Chapter 172

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

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

That happened in the 30s and [-]s. Although the old lady was not born that year, she had heard about this historical event after she married into Shuangtang Village, and it is the closest to that historical event in Shuangtang Village today. people.

Gouli's country lives and dies, how can it be avoided due to misfortune and good fortune?
At that time, there were not many households in Shuangtang Village, [-] to [-] households, and a total of [-] young and strong men went out with enthusiasm, but none of them came back.

More than half of the families in the village are only women and children, the old and the weak, hopelessly, but what is desperate is that in one year, two years, three years, four years, ten years and 20 years, no one is born, no dead body is seen, and there is not even one person who comes back with a letter nothing.

Among the fourteen people, there were fathers and sons, as well as brothers, and some families were broken because of this.

Whether to set up spirits in the ancestral hall for them to enjoy the incense of future generations, to comfort the spirits in heaven, so as to prevent them from becoming lonely ghosts.At that time, this issue was very noisy. Some people had already accepted the worst result, but many people had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

But as time passed year by year, more and more people gradually accepted it, but because their lives and deaths were unknown, and the environment dictated it, they could only hide their spiritual seats in the back room.

It was also because they could not come back that Shuangtang Village also ushered in the darkest period of time.

In that turbulent, smoky, and precarious society, after some families in the village were broken up, and some families were left with only women, children, old and weak, some people began to think of going extinct, not only the villagers, but also those from other villages. people, and even collusion inside and outside the village.

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

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

Fortunately, during the period from the birth of Grandpa Su Qinghe to the age of seven or eight, the village was relatively peaceful, so he was able to grow up safely.But also because there are only orphans and widows in the family, they are often bullied by others.

When eating in the village became famous, Grandpa Su Qinghe gave money and food, and sent Grandpa Su Qinghe to an old Chinese doctor a few miles away, so that Grandpa Su Qinghe could avoid disasters in the village and learn a lot. A knack for making a living.

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

But after this catastrophe, only three of the eight families who went out to carry guns and fight at the beginning still have incense left.

These things were either told by the old man to the old lady, or the old lady heard it from Su Qinghe's mother-in-law.

Now that time has passed, this period of village history that was once full of turmoil has also been quietly covered up by the long river of time in the cryptic words of the older generation.

Sitting beside the old lady, Su Qinghe listened to every word, but his heart was full of grief and indignation, but he couldn't express his feelings.

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

He can even say that he grew up in a beautiful and perfect environment, and because of this, from his father's generation to his generation, his 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 the Mingming Temple House is not located in Shuangtang Village, but the club is named after Shuangtang.

Bai Zhi was also listening. She didn't care about the changes in Shuangtang Village. She only knew that the fourteen people who died came from eight families, but five families lost their incense lineage.

Such a sad thing should not have happened to them; their glorious deeds should not be covered up; their spiritual tablets should be posted in the outer room to be admired by future generations, instead of being hidden in the inner room of the ancestral hall.

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

The old lady sighed again, "People who do evil will not agree. Being able to stand up in the back room is already the best result of a compromise between the two parties. Too tough will only backfire. Especially at the time when the environment was overcorrected, No one cares how they died, they only know that they are not a boss, and if they make it public rashly, it will only cause trouble."

Bai Zhi opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

But Su Qinghe said, "Grandmother, it's been so long now, the group of people who did evil back then are gone, right?"

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

"It is enough for descendants to provide them with a share of incense. No matter whether it is in the inner room or the outer room, it is just the ancestral hall. If they are invited out, then some people will be nailed to the pillar of shame. How about Shuangtang Village? It’s easy to have the current situation of unity, so why bother to create a gap? Thinking about their spirits in the sky, they don’t want to see such a thing happen again.”

What the old lady said made Su Qinghe mixed feelings again. He didn't know if the current situation was the best result, but he felt very uncomfortable, but he also felt that what the old lady said had some truth.

"Okay, I'll tell you what you want to know, don't think too much! It's getting late, it's time for Ah He to cook, I've been delayed for so much time, I have to play with Xiaoguai! "The old lady propped up her knees, stood up slowly, and went back into the house.

Su Qinghe and Bai Zhi met each other's eyes, Su Qinghe shook his head lightly, stood up and patted his buttocks, and walked to the kitchen.

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

I don't know what kind of battle they fought outside, and where they died.

……

Su Wenbiao is here.

Wearing a school uniform, carrying a schoolbag, and slapping a basketball, he walked into Su Qinghe's house.

The high school he attended was in the county, and it was also one of the best centuries-old schools in the entire industry and in the city.

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

Su Wenbiao nodded and looked at Su Xiaoting, "Tingting, I put the basketball here for you, you can play it as well."

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 turned back and took out the basketball.

Once the holiday is over, Su Xiaoting can only play with Xiaoguaiguai in the village. Putting the basketball here with her can relieve her boredom.

After handing over the basketball to Su Xiaoting, Su Wenbiao left, and the old lady didn't keep her. After all, going to school is important, and Su Wenbiao had to wait for the bus.

"Sister, look at me!" After Su Wenbiao left, Su Xiaoting patted a basketball in the room, showing off her skills to Xiaoguai.

Seeing this big and round thing bouncing around and making bang bang sounds, the little guy immediately became interested...

 Let’s just this chapter tonight. I’ve had a pain in my spine and tail for almost a week, and I can’t sit still. It took me almost four hours to code this chapter. I sat and stood, and I wanted to lie down.
