Fortunately, the village chief of the corpse village was very enthusiastic, and the people trapped by the torrential rain were assigned to live in the villagers' homes one by one.

Heavy rain continued to fall in the evening, and villagers said that mudslides had occurred in several places on the mountain, and the way out was basically blocked.

There are only two ways for them to get out.

First, wait for rescue.

Second, get out on foot.

The rain is still falling, and going out is unlikely.

Even if you walk on foot, there is no small danger.

Now we have to wait for the rain to stop.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

As soon as she had dinner at the villagers' house, Ding Jie went to the village committee of the village.

It is said to be a village committee, but it is actually an ancestral hall in the village.

The village is not big, there are about 100 households in total, and they are basically related to each other.

In other words, the villagers in this village are basically a large family.

It's basically a surname, dead.

The surname is dead.

I'm afraid I'll have to spend the next few days in this village.

To be honest, this village always gives Ding Jie an eerie feeling.

Can't tell.

But the villagers in the village are quite enthusiastic.

When I entered the village, I said that I would pay for the night.

But none of the villagers asked for it.

Hard not to.

Very welcoming.

But you can't eat and drink for nothing.

to the village council.

The village chief and village officials, as well as passengers who were trapped in the village due to the torrential rain, were all there.

"The village chief. In the past few days, we have bothered you, these are what we just made up, and they should be the cost of accommodation. ”

A resolute, tall and strong man stepped forward and handed the village chief a stack of money, which looked like a thousand.

The strong man's name is Guan Xiuxian, a passenger in the car, it is said that he is a retired special soldier, who has just come down from the army, and on the way home to return home, he never thought of encountering such a thing.

His family is from Tianma Town, and he can be regarded as a local.

Because of this, I am very familiar with the villagers and the village chief.

The 1,000 yuan was made up by the passengers in the afternoon.

One person is about fifty.

Not much.

"No, it's too much. It's just a matter of borrowing for a few days, and if you don't need money, get it back quickly. Otherwise, I'll be angry. "The village chief is an old man, about seventy years old, and he is also the patriarch of the village.

"That... Okay then!" Guan Xiuxian could only take back the money.

But this money, when you leave, will still stay.

Even if you don't want to, you have to keep the money.

Next, the village chief and the passengers trapped in the village discussed it.

What to do exactly, are there any other paths?

It's okay to get out.

But after talking about it for a long time, they finally vetoed their plans to go out.

The rain has not stopped, and there is a high chance that mudslides will occur, which is very dangerous.

Just wait for the rain to stop and then go to explore the way.

Seeing that the discussion was inconclusive, the passengers chatted with the village chief.

I don't know if the 'signal tower' has been damaged by the rain or collapsed by the 'mudslide'.

No signal.

Can't get online.

I was able to make a call, but the signal was still good and bad.

"The village chief. The name of your village is so strange, how can it be called the village of carrying corpses? Could it be that there is a history of carrying corpses in your village?

"Also, you... Your last name is weird, dead last name. Is there really one of the hundred family names?" Ye Xiaoman asked again.

"Little girl, we don't work as corpse catchers in our village. Our village is called the Village of the Dead Body, and that's why. The village chief's voice was a little hoarse, he took a sip of tea, and replied, "The name of our village is related to our customs. Because the funeral in our village is very special, there is no coffin, no burial in the soil. Rather, it is hidden in a cave. When you enter the village, do you see the small hill behind our village? ”

"When someone in our village is dying, we ask the family to go to the hill and find an open space and dig a small cave just enough to fit a person. It can't be too big, it can't be too small, it has to be just right. When the dying man has lost his breath, the male of the family will carry the body up the mountain and put the body into a dug cave. The cave cannot be filled with earth, only the entrance of the cave needs to be covered with stones. ”

"It's a complete tomb. No filling, no coffin. ”

"Your village is called a corpse carrying village because you need to carry the corpse up the mountain, but why does your village hold this unique funeral?" Ye Xiaoman asked again.

"That's right. The village chief took another sip of tea and said in a hoarse voice: "This funeral in our village has a long history. In fact, when it comes to the reason, it is because of poverty. More than 100 years ago, there was a natural disaster in the village, and there was not much food. It was not only the famine in our village, but also the rest of the country, and the victims were everywhere. At that time, the patriarch of the village discussed with several village elders and felt that although the food in the village was not much, it could be used if it was saved. Wait until the spring of the next year to plant the grain and harvest the grain. You can get through it. So the patriarch and the village elder made a decision in the village. ”

"That is, all the old people over the age of 50 in the village will be buried alive. ”

"Because people are old, they are not laborers. It will only be a waste of food. Leave behind the women, children, and strong men of the village. Because they are the hope of the survival of the race. ”

"Only in this way can the village continue to thrive. ”

The patriarch and village elders took the lead in carrying out the live burial. Let the men of the family dig a small cave in the mountain and wait for it to be dug. Then let the man carry them up the mountain and put them into the cave that had been dug. He left them only a little water, and sealed the hole with stone. In the end, let these old people die in the cave little by little. ”

"There's no way around it, there's not enough food. Only in this way can our village thrive. ”

Later, all the elderly in the village over the age of 50 were buried alive. ”

"In the end, it took several years for our village to survive the famine. It has been multiplied until now. ”

"On the back mountain, there are still the graves of the old people of that generation. ”

"This is the origin of the funeral rites of the corpses in our village. ”

"The name of our village has been changed to Corpse Village. ”

"In fact, in the beginning, our village was not carrying corpses, but living people. ”

When the village chief said this, there was no sound in the house, quietly.

Who would have thought that a hundred years ago, such a huge change would take place in this village?

Bury the living.

Just for the village to be able to reproduce.

Fortunately, in modern times, this will not happen again.

Because... Socialism is really good!

No ***... There would be no good life we have now!

"Prosperity, democracy, integrity, friendliness, dedication..."

Always keep it in mind!
