333, funeral

All the people were scared, and they didn't dare to get close to the second grandfather's home, Ah Huang and Ah Mei lived in Mu Ya's house, and often the two brothers hugged each other and cried, and later Mu Ya learned that this pair of children was picked up by the second grandfather on the way to escape the famine, not brothers and sisters, at that time, everyone couldn't support themselves, no one was willing to take these two children, or the second grandfather took the children, and has been supporting until now.

Listening to Azen gossip with her about this, Mu Ya's heart was sour, the second grandfather is really a good person, and now the second grandfather is the oldest in the two villages, generally except for the patriarch, the old man is the most respected, and everyone thinks that the old man can live so long because of the blessing of the gods.

The second grandfather's condition came and went, a few days was better, and he came out for a walk, Mu Ya went to see him once, gave him medicine, so as to encourage the old man, the second grandfather knew that his disease would be transmitted to everyone, so he consciously stayed away from everyone, and often said some self-deprecating words, "I'm old, I've lived so much, and I've had a good rest." The second grandfather sighed, and then said solemnly to Mu Ya: "If I die, the most reassuring thing is my two grandchildren, they are all poor children, Mu Ya!" Now everyone is doing well, there were one or two families who came to ask me for children, I didn't agree, when the children were dying of hunger, no one wanted them, and now they don't have to worry about food and clothing, so they come to have children, you know, there is a strong male beast in this big wilderness forest family is the source of food. I'm afraid that I won't live long, after I die, you help me make the decision, give the child to the bud family, she takes care of me so kindly, I have nothing to repay, I also told her, she also likes the children very much. ”

After the second grandfather said these words, he was tired and went back to the house, and Mu Ya also knew. It seems that the second grandfather is explaining the aftermath to her, and she can't help but feel a little sad in her heart, that bud will be a good mother, she has heard that this woman is also pitiful, on the way to escape the wilderness, the man was bitten to death by the prey when he pursued the prey, and there was a child who also died of illness. Life is better now, and it's always good to have children around.

Although there are buds who take care of them wholeheartedly, the second grandfather still passed away. The elders of Flame Village have passed away, and everyone is quite heavy, and the epidemic has not spread. But every household is still gloomy. After more than ten days of investigation, the source of water pollution was also found, and there was a very large lake behind the two mountains, surrounded by mountains, and the river water was clear. Under the blue sky, the lake with no end in sight is like a mirror.

The people who came back said how beautiful it was, even Yan Yan couldn't help but say that it was really good, and Mu Ya couldn't help but want to see it, but such a big lake would not be polluted. After careful questioning, it turned out that there are many tributaries of this lake, and the mudslide that was washed away by the torrential rain in the middle of the lake passing through Rainbow Village was robbed. There were also many dead bodies buried there.

Pony said, with a look of disgust, as you can imagine how disgusting the place was, "It stinks, and there are a lot of dead bodies floating over here." The water in this river is undrinkable. ”

The funeral of the second grandfather is imminent, and the body cannot be left for a long time in the hot weather. And now those people in Flame Village are in a depressed mood, that is, Ah Qiang, who was scolded by the second grandfather before, was also depressed after hearing that the second grandfather died, and he didn't come out to be idle.

The matter of the river being blocked will not be solved for a while, and the problem of drinking water can only be taken to the waterfall harder. At night, after the children slept, Mu Ya and Yan Yan talked about the funeral of the second grandfather. In Mu Ya's impression, after the death of an elderly person in her hometown, the funeral was to be held more grandly. The second grandfather is also an elder figure in Flame Village, and now there is no older person over there, and there is no one who can call the shots, although the little dog is the village chief, but after all, he is still a child, and he doesn't understand the world.

"What do you think we are going to do? In the past, in the lion clan, these things were done by grandmothers, and I didn't even participate, so I knew that people died and found a pit to bury them. Yan Yan said.

"It's not okay to bury it directly, the second grandfather died of an epidemic, he must be cremated, and he can't be buried casually, after all, he is an elder." Mu Ya said, thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, this matter, we will discuss this matter with a few elders in Flame Village, and we will handle it tomorrow, I will handle this matter, you and Dazhi and they will think about how to solve the matter of the river." ”

After listening to Mu Ya's suggestion, Yan Yi happily agreed, and then turned over and hugged Mu Ya, Mu Ya thought that the big lion was going to be in heat, pushed him, and said: "It's all this time, you are still in the mood, I am not in the mood today." ”

Yan Yan smiled, "I didn't think so, I just wanted to sleep with you in my arms, I thought too much." ”

Being treated like this, Mu Ya smiled angrily: "I hate it, I'm sleeping." Then he deliberately twisted away to prevent him from approaching.

