"Follow her."
"Perhaps the origin of Waguan Mountain can be known from this old woman."
Gao Yang looked at this scene with cold eyes, and then a voice sounded, and he followed the direction where the old woman left.
Then, Shangguan Wan'er and her group followed Gao Yang.
The mountain road was rugged and full of tall trees. Although it was a good day today, being in Waguan Mountain still felt a biting cold.
The old woman walked very slowly.
Gao Yang and others did not hide their whereabouts. The old woman only needed to turn her head casually to see their uninvited guests.
But the old woman did not look back, but just walked forward on her own, like a walking corpse, moving slowly but very firmly.
One step,
Two steps.
She walked towards the depths of Waguan Mountain.
About half an hour.
The old woman stopped and stared at the land in front of her.
Gao Yang looked around. Tall trees stretched out twisted branches, blocking out the sun. The ground around was sparsely covered with withered yellow weeds. Some tombs with big bellies and small mouths, like clay pots, were particularly eye-catching.
"This..."
Seeing this scene, Luluo couldn't help but cover her mouth.
Shangguan Wan'er also clenched her fists suddenly, with horror in her eyes.
Clay Pot Mountain, and the tombs in front of her that looked like clay pots, it seemed that everything was clear, but the truth was so unbelievable!
Gao Yang was not surprised at all, his eyes were extremely indifferent.
His eyes fell on the top of the tomb with a big belly and a small mouth, which was piled up with blue bricks and sealed tightly.
At this time.
The old woman slowly turned her head. This was the first time she turned her head. Her face was haggard and swollen from being beaten by the middle-aged woman, so it looked a little scary.
Although there were six living people not far away, she seemed not to see them. Her gray eyes stared straight at the back of Gao Yang and his group.
That was the road leading to the village!
The path was covered with thorns, but there was no one.
A flash of disappointment flashed in the old woman's eyes, and then a flash of relief that she had known this would happen.
She turned her head without any regrets.
In front of her was also a tomb with a big belly and a small mouth, about 1.5 meters high. The shape of the entire tomb gradually narrowed from bottom to top.
The top hole was built with five or six blue bricks, which further shrank the already small hole. The whole thing looked like a clay pot standing on the ground.
The old woman crawled towards the hole, holding the blue bricks at the hole with both hands, and leaned down little by little, disappearing into the darkness.
This scene happened very quickly, and no one expected it.
When they came forward, the old woman had already arrived at the tomb.
"No, don't!"
Seeing this, Luluo could no longer bear it.
She hurried over, and her voice of reluctance sounded.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang also came forward at the first time.
Luluo continued, "Old man, are you okay? We will rescue you now. That woman bullied you so much. We saw it with our own eyes, and we will definitely take you to seek justice!"
After this sentence sounded, a calm voice sounded in the clay pot tomb.
"That woman is my daughter."
As soon as the words fell.
Luluo and Shangguan Wan'er's faces changed. They guessed that the woman was the woman's relative, but they thought it was a daughter-in-law with no blood relationship, but they didn't expect it to be the old woman's daughter!
"Then we will take you to find your son, he will definitely take care of you."
"This tomb was repaired by my three sons together, and it was my eldest son who personally carried me up the mountain and sent me to this clay pot tomb."
Lu Luo wanted to struggle, but was directly hit by a critical strike!
"Young Master..."
Lu Luo almost cried, staring at Gao Yang with her beautiful eyes.
Shangguan Wan'er walked forward and said to the cave entrance, "Old man, we will give you some silver money so that they can treat you well."
"The current emperor is wise, and he gives dozens of silver coins to the sixty-year-old every month, and there will be more in the future!"
Hearing this, Lu Luo seemed to have ignited hope.
With money, the woman will definitely change her attitude!
"Foreigner, no need, even if you have money, it is useless, because I am over 60 this year, and I am an unlucky person!"
"If you really can't bear it, then stay here and chat with me, so that it will be a great gift from heaven."
The old woman's voice sounded, with a touch of desolation.
But Luluo and Shangguan Wan'er both frowned, their faces full of confusion.
"Money is useless, this old woman is an unlucky person?"
At this time.
Gao Yang walked forward, he sat down on one side of the clay pot tomb, his face was extremely calm, but his voice was very soft.
"Old man, why is it called an unlucky person after 60?"
"Can you tell me?"Shall we talk about it?"
The old woman's voice sounded, "What can't be said when a person is about to die?"
"In this Suiyang County, especially under this large area of undulating mountains, there is an unwritten rule."
"As long as the elderly are over the age of sixty, no matter whether they are in good health or not, they must be sent to this clay pot tomb in advance to wait for death."
"Otherwise, if the elderly live one more day, they will compete for the life span of future generations and bring endless bad luck to the family."
These words made everyone's face change.
Shangguan Wan'er was even more angry!
This kind of feudal superstition, Daqian has long ordered a severe crackdown!
But it still exists until now!
Even after Wu Zhao ascended the throne, there are corresponding policies for the elderly in their sixties!
Local officials, what do they do for a living?
Gao Yang was not surprised at all, but his face became colder.
"So, just because of this illusory rumor, you, the old man, were locked in this clay pot tomb until you die? "
The old woman smiled and said, "Young man, you are wrong. Did you see the blue bricks at the entrance of the cave?" Gao Yang took a glance and said, "I saw it." "What is the blue brick used for?" The old woman replied, "After being sent to the earthenware jar grave, you will not die immediately. Every day after that, your son will come up the mountain to deliver food. After delivering food for a day, he will lay a brick until the blue bricks completely seal the entrance of the cave, and then he will not come again." "Then, it is death." Gao Yang fell into silence.
