Those old people committed suicide last night, and they were only found this evening.

The suicide of an elderly man is not uncommon in our village.

Because of poverty, the cost of providing for the elderly is too great.

The elderly who are over 70 years old have basically lost their labor, and they have more mouths to eat and take medicine.

Some can't even take care of their own lives, and they have to take care of their families individually.

The vast majority of families in our village are even having problems with food and clothing, and rich families like Sun Dacang are a minority after all.

The elderly in poor families, for fear of dragging down their children, will choose to commit suicide when they reach an advanced age.

But it is quite rare for more than a dozen old people to make an appointment to commit suicide together.

It's also quite infiltrating.

I stood in the crowd and watched the people in the village office, carrying out the bodies of the old people in the abandoned houses one by one.

The onlookers were all indifferent.

"It's better to be dead, these old men and old ladies, it's better to die than to live!" It was said.

The old man's sons and daughters all knelt beside the old man's corpse, and they did not even shed tears.

At this moment, I saw four people coming from the west.

It's the little sharpshooter them.

The little spear walked straight in front of the village chief.

"These dead people can't be buried, they are all burned."

"Why?" The village chief frowned.

"Don't ask so much, just burn it." The little sharpshooter had an indifferent expression.

The village chief obviously didn't want to take care of the little spear, so he asked him to talk to the family of the deceased.

But the sons and daughters of the dead old man will not listen to the words of the little spear.

Our Tashan village has never had the practice of cremation, and has always believed in burying it for peace.

The little spear had no choice but to explain to them, saying that if these corpses were not burned, they were likely to bring the corpses back to life and bring trouble to the village.

After Xiao Shengun said this, the family members of the deceased and the onlookers all shook their heads.

"You're a singer, what nonsense?"

Seeing that the families of the deceased did not believe him, Xiao Shengun immediately said that if they could not bear to cremate the corpses of the old men, they would take a piece of mahogany nail and nail it to the eyebrows of these corpses.

But the words of the little spear annoyed the families of the deceased.

"Say your mother's words! Mahogany nails are for nailing evil spirits! Do you say that our old man is an evil spirit? ”

At this time, Xiao Xiyue also came over, telling the families of the deceased to believe in them and not regret it when the disaster came.

But no matter how sincere they say, no one will believe it, but they will be scolded.

"That's it, kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, let them be." The little sharpshooter shook his head.

I frowned slightly as I saw the little sharpshooter brother and sister being besieged by the families of those deceased.

If it was a Taoist priest and a man, there might be a few people who believed these words.

But the little spears are just a group of singers.

"Their words! It's better to listen to two sentences! I've seen their skills, they are not ordinary troupes! I couldn't help but speak.

But still no one believes it.

"What can they do? Can turn heels and draw faces? ”

"Outsiders don't care about our village! Sun Dacang's mother's birthday banquet has long ended, why haven't you left yet? ”

The little sharpshooter spread his hands and said that the mountain road was blocked, how would they go?

Then the little spear turned his head and asked the village chief, did the person who blew up the mountain and block the road have been caught?

The village chief shook his head.

"Then I'll give you a clue."

Immediately, the little sharpshooter approached the village chief's ear and whispered in a low voice.

As I watched, the village chief's expression was at first incredulous, then terrifying.

"Just remember these words, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, just verify it when the time comes." The little sharpshooter looked at the village chief's face.

Then the little sharpshooter and they left.

The village chief stood in place, his expression uncertain.

Someone asked the village chief what the little spear said just now, but the village chief didn't answer.

"Okay, it's okay, you families of the deceased, hurry up and get the old man's body back! The excitement is gone! The village chief waved his hand.

"Dahai, when you go home, by the way, give a message to Carpenter Liu next door to your house, this one will require a dozen coffins, enough for him to work." The village chief said to me again.

After that, I went to Carpenter Liu's house, and at the door of his house, Xiaofeng's spiritual shed had not been demolished.

I entered the courtyard gate, and as soon as I called Uncle Liu, I was instantly stunned.

In the yard, all of them are finished coffins!

Most of those coffins are shoddy, take a few boards and nail them casually, layer upon layer, it is estimated that there should be more than 200 pairs.

