The ancestral graves of their Wu family are actually on the back mountain opposite. The mountain is immediately adjacent to the scenic area. There are many small slopes on the mountain, and they are all densely packed with the ancestral graves of local people.
Because that location has great development potential, the government once said it would plan it, but the locals are firmly opposed to it. How can it be planned?
So after many twists and turns, I had no choice but to leave the mountain desolate and turn it into a private cemetery.
The two villages in this mountain used to be inaccessible to the outside world, and almost no locals left the village, so the graveyards of local ancestors are almost completely preserved.
It is said that the ancestral tombs here can be found as far back as the two Jin Dynasties, which are very ancient.
The reason why they chose night was because they tried their best not to encounter anyone, hoping to quickly go up the mountain and dig out the body quickly.
Don't shock anyone, and try not to cause conflicts among the people around you...
In order to avoid trouble, Chen Zhi and the others did not even dare to turn on the lights along the way, so they took advantage of the moonlight in the sky and sneaked up the mountain along the remote path behind them.
This road is not accessible to ordinary people. This is a real rural cemetery. As soon as we walked halfway up the mountain, we saw numerous tombs surrounding it.
There are basically tombstones erected in front of the grave, with photos printed on them. There are also tributes from local people and unburned paper money in front of the grave. It looks eerie in the moonlight, as if the dead underground can emerge from the grave at any time.
It's like crawling out.
This was the first time for Liu Baobao to be exposed to this kind of thing. He followed behind with a shovel in his arms and his calves were so frightened that he kept humming.
"Oh! Did you count?
Came here in the middle of the night.
This..., there won't be any female ghosts in this place, right?
Do you need me to pee first? I..., I'm still a child!"
Fat Wei was amused by his words.
"Old Liu, I didn't realize that you are still a natural tease!
Don't brag to us, you are still a child at your age?
If it's true, you are more precious than that female ghost and could be sent to a museum..."
While they were talking quietly here, Wu Hua was walking in front of them.
Wu Hua looked different from them. Ever since she came up the mountain, her face had been extremely serious, her lips were biting tightly, she was holding a spade and a pickaxe in her hand, and her eyes were looking around vigilantly, as if she was going to follow someone at any moment.
It's like fighting a battle.
"Is it necessary to be so nervous?" Chen Zhi followed behind and asked softly.
"you do not know!",
Wu Hua still held it and said:
"Our village is very particular, and there are often true filial sons who come to mourn at night.
Everyone in the village keeps kissing each other. In their eyes, I am just a woman who will get married sooner or later.
It’s just that no one found out about this. If they knew about it, it would be a big deal!
Let's move faster and try to get it done within an hour. We must not be discovered by them, otherwise we will start a big fight..."
As they talked, they quickly went up the mountain along a path, and arrived at the area on the east side of the mountain, where is the ancestral grave of the Wu family.
This is a relatively secluded place. In a depression in the mountain col, there are many tombs standing there.
Wu Hua first walked to a grave, placed the bowls of offerings he had brought with him, and then kowtowed twice.
Chen Zhi saw a photo on the tombstone. It showed a woman in her thirties. She knew at a glance that she was Wu Hua's mother.
In front are the graves of Wu Hua's father, her grandparents, and various relatives in the family.
Wu Hua roughly kowtowed a few times, then clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and muttered a few words, probably asking the elders to forgive him for his behavior today.
Then he waved to Chen Zhi and the others and led them deeper.
I walked very deep along these tombs, and the tombs inside were already extremely old.
The words on some tombstones are not deeply engraved, and many are almost invisible due to weather and rain.
At this time, I heard Wu Hua say to everyone:
"Look around, these are all old graves.
As a girl, I rarely let people visit graves.
There has been no construction work in these years, and I don't know who these people are. You can look for them by comparing their names and see if you can find them.
This is really a big project. In the following time, everyone used flashlights to compare the names on the tombstones and look for them one by one.
This job scared Liu Baobao half to death. The ancient tombs seemed to be hiding ghosts. It was really difficult for him to read the words with his face pressed against his face.
Moreover, ancient Chinese characters are very different from modern characters, and the words are almost turned into black holes due to wind and rain, so it is extremely difficult to read.
After wandering around here for a long time, they realized that these ancient tombs were nothing, and all their efforts were in vain.
But just when everyone was dejected, Pangwei still had the ability to knock out a hidden hole at the bottom of the mountain col.
The so-called dark cave actually means dark grave.
There are no tombstones or grave mounds in the dark cave, but there is something inside, just like a cellar hidden underground.
For some reason, some people are afraid that their gravesite will be known to others, or they are afraid of people seeking revenge, so they make their graveyards into hidden caves.
Military generals who committed numerous murders during their lifetimes did this more often, but common people generally rarely saw it.
However, the location of the hidden cave is very particular. It should not be too conspicuous for others to see, and water should not get into it.
Generally, it is covered with a stone cover and covered with soil. After two years, grass will still grow on it. As time goes by, no difference will be seen. No matter how hidden the location is, few people can find it.
After Fat Wei determined the position, he put in a stick and explored the depth, then nodded to Chen Zhi.
Several people rolled up their sleeves and peeled off the top layer of soil together, and soon discovered that it was indeed a stone cover!
The stone cover was quite large. After prying it up, I found that there was actually a rather large tomb inside.
Although it is not a large cemetery, it is estimated to be several hundred square meters inside, which is really rare among ordinary people.
Several people immediately jumped down and turned on their flashlights to shine inside.
The layout inside is very clear. After passing through a partition, there is a large space inside.
There are several coffins in the space, and there are tombstones in front of them. They are all fine fir coffins, which are valuable and will last for thousands of years!
Even now it looks like there isn't much damage.
But the strange thing is that one of these coffins is a large stone coffin. The coffin is extremely huge and the exterior is very ornately carved. Even the coffins of princes, generals and ministers cannot compare.
It can be seen that his status is extremely high.
This coffin was placed in the middle of all the coffins, and the corresponding stone tablet had a female name written on it.
