Wu Dahan's words completely shocked us, what kind of custom is this, a person is buried alive in a coffin before he dies?

The trendy man stood up abruptly, and his voice suddenly rose, "The old man is not dead yet, so you buried him?" How did you become a son? When you went to the cemetery, your father was still knocking on the coffin inside, don't you feel uncomfortable when you hear it? buried your father alive like this, you don't have a vain heart, and you don't have nightmares at night? ”

I was also full of anger and doubts in my heart, but I wondered, this Wu Dahan is not like the kind of disobedient and unfilial person, how could he bury his father alive who is not dead? There is also the group of funeral people, they are all from the village, why did they watch Wu Dahan bury his father alive, and so many people are accomplices?

But think about it, things are not right, the people who go to the funeral are all frightened and trotting, whether on the way to the funeral or when they come back, they are in a hurry as if they are being caught by something, indicating that they know that there is danger.

Since they know that there is danger, then they should not be Wu Dahan's accomplices and bury Wu Dahan's father, there must be something strange in this!

The expressions of the three of us should be similar, Wu Dahan looked at us, scratched his head helplessly, and looked at his woman again, then said helplessly, "Three little brothers, even if I, Wu Dahan, am no longer a thing, I will not bury my father alive." But I can't help it, there is such a rule in the village, all the old people in the age of seventy-three or eighty-four will be sent to the cemetery, this is a rule handed down by the ancestors for thousands of years, and I dare not break it! ”

I wanted to scold the fuck at the time, what kind of bullshit rule is this, you have to be buried alive in the cemetery if you live to seventy-three eighty-four, and it has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years?

But I soon found a contradiction in Wu Dahan's words, if the ages of seventy-three and eighty-four are to be buried alive, then it is impossible for anyone to live to eighty-four! But he said very clearly, seventy-three and eighty-four years old must be buried alive, this is the rule handed down in the village.

The trendy man has a fast brain and a quick mouth, and soon asked, "Big brother, if seventy-three are buried alive, how can there be people in the village who can live to eighty-four?" Unless he crawls back from the grave and lives for another ten years! ”

The faces of Wu Dahan and his daughter-in-law changed all of a sudden.

Wu Dahan and his daughter-in-law had been tense all the time, and she was very nervous at first glance, but after the trendy man said this, she stood up and wanted to pounce us, "Three little brothers, it's not that we refuse to keep you, you talk so nonsense, you want to cause a big disaster, you go quickly, we don't dare to keep you!" ”

I looked at Wu Dahan, and Wu Dahan didn't stop him, as if he acquiesced in his daughter-in-law's approach and planned to kick us out.

The three of us glanced at each other, and the trendy man smiled, hugged Wu Dahan's shoulders and apologized with a smile, "Big brother, I'm young and fast-talking, and I don't understand our rules, so don't be surprised if you say something you don't like to hear, big brother." Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I won't talk nonsense anymore, okay? On this big night, it was dark outside, and when the god came back, another person was killed, sister-in-law, if you let us out like this, you want our lives......"

The trendy man mentioned that someone was killed, Wu Dahan and his daughter-in-law obviously shuddered, glanced at the door in horror, and then looked at Wu Dahan, then sighed and said, "Okay, we are not evil people, we can't watch you have an accident." But you must remember to be careful what you say and do in Tuoshiling, otherwise you will ......"

At the end, she glanced at the window in habitual horror again, as if something was staring at her outside, and then suddenly shut up, and never said any more.

I also unconsciously followed her gaze to look at the window, I couldn't see anything outside the window, the room was full of paper people and paper horses, especially a few paper figures on the bed, every time I saw them, I felt like they were staring at us gloomily, the cold hairs all over my body would always stand up one by one, and my nerves were even more tense.

Seeing that Wu Dahan no longer picked us up, we all breathed a sigh of relief, but no one dared to open their mouths anymore, for fear that they would accidentally touch the taboo of Wu Dahan and his family, and they would drive him out.

It's just that sitting in such a strange village at night, sitting in such a room full of funeral supplies, I always feel uncomfortable, and my heart feels like I am grasping something, and I feel very uncomfortable.

After a moment of silence, the cold man who had not spoken spoke spoke again, and his voice was still faint, "If you don't tell us what you know, how can we help you dig a grave in the second half of the night?" ”

Grave digging?

