【040】Tree burial

Before Mr. Li's words fell, someone asked eagerly, "Grandpa Han, did you see that awning boat?" "Immature tone, it was Xiao Ming who asked.

Old Man Han smiled and said, "In that situation, it would be good to be able to escape, how could I have the opportunity to see the surrounding situation?" However, in the following years, there were several major incidents, all of which were related to the awning boat. ”

"Oh, tell me about it."

Old Man Han smacked his lips, his small eyes flashed abnormality again, and then he said slowly: "People! You can't be greedy, once you are greedy. It couldn't be more wrong, a few years ago! In the bay, men fish and reclaim wasteland, and women take care of housework at home, sewing and mending, and taking their children up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. But later, when someone saw a canopy boat appear in the lake, they wanted to keep it for themselves, and deliberately waited for the awning boat to appear, but as a result, people with such selfish motives disappeared for no reason. Then I wondered if the two fresh tombs I saw when I first came here had a direct connection with them. I did it when I thought of it, because I was still listened to, and with my interference, the number of missing people gradually decreased. ”

"So that's it?" Zhiqing suddenly realized.

"Alas! What is the picture of a person's life? My team and I didn't want their money, and we didn't want their profits. The picture is the backbone, and our team has the backbone. When the old man talked about the emotion, his small eyes were shiny and moist.

"That's it!" Someone chimed in.

"Alas! Immortals fight, mortals suffer. This sentence is true, that dog's day of murder without blinking, it's a river of blood! It is said that the entire people of Sichuan have been killed, what should I do if there is no one in Sichuan? Some troops tied up the Huguang people and sent them to Sichuan, forcing them to reproduce there and pass on the human race. ”

"Oh!" The people sitting in the room were all attracted by the stories told by Mr. Han, and they were fascinated by the stories they listened to one by one. There was silence, as if it was some kind of meeting.

Old man Han, squinting his eyes, contentedly enjoying the feeling of being noticed. "Hi Hi! Old arms and legs, useless. It's just that there is a little stock in the stomach that is still a little useful, and if you like me, the family should think I'm nagging. ”

"Haha!" The crowd burst into laughter again. Someone came in from outside, and the laughter stopped abruptly. People's attention is on the person who comes in, and the person who comes in is vanilla.

She was ashen and sweaty, and she didn't have time to wipe it off yet. "Uncle Chen, brother!" She looked at Old Man Han and hurriedly shouted, "Hello grandpa!" ”

Old Man Han felt that his eyes flashed and fixed on Vanilla, his mouth curled, his small eyes narrowed and said, "Is this a fairy descending to earth, such a handsome girl!" ”

"Haha......" The old man's words broke out into laughter again, and Vanilla was so embarrassed that his face was as bright as the wild begonias on the mountain.

The old man smacked his lips, and the laughter stopped again. Instead of squinting his eyes this time, he puffed out a pair of eyeballs and said with a look that people would never forget at a glance: "Have you ever heard the story of people eating human flesh?" ”

Sweat! The old man's words frightened the big guy. Everyone looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you. It was so quiet for a while that there was no coughing sound.

Zhiqing felt that this was what the old man wanted to say. "Speak, old man, we ...... listen," he encouraged.

Old Man Han paused, took another sip of tea, and looked serious. Glancing at the people sitting one by one, he cleared his throat and said slowly: "I think that those routs were caused by hunger to kill each other, and then one by one they became food in their respective stomachs, and finally disappeared. And under those freshly planted branches, there must be their skeletons buried. ”

Old Man Han had a mysterious and abnormal demeanor, plus the content of the story he said. Hearing this, everyone was covered with goosebumps, and even the back of their heads felt cold, as if there was a ghost standing behind them.

"Tree Burial ?!!!!!" Zhiqing said in astonishment.

Ancient tree burials are quite common in ethnic minority areas in northeast and southwest China! In modern times, in order to green the environment, people bury the ashes of their relatives under trees.

The topic is not far away, let's talk about the story told by Mr. Han.

When he heard Zhiqing say about the tree burial, he didn't seem to understand much, but he shook his head so gently. The vertical beard trembled slightly, and his face darkened: "This secret has been entangled in my heart for a lifetime, and no one has helped me unravel it, so I have been waiting and waiting, and finally waiting for you to come." I heard from my fourth-generation baby that there was a great Mr. Ghost Hunter and a scholar who were going to an uninhabited desert island to find out the secrets, and when I was happy, I called him to bring me. If you find out this secret and reveal it to the world, I should ...... too."

"Old man, you have a long life, as long as you have a good attitude, it is better than anything else!"

I don't know if the old man is deliberately pretending to be reckless, or what! He didn't seem to hear Li Laoqi's words, but just puffed up a pair of eyes and stared at him woodenly. He kept pouting his nose and moving his mouth, revealing his toothless gums, tilting his head sideways, turning his ears to him, straightening his neck and asking, "Are you talking to me?" ”

The old man may be tired to behave like this, otherwise how to explain it, he was fine just a few minutes ago, why did he suddenly become sluggish and clumsy? Even his hearing was problematic in an instant, and in the next few seconds, no matter who spoke, he was so demented looking at a place in a daze, that he didn't say a word.

The old man's fourth-generation great-grandson was frightened, and hurriedly helped him out of Li Laoqi's house. Looking at the back of the old man leaving, Zhong Kui's face became gloomy. The old man is very much like his grandfather, and before he left, his grandfather also talked so much......

Surprisingly; On this night, the old man passed away suddenly. At; 109 years old!

The old man has lived in an ordinary environment all his life, and he told the story of his life in front of Zhiqing and them. He did not take the secret to the earth, but to give it to those who needed it. Whoever needs this secret will help him unravel the mystery of an uninhabited desert island.

The old man had never been sick in his life, and he left the world with a faint smile on his face in his deep sleep! The old man's funeral was very solemn, and all the mountain people in Dead Water Bay wore linen and filial piety, and sent him to the highest point where they could see the peaks on the other side of the lake.

After the old man's funeral was over, Vanilla said what she was going to say to Zhong Kui.

Herbs are supposed to have the effect of controlling toxins.

But I don't know what happened to the livestock, and they're still dying. The dead livestock, under the command of Wengen, were buried deep in the ground.

If the herbs were not effective, all the children in Backwater Bay were relieved after drinking the medicinal soup.
