"Hey, that's what you mean!" Aunt Feng had a suddenly realized expression, "This...... It's our custom here! After a pause, she said, "Besides, the one you see being carried is not a dead man." ”

"Not a dead man? Could it be that it is a living person who is being carried? ”

"Aang!"

Aunt Feng said that the funeral team that Mo Chen saw was not really a funeral for the dead, in fact, it was just a custom for them here, and it could also be said to be a blessing ceremony!

When exactly did this ritual start, flourish in Yongming Village, and what the real purpose of holding this ceremony was, Aunt Feng said she didn't know. She married from a foreign country, and her mother-in-law left early, so naturally no one told her about this kind of thing. Moreover, when she got married, the matchmaker once explained to her that if you get married, you just have to live a good life, don't ask what you shouldn't ask.

After living in Yongming Village for a long time, Aunt Feng has slowly lost her initial curiosity, and she only thinks that she eats Lantern Festival and Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, and she doesn't think about why she does it. She knew that such a funeral ceremony would be held from time to time, and every time the villagers who played the role of the dead were arranged by the village chief himself, as for what was the basis for selecting people, she didn't know.

"However, a well-behaved living person has to lie on a wooden board and pretend to be a dead body, which is too unlucky!" Haiting couldn't help but sigh.

Aunt Feng didn't think it would be, "This prayer is a blessing for the dead child, how can he be unlucky?!" ”

Aunt Feng just said that she didn't know anything, and then she came out again, clearly knowing the inside story. Mo Chen immediately seized the opportunity and asked, "So, every time you play the role of a dead corpse, it's all voluntary?" So, the village chief should explain to them why he was chosen, right? ”

Aunt Feng sighed twice, as if she wanted to continue chatting on this topic, she deliberately diverted the topic and said to Fan Tong instead, "You came too late yesterday, and I didn't have much time to talk to you." Girl, you came to us to find Lao Liu, are you visiting the door, or is there something going on at home? ”

Fan Tong smiled lightly, "It's nothing serious, I always heard my mother mention that I have such an uncle, but I have never seen it, just take this opportunity to come out to play, come and visit." ”

Fan Tong said this, looking at Mo Chen from time to time, she was actually asking Mo Chen through her eyes whether it was appropriate for her to say this.

?? But this small action was inadvertently seen by Aunt Feng, and she would be mistaken, Aunt Feng slapped her thigh, "Eh, look at my head." She pointed at Fan Tong with one hand and Mo Chen with the other, and her fingertips moved closer together, "You two little babies, should you ...... It's to ......"

?? Fan Tong fluttered his long eyelashes, confused at a glance, Mo Chen took the first step and said, "Hey...... As you guessed, our Fan Fan was shy, and deliberately explained to us before he came, and he was not allowed to say it until he met Uncle Yan. ”

"Hey, what's there to be ashamed of, it's a good thing for a man to marry a woman to get married~~" Aunt Feng smiled and patted Fan Tong's shoulder, looking like an elder, Fan Tong pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment.

At the dinner table, the parents chatted a few words, and Mo Chen said that he wanted to go around the village during the day, and took two photos as a souvenir. Aunt Feng enthusiastically introduced to them the customs and customs of Yongming Village, but at the end, she specially told them that there was no problem in walking around and playing in the village, but they must not run to the back mountain at the back of the village to play.

People are sometimes like this, and the more they are warned not to do anything, the more interested they are in it.

Several people asked again and again, and Aunt Feng said that the road in the mountain is winding and rugged, especially the back mountain has not been developed so far, and there is not even a serious road, and Mo Chen and they are easy to be in danger when they first arrive, or get lost.

"Isn't that the primeval forest!" Haiting clapped his hands excitedly, "It's so exciting, this is much better than so tourist attractions, I don't like to go up the mountain and have to do sightseeing cars, there is no fun of returning to nature." ”

Haiting's reaction frightened Aunt Feng, she didn't expect it to backfire, she repeatedly dissuaded, "No way, no way!" You baby, you are talking nonsense, and you are still close to nature, I am afraid that you will lose your life! ”

Aunt Feng waved her hand, beckoned Mo Chen and them to come closer, and lowered her voice, "The back mountain is not clean!" ”

Mo Chen was waiting for this sentence, this trip, they could go so smoothly, and the first stop went straight to Yongming Village, which they were really looking for, it was not unlucky. Since you have come to the right place, some strange things will be encountered sooner or later.

Aunt Feng said that the back mountain of Yongming Village is the kind of primitive forest in Haitingkou, in fact, in the northeast, especially in Jilin and Heilongjiang, that kind of primitive forest is not uncommon, but the forest behind Yongming Village is not the same.

No one knows when it began, and there is such a legend in Yongming Village that there is a spirit living in the back mountain who does not know what kind of cultivation it is. Every time a villager strays into the back mountain, he will be caught by the spirit, and when the village chief leads everyone to look for it, all they find is a pile of bloodstained white bones.

"Poof~~" Haiting couldn't help laughing, "Then to put it this way, this monster is quite funny, and it is also afraid of being alone!" ”

Mo Chen repeatedly promised that they would not go to the back mountain, and only walked around the village, and Aunt Feng let them out with confidence.

Yongming Village during the day is no different from the usual villages, and if you have to pick out some different places, it can only be said that the villagers here are particularly welcoming. Whenever Mo Chen and the others passed by the villagers, the other party would greet them very warmly and chat a few words. This village is not very big, and when outsiders like Mo Chen and them visited, the news had already spread in the village overnight.

However, when Mo Chen didn't ask about the funeral last night, every lively villager who chatted with him just made an excuse and walked away, it seems that this so-called custom is also a taboo that cannot be talked about here.

When they walked around the village, they happened to meet a person, who was the villager who played the dead corpse last night. It can be said that it is because the villager took the initiative to greet Mo Chen and them, and he opened his mouth and said to Mo Chen, "I scared you last night!" ”

Mo Chen looked at each other in surprise, and the two of them were even more confused, and the villager gestured with his hand to the clothes on his body and said two words, "Shroud." "I didn't understand from this very point that he was the one who was wearing a shroud last night and playing the dead body.

When the "dead corpse" villagers passed by last night, they also saw Mo Chen on the wall, and Mo Chen fell off the wall in horror, he naturally saw it in his eyes, so he asked this question. This blue sky and day frightened, Mo Chen looked at the person's appearance carefully, his facial features were not like him, but the demeanor of the side face was a little similar to him.

In addition, the light was dim last night, and Mo Chen was tired from the journey, so he accidentally looked away, but there was a slight possibility.
