Chapter 517: The Baby in the Ancestral Hall

Chapter 517 The Baby in the Ancestral Hall

"They finally got together. In the third year they entered the village, on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Although it was your aunt who married, that man knew the rules in our village and offered to hold the banquet at our place first. After that they Go back and do it again with their relatives and friends over there."

Grandpa Wu paused when he said this, his expression gloomy.

Wu Chi noticed the strangeness of Grandpa Wu, and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa?"

"Let me talk about it." Wu Yan took a deep breath, and took the initiative to take over the conversation, "It happened on the day of their wedding. There were lights and festoons in the village that day. Your aunt is cheerful and popular, and that man is used to being a man. No For sure, I came here often to look for your aunt in the past two years, and I became acquainted with many people in the village. Everyone is very happy when they get married."

"Because of this, nine out of ten people in the village attended the wedding banquet that day, even the people in charge of guarding the ancestral hall."

Hearing this, not only Wu Chi, but also Ye Wanxi and the others who were guarding the room and watching everything through the paper dolls were stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Shi Yuyan inquiringly.

Ancestral hall? That ancestral hall where you knelt last night? baby in the shrine

Wu Chi obviously also had doubts about this, and frowned, "The people from the ancestral hall have also come, then..."

"At that time, our ancestral hall was not as big and solid as it is now. It was just a relatively ordinary small room. A few people were specially assigned to guard it, and there was no rotation. That night, the National People's Congress in charge of guarding the place Some of them ran to the banquet, leaving only the two people who had gathered in advance to guard."

"After the worship, everyone's attention was on the banquet. The bride was sent to the bridal chamber early. After the toast, everyone thought the groom was in a hurry to see the bride and left early. But he didn't want to. He didn't go at all. Instead of looking for your aunt,... went to the ancestral hall."

Wu Chi was stunned: "What did he go to the ancestral hall for?"

"Of course it's because there's something he wants in there."

"what?"

Wu Yan sighed: "We only heard about this later. I don't know when there was a rumor outside, saying that there is a treasure in our ancestral hall that can make people reborn and live forever. With this treasure, you can think about it." If things come to fruition, wealth can rival a country."

The people standing next to the little paper figurines were a little dumbfounded when they heard this, and Shi Yuyan couldn't help complaining: "What kind of rumors are these? They are reborn and immortal. In ancient times, there were so many emperors who pursued immortality. Which one?" Didn't they die earlier than anyone else, are those who believe in this a fool?"

Everyone thought so, but couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat.

There are many rational people in this world, but there are also many irrational people.

Even though reason tells them that this is impossible, as long as such rumors spread, some people will definitely believe and act on it.

At such a young age, Wu Chi really never thought that such a rare thing was hidden in the ancestral hall of his family. He was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of what Grandpa Wu said just now, and he immediately realized it.

"He came here for the treasure of the ancestral hall? His purpose of approaching my aunt from the beginning was not pure. He was only with my aunt for a game, and he was not sincere at all."

"Ok."

"Bastard!" Wu Chi was only two or three years old back then, and he couldn't even remember his aunt, and he had no memory of this rumored man for a long time.

But hearing what the two said, I still couldn't stop the raging anger in my heart, wishing I could tear him apart.

"He sneaked into the ancestral hall while the banquet was busy, and searched for things. Of course, he found nothing, but in the process of searching, he accidentally made a noise, and was suddenly caught by the guards outside. Found it. In desperation, he pushed down the candles in the ancestral hall."

Wu Chi's expression changed slightly. Everyone in the village knew that the reason why the ancestral hall was so important to them was not only that there were tablets of their ancestors in the past, but also because there were buried under it. Many Gu worms.

As soon as Wu Yan saw his son's expression,

I knew that he had already guessed the truth of the matter: "The candle ignited the curtain inside the ancestral hall, and the fire burned quickly. At that time, there were too few people guarding outside, and one of them ran to chase the man, and the rest That one wanted to put out the fire, but the fire in the house spread quickly. By the time we found out that something was wrong, it was too late."

"The fire above the ancestral hall was too strong, awakening the sleeping Gu worms, and the burning pain from the fire made them lose control collectively."

Among the people present, except for Wu Chi, all of them have experienced what happened back then.

After so many years, recalling the scene at that time, many people's faces are still pale.

"That scene at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a purgatory on earth. Too many people died, even me, if Tao Wan's father hadn't come over to help me, you might be like many children in the village , became an orphan."

Unfortunately, Tao Wan's father saved him, but he couldn't save himself.

Tao Wan's mother was so sad because of this incident that she almost went with her father.

If Tao Wan's mother hadn't found out by accident a month later that she had a child, and it happened that Tao Wan's father conceived the day before the accident, she might have really left with her husband.

It's a pity, perhaps because of the depressed mood during pregnancy, Tao Wan's mother gave birth to Tao Wan prematurely and had dystocia, and she finally gave birth to the child, and she died.

Tao Wan didn't know about this, otherwise she might not have been able to be with Shi Yuyan so easily.

"That man and my aunt..."

"Your aunt didn't know about this at all until it was revealed, and the two guards confirmed the crime. Some people went to deal with those out-of-control Gu insects, and some people went to catch the bastard, but no one thought of it." , he actually put a Gu on the wine in the wedding banquet beforehand."

Wu Chi's heart moved slightly: "Golden Silkworm Gu?"

"That's right, it's the Golden Silkworm Gu."

"Auntie taught him?"

Grandpa Wu shook his head: "It should have been mentioned briefly, your aunt probably didn't expect that he would secretly raise this and use him on us."

When Wu Yan thought of the scene at that time, his face became as black as ink, and he cast Gu in the wine of the wedding banquet. If the matter hadn't been exposed too quickly, and the people in the village knew a lot about Gu, they found something strange when drinking it. It's not just that few people who died.

That bastard, this is trying to kill all of them!

"After your aunt found out about these things, she was very sad and blamed herself. She felt that all these misfortunes were caused by her, so after the truth became clear, she chose to sacrifice herself and repressed those out-of-control Gu worms. At that time... her stomach There's already a child of that bastard in here."
