Chapter 2 The short-lived man cried and broke his bowels
Just a few steps away, I suddenly saw a rotten and rotten corpse at the edge of the aquatic weeds.
Looking at the rotten appearance of the corpse being hollowed out and torn all over the body, I finally couldn't help but turn around and retch, and scolded loudly in my heart: "Mother, fortunately, I didn't drink water, Mother's ,,。 ”
How can there be a corpse of a person here, could it be that they were drowned in the water while passing by, if it is a person from the village, they should be buried, how can they be soaked in water?
It's so weird,
I thought about it, and decided to look upstream along the bank of the river to see if it was a person from a village who had gone lost and drowned, or if it had been attacked by wild beasts, but in short, I tried my best to help this man find his relatives and let him be buried in peace.
There was a canyon in front of me, and I climbed up the hillside, still following the river, and past the canyon, in front of me was a very large flat area, and although I could still see the end at a glance, it was at least much larger than the basin I had seen along the way.
Of course, there is a flat land, there must be people inhabited, sure enough, before nightfall, I saw a village and town not far away, just at this time, there seemed to be something floating down, I quickly went up, suddenly froze, it was actually a simple bamboo raft, the bamboo raft also lay on a man wearing a shroud, walk closer to see clearly, is a young man with a beautiful face,
I couldn't help but be a little stunned, how could I die at such a young age, and why would I rather spend time making a bamboo raft than burying it nearby?
Mo is not a popular water burial here,
There are many kinds of ancient and modern burial methods, entering the human ear is the sky burial, cremation, water burial, earth burial, of course, the most common is the burial, it is rumored that the Tibetans in Ganzi and some grassland areas in Sichuan Province due to lack of fuel, in addition to the serf owners to carry out cremation, sky burial, the average person is buried by water, water burial has a fixed place, mostly located in the river rapids, after the person dies, park at home for one or three days, light a butter lamp, ask the lama to recite the scriptures, and then transport the body to the water burial ground, by the water burial person or the corpse will be bent and tied, and the chest is tied to the stone and sunk into the water, or throw the corpse into the water with an axe, and the relics of the deceased shall be returned to the water burial, and half of the property shall be handed over to the local government, and half shall be returned to the monastery.
In many myths, water is associated with gods, happiness, beauty, and immortality, so when burying dead relatives, people naturally associate water burial.
But all kinds of explanations are not enough to use this young man, because he has obviously been pressed on his chest with a large stone, and there are vermilion words on it, but I can't see what is written on it, and even if I can't see it clearly, I can guess that this corpse should have been thrown into the river by someone who put a corpse suppression curse, what to prevent ,,, prevent,
Prevent his soul from turning into a ghost, or prevent his corpse from turning into a zombie or a corpse,
I can't figure it out for a while, but this matter must not be so simple, by the way, the rotting corpse downstream, isn't it the same burial method,
As night fell, I came to a village recently, and as far as the eye could see, there seemed to be many families in this place, one by one, as if several villages were connected together, and when I entered the village, I saw an old lady sitting on a big stone at the entrance of the village, with tears on her face, and weeping.
I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "This aunt, why are you crying, is there something wrong at home?" ”
The old lady wiped her tears, sighed deeply, and said: "Young man, you are from other places, you may not know, I also have a son, who is about the same age as you, but ,,, but he died before starting a family, woo woo~~~"
My face tightened, and I suddenly remembered the corpse floating in the river just now, Mo ,,, Mo no,,,
The old lady cried for a while, and then said: "Our family has been honest and responsible for generations, I really don't know who made the sin, his father left early, and we were left with orphans and widows, and now I finally raised my son with hard work, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, woo~~~"
I couldn't help but persuade: "Auntie, please mourn, it's better to go home early when it's so late, I believe that if your son knows that you are so sad, he will also be sad." ”
The old lady suddenly raised her head, her eyes glared at the air in front of her, I turned my head and followed her line of sight, but there was nothing in front of me, the old lady's next actions made me even more stunned, to be precise, it should be shocked,
She gritted her teeth fiercely and shouted angrily into the night sky: "You killed my son, I have only one life left now, what are I afraid of, I am not afraid of you." ”
"Who." I asked anxiously, "Auntie, who are you talking about, there is no one in front." ”
The old lady turned her head to look at me suddenly, and I was a little panicked by her cold eyes, smacked my lips, and asked softly, "Auntie, what's wrong with you." ”
She didn't speak at first, but slowly looked me up and down before sneering and saying, "Young man, don't walk at night, be careful that your little life will be lost at any time." ”
"Uh,,。" I didn't know what to say to the old lady for a while, so I had to stand there and smack my lips.
After the old lady finished speaking, she stood up, and when she turned around, she didn't forget to point to the night sky in front of her and scolded: "I'm not afraid of you, I don't want you, I don't want you,,。 ”
While scolding angrily, I walked back to the village, I watched the old lady's back disappear into the village in a daze, and then, I muttered to myself: "What's wrong with this aunt, how can she scold at the air, maybe my son has just passed away, and the mental blow is too great, alas,,。 ”
Since I came to this village, it was dark again, I decided to find a family here tonight to spend the night, by the way, I asked about the eldest aunt, and the carrion corpse downstream, I always felt that this village was weird,,, maybe I had experienced too many things, and I was a little sensitive.
Thinking about it, I smiled bitterly,,,
Walking into the village, I found that my feeling was not wrong, at least not too wrong, ,,,at least I guessed right, this village is indeed very strange, one by one, at the door of the courtyard, there is a red thread, hanging a kitchen knife, and the blade of the kitchen knife actually exudes a smell of blood,
There are a few more I am speechless, directly placed at the door of a statue, is the statue of the god of the land, how can this become, worship the statue, should choose a more suitable position of the god to place, this ,,, just straight towards the gate, not only is it disrespectful to the gods, but also will provoke ominous,
I just wanted to come forward and knock on the door, wanting to tell the family that they should not be so blasphemous, inadvertently, I saw that there was nothing hanging at the door of one of the courtyards, just closed the door normally, which was strange, but it was not strange that many villagers were hanging things at the door, I was curious, and knocked on the door of the family's courtyard.
