At the same time, in the mouth of the coffin that had been pushed open, a head suddenly appeared, Wang Yazhuo covered his mouth and screamed, I was also stunned for a while, Wang Yazhuo was about to call someone, I asked her not to panic, because, lying in the coffin, is a woman who looks a little weak,

Wang Yazhuo's exclamation did not alarm Lao Zhao, it seemed that Lao Zhao had fallen asleep, but Yin Jun quickly pushed the door and ran out, he asked us what was going on, the candle in Wang Yazhuo's hand was almost extinguished, Wang Yazhuo was shocked, Yin Jun also saw the woman who had sat up in the coffin,

This woman was still holding my hand, glaring at me with a resentful face, I pulled my hand back and asked who she was, but she didn't answer my question, but asked who we were, why did we push the coffin lid, Wang Yazhuo was frightened, seeing that the woman still questioned us, Wang Yazhuo immediately returned the mouth, saying that she was not a dead person in the middle of the night, why did she lie sneakily in a coffin,

And I, on the other hand, suddenly remembered what Lao Zhao said, this coffin is not a dead person, but a living person.

This woman was furious, told us to get out of here quickly, and asked us to push the coffin lid back, this kind of request, it sounds really unbelievable, this woman's hands are cold, I saw the situation in the coffin, there is nothing but the woman, it is empty,

During the day, we didn't see anyone push open the lid of the coffin to deliver food to the woman, the woman's hands were very cold, and there was no blood on her face, she should have been lying in the coffin since last night when Lao Zhao and they came back with the coffin, and in the winter, she was lying inside, and she hadn't eaten for at least a whole day, she was definitely cold and hungry, and she was intoxicated

However, she still had to continue to lie in the coffin, the coffin lid was not pushed tightly, and there was a small gap, which should be used to provide air for the woman, Wang Yazhuo still wanted to continue to ask, I stopped her, I nodded to the woman, and said I would do it, and the woman lay back in the coffin,

Her face, facing us, her eyes were wide open, in the flickering candlelight, her pale face was slightly yellowed, if it weren't for her to speak, she was no different from a dead man, I walked to the other end of the coffin, and pushed the coffin lid hard,

I pushed the coffin lid back to its original position, leaving a little space for the woman, when the coffin was pushed back to its original place, it happened that a cool wind blew, and the candle in Wang Yazhuo's hand was finally extinguished, and when I returned to the house, I told Wang Yazhuo and Yin Jun that this should have something to do with the strange customs in Yongcun, it is now a big night, and it is not suitable to argue too much, Yin Jun nodded, and also said what to say, wait for dawn to ask,

Wang Yazhuo glanced at me, looked at Yin Jun again, nodded, and pretended to be indifferent and went back to the room, Yin Jun didn't say anything to me, and went back to the room, I turned around and stared at the coffin for a while.

Ordinary coffins, not so heavy, even if there is a woman lying inside, it can't add much weight, I quickly thought that the really heavy thing should not be the coffin, but the coffin lid, I feel hard to push the coffin lid, let alone pick up the coffin lid,

Generally speaking, there are only two forms of coffin lids, one is open, and the other is push-pull, but no matter which kind of coffin, the coffin lid should not be so heavy, the coffin lid looks wooden, but even if it is solid wood, it will not be so heavy that I can push it hard.

I suspect that the outside of the coffin lid is made of wood, but the inside may be wrapped with stones or some kind of heavier metal, and a woman who has been lying in it for so long, not only will she not complain, but willingly, she will be unhappy because we push the coffin lid open, this kind of behavior, this custom, I have never seen before,

After resting for a night, the next day, after we all got up, we found that Lao Zhao was not at home, he should have gone to prepare the ingredients, Yin Jun was not at home, Wang Yazhuo and I were wondering if Yin Jun was going to meet with the person behind the scenes again, Yin Jun came back,

