Chapter 960: A Strange Funeral Procession
After having lunch with his uncle, Qin Yu and Meng Yao separated from their uncle, after all, the end of the year came, and his uncle's work was even busier than usual.
"Qin Yu, what are we doing in the afternoon?" Meng Yao took Qin Yu's hand and asked.
"In the afternoon, let's go to the Tongyi Mountain to play, where the scenery of Jiuxian Lake is good. Qin Yu thought for a moment and replied.
From the county seat to Jiuxian Lake, it only takes more than an hour to drive, and when Qin Yu and Meng Yao drove to Jiuxian Lake, it was only more than two o'clock in the afternoon.
Qin Yu originally thought that there were no tourists at this time, and there should not be many people on the side of Jiuxian Lake, but when he saw the dozens of cars parked below, Qin Yu knew that he was wrong.
Although there are fewer tourists in this season, many young people who work outside have returned, and these young people have chosen Jiuxian Lake as the first choice for playing, after all, it used to be because of inconvenient transportation, but with the rise of people's living standards, there are more families with cars, and when they go out to play, everyone's choice is no longer the county seat.
"From here, you can go up to Nine Immortals Lake. Qin Yu pointed to the halfway up the mountain not far in front of him and said to Meng Yao.
In fact, the car could have been driven directly to Jiuxian Lake, but Qin Yu did not choose to do so, the scenery of Tongyi Mountain is very beautiful, not only Jiuxian Lake, but also to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Qin Yu and Meng Yao walked all the way up, many cars roared along the way, and by the time the two arrived at Jiuxian Lake, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's really beautiful, Qin Yu, I didn't expect there to be such a good place in your hometown. ”
Sparkling, with green water, dotted with green mountains on both sides, this beautiful landscape attracted Meng Yao at once.
"Of course, I haven't heard a word, the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, so we Jiangxi people are also called Jiangxi Lao Biao. It's because there are so many mountains and rivers. Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Hey, there's a boat over there?" Meng Yao pointed to the cruise ship gliding on the lake, and his expression became excited.
"This is for people who want to play, and we can also rent one. Qin Yu saw Meng Yao's excited expression. He asked Meng Yao to wait here, while he himself walked towards the lake, where a row of pleasure boats stopped.
"Boss, how do you rent this boat?"
"Fifty dollars an hour. ”
"Okay. I'm going to rent one. ”
Under the leadership of the boss, Qin Yu chose one of the boats, and then beckoned to Meng Yao.
"You don't bring your own lifebuoys and life jackets, if you don't bring them, you can't go out on a boat according to the regulations, but I have them here, and renting a lifebuoy is 10 yuan, and life jackets are 20. ”
Qin Yu didn't bargain with the boss, and after taking two lifebuoys and two life jackets, he took Meng Yao to board the boat. It was directly started and started.
Green mountains, green water, and a breeze blowing across the water, waving a wave, coupled with the girl snuggling up to him, at this moment Qin Yu can finally understand why Fan Li chose to give up power after helping Gou Jian destroy the Wu Kingdom, and took the United States on a boat to swim together.
Of course, it would be perfect if there was no noise from the diesel engine in the stern behind you and the occasional smell of diesel wafting over.
"Hey, Qin Yu, look over there?"
Meng Yao looked at the mountains and rivers by the lake. Suddenly he noticed something, and pointed his finger in a direction on the other side of the lake.
Qin Yu looked in the direction pointed by Meng Yao, it was at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the Nine Immortal Lake, and there were dozens of white figures. From such a distance, Meng Yao couldn't see clearly, but Qin Yu could see it clearly, these people were wearing sackcloth, and the leaders were holding flags.
"It looked like a funeral procession, and these people were dressed in sackcloth. The person in front of him carried a spirit flag. Qin Yu said towards Meng Yao.
"Ahh Listening to Qin Yu's words, Meng Yao's tongue spit out, but it seemed a little taboo, and his eyes immediately moved away from there.
It was Qin Yu himself, but he showed an interested expression on his face, staring at the funeral procession.
It's not that Qin Yu likes to look at these things, but he vaguely feels that this funeral procession is a little strange.
The relatives of the deceased have to cry until the deceased is buried and buried in the ground, but this team has no sound, and no one is crying.
