Chapter 358: The funeral procession

Sin City, a castle where the guilty are held.

In the hearts of all the villagers in the village of Chongyang Island, the castle behind the mountain is a forbidden place, and no villager dares to climb the mountain to come here.

The children in the village have been told by their parents not to come to the back mountain to play since they were young, and if they dare to come to the back mountain, they will be repaired fiercely.

"Really?"

Hua Mingming's face showed suspicion, a castle where criminals are held, how can this sound so suspenseful.

"You said that there were a few people missing in the village before, and these people were all brought into the castle, so who brought them in, they didn't go in by themselves, right?"

Chen Ze followed and asked, but the expression on Wang Tian's face became a little frightened, and his voice became low again, "We don't know who brought them in, but every missing villager will have an iron plaque in their house, with a number engraved on it, and the older generation said that this number represents the number of the villagers who were brought into the castle." ”

"Then how many people have been brought into the castle now?" Ye Ziyu asked curiously.

"The number on the last iron plate is 83, which is Zhang Da Fat's father, Shuqi should have an impression. ”

"Big fat?"

Zhang Shuqi recalled it, and immediately understood who Zhang Dapang was in Wang Tian's mouth, and he was also her playmate when she was a child.

"Alright, it's time for me to tell you everything, Shuqi, now I can take your friends down the mountain. ”

Wang Tian persuaded, Zhang Shuqi also didn't know what to do, and set her eyes on Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu.

"Fang Ming?"

Ye Ziyu opened his mouth towards Fang Ming, the corners of Fang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, to be honest, he was quite curious about this castle, but before he knew the depth of this castle, it was better not to take risks easily, especially except for him, Ye Ziyu and the others were just ordinary people.

"Let's go back first, we'd better get to know the castle first. ”

Fang Ming made a decision, and Fang Ming spoke, the others naturally had no opinion, in fact, Zhang Shuqi dared to take everyone to explore, it was precisely because he knew that Fang Ming was not an ordinary person, this castle was really in danger, and Fang Ming was safer with them.

Coming down from the mountain, the group walked towards Wang Tian's house, Wang Tian's family background is not bad in the village, and his father is also the current village head.

Wang Tian's father was not at home, only Wang Tian's mother was at home, when he knew Zhang Shuqi's identity, he was extremely enthusiastic, pulled Zhang Shuqi to talk non-stop, and even took out all the fruits at home to entertain.

"I think this Wang Tian's mother is probably a drunkard who doesn't mean to drink, I guess she wants Zhang Shuqi to be her daughter-in-law. ”

When Wang Tian's mother pulled Zhang Shuqi to chat, Hua Mingming muttered in a low voice, "As long as it's not the idea of beating my Yaoyao." ”

Fang Ming and Chen Ze looked at Hua Ming at the same time, Fang Ming glanced blankly, while Chen Ze raised his middle finger, both of them had a common thought in their hearts, how strong their hearts and cheeks must be to be able to say such shameless words.

From beginning to end, Ling Yao didn't pay attention to Hua Mingming, and even Ling Yao's name was still someone Hua Mingming almost learned from other girls' mouths, but now he has become a member of his family, and he also called Yaoyao one by one, if people who don't know really think that there is something between the two.

"Let's go, go out for a cigarette. ”

Chen Ze and Hua Ming are both smokers, and when they walked to the intersection of the village, the two were taking out cigarettes, but suddenly there was a sound not far away, there, there was a funeral procession, and in front of the team were a few people playing suona.

"It's unlucky. ”

Hua Ming extinguished the cigarette in his hand, turned around and walked towards the Wang family, saw Chen Ze still looking at it curiously, and said: "Don't look at it, the old man of my family said, don't watch the funeral." ”

"And that said?"

If Chen Ze had been in the past, he would have scoffed, but after experiencing the incident of listening to the wind cliff, he also knew that there was a yin spirit in this world, and he didn't dare to be stubborn at the moment, so he threw away his cigarette and followed Hua Mingming into the Wang family.

"Didn't you two go out to smoke, and you finished smoking so quickly?"

Tang Yan saw that Chen Ze and Hua Ming came back so soon, and asked with some confusion.

"Don't mention it, it's really unlucky, there's a funeral procession outside, and someone in this village has recently died. ”

Wang Tian's mother, who was chatting with Zhang Shuqi, heard Chen Ze's words, the expression on her face changed slightly, and then explained: "Well, an old man in the village is gone. ”

It is normal for the old man to grow old, and this is someone else's business, and it is not easy for them outsiders to discuss it too much, but not long after, there was a sudden chaotic noise outside the courtyard of the Wang family.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

Chen Ze was the first to run out, and when he saw the situation on the road outside, he immediately shouted: "It's not good, the coffin fell off." ”

Hearing Chen Ze shout, Fang Ming and the others also walked out, and at this moment on the road, the funeral procession was in chaos, and several people carrying the coffin were even more pale, but the coffin overturned on its side and fell to the ground.

