There was also a very complicated feeling. I couldn't say what it was.

After a long while, we calmed down and went back to business.

”Grandma, do you know what is buried under this willow tree?”

Lin Dan's eyes were fixated on his grandmother, as though she was afraid that she would miss any of her expression.

”Under the willow tree?” Grandma frowned and murmured, then began to ponder. After about five minutes, her grandma's expression suddenly changed, ”Could it be …”

”What grandma?” Seeing my grandmother's reaction, Lin Dan and I also became nervous.

Grandma calmed down a little, then began to tell us slowly.

”This!” It was my grandmother's mother who told me about it, and then she told me that this place used to be a cemetery, and it was a terrible place to die. In some places, a mass grave was dug, and thousands of people were buried alive under it. ”

When Grandma said this, her face was full of lingering fear. It was as if she had experienced it for herself.

Grandma's tone paused for a moment, and then she continued, ”Later on, reform and opening-up were carried out, land reform was carried out, and the land was privately owned. Then my grandma's generation of people were assigned land here, and at that time, the graves here had already been dug up, even if some bones were dug out, they wouldn't take it seriously. They would just dig them out, throw them away or burn them, and some would just take them home for their children to play with!”

Her grandmother was worried that Lin Dan wouldn't understand her, so her tone of voice became more gentle, and she tried her best to describe the things that Lin Dan did not understand.

Speaking of this matter, I have some influence over it.

He remembered when he was young, when he was building roads in the village, he dug out many people's bones from the ground. He remembered when he was young, he had dug out many people's bones from the ground.

What I remember most clearly is that one of my aunts had put a piece of bone in her pocket and brought it home to find out that she had been very ill ever since.

Seeing that he was about to die, someone suggested to invite a mage over. After all, he was still young.

But since then my aunt has been all right, and she's still alive.

I didn't interrupt my grandma to let her continue.

Later on, there was a Taoist priest in the village with a long white beard who carried a floating dust in his hand. He looked at the terrain of the village and made a calculation by pinching his fingers.

He sighed twice.

He said straightforwardly, ”Everything is related to karma, and debts have to be paid. I was lucky enough to hide away for three generations, so I'm not immune to any of the younger generation's debts!” After he finished speaking, he sighed once again and took out a jade pendant to give to the village chief of the older generation. He told him to find a place to bury it and to temporarily suppress the evil being below the ground.

Then she shook her head and told us this story, which she had always thought was a village story, that had little entertainment and no books to read, that could be passed down for generations without getting tired of it.

What old Taoist, he should have been made up by the villagers, the jade pendant shouldn't be real, and even if it is, it has been so many years, it has nothing to do with this willow tree ah.

The old elder shouldn't have buried such an important jade pendant under the willow tree in our house, right?

According to her grandma, this house was built later on. At that time, there was no willow tree here, no, it was more accurate to call it a willow tree stump.
