Chapter 100: The Funeral
After two days of rest in the village, a new plan came to my mind, which was not much different from my original plan, but only a little hurried. After all, staying here any longer will only be a waste of time, and it will also cause trouble for the villagers.
I always feel the need to speed up -
After all, there is now an important private purpose for finding Xinran.
In the past few days, the atmosphere in Qiu Er Village has been extremely depressing, after all, some people have died, including the village chief who has a good relationship with me and has an appetite, and the smiling face that is full of muscles but can warm others.
The sacrifice of the village chief also made me negative for a while, but people cannot be resurrected after death, and even if they are sad, this is something that cannot be changed.
After I sorted out my emotions, I gradually walked out of the shadow of the village chief's death.
The village solemnly buried the village chief of Qiu Er Village, and buried the villagers who were slaughtered in this polluted beast attack together, a flat land in the back mountain, of course, the place of this funeral was after asking the "high priest" of the village, that is, my subordinate Yan Shanshan, after getting her nod, the strong young man in the village dared to break the ground and dig the pit.
The tribe of Qiuer Village attaches great importance to tradition, especially the respect of the living for the dead, and all villagers here must come to attend the funeral of the same village, except for some illnesses, inconvenient mobility, or special circumstances, and must not be absent. Otherwise, they are likely to be regarded as heretics and, to a large extent, condemned by public opinion.
Respect for the dead is a custom that has been passed down from the village for thousands of years and is deeply ingrained.
However, I was very surprised about the location of the burial site, Yan Shanshan was pretending to be a high priest, so she probably didn't know anything like feng shui, but I was surprised.
Yan Shanshan was very careful about the location of the burial, and according to my many years in the army, this location is a very suitable place to bury the corpse according to the humidity, demeanor, and illumination.
The humidity is suitable, coupled with the proper demeanor, which is very helpful for the preservation of the corpse, which is not easy to decay and grow maggots.
Those who died prematurely because of misfortune during their lifetime are too unfortunate when their bodies are still eaten by insects.
So Yan Shanshan chose very seriously, she really couldn't bear to watch these corpses being eaten by insects and ants.
Looking at her serious appearance, well, I smiled wisely, in fact, this Nizi is still quite kind-hearted.
On the afternoon of the funeral, when the sun was setting, on the hill behind Qiu Er Village, a group of people were crowded in the dark. Men, women, and children, each of them wore a piece of white cloth on their bodies and a white flower on their chests, but this seemingly bright flower, which represented the meaning of respect for the dead.
There are some seniorities in the village, and the old man who is in the upper grade leads the people and holds the funeral in an orderly manner.
Among this group of people wrapped in white, Yu Mengyao, Xu Wanwan, and Yan Shanshan and I were draped in pale red cloth, and we did not wear white flowers like the ones on the chests of the villagers.
Several people had a very heavy expression on their faces, after all, they were dead, and they would have some low emotions and be affected.
But when I looked at Yan Shanshan, I felt that this Nizi's expression was not so much heavy as expressionless......
I'm such a fool, I know that this guy is a woman incarnated by a cold-blooded polluting beast, why do I still have such big illusions about her.
But her careful choice of burial site is convincing......
I looked at her eyes closely, and they were very attentive and believable.
Suddenly, I stopped, paused in place, waiting for Yan Shanshan to walk up to me, because she is my servant, so she will pay attention to many things, such as some etiquette and the like, anyway, I have never seen her walk in front of me.
Seeing that I suddenly stood on my heels, Yan Shanshan came behind me and asked suspiciously.
"Master, what's the matter, is there anything you command?"
"It's fine, it's just that I'm wondering what you think of these dead people."
I subconsciously tried to test her words, but I was disappointed.
"These people mentioned by the master are all people who don't agree with me, and their life and death have nothing to do with me."
My eyebrows raised slightly, I wasn't making myself unhappy!
I'm so stupid, why would I have to come up with such an answer that the brain-dead know.
"Ah, that's ......"
I said it more subtly, Yan Shanshan was very smart, and she could see the question I wanted to ask at a glance, and she answered firmly.
"Because this is the master's order, you said that you should respect these deceased, so I paid more attention to the problems of the villagers and carefully selected a tomb."
Yan Shanshan is a polluted beast after all, and it doesn't seem to work much to tell her this.
It's just because I ordered it...... Slightly lost.
"No, I just wanted to ask."
Bite one's tongue......
