Chapter 128: Second Burial
Not far ahead, I saw the funeral procession from yesterday......
There were more than a dozen people in the team, sadly raising the dark coins in their hands, and the long spirit flags were fluttering with the night wind, and at the back of the team, a man of forty or fifty years old turned around and smiled at us weirdly, smiling in the night, not to mention how terrifying it was.
I gritted my teeth and hurriedly said, "Catch up, take a look at ...... first"
The little aunt's car accelerated instantly, and chased all the way, but the funeral procession got farther and farther, and went faster and faster, as if it could not catch up at all.
At this time, there was another terrible howl in the valley, and the sound was like a cry of blood, which made people's scalps tingle.
My face changed a little, and my little aunt stepped on the brakes at this time, staring at the front with a cloudy face.
"The funeral procession is gone...... "The little aunt took a deep breath.
My face turned a little pale, and I glanced ahead, and the funeral procession was gone.
The sudden appearance and abrupt disappearance are simply a bit unreasonable.
The little aunt stopped the car, there was some hesitation in her eyes, there were some problems in this valley, so she didn't dare to go any further, especially the screams she heard just now, some of which didn't seem like people could make them.
I got out of the car, looked around, and was about to get back into the car, when I saw a fire in the distance.
I hesitated, but walked up, and saw a woman in white from a distance, squatting on the side of the road to burn paper, her cheeks were shining with the light of the fire, some red and yellow alternately, looking a little scary.
I took a deep breath, the Netherworld Prison Knife in my hand was already in the sense, and I hesitated and asked loudly, "I want to ask, where is Taiping Village?" ”
The paper-burning woman slowly raised her head, revealing a somewhat pale cheek, and pointed to the front.
I hurriedly said thank you, then stepped back into the car and told my little aunt to drive forward.
When the car drove up to the woman, I saw the woman raise her head, staring at our car with some resentment, and there was an indescribable emotion in her eyes.
My heart suddenly tightened, and I glanced at my little aunt.
The little aunt's car accelerated, hurriedly bypassed the woman, and accelerated violently.
I glanced at it, my face suddenly turned white, and I saw in a trance that there was a tablet in front of the woman, which seemed to read: Yang Sheng......
My scalp exploded, my aunt's car had already driven over, and I was a little frightened in my heart, hoping that what I had just seen was an illusion......
Hundreds of meters later, sure enough, in the canyon between the two mountains, there is a small village, roughly estimated, there are one or two hundred households.
There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, and the stone tablet says Taiping Village, these words look a little strange to me, but I can't say that there is something wrong with that place.
At this moment, there was another terrible wail, which sounded in mid-air, and the sound echoed in the mountains, making me staring out in horror, but seeing nothing.
"That's ...... What was that? Wen Wen was still a little scared and asked tremblingly.
The little aunt hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not good to say now, it's better to let Yang Sheng go out and investigate!" ”
"Sniff out!" I glared at my little aunt viciously, this place is so weird, if I go out to investigate, who knows what I will encounter?
The little aunt pouted, "Don't worry, the little aunt is here, and the gods retreat!" ”
I laughed, you didn't do any less bragging things......
There was silence in the car, but the little aunt was extremely energetic, and there was a faint excitement in her eyes.
I have seen her expression, when I first arrived in Sanwangzhai, there was excitement in her eyes, and that kind of light is very familiar to me.
I immediately turned my head so as not to be tricked by her, and rested for a while.
It's too late for us to enter the village, so we might as well take a break in the car and stay until tomorrow morning to visit the village.
This night, I slept until dawn, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that there were people standing around the car, stretching out their heads one by one, and forgetting to leave the car.
I hurriedly rubbed my cheeks, opened the car door, and got out of the car first.
Since he has arrived in Taiping Village, he naturally wants to inquire first about whether there is any news about Zhang Zhenguo.
Since last night, when I saw the funeral procession, I knew that my little aunt's guess was correct, Zhang Zhenguo was to lead us here, but I don't know what the purpose of this old guy is, and what kind of considerations he has.
Out of the crowd came an old man, probably in his sixties, with a ruddy face, but he couldn't see any old age.
