Tang Qing did not allow Wang Carpenter, Wang Xinjie, Pig Killer and Damao to come to pay homage to Aunt Li, mainly because he considered the safety of Aunt Li's grave, and also wanted to say something to Li Ya alone in front of Aunt Li's grave.
Mr. Li, Tang Shatou, and Tang Qing's husband all had only grave passages, while Aunt Li left early and there was no cemetery more than 30 years ago, so she still had a separate tomb.
Aunt Li's grave was next door to the cemetery. Tang Qing took Li Ya along a path through a grove and came to a dirt bag.
"Master Jiujin, is my mother buried here?"
Li Ya looked at the dirtbag in front of her in disbelief.
A mound is a mound with lush grass and a few rocks stacked together in front of the mound to serve as tombstones.
Not only was Li Ya in disbelief when she stood in front of the dirt bag, but Tang Qing was also in disbelief when he learned that this was Aunt Li's grave.
Not to mention that this earth bag is just a small mound, the key point is that there is not even a tombstone with Aunt Li's name engraved on it, or even just a wooden board with Aunt Li's name and date of birth and death scrawled on it.
, and it can also comfort the hearts of future generations.
Tang Qing completely understood Li Ya's mood at this moment. Compared with the tall tombs around her, the mound where Aunt Li was buried was not only shabby, but also shabby.
"Liya, calm down first and let me tell you the whole story."
Tang Qing told Li Ya that there were many reasons why Aunt Li's grave was just a small mound.
At first, Aunt Li left melancholy. Mr. Li originally wanted to give her a grand burial and erect a tombstone together, and then bury her together in the name of husband and wife.
But that person, that is, Li Li, Li Ya's biological father did not agree with anything, saying that he must be buried with her after death, just like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, they could not be husband and wife during their lifetime, but they must share the same grave after death.
.
Li Li and Li Ya's grandparents, who were beating up the mandarin ducks, even said that Aunt Li, a vixen, had disturbed their family's peace during her lifetime, and she would not be allowed to have a burial place after her death.
Mr. Li finally decided to bury Aunt Li quietly and not to bury her together after her death.
Aunt Li was buried by Tang Shaotou, Tang Qing's grandfather. After Mr. Li died, he was the only one who knew where Aunt Li was buried.
In the last days of Tang Shatou's life, he took Tang Qing to Aunt Li's grave alone.
Tang Shaotou said that Mr. Li originally wanted to build a simple tombstone for Aunt Li, but he stopped Mr. Li from doing so. Aunt Li was already messy and complicated when she was alive, so let her be quiet for a while after her death.
Tang Shatou told Tang Qing that he stopped Mr. Li from erecting a tombstone for Aunt Li not only because of Li Li and Li Ya's grandparents, but also for the safety of Aunt Li's body.
Not only was Aunt Li beautiful during her lifetime, others always thought that she had saved a lot of money, and Mr. Li would definitely bury some items with her. There is no guarantee that some people would be jealous of money and come to rob Aunt Li's tomb after finding out about it.
Tang Shatou told Tang Qing that one day, when the dark clouds clear, he must let Li Li rebuild Aunt Li's tomb and erect a tombstone.
"Liya, I also want to build a tomb for Aunt Li, but I don't dare to act without authorization without knowing your life experience. Besides, if a person's tomb is to be built, a close relative must choose a good day.
To proceed, I, an outsider, cannot do that."
"Then why doesn't my sister build my mother's tomb better?"
"At the beginning, your sister didn't know her own life experience. She just wanted to find the person who bullied your mother and give your mother justice. When she came back a few days ago, I mentioned this matter to her, and she said she would wait for you.
After his biological father passes away, they will be buried together."
"My father probably doesn't have much time left."
"He has cancer?"
"The doctor said that he had been depressed all his life and drank to drown his sorrows all day long, which led to cirrhosis of the liver and liver tumors, which have spread throughout his body."
"Then you hurry back tomorrow."
"Well, I don't know if I can see you one last time, mom!"
Li Ya knelt down in front of the mound and cried bitterly.
