Xiaoyun glanced at Chen Dong and walked quietly to his home without speaking.
Captain Zhang wanted to say something, but seeing Xiaoyun's livid face, he finally didn't say anything.
It can be felt that both Xiaoyun and Captain Zhang are full of complicated emotions towards this mass grave.
This made Chen Dong even more curious about this pit.
Xiaoyun and Captain Zhang are both ordinary people, and they walked for a while on a journey of more than ten kilometers.
Back in the village, Xiaoyun's home was at the very edge of the village. Strictly speaking, it was even separated from the village.
The house is also very dilapidated.
When Chen Dong saw this, he couldn't help but said: "Do the people in the village reject you?"
"No."
Xiaoyun just replied lightly and said nothing more.
"Don't be surprised, Xiaoyun has some bad memories about mass graves, so your asking about mass graves may remind her of the past."
Captain Zhang smiled and explained, but still didn't talk about the mass graves.
Chen Dong was too lazy to continue asking.
At worst, he would ask himself when the things in the pit come out at night.
The three of them entered the house.
Chen Dong looked around and found that the interior of the house was very clean and tidy, and filled with a faint fragrance.
The room furnishings are also very simple, with a bed, a few bamboo chairs and a wooden table.
Further inside, there is a desk filled with yellow talisman papers, as well as cinnabar pens and other evil-dispelling props.
Finally, there is a statue of the founder, which should be Zhong Kui.
Xiaoyun took off his black cloak, revealing a youthful and beautiful face.
"You guys sit for a while by yourself first. There is still some time before sunset. It should be safe during this period."
Xiaoyun said, then walked to the deepest part of the room and offered a stick of incense to the statue of the Patriarch.
'Dong dong dong~'
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Captain Zhang went to open the door, and an old lady from the village came.
The aunt was holding a lunch box in her hand, with a kind face.
"Hey, Xiao Zhang is here too. You haven't returned to the city." When the old lady saw Captain Zhang, her eyes were as crescent-shaped, looking very pleased.
"Well, Xiaoyun said that today's matter is a bit serious and asked me to stay here for a while."
Captain Zhang didn't see the fire of gossip in the old lady's eyes and explained quickly.
"Oh, that's it. Xiao Zhang, you're not young anymore, so you should pay more attention to this marriage... Well, seeing as Xiao Yun has been busy all day, he definitely doesn't have time to cook, so I made some more for you today. "
After saying that, the old lady saw Chen Dong in the room and said in surprise: "There are still guests? Oh, there are three people. I'm afraid this is not enough to eat. Wait a minute and I will get some more."
The old lady took a deep look at Chen Dong, looked at Chen Dong's handsome appearance, and patted Captain Zhang's shoulder meaningfully.
"Auntie, let me go with you to get it. I can't eat the food you cooked for free."
Chen Dong stood up with a very sunny smile on his face.
"Oh, this young man is so sensible."
The aunt naturally agreed, and her favorable impression of Chen Dong also increased a lot.
"Captain Zhang, I'll be right back."
After Chen Dong warned him, he followed the old lady and left.
Getting food was the second priority. Chen Dong mainly wanted to ask about the mass graves through this old lady.
After a brief exchange, Chen Dong naturally brought the topic to the mass grave.
According to the old lady, this mass grave was specially used to discard the corpses of villagers when the island nation invaded.
A hundred years ago, the islanders invaded Yun Province and recruited men from eight villages in ten miles to build fortifications.
During the construction process, if any workers were injured or exhausted, they would be thrown into this mass grave.
After the construction of the fortifications was completed, the beasts of this archipelago country gathered villagers from more than a dozen nearby villages here and pushed these people into the deep pit together.
There are not even one villager out of ten in more than a dozen villages!
The old lady became more and more angry as she talked, and finally her eyes turned red.
"I was still young at that time, and my mother and I escaped by hiding in a well, but my father..."
The old lady wiped away her tears and continued: "At that time, the Japanese soldiers fired into the pit and left. Perhaps there were too many people in the pit. Many people only suffered minor injuries. It was impossible to be suppressed by so many people at that time. Can’t get up.”
