Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Eerie Truth
When I told him what I was going to do, I heard that we were looking for a nursing home, and the pony's face turned white and he stretched out his hand and pushed me out: "You two go quickly!" ”
Seeing that the pony has a very generous face, he should not be a bad person, and he kindly reminded us: "You don't know, our village has rules, no outsiders are allowed, let other villagers see, you two will be finished." ”
Su Yao asked him suspiciously, "Why?" ”
The pony pushed me, "Not why. ”
It's not easy to come all the way here, how can I go, I said in front of the door: "Brother, listen to me, let me into the house first?" ”
Just as we were at a stalemate, several figures appeared in the village in the distance, as if looking at this place, and the pony stamped his feet and shouted badly, quickly got out of the way, and beckoned to us: "Come in, let people see it." ”
Su Yao and I entered his yard, and the pony closed the door with his backhand, panting and looking at us vigilantly: "How did you find this?" What do you want to do in a nursing home? ”
Su Yaomei's eyes rolled and deliberately lied to him: "Let's be honest, we are reporters from the TV station, and we received a report from the masses that the Snow Township Nursing Home is ...... There is a problem, so come to investigate and prepare to expose this matter. ”
This guy is an honest man at first glance, and when he said this to Su Yao, his teeth trembled with fright: "No, I don't know, don't ask me, I don't know anything." ”
Isn't there three hundred taels of silver here?
I smiled and threw him a cigarette, hugged him and said, "Let's go into the house and say, you tell us what you know, and the TV station will give you a certain reward in the later stage." ”
The pony was awkward and took us into the main house, and there was nothing to introduce about the layout inside, it was a very ordinary rural family in the Northeast.
On the big earthen kang in the bedroom, there was an old man, who was smoking a pot, and there were several elderly sisters in the kitchen, who were busy cooking.
"Where did these two children come from? Who put it in? ”
Pony hesitated, then pointed at us and said, "They're TV reporters. ”
Among them, there was a sharp-faced woman, who looked a little disbelieving, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Which TV station, press card?" ”
Su Yao reacted quickly and replied fluently: "This is an unannounced visit, the organization has regulations, you are not allowed to bring a press card with you, it is all in the interview car, why don't you accompany me to pick it up?" ”
The sharp-faced woman was stunned, seeing that Su Yao's answer was like a stream, showing no fear, the woman's momentum suddenly withered, and she didn't make any more noise.
"What's going on? Let the people in the village know that none of us can escape. "Our presence has made it difficult for these rural women, and some people whispered.
"Tonight, my family is going to have a funeral, are you two going to make an unannounced visit?" The pointy-faced woman asked.
I said casually, "Where to go for the funeral?" ”
Sharp-faced woman: "A nursing home." ”
Su Yao and I looked at each other, their faces were not quite right, this village is peaceful on the surface, but there is a deep and treacherous mystery hidden in it!
Rest home? Is that the place where the funeral will take place? There is no logic at all in what the woman said.
The pony lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, when someone asks, they will say that they are my relatives, and they will play here in the New Year, won't it be over." ”
The pointy-faced woman hesitated: "Relatives can't do it either, right?" ”
Su Yao took a step forward with her chest straight, and her momentum was aggressive: "Don't be sneaky, hide it, tell the truth as soon as possible, what is so bad about the nursing home, I can warn you, the relevant departments will intervene later, don't regret it when the time comes." ”
The sharp-faced woman shrank her neck in fright: "What's the matter?" Then you have to go to jail? ”
Su Yao sneered: "Nonsense! ”
In fact, she is also confused in her heart, at present, we don't know anything about the situation in the nursing home, so we can only follow the words of these old ladies and make it up to scare them.
As far as these people are thieves, fools can see that something bad must have happened in the nursing home.
The eldest sisters present heard that they were going to prison, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything, gritted their teeth, and the sharp-faced woman said to the pony:
"Say it."
The pony looked at us: "Actually...... There are no nursing homes at all. ”
"The nursing home you've heard of is actually a tradition of ours, the self-dying kiln, have you heard of it?"
My scalp exploded, and when my father was still alive, I heard him talk about rumors of self-death kilns, and some remote villages would send old people to self-death kilns and let them fend for themselves in them.
This despicable habit is still preserved in a small number of rural areas.
I never dreamed that Wang Yan deceived us! The nursing home she was talking about turned out to be a self-death kiln hidden in the primeval snow-capped mountains!
The scariest thing is that if you think about it, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two, and in a way, nursing homes are worse, and there are a lot of news about beatings and elder abuse.
