Chapter 350 - 350 Tomb
350 Tomb
If his clothes were wet and he went to the nearest house to change his clothes, it was still fine, but if he still stayed in the house to eat, it would indeed be a little unreasonable.
“There’s no need. Your village chief has already invited me just now. I’ll eat dinner at Village Chief Hu’s place,” Zhang Zhan said.
Widow Zhou heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhang Zhan’s expression was normal and he did not look like he wanted to take revenge for her offense.
Little Ah Yu had just finished two mouthfuls of sweet potatoes when Tang Yuan refused to let her eat anymore.
Hu Erpang wanted to argue with Tang Yuan when he heard Zhang Zhan say, “Ah Yu, let’s go. Didn’t you say that you wanted to see the General’s Temple?”
Little Ah Yu immediately put down the sweet potato in her hand. “Coming!”
“You’re going to see the General’s Temple? Then I’ll go too. I haven’t visited the general yet!” Hu Erpang took the sweet potato and swallowed it in two to three bites.
He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and smeared the dirt on his pants as he hurriedly followed.
Tang Yuan turned around and saw a few gray marks on Hu Erpang’s face. She was really disgusted.
She took out a handkerchief. “Wipe your face. It’s so dirty.”
“Don’t look at it then.” Hu Erpang did not take her handkerchief. He wiped his face with his sleeve, making it look even more messy.
Tang Yuan: “…” It was useless to try saving a sloppy person.
It was better to stay away from him.
In the house, Widow Zhou’s father-in-law was still a little worried. “Lord Zhang doesn’t look like the kind of person who holds a grudge. He shouldn’t blame us, right?”
Her mother-in-law said, “I think Lord Zhang is a loyal person. Previously, he received a favor in the village. Later on, didn’t he distribute disaster relief food to our village? If not for the kindness of our village, he wouldn’t be so generous. Perhaps our village wouldn’t even get anything.”
In any case, when the former county magistrate was around, good things usually did not fall into their laps. They could not even avoid bad things.
Widow Zhou: “It’ll be even better if he remembers the kindness. I even wanted to change his pants for him previously.”
Although she did not succeed.
Zhang Zhan, who had just walked out of the courtyard: “…” When talking about others behind their backs, could they wait until they were far away?
He was really grateful.
The children brought Zhang Zhan to the General’s Temple. When they heard that the county magistrate was also interested in the general’s tomb,
the children in the village all volunteered to bring Zhang Zhan to take a look.
As it was winter, the waterfall had already frozen into ice. If they wanted to see the general’s tomb, they only had to smash away the ice.
The children went to call the adults again.
When the adults heard that Zhang Zhan wanted to take a look, they carried their tools and left without a word.
Zhang Zhan still felt a little embarrassed. He had mobilized too many people.
Unable to withstand the enthusiasm of the villagers, a large group followed along with a huge commotion.
The waterfall was very tall, and the ice formed was especially thick.
The villagers started breaking the ice from the top.
Even the lamb went to help, stomping its hooves desperately.
An hour later, the ice at the top fell with a bang, and the ice below also collapsed.
The cave hidden behind the waterfall was immediately exposed.
The cave was not big and could only accommodate more than 10 people.
Hu Erpang led the way and climbed down from above. Soon, he entered the cave.
Tang Yuan followed closely behind. Her movements were even more agile than Hu Erpang’s.
The two of them stood at the entrance of the cave and said in unison, “Sir, you can come down now.”
When Zhang Zhan entered the cave and saw the tall tombstone and the words carved on it, he was immediately shocked.
“It’s actually General Hu Dingbang from more than 100 years ago!”
This was the only transcendent-grade general in the history of the Great Chang Nation.
It was rumored that he had fought thousands of battles in his life and had only lost two or three.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was an ever-victorious general.
So this was actually the place where General Hu’s bones were buried?
