Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 1043: Found the Place

Indeed, He Jinxuan had done his homework. If it were something else, Uncle Liang probably wouldn’t accept it given his nature. But Uncle Liang had a strong addiction to smoking, and only this could touch his heart.

In the end, Uncle Liang took it: "Alright, consider it a hardship fee from you, kid."

They walked for over half an hour to get there. The place was very secluded, and without a guide, it would be hard to find. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Xinyan carefully memorized the route along the way, fearing she might take the wrong path next time.

Uncle Liang pointed to a grave mound: "It’s right there."

As they approached, he spoke while tidying up with the shovel he brought: "Old Master Gu, after so many years, finally a descendant has come to visit you. Even if one day I can’t make it anymore, I can be at ease."

At this moment, large snowflakes began to fall.

Uncle Liang paused his actions: "The elders here call this place Fuling, but over time it gradually became known as Fuling Mountain. Although it sounds nice, as you can see, most places around here are more rock than soil, so in the locals’ eyes, it has little to do with good fortune.

Only this small patch of land has a thick soil layer, backed by Fuling Mountain, facing the Yuquan River. When we were young and starving, we came here looking for food, chasing a rabbit, and accidentally arrived here."

Back then, after Old Master Gu met his misfortune, those who had received favors from the Gu Family spontaneously gathered together, discussing ways to secretly retrieve Old Master Gu’s body so he could be buried in peace.

During that time, taking a wrong step would lead to eternal damnation. Fortunately, among the guards, there was someone whose elders had also received Old Master Gu’s kindness. With his help, we succeeded smoothly.

When the Gu Family arrived, we had already made plans. Considering the circumstances, we had to bury him hastily.

That very night, we took advantage of the cover of darkness to bring out the body. We didn’t even dare to buy the coffin or funeral clothes nearby, fearing someone would notice something unusual and create new troubles."

Listening to Uncle Liang’s words, the two felt especially heavy-hearted. One could easily imagine how dangerous it was back then. If what they did were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xinyan exhaled lightly: "Uncle Liang, does anyone know the details of what happened back then?"

Uncle Liang pondered for a few seconds, looking at Old Master Gu’s grave mound: "No one probably knows the specifics."

He paused for a moment, seeming to have made a decision, took a deep breath: "At that time, there was a follower with Old Master Gu, I knew him, he might know something."

Xinyan immediately asked: "Do you know anything about that person?"

Uncle Liang shook his head. After that night, we who were involved didn’t dare gather again. Once things calmed down and we were free to move, we never saw that person again.

But Xinyan still asked: "What’s that person’s name?"

Uncle Liang looked into the distance: "That person is a distant relative from my family line. His full name is Liang Hongsheng, but everyone calls him Shengzi."

Xinyan understood now, it must be the person her grandfather had mentioned.

At this time, He Jinxuan had already arranged the offerings and even specially brought a bottle of good wine.

After Xinyan offered incense, she lit the burning paper while murmuring softly: "Great-grandfather, I am Han Xinyan, the daughter of your granddaughter Gu Wanqing.

I’m sorry for taking so long to come and pay my respects to you.

Now the times have changed. I believe it won’t be long before grandfather personally brings you back to the ancestral tomb for a proper reburial. Please wait a little longer.

The grudge from back then may have faded over time, but whether it’s grandfather or mother, even myself, we all keep it in our hearts. I believe that one day the truth will be revealed.

Those who once hurt us will ultimately receive the punishment they deserve.

I know you’ve waited a long time, but please believe, that day won’t be too far off."

After He Jinxuan toasted, he poured the wine on the grave mound, then crouched down to help Xinyan burn all the paper money they had brought. Once everything was in order, he said to Xinyan: "The snow is getting heavy, let’s head back."