Qin Yu is very confident in his hearing, although he is still some distance away from this team, as long as there is a cry, it is impossible for him not to hear it, and in general, the general travel team is the first two people carrying the flag, then the eight generals carrying the coffin, followed by the funeral procession, and finally someone has to sprinkle paper money along the way.
You know, sprinkling paper money is not a formality, especially buried in this mountain, this is to deal with the surrounding ghosts in advance and tell them that there is a new friend here, since you have received the money, don't bully the newcomer.
In layman's terms, it is called "protection fee", and the underworld, like the yang, also has many unspoken rules of its own, so don't underestimate some superstitious actions, they all have their own reasons.
"Qin Yu, what are you looking at, since it's a funeral, what's so good-looking?" Meng Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw Qin Yu's eyes staring over there, isn't this funeral a taboo thing?
"It's funny, it's really funny, I didn't expect to see it today. Qin Yu suddenly said something that made Meng Yao confused.
"Isn't it very confusing, in this way, I'll take you to see a good show. Qin Yu lowered his head, saw Meng Yao's puzzled expression, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and he began to turn the direction of the cruise ship and drive towards the funeral team.
"Hey, the diesel engine didn't sound, how could this ship still move?"
When he was about to approach the hill by the lake, Meng Yao suddenly found that the diesel engine behind him had stopped working, but the boat still maintained this certain speed and approached the hill.
"If there is a voice that alarms those people, it will not be able to see the good show. Qin Yu smiled, this ship can move, naturally because he borrowed this underwater aura to push the ship forward.
The boat stopped on the side of the mountain, Qin Yu took Meng Yao up the hill, and quietly walked towards the funeral procession, and after walking for a few minutes, he finally caught up with the team.
Meng Yao was held by Qin Yu along the way, although her stomach was full of doubts, but in the end she still didn't ask, and now, looking at the funeral team in front of her, her heart trembled for no reason, and she shivered all over.
This time, even she saw that something was wrong with the funeral procession, the general funeral procession was beating gongs and drums, and the crying was earth-shattering, but this funeral procession, except for the footsteps of walking, did not make any other sounds, not like a funeral, but more like a thief.
"Shhhh Qin Yu seemed to have guessed that Meng Yao was going to ask a question at this time, and after making a silent gesture, he quietly waited for the funeral procession to go farther.
"Okay, now they're a little farther away. When there were only some vague figures left in this team, Qin Yu pulled Meng Yao out and came to the road that this team had just walked.
"Meng Yao, do you know what this thing is?" Qin Yu asked with a smile, pointing to some black dust on the ground.
"It can't be paper money. Meng Yao squatted down and observed for a while, and said his opinion.
"Hehe, if only paper money, I'm really getting more and more curious about this team now. Qin Yu smiled, his fingers touched the dust on the ground, and said, "This is the scripture, it is the entire scripture." ”
"Why do you want to burn this thing? After listening to Qin Yu's words, Meng Yao was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Well, just follow it and take a look, I'm not sure now. Qin Yu shook his head, didn't say anything more, took Meng Yao's hand, and chased after the team in front of him.
After three more stops in a row, a total of three times after watching the ashes appear on the ground, the team finally reached its destination.
It was a small hill that had been cleared, and judging by the color of the soil outcropping, it was clear that the weeds had been removed in advance.
Qin Yu and Meng Yao hid in the bushes behind them, picking up the leaves of the bushes and looking at these people in front of them.
I saw the two people carrying the flag on the left and right sides of the hill, and then an old man in his fifties walked out of the crowd, holding a bowl in his hand, walked to the top of the hill, grabbed the white powder in the bowl with one hand, and sprinkled it on the hill, which happened to be a rectangle.
After doing this, the old man pointed to the place below the crowd, and four or five strong men came up with hoes and shovels, and dug up directly in the rectangle drawn by the old man.
And while doing all this, there was still no one in the team who spoke, everything seemed to be rehearsed in advance, everyone knew what they had to do, and there was not even a loud cough from the beginning to the end.
Half an hour later, the four or five strong men finally dug up, and retreated into the line, and after the old man stepped forward to inspect it, he beckoned to the big men carrying the coffin, and the big men carried the coffin up, and then carefully put the coffin into the dug pit.
Everyone's cooperation is very skillful, as if they have been rehearsed dozens of times in advance, and there has been no accident in the middle.
After the coffin was put down, several big men made a move that shocked Meng Yao, only to see these big men put their hands under the coffin lid, and then lifted the coffin lid at once. (To be continued.) )