Xiaoma told us that as long as the elderly in their village are over 70 years old, regardless of whether they are healthy or not, they will be sent to the self-death kiln, which is a bit similar to the kiln houses in rural Shaanxi, with independent holes dug out in the mountain wall, and after the old man lives in, his family will bring him a meal every day.
Every time a meal is delivered, a brick is laid at the entrance of the cave, and when the bricks are full and the entrance of the cave is sealed, the family members no longer care.
It just so happened that today's pony's grandfather is 70th birthday, and tonight they are ready to go out of the funeral and send the grandfather to the kiln.
After listening to him, a chill surged in my heart, so that is to say, the yin lamp that Wang Yan named was in the self-death kiln.
"What kind of bullshit tradition is this? He is your own grandfather, if you treat him like this, can your conscience live? One day you will be old, and your family will do the same to you? Su Yao pointed to the old man on the kang and loudly reprimanded the pony.
The pony's lips twitched twice: "I don't want to, but every family in our village does this......"
The more I listened, the more I felt that something was wrong, if I remember correctly, the kiln of self-death is a bad habit in Yunnan, Sichuan, I have lived in the Northeast for more than 20 years, and I really haven't heard of anyone doing this.
"When did your village start to build a self-death kiln?" I stared at the pony.
"Two years ago."
"Who taught you?"
Pony hesitated for a moment, and replied, "There was a man in a black paper coat and a paper umbrella, who came to us one day, and that man claimed to be surnamed Fu and was a feng shui master. ”
My scalp buzzed, and I looked at Su Yao, her face turned pale, who would have thought that everything was a ghost caused by Fu Taiping!
He bewitched the villagers, and the purpose of building the self-death kiln was probably to collect the death qi of those old people to practice the Yellow Spring Out-of-Body Decision!
Although I don't know much about the Huangquan out-of-body decision, one thing is certain, it is a kind of evil law that has lost all human morality, and choosing to practice it also confirms the person who mourns the peace.
Isn't he afraid of being retributed?
Su Yao held the incense cheek in his hand and asked, "Master Fu asked you to repair the self-death kiln?" ”
Xiaoma nodded: "Yes, at first the people in the village were unwilling, he said that this would be of great benefit to Tunzi, this is a feng shui flow bureau that he deliberately arranged, as long as the cave is repaired, it will ensure that the family will get rich overnight." He also patiently gave us work, Master Fu said, human life is determined by heaven, ancient people lived to be thirty years old, even if they lived a long life, now the material conditions are better, many old people live past seventy, but they don't know, this is a great sin against heaven. In the future, going to the underworld is not conducive to reincarnation. ”
"From a practical point of view, the seventy-year-old man, lost the ability to work, can only become a burden to the family, rather than this, it is better to build them a home, so that people and nature can finally form a real unity, many beasts, before dying, will choose, go to a secluded place, quietly wait for death, this is the truth."
These words shocked me and Su Yao when I heard them, and when I thought of Fu Taiping's gloomy face, I wanted to retch in disgust.
A person can be so bad that it is unexpectedly bad.
Xiaoma thought for a while and added: "Anyway, that day, Master Fu called all the villagers and said a lot of big truths, some of which I didn't understand, so I didn't remember, at that time he was quite prestigious in the tunzi, usually not only looking at feng shui, but also looking for him when the people in the tunzi were uncomfortable. ”
"Let's go back and think about it, and I feel that what he said, although extreme, has some truth, and it is indeed that. The location of our tunzi is partial, and the road is not repaired, and the tourists do not come at all, so that our life is also very difficult, and then everyone summed up, decided to do what the mourning master said, guess what, not long after the cave was repaired, the old earth mine in the west of the village, began to produce gold......"
"Hell yes, the old earth mine was abandoned decades ago, how can there be gold in it?"
Pony talked endlessly, from the time the villagers found the gold, to the beginning of the distribution of the spoils, and the fact that they lived a rich life, from beginning to end.
I listened absent-mindedly, and suddenly thought of something, and immediately interrupted him: "Master Fu is still in the village?" ”
Pony: "He's long gone, and before he left, he said that as long as the kiln continues to be repaired since death, the good days will not stop." ”
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with my and Su Yao's current abilities, even if it was a fake body of Fu Taiping, it would be more than lucky.
If the little white fox is here, it may be able to hold on, but at the moment, it is still recuperating in Su Yao's body, and it can't be used at all.
The Ma family prepared some food, and we casually padded some food, and finally waited until it was dark, and the sharp-faced woman came in and greeted her:
"The hour has come, ready for the funeral!"
