Chapter 313 People in Cigou Village
"It's my aunt." Yu Song knew it at a glance, and he spurred his horse forward a few steps. When he was almost there, he jumped off the horse, walked quickly to the wheelchair, bowed down and greeted her.
Upon seeing this, Yu Hongdou also followed, dismounted and walked closer, where she happened to make eye contact with the man who was supporting her brother.
Wow! Yu Hongdou was shocked at the time. Is this her aunt?
In her impression, her aunt should be quite pretty, after all, there was no ugly person in the Yu family.
When she really met her in person, Yu Hongdou realized how beautiful her aunt was!
"This must be Hongdou, right? This is the first time I've seen a child this big. It's all my fault that I'm not strong enough, otherwise I should have gone back to see my third sister-in-law a long time ago." Seeing his niece's astonished face, Yu Yu couldn't help but smile and hugged her in his arms.
"Hello, little auntie, you are so beautiful!" After Yu Hongdou's dazzled admiration, she accidentally glanced at her fourth cousin who was pushing a wheelchair behind her. Her eyes twitched and she almost swallowed back her words.
Looking back at Tan Yanlin, isn't it said that sons resemble their mothers? Why do all the cousins in the Cao family look exactly like my uncle and his brothers?
The cousin who was as tall as an iron tower had become darker and stronger. Of the four cousins, only the youngest cousin Cao Shu stayed in the village to lead the Cao family members. He was the only one who tied Xu Da up and ran around.
Standing next to my little cousin were two boys who looked shy but had bright eyes. You could tell at a glance that they were my cousin's children.
"Aunt, are your legs and feet feeling better? We brought some medicine from Beijing this time. You can try it first. If it works, I'll come back and do something for you." Yu Song and his little cousin patted each other's shoulders and turned to greet their little aunt.
Following her brother's words, Yu Hongdou looked at her aunt's legs and feet.
She only vaguely heard from several cousins that her aunt had a disease in her legs and feet. Her father and brother asked her to avoid this matter, so she still didn't know what disease her aunt had.
"It's nothing serious. Thank you, Third Brother, and you for taking care of me." Yu Yu's tone was very gentle, with an expression of apology and gratitude, as well as a lot of nostalgia.
These emotions were only a momentary thing, and Yu Yu soon changed the subject: "Hongdou looks more like Third Sister-in-law's mother. She will definitely be a great beauty in the future."
What a pity... Yu Yu turned his head and glanced at his son with disdain.
Yu Hongdou saw her little cousin scratching his head in confusion and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The large group behind also caught up, and Tan Yanlin also stepped forward to greet them. When he was gently examined by the beautiful Yu Yu, he straightened his body unconsciously.
Soon people from the village came to greet them. In addition to the men and women, there were also some old ladies and women and girls. They all came out and the first thing they looked for was Yu Hongdou.
Yu Hongdou felt a little scalp tingling when being stared at. Although she was an e-person, she would occasionally suffer from social anxiety when there were many people around.
Just when Yu Hongdou was about to say hello with an awkward smile, the crowd parted and an old lady supported by two people walked out from the back.
"My little benefactor, I am finally able to see you!" The old lady had white hair and wrinkles all over her face, and she looked quite old. After finding Yu Hongdou, she grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go.
"This is the village shaman, Old Lady. She is 113 years old this year and she has always wanted to meet you." Xu Da stepped forward to introduce Yu Hongdou.
"Hello, grandma~" Yu Hongdou was so surprised when she heard the number one hundred and thirteen that her jaw almost dropped.
In ancient times, if an old man lived to be over 100 years old, passers-by would have to kowtow to him.
With surprise and admiration, he held the hand that the old lady reached out to him, and greeted her with full respect and admiration.
"My little benefactor, thanks to you, otherwise this village... Hey, come with me." The old lady said halfway when she suddenly remembered that there were people around, so she pulled Yu Hongdou and walked back.
"Grandma Gu, Hongdou just arrived. Let her rest for a while. We'll come to the temple to find you later." Xu Da hurriedly stopped Grandma Gu. There was no point in wasting time to talk.
Didn’t you see that the posture of the guards behind Yu Song and the young master of the Tan family has changed?
You can't blame them. Before they even entered the village, their treasure was snatched away. Everyone would have to complain.
"Oh, look at me, I'm getting old and confused. Haha, come on, Grandma Gu will take you into the village, and I'll make you her specialty sugar dumplings later." Grandma Gu patted Yu Hongdou's hand happily to express her apology, but did not let go. Instead, she pulled her back together.
Yu Hongdou could see that Gu Li Nai should be very respected in the village. She had some good feelings for this kind old lady, so she took her arm and started chatting with her. However, after taking a few steps, she turned back and glanced at her brother and aunt.
Tan Yanlin watched the little girl follow a strange old lady so confidently, and muttered to himself that it seemed that she had to be more vigilant.
Even though she was familiar with Xu Da and the Cao family, from what she described, she had rarely seen other people in Cigou Village.
Especially this ancient grandma, if you have really seen her, you will definitely mention her.
Yu Hongdou had indeed never heard Xu Da and the uncles and cousins of the Cao family mention this old grandmother. It was said that the old grandmother was so respected and her age could be called auspicious, so she should not have been mentioned at all.
The old lady obviously knew what was bothering Yu Hongdou, and she started to explain to her as they walked.
"My birth was rather bizarre. I was born in a coffin. My mother died during childbirth. My father and his family carried the coffin all the way east, intending to bury my mother in a hollow ancient tree. Because our tribe followed the advice of our ancestors and lived in places with lush vegetation, the village shaman believed that wood spirits could help the souls of the villagers rest in peace."
The trembling voice of the ancient milkman tells of an amazing event that happened a hundred years ago.
The funeral procession entered the ancient woods in the east and successfully found the hollow ancient tree.
That ancient tree must be thousands of years old. It was struck by lightning in its early years, but it survived tenaciously. The branches of the trunk were entangled together again, and the cracked belly was "stitched" up by itself, forming a hollow groove.
The coffins used for burying people in Cigou Village are all cylindrical. They just take a piece of wood, chisel a hole in it, put the body in it, cover it, and then wrap it with yellow mud soaked in glutinous rice juice. It is then buried in a hollow tree or under the roots of some ancient trees.
The same was true for the ancient nanny's coffin, because her mother's coffin was specially made to be just the right size to fill the heart of the tree.
"My father said that when they were embedding the coffin and were about to cover the outside with a layer of yellow mud, they suddenly saw a golden light flash from under the tree and quickly spread to the hollow tree trunk. Then he heard my crying from the coffin." No one at the time would have thought that this girl who survived a disaster would live for more than a hundred years and guard a secret of the village for so many years.
Countless materials and film and television works have said this. Yu Hongdou doesn't know whether Gu Lao Nai has encountered such discrimination, but she also knows that it must have been difficult for her to survive at that time.
"Did the golden light appear again later?" When Yu Hongdou heard about the golden light, her first reaction was that it was a hat fairy. Later, she thought that if it was really a hat fairy, the villagers would have dug deep into the ground long ago.
"No, my father said it might be his eyesight that was blurry, but I know that's not the case." Gu Laonian smiled and shook her head, then looked at Yu Hongdou.
“It seems to be waiting for you.”
