Chapter 975: Old News about the Changsheng Archway (12)

Before Su Wu could reply, grandma raised her head and looked outside the woodshed door, shouting: "Tiger, tiger!"

Li Heihu, who was chopping firewood outside the door, heard his grandma's shout. He put down his ax and hurried into the firewood house. He looked blankly at the grandfather and grandson sitting on the small stool and said, "Grandma, are you calling me?"

What's up? "

The old woman snorted, stared at the confused Li Heihu, and said, "Huzi, grandma asked you, what happened to the stonemasons who drove the piles?"

Li Heihu's expression froze, and he immediately looked at Su Wu beside him.

Su Wu looked as usual and said at this moment: "Grandma, I am no longer a child.

Now even if Li Heihu doesn't talk about this in my ears, there will be Zhang San and Li Si who don't pay attention and reveal some things about that year. I'm not a heartless fool. I will always pay more attention to my mother's past things and pay attention to them. .

Moreover, the reason I got sick this time was because I always saw a "woman covered with a white hijab" in the middle of the night. That night, as soon as this female ghost came out, she kept pinching my neck, pinching me hard, and killing me. I fainted from the pinch!

I saw that female ghost floating out of my mother’s urn! "

Grandma was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

She looked shocked and was stunned for a long time before she asked Su Wu in a trembling voice: "You kid, why didn't you tell grandma earlier when you encountered these unclean things at night?

If you kill some white-covered female ghost, how can you let grandma live? "

"I don't want to worry grandma..."

"If something unexpected happens to you because of this, grandma will regret it to death!"

"Wait!"

Grandma grabbed the wooden stick by the wall and stood up shakily while leaning on the stick.

She asked Su Wu and Li Heihu to wait in the firewood house, then walked to the main room where they slept, and took out the urn placed on the table opposite the door.

While the old woman was moving the urn, Li Heihu whispered to Su Wu: "Zhuzi, is there any danger in the urn? Ask grandma to move it, if anything happens..."

Su Wu shook his head: "I have thoroughly investigated it.

There won't be any danger. "

"That's good." Li Heihu relaxed.

The two of them watched the old woman holding an urn in one hand and a cane in the other, slowly moving out of the main room, and hurriedly went out to greet them. However, as soon as they walked out of the door, the old woman stopped them in a serious voice: "You are all here." Don't move in the house!

If there is a ghost in this box, it can only harm me.

You two can't accompany me, an old woman, to die! "

Hearing this, Li Heihu sighed helplessly and turned to look at Su Wu beside him. Su Wu stood there without making any movement.

Seeing Su Wu like this, Li Heihu felt relieved.

The old woman dug her crutches against the outer wall of the hall and placed the urn on the wooden board covering the water tank behind the front wall. She touched the urn covered with a dark blue coarse cloth and sighed softly: "Juanzi, if you have a spirit in heaven, please bless your child and let him live a peaceful life without illness or disaster..."

After whispering for a while, she took off the coarse cloth on the urn and opened the urn.

The red silk bag in the box wrapped a pile of snow-white bones.

Grandma looked at the pile of pale bones and was in a daze for a moment.

Her eyes were red, and the look in her eyes was more regretful than sad. After she was stunned, her grandma carefully reached into the red silk bag, rummaged through the pile of bones for a while, and found a piece of smelting object that looked like silver—— Su Wu smelted the silver-like cross into a lump and put it back into Li Wenjuan's urn.

Later, grandma found a piece of yellowed paper from the ashes. She spread out the paper and saw Li Wenjuan's birthday written on it.

In this day and age, not many people are literate.

There are even fewer literate women.

Grandma happened to be one of them.

She stared at the birth date on the note for a while, and her eyes paused on the hole that had been poked by the silver cross on the note - the old woman suddenly turned red, clutching the note tightly, her eyes The tears kept falling!

She was trembling violently all over, her breathing became heavier and faster, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Li Heihu beside the Chaimen.

Black Tiger was so frightened by his grandma's gaze that he shrank his neck.

I heard my grandma say in a trembling voice: "Huzi, go and call all four of your grandfathers over!

Grandma wants to discuss something with them! "

"Ah!" Li Heihu reacted immediately and responded quickly, "I'll go right away. Grandma, you wait here, I'll call them right away!"

"Go, go..." Grandma nodded lightly. She reached behind her to get her crutches, but couldn't find them for a moment. She stumbled backwards and was about to fall down - but at some point, Su Wu Ji stood behind her grandma, supported her in time, and helped her sit on the small chair at the door of the woodshed.

