I'm familiar with this sweetness, the taste of home—

Fossil honey.

Fossil honey is a kind of honey that is a specialty of our Baigupo, it is extremely sweet, only a small spoonful can make a pot of porridge sweet and delicious, and many vendors selling breakfast in the city will come to our village to buy fossil honey.

But they didn't know that in our village, fossil honey was for the dead......

Its real name is "Corpse Honey", the corpse of corpses.

There is a saying in our village that "one day into bones, one month into soil", which refers to the effect of corpse honey, as long as the dead are fed corpse honey, they can rot into white bones in one day, and after one month, the white bones will rot into soil.

The main reason is that the corpse honey is too sweet, which can attract termites in the crypt to gnaw on the bones. Moreover, corpse honey can allow bacteria and other microorganisms to multiply rapidly, speeding up the rate of decay of corpses.

As for why the corpse should be allowed to decompose quickly.

I don't know.

It's a custom.

Anyway, before the old man of Baigupo died, he would drink a bowl of corpse honey, which was requested by the old man. If you don't have time to drink it, it makes no difference if you pour it in after death.

I remember that before my grandfather died, he drank a bowl of corpse honey himself.

When I was a child, I lived in Baigupo and was used to it, so I didn't investigate why there was such a custom, and if I were asked to go back to live in Baigupo now, I would definitely be curious to investigate the origin of the custom.

Of course, corpse honey can also be drunk by living people, but it is just unlucky, and the locals will definitely not drink it, and they will feel terrible when they smell it.

Corpse honey, like ordinary honey, is brewed by bee flowers.

It is a specialty of our White Bone Slope because there is no such flower in other places, called "Broken Head Incense".

Broken incense, when the flowers bloom, there is no fragrance, will not attract bees and butterflies.

If the wind blows the flowers off, or if the flowers are picked artificially, the fragrance of the flowers will soon overflow, and the bees from far away can be attracted to collect honey.

This sweetness brings back many memories for me.

Although the corpse honey is sweet, its smell will not spread very far, in the environment where there is no night wind, the sweet smell of corpse honey wafting in the air, it must be that there is corpse honey around me.

It should be in the mountain temple.

I turned my head to look inside the temple, a huge hideous stone statue, a pile of sleeping people, two durable candles burning on the ground, nothing out of the ordinary.

At this time, the elder brother and Wang Ziwen woke up.

The two of them glanced at Miao Qi's team a few times, as if they wanted to do something bad, and I called over.

My brother and Wang Ziwen walked up to me and signaled to me, talking about going to the toilet, it's nothing.

When they came back after they had finished settling it, I whispered to my brother: "You have to distinguish the occasion when doing things, don't want to think crookedly here, everyone sleeps together, can you get out?" You should learn like others, and push me off the cliff without knowing it, causing an accident, and no one will find out. ”

My brother sat down next to me, lit a cigarette, and said, "Do you need you to teach me?" Go to sleep, I'll smoke a cigarette and whistle for you. ”

I wasn't too sleepy, so I sat and chatted and asked my brother, "Can you smell the sweet smell, where did it come from?"

My brother's smell of smoke has already covered the sweetness around him, he doesn't know what I'm talking about, even if he smells it, he won't care, he doesn't know what corpse honey is, and he laughed at me: "In a temple with women, the air is sweet."

I asked, "Why?"

My brother said, "Wear perfume."

I feel so cold, colder than a bad joke.

Xun Qianling was lying on my lap, sleeping soundly, I heard my brother say this, I smelled Xun Qianling when I was idle, and I wanted to smell her perfume.

It smells so sweet!

I was startled, and hurriedly approached, put my nose on her and sniffed it carefully, the sweetness of corpse honey!

The elder brother couldn't stand it anymore and scolded: "Grass, you belong to a dog? Pay attention to the image! ”

I was originally a dog, born in 1994, a dog, so I continued to smell, from top to bottom, from hair to pants, and finally found that the sweetness was concentrated on the back of Xun Qianling's neck.

I got closer and smelled it, like the floral fragrance of "guillotine incense".

Because the corpse honey is the nectar of the severed head, the smell emitted by the two is almost identical, and there is no difference.

But the severed head incense is a unique flower of our Baigupo, as long as it leaves our village, whether it is planted with flower seeds or transplanted whole, it will not bloom.

I asked my brother curiously, "Where have you been today?" I said I would follow me, why didn't I follow? ”

My brother said: "It's not that Lao Tzu doesn't follow, it's that the road doesn't work......"

My brother explained a few words, which meant that they wanted to go around and meet me in the middle of the way, so it seemed more natural, and they naturally teamed up with Miao Qi's team, but they didn't expect that the fork in the mountain road was blocked by the rocks rolling down, and they couldn't get through.

Listening to the process described by his brother, they had never seen white and red flowers along the way, and the mountain roads they walked were relatively desolate, most of them were rocky roads.

It's weird.

Xun Qianling had the smell of broken incense on the back of her neck, how could she think it was unlucky, a little disgusting, I reached out and wiped it on her neck.
