Chapter 881 (1/2)
”That's it! From now on, you should strengthen this belief
Xia Ying echoed in a loud voice and immediately pulled him up.
”But now, you'd better show me around your house! By the way, we also go to worship your ancestors. I have brought all the incense and paper money with me
She showed Gu Yuanlong a small basket she was carrying.
Gu Yuanlong suddenly realized. ”I'll tell you, mother, why do you carry a basket when you go out? It's filled with these things!”
”Why not? When I come to see your elders for the first time, of course, I have to give them some filial piety. ” Xia Ying laughs.
Gu Yuanlong was more and more happy with his smile, so he took the initiative to lead the way for Xia Ying.
”Come on, I'll show you my house first.”
He knew that Xia Ying was very interested in this knowledge, so he took Xia Ying to understand it on the spot.
”This is the East chamber and the best place in the family. It's for the most respected elders in the family. There are more than a dozen families who have taken over their families. My great grandfather and great grandmother live here. ”
”This is Nanxiang, where my father and I live. From what I can remember, my father will personally guide my homework whenever he is free. My name is that he holds my hand and teaches me to write a meeting! ”
”And this is the west chamber, where the second and third uncles live. Second uncle and third uncle can't compare with my father in reading, but they also have some skills. At that time, they planned to take a shady Road, but as a result... ”
Gu Yuanlong introduced the places of his home to Xia Ying one by one, and every time he went there, Xia Ying took out incense sticks and paper money to worship the dead immortals of Zhai's family.
In the end, Gu Yuanlong stops at a seemingly ordinary well in the backyard.
”This is the well that once devoured the lives of all the men under the age of ten in Zhai's family.”
Xia Ying's heart is tight.
No matter how many times she heard Gu Yuanlong talk about it, it was no more powerful than seeing the well with her own eyes.
Xia Ying doesn't feel soft at the foot.
But she insisted on moving to the well step by step.
Looking down through the mouth of the well, there was nothing but water. Ten years later, the people who were once thrown into the well have turned into white bones. How many people now know that so many people have been killed in this well?
Under the oppression of the imperial power, it is not known how many people died as the people in this well.
Xia Ying closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
”Brother long, take out the rest of the incense sticks and paper money. Let's all melt them and give them to the evil spirits in this well! They must have had a bad time under the nine springs. ”
”Good.” Gu Yuanlong came over with a basket.
”Why? Mother, look at it
Just around the well head, Gu Yuanlong's face changed. He quickly called Xia Ying.
Xia Ying did not know why, but she still passed.
Then she understood why Gu Yuanlong was surprised because there was a pile of ashes in the place with his back to the well head! In front of the ashes, there are several burning incense sticks.
”Have people come to worship them?” Xia Ying exclaimed in surprise, ”who can it be?”
”Maybe it's an old friend of Zhai's house.” Gu Yuanlong said, ”after all, it has been so many years, and the wind has faded. Naturally, some people come over the wall to worship them like us.”
”But if they are the old friends of Zhai's house, shouldn't they go to worship your father, your grandfather and your great grandfather? All the children in this well have not yet grown up, and the children who played with them at the beginning were also children. Over the years, how many of them will have such a good memory and would like to come to worship? ” Xia Ying asked.
Gu Yuanlong frowned slightly.
He thought of it, too.
