[535] Mengting's grandfather
/./ I'm used to flying now. I didn't fly because I was afraid that the plane would break down. For example, a bad part or something. But now I don't think so. In fact, the safety of the plane is quite high. I was afraid of it before I had ever been on a plane. But wait until you really tried it. Sat down. But I love its convenience and speed.
Sichuan Jue County is actually quite famous. Because the legendary hanging coffin of the servant is in Sichuan County. Speaking of the hanging coffin of the servant, I guess everyone knows it. But for now, let's give a quick explanation. The Servant people are an ancient ethnic group living in southwest China in the pre-Qin period, and the hanging coffin is one of the burial styles of the ancient ethnic minorities in southern China, which is one of the cliff burials. Dig several holes in the cliff and nail them to wooden stakes. Place the coffin on top of it.
To put it bluntly, people are dead. Don't bury it directly. Dig a hole in the cliff and throw the body in. This is actually a hanging coffin.
I arrived at noon the next day. Mainly transfer trains along the way or something. I won't go into details. Jue County is already a mountainous area. Between 600 meters and 1,000 meters above sea level. It covers an area of 1150 square kilometers. The total population is 410,000. It's not small. Not too much for a small town. Village.
The county looks just like a second- or third-tier city. But as I walked out of the station, a breath of fresh air hit. Seriously. The air here is really not comparable to those big cities. Feel the whole body feel comfortable in one breath. I'm not exaggerating. If you have friends who have lived in the city since childhood, you can go to remote rural areas to play. It's really good. No wonder those heroes in ancient times liked to find a paradise to live in.
As soon as I got out of the station, I took out the phone and called Li Mingyao. Li Mingyao answered the phone and I said, "Lao Li. I'm in Jue County. At the station too. Hurry up and pick me up."
"Hmm. Good. There is a hotel next to the station. You go and rest for a while. I'll be there in three hours." Li Mingyao hung up the phone after speaking. I looked left and right. Sure enough, there is a Jue County hotel next to it. I went inside and opened a room. It's really tiring after a day in the car. And he fell asleep.
I was woken up by a phone call. I'll pick it up and take a look. It was Li Mingyao who called. I picked up the phone and said, "Where are you now? Come to the front of the station." As soon as I heard that, I hung up. Get up and get dressed. Just out the door of this hotel. Take a look. Lee Myung-yao is standing at the entrance of the station.
It's been a long time since I've seen him. Now wearing a black t-shirt. Wearing a pair of jeans. Stand there and look left and right. I walked over to him. He seems to have seen me, too. He waved at me. Come over. Looking up and down, I said, "I haven't seen you in so long. It's a lot more mature."
I looked at the stubble on Li Mingyao's chin and nodded, "You're pretty much the same. Don't stay in Maoshan and run out to pick up girls. It's chic enough."
"It's hard to put into words." Li Mingyao sighed deeply. I saw that his eyes were full of vicissitudes. He's actually quite tired. Maoshan who has lived since he was a child, except for Li Shigao, no one is good to him. If only I had it. I'm going to go crazy.
"Let's go. Follow me to Wangjia Town first." After Li Mingyao finished speaking, he took my hand and walked to the side of a van not far from the station. Then he pulled me into the van.
There are no buses in Wangjia Town and Jue County. So only a van will do. And it's quite expensive. A trip costs more than fifty. Many local people would rather walk than ride in this van.
It's been quite bumpy along the way. Lee Mingyao and I were at the back of the van. There weren't too many people in the car. It's only four or five. Come to think of it too. More than fifty is really not a small number for people here.
I was in the car at the time. Lee Mingyao and the driver and three others. The three of them don't seem to know each other very well. They all look like they're in their twenties. Maybe it's because of boredom along the way. It's also a joke along the way. I don't know their names either. I'll just take passerby A for the time being. Passerby B. Passerby C will call them.
Passers-by A, B and C talked all the way. Suddenly, a topic appeared that I was interested in.
Passerby A said, "You know? We're in Wangjia Town with zombies right now."
"Huh. I heard about it some time ago. But is this a reliable thing?" Passerby B and Passerby C didn't seem to have heard of it. Asked at passerby A.
Passerby A suddenly showed the appearance that labor and management were the parties and said, "Hi. Nabs. You're asking the right person about it. Didn't that dream second brother of the dreamer die some time ago? The eldest of the Dream family came back to take care of his brother's funeral. I was stunned to make a beautiful hanging coffin."
"Isn't it now that the hanging coffin is buried?" Passerby C asked curiously. Passerby A smiled and said, "You don't understand this. Although now the government says not to let it. But there are policies and countermeasures. Get it quietly. The money is stuffed in place. Who cares if you have a coffin on the cliff. That's not the point. It's not unusual to just make a hanging coffin. But the blame is on his corpse."
When I heard this, I turned my head to look at Li Mingyao. Li Mingyao also shook his head slightly at me. I should have signaled me not to speak. The passer-by A continued: "The day of the burial was probably a month ago. It was dark clouds that day. The wind suddenly rose. The sun and the moon have no light."
"Dude, buddy. You get to the point." Passerby C asked.
"Holy. Do you understand. It's called detailing." Passerby A glanced at Passerby C and continued: "At that time, the moment the coffin was put up. There was a loud bang. A thunderbolt fell from the sky. At that time, the heavens and the earth changed color. The sun and the moon have no light."
"That's what you're talking about. That's not the case." The driver in front smiled. The driver looked supposed to be in his forties. Looks quite honest. He picked up a cigarette and took a puff. At this passer-by, A, B, and C continued: "In fact, the situation at that time was not just the sun and the moon. It's like the sky is falling apart. At that time, it was not a thunderbolt that hit the corpse one after another. This corpse has been baptized by thunder......"
I listened to the description of this driver master spitting on the air. It's getting more and more like fantasy. I turned my head to look at Lee Mingyao. Lee Myung-yao covered his mouth as if he wanted to laugh. But maybe it's because I feel that the current situation is too damaging to the driver's fantastic fantasy if I laugh.
Then Li Mingyao whispered in my ear. In fact, the time of burial is not so mysterious. The hanging coffin actually hung five meters on a cliff. Supported with two wooden sticks. The one who got up the corpse was the grandfather of Li Mingyao's girlfriend Meng Ting.
