Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "Okay, I won't hide it anymore. Last night, Liu Dixian and I went to a tree to see the Taoist homestead, and saw a tree near the mass grave.

The old lady’s ghost, they say, is Lao Jiang’s sister, the one who married into Yujia Village from our village.”

"I guess I should be of the same generation as you, grandma, so I came here out of curiosity to ask you about it."

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Mrs. Tan put down her sewing and sighed.

"She is a hard-working woman. Her life has been hard since she was a child. Her biological father died when she was still in her mother's belly."

"My mother is from another village. She had a fetus while passing near our village and gave birth to her on the roadside."

"Perhaps I didn't think about raising her up, so I just stuffed her into the grass after she was born. I didn't care. Your father and mother, Mr. Jiang, happened to be working nearby. When they heard the child crying, they took the child back.

"

"At that time, your father and mother, Mr. Jiang, hadn't given birth to a child yet, so they just wanted to bring back a child first, for good luck, so that they could be pregnant in the future."

"Lao Jiang got pregnant the year after I picked her up. I originally planned to make her a child bride, but when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she secretly fell in love with the son of a family in the south of our village.

"

"Which man, his family was also engaged to him. Such two people should not be together. When the parents of both parties found out, they naturally started to fight and scolded each other. The two of them were also shaken by the weight at that time.

, actually thought of elopement!" said Tan.

"Elope?" Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Tan nodded: "I was caught before I even got to Qingshui Town."

"The man was locked up by his family, and he was not allowed to come out to see her. On the one hand, they were organizing his marriage affairs so that he could get married to his fiancée as soon as possible."

"As for the girl, she originally wanted her to get married to you, Mr. Jiang, but found that she was no longer perfect. Now, your parents, Mr. Jiang, were so angry that they came out.

Because of such a shameful thing, he sold it to a stupid son of a family in Yujia Village for two taels of silver."

"In this way, the two of them were separated. The man married a wife and had children,"

"It's a miserable thing for a woman. She marries a fool. The road to her mother's side is cut off. Her husband's family doesn't care about her. The fool bullies her every day and no one makes decisions for her."

"A few years later, she actually gave birth to a son. Anyway, I had never seen what the child looked like, but I heard from those who had seen the child's appearance that the child looked nothing like the Fool's family.

, 80% of them are the children of the man in front of me."

"Two years later, the stupid man died. The son didn't know what was going on. He fell into the river and drowned while playing in the water. She went half crazy and became old all of a sudden."

"Later, I heard more about her one after another. Everyone said that the two of them were still inseparable."

"The children in that man's family have grown up gradually, and his wife is a shrew. Once when the man was out and not at home, the shrew got mad and said that he must have gone to Yujia Village to have a private meeting with the Jiang family again."

"When he came back from outside, the woman started fighting with him, and several adult children came up to help the shrew. The mother and son teamed up to beat the father."

"The man must have been so angry that he ran inside, locked the door, and set his own house on fire. When the fire was put out, others could not survive either!"

"When the news reached Yujia Village, Mrs. Jiang was no longer alive. She ran to jump off a cliff, but she didn't die. She broke the bones in her back and became hunched like that. I heard that she left during the plague. She was more than ten years old.

Years have passed, and as for that man, he has been gone even longer, thirty or forty years ago, and not many people remember these old things!" Mrs. Tan shook her head and sighed.

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing was shocked.

"So, that man was burned to death?" she asked.

Mrs. Tan nodded: "The burning is terrible. I heard that the black oil is flowing down the legs, which makes me sick!"

Yang Ruoqing was stunned there, speechless for a long time.

Not noticing Yang Ruoqing's movements, Mrs. Tan twitched her lips: "Why don't you say anything? Are you scared? It's you who chased me to find out about this. Don't blame me if you are scared now!"

Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses and laughed.

"Miscellaneous, I dare to go to the mass grave of a tree in the middle of the night, and still be frightened by the old things you said?" Yang Ruoqing said.

"I was thinking about what I saw last night. So, that old man who was burned to death is right for me," she added.

Tan was not stupid, he immediately caught something from Yang Ruoqing's voice.

"What? What did you say it was the right number? What did you see last night?" Tan asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Two people, an old man and a hunchbacked old lady. There is a will-o'-the-wisp on the old man's head. Mr. Liu said that it is a unique sign of people who have been burned to death."

"The old man's ghost ran to the mass grave and met the old lady's ghost, and then the two of them went out for a walk together."

"What? Taking a walk?" Ms. Tan was so shocked that her voice rose a little higher.

"You said you saw the two of them walking around?" She couldn't believe it and asked again.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Definitely and definitely."

Mr. Tan didn't speak, and sat there speechless. It took a while before he came back to his senses.

"Why are these two people so obsessed with each other? They went through so much trouble when they were alive, and their families were destroyed in the end. Why do they have to get together after they die? What a bad fate!" said Tan.

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to support her chin, and said with some emotion: "Hey, I didn't understand their situation before, but now I understand, I suddenly admire them both. It's not easy in front of them. It's really

A pair of miserable mandarin ducks!"

"What a mandarin duck!" Tan spat lightly.

"The marriage of children is determined by the parents' orders. The two of them did such a shameful thing, and both parents lost their face. This is not a mandarin duck, this is an injustice. Parents are really

Feeding them is in vain!" Tan spat.

Yang Ruoqing quickly stood up from the bed and said, "Nai, what are you talking about? If you continue to scold me, I will go back and come to visit you another day."

Mrs. Tan said: "I'm just looking at you, you came here specifically to trick me into telling me something. This damn girl's movie is really bad!"

Yang Ruoqing chuckled, "Nai, you are wrong. It is precisely because Nai knows a lot and has a wide range of knowledge that I came here specifically to ask for advice!"

"By the way, my mother asked me to come to the old house and bring the clothes and shoes that you and my father changed out to be washed. Where are the dirty clothes?"

During this time, Lao Yangtou and Tan were taken care of by the third room, so the daily life of the old couple was also taken care of by the third room.
