Chapter 507: The Tomb That Exploded

This middle-aged man who suddenly found the village, claiming to be the son of the old man, has been staying in the old house where his father lived since he came to this village, and it has not been more than three days to be full, but it is such a short three days, and when I see him again, he has become so miserable.

No one had ever seen this middle-aged man before, and the middle-aged man was alone when he came, and no one knew how he had found him, or whether he was the old man's son or not.

But the situation in front of them made everyone in a dilemma.

What to do?

A man of this age, whether he is the son of an old man or not, should already have a family, notify his family?

It is reasonable, but no one in the village recognizes this middle-aged man, only that he and the deceased old man have the same surname, but in such a big country, there are too many people with one surname, and looking for the family of this middle-aged man, even if the whole village gathers the strength of the whole village, there is no way to find it.

And most importantly, the death of this man is so horrific that the old people in the village can be regarded as having experienced the world, they have seen all kinds of deaths, some people were hit by carriages, some people were starved to death, some people fell from the cliff and fell to their deaths, and even were bitten to death by wild beasts, or they were killed by bandits.

But the situation of the middle-aged man in front of him is different from the situation of those who died.

To be precise, this middle-aged man seems to have been bitten to death by some wild beast, and when the village chief came, he asked the neighbors and his wife, and they said that the door was ajar at that time, and it may be that the man forgot to close the door when he was sleeping at night, and as a result, some wild beast broke in through the door in the middle of the night.

Then the middle-aged man was bitten to death directly in the room, but in the past three days and time, the couple lived next door, and they didn't hear any sound from this room at all, even if they were attacked by wild beasts, it stands to reason that there should be screams.

The village chief inquired several times, but there was only one conclusion from the couple, that is, these two people had not heard anything at all, and the couple thought that the middle-aged man had been in the old man's room for two days, and he was sad enough, so he came out.

After all, the relatives who were finally found don't know how much effort and time it spent.

But when it was hard to find it, he found that his father had passed away, and it may have taken this middle-aged man ten or twenty years, and even since he became an adult, he has not given up searching, but now he has ended up with such a result.

Anyone can imagine how happy this man must have been when he finally found a little clue and learned that his father was in this village.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, the villagers can imagine that when this man walked into the village, his face was still full of anticipation, but after he learned the news that the old man had passed away, his heart should have been shocked, it was a feeling of years of hope shattered.

"Iniquity!"

Several village elders sighed, saddened by the father-son experience, and waved their hands at the crowd.

Although the people in the village are relatively poor, in the face of such a situation, whether it is for the sake of this child who has spent more than ten years looking for his biological father, or for the sake of the face of this middle-aged man's old father, it is impossible to leave the body of this middle-aged man here.

However, the people in the village didn't have much money, so they found a carpenter in the village, and everyone worked together to build another coffin for the middle-aged man, and they didn't set up a mourning hall or anything, after all, this family has no relatives in the village, and it is not the same thing to put the body of this middle-aged man here.

After a hasty cleanup, the village chief found a few people to carry the middle-aged man up the mountain, preparing to bury the middle-aged man next to his father's grave.

However, the matter is far from over.

At that time, it was the village chief who took seven or eight men up the mountain to bury the middle-aged man, but when he walked to the old man's grave, he couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the scene in front of him.

Previously, the villagers chose a good cemetery for the old man, not only buried the old man, but also erected a tombstone for the old man, but when the village chief and his party came here again, they found that they didn't know who destroyed it.

The tombstone fell to one side, and the old man's grave collapsed, and at the back of the grave there was a large hole, and from the outside, it looked as if the old man's grave had suddenly exploded.

The old man is not young, and when he dies, he can be considered to be buried peacefully, and a lonely and miserable thing can also be said to be a kind of joyful mourning, but now the old man's grave has become like this, I have to say that the village chief and his party who saw all this were frightened.

After the death of the villagers, they are generally buried on this hill, and they have never encountered such a thing.

In the past, someone's grave had been left behind, but after investigation, it was found that it was not a human who had dug up the grave, but a wild animal.

The people in the village are not rich people, it can be said that they are all a group of civilians, and there are no rare objects that can accompany the burial, the only thing that is worth a little money, that is, the longevity clothes that the old man wore on his body before he died.

The grave is also very simple, that is, dig a big pit in the ground, then put the coffin directly inside, cover it with soil, and then set up a tombstone in front of the tomb, this tombstone If you have money, you can only find a piece of wood to engrave the name of the deceased, and put it there, so that people know who is buried here.

If, after many years, no one takes care of it, the wood rots, or is dragged away by some wild animal, the grave bag looks like a lonely mound.

Wolves are creatures that sometimes bury some food in the ground, and occasionally when there is nothing to eat, they will run to the grave to dig up the grave of the dead, but this kind of thing is not very common, and within more than ten years of the expiration of the period, the people in the village have not encountered such a thing.

Of course, even if you encounter it, you can't say anything, after all, the beast doesn't know words, and you can't reason with it.

But the situation in front of him was different, the old man's grave was not like the wolf dug out, it really seemed to have been blown open from the inside, although the grave had been filled with a lot of earth, but the depression in the ground made it possible to stand by and see the coffin in the pit.

And the most important thing is that the old man's coffin is not complete, the coffin board is broken into several pieces, scattered around, at first everyone did not pay attention, and when they noticed this situation, the village chief's face instantly sank.

", which guy who lacks virtue did it?"

The village chief is not young, and when he saw this scene in front of him, he immediately blew his beard and glared, if he knew who did it, he would definitely beat him into a ball.

Needless to say, the situation in front of me was definitely not done by some wild beast, the beast dug the grave, it was that there was nothing to eat, or there was some other purpose, and at most it was to dig a small hole in the back of the grave, but in the current situation, rats and wolves could not do this at all.

Unless it is a blind bear, but this person who lives in the old mountain forest has never heard of the blind bear and the hobby of digging graves.

Then there is only one possibility left, this is a human doing, the village chief at that time thought so, but at that time it was too late to say this.

"You two go and see, what happened to my brother's body? If nothing happens, put the coffin board together and cover it, and go back to the carpenter to get another one. ”

With a wave of his hand, the village chief put the middle-aged man's coffin into a pit that had been dug on the side, and two people came out, hesitantly preparing to go down to the old man's grave to take a look.