"Brother, what are you doing...... Lost? The old man asked.
I sighed a little, touched my somewhat old face, and hurriedly said, "We ......"
"We are here to travel, we go wherever we go, I don't know if there is a place to stay in the village, we want to stay here for a few days!" The little aunt got out of the car and said with a smile to the old man.
I knew that my little aunt was good at these things, so I hurriedly nodded my head along with it.
"Travel! Well, there really is an empty courtyard in the village, you come with me......" The old man waved his hand.
I let Nuan also get out of the car and followed the old man all the way to the village.
The village was very tidy, with two large roads intersecting, dividing the whole village into four parts, each of which was about the same size.
The old man took us into the East District, found a house in the East District, and settled down for the time being.
After some conversation, I also knew that this old man's name was Hong Tianlei, and he was the head of this Taiping Village, and he was very famous in Taiping Village.
After sending Hong Tianlei, Aunt Xiao and Nuan Wen away, I cleaned up the house for the time being, my brows furrowed, but I was thinking in my heart, what was the purpose of Zhang Zhenguo to lead us to this place.
At this time, there was a noise outside the door, as if the people in the village were rushing out.
I didn't quite understand what was going on, so I hurriedly followed, and then inquired, only to find out that someone was going to be buried a second time today.
As soon as I heard about the second burial, my mind naturally remembered some descriptions in the "Book of Burial".
The origin of the second burial is very early, the earliest can be traced back to the Baiyue period, and in today's society, the second burial still exists, in the Hakka area of Guangdong, as well as Guangxi, and even in southern Fujian and Vietnam, this second burial is very popular.
This kind of secondary burial is said to be after a person dies, find a coffin and put it away, or bury it at will, stay until three or five years later, choose a good day and auspicious day, and then dig out the bones for a grand funeral.
Most people believe that the second burial can prosper the family and keep the living safe, but there is a big door in this second burial.
If this thing doesn't play well, it's really going to kill people.
I heard that it was after this second burial, and I didn't plan to see the excitement, but when I thought that since Zhang Zhenguo asked me to come here, there must be some reason, so I hesitated for a while, and followed the crowd all the way to the outside of the village.
Not far from the village, I saw someone pull up a white cloth that covered exactly fourteen feet and blocked the air, and then Hong Tianlei walked up and dug three shovels of soil into the clearing.
I know these procedures, which shows that the deceased should be someone from Hong Tianlei, and only family members can dig up the first three shovels of soil.
Hong Tianlei's face, as if with lamentation, regressed little by little.
At this time, I saw a weak woman, who walked up and took the shovel.
This woman is the one I saw on the side of the road last night, when she was burning paper, her face was very bad, I didn't expect that today's second burial was actually done by her.
I know the doorway inside this second burial, the person who buried it is called picking up bones, also known as picking up gold, and this person needs to dig up the coffin, pick out the bones inside one by one, and then rearrange them and put them into Jincheng, which is really successful.
I didn't expect that such a young girl would be a bone picker.
The dirt was dug up with a spade, and a foul smell came out of it.
At this time, the people around him retreated one after another, and Hong Tianlei's face also changed a little, as for the girl inside, her face looked unwavering.
When a rotten coffin was revealed, I saw that the girl did not hesitate to split the coffin, and the stench spread all over the sky.
I couldn't help but be a little frightened, and I looked inside the coffin with my feet crossed, and saw a female corpse that was half decomposed.
It is said that half of it is rotten, and that is because the female corpse is divided by the center of the eyebrows, and the flesh on one cheek is rotten, but the flesh on the other cheek is intact and watery, like a girl asleep.
At this time, the big guys were startled and hurriedly retreated backwards, for fear of provoking something unclean.
My heart jumped, my eyes widened, I couldn't believe that there would be such a female corpse here!
The girl's face in the field also changed, and she said, "I need help......
"Yuezi, who did you say to help, don't be ......polite to me," Hong Tianlei said hurriedly.
The girl called Yuezi raised her head and looked around, but pointed a finger to the crowd, "He ......"
I gasped and felt like my heart was going to jump out of my throat, this woman actually asked me for help?
