Song Qiu's heart tightened. With Mr. Tang staring at him like this, he couldn't say anything that he hadn't been there before.
Seeing that the three children all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him, Mr. Tang sighed softly. After a moment, he pointed to the rows of memorial tablets at the back and suddenly said: "Do you know why my father built this village temple?"
, erect these tablets?”
The three of them raised their heads, glanced at Mr. Tang, and then at the memorial tablet behind them. Curious, they all shook their heads.
Didn't I say it was just to keep him in mind? After all, we had a hard time escaping together back then.
Mr. Tang seemed to have figured out what the three of them were thinking, and couldn't help but smile, "That's true, and it also means that, but in fact, there is a huge secret hidden in this village temple."
secret!
Song Qiu's heart tightened, and he really couldn't figure out what big secret this small village could have.
But thinking about the strange copper bird on the mountain, she couldn't say anything else.
Curious, Zhang Yang twitched his ears, ready to hear what Mr. Tang would tell him about the secret.
"This secret is related to the lives of everyone in our entire Songshan Village."
The three of them felt their hearts tightening as they heard the secret that was vital to their lives.
What is the secret?
Just as he was waiting for the next sentence, Mr. Tang changed the subject and no longer mentioned these two words, but said: "So, Grandpa, no matter what you did on the mountain yesterday or what you saw, from now on until you leave,
After visiting this village temple, I will forget everything about yesterday, and you will not be allowed to touch the Iron Pine Forest again in the future."
"The buried things must not be touched." Mr. Tang said with a serious face, "As long as you are still from Songshan Village and still care about your relatives at home, you must remember my words."
"Zhang Yang, Aqiu, Lihua, do you understand?"
As long as people live, how can anyone not care?
Song Qiu was thinking about her grandma, Zhang Yang was thinking about the two girls around him and others, and Zhang Lihua was thinking about the people around her and her parents.
The three of them looked at each other. Although they were still confused, they understood what Mr. Tang meant.
This is no joke, this is serious.
"I understand, Grandpa." The three of them said in unison.
"As long as you understand." Mr. Tang's eyes softened, and he looked at the three young children with kindness in his eyes.
"Go back. Remember, after you leave this door, you can't talk about anything anymore, not with anyone. Grandpa knows that you three are all smart and good children."
The three of them nodded, turned around and walked out.
After the rain stopped, when I left the village ancestral hall and met the villagers, I inevitably asked them why Mr. Tang suddenly asked them to go to the village ancestral hall.
Naturally, the three of them didn't dare to say anything more, so they just revealed it casually. When they got home, they were naturally asked about it by their family members, and they just talked about it and just said it was because they didn't go home after dark yesterday.
Mr. Tang is the former village chief, and he has endless worries. He is very kind and caring to the younger generations in the village. It is reasonable to call them to tell them not to do this again next time.
So after hearing this, Old Yuan didn't ask any more questions.
The rain stopped, but the ground was still very wet, and many things were still not possible. Song Qiu was still forced to follow Old Yuan to make clothes for a day.
From the beginning of a centipede, to the end I can barely sew anything.
Lao Yuan didn't have high requirements for her, as long as she could sew it out and wear it on her body.
The one that was made first was for Zhang Lihua. Old Yuan sent it to her in person. Everyone in the two courtyards could hear what she said. Miao looked at it with envy and said: "Aunt Yuan is really different from this girl Lihua.
"
But she didn't say anything more. She saw that the material was just ordinary coarse cotton, so that was all.
Old Mrs. Deng frowned, "Where did this girl grow up? She is just as good at playing as A Qiu."
After hearing this, Mrs. Miao said nothing more. Who told her Zaohua to be half her age?
The weather cleared up completely and the ground became dry by the morning of the next day.
Liu Caigui and his two sons came to the Song family immediately and said that the promised work could not be delayed and they should go to the Changhe River.
When Song Qiu heard this, he was naturally pleased.
Before that, early in the morning, she had gone to the mountain with a hatchet and cut down many tree trunks and branches that were needed to build a thatched shed.
At that time, Zhang Lihua still went up the mountain to pick up her mountain mushrooms.
Zhang Yang came and went without a trace, and no one was seen. But after Song Qiu came down the mountain, he came out of nowhere and came to talk to Song Qiu who was feeding the piglets.
There was no one else in the backyard at that time, so Zhang Yang spoke quietly so that no one would hear him.
"I just went to the iron pine forest and took a look. The trees we dug out earlier have all been filled in. This time, no traces can be seen at all. I guess the things are still underneath.
Moved."
"It should be four. The extra one was buried by me." Song Qiu was puzzled.
If the things under the tree were really buried by Tang Taigong, how many of them had he buried?
There's obviously an extra one, so why isn't it surprising?
Zhang Yang shook his head, "No, only those four were buried properly. The one you buried was in a different direction, behind the tree. I guess they didn't see it or move it. I have already buried the bronze bird.
I dug it out and found another place to put it."
"But the current situation, since Grandpa said it is related to the lives of the whole village, so I plan to go back and recover first, and check around the Fifth Master to find out what this bronze bird does. Once I know it clearly in my heart, I will decide whether to do it or not.
Late."
Song Qiu listened and thought that although it was dark at the time, she vaguely remembered that Zhang Yang was facing them when he dug the tree, not in the same direction.
At that time, she buried it casually. Although it was also buried under the pine tree, the location was different.
So when Tang Taigong went to investigate, he only noticed that the four he had buried had been touched, and did not see the others.
Thinking of this, Song Qiu's eyes couldn't help but become weird again. Tang Taigong was so old and had to use a cane to walk. How could he really jump up and down the mountain to dig any soil or bury any hole?
It just seemed like they had done something about it.
This is really strange.
"Okay, then you have to pay attention to your own safety when you go back. Don't reveal anything to make Master Hong suspect you."
"By the way, if I didn't find anything, will it be okay if you go back empty-handed?" Song Qiu couldn't help but worry again.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen. I know it well. You don't have to worry about me."
"Aqiu."
"Huh?" Song Qiu turned his head and looked over, subconsciously moving his eyes an inch to the side.
The boy's eyes were so hot that she was really afraid that he would say something that would choke her next time.
Zhang Yang called someone, but didn't say anything. After a long silence, he grinned and said, "I'll be leaving in a moment. You have to take care of yourself."
Song Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and Zhang Yang jumped out of the backyard.
At this time, Liu Caigui and his son came to find him. Song Qiu asked people to help carry the thatch onto the mule cart, and drove the cart to the Changhe official road outside.
