Chapter 27 Ancestral Tombs
Ma Jun nodded again. When I heard this, I hurriedly turned around and walked back, "My second uncle came here a few days ago?"
Ma Jun didn't say anything, but nodded. I suddenly felt angry, "What the hell is this old man doing? Since he is not dead, why should he hide!"
Yuanxiao raised her hand and told me not to be excited. I turned to Ma Jun and said, "How did you know my second uncle?"
Ma Jun finished smoking the cigarette in his hand in a few sips, put the cigarette butt on the ground and twisted it hard with his feet, "My second brother gave me some food and gave me medicine. He is a good person!"
Then I realized that the second uncle was not just giving Ma Jun medicine, but it turned out that the second uncle was still helping him. Yuanxiao asked, "What about the rest of your family?"
Ma Jun laughed madly again, "Die! It's gone! It's gone!"
Yuanxiao sighed and said to me, "This is also a pitiful person! Your second uncle is so kind!" I smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect my second uncle to do such a thing."
Yuanxiao tskated and said, "But your second uncle has found a reliable helper for himself."
I asked, "What do you mean?"
Yuanxiao pointed at Ma Jun, "You said that he was like this. If you helped your second uncle do something, even if you were discovered, who would have thought that a madman was instructed, and even if Ma Jun said anything, who would have believed a madman's words? If we hadn't met us today, the second uncle would have never been exposed."
I nodded and had to admit that what Yuanxiao said made sense. But I always felt that there were other reasons here. I couldn't help but remember the incident that my second uncle told me about Ma Jun and the others back then...
I looked at Ma Jun's eyes, wondering if it was because I had just smoked a cigarette, nicotine seemed to stimulate his nerves, and Ma Jun's eyes no longer seemed to be as turbid as before, so I tried to ask, "Uncle Ma, did you serve in the army in western Gansu back then?"
The horse army suddenly stood at attention, "The soldiers of the fifth squad of the Third Company of the Engineer Soldiers of the Northwest XXX Military Region came to report!" After that, he squatted and leaned against the tree again.
I was startled by his sudden outrage, then calmed down and continued to ask: "Then have you been on a mission before you retired from the army and went to Qilian Mountain?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Ma Jun immediately lowered his head. I found that his hands were tightly clamped together. It was obvious that he used a lot of strength, and his bones and joints were clenched a little white. It seemed that in his heart, he was extremely entangled in something.
I waited for a long time and didn't get a answer from Ma Jun. This made me feel a little anxious, and I felt that it was getting late at this time and I couldn't waste too much time here anymore. So I was about to ask the last question I wanted to ask, of course, it was also the question I wanted to figure out the most.
I think if I could get the answer to this question, maybe I could touch the heart of the truth of the whole thing!
I got closer to the Ma Jun and asked word by word: "What did you see in the car when you were carrying out your mission?"
After saying these words, I obviously saw the horse army trembling suddenly, and he didn't say anything for a long time, but I found that his breathing began to become rapid, like a bull ready to go.
Yuanxiao felt something was wrong, so he reached out and pulled me, then took a few steps back. Suddenly, Ma Jun shouted loudly and jumped up. We were so scared by his sudden movement that we felt tight. We were about to start a melee fight, but we didn't expect to beat Ma Jun and then ran up the mountain.
Yuanxiao and I were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, "Chasing!"
So the three of us started the second round of pursuit. Although the bitter northwest wind was getting heavier, the three of us were completely cold at this time, sweating all over, and there was heat on our heads.
Although the horse army was not mentally normal, it was very physically strong, as clever as apes, running rapidly in the woods. Yuanxiao and I tried our best to keep up, and from time to time, we were hung up by branches. A long blood mark was accidentally drawn on my forehead by a stretched branch.
I grinned in pain and sucked in a cold air, but I didn't dare to slow down. The figure of the horse army in front was getting blurry in our sight. Fortunately, I could still hear his voice, so we were not thrown away by him.
The horse army went up the mountain road. The Turtle-Brow Mountain was not actually high. In addition, we had already reached a distance before, so this run was basically about to reach the top of the mountain.
I knew that my family's ancestral tomb was located near the east side of the mountain. It was already very close to it. I was thinking in my mind that since we were about to reach our original destination, if the horse army crossed the mountain and ran down a while, should we chase it?
I was thinking, and suddenly I saw Ma Jun turn and run straight to the east. The direction he was heading was the location of my ancestral tomb! I felt a move in my heart. In this misleading skill, Ma Jun's figure, which was originally hidden in front of us, disappeared completely. I could only rely on my hearing to find his position.