Grandma patted the back of Su Wu's hand and wept silently: "Wang Huan, this wolf-hearted thing... Grandma originally thought that he was your father and left him some kindness, but she didn't expect him to be so ruthless. He was so ruthless. Na!

Your mother died miserably...it was me who failed to protect her. If I had listened to her more and talked to her more, I might have discovered something, and maybe she wouldn't have been killed..."

The old woman muttered in a low voice, her eyes full of hatred and regret.

Su Wu listened to her words, covered the urn and put it back in the main room.

He then turned back, calmed the old man's mood, and then asked softly: "Grandma, how did my mother die?

You don't have to worry about his face.

He no longer recognizes me as a son. From now on, I will take my maiden name as Li and become a member of our Li family. Why do you care about the face of a stranger? Whatever you know, tell it. "

"Yes, Zhuzi is already a member of the Li family..." Grandma touched Su Wu's head, as if she had found some comfort, and gradually regained her energy. She held the note in her palm and recalled it. He said, "Your late grandfather and I had no children, and your mother only had a daughter.

Because she was the only child, and Lao Li's family had few heirs, she had been doted on since she was a child.

When she grew up, your grandpa and I originally planned to recruit a son-in-law to our family, but she fell in love with a poor scholar from the next village - your father..."

Grandma chattered a lot, recounting some experiences of 'Li Wenjuan' when she got married and the several quarrels she had with Wang Huan after her marriage, but she never got to the point.

Su Wu didn't rush her, and just let her talk like this to relieve her emotions.

She talked for a while, and finally talked about things related to the 'stonemason who drove the pile': "The year you were born, your father passed away in autumn again. Your mother told me that this time he passed away in autumn. After that, I didn't feel depressed. I just stopped reading. Instead, I ran around all day long, not knowing what I was doing.

Your father got acquainted with another scholar who failed in the same autumn. The two often went to casinos together and soon lost all their wealth...

Also in that year, the capital sent many craftsmen to various places to build the 'Eternal Life Archway' at a place where famous mountains and rivers gathered. No one knew who the archway was built for - but at that time, there were rumors that if it was being built Placing your family's birth date and horoscope on the foundation of the archway will benefit your family, enable them to enjoy wealth and prosperity...

After all, this kind of thing is very evil. Who can throw the birth date into the foundation and be pressed under the ground with stones just because of a few rumors?

But there are also people who are so obsessed that they secretly ask a mason to throw their birth date into the foundation...

‘Zhao Zhen’, a second-rate man from the Zhao Family Hall in the south of the village, threw his birth date under the longevity archway on the Wanshan side. Not long after the news came out, he fell seriously ill and died of vomiting out his heart and liver!

At that time, I had a dream one night, and I dreamed that your mother was pressed under a big rock, and a hand grew out of the sky, carrying a hammer, and hit the rock on your mother's chest hard. , when I heard your mother crying non-stop, I felt panicked and woke up from my dream with tears in my eyes...

After hearing about Zhao Zhen, that second-rate son, and because your father was obsessed with gambling at that time, I was worried that he would do something like this. I worried about him all night. When it was dark, I woke up your grandpa. The two of you went to the next village to see your mother.

Wang Huan was not at home at the time, and Juaner was feeding the chickens in the yard with a big belly.

Your grandpa and I stopped at her house for a while and found out that she hadn't felt any physical discomfort recently, so we felt relieved. At that time, I still felt that Wang Huan was a well-educated person and wouldn't do such a stupid thing. things.

Later... I learned from people in Wang Huan's village that the reason your father was not at home that day was to look for the masons who were driving the piles... From that day on, Juan'er's health became worse day by day. After insisting on giving birth to you, she also died..."

Recalling the past events, the old woman burst into tears and was extremely sad.

Su Wu pondered for a while, grabbed the clues in her grandmother's words, and asked her: "Are those immortal archways built by craftsmen still there today?"

"That is the archway built by the high-ranking officials in the capital. Who dares to demolish it privately?

They are all placed nicely in the deep mountains and old forests. "The old woman wiped her tears and replied, "After the incident of driving the piles, it was said that someone secretly asked a Feng Shui master to take a look.

The Feng Shui master said that these archways are located seven inches from each dragon vein, locking the dragon veins in various places.

It is said that this way the nobles in the capital will be able to secure their positions forever, lasting for a hundred generations..."

While grandma was still talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the yard.

Several tall old men, leading two or three equally strong middle-aged men, squeezed into the gatehouse of grandma's house, turned around the front wall, and gathered around Su Wu and grandma.

"What happened?"

"Sister-in-law, why are you crying?"

"We brothers are all here. Auntie, if you have something to say, just tell me. We are not afraid of anyone who provokes us!"