Seeing that Mu Ya fled like a little loach, Yan Yan pulled the person back into his arms, hugged him tightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, sleep." ”

Mu Ya turned her back to Yan Yan and nestled in his arms, it was really warm, there were many things to do tomorrow, sleep!

Early the next morning, Mu Ya called A-Cen to go to Flame Village together, the two came for the second grandfather of Flame Village, and first went to find the little dog, the little dog is the clearest about the matter of the Flame Village, and asked the little dog, and the little dog said that now the older person in the village is Grandpa Heitu, and it is Aunt Yazi. Mu Ya asked the puppy to find out what to do with the funeral of the second grandfather and discuss it.

After a while, Grandpa Heitu was a very thin middle-aged male, much younger than the second grandfather, and Mu Ya had seen it, just today, Mu Ya would like to explain the raising of the two grandchildren of the second grandfather. The puppy was also left by Mu Ya, although the child is small, but many things have to be done from elementary school, and only then can they know how to deal with similar things.

Mu Ya first asked Flame Village what attention it was about the funeral of the deceased, but she didn't expect everyone to understand what Mu Ya said, and then the little dog explained that Flame Village said that the funeral was called Xiatu. It followed the customs of the locals, and later it was called a funeral. Flame Village has a process for the elderly who have died, first to dance the soul dance around the dead for three days, then to find a place near the water to bury, and to build a mound with stones. The blood of the close relatives is so that the deceased can follow the blood to find their relatives in the other world.

In the minds of the people of Flame Village, without their own relatives, they will be very pitiful after death, and they will get lost in another world and cannot find their families.

Mu Ya suddenly understood the words of the second grandfather, why did she give her two grandchildren to Yazi, even if she is an orc, she is grateful.

Such a ceremony, Mu Ya felt that it was not suitable for the current situation, three days could not be stayed, and it was not appropriate to rely on water for burial. Mu Ya also said a set of procedures for her funeral, and what she said was very reasonable and different, and when she finished speaking, everyone was shocked, with a look of horror on their faces.

Later, when I asked, it turned out that cremation was the greatest punishment for the most heinous people, and only those who could not live forever would be punished, because everyone felt that those who stayed in the body and the dead were not completely gone, but would go underground and follow the blood of their relatives to find their former homes and families.

This won't work, it's really a bit troublesome, in fact, Mu Ya can use tough means to demand, the second grandfather is the source of infection, this can't be cremated, hey! Later, Mu Yaxiao reasoned and made up a story, which finally convinced everyone that such a price is to go through the rituals of the dead in the future.

Everyone listened to Mu Ya's words, and heard that no matter who it was in the future, it would be the same, and they no longer insisted on it, and they all said that they would be cremated. Because the weather is hot, it should not be left for too long, after agreeing, everyone set about this matter, first Yazi went to find clean clothes for the second grandfather to change into, got two wooden planks in the hall, put the old man's body on it, Mu Ya found an oil lamp to light it, someone in her old family died, and this is what she did. Then according to their customs, they found people in the village to dance the soul dance, and Ah Shi and Er Hei made a coffin for the second grandfather according to the drawings given by Mu Ya.

Achen and the others prepared lunch for everyone in the courtyard at the back, and this funeral Mu Ya combined the customs of their side and the customs of this side into one. It was solemn and solemn, people from the two villages came, and they were curious to see the excitement, and they really came to send the second grandfather.

Mu Ya asked Ah Fan to burn smoked grass in the house to disinfect it. Everyone was watching outside, and there were two people in the village at once, and everyone's faces were heavy. Mu Ya and the little dog found a vacant land near the shade of the back mountain, which will be used as a cemetery in the future, and the first person to enter is the second grandfather.

Everyone who came, all kowtowed to the second grandfather, in fact, they themselves do not have this rule, it is Mu Ya who said that kowtowing is to say hello to the old man, and let the old man bless himself, Wu'er who came to see the ceremony was afraid of being infected, so he did not approach the house, and looked outside the yard, and then heard someone say this, and also entered the yard and kowtowed to the second grandfather three times, and kept reading to let the second grandfather bless his child to be born smoothly.

Later, there was also an incident of Sanya and Jin Zi grabbing the kneeling pad, and the two of them also begged the second grandfather to bless themselves to give birth to a big fat boy. An originally bleak funeral finally became a lively kowtow event, Mu Ya looked at the people kowtowing all over the yard, and sighed: The second grandfather went down this time, but some of them were busy.

The people left behind at noon all ate white rice, this is called white rice, in fact, they are all vegetarian dishes, for funerals, Mu Ya is called tofu rice over there, there is no tofu here, Mu Ya just called it white rice. This etiquette has continued ever since.
