Chapter 73: The Cavern

After about an hour or so, Wen Po came back, with a little boy about twelve or thirteen years old.

After a brief conversation, I learned that the little boy's name was Mao Zai, and he was the grandson of Wen Po.

Mao Zai's personality is innocent and lively, and he is very willing to communicate with others.

But I can still tell that he is still a little afraid of Wen Po. Whenever Wen Po passed by, Mao Zai would unconsciously sit up straight and close his mouth.

When I saw Wen Po coming back, I knowingly asked, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

Her eyes were slightly closed, and she sat on the kang and dangled back and forth, "It's okay, is the girl in that room awake?" ”

I realized that the girl she was talking about was Yu Nian, so I quickly replied, "Wake up, mother-in-law is looking for her?" ”

As she spoke, she came to the cabinet and took out a sachet from it, and I sniffed it carefully, and the indescribable smell in the room was emitted by this sachet.

"That girl's eyebrows are entangled with black gas, most likely because she has caused something unclean, and she brought this with her to ward off evil spirits."

I didn't say much, just nodded and accepted.

When I looked up and saw the painting on the wall, Wen Po happened to see me staring at the painting, and asked casually, "Grandma, what is this painting, it looks weird and scary." ”

Mao Tsai ran into the house to drink water at this time, "This is what my grandfather painted, the corpse cave in the north of Yin Mountain." ”

Wen Po glanced at Mao Zai, and Mao Zai was silent. I felt a little familiar, so I followed the question and asked, "What is the corpse cave?" Is it so scary? ”

Wen Po dragged her legs and slowly got on the kang, and said slowly, "It's just a legend, it's a cave now, it's not unusual." ”

I suddenly remembered that the Chen brothers on the mountain just now seemed to be about to throw people into that corpse cave, and it seemed that it was probably a mass grave or something.

This old woman is silent here, maybe there is something hidden.

During the day, the funeral in the courtyard is estimated to be completed, and many people come to carry the coffin to the burial.

I've seen burials in the countryside before, but the customs of this village are somewhat different.

Originally, the deceased was a large and a small person, and it stands to reason that two coffins should be prepared. But the strange thing is that before the burial, I only saw one bite in the yard, and it was still the size of a child.

I inquired among the villagers and found out that the dead daughter-in-law had bought it from outside. After being helped in the village for a few years, she became insane, and after giving birth to a child, she was much more honest, except for eating and sleeping every day, and the family saw her admit her fate, and they all relaxed their vigilance.

It is said that people who die like this are not worthy of going to the ancestral grave, and last night the family had already removed her from the coffin, swept her away with a straw mat and threw her away.

I asked, "Did you lose it in the corpse cave?" ”

The man hurriedly stopped me with a serious expression, "Don't talk nonsense, Wen Po heard it, but I'm going to trouble you." ”

The whole village of me is mysterious, and there is an abnormal energy.

Just before the child's coffin was about to be sent away, a man in the crowd said, "Wen Po, we don't have enough manpower, and we still have one short." ”

Wen Po knocked the dry tobacco stick on the sole of her shoe twice, "Waste, this can't be done!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at us, looked at us, and asked, "Are there any people present who belong to the five elements of the earth?" ”

I suddenly thought that when my dad was fine, he always used my birth date to calculate, saying what kind of business should I do with the five elements of the earth.

I hurriedly raised my hand, and Wen Po glanced at me, "Okay, that's you, but you can't do it alone, you have to take your two brothers to help us with this, and we didn't save you in vain." ”

I didn't understand what the old lady meant, but she was right, and anyway, if the people of the village didn't bring us back, we might all have to stay and bake on the edge of the lake.

I went back and called Lao Meng and Tusuo, and handed Yu Nian the sachet that Wen Po gave me before, she looked at me puzzled, I explained, "This is given to me by that Wen Po, she said that you were entangled in something unclean, and I want you to use it to ward off evil spirits, do you see that this thing is a little strange?" ”

Yu Nian only took it and weighed it for a while, then sneered, "Okay, I know, you tell her that I accepted it." By the way, it's noisy outside, what are you going to do? ”

"The two ladies in the courtyard are going to be funeral in a while, and Tusuo Lao Meng and I will go to help."

Yu Nian frowned, "Help?" How can you help? ”

I shook my head, "I don't know, you don't have to worry about us." There's a tuso, it's fine. Rest well, I'll be right back. ”

Yu Nian thought for a moment, pulled the bone umbrella out of the cuff and handed it to me, "Hide it in your sleeve, it will protect you if the situation is critical." ”

She once said that guarding this bone umbrella is the ultimate meaning of her voice. For such a long time, except when she was rescued in the medical car, she never left the bone umbrella at other times.

