Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Funeral of Yellow Springs
Xiaoma looked at his grandfather and cried out with a wow, Su Yao frowned and persuaded him: "Your grandfather is alive and well, can you bear to send him to the cave?" Can't you send it? ”
"No." Xiao Ma wiped his tears and said: "This is the rule of our tunzi, every family must abide by it, otherwise the village chief will bring someone to arrest grandpa." ”
The sharp-faced woman also echoed: "And if the rules are broken, the feng shui array laid by the mourning master will not work, and this good day has not been a few days, and I am poor and blind again." ”
Su Yao let out a long sigh: "Ignorant, stupid." ”
I glanced at the old man on the kang, the old man's face was full of red light, but his expression was extremely numb, as if he had seen through life and death, and he didn't plan to live anymore.
Dead gray eyes looked at me, and the old man spoke: "I have lived for 70 years, and I am enough, it is time to go on the road and let my children and grandchildren enjoy happiness." ”
I was very uncomfortable to hear what he said.
The pointy-faced woman brought a black shroud, waited for the old man to put it on, took all the guys with him, and everyone went out, and under the cover of night, walked towards the back of the village.
The old man was caught in the middle, looking trembling, Su Yao and I followed, halfway through, I began to feel that something was wrong, I saw that the village under the snowy night, crowded, and villagers rushed over one after another to join the funeral procession.
The people who came were all young students, big girls and young men. Su Yao and I are fresh faces, so we are particularly conspicuous, giving all kinds of onlookers to those villagers, pointing at us and talking about it.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, I came to the foot of the old bald peak, I used my mobile phone to take a look forward, good guy, the rock wall is neatly like a mirror, there are two rows of caves up and down, almost all of which are sealed by bricks.
The village names stood in a circle at the end of the empty cave below, and the pony helped him into the cave and handed him a small wooden stool, a bag of oranges, and a small stove with charcoal.
Under the gaze of everyone, the grandfather sat in the cave calmly, trembling and peeling oranges to eat, and the sharp-faced woman held a bowl of white rice and covered the eggplant and put it at the grandfather's feet:
"Dad, you eat while it's hot, and I'll bring you food tomorrow."
Grandpa Ma didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't even raise his head.
The pony cried a few times, and the steward asked for a brick, plastered it with cement, and built it at the mouth of the hole.
The Ma family gathered over, squatting at the entrance of the cave to burn the dark coins and yellow mounted paper, and the miserable yellow fire light shone on Grandpa Ma's wrinkled old face, which looked particularly secretive.
"Daddy...... You can go with confidence! The pointy-faced woman shouted at the top of her voice.
All the villagers present shouted in unison: "Huangquan funeral!" Yellow Springs Funeral! ”
These four words, I listened to my heart, I came to the snow country to see it for a long time, and there was the absurd thing of burying the living.
However, these villagers are all ignorant and superstitious, and under the light of the fire, everyone's face looks very excited, and they shout madly: "Huangquan funeral ......"
Now there are too many people, it's hard to start, it's better to wait until midnight and then go into the cave to look for the yin lamp, Su Yao secretly stabbed me and signaled to leave.
The two of us were about to leave, when several figures suddenly appeared in the crowd and blocked our way:
"Village chief, I'm talking about them!" I heard a familiar voice, and at a glance, I grass! It's actually the pockmarked face from before!
He pointed at me and Su Yao, and said to the middle-aged man next to him: "They are sneaky, saying that they want to come to our village to find a nursing home, I will think that something is wrong, it must be the sworn enemy of Master Fu, who came to our tunzi to make trouble and destroy feng shui." ”
I was furious and pointed at him and said, "Don't spew blood, we are distant relatives of the Ma family, and we came to play." ”
Su Yao also glared at him angrily and said, "You took me a thousand yuan, and you were the one who brought us into the village, why don't you say this?" ”
The middle-aged man next to Mazi Face has a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, and looks a little majestic, it should be the village chief, look at the two of us, the village chief asked coldly: "Are you from the Ma family?" Right? ”
I looked back and saw that the Ma family had already hid in the crowd, and the sharp-faced woman was pulled out, stunned, she pointed to the two of us and said:
He ...... They are TV reporters! ”
A thunderbolt blew up all the villagers present, never expected that this woman turned her face faster than a book, in fact, as long as she bit her bite and didn't let go, she said that we are her relatives, and there will be nothing at all.
This betrayal to her was all over, Su Yao and I couldn't explain it when we jumped into the Yellow River, but I saw the village chief smile and point at me:
"Cut me to death! Finish cutting off the cave hole! ”
Immediately seven or eight strong guys rushed out, dragged me to the cave, my frightened legs were weak, and shouted at the top of my voice: "Murder!" ”
I immediately received a solid punch in the face, and the Venus in front of me was chaotic, Su Yao saw that the situation was wrong, exclaimed, and rushed up to save me, but was stopped by a group of rural women.
"What's going on with this little?" Someone asked the village chief.
"One piece is locked in." The village chief's voice fell, glanced at the pockmarked face next to him, and said with a smile: "Eat things inside and outside, what is your intention in luring outsiders to our village?" ”
"Master Fu said that the feng shui flow bureau in our village is precious, we must prevent villains from sabotaging, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the village, don't you know?"