Lantern Festival was behind me, so tired that I was out of breath and my face was flushed, but I still refused to give up, cursing and looking like I was about to fight to the end.
We followed the sound and walked around a few trees. Suddenly, something tripped under my feet. I almost fell to the ground, staggered for a few steps before barely stabilizing my body.
And just then, I also found that the sound of the footsteps of the Ma Jun that had just appeared in front of me could not sense at this time.
I couldn't help but stop, Yuanxiao followed and asked breathlessly: "How is it? Why did you stop?"
I looked around, "I'm lost, I can't hear him!"
Yuanxiao said excitedly, "You are so tired and stupid. Without your radar ears, you won't chase you anymore, right? He can't fly anymore, right! Hurry up, continue chasing forward!" As he said that, he pushed me and continued to chase forward on his own. I took a few breaths and followed quickly.
We didn't run a few steps forward and found that there was a forest ahead. There was an open space outside the woods, and there were many graves neatly standing on the open space. I stood outside the woods and recognized it at a glance. This was clearly my ancestral tomb!
We quickly checked around. The open space was quite large, and the horse was flat and unobstructed. It was clear at a glance. If the horse army was still running, we would definitely find him immediately.
But after we carefully searched, we did not find any signs of Ma Jun. Yuanxiao came over and said softly, "Can you hide it in this cemetery?"
I nodded, "It's true that this is possible!"
Yuanxiao turned on the flashlight in his hand, "How about it, do you dare to go to the cemetery in the middle of the night to look for it?"
I sneered, "Dare you, what's the point of not being afraid of this? This is my family's ancestral tomb!"
"Ah?" Yuanxiao smiled, "That's even more okay, it's not an outsider!" As he said that, he walked in first. I also turned on the flashlight and followed Yuanxiao in.
Our Zhuo family has been operating here for a hundred years and has a prosperous population. In addition, some of the same clans have moved in from time to time, the scale of this cemetery is really big, and there are many graves, and the sizes are even different. When you look at the graves that are neatly cultivated and clean around them, they must have their descendants. Every year, people come to visit the graves, and some graves are even converted into cement or stone.
Some graves are low and overgrown with weeds, and they must be the family and no one follows.
Yuanxiao and I each held up flashlights and wandered through it. Although I kept silently reciting in my heart: This is my ancestral tomb! The tombs are buried with my relatives and elders! But despite this, I still felt a chill on my back, and even the cold northwest wind seemed to be mixed with some gloomy aura.
Yuanxiao and I walked around the cemetery separately, but we didn't find anything. Could it be that the Ma Jun disappeared out of thin air?
I looked at the Lantern Festival that was walking towards me, and the latter also spread his hands at me, indicating that he didn't notice it. This made me sigh lightly.
Yuanxiao scratched her head and complained, "There are too many dead people in your family! I can't stand it at all!"
I raised my leg and kicked Yuanxiao, "Fuck! There are only a lot of people in your family! Can you speak human language?"
Yuanxiao raised his hands and said, "The tongue is wrong!! I mean there are many graves, you can understand the spirit!"
I waited for him and ignored him.
Lantern Festival raised her eyes and watched, "What should I do next? Let's not worry about that lunatic. We should do whatever we should do, it's all here!"
I nodded and had to do this first.
Yuanxiao raised his flashlight and shone it on the surrounding graves, "Hey, which one belongs to your grandfather?"
I took the photo, pointed to one of them and said, "That should be!" As I said that, I walked over with Lanxiao.
Although my grandfather’s grave is not made of cement or stone, it is still tall and upright. However, this is all due to my father and my second uncle, and I think my second uncle may have done more.
Yuanxiao squatted on the ground, illuminated the tombstone in front of the grave with a flashlight, and chanted softly: "Mr. Zhuo was famous for his appearance in Yunshan Jun's Mansion and gave birth to the lotus position in the west." In a short inscription, Yuanxiao was stuttering. After reading it, he turned to look at me, "What do these mean at this moment? I basically can't understand my own. Is this your grandfather's tombstone?"
I nodded, "Lanxiao, you are still known as the small earth rake of the new era! Let the traditional culture aside first, as a fighter, but you can't even understand the inscription. What a fuck you! Tell me out loud! It makes people laugh out loud when I say it!"
Yuanxiao looked at me and blinked, "Yeah, you know what you mean, do you understand?"
I smiled and said, "You gave me the word '然'. My buddy now teaches you, remember!" I stepped forward and pointed to the tombstone and said, "I see, the test here refers to the father. If it is a mother, use the word "bi". Sometimes the word "通" is also used first. If the deceased is the highest seniority in the family, then use the "通" and if it is not, use first."
