Chapter 206: The coffin in the house
"This is called General Mountain, Thousand Soldiers Ridge."
Look at each other.
Jiang Shui even blurted out subconsciously "General Mountain? Thousand Soldiers Ridge? Then, he immediately reacted and said, "I haven't heard of it, this place is very big, we can't find our way out when we walk, but fortunately I met you." ”
The old man didn't seem to have any doubts.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
But? Isn't this place called Doll Ridge?
Why is it called General Hill again? Thousand Soldiers Ridge?
Looking at the river, the old man lit a dry tobacco stick and smoked twice.
The room was immediately filled with thick smoke.
It was a bit unbearable, but we didn't show it.
"This Thousand Soldiers Ridge is very big, and it will be difficult to get out if you get lost, but fortunately, you haven't walked too deep now, and you can get out."
The old man took two more puffs, and then gave us a rough route.
And this route is the route we walked into Doll Ridge and walked all the way here, and it was exactly the same.
I was blown away by this!
"Uncle, I guess I won't be able to get out if I have to walk for a day, right?"
Glancing at Qin Yulu, the old man muttered, "Then go for two days, now that you are in a hurry, you can leave early." ”
Is the old man quietly giving an eviction order?
"Uncle, we really can't walk, can we rest here for a while?"
Jiang Shui took out a shameless spirit at this time.
The old man glanced at us, and then said, "Don't wander around, let's go when you're rested." With that, the old man turned and walked out.
Then he sat down on the bench at the entrance of the village.
Although we were tired and tired, none of the four of us could sleep.
Even if the river water has been lying on the kang, it has no intention of sleeping with his eyes open.
"I sat at the entrance of the village again." Looking at the old man sitting at the entrance of the village outside the window, Qin Yulu muttered in a low voice.
"General Mountain, Thousand Soldiers Ridge? No, isn't it Doll Ridge? Is there another name? Jiang Shui said in surprise with a gloomy face.
"According to the clues we had before, in 1956, the team secretly came here to explore, this place is still called Doll Ridge, there is no General Mountain, Qianbing Ridge said, so, this statement should have been circulated more before, and then slowly changed to Doll Ridge." Qin Feng analyzed in a low voice.
"Republic of China period?" I spoke.
"It's possible that the old man's dress is very close to the Republic of China period, and the old man's age is estimated to be about 70? In this way, the old man was just a child during the Republic of China, unless he had left Doll Ridge for so many years. ”
Looking at Qin Feng, I frowned and said, "But the route out of Doll Ridge from here is very familiar to the old man!" ”
For a while, we didn't know how to explain what we were seeing.
"It's better to ......"
Qin Yulu pointed to the window next to him.
I knew what she was thinking at once.
Sneak out of the back window, and then check out the village.
Of course, without alarming the old man.
The old man sat at the entrance of the village, and according to this situation, he would not come back for a while.
With no objection, we immediately jumped out of the back window.
Behind the house is a backyard, but nothing is planted.
It's a deserted house.
But in the back you can also walk to the side house.
It's also a backyard, but it's also a deserted yard.
It seems that the people of this village don't like to grow things behind the house.
Strangely, however, the courtyard had been clearly turned over again.
Usually this is just to grow something, which is a bit of a self-contradiction.
Jiang Shui slipped to the window at the back of the room first.
Then he cautiously opened it a little and looked inside.
"Fuck me!" He immediately screamed in fright and closed the window.
The three of us immediately nervously approached.
Qin Feng opened the window again, and when I saw it inside, I also gasped.
Originally, I wanted to reprimand Jiang Shui, but now I have dispelled this idea.
There was a coffin in the house.
And it's right in the middle of the room.
The coffin is not that big, two meters long, and not too wide, so it can be placed.
It's that kind of wooden coffin, not a good coffin, it's ordinary.
With the lid on, you can't see inside the coffin.
But the house was empty, and there was nothing on the kang.
There is only one room in this house, and on the outside is the kitchen stove.
I didn't see anyone going out and walking.
So, the house itself is not inhabited?
"It was normal to have a coffin in the house, and it used to be a normal thing." Qin Feng muttered to himself and muttered quietly.
In ancient history, it was a normal thing for every family to put a coffin at home, and if there was no coffin in the house, it must be unaffordable! Since ancient times, China has respected the dead, and even ordinary families will bury the deceased in the form of the highest standard, while the ancient royal family and nobles are more luxurious, and they are the funeral goods of gold and silver at every turn.
Nowadays, in many rural homes, you can still see some rural families will put a coffin at home, they call it "happy coffin", generally this kind of coffin is not painted, only after the death of people will be painted. And such a "happy coffin" will generally be prepared when the old man is alive, which means that the elders in the family will live for a longer period of time, if some old people are sick, they will also create a longevity coffin to the old people, the purpose is to let them be safe and live a long life.
In fact, there are still many taboos about placing a coffin at home, for example, the coffin must be placed at the foot of the wall, and cannot be rained, flooded, damp, etc., so placing it on the beam is the best choice, and it does not occupy a place at home.
These are known, but .......
