Go straight to the right along the dirt road. There is an apple orchard at the first intersection, but there are three peach trees in the apple orchard. The tree with the strongest branch in the middle has three old graves in front of it, belonging to three girls respectively.
This reminds me of the time when my hometown was not demolished. I did see this scene. There are three old graves in front of a stronger peach tree among the three peach trees. The reason why we are old is that we are covered with weeds and desolate.
Trees in apple orchards are often pruned and managed, and the land is clean or full of crops. There are three peach trees and three ancient tombs on that land.
A little curious, I asked, three girls, really? My uncle, who just celebrated his seventieth birthday, said, "Really, Yinger, Yaner and Luer used to visit my house when they were young." .
The three of them had a good time and had a close relationship. They often went out together, were talkative and smart, and were the daughters of everyone in our village. Uncle sighed. If they were still alive, they would be almost forty years old. It is estimated that there are still several children.
When they went, one was ten, one was eleven and the other was twelve. It caused great losses to three families at that time.
Among them, 1 1 year-old Yaner has been gone for less than a year, and her mother is ill and unconscious. She waits for Yaner at the village entrance every day. When someone passes by, she will say that Yaner has gone out to play and that she is looking for Yinger to play. Why hasn't she come back yet?
However, Yinger has left and gone far away. Where's our Yaner? Why don't you go home? Sometimes this delirious mother pulls passers-by and makes a hullabaloo about. Where's our Yaner? At that time, the children in the neighborhood saw it and ran away or avoided her directly.
I asked, what's going on? Uncle said, no, in less than two years, poor mother died. The day before her death, she called Yaner's name in her yard. The neighbors all know about it, but no one dares to say.
Yes, no one can feel the pain of the poor mother losing her eleven-year-old child, but human nature makes people afraid that bad things will touch their homes, so they look on coldly.
Uncle went on to say that just a few days ago, this dead Yaner, her father also left, and the family may be reunited. People in the village who knew about it before got together to discuss it. What's the matter with these three girls? I am more and more curious and want to know exactly.
Neil, this thing is a bit weird, and it has to start from 30 years ago. Because it was dark and there was a little wind outside, my uncle said that I had goose bumps unconsciously, but curiosity prevailed after all.
The uncles began to come one by one, and we all listened attentively.

Thirty years ago, there was a reform-through-labour team near our village, which was full of prisoners. They are fraudsters, rapists, murderers and other criminals. The state remoulds them, makes them work, grows vegetables and trees, and takes care of orchards and gardens, thus giving them suspended sentences or reduced sentences.
Yes, when I was a child, the reform-through-labour team was still there, and my cousin said aside. Yes, when we were young, we went to labor camps to steal spinach and apples, haha! And some memories of our childhood. I miss it too. Speaking of which.
You are very happy. Stealing an apple and vegetables is a wonderful childhood memory, but those three silly girls are not as lucky as you, because they went to a labor camp to steal things and were suspected of stealing grapes, and suddenly they were caught up by a prisoner who guarded them. The tragedy began.
It is said that two of the girls ran very fast, one was caught, and the one who was caught was waiting for the other two girls to ask for help from adults.
However, this never happened in the little girl's home. Yan 'er and Lu 'er were so scared that they didn't go home all night. Ying 'er somehow spent the night in a labor camp.
The next morning, Yinger went home alone. Her parents didn't talk when they saw her coming back. They asked her where you three crazy girls were, and Yaner and Luer's parents were still looking for them. Yinger, like a godless person, went back to her room alone and closed the door.
Yinger's parents think that their daughter didn't come home all night. They must have stayed up all night and didn't pay much attention to her. In addition, farmers were very busy at that time and didn't have much leisure.
In the afternoon, Yaner and Luer were found sleeping in a big haystack in the village. They were woken up and didn't go home until Yinger came home. They should stay up all night. At that time, they slept soundly. Fortunately, I didn't meet any bad people.
Uncle said that in the evening, there was a heartbreaking cry in Yinger's home. 10-year-old Yinger committed suicide by cutting her wrist with a fruit knife. Only when blood came out of the door did the family know that something was wrong, and the child had no breath when he knocked at the door.

