Mo Feitian told Zhang Mengjiao how he met Zhang Mengqi on the road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhang Mengjiao said: "Impossible, this is impossible. Before seven o'clock, Zhang Mengqi was fine, and she said to me: 'Feitian is about to arrive home, I don't worry, I have to pick him up.' Zhang Mengjiao said: "Feitian, recognize Dao'er, it's okay." Besides, you can't walk even if you want to. Zhang Mengqi said: "Walk, move." As he spoke, he ran out of breath.
Mo Feitian felt more and more incredible. Seeing that there was nothing under the coffin, he asked, "Why didn't you put some dried wormwood under the coffin?" Zhang Mengjiao listened, beat her head vigorously, and said: "Look at my memory, think about it well, and forget it at a critical time." "I went out to find dried wormwood. After a while, he came back with a large handful of dried wormwood and spread it under the coffin.
There is a custom that once someone dies, a layer of dried wormwood must be spread under the coffin, which is said to ward off evil spirits. If the wormwood is not dried, if a cat or a dog runs under the coffin, the dead man will cheat the corpse, and it is a terrible thing to cheat the corpse. Although I have not heard of anyone who has seen a dead person cheat on the corpse, it is terrifying in people's legends. He said that the man who deceived the corpse was like a devil, who saw people eating people and eating animals, and there was nothing he could do. The bitten person will be poisoned and turn into a zombie, eating and biting people everywhere, which is extremely terrifying.
I really want to see Zhang Mengqi in the coffin. lifted the lid of the coffin and saw Zhang Mengqi lying quietly inside. I suddenly found that the clothes I was wearing now were exactly the same as the clothes I wore when I saw her, the hat was still the same hat, and the leather shoes were also the new leather shoes. It's as if I've just come back from outside. Strange, what the hell is going on?
Mo Feitian believed that Zhang Mengqi had indeed died. But she went to pick her up, got on the motorcycle, and talked to her, which is a true thing, how should this be explained?
Throughout the night, none of the family members slept, and the preparations for the funeral were very meticulous. Because it was summer, the weather was very hot, and the body could not be parked at home for too long. The funeral took place the next morning. Before the funeral, he cried a lot. While crying, he thought: "The adventure between me and Zhang Mengqi may always be a mystery." ā
In the afternoon, the funeral is basically done, which is called entering the earth for peace. It's a bit too bizarre to explain it from any angle.
Mo Feitian said goodbye to Zhang Mengqi and walked forward, through the desert, to Loulan, where he heard that there was a famous doctor who lived in seclusion, "Loulan Divine Doctor" Hu Han Zanyan. At that time, there was a kind of mole cricket insect rampant in Loulan City, there were no natural enemies in Loulan, they lived in the soil, lived on the white plaster soil of Loulan, and quietly entered the houses of Loulan City in groups, people could not eliminate them, they suffered deeply, and they were miserable.
"Loulan Divine Doctor" Hu Han Zanyan, dispensed the medicinal powder, sprinkled it in the room, behind the house, outside the hospital, the medicinal powder drove away the mole crickets and insects. The people of Loulan were hit by the plague again, which is a terrible acute infectious disease called "Rewozi disease", which sickens a village and dies a family. In the face of the great disaster, the people of Loulan were forced to flee, and the people blindly went up the Tarim River, where there were trees and water, they went there, and if they could live, they would go there, and if they could live, they would go there, and if they could live, they would be few.
The people of Loulan want to cry without tears. When they were on the road, they were catching up with the unprecedented wind and sand, it was a large formation of burying the heavens and burial ground, the sky was dark, the sand was flying and the stones were flying, the sound was like a ghost, a city was about to be scattered in the turbidity and blur, and the country of Loulan was about to collapse.
Mo Feitian came to Loulan and saw a handsome young man with big eyes and a clear and pleasing gaze in those bright eyes. Long eyelashes. The high bridge of the nose powerfully enhances the beauty of the entire face. Thick, long, yellow-brown naturally curly hair, gracefully scattered behind a shawl, and the top of the head curled in a pointed felt hat.
A black-brown felt hat with a velvet fur around the neck to keep you warm. He wore a short black coat and a pair of short-waisted leather boots on his feet.
"Hello, my name is Mo Feitian, do you know the residence of the "Loulan Divine Doctor" Hu Han Zanyan? Please tell me" Mo Feitian stepped forward and asked with a smile,
"My name is White Camel, you are a guest from afar, right? Welcome! The boy said,
"Yes, thank you! I'm looking for the "Loulan Miracle Doctor" to call Han Zanyan for treatment," Mo Feitian said,
"Feitian, the "Loulan Divine Doctor" Huhan Zanyan does not live in the city, the place where he lives is far away from Loulan, and the road is difficult to walk, but I can be your guide and go on your behalf" Bai Camel said,
"That's great, thank you! I can pay you," Mo Feitian took out the money from his body and said,
"You're welcome, I'm a guide for friends from afar, I don't charge money, you can go with me now!" The white camel refused to take the money and said,
Mo Feitian followed the white camel, out of Loulan, through similar ravines one after another, like the Yadan landform that seems to be connected and separated, after several twists and turns, to Lop Nur, Lop Nur is a big lake, the lake is vast, the environment is suitable, the lake is rippling, the water is abundant and the fish are fat, the wild birds are flocked, and the poplar trees that grow luxuriantly are to the confluence of the lower reaches of the Tarim River and the Peacock River.
There is a cemetery, only a few miles away from the Peacock River, the cemetery is selected on the platform, which can also be flooded, and it seems that the local Loulan people are very good at feng shui. Several tombs have a peculiar and spectacular appearance, and on the huge cemetery, it seems that countless radiant "suns" have fallen, and each "sun" is a tomb. This situation and this scene make people can't help but think about it.
"When Hou Yi shot the sun, did the nine suns fall here?" Mo Feitian said,
"Every cemetery has a "core", and this "core" is a series of seven layers of logs around the tomb, which are composed of thin and thick tight circles of poplar stakes, and there are columns of trees that spread out on all sides in a radial shape outside the circle. The whole shape is like a big sun, which can't help but make people have all kinds of mysterious associations. The poplar stakes densely planted in these cemeteries represent the "male root stump", and our Loulan people worship human reproduction and reproduction, hoping to bless our Loulan people with full descendants, and the country of Loulan will always be rich and prosperous," said the white camel,
Follow a winding path with nine thatched huts at the end of the trail with poplar frames and reed walls, and flowers and grass on both sides of the path. This may be the residence of Loulan's divine doctor "Huhan Zanyan". Come to the front of the house.
"White camel, is this the residence of the "Loulan Divine Doctor" Hu Han Zanyan? Mo Feitian asked the white camel,
didn't answer Zhang Mengqi lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the ground, only to see that there was so much red liquid flowing on the ground at some point, and the liquid was constantly flowing in a staggered manner, like a wriggling red poisonous snake.
Zhang Mengqi felt that this blood came from an unusual weirdness, the white camel's face was already pale, and his body shrank and froze.
