Whether it is the wood used or the style of construction, it seems to be incompatible with this rapidly developing era.
When you walk into the ancestral hall, you will smell moldy.
Maybe this has been a long time, no one has cleaned up here.
In the middle of the ancestral hall, there is a shrine, but on the shrine there are many tablets.
These tablets seem to exist for a long time, and the names on them have been wiped out by the wind and rain over the years, and some of the handwriting is not clear enough.
However, Lin Fan still discovered that all the tablets offered were from Meihua Village.
A rough estimate is that there are at least several hundred.
A cold wind, slowly blowing over, poured into the neck, making people not only tremble.
I don't know why, since I entered this ancestral hall.
I always feel that the surroundings have become gloomy and uncomfortable.
"Is this ancestral hall only that big in total?" Lin Fan asked, frowning.
The guide nodded: "Yes, there is only one house in this ancestral hall, but it has been a long time since no one has cleaned it up. I remember that when I came last time, the village had not changed at all. From then on, the ancestral hall was already there. Empty...Oh, yes, if I remember correctly, there was still a madman living here at that time!"
"madman?"
Lin Fan and Wang Jianmin frowned.
"Oh, he is actually a poor man. Now that lunatic is 40 or 50 years old, but he is mad and mad. He has no family to take care of. The people in the village think he is pitiful and send him to this ancestral hall. He lives in this place every day. Sometimes a kind villager would give him something to eat, and sometimes he would run to the mountain behind the ancestral hall to chew on the mud, and now I am afraid that he disappeared with the people in the village!" The guide sighed and shook his head.
Hearing this, no one else felt anything.
After all, in this world, in such a society, people who are tortured crazy by life abound.
If you show sympathy to everyone, I am afraid that if you slow down, normal people will be driven crazy.
Lin Fan didn't think about this, but he noticed another problem.
"You mean, there is a mountain behind this ancestral hall?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
The guide was startled, then slowly nodded: "Yes, but it's not a mountain, it can only be said to be a small mountain bag, there is nothing bare!"
"Hehe, that's the case!" Lin Fan nodded with a smile.
Immediately, I saw him wink at Wang Jianmin and Yang Xin.
Wang Jianmin and Yang Xin are not stupid, since they entered the village, they knew that Lin Fan seemed to have discovered something unusual, but they never said it.
"Well, everyone is walking around the village, taking a look, and collecting some new evidence, but everyone must remember that you must not go far, let alone go alone, you know?" Wang Jianmin said.
"Yes, group leader!"
Everyone nodded, and then disbanded on the spot, grouped together in twos and threes, and looked around the village.
Others are holding cameras and taking pictures of strange things, hoping that these can be useful clues.
When everyone, including the guide, also left.
In this ancestral hall, there are only three people left: Lin Fan, Wang Jianmin, and Yang Xin.
"Xiao Fan, tell the truth, what did you find?" Wang Jianmin frowned and asked.
Lin Fan smiled and nodded: "It seems that nothing can escape the eyes of the two of you, yes, it is indeed a bit of discovery!"
"Oh? Let's listen, what is it?" Yang Xin asked with a frown.
Lin Fan smiled lightly and pondered for a moment.
"There are a few small details, I don't know if you have paid attention to it. From the time we first came in, the road from the entrance of the village to here has been very clean, as if someone had deliberately cleaned it... , And when I went to the chastity stele just now, I don’t know if you saw it. Around the stele, the ground has been turned over, that is to say, the dust has been covered, but the new soil is pressed on it!"
"Besides, the chastity stele has become a bit corroded after years of baptism, but the stele is still very clean, as if it had been wiped by someone just now. This makes me strange!" Lin Fan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, both Wang Jianmin and Yang Xin frowned, not understanding the meaning of Lin Fan's words.
Even so, what can it explain?
Before the two of them could ask questions, Lin Fan continued: "What makes me feel abnormal is probably the changes in this ancestral hall. Do you still remember? County Magistrate Liang said that the mother and daughter were not I fled into the mountains by myself, but was driven in by the villagers. Later, maybe it was a hard time to go, so I set a monument of chastity for the mother and daughter!"
"However, even so, the mother and daughter are far from qualified to put the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall. You must know that in the hearts of these feudal-thinking people, the ancestral hall does not allow any kind of people to be supported. But look at this..." Lin Fan pointed his finger.
Wang Jianmin and Yang Xin quickly turned to look over.
But found that among the many sloppy tablets, two more tablets were quietly standing on it.
And the surface of the card is very smooth, but there is no engraving.
Tablets without names? This alone feels strange.
What's more, the other tablets were all scattered there, skewed and dusty.
Only these two unnamed tablets are very clean and smooth.
Even if Wang Jianmin is stupid, he can see some clues now.
"Xiao Fan, could it be that someone is offering worship here?" Wang Jianmin frowned and asked.
"Hehe, if I am not mistaken, the two non-character tablets of worship are the mother and daughter who were driven into the mountain back then, including the chastity stele at the foot of the mountain, and the person who worships is probably that Crazy!" Lin Fan said with a smile.
"what?"
Wang Jianmin and Yang Xin were both surprised.
"Let's go, let's go to the back of the ancestral hall, maybe it will give us unexpected gains!"
When the voice fell, Lin Fan turned and walked towards the back of the ancestral hall.
Wang Jianmin and Yang Xin looked at each other.
An unspeakable strange thought all came up in my heart.
If it's as Lin Fan said, the lunatic was supporting the tablets of the mother and daughter.
What does this have to do with the disappearance of the villagers?
Or to say... Thinking of this, Wang Jianmin felt chills behind his back.
There is a feeling of extreme fear...
