Chapter 74: The Girls Who Disappeared

His attitude was much more relaxed than when he was in the cave, and he began to patiently explain to us what the ritual was all about.

Roughly speaking, their village is located in a very special location, and the ground is acidic. The coffin will be corroded and cleaned within two years of being buried in the ground.

Most of the food eaten by the people in the village is bought from outside, and they rarely grow it themselves.

Therefore, this kind of condition is naturally not suitable for burial in the village, so I can only find another way.

The people of the village called this cave the Pure Altar, because of the large number of crows circling inside, and the birds and snakes that eat carrion.

Whenever someone dies in the village, a ceremony is held here.

Pray that after the crows, snakes and insects eat up the carrion, they will be able to send the souls of the deceased to Elysium.

The custom sounds a little bloody, but it is somewhat similar to the heavenly burial in Tibet.

Sky burial is a traditional Tibetan funeral method in which the body is taken to a designated place for vultures to devour.

The core of the heavenly burial is the immortality of the soul and the reincarnation of reciprocation, death is only the separation of the immortal soul and the old body, is the different transformation of different spaces, the Tibetans respect the heavenly burial, is that the "skin" to feed the bearded vulture, is the most noble almsgiving.

Although what he said sounded reasonable, I was still suspicious when I thought about what I had just seen in the cave.

Moreover, this person's attitude before and after is also questionable, why after knowing that we are the guests of Wenpo's family, the attitude changed so much.

I inquired about Wen Po on the side, and then I learned that Wen Po was a barefoot doctor in the village in the early years, helping people to see doctors and deliver babies.

Later, I didn't know how to get out of the horse and helped people take care of what happened after death.

After a long time, there was only such an old man left in the village, and every family came to her if they didn't know anything about taboos.

After he finished speaking, he took out a wooden sword the size of his palm and handed it to me, saying that everyone who helped carry the coffin had to keep one.

This wooden sword is carved from the remnants of the coffin, so that the person carrying the coffin will not be disturbed by the soul of the deceased.

I didn't know much about these things, so I took it when he said it.

Who knows, the peachwood sword burned the moment it was placed in the palm of my hand. The man threw it to the ground, and watched as the peachwood sword was consumed by a burst of fire.

Lao Meng stepped on his feet and extinguished, "What's going on, why is it burning?" ”

The man looked at me with some horror, and hurriedly turned and ran down the hill, as if hiding from the plague god.

I also think it's very strange, how can it burn when I didn't encounter an open flame just now?

The three of us went back the way we came, and when we went back down the hill we found that the yard was empty.

The originally bustling courtyard was now quiet, and I suddenly had a bad premonition, so I ran in quickly, and found that Yu Nian and Na Wen Po were not there.

If it were a normal afterthought, I wouldn't be worried.

But now Yu Nian is seriously injured and is very easy to fall into danger. But the interior of the house is well decorated, and I don't want to have a fierce fight at all.

Just when my stomach was full of questions, the stable woman walked in with a few pieces of firewood.

"Grandma, where has this girl gone?"

She lifted her heavy eyelids, "Pack up your things and leave in the afternoon." ”

What the? Yu Nian is gone? Does this mean that she left without saying goodbye again?

"Did she say anything before she left? Or, if there is anything left for us, even if I am sorry for her, it is impossible for her not to say goodbye. "I deliberately said that tentatively.

The old woman said faintly, "She only told you not to look for her." ”

As soon as she said this, I knew that she was lying.

Yu Nian has always wanted to leave, if he really plans to leave without saying goodbye, it is impossible to leave anything for me at all.

And even if she stays, what she says must be related to bone nails, and there is no saying that I should not look for her.

Lao Meng didn't understand at this time, and asked me anxiously, "What's the matter, why don't you chase it now, she is injured and there is no traffic in this vicinity, so she shouldn't be able to go far." ”

I said, "Leave her alone, let her fend for herself, and let her make trouble if she wants to lose her temper." ”

I am sure that Yu Nian is still in the village, and this stable woman can't get rid of it.

The people in the village rarely do nocturnal activities, and after dinner, most of them make their beds early and prepare for bed.

Mao Tsai and Wen Po lived in the same room, and the room was vacated for me and Lao Meng and Tusuo.

After making sure that Wen Po was asleep, I quietly woke up Lao Meng.

Lao Meng was sleepy-eyed, and asked me in a blurred voice, "What's wrong, why don't you sleep?" ”

"Your heart is really big, and you still sleep? When are you still sleeping? ”

He struggled to sit up, lowered his voice and asked me, "What's the matter, why don't you sleep, don't you have to leave tomorrow?" ”

"Yu Nian must have been captured, we have to get them back tonight."

