As the eldest grandson, Kakang has always been on the sidelines.

Since grandma is a person from Bai Miao, she has stayed here all her life, so she naturally has to use the unique ritual of the Miao people.

I don't understand these things, so naturally I can't help, but Zhai Lao wants me to learn here, after all, I am the young master and the descendant of Aunt Qiao.

Occasionally, the old man would come over to take a look, and he was afraid that I would be bullied.

But Cacan has always been polite to me since he learned who I am, and we are both about the same age, and with the addition of the three of us, we often sit together.

Without his grandmother, Kacan looked very depressed.

He used to think that his grandmother was too old and he didn't want to marry.

Even if there are several girls in the debt who are attracted to him, he has no time to talk to others, and his heart is only to take care of his grandmother.

Now that he thinks about it, he regrets it a little.

"I should have gotten married in front of my grandmother and had a big fat grandson to hug him."

In the face of what he said, we didn't know how to comfort us, so we could only accompany us on the side.

Al occasionally comes to see and tell me about Xizi's situation by the way.

Now that it has been determined that there is no river god in the river, everyone is quite good to Xizi.

But she was still young, twelve or thirteen years old, and needed someone to take care of her.

It's a trouble for her to even grow up, after all, he is the only one who is an orphan in the village, and if there is another absurd human sacrifice incident, there will be no one to protect her when I am gone.

"You don't have to worry about that......" Al looked at me, but he didn't say anything, his face and neck were flushed.

I don't know why.

Usiken's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Al and asked softly, "No, you're getting married?" ”

I was stunned, this Xizi was only twelve or thirteen years old, and Al was only fifteen or sixteen.

But the next minute I was relieved, this is the Miao people, not so particular.

Someone can take care of it, and I can't take care of the rest.

We sat and chatted and chatted until midnight.

When Al was a child, growing his body,

In the middle of the night, I said that I was hungry, and I ran to the kitchen alone, and I didn't know what to eat.

We're going to keep a night vigil anyway, and since he's going to cook, we'll wait here.

It didn't take long for him to get dressed, and I ran out of the kitchen with a bunch of kitchen knives.

It may not be appropriate to run, because his eyes are wandering around, as if he is chasing something, and he should be chasing it.

"Why? In the middle of the night, there is also a mourning hall here, are you scared? What if you collide with the old lady and look at you! ”

I yelled loudly, and the villagers who were helping to sing Miao funeral songs were also startled.

"I just saw a black thing, I don't know if it's a mouse or what, the boss ate it and ran outside, I chased it out, if you want to talk about a mouse, of course you have to kill it!"

He looked a little nervous, and when he said this, Wuxiken next to me stood up.

I didn't know what was going on with them, so I followed Usiken to El.

Wu Xiken looked nervous: "Are you sure it's black?" How big is it? ”

"I'm so sure! It's about the length of my arm, and I've heard my grandparents say that if this kind of thing appears in the mourning hall, it is estimated that something bad is going to happen, so what can I do now? Al was sweating profusely as soon as he was in a hurry, and his hand holding the kitchen knife was shaking.

It was only later that he told me that it was a legend similar to that unique to their black seedlings.

said that if there was such a thing in the mourning hall, it was very likely that the corpse would be deceived or something.

If it is a corpse, then the family will not have good luck for the rest of their lives.

So everyone is very taboo.

He's the one who came to help, and he had to kill it when he saw it, but all these years have passed. No one has ever seen such a thing in their home, so everyone thinks it's just a legend.

But today Al saw it, and he didn't know what to do.

"Tell Cacom about this first and see what he has to say." I propose.

While we were debating what to tell Kacom, he walked out of the mourning hall himself.

"I heard what you just said, Al, where did you see that? I have to beat him to death, or I'll be finished. I'm the only one left in our family, and if I'm unlucky, if that thing kills me, then our family will be ruined. ”

The truth of this matter still needs to be investigated, but since they are all convinced, it must be investigated.

"That's it, you are still in charge of the overall situation here, so you can go in first. It's okay for a few of us, we'll take care of that thing. But I need to know what it's here for. "I gave the assignment and looked at Usiken.

He's older, so he should know more.

Wuxiken lowered his head and thought for a moment before telling me, "It's very likely that they came for the corpse." ”

Corpse?

People are already dead, what does it want corpses for?

"Are you going to take the corpse away?" I raised a not-so-mature question.

Kacan and Al looked at me like idiots for a moment, but my question wasn't unreasonable.

If it is good, no one will covet the corpse.

It didn't seem right, but I thought slowly towards my own words.

There is also a possibility!

"Will it eat corpse meat?" I looked at them.

Kakang's face instantly turned bad: "My grandmother didn't offend anyone before her death, if she really said that she was guilty, she could only say that she was Bai Miao's, and she shouldn't marry Hei Miao." But this is also the saying of the past, and now in the Central Plains, this traditional thinking has long been gone. ”

He has a point, but the reasoning is in the wrong direction.

"It's very likely that it's not that you've offended anyone, but that someone is keeping that black thing. Moreover, since childhood, it has been fed corpse meat, so when someone dies in the village, it will be brought out. I touched my nose and thought about it again.

But a few days ago, when Uncle Jin died, he had never seen this black-haired rat at all.

What's going on?

While I was still figuring out why that black-haired rat was here. Suddenly, there was a flash of brushing in front of my eyes, and a black furry thing flew past.

"Let's chase it, you hurry back to the mourning hall to preside over the overall situation." I turned back to Cacan as I ran, and a few of us ran out in the direction of the big mouse.
