Capítulo 459: Chapter 459 The Ancestral Tomb Collapsed
This thought was tumbling repeatedly through Gu Beihuai’s mind.
Gu Beihuai and Qin Zhan couldn’t find any connection, so they prepared to go ask Third Grandpa.
There was still so ti before the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, but Gu Beihuai still felt uneasy.
No one wanted to et with mysterious trouble.
Especially when that person was Tang Chuxia.
Gu Beihuai and Qin Zhan headed straight to Third Grandpa’s residence.
After the flood ended, Third Grandpa had moved back to live in the village, saying he didn’t like city life and found it lacking in authenticity.
There were hardly any changes in Tang Village; as Gu Beihuai and Qin Zhan drove in, the villagers recognized Gu Beihuai, knowing him as Tang Chuxia’s partner, and greeted him one after another.
Third Grandpa’s ho was at the edge of the village. They didn’t enter the village but went directly to Third Grandpa’s house.
“You wouldn’t co to the Three Treasures Hall without a reason, spill it, what’s the matter?”
Third Grandpa was breeding insects.
Previously the drunkenness insect Tang Chuxia used, which he had painstakingly cultivated, was now gone, and without these insects to nourish his body, Third Grandpa always felt uneasy and needed to breed another batch.
Unfortunately, the difficulty of breeding had increased dramatically, and he didn’t have a good solution at the mont.
“Third Grandpa, we need your help with sothing.”
The people of Qingzhu were rather peculiar; after completing their missions, they would always choose death, as if death was not considered a problem within their organization.
Human life was as insignificant as grass.
It was deeply unsettling.
Upon hearing the matter concerned Qingzhu and Tang Chuxia’s fate on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, Third Grandpa stated right away, “You don’t need to inquire about this; it’s useless, we don’t know the specifics either. The old Taoist being able to calculate a date is already the limit!”
People from Taoist sects generally had various deficiencies and should avoid revealing too much about fate; one misstep could cause them all to face calamities.
Isn’t it better to live well?
Don’t recklessly divine.
The more you divine, the thinner your destiny becos!
Third Grandpa’s warning was of no use to Gu Beihuai.
“Third Grandpa, I feel like this brush with death is related to Qingzhu sohow? It seems they’ve always wanted to get close to the Tang Family, but what does the Tang Family have after all?”
No matter how Gu Beihuai analyzed it, the people of the Tang Family seed straightforward, with only Tang Jianzheng being exceptional, but now he served the state, it was like he had surrendered himself to the country, and no danger was considered a problem.
But aside from Tang Jianzheng, the others weren’t really a big deal.
“Even if Xiaxia possesses Divine Power, that’s not a reason for them to want her dead, right?”
If Divine Power could be utilized, it would certainly be a good thing, so why would they want to kill Tang Chuxia?
Gu Beihuai listed reasons, but whether it was Father Tang or Madam Tang, none made sense.
Third Grandpa sighed: “Even if you go through every mber of the Tang Family, I wouldn’t know what’s going on. After the old Taoist calculated your wife’s fate, he almost lost his life. Otherwise, why do you think he ran back to the mountains again?”
Any warnings that could be given surely had been; if nothing was said, there must be no clues.
Qin Zhan asked quietly, “Third Grandpa, is there a possibility that Qingzhu people want sothing from Sister Xiaxia, and because they fear others discovering what they truly need, they arrange for soone to get close to her, and when the relationship is good enough, they try to take it?”
Third Grandpa’s conclusion for Qin Zhan was still, “You’re not bad at making up stories!”
Which ant there wasn’t a shred of accuracy to the suggestion.
Qin Zhan wanted to say sothing else, but Third Grandpa stated, “You all shouldn’t guess blindly, there simply isn’t any solution!”
Third Grandpa couldn’t help, but Gu Beihuai was not going to give up, especially when it involved Tang Chuxia’s safety. He had to find an answer no matter what.
“If you really want to know, then go find Lin Qingchen. That kid definitely knows sothing!”
The ntion of Lin Qingchen irritated Gu Beihuai. A man who was always spying on his wife was irritating, no matter how you looked at it.
“We got it, Third Grandpa. You should spend so ti in the city when you have a chance. Being in the village can scare people!”
Gu Beihuai pulled Qin Zhan outside. They were thinking of going straight ho but were stopped by soone.
“Xiaxia’s partner, don’t leave just yet. I have sothing to discuss with you!”
An old woman stopped Gu Beihuai. He looked at her, a bit puzzled. To be honest, he recognized her. She was part of the Tang Family.
The old woman waved Gu Beihuai and Qin Zhan over to follow her.
The old woman’s house was in the middle of the village. To get there, they definitely had to pass through half of the village. Many people would greet the old woman, and she would respond warmly. Once they entered the village, a particularly large grapevine caught their eyes, its grapes just starting to form in bunches on the branches.
“Grandma, what did you want to see for?”
Gu Beihuai watched as the old woman made him a cup of tea and couldn’t help but speak up first.
The old woman smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous. I have sothing to ask you, not a favor to request!”
Gu Beihuai wasn’t worried about being asked to do anything; he could just refuse if it ca down to it.
“I am Xiaxia’s Second Grandma. You rember , don’t you?” The old woman’s gaze was fixed on Gu Beihuai.
Gu Beihuai nodded.
Previously, it was ntioned that Tang Chuxia had a younger uncle who caused quite a stir. It seed quite normal now for a Second Grandpa to pop up.
“That’s good! Then, when you go back, please ntion to your father-in-law to co back when he has ti. The Tang Family ancestral grave has collapsed!”
Gu Beihuai was stunned.
He thought it was sothing important. It turned out to be just a ssage to pass on.
“The ancestral grave collapsed?”
It was no wonder Gu Beihuai was skeptical. Tang Village originally belonged to a clan lineage. If the ancestral grave collapsed, it naturally should be handled by the village elders. Why would they need Father Tang to co back?
“That’s right, the one that collapsed was his parents’ grave. He’s the only one who can repair it!”
There were certain customs involved in repairing graves.
If there were direct descendants, then only they needed to tend to the repairs. If not, then the clan would find a solution.
As Father Tang was still alive and well, the only one who could take care of the parents’ tombs was Father Tang himself.
Usually, the clan’s elders would discuss such matters with Father Tang, but just so happened that Gu Beihuai was there—after all, as a son-in-law, passing on a ssage was no problem.
“Second Grandma, do you know why it collapsed?”
Gu Beihuai was puzzled. Grandpa Tang and Grandma Tang’s graves had not been constructed that long ago, not even a year had passed. How could they have collapsed so quickly?
Even if the construction was not solid, it couldn’t be this unstable.
Second Grandma shook her head: “I’m not sure, it just collapsed. Maybe the couple underground is restless and wants their children to visit!”
Just then, Second Grandma’s children returned from the fields and, seeing Gu Beihuai and Qin Zhan, greeted them warmly.
They all invited, “Stay for dinner!”
Gu Beihuai was about to accept when Third Grandpa appeared in the courtyard, chiding, “What ti is it now? Still talking about eating? Get lost!”