"What? Caught? Didn't she go on her own. ”

"What do you believe the old lady said? Okay, okay, don't go to sleep, take advantage of the night no one pays attention to us, hurry up and look around. ”

Old Meng yawned and went over to wake Tuso up.

As I was packing up, I noticed a layer of glass on top of the cabinet on the ground.

Under the glass is a thin green felt, which people used to lay out for fear of wearing out the lid of the cabinet.

But a corner peeked out of the glass, which looked like a photograph.

I looked back, and the lights weren't on. I carefully pulled the photo out of it.

The time on the photo clearly shows March 25, 2009.

The shadows of the trees are mottled in the bright moonlight, and the field of vision is narrow, and it looks like a picture taken from the well. The composition is weird, and the tone looks indescribably cold. I frowned, but when I turned around, I saw Lao Meng's face close to me, my hands trembled in fright, and I covered my heart and said, "You are sick, so close to me!" ”

Lao Meng picked up the mobile phone that fell on the kang and took a closer look at the picture. Outside the wellhead was a broken moon and some smoky gray clouds, and it was probably a cloudy evening.

"What is this, why are you casually rummaging through other people's things?"

I didn't know how to explain it to Lao Meng for a while, so I pulled the photo back and put it in, and looked for it myself.

Sure enough, under the plank, I found several more photographs taken on the same day, most of them landscapes, and judging by the time, the ones in the well were the last to be taken.

Judging from the furnishings in this house, it doesn't look like there is a love for photography.

Everything in this house belongs to the elderly and children, which means that there is no one else except Mao Zai and Wen Po.

The box pressed under the glass plate was locked, and I didn't open it for a long time.

Eventually, Tuso pushed me away and pulled the lock down with all his might.

The sound was so loud that I quickly pulled him to the ground and squatted on the ground.

Fortunately, the stable woman in that room didn't hear the movement, otherwise I am afraid that she would have startled the snake.

"Can you be quiet, what if it's exposed? Besides, you see you dragging other people's cabinets, what if people ask me to lose money? ”

Tu Suo couldn't get used to seeing me grinding and chirping, "Do you look at it or not, hurry up, if you don't leave, let me sleep, grind." ”

I didn't bother to talk to him, so I summoned Lao Meng to come over, and carefully pushed open the cabinet, but I saw something in it that surprised me.

This dilapidated and heavy old cabinet was filled with bags, cameras, high heels, mobile phones and cosmetics carried by girls.

I took a cursory look, and none of them were from the same person.

Could it be that this old lady still has a daughter? Or is it all stolen?

The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, so I took out a mobile phone and found that it was still charged.

After opening it, it was determined that it was a female college student in her twenties.

Judging from the photos, she came to this village three days ago, and the last circle of friends also said that the scenery here is very good, and she wants to live here for a while.

But after that, the phone never used again.

With less than five percent of the electricity, it can be seen that its owner never used it again.

"Damn, this old lady is quite rich." Lao Meng craned his neck to look at it and sighed.

I took out a small MCM satchel, opened it and showed Lao Meng the sanitary napkin inside, "This old lady has to be ninety?" Still using this thing? ”

Lao Meng glanced at it twice, but still didn't understand what I meant.

"Then you mean, where did these things come from?"

I closed the box and the glass lid back in place, "I don't know, but I think there must be something wrong with this village." ”

I took out those photos and looked at them repeatedly, and I always felt that the place on them was a little familiar.

Tuso glanced at it and said, "Isn't this the edge of that cave during the day?" ”

I'm not naturally sensitive to the environment and orientation, but Tuso grew up in the wild, so it's easy to tell.

I double-checked, "Can you tell where it is?" ”

"I'm talking loud, so I'd better shut up."

I didn't expect Tuso to hold a grudge, which will sell me off.

I was forced by the situation and had to bow my head, so I had to give in and say, "It's not big, it's not big, I'm talking loudly, it's all my fault." ”

Tuso took the photo from my hand and pointed to the first one, "This is the way up the mountain." This is the hole in the altar of some bullshit. ”

I quickly pressed the photo back under the glass pane and told Meng and Tuso to pack up and follow me.

The moon hung high outside, a bright patch.

But the villagers seemed to have fallen asleep, and no one noticed us.

When I happened to go out, I bumped into the hairy boy who came back from the toilet, and he asked us where we were going in a daze.

Tuso didn't say a word, and went up to knock the kid down, but I hurriedly stopped him.

If he hits this child with his big physique, this child is afraid that he will have to be paralyzed for the rest of his life.

I quickly explained that we were afraid of the dark, so we came out to pee and went back in a while.

He seemed to be half-asleep, and he answered in a daze.

We hurriedly touched it out and went straight to the back mountain.