Yan Shanshan preemptively answered my question.
"Master, do you want to say that I don't have something human?"
"Yes."
I nodded slightly.
Yan Shanshan continued.
"It's not nothing, after all, there is still a difference between me and the real spore polluted beast, but the master can also see that I have lost faith in the so-called human nature, and now I am like dead, I have basically become a shell, it seems to have an appearance, but in fact, there is no real thought, maybe this also has something to do with what happened to me when I was a child."
Yan Shanshan spoke softly, looking a little silent, but she didn't lie.
"I have another question, that is, since you are not a real wizard, you should not have the ability to read feng shui, I am curious how you chose this area for your tomb."
Yan Shanshan saw that I was a little confused, so she explained it to me.
"Master, this is not some feng shui, presumably according to the identity of the master's mecha warrior, I can also see that there is a reason, the humidity and temperature of this area are very suitable for preserving the corpse."
"Yes"
"Master, do you have any questions?"
My Vivi smiled.
"Nope."
At this moment, Xu Wanwan's Nizi suddenly yelled at me in front.
"Lin Mu, what are you two inking there, they have gone far away, how can you still ink there, otherwise you won't be able to bury in time, this is a great disrespect to the village chief."
At this moment, most of the villagers of Qiuer Village arrived at their destination, but only a few of us were lagging behind and still staying halfway up the mountain.
After all, a few of us are not residents of Qiu Er Village, and we are relatively obscure, so according to the rules of Qiu Er Village, we are not allowed to walk in front of the crowd or in the middle, we must be the end.
When I caught up with Xu Wanwan and Yu Mengyao.
"Lin Mu, what do you mean by saying that the fabric we are wearing on our bodies, it is still red, why is it so different from theirs, is it discriminating against us as outsiders?"
Xu Wanwan pouted and complained dissatisfiedly, after all, the color of this fabric was too conspicuous, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
"No, no, I think you may have completely misunderstood the meaning of this cloth, it is very likely that it is a kind of respect for the dead, or maybe it is a custom, a local custom."
Xu Wanwan glanced at me.
"Well, I don't know what customs, what legends like ghosts and gods, anyway, Miss Ben also put it on for the sake of the village chief's face, after all, I have been taken care of by him so much, and I am also sad about his death."
This Nizi finally said something that was worthy of praise.
Yes, that's right.
At this moment, Xu Wanwan suddenly crept to me, her big eyes stared at me deadly, and the corners of her mouth showed a trace of dissatisfaction, Weiwei asked suspiciously.
"Are you a hooligan beating up the ghost idea of my predecessor Yu Mengyao, and I will recruit Miss Ben from the truth."
Hey......
How can such a thing be said suddenly.
I held my lips in embarrassment, ready to go around and not talk about it.
"Look into my eyes, you bastard, don't run away from my questions."
"Say!"
Since the last scene was bumped into by Xu Wanwan, I have found that this Nizi has been watching me more and more tightly recently, just like a strict wife, always around my ears, buzzing.
"It's not what you think."
"Not ......"
Xu Wanwan's eyes suddenly became very sharp, and after she glanced at me, she looked at Yu Mengyao's senior, whom she respected.
The corners of his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Then you say, Meng Yao's predecessor is in good shape."
"Good!"
Xu Wanwan was stunned.
Turning up the volume, he continued to ask.
"Then what do you think of Meng Yao's seniors!"
When she asked this sentence, Xu Wanwan paused slightly, for some reason, her lips bit slightly, looking hesitant, and when Yu Mengyao on the side was still a little happy because of my first compliment, she was suddenly surprised by Xu Wanwan's unexpected question.
Yu Mengyao's body was also stunned.
Ahh
I became a little impatient and casually responded to her question.
"Yes, I think she is a very good person, not only is she beautiful and has a good figure, but she is also very gentle and considerate to boys."
I yelled at Xu Wanwan.
"It's better than someone, so it's not worth a thousand times, no, it's ten thousand times, it's not comparable at all, she's not like someone who knows how to yell all day long, and she doesn't know anything, and even cooks and has to be served by others to serve Lori, who is as proud and arrogant."
"Isn't someone just a little bit of a little bit of a place in that place, and I don't know where she is so confident in a day!"
Xu Wan was speechless with anger, and her face turned red.
Without saying a word, he walked away in a hurry.
Looking at the back of Xu Wanwan leaving, I secretly muttered in my heart, well, did I just say too much, too heavy.
