Chapter 481 Chapter 2 Searching for a New Tomb

"You don't know much about such a big thing, you must not be a close relative?" I asked again.It's not that I'm meddlesome, but that the visitor has sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and a pair of monkey-like hands are always scratching and stroking his face. It's not that I mean to be mean, that person really isn't much different from a monkey.Not to mention his sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, not to mention his scratching hands, not to mention that his eye sockets are facing forward and the distance between them is narrow, not to mention that he is short, thin and stooped, just looking at his mouth protruding like the edge of a dumpling, it is absolutely a Deputy monkey phase.When speaking, his teeth can be seen to be sparse and slanted outward.

If he hadn't had any hair on his face and was wearing a greasy tunic, anyone would have thought he was a monkey doing acrobatics on the ass of entertainers. "Uh..." Monkey rolled his hands on his chest for a long time and said, "How should I put it, I don't know her very well, but I've always known her." I couldn't understand what he meant, and I was still thinking about the relationship between Kan, who was hit by my grandfather, and sister Si's son, so I said "oh" indiscriminately. Grandpa stepped forward to shake hands with him, and said with a solemn expression: "What you heard is correct, she has been dead for a long time."

The monkey's hands trembled, his expression was startled, and he murmured: "Ah...really...really dead..." He seemed to be unable to see the grandpa in front of him, his eyes were distracted, obviously thinking about other things in his head.Then, he stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, his appearance was no different from that of a real monkey. "You're not sure about her death yet, are you?" Grandpa asked.Afterwards, grandpa turned his head and shouted into the room: "My wife, get a cup of hot tea for the guests!" As soon as the words came out, grandpa's expression changed.

At that moment, he habitually thought that grandma was still alive. My heart also twitched. But the monkey didn't notice our emotional changes. He waved his hands and said, "No, no, I have other things to do. Next time I have a chance to drink tea again." He turned around and left in a hurry . Hope there is no next time.I thought to myself.I don't know why, but I have an inexplicable dislike for him.Maybe it's because of his actions. Grandpa was still immersed in the sudden sadness, with a numb expression.He put his often-pinched finger in front of his nose and sniffed.

"This person is really strange. Why do you ask us this question? Did the pregnant woman die of illness? Go to her home, or go to Fangjiazhuang to ask, why ask the neighboring village?" I muttered. "Yeah." Grandpa nodded, his expression still not stretched.He answered me reflexively, and didn't hear what I said at all. Seeing that grandpa is in a bad mood, I can't ask him what he wants to ask. After sitting for a while, there were footsteps outside the door.I looked up and saw that monkey came again. The monkey stood still at the door, squeezed out a smile, and asked politely: "Excuse me again. I forgot to ask just now, was Lin Jiazhu buried on the concave mountain after his death?"

I got angry when I heard it, and said coldly: "You all know Aotu Mountain, why do you still ask us?" Aotu Mountain is a group of mountains five or six miles north of Fangjiazhuang.There are six mountains in total, three tall and three short.One tall and one short are next to each other, but the distance between the third mountain and the fourth mountain is relatively far, so from a distance, it looks like a "concave" and a "convex" character.According to my grandfather, Aotu Mountain used to have a very elegant name, but the vulgar traffickers prefer to use the figurative name.In this way, the name Aotu Mountain has been handed down instead, and few people remember the original name.

Ao Convex Mountain belongs to the territory of Fangjiazhuang, and a feng shui watcher said a long time ago that Ao Convex Mountain has a good feng shui, especially the word "Au" is a treasure land of geomantic omen.It is impossible for the people of Fangjiazhuang to move the whole village there, so they set that land as a cemetery for the village. The people of Fangjiazhuang were buried there for generations, but there was no improvement for the next generation.People in Fangjiazhuang felt that they had been fooled by people who read Fengshui, but funerals in Ao Convex Mountain had formed a custom, so it continued like this.This is like the habit of calling these six mountains "Concave and Convex Mountains".

Lin Jiazhu was the daughter-in-law of Fangjiazhuang, so when she died, she was naturally buried in Aotu Mountain. If the monkey is a relative of Lin Jiazhu, then he should also know this custom.Then why come here to ask this question?If the monkey was not a relative of Lin Jiazhu, and not an acquaintance who walked around nearby, how could he think of going to visit Lin Jiazhu's grave? My mind is full of doubts. The monkey said: "I'm still not sure, so I'm bothering you to ask." He smiled all over his face, and his attitude was not bad. As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit a smiling face.I smiled back at him and said, "Yes. She was buried in Aotu Mountain. People in Fangjiazhuang are usually buried there."

He chuckled, nodded repeatedly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother." He turned to leave, but was stopped by his grandfather. Grandpa asked: "My friend, since you want to pay respects, why don't you ask Lin Jiazhu's family? Even if you are sure that she is dead and buried in Aotu Mountain, how do you know which grave belongs to her?" " Grandpa was right.At that time, not every tomb had a regular tombstone, and more than half of the tombs were sealed with broken bricks at the exit of the tomb.There are not many people in a village and they know each other well, so there will never be any mistakes when going to the grave.Only those whose families are quite wealthy, or who are very meticulous in their work, will set up another bluestone tombstone on the grave.

According to this, monkeys who are not familiar with the places where they were born are very likely to mistake the graves. But his answer made my grandpa and I worry superfluous. "Although the tombstone with the inscriptions may not be found, the new tomb must be new soil, and I can recognize it by looking at it." The corner of the monkey's mouth curled into an imperceptible arc, and he replied confidently. "What if there are new graves there?" I asked. The monkey waved his hand and said, "Probably not. Anyway, thank you for your concern. I'm going first." After speaking, he disappeared before our eyes again.

"What a strange man," I said. Grandpa said to me as if he didn't hear it: "Liangzi, go to the cowshed to see if the cow is dishonest. I keep hearing the sound of the cow's horn pulling the rope. Maybe it's because I'm hungry. If so, throw some away." Grass to it." Grandpa's buffalo has been a little manic recently. He often wraps the rein around the horns, rubs it back and forth until the rein breaks, and then sneaks out to eat grass or enter the water.
