Chapter Ninety-Six: Wengtou Village (II)
The white paper is round on the outside and square on the inside, and the yellow paper is square.
It's-
This is paper money for the dead to burn!
The paper money in the sky fluttered wantonly in the drizzle, and fell on our feet and bodies in the wanton fluttering.
At this moment, we all looked over our heads.
A high-pitched shout pierced through the fog directly in front of us and suddenly pierced the eardrums of each of us.
As this shout sounded, I heard the sound of suona coming from the fog again.
Not only the sound of suona, but also the sound of gongs, waist drums and bells.
Paper money, suona, gongs, waist drums, rattles, and this shout as if crying and mourning.
Someone died in the village of Wengtou.
And the reason why there is no one in the whole mountain village should be to help the master's family go into the mountains to bury people.
But I have never heard of such a custom of burying people in the mountains so early.
Now that you know the reason for the disappearance of the mountain people, you won't feel weird anymore.
The tension just now also became relaxed in an instant.
Several figures gradually appeared in the heavy white mist in front of us, and these figures were increasing in our line of sight.
When the mountaineers of Wengtou Village walked out of the heavy white fog in front of us one by one, we were also exposed to the sight of the mountaineers of Wengtou Village.
The sound of the suona just now stopped abruptly at this moment, and along with the sound of the suona, there were gongs, rattles, waist drums and shouts.
Without the accompaniment of sound, the two of us began to stare at each other with wide eyes.
I probably visualized the number of mountain people standing in front of us, and although the number of these mountain people was not much, there were thirty or forty of them.
And standing at the forefront of the mountain people should be the master and musician of this white affair.
There were three people in linen, a woman, a little girl who was about six years old, and an old woman who was hunched up.
What caught my attention was not the three main families, but an old man with a straight waist standing in the middle of these three main families.
Although this old man is full of silver hair, his eyes are extremely bright.
And the doubt and surprise in the old man's eyes after seeing us only survived for less than a second in his blazing eyes.
"I've seen you in the county, you're the owner of the restaurant that had an accident, right?"
After the old man wandered around each of us, he finally fixed his blazing gaze on Sun Liansheng's body.
"It's been so long, why did you bring someone to our village to ask for justice for you today?"
As the old man said this to us, I saw that the mountain people standing behind the old man raised their bodies in unison, and there was a posture that as soon as the old man spoke, they would rush up to us and do something to us.
Seeing this posture of the mountain people, it seems that it is really the same as I guessed, and the mountain people in this mountain village are quite united.
When the old man said these two words to Sun Liansheng, I looked at Sun Liansheng.
At this moment, Sun Liansheng's face was already flushed red, and his hands were also holding his trouser legs.
"My mother-in-law was still pregnant with a doll when she died, and my other doll was only in the third grade, and when I married my mother-in-law, I didn't even buy a decent piece of jewelry for my mother-in-law. ”
"I borrowed money everywhere and finally opened a restaurant in the county, I thought that when my mother-in-law gave birth at the end of this year, I would buy a gold ring for her, and I had already bought the ring, but I still put it on my mother-in-law, and she left with the doll in her belly. ”
Sun Liansheng cried after saying these words to the old man, crying like a wronged child.
And in Sun Liansheng's pain, the old man standing in front of us just sighed deeply.
I only knew that Sun Liansheng's wife and children died, but I didn't know that there was such a touching incident between him and his wife.
And I only now know that when Sun Liansheng's wife died, she was still pregnant with a child in her belly.
Retracting my gaze from Sun Liansheng, I looked at the old man standing in front of us.
"You're the head of Wengtou Village. ”
Qin Yue's voice sounded softly under this mountain village.
"I'm not just the village chief, but also the three fathers who brought trouble to this young man's restaurant. ”
When this old man replied to Qin Yue's words, he replied with a straightforward and natural answer.
"What's the matter, my son has paid for his life, and you still want to find me to avenge this old man?"
As the old man said this to us, I saw again that the mountain people standing behind the old man began to move.
"Today's funeral in my village, the fog in this mountain will not go down for a while, you have to stay, there will be land for you to live in the east, but if you want to make trouble, don't blame me for the people in this village who are not polite to you. ”
After the old man threw this sentence at us in a brutal and unreasonable manner, he suddenly raised a calloused hand.
"Keep playing!"
After the old man shouted these words, the sound of suona, shouting, and gong sounded again.
And these villagers began to continue to surge.
Those who sprinkle paper money continue to scatter paper money, those who play music continue to play, and those who cry continue to cry and mourn, completely ignoring us.
And when these mountain people passed by us, they also gave each of us a fierce look with a pair of warning eyes.
And as these mountain people passed by us, I smelled a strong smell of earth on their bodies.
That's right, it's the smell of earth, and there is obviously no soil sticking to their bodies, but the smell of earth coming from each of them is very strong.
Just like their body odor!
These mountain people blew the loudener all the way, scattered paper money all the way, and began to walk in the direction of the turtle mountain.
It wasn't until these mountain people completely walked out of Wengtou Village that Wengtou Village temporarily returned to peace.
"Five-flower soil, each of them has the smell of five-flower soil. ”
After these mountain people left Wengtou Village, Gou Tang's voice sounded.
Hearing this special term, I also turned to Gou Tang and asked, "What is Wuhua soil?"
"Five-flower soil is an important soil quality of tombs, the formation of five-flower soil is due to the natural soil after excavation and backfill two stirring, disrupting the original level, color boundary, and becoming a kind of flower soil that kneades a variety of soil layers, this kind of flower soil no matter how long the years have passed, can not be combined into a color, in the academic community this kind of soil is called five-flower soil, we have five doors will be called this five-flower soil treasure soil. ”
Hearing Gou Tang's words, I ignored the reason for the formation of the five flower soil and asked Gou Tang straight to the point: "According to what you mean, there is a spirit palace in the mountains near this Wengtou Village?"
"No, I'm not sure because of this fog. ”
After Gou Tang said this sentence to me solemnly, he continued to say to me with a serious face: "As I just said, no matter how long the years have passed, this treasure soil cannot be integrated into one, and in the same way, we can't arbitrarily make the judgment that there is a big tomb because of the treasure soil."
"And more importantly, you saw them just now, they went into the mountains to bury people, so that we can't judge the origin of this treasure soil that came from them. ”
"That's right, burying people will have to break the ground, and because of the rain, the moisture and rain in this mountain will make it more difficult for us to judge the time limit of the treasure soil. ”
Gu Yicheng took Gou Tang's words and said to us in a heavy voice.
I understood exactly what they were saying.
To put it simply, the smell of the treasure soil emanating from this group of mountain people is also likely to be infected by them when they dig pits and bury people.
"Let's go to the east first. ”
Qin Yue made a final announcement of our temporary stay.
In Dongtou, the village chief said that there was land for us to live in Dongtou, and a group of nine of us also began to head to the east of Wengtou Village.
After we passed through the layers of clouds and mist, I saw the earthen house at the east end of Wengtou Village.
There are four earthen houses, and these four earthen houses are located on a dirt depression at the east end.