"Dahai, is there someone who asked you to inform me to hurry up and make the coffin?" Carpenter Liu sat there with his back to me, still nailing the planks in his hands.

I answered.

"Someone informed me two days ago."

Immediately, Carpenter Liu turned his head and looked at me with a smile.

Seeing Carpenter Liu's smile, I instantly became hairy!

I don't know how to describe that smile, a little crazy, a little distorted, and a little hideous.

"Who is it...... Who notified you? I asked in a trembling voice.

Carpenter Liu shook his head and said that even if he told me, he would not believe it.

Then Carpenter Liu stood up, took my hand affectionately, and asked me to look at the coffins one by one.

"The sea, see which one you like best?"

I swallowed and foamed.

Why is Carpenter Liu so abnormal today? He has always been a man who does not smile.

I thought that maybe Xiaofeng's death hit him too hard.

"Uncle Liu, don't joke with me." I say.

But Carpenter Liu pretended to be angry and made a straight face.

"No! You've got to pick a pair! ”

I had no choice but to point casually, and I took a bite of the most beautiful fir coffin.

Carpenter Liu shook his head.

"You can't pick this one."

"Why?"

"This one is for me." Carpenter Liu said with a smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

I was thrilled.

"And that pair, it's for Xiao Feng Niang." Carpenter Liu pointed to another carved cypress coffin.

I shook off Carpenter Liu's hand with some fear.

"Uncle Liu, the words are here, I'll go first."

As soon as I walked to the courtyard gate, Carpenter Liu called out to me again.

"The sea, I ask you a question.

"You say, 'Can a man be resurrected when he dies?'

Carpenter Liu's question, I also asked Dr. Xiao Wang.

"I don't know." I shook my head stiffly.

Carpenter Liu was still smiling.

I ignored this crazy Carpenter Liu, and turned around and walked out of Xiaofeng's house.

At dinner, my parents and I talked about Carpenter Liu's madness.

They all sighed and said, isn't that? When a person reaches middle age and loses his only daughter, the blow is really big!

My parents also feel this pain.

"I hope Lao Liu can carry it, it's okay to go crazy, but don't do stupid things." Dad said.

But Dad is a prophecy.

The next day, Carpenter Liu and his mother-in-law both hanged themselves and died in the workshop behind his house.

The body was found by the daughter of an elderly man who committed suicide the night before and wanted to buy a coffin for her father.

That aunt, when she entered the courtyard gate of Carpenter Liu's house before, she didn't see anyone, and when she saw the coffins in the courtyard, she was a little stunned.

She went to the workshop, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the bodies of Carpenter Liu and his wife swinging in the air, their faces purple, their eyes protruding, and their tongues sticking out most of them.

The girl was immediately frightened and screamed like a pig.

My house was next door, and when I heard the aunt's shout, I hurried over.

When I saw the corpse, I was also very frightened, and I had just seen Carpenter Liu go crazy yesterday.

After that, many people came to the village one after another, and the workshop was packed.

The people from the village office took down the bodies of Carpenter Liu's two sons, analyzed the situation at the scene, checked the strangulation marks on the corpse's neck, and determined that Carpenter Liu and his wife committed suicide.

The faces of the onlookers were a little unpleasant.

It's so intoxicating.

In just one day, there were two suicides in the village.

Carpenter Liu also left a suicide note, the content of which was very concise.

Let his nephew help bury the remains of the couple, use loess when burying the soil, and don't dig too deep in the pit.

No one knows what is so particular about such a burial.

However, when the village chief read out Carpenter Liu's suicide note, several onlookers in the village exclaimed.

They are the children of the group of elderly people who committed mass suicide the night before.

According to them, the wills of those old people who committed suicide were all orders, and they were buried according to this method!

The villagers present were staring at each other.

Why is it so buried? Do you have to bury shallow? You have to use loess.

According to the habit of our village, it is obvious that the deeper the burial, the better.

"Do you want to know why?" A voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the man who spoke.

And when I saw that person's face, I subconsciously grasped the hilt of the hunting knife at my waist!