"It's over, there was an accident in carrying the coffin, this is a blind eye. ”

Someone whispered, and the other people's faces were also ugly, but then a middle-aged man walked out of the team, "What nonsense, I think it's because Dafu and a few of them have drunk, and it is estimated that the reason for the weakness of their legs." ”

Dafuku is one of the eight generals who carry the coffin, and in some places the person who carries the coffin is called a general, and in some places it is called Daxian, because the coffin is not something that anyone can carry, and it must be the kind of person who is very hard.

"Village...... Village chief, we didn't drink. ”

Dafu had a bitter face, he didn't want to carry this pot, after all, the main family had not paid him yet, if he carried this pot, then the main family would have to deduct his money.

Carrying a coffin, there are more than 200 red envelopes and a cigarette, which is not a small amount for Daifuku, who earns money from farm work on weekdays, and ordinary people will not carry the coffin.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and lift the coffin. ”

Wang Guodong urged Daifuku and others to carry the coffin again, and Dafu and the others had to squat down again to lift the coffin, but the coffin fell back to the ground as soon as it left the ground, and Daifuku and the others rolled directly to the side.

"This ...... I don't want this money. ”

A general carrying the coffin had a look of horror on his face, if the previous time was an accident, then how to explain it just now, they were all very careful, the wooden pillar was not broken, the rope was not broken, why did the coffin turn over again?

"The coffin can't fall to the ground, and the coffin that fell to the ground before it already made the ghost of the deceased dissatisfied. ”

One of the eight generals, an older man, stepped out, picked up a stack, and threw it on the place where the coffin had fallen, reciting some strange dialect in his mouth.

"What is he talking about?" Chen Ze looked at Wang Tian, all of them present were outsiders who didn't understand the local dialect, and as for Zhang Shuqi, she was still young when she was here, so she couldn't speak everything.

"He is talking to the ghost of the deceased, saying that they made a mistake in carrying the coffin, this is not the place where your body is buried, and I hope you will set off again, follow us on the road, and bury you in the treasure of Feng Shui. ”

Wang Tian roughly translated, while Ye Ziyu asked softly beside Fang Ming, "Fang Ming, is this really useful?"

"Sometimes it's useful. ”

Fang Ming raised a smile on his face, "It is said that when a person dies, he must be buried in the earth, and after a deceased person is retracted into the coffin, when the coffin is carried away from the deceased's home, unless it is to the tomb, it cannot land, because once it lands, it is very likely that the ghost of the deceased will think that it has arrived at his underworld mansion, and it will not leave." ”

"Therefore, in ancient times, not everyone could eat the general's bowl of rice, not only to be hard, but also to have strength, to know that the mountain road is not easy to walk. ”

The tombs are generally on the mountain, carrying a coffin up the mountain, you can imagine how difficult it is, so most of the general generals are laborers.

Under the manipulation of the old man, several generals squatted down again, ready to get up and carry the coffin, but this time before they could lift it, they heard the crisp sound of wooden planks breaking.

This time, even the old man's face became ugly, and he whispered a few words with Wang Guodong, and finally showed anger on his face, and directly took off the rope tied to his shoulders and left it.

"You are pit people, this is not a normal old and dead person at all, where is the coffin so easy to carry when this kind of person dies, and those of us who carry the coffin will have to be unlucky for three years. ”

Several other generals were also angry when they heard this, like although they carried coffins for people to make money, they did not carry all coffins, because some coffins were not carried by them.

The scene was chaotic, and several generals were obviously not from their own village, but from the next village, and there was a burst of scolding in the local dialect one after another, and Chen Ze was in a fog when he heard it.

"It's really...... Hey, why did Fang Ming walk over?"

Hua Ming was about to sigh a few words, but he suddenly found that Fang Ming didn't know when he walked to the side of the coffin, and hearing his words, Ye Ziyu and the others also noticed Fang Ming's movements.

"Hey, what do you want to do this young man?"

The noisy two sides suddenly found that someone had put their hands on the lid of the coffin, and they knocked gently, and they all showed surprise, and the family of the deceased stared at the owner of the hand with an angry face.

The owner of this hand is naturally Fang Ming, Fang Ming put his hand on the coffin lid and patted it a few times, facing the angry eyes of many relatives of the deceased, but he didn't care, but said lightly: "If you delay any longer, you will really run out of gas." ”

Hearing Fang Ming's words, Wang Guodong and the deceased's family members all changed their faces, Fang Ming looked at these people, and continued: "The old man is old, and he can't afford to fall so twice. ”
