There is also spring for passers-by

There was no response. She opened the porcelain bottle and the golden aura immediately disappeared.

She immediately discovered that she could no longer sense the space inside her body. She could sense the mortal realm before, but now she couldn't sense anything at all.

What was going on? This was a place to throw away after use. Fortunately, after entering, she discovered that she could see the spiritual realm inside. She even took a mortal ring, strung it with a rope, and hung it around her neck. If she hadn't acted quickly, she wouldn't have been able to use the space. Although it was a little small, it was better than nothing. It seemed that her earlier premonition was correct. Fortunately, she had moved a batch of things she needed.

Wen Wan helped the girl who had fainted on the ground to sit on a chair, filled the thermos on the table in the main room with hot water, and put a few candies on the table.

Halfway up the mountain, in front of Ji Meiyun’s tomb.

This grave was chosen randomly by the villagers. Because he died from drinking pesticides, he was buried halfway up the mountain.

Hu Ping found a few villagers to help dig the grave.

Taoist Zhang was muttering something, performing rituals, lighting incense and candles, and glancing at Wen Wan from time to time.

Wen Wan is very sad now. Her mind is full of images of the original owner and her grandmother relying on each other. Her grandmother would take her with her when she went to work. Since she can remember, there have been many beautiful brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts around her. They all like the original owner very much and buy delicious food for her.

They affectionately called the original owner "Little Poplar".

Grandma was wrapped in a torn bamboo mat. The mat had already rotted away, and inside it were only rotten clothes and a skeleton. Bai Yang's throat and stomach were all black and gray, the color of poisoning.

Wen Wan gave twenty yuan to each of the three villagers who helped dig the grave. After all, not everyone is willing to dig a grave.

Hu Ping was unwilling to accept the money. After the two men left, he begged, "Master, you still haven't told me what happened to my mother's grave?"

"That feng shui point is good for girls. You have four daughters, but you want a son..."

"Are you saying that the feng shui of my mother's burial place is bad, and it will affect my luck in having children, so I can only have daughters and not sons?"

In rural areas, not having a son will be considered as having no descendants.

How is this possible? The couple already have four daughters and just want a son.

Wen Wan said, "Acupuncture points that are good for daughters are rare. If you don't move the grave, your four daughters will become more successful than the last. If you move the grave, you'll have a son, but your four daughters will become mediocre. Think it over for yourself. Once you've made up your mind, go ahead and do it. We're going to perform the ritual!"

Not far away, Hu Buduan was looking around furtively and hiding behind a haystack. When he found that Wen Wan saw him, he quickly hid.

Wen Wan didn't want to pay attention, but there was always a fly flying around, which really affected her mood.

After Taoist Zhang finished the ritual, several people put Ji Meiyu's bones together, poured gasoline on them and set them on fire.

Mother Qiu kept nagging: "Aunt Ji, you can go with peace of mind. Old Qiu and I will help you take care of Xiao Baiyang. Xiao Baiyang is very hardworking. She was admitted to the Beijing Art College and is now a sophomore."

"Teacher, Han Changqing is here to see you. Thank you so much for protecting us back then. You sent us away before we were targeted, but you are gone forever. Teacher, we all miss you so much..."

Uncle Han cried, thinking about how he was a fifteen-year-old boy. Just because he was good-looking and liked to make exaggerated expressions, he was chosen by the art troupe. After joining the troupe, the teachers taught him to dance, sing, and act, which enabled him to become a movie actor and have the opportunity to film.

Wen Wan knelt on the ground, burning paper money, "Grandma, have a safe journey. It's been nine years since you left! I'm late, I'll take you home! I know someone murdered you, don't worry, that person will get his comeuppance."

Hu Buduan had always been worried that his poisoning would be exposed, but when they dug up the bones and had no suspicions, he felt relieved.

A woman of about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old came down from the mountain, carrying a full basket of firewood. The huge basket made her look thin and frail.

Wen Wan could tell at a glance that this woman was Hu Buduan's second daughter-in-law.

She approached the woman: "You are almost three months pregnant."

The woman looked horrified. Her husband had been dead for more than a year. How would she live her life if this got out?

Wen Wan continued, "Your beloved has gone to the Frontier Corps. He's doing well there now and is now the deputy commander. He was planning to marry a widowed soldier, but when he heard your husband had died, he became hopeful again. I'll give you the address and three hundred yuan. You can bring your household registration certificate and your daughter to find him."

The woman was very confused, "Why...why are you helping me?"

"If I don't help you, you'll take your daughter and die with your enemy. My grandmother saw that beast abusing a female educated youth, and he killed her to silence her and then fed her pesticide. I only hope that you will report him and tell the police about his evil deeds.

Send him to jail.

Your lover is a good man and a true hero. He can marry other widowed military wives and will accept you and your daughter. Even if he knows about your past, he knows that you are protecting his mother, brother, and sister, and he will only feel sorry for you and be grateful to you.

After you reunite with him, tell him the truth about everything you have done for him and his family.

Live with him steadily.

You and him are destined to be together. Live the rest of your life for yourself and your loved one."

She pulled out a stack of large unity notes and handed it to the woman. She then took out a small notebook from her bag and quickly wrote down the address: "You must meet your beloved within two months. Otherwise, you will rot in the mire for the rest of your life, living the most miserable life, and even bring disaster upon your daughter."

After she finished speaking, she turned back to her grandmother's grave and watched her grandmother's bones turn into ashes. In fact, after burning, they were just bones.

Taoist Zhang helped her put the bones and ashes into the jar.

The group returned to Sangzhou Guesthouse and prepared to take the train back to Beijing early tomorrow morning.

That night, some police officers came over and said they wanted to find out some information.

The topic they asked was whether Ji Meiyu's body showed signs of poisoning.

Uncle Han and Mother Qiu answered the questions truthfully.

The police told them, "Hu Buduan from Hujia Village was reported by his daughter-in-law. They accused him of being a hooligan, raping her, and impregnating her. Furthermore, during the Ten-Year Movement, Hu Buduan killed four female educated youth. He forced them to drink pesticides, eat rat poison, or jump into the river to their deaths because they could not bear the humiliation."

A woman who married into Hujia Village came forward to testify to the story, saying that she had been so hastily married to a local villager because Hu Buduan had been a hooligan. Once, he asked her to cut Artemisia annua, but he had his children lead her to a cave in the back mountains. Just as Hu Buduan was about to succeed, he was caught by Ji Meiyun, who had come out to work. Ji Meiyun picked up a stick and chased him away, but when Ji Meiyun and the female educated youth were leaving the mountain later, Hu Buduan returned.
