Ninety-second, funeral
Xiao An looked at it for a while, and he couldn't see the superfluous, because the body was cut off at the waist, the upper body looked a little miserable white, which was due to the loss of water and the end of the blood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After reading it, it was covered with a white cloth again, and the corpse was like this, which made Bai Zaha a little confused, because the funeral in Zhuyue Village was a vertical burial, one was cut off, and the other skin didn't know where it was, thinking about it was a problem, but there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, so there was no other way to do it for the time being.
The three of them went back after reading it, and there was nothing to do today, and the ancestor worship ceremony in Zhuyue Village had ended early, so there was no need to arrange a night watchman tonight, and nothing would happen.
The time has come to the next day, the sky is still gray, the snow stars are falling sporadically, everyone in Zhuyue Village has already gotten up, and then after lunch, they will gather at Bai Zong'an.
The funeral of two people takes some time, and then someone carries the body, but fortunately the burial here is relatively simple, without any coffin, the deceased is directly stretched on a stretcher, and two or three, or four or five people can carry it away.
Many coffins are used in the burial places, and the better the coffin, the greater the face, when this is all for the living, thousands of years later, those coffins will turn to dust.
The coffin is generally relatively heavy, so when burying in many places, it is necessary to ask dozens of more than ten young people to carry the coffin, eight in the front and eight in the back.
The stretcher is better, it's just a pile of bones, but sometimes it's very heavy, it's a horrible way of saying that the soul is still in the body, so it's much heavier than usual, and it takes four people to carry it.
Although the population of Zhuyue Village is not large, there are still people who carry the corpse, a group of people follow behind, there are no gentlemen who chant sutras, and there are people who blow trumpets, so they quietly follow the coffin bearer.
The line is not too long, Xiao An is also among them, and the lead is Bai Goona, so he follows.
The place where people are buried in Zhuyue Village is in a special place, and this place is dedicated to burying the dead, so even if it is not so dark, it feels like a gust of wind and chills in people's hearts.
The vertical burial does not occupy an area, so the graves are like some small mounds, which don't look big, but there are tombstones or something, otherwise you really can't see that it is a tomb.
The grave is on a waist and a half, and it can be reached by walking for more than ten minutes from the village of Zhuyue, and there is a forest directly opposite, a forest of black pressure, but now the snow has been dyed white, and you can't see the forest, only the snow that is endless and then connected to the horizon.
The funeral team finally arrived, and Xiao An didn't have much to say along the way, and there was no one in the arrangement, so they just came to have a good time, and by the way, they took a look at the customs here.
The custom of burying people is different, and although it feels unlucky, people's curiosity is always strong.
The first group rested for a while, and then only heard Bai Gouna shout,
"The hour is up, bury!"
Of course, Xiao An didn't know what he was saying, he was speaking in the characteristic language of the place.
Generally, the funeral should be based on the birth date of the deceased, and then calculate which day is the best, but this is the kind for the old death, this kind of accidental death, is to pick the best time of the day and bury it directly, there is nothing special.
Everyone's expressions were serious, and then some pro-year men picked up the corpse, tied the corpse with a rope, and played a special knot, which was not easy to disperse, but it was easy to unravel.
The vertical hole is more than two meters deep, and the corpse needs to be hung down with a rope, one person holds the head, one person holds the foot, and the head has to look straight ahead, but because the corpse is special, it is all covered, and it can only be judged.
With all their might, the two young men carried the body to the hole, and then the older men who knew a little bit came to see it, looking left and right, until they agreed.
Breaking ground also pays attention to the hour, and it can only be broken when someone who understands it is called, but there is another step before that, and that is to untie the rope on the foot.
This rope is called a stumbling rope, and people will wear underworld clothes after death, which is like the clothes of the Qing Dynasty in many places, so the most obvious sign of the zombie in the movie is wearing ancient clothes, which has a certain reason.
And it's the same in ordinary places, but it's not ordinary, it's colorful clothes, what is colorful? It is seven colors, and you have to wear seven separate colors of clothes, one layer is wrapped in one, and the white one is on the outside, so many movie ghosts are dressed in white, which is also grounded.
Naturally, this is also the case in the village of Zhuyue, so the deceased is dressed in the color of snow, and the stumbling rope is untied before they can be buried.
If the stumbling rope is not untied when the deceased goes to the earth, then the deceased cannot be reincarnated, and strange things will happen in the family.
This link must not be missing, and the strange thing is that when the stumbling rope is untied, the corpse will be very light, because the three souls and seven spirits of the person have left the body, so at this time it is really just a corpse, or a pile of rotten meat.
The corpse has been removed from the earth, and the ground has also begun to be moved, this kind of vertical burial must be stabilized by someone, otherwise the corpse will tilt, and then the surrounding people shovel the soil to cover it up until it reaches the head, and then all the ground is covered, and finally put a simple tombstone.
It's a busy afternoon, and when people come back, it's not early, since the body has been disposed of, the next thing is to enter the cave, see the truth, the body of this matter has been buried, even if there is anything strange, it is not good to move the ground to take out the body, not to mention that the burial method is still very special.
Xiao An went back and prepared, tomorrow is the day to enter the cave, or the day after tomorrow can set off from Zhuyue Village, and then go all the way to the depths of the forest.
They haven't forgotten their purpose this time, which is to come for the case, what secrets, just encounter and then solve.
But suddenly the sky changed, and the snow over the village began to fall again, and the five of them sat in Bai Goona's house, drinking hot wine, and discussing how to go to the cave tomorrow.
In the darkness of the night, he reached out and took a snowflake, and then slowly exhaled and blew the snowflake, his expression could not be seen clearly, but there was a lot more complexity and depth in his eyes.
He walked slowly on the top of the mountain, the lights of Xiangyue Village were quiet and scarce in his field of vision, he looked down at the road, and then looked up at the sky, the lonely and depressed figure was particularly conspicuous in a piece of white.
He looked back at the cave not far behind him, and there was a kind of black thing in his hand, and then disappeared in place, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
