After washing her feet, she changed into a pair of slippers and went into her bedroom. There was quite a lot of space in the house. The big room in the middle was used to worship the ancestral tablets. The big room on the right side of the main room was divided into two small rooms. One of the rooms belonged to his sister. However, his sister was studying in high school in the county town. Although it was already the holidays, the school required her to make up lessons and she would not be back for a few days, so the room was still empty. The one outside was Ye Feng's little nest. On the left side of the central room was the room for his parents and grandparents. Because his grandfather had passed away three years ago, his grandmother was now living in one room. Further left was the kitchen and living room. The main door of the central room was usually closed. The family usually entered and exited through the main door of the living room.
He walked past his parents 'bedroom and the central room and entered his own room. The room was not very big. It was still decorated the same as before. There was a transparent glass window with a purple embroidered curtain hanging on it. Chen Jin Yuan went forward and pulled open the curtain. The light from outside the room shone through the window, and the room suddenly became bright. Through the window, one could clearly see the scene in the courtyard. Of course, if one stood in the courtyard, one could also see Ye Feng's room clearly.
There was a small desk in front of the window. On the table was a small lamp and some books that Ye Feng had read before. A five-foot-wide wooden bed was placed against the wall. The bed was already covered with clean sheets and two thick blankets. His mother must have known that he was coming back and changed them in advance. There were no mosquitoes in the winter, so the mosquito nets that were originally hung had been taken down. The snow-white walls on both sides were covered with certificates of various sizes. Upon closer inspection, they were all from primary and junior high schools. Ye Feng wanted to tear them off, but his mother did not allow it. After thinking about it, he was reluctant to do so because they bore the weight of his glorious past! That was why it had been preserved until now. In general, the room was not big and the decorations were not gorgeous, but Ye Feng felt warm. Perhaps it was exactly what he said: A nest of gold and silver was not as good as one's own!
He placed the computer and the phone he bought for his sister on the desk, opened the glass window to let the room breathe, and closed the door.
At this time, his mother was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner. When she saw Ye Feng come out, she went into the house to watch TV. There was a sofa and a square table in the living room. The portraits of these great men were pasted on the wall. There was also a photo frame hanging. Other than a family portrait, the rest of the photos in the frame belonged to Ye Feng and his sister. He turned on the television. It was almost 6 p. m., and after changing a few channels, they were all showing cartoons. Feeling bored, she put down the remote control and walked around the house only to find that she did not see her father and grandmother.
Thus, he walked into the kitchen and asked his mother,""Mom! Where's Grandma and Dad? Why aren't they here?”
When Chen Zhenbin heard her son's question, her hand, which was holding the kitchen knife and preparing to cut the bacon, paused. She looked up at Ye Feng as if she had thought of something and said hesitantly,"Oh! They went to work in the fields and would be back in a while!”
Working? Ye Feng was puzzled. He might believe that his father went out to work, but his grandmother was already in her seventies. It was difficult for her to walk normally. What else could she do? Besides, what time was it now? There shouldn't be much work in the fields!
Ye Feng looked at his mother's expression. He was sure that his mother must be hiding something from him! "Mom! Are you lying to me? Grandma has been idle at home for several years. Why would she work in the fields? You must be hiding something from me. Where did they go?”
"Don't worry about the family matters. Your father and the others will be back in a while!”Chen Zhenbin paused again and said in a somewhat heavy tone. After saying that, she continued to cut the bacon in her hand.
Ye Feng felt that his mother's tone was a little off on the phone yesterday. At that time, he felt that something might have happened at home, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Seeing his mother's expression now, Ye Feng was even more determined.
"Mom! I'm already 22 years old this year. I'm an adult. Don't treat me like a child anymore. Tell me what happened at home. Don't always hide anything from me, okay?”Because of the excitement in his heart, Ye Feng's voice could not help but raise a few decibels, almost shouting.
When Chen Zhenbin heard this, she put down the kitchen knife in her hand and slowly raised her head. There was a slight struggle in her eyes, as if she was wondering if she should tell her son the truth. As if she saw Ye Feng's determined gaze, she suddenly felt that her son had really grown up. Perhaps she really shouldn't hide it from him. Anyway, she would find out sooner or later. She gritted her teeth and slowly spat out a few words,"Our ancestral grave has been robbed!"
"What is it? The ancestral grave was robbed?"
Ye Feng's eyes were wide open. His mother's words made him a little stunned.
Ancestral graves might be unique to the Dragon Country. From ancient times to the present, from the royal family to the common people, their ancestral graves were considered taboo. They would never let anyone touch them and disturb the peace of their ancestors. Usually, if something good happened to a family, others would say that smoke was rising from their ancestral graves. In the countryside, people would often threaten each other to dig up their ancestral graves when they quarreled. However, that was only a quarrel after all. No one would be so wicked as to really dig up other people's ancestral graves.
Now that it was already the 21st century, the concept of ancestral graves was not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as it used to be. However, in the rural areas of the Dragon Country, these things were very important. Ye Feng thought that he had received higher education, so he did not pay much attention to these things. However, his parents and the previous generations cared very much. This was not superstition, but a form of respect and admiration for their ancestors.
The Ye family's ancestors had once produced a flower man during the Qianlong Dynasty who was the governor of Jiazhou. After his death, he was buried in the Ye family's ancestral grave. His grave was the most luxurious and magnificent one in the cemetery. It was also the best in Chenshan Village, where Ye Feng's family was located, and even in the surrounding villages. It had always been the pride of the Ye family. Mrs. Ye was referring to this tomb.
A few years ago, this tomb was rated as one of the top ten protected cultural relics in Cidu County by the county cultural relics bureau. Although it was said to be protection, it was actually just a monument erected beside the cemetery. Those people only ate and did not do anything. If they wanted to protect it, they had to rely on themselves.
After the county report, the entire Ci Du County knew that there was such a big tomb in the mountain village. Because the owner of the tomb had once been a high official, there must have been a lot of things buried with him. There had been several groups of gold thieves, but they were all discovered by the villagers and failed. Unexpectedly, this group of gold thieves still did not give up and came again.
"When did this happen? Did you catch the thief? Do you know who did it?" Ye Feng hurriedly asked.