"The people in the pit screamed at the top of their lungs, and the screaming lasted for three days and three nights before they stopped."
"I will never forget those three days and three nights. At that time, my mother and I even hoped that my father could die happily and not suffer such torture."
"Three days later, it rained. The mud and water from the surrounding mountains gathered into the pit to cover the dead villagers, but the mud soon turned dark red."
No wonder Xiaoyun and Captain Zhang refused to talk about what happened in this mass grave.
The island nation...is a nation that is annoying no matter what time period it is!
"Auntie, what does this mass grave have to do with Xiaoyun? Why did you come to her before going out?" Chen Dong asked.
"Xiaoyun is a famous goddess in our village. Of course, this is a method passed down from her ancestors."
The aunt sighed and said helplessly: "This child Xiaoyun also has a hard life."
"The people in the pit were resentful and resentful. It didn't take long for some strange things to happen. It was Xiaoyun's great-grandfather who took action to suppress it. It was so easy to deal with the grievances of tens of thousands of people. Xiaoyun's great-grandfather He died not long after, and before he died, he asked Grandpa Xiaoyun to throw the body into a mass grave. He hoped that after his death he could try to persuade the villagers in the pit."
"Xiaoyun's grandfather took over the blame for the suppression of mass graves, but the resentment would become deeper and deeper as time went by, and finally broke out again one day decades ago."
"After a night of howling ghosts and wolves, the mass graves finally became quiet again. Perhaps Grandpa Xiaoyun played a role. This time, Xiaoyun's grandfather did not die, but the root of the disease was left behind."
Chen Dong's brows furrowed more and more as he listened.
It is understandable that Xiaoyun's great-grandfather can deal with the resentment of tens of thousands of people. If the resentment is not very powerful at first, it is understandable.
But resentment becomes more serious the longer it lasts. Even if Xiaoyun's grandfather helps, Xiaoyun's grandfather cannot suppress the evil spirits by himself.
Is it possible that Xiaoyun's grandfather is a monk?
"Later, Xiaoyun's parents took over the responsibility of guarding the mass graves. More than ten years ago...when Xiaoyun was five or six years old, Xiaoyun's parents left here and never came back."
Speaking of this, the aunt became very angry and cursed: "Two cruel things, Xiaoyun was only so young, so they left her to her grandfather for more than ten years! Xiaoyun is already twenty years old! Once I haven’t come back to see it either!”
Chen Dong: "..."
After the old lady finished cursing, the expression on her face immediately turned sad: "Probably when Xiaoyun was ten years old, her grandfather's condition became more serious. There is no decent hospital in this mountain village. Xiaoyun goes to the mountain every day to collect medicine. Treat her grandfather."
"August 15th... yes, it's August 15th. Xiaoyun's grandfather suddenly said he wanted to eat mooncakes. That girl Xiaoyun knocked on the door and asked us to borrow mooncakes."
"What happened next?" Chen Dong couldn't help but ask.
"Later, the moon cakes were borrowed, and the grandfather and grandson happily ate the moon cakes and spent the full moon night..." the aunt sighed.
Hearing this result, Chen Dong felt relieved.
The aunt shook her head and continued: "But when Xiaoyun woke up the next day, she was the only one left in the house. There were leftover mooncakes and a note on the table."
Chen Dong had already anticipated something and asked in a deep voice: "What is written on the note?"
"The note says: My dear granddaughter, grandpa doesn't want to be a burden to you anymore. Finally, grandpa will help you one more time. Don't forget what grandpa told you."
The aunt said with red eyes: "After that old bone put Xiaoyun to sleep, he supported his sick body and knocked on every door in the village, hoping that we could take care of Xiaoyun, and then walked towards the mass grave. "
"After that, Xiaoyun took on the blame of the goddess."
"hiss!"
Chen Dong took a deep breath, even when he heard the result, he felt uncomfortable.
It’s really hard to imagine how a ten-year-old girl survived.
When he arrived at his eldest wife's house, Chen Dong turned around and prepared to leave after getting the food.
"Hey, boy, wait a minute!"
The aunt called out to Chen Dong: "Young man, seeing that you are so interested in Xiaoyun, you two are probably dating, right?"
