"I went to fight and didn't come back..."

The old lady sighed leisurely and with an understatement, revealed the most tragic but dark history of Shuangtang Village.

That happened in the 1920s and 1930s. Although the old lady was not born yet, she heard about this historical event with her own ears after marrying to Shuangtang Village. It is also the closest thing to that historical event in Shuangtang Village today.

People who do things.

At that time, there were only a few households in Shuangtang Village. There were twenty or thirty households, and a total of fourteen young and strong men came out one after another with enthusiasm, but in the end, no one came back.

More than half of the families in the village are left with only women, children, the elderly and the weak, hoping desperately. But what is despairing is that for one, two, three, four, ten or twenty years, no one has been seen alive or dead, not even a single person has come back with a letter.

No one.

Among those fourteen people, there were fathers, sons, and brothers, and some families were separated because of this.

Whether to set up memorials for them in the ancestral hall so that they can enjoy the incense of future generations and comfort their spirits in heaven to prevent them from becoming lonely ghosts. This issue was very controversial at the time. Some people had already accepted the worst outcome, but there were also many others.

There is a faint glimmer of hope in people’s hearts.

But as time goes by year by year, more and more people gradually accept it. However, because their life and death are unknown, and due to the environment, they can only hide their spiritual places in the back room.

Also because they could not come back, Shuangtang Village also ushered in the darkest period.

In that turbulent, smoke-filled, and precarious society, after some families in the village were broken up, and some families were left with only women, children, the elderly and the weak, some people began to think about being exterminated, not only people in the village, but also people from other villages.

There are even people inside and outside the village who collude with each other.

Some women couldn't bear it and took their children back to their parents' homes; some couldn't leave anymore and some were forced to death.

Su Qinghe's grandfather was also one of the fourteen people, but fortunately, Su Qinghe's mother-in-law was pregnant before he left home. Unfortunately, this was the only pregnant woman left in the family.

Fortunately, from the time Grandpa Su Qinghe was born until he was seven or eight years old, the village was relatively peaceful, and he was able to grow up safely. However, because there were only orphans and widowers in the family, he was often bullied by others.

When eating food became popular in the village, Grandma Su Qinghe sent money and food, and sent Grandpa Su Qinghe to an old Chinese medicine doctor a few miles away, so that Grandpa Su Qinghe could avoid trouble in the village and learn from it.

The ability to make a living.

The reason why Grandpa Su Qinghe is respected is not only because he is a doctor, but also because he used his identity as a doctor to unite some young people in the village and boil frogs in warm water to slowly reverse the bad atmosphere in Shuangtang Village at that time.

.

However, after this disaster, only three of the eight families who went out to carry guns and fight still had incense left.

These things were either what the old man told the old lady, or the old lady heard them from Su Qinghe’s mother-in-law.

Nowadays, this period of village history, which was aroused at the beginning, has gradually been quietly covered up by the long river of time in the obscure words of the older generation.

Su Qinghe sat next to the old lady and listened to every word, feeling filled with sadness and indignation, but also having a hard time expressing her feelings.

In Shuangtang Village in his memory, everyone lived in harmony and helped each other. Even if there was a quarrel over some issue, it was quickly resolved and reconciled as before.

He can even say that he grew up in a beautiful and perfect environment. Therefore, from their parents' generation to theirs, peers will unite and help each other.

This is not seen in many surrounding villages.

It was also because of this that when Su Xiaoting was robbed, some people said that someone dared to cause trouble in Shuangtang Village.

It is also for this reason that although the temple house is not in Shuangtang Village, the community is named after Shuangtang.

Bai Zhi is also listening. She doesn't care about the changes in Shuangtang Village. She only knows that the fourteen people who died came from eight families, but five families have lost their incense inheritance.

Such a sad thing should not have happened to them; their glorious deeds should not have been covered up; their memorial tablets should be posted in the outer room and respected by future generations, rather than hidden in the back room of the ancestral hall, where the pearls are covered with dust.

Bai Zhi asked in a muffled voice: "Mom, it's been so long, so why don't they post their memorial tablets in the outer room of the ancestral hall instead of posting them in the inner room?"

The old lady sighed again, "The evildoer will not agree. Being able to set up a spirit in the back room is already the best result of a compromise between the two parties. Being too tough will only be counterproductive. Especially in the environment of overcorrection at that time,

No one cares how they died. They only know that if they are not a boss, they will only cause trouble if they make it public rashly."

Bai Zhi opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

But Su Qinghe spoke, "Po, it's been so long now, and the people who did the evil in the beginning are no longer around."

Seeing the old lady nodding, Su Qinghe continued: "Then what are you worried about now? You also said that my uncle is there!"

"It is enough for descendants to offer them a share of incense. No matter whether it is in the inner room or the outer room, it is just an ancestral hall. If we want to invite them out, then some people will be nailed to the pillar of shame. How about Shuangtang Village?"

It’s easy to achieve the current unity situation, so why bother to create gaps? I think they are in heaven, and they don’t want to see such a thing happen again.”

The old lady's words made Su Qinghe have mixed feelings again. He didn't know if this was the best result, but he felt very uncomfortable, but he also felt that what the old lady said made sense.

"Okay, I've told you what you want to know, don't think too much! It's getting late, Ah He, you should go cook, you've wasted so much time on me, I have to go play with Guaguai!

"The old lady stood up slowly, holding her knees, and returned to the house.

Su Qinghe and Bai Zhi looked at each other. Su Qinghe shook his head slightly, stood up, patted his butt, and walked to the kitchen.

The old lady was right in saying that the ancestral hall is just an ancestral hall, but that's all.

I don’t know what kind of battle they were fighting outside or where they died.

……

Su Wenbiao is here.

Wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, she walked into Su Qinghe's house while shooting a basketball.

The high school he attended is in the county and is one of the best century-old schools in the entire industry and city.

As soon as he arrived, the old lady smiled and asked knowingly, "A Biao is going back to school."

Su Wenbiao nodded and looked at Su Xiaoting, "Tingting, I'll put the basketball here for you, so you can play with it normally."

Su Xiaoting's eyes brightened, "Really"

"Really, but you have to bring it back to me when I come back!" Su Wenbiao also came out and suddenly remembered that Su Xiaoting asked him to borrow a basketball the day before yesterday, so he went back and took out the basketball.

Once the vacation was over, Su Xiaoting could only play with little Guaiguai in the village. Putting the basketball here for her would relieve her boredom.

After handing the basketball to Su Xiaoting, Su Wenbiao left, and the old lady did not insist on staying. After all, school was important, and Su Wenbiao had to wait for the bus.

"Sister, look at me!" After Su Wenbiao left, Su Xiaoting was shooting basketball in the room, showing off her skills with little Guaiguai.