From then on, Yaner and Luer never played together again. They clamor for their parents to pick them up from school every day. When the two children saw Yinger's parents, they hid. Yinger's father is a village teacher. He waited many times on the way to school, trying to get some news from the two girls.
Later he learned that the three girls were not together the night before his daughter's accident. In constant inquiries, Yaner also told him that Yinger was arrested by the reform-through-labour prisoners that day, and they were afraid that they would not go home and tell the adults.
Yinger's parents went to the labor camp to make trouble and asked the public security personnel inside to investigate the matter. Finally, they found that a reform-through-labour prisoner had been missing for many days, and his body was found in the barn. Uncle said that this incident made people feel uneasy at the time, and no one checked it later.

After Yinger's parents made a scene in the labor camp, one morning about three months later, Yaner told her parents that she was going to find Yinger. She said that Yinger came to see her every night and said that she was very sad. She said she would avenge Yinger, and then Yinger wouldn't be sad.
Yaner's parents are a little worried, but it is human nature to see that their children know that their efforts at school are ok, and they think that their children used to play well with Yinger and Yinger.
One day a week later, Yaner said, Mom and Dad, other children go to school by themselves, and I do it by myself. You are busy in the field, don't worry about me. Parents didn't ask much, but after that day, Yaner didn't go home at night.
Yaner's parents found Yaner's school, and the teacher said Yaner packed up and left as soon as school was over in the afternoon. She didn't come home? At this point, the parents' hearts were in their throats. They searched everywhere and found no trace of Yaner.
The next morning, by the river next to the village, the uncle of the village chief found Yaner's body. Yaner's family lost its center of gravity, and her mother fainted instantly. As the only child in the family, Yaner's mother married her father, and it took twelve years to see a doctor before she gave birth to Yaner.
"Some strange things have happened in the village, and Lu Er is next. When they were all alive, the relationship between the three girls was the best. Maybe the three of them are one life, and one of them can't live without the other two. "
"Yes, look, the two have already left. She is next. " According to my uncle, the village was boiling during that time, and there were all kinds of discussions every day, but everyone walked around the doors of these three houses for fear that they would be unlucky if they were not careful.

After half a year, Lu Er seems to go to school and go home normally every day, and help his parents at home during the holidays. However, the whole person has lost a lot of weight and his eyes have turned black. When people in the village see her change, they may be more guessing and panicking. No one dares to mention anything to her face.
One day, her parents went out early in the morning and said that they would go to other places to buy goods and open a small shop, and come back at night. That day, Lu Er stayed at home and did her homework alone. She went to play at her uncle's house at noon.
My uncle told us that Lu Er said that she missed Yinger and Yaner very much. She said that if one day she left, she would tell their parents to let them be buried under three peach trees in the largest apple orchard in the village. They said they made a promise to God and swore an oath.
They said they didn't want to be born on the same day in the same year, and they hoped that heaven or hell would be together forever. Because they all want someone to accompany them, but their parents are very busy and never see them. They are very happy to chat together, and they feel like companions when they see each other.
The world of children is naive and simple. Children who lack love are either extremely inferior or full of fear of the unknown. They are very good and sensible, afraid of saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing.
They hold on to something that makes them feel safe and will not let go easily. It's like they found a little friend to play with. Once this sense of security is deprived, they will fall into their closed dark gray world, and there will be panic about the death of their companions.
Uncle said it rained and thundered that night. I didn't know until the next day that Lu's parents avoided the bad weather and didn't go home until noon. Then there was a loud cry, and Lu Er disappeared. She hanged herself and suffocated.
But Luer left a letter. She is in the fourth and fifth grades of primary school and can write a lot of words. She said that Yinger and Yaner were very lonely and dreamed that they pretended to make faces to scare her every night. They kept crying.
She said that she could think of the scene in her dream when she was in class. It's terrible. They said that she had broken her word and asked her to accompany them.
She said that Yinger was taken away by a reform-through-labour prisoner the day before her death. I don't know how disappointed Yinger was that day, because neither she nor Yaner went to save her. Later, when they went back to find Yinger, they saw a stranger pulling her into a small room outside the wall of the labor camp.
They didn't go because they were afraid and left silently. They also dare not go home, nor have the courage to tell the adults at home.
She said that if one day she was gone, they vowed to be buried under three peach trees in the apple orchard in the village, because they all like peach blossoms, which are beautiful when they bloom and make them feel relaxed and happy. Only by sleeping under a peach tree can they rest in peace. I didn't think it was a prophecy.