When he saw us, he was as if nothing had happened,

Wang Yazhuo asked him where he went, Yin Jun replied that he went out early in the morning to settle those subordinates who were sleeping in the wild, last night, Yin Jun said that he would find a way to settle those people, and now, he really got it done early in the morning, Yin Jun asked people to go to the county to buy tents and some quilts for those people to use, he told us, don't worry about it now,

"When you go out, you settle them," Wang Yazhuo asked again,

Yin Jun shook his head: "More than that," as he spoke, Yin Jun looked at the coffin and said that we may be in trouble, Wang Yazhuo asked what was going on, Yin Jun lowered his voice and asked us to be careful when we talked, because the woman was still lying in the coffin, Yin Jun said, he went out, and by the way, he inquired about the strange customs in this village,

The locals, this custom, called the coffin, the so-called coffin, is to offer the coffin, in the local area, the villagers all believe that the coffin is sacred, they never use the coffin to hold the dead, but will use the coffin to hold the living, this sounds, unbelievable, because this custom, and other common regional customs, is completely opposite,

The coffin is sacred, and the villagers of Yongcun even worship the coffin as a god, which is a little different from religion, although religion is also some ethereal things or sculptures, but in the hearts of believers, those sculptures are just a representative of God, and what they really believe in is the god corresponding to religion.

And the coffin of Yongcun is different, Yin Jun heard that these coffins do not correspond to any gods, if you have to give the coffin a meaning, it may be in the hearts of the villagers of Yongcun, the coffin is the mascot, that's all, the locals, all year round will worship a coffin, they believe that offering a coffin at their own door will bring auspiciousness to themselves,

The exact origin of this custom has no certificate to be examined, Yongcun is a small place, no one will specifically record its cultural customs, it can be said that because of the remoteness of Yongcun, it has been forgotten by Yongxian County, so in the county annals, there should be no trace of the origin of this custom,

However, the villagers all said that this custom has a history of dozens or hundreds of years, according to legend, the earliest because the village began to have an infectious disease, infected people, all died, just when the whole village was about to die, there was a very mysterious person passed here, that person, taught the Yongcun people the method of offering coffins, and let people lie in the coffin, saying that it can eliminate disasters and diseases,

Legend has it that it worked, and those who were sick were all recovered.

Since then, the coffin has been enshrined in Yongcun,

They extended and widened the eaves for their own residence, so that they could shelter the coffin from the wind and rain, the people of Yongcun worshiped the coffin, it was in turn, so many people in the village, from house to house, had to take turns several times a year, each time they would worship for three days, and as long as someone in the village was sick, they would lie down in the coffin that was enshrined, this trip, that is, one or two days, except for drinking some water, not eating, not coming out,

It's okay in winter, it's just a little colder, but if it's summer, being stuffed in that coffin, although she can breathe, it's definitely a torment, the woman lying in the coffin, no wonder she is so unhappy, she must be sick, just lying in the coffin, she must also feel that if we push the coffin lid, it will bring her ominous, and it is disrespectful to the coffin,

Hearing this custom, Wang Yazhuo couldn't believe it: "Decades or even hundreds of years have passed, have the sick people recovered when they lie in the coffin?"

Before Yin Jun could answer, I spoke: "Similar to religion, even if it doesn't work, you have to believe that the villagers will not question what they believe in, they will only feel that they are not pious enough, and don't question some customs similar to religion, why did they suddenly arise, the spread of people's hearts and superstitions is the root cause of these things,"

Yin Jun nodded, he said that what he inquired about was that there were very few serious illnesses in Yongcun, and some minor illnesses could heal themselves after a period of time without treatment, and over the years, some people who were seriously ill or seriously injured lay in coffins and finally died, and the villagers also said that they were not pious enough.

That's the terrible thing about superstition,

Yin Jun said, and mentioned another thing that made me care, he told me that the customs in the village are not only for coffins,

Yin Jun told me that there is another legend in Yongcun, which is about the resurrection of people from the dead......