"Liya, please keep your voice down. Outsiders still don't know this is your mother's grave."
After Tang Qing finished speaking, he stood on a small dirt bag next to him to monitor the surroundings.
Since there is a small forest in the middle, Tang Qing doesn't have to worry about Wang Carpenter, Wang Xinjie, Pig Killer, Da Mao and Shibawei who are on the other side of the cemetery. What she needs to pay attention to is whether anyone is coming nearby.
Fortunately, after Li Ya paid homage, no one appeared around.
Tang Qing cleaned up the candles and incense ashes, buried the paper money ashes next to Aunt Li's grave, and restored it to its original state.
Before leaving, Tang Qing deliberately sprinkled some dust in front of Aunt Li's grave. Then he and Li Ya went to an unnamed tomb in the distance to make some footprints, and relit a pair of candles and three sticks of incense.
It goes out and stays there.
"Master Jiujin, I slept in front of my parents' graves."
"I also dreamed that my parents were talking to me, saying that when I give birth to my son, I must hold him for them to see."
By the time Tang Qing and Li Ya returned to the cemetery exit, Butcher and Da Mao were already waiting impatiently. They did not dare to openly blame Tang Qing and Li Ya for taking such a long time to pay homage to Aunt Li.
"Isn't this better? Let you and your parents stay a little longer. Where are Master Wang and Xinjie? And that stinky Shiba Pi, have they gone back first?"
"Master Wang and Xinjie are going to pay homage to their husband's tomb."
"Why don't you go?"
"I don't dare to go."
"I don't dare to go either."
Butcher and Da Mao answered in a low voice.
"Why don't you dare to go?"
"I'm afraid he will get up and beat us."
"We were ungrateful and ignored you some time ago. Maybe he saw it. What if he gets angry and gets up and beats us?"
"You don't need him to hit you, I'll hit you now!"
Tang Qing raised the dead branch high.
"Master Jiujin, don't be angry, we are going to worship now."
"We're going now, we're going now."
"Would you like to go there? You guys call Master Wang, Xinjie, and Shibazu, and Li Ya and I will walk down slowly first."
Tang Qing and Li Ya walked out of the cemetery side by side.
"Master Jiujin, why are these grown men afraid of you?"
"You mean women are afraid of me?"
"Isn't it?"
"Then it seems that I am an evil spirit and a great witch."
"Master Jiujin, you are possessed by Vajra, an immortal descended to earth."
"Haha, you know that too?"
"Master Jiujin, are you really possessed by Vajra and an immortal descended to earth?"
"When it's cooked, add Carpenter Wang to braise it, and your sister to stir-fry it, everyone in Yan City will want to take a bite of it."
"Isn't Master Wang a carpenter? My sister doesn't know how to cook?"
"If you have a chance, ask your sister how she fired me."
"Well, I'll ask her right away when I get back."
"Liya, have you never been out before? This is your first time out of home in Yancheng?"
"Master Jiujin, how did you know? Did my sister tell you?"
"She didn't have time to tell me this. I guessed it from your words and actions."
"Master Jiujin, did I say something wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
"Your appearance is almost exactly the same as your sister, but your mind is at the opposite extreme of hers."
"How about two extremes?"
"You are simple and she is complicated."
"Master Jiujin, why am I so naive?"
"You are as simple as a blank piece of paper, so you can do whatever Li Zhen asks you to do."
"Master Jiujin, I really didn't know that what my brother did was so bad and bad. He told me that he was researching magical potions to benefit the people of Shancheng for our father."
"Liya, I believe you, can I ask you a personal question?"
"Master Jiujin, you ask, my sister said that if my father leaves, then you will be the only relative we have."
"Isn't your brother a relative of yours?"
"My father said he didn't deserve it, and my sister also said he didn't deserve it. As for why? I don't know. I asked several times, but they didn't tell me."
"Liya, has your father always kept you by his side? He didn't know you came to Yancheng this time?"
"Master Jiujin, are you really possessed by King Kong? Are you an immortal descending to earth? You know everything. This time I was kidnapped by him in a coma!"