Later, the three families discussed it and found a fortune teller. They all told the whole story. Mr. Shugua also said that their dates of birth and names indicated that the three of them had to be buried under peach trees to rest in peace.
Three girls were buried together. Otherwise, the next generation of the three families will have the same fate if they have girls, and they will not live beyond the age of twelve. Everyone believes in it, preferring to believe that it exists rather than that it doesn't exist. Because it has a great influence on the whole village.
"So this is the origin of the three old graves under the peach trees I saw in those years. It's also an old story that everyone mentioned. However, why did Yinger cut her wrist and commit suicide? Why did Yaner find her body by the river? Why did the lost prisoner find her in the barn and die for so many days? " I have a question for my uncle.
Uncle looked dignified and sighed deeply. Turn your eyes outside the small restaurant. Looked at his watch, it's almost eleven o'clock. The night is already deep.
At this time, the proprietress of the restaurant, wearing a face, gave us a smile while cleaning up the leftovers and leftovers on the table after the guests left. She said, "Nothing, we are still open at two o'clock in the evening."
6/6
Uncle looked at the proprietress. He went on to say that the reform-through-labour prisoners caught Yinger. Later, another reform-through-labour prisoner saw it, saying that he saw the little girl who stole things first. He is too tired from work recently, so let him help him get wheat from the barn.
Because the people above asked them to grind flour and prepare steamed bread, the leaders went to the labor camp for inspection at noon the next day.
Looking at Yinger's wife who has been in her hometown for more than ten years, he said that maybe her family thought he was dead long ago, because there was no chance to send them a message and there was nothing to contact.
Yinger looks like his wife. He tricked 10-year-old Yinger into committing a crime in a storage room next to the wheat warehouse, and was just seen by the prisoner who had just opened it in the next warehouse. In order to protect himself, he chose to kill. Bury the murderer at the bottom of the wheat pile.
When the prisoner woke up and prepared to kill Ying, Ying Er beside him had already run away.
I asked, how did this happen? Did the criminal turn himself in? Uncle said, yes, he turned himself in. This must be a matter of conscience. I am condemned by my conscience day and night, and I am afraid every day. I'm worse than death. The criminal didn't sleep all day, but he was accused by others.
Uncle said that the criminal was later shot in Dongsha River. He said that he deserved it and killed three families. He said that he saw a little girl coming to the labor camp alone that night, and he was on duty that day.
The little girl said that I know you. She wanted to avenge her good friend. You dragged her into the small room. I'm going back to tell everyone in the village that Ying 'er's death has something to do with you. What the hell did you do?
When the criminal turned himself in, he said that he was afraid that things would get out because he would be free in another year and could leave the reform-through-labour camp. He has been here for ten years. Ten years of change, he was wrong. He wants to go out and see the outside world.
He said he wanted to get better before he met Ying-er. Go out in the future and be a good person. But there is no turning back.
He said that he was at a loss and killed Yaner by mistake in a rage. Later, she was left by the river in the village, which made people mistakenly think that Yaner committed suicide.
The criminal said that he committed suicide only when he heard that the third girl in the village died. Because the suicide note said that he was scared by nightmares all night, thinking that his mother was beaten by his father when he was a child.
Many times, his mother tried to cut open the aorta and chose to commit suicide, but she was stopped. Her mother still cried for help in her dream, even shouting, which ran through his childhood memory. He cried bitterly and said that his mother had never enjoyed happiness.
Because his mother was bought by his father from a trafficker, she has no feelings and is only regarded as a machine for giving birth to children and working.
Uncle said that many people went to see the execution scene that day and saw that he was killed by one shot, and his brains came out. But before he was shot, the criminal smiled. He said that he could finally atone for his sins, be free and go to see his mother.
Yes, ghosts are terrible, because people are afraid of their own unknowns, and their hearts are even more terrible. Right or wrong is only a thought. Now, have the criminals rested with the three girls? But it is a pity.
Through this true story, I want to say that I hope that more parents can spend more time with their children now, and can really see them, so that they are not lonely or desperate, embraced and warmed by love. Only in this way can we face any difficulties bravely.