The trendy man and I were taken aback, and glanced at each other, Wu Dahan was even more surprised to look at the cold man, and after looking at it for a long time, he stammered and asked, "Little, little brother, you, how do you know I'm going...... Going to the graveyard in the middle of the night? ”

The cold man quickly gave him the answer, first, there is an old man who lived to eighty-four, which means that the old man who has died to seventy-three has not died, it can only be dug up in the cemetery; Second, the oxygen in the coffin is very limited, and if he didn't go earlier, Wu Dahan's father would be suffocated to death, so he wouldn't wait until tomorrow.

As for why I didn't go in the middle of the night, it should be a rule left by our ancestors for thousands of years.

I looked at Wu Dahan anxiously, wondering if what the cold man said was true, if he really wanted to dig a grave, it must be as soon as possible, otherwise wouldn't Wu Laohan be suffocated alive in a coffin?

Wu Dahan's honest face was full of shock, he should be very surprised that the cold man would actually know what he was going to do, and he nodded after a while, "That's right, after twelve o'clock in the evening, I will go to the cemetery to dig up the grave, and then get my father back." Little brother, you are not from our Tuoshi Ridge, how can you know so much? ”

In fact, the cold man told him the reason for such a guess before he said it, but Wu Dahan was too shocked, so he couldn't help but ask. We were shocked by his words, and I was thinking, what the hell is this custom, to be buried alive at seventy-three eighty-four, and to be buried alive and to dig it out, and if you are full, you have nothing to do, right?

The cold man just waved his hand and motioned for Wu Dahan to finish what he hadn't said just now.

Wu Dahan quickly glanced at his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law also looked at the cold man with a shocked face, and then he continued: "As the saying goes, seventy-three eighty-four, the king of Hades does not ask himself to go, and when he lives to this age, he should go to see the king of Hades." Therefore, the family members of the old man who live to this age will send him to the cemetery in the evening to be buried, which is called sending God. After twelve o'clock he went to dig up the old man's grave, and if the old man was still alive, it meant that the king of Hades did not want it, and the family would have to pick it up in the middle of the night, and no one should be met on the way; If the old man went, it meant that he had been summoned by Hades. ”

We were dumbfounded when we heard this remark!

It's really a big forest, there are all kinds of birds, there is still this custom, and it has been passed down for so many years, people who are in fashion with this custom, are their brains squeezed by the door, put a big living person in a coffin and bury it in the ground, he won't suffocate to death, it's no wonder, what else was called away by the king of Hades!

I originally wanted to ask the people in Wu Dahan's village if they felt that this custom was not quite right, but thinking about the fierce reaction of the two of them just now, they have always accepted this concept, thinking that this kind of thing is natural, and they will never feel that there is something wrong with this custom circulating in the village.

After Wu Dahan finished speaking, we were silent for a moment, and the trendy man continued to ask, "Brother Wu, what is that thing that has been following us?" One of the funeral people was killed by that thing......"

At the mention of that thing, Wu Dahan was obviously trembling, and quickly waved his hand to stop the trendy man from talking, he then picked up a bowl of water, and drank most of the bowl with a bang, then he raised his head and said in a trembling voice, "I don't know what it is, I only know that the people in the village call them Night Charmer." ”

When the word "Night Charmer" was mentioned, Wu Dahan trembled so much, as if he could be killed by mentioning the name of that thing, his daughter-in-law opened the door in horror and looked at it, only then she trembled and retracted, her face was extremely pale.

Judging by the reactions of the two of them, we all knew that we couldn't ask anything more, so we could only drink water in silence.

A few people sat like this for a long time, Wu Dahan looked at the time, stood up and whispered, "Now it's time to go to the cemetery to pick up my father." ”

We glanced at each other, and always felt that this sentence was very awkward, but they all stood up and said to Wu Dahan that we should go too, anyway, we have already sent God, and it is not a big deal to invite back again.

Wu Dahan hesitated for a moment but agreed, I even felt that he was a little lucky, after all, he went to dig a grave in the mountains alone, and he panicked thinking about it, if there were more of us three people to help, it would naturally be different, at least the courage is strong.

After promising us to follow, Wu Dahan picked a kerosene lamp with a stick, and then asked the three of us to take a paper figure each, and when he walked out of the door, he whispered, "As long as the kerosene lamp is not extinguished on the way to go, we can continue to move forward, if the kerosene lamp goes out, we have to come back quickly, do you hear?" ”

The three of us nodded in agreement.

Wu Dahan saw that we agreed, so he took us out of the house and walked towards the cemetery.

It was just after twelve o'clock in the village, and it was the darkest hour, and it was very dark, without a trace of moon or wind, and the whole village was dead silent.

Each of the three of us held a pale paper figure in our hands and walked slowly in the direction of the cemetery.