Mazi complained with a face to steal the credit, but it turned out to be self-defeating, his whole body was crispy, and he knelt down and kowtowed to the village chief: "Uncle Chen, listen to me......"
"Say you, call me!"
A group of young men rushed up and punched and kicked Mazi in the face, the old boy was beaten badly, rolling on the ground with his head in his arms, and the pigs screamed again and again.
I wasn't spared, my face was pumped a few times, and my body was covered in footprints.
"Shall I grass you!"
In a hurry, I grabbed a bald head by the neck and punched him twice in the face, which resulted in an even more severe beating.
A few minutes later, I lay on the snow panting, my face was hot and painful, and I was ghosted, but fortunately, those women looked at Su Yao and didn't want to touch her.
Su Yao and I, along with the three of them with pockmarked faces, were pushed and shoved into a cave, and the villagers began to lay bricks at the entrance of the cave.
Looking at this posture, they were going to bury us both alive.
Su Yao's eyes were red, but the little white fox was recuperating from his injuries at this time, and he couldn't make a move at all, in the face of the siege of so many villagers, how could Su Yao's little illusion be enough?
These grandsons are all skilled workers, and the bricklaying speed is very fast, and there are two layers inside and out, so they don't plan to leave a living hole at all.
Several middle-aged women holding pitchforks were on guard outside the cave, and Su Yao pulled me to rush a few times, but they were all forced back.
After a while, the last brick was laid dead, and the cold cave fell into darkness.
Su Yao took out her mobile phone, took a picture of my face, and shed tears sadly: "These brutes, beat you like this, you see, these people don't deserve to live in this world, if I can get out alive, sooner or later, I will have to raze this village one day." ”
When I told her this, my heart was warm, and the wound on my face was not so painful, so I smiled reluctantly: "If my sister doesn't cry, we will definitely be able to go out." ”
Mazi sat down on the opposite side with a slumped face, and said to me: "Child, do you have smoke?" ”
I rushed up and looked at him on the head and feet: "Bad calf, do you still have the face to smoke?" If you hadn't complained to the village chief, would we have been locked up in the cave? ”
This grandson was stupid to a degree, I kicked him twice, he was still not convinced, he stood up to fight me, pockmarked face is more than 30 years old, and his body is stronger than me, thinking that he can beat me:
"Okay, don't live! I'll kill you a cub first, and then in front of you, I'll slowly clean up Miniko, hahaha! "In the extreme environment, the ugliness of human nature is undoubtedly revealed, and Mazi smiled maniacally and waved her fists at me.
He underestimated me too much, I, Li Zhiwen, have lived until now, how many bloody battles have I experienced in order to protect my sister? Can't even you clean it up?
Su Yao was lighting me on the side, and she also knew that Mazi Face was not my opponent, so there was no need to help, so I avoided it sideways, and my backhand was a heavy punch, which smashed firmly on the chin of Mazi Face.
His body shook, but he hadn't fallen yet, I opened the bow left and right, rushed up and punched a combination punch, and the anger that was violently beaten by the villagers just now was all vented on the pockmarked face!
Stupid to stupid, pockmarked face is quite experienced in fighting, with his head down and covered me with the heavenly spirit, I grabbed his hair and smashed it on the bridge of his nose, and after a few rounds, the deflated calf couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground heavily.
I gasped, touched half a brick from the corner of the wall, and rode on Mazi Face, ready to make him comfortable, but Mazi Face was covered with blood from my beating, crying and begging for mercy:
"Brother, don't fight, you listen to me."
I lifted the brick and was about to smash it down, when Su Yao suddenly booed: "Listen! There are footsteps inside! ”
This cave is also five square meters large, the entrance of the cave is sealed with bricks, and there is an earthen wall on the opposite side, I listened with my ears pricked up, and sure enough, I heard heavy footsteps behind the earthen wall.
Maybe it's the surviving old people, there should be a corridor-like space behind the earthen wall, and the old people are walking in it or something?
I threw away my pockmarked face, came to the wall and knocked on it, it felt quite thin, took a few steps back, and kicked it up!
The earthen wall was kicked into a hole, and it was pitch black inside, and a biting cold wind blew in.
Su Yao and I worked hard together, kicked the wall down, and walked in to take a look, only to see that there was a wide space inside, and there were some old people wandering in the dark corridor.
This is the legendary Snow Country Nursing Home! Originally, I thought that the cave was sealed, and who knew that there was a cave behind the wall.
With the help of my mobile phone, I looked around, and the location we are in now is a bit similar to the hospital lobby, the corridor is very spacious, and there are large and small caves on both sides, compared to the intricate terrain on the ninth floor of the water plant, it seems simple and much safer.
But soon, I saw that something was wrong.
The old people wandering in the corridor, undressed, walked in a very strange way, their joints seemed to be rusty, and with each step, there would be a slight fracture sound in their bodies.
In the extremely cold environment of minus twenty or thirty degrees, ordinary people are naked and can't hold on for a minute.
It can only be said that these old people are already corpses.
"Zombies!" Su Yao looked at those old men and retreated in horror: "The old immortal showed it just now and said that these things are zombies!" ”
"And besides zombies, there are even more terrifying things hidden here!"
I got goosebumps and quietly retreated into the cave.
Looking down and thinking for a while, I grabbed the hair of the pockmarked face, pulled him up, and I said viciously, "You lead the way ahead." ”