I looked at the bone umbrella and suddenly smiled. She was inexplicably laughed at by me, "What are you laughing at?" ”

I didn't think about bowing my head and kissing her, and hurriedly ran out before she was mad, "You have a good rest, I'll be back soon." ”

After asking Wen Po, I learned that she asked me to go up the mountain to help carry the coffin.

I don't know what is particular about this village, it is said that after the five elements of water people die, they have to find five earth people to carry the coffin, so that the next life can be better.

Tusuo and Lao Meng followed the crowd at the back of the line, while I and three other men, tall and short, and thin, carried the coffin up the hill.

The strange thing is that Wen Po did not accompany her, only a thin man with a beard.

As I walked, I felt that the road under my feet had become very steep. This foot may be on the ground, and the next foot may be into a deep ditch. From the bottom of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, just a few hundred meters, my back was wet with sweat.

On the other hand, the people in front of them walked very freely, as if they were very familiar with this kind of terrain and had been here several times.

We carried the coffin up the hill and were led by the thin man to a cave.

The cave was unusually quiet, and after walking less than thirty meters, there was a cliff in front of it.

When he reached the edge of the cliff, the thin man suddenly took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth twice, and then spit at the bottom of the cliff. Then he put his hands together and knelt down very reverently and began to pray.

Lao Meng squeezed up to me from the crowd and asked me, "What's the matter, why are you still kneeling?" ”

"I don't know, let's see first."

After a while, the man on the ground stood up and beckoned us to throw the coffin down.

I was a little surprised if I had heard it wrong, this cliff was twenty or thirty meters high, and if it was thrown down like this, not to mention that the coffin was broken, even the corpse might not be able to remain intact.

But the people who carried the coffin with me didn't seem to think about it, and walked straight towards the cliff.

At that moment, I suddenly felt as if something had moved in the coffin.

I hurriedly stopped everyone, "Wait a minute, there seems to be movement in the coffin!" ”

Everyone turned a deaf ear, and I hurriedly called Lao Meng and Tusuo, "Stop the people for me, there seems to be a living creature in the coffin!" ”

But at this moment, the three men had already thrown the coffin at hand, and if I didn't let go in time, I was afraid that I would have to be thrown down together.

"You're murder! The people inside are obviously still moving! ”

The thin man suddenly stood up in front of me and reminded me, "Young man, I advise you to leave our housework alone. Since the child's grandmother has agreed, it means that the child is dead, and it is useless for you to say anything at this time. ”

I grabbed everyone and asked repeatedly, "Don't you guys feel something, something just moved?" ”

These people also helped to justify, "Maybe it's a cat or dog that ran in, don't worry." ”

After saying that, the man beckoned to the family members behind him, and before coming forward and throwing it at the bottom of the cliff, he repeatedly reminded everyone to throw it high and throw it far away.

Everyone came to the edge of the cliff one after another, but everyone didn't seem to pay attention to the scene below.

I stood curiously and took a look, and this glance almost made my legs go limp.

A pit the size of half a playground in diameter, with hundreds of corpses lying crookedly inside.

Some of them are well preserved, while others have been turned beyond recognition and have been reduced to a white skeleton. But the same thing is that each corpse is stained with paper money, as if this ritual of sacrifice has been going on for a long time.

Lao Meng saw that I was stunned, so he came over and asked me what was wrong.

I was stunned and pointed to my feet, Lao Meng stretched his neck to look at it, and asked me puzzled, "What's wrong?" Isn't it just a pit? ”

"Pits? Don't you see the people in the pit? ”

Lao Meng replied strangely, "Where is there anyone?" You can't start hallucinating lately because you haven't rested well, do you? ”

As soon as Lao Meng said this, I also began to doubt myself, and quickly rubbed my eyes to confirm again.

It's still the same pit, and it's still countless corpses, but the strange thing is that I can see it, but Lao Meng can't see it.

I called Tuso to re-authenticate and found that Tuso could only see the pit.

I knew it wasn't my hallucination, but that there was something in the pit that was acting as a barrier so that none of the people above could see what was going on in the pit.

And because I had a tear of vision in my eyes, I saw things that ordinary people couldn't see.

The scene was full of people from the village, and I couldn't get into a head-on confrontation. I just want to go back and discuss the situation with Yu Nian first, and see how this matter can be resolved more securely.

When I came out of the cave, it was already past noon, and the sun was setting.

After the thin man came out of the cave, he became an ordinary person like you, me, and him.

The family members dispersed, where is there a chance to be an immortal for him.

I inquired about his identity with some curiosity, and after asking, I found out that it was Wen Po's apprentice.

But after hearing that a few of us were staying at Wenpo's house, his attitude suddenly became strange.
