Chapter 91 Chapter 3 Past Events

When I was having dinner that day, I asked my cousin about the origin of the coffin. Biao Gong is a veteran here. He is 79 years old. He has never left the village except for going to the market. However, when asked about this matter, he is not very clear. There is an old coffin in the thatched hut behind the ancestral hall. Everyone in the village knew about it, but they had no memory of when the coffin appeared, and no one often passed by that area on weekdays. I also heard from some older people that this thatched hut was built in front of the ancestral hall. At that time, there was a piece of abandoned mud houses there. One room has remained until now.As for who originally built the thatched hut and the origin of the coffin inside, there is no way to verify it.Doing the math, this was about sixty years ago.

Sixty years ago, my cousin was 19 years old. It was too long ago, and he couldn't remember whether the coffin was already in the thatched cottage at that time, or someone put it in in the next 60 years.But looking at the appearance of this coffin, it is very old in itself, and it is hard to say when the coffin was made. Thinking about it, I feel a little uncomfortable, and I feel more and more that there is a story in it. We ate at the big table in the ancestral hall, and ate with other relatives in the village. My cousin was in a strong body. After eating, he went back to feed the chickens with a shisha. My father asked me to deliver it, so I followed On the way, my cousin said to me, if I am really interested, I can go to another village and ask an old man named Xu Aqin. He was invited by the Wu family to manage the ancestral hall. He worked as a long-term laborer in this village, and he also helped to build this ancestral hall. Later, in the second year of the Agrarian Revolution, he allocated a large piece of land and went back. It may be more than 100 years old now. Let’s talk about this matter If someone remembered, it could only be him.But it also depends on luck, over 100 years old, who knows what is going on with him now.

I thought to myself that I'm not full and empty, and I don't have much experience in building relationships with centenarians, so I said forget it, so I nodded and perfunctory. This was the first mistake I made in the whole thing, and yet the worst.
