Chapter 29: The Funeral
Zhou An didn't say much, what he wanted to do was a matter in the village, and he wouldn't interfere too much.
With the old Song Tou'er's decision, those villagers were ready to carry the old Wu Tou'er's body down the mountain, but at this time, Zhou An stopped those villagers.
"Master Song, even if you want to bury Wu Ye, you should let him have all the corpses, right?"
"Why don't we get Master Wu's head back?"
Hearing Zhou An say this, Old Song nodded hurriedly, indicating that this was the way it should be, and led people along the path to the awkward mouth.
Sure enough, they had known that there was a path that led to the bottom of the cliff.
Looking at the old Song Tou, who was familiar with the road, Zhou An concluded that the evil corpses in the mouth were the ones they had been offering sacrifices and offerings.
When they came to the bottom of the cliff, everyone looked at the position on the top of the mountain, and then looked at the position inside the corresponding mouth, but they did not find the head of the old Wu Tou'er, and there were only large red blood stains on the ground.
It seems that he didn't expect such a scene, and the old Song Tou'er beckoned everyone to disperse to look for it, after all, this cliff is not low, and the head is not allowed to roll to other places.
Everyone searched for a long time, and even found the corner of the mouth, but they still didn't find the head of the old Wu Tou'er.
Zhou An pointed to the crack that connected the Dead Man's Ditch and said.
"Master Song, will Master Wu's head roll into there?"
When he said this, Zhou An had been staring at Old Song Tou'er's face, just glanced at the crack, Old Song Tou'er's face changed instantly, as if he had seen something that made him extremely afraid, and his body involuntarily took two steps back.
Knowing that he was a little out of shape, Old Song Tou'er hurriedly pretended not to stand firm and waved his hand at Zhou An.
"Probably not, the crack is so far away from here, and there are so many stones here, how can it be possible to roll into it, absolutely impossible!"
His statement is a bit too perfunctory, you make people almost find the corner of the mouth, and now say that this crack is far away?
Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver?
Ignoring the old Song Tou'er, Zhou An walked towards the crack by himself, he wanted to see if the old Wu Tou'er's head was inside.
Walking into the crack, only Lao Song Tou'er followed up, and Zhang Chuxue and the two were left outside by him.
What made Zhou An a little strange was that there was really no old Wu Tou'er's head in this crack, he thought that Old Wu Tou'er's head would be where the evil corpse was missing the head, but after a glance, there was no one.
That's weird, where will the old Wu Tou'er's severed head go, is it possible that it was taken away by the old Song Tou'er?
After walking out of the crack, Zhou An frowned slightly, he still couldn't figure out why Old Wu'er's head disappeared. new
At this time, Lao Song Tou'er gave up and continued to look for Lao Wu's head, and shouted loudly for everyone to hurry up and bury Lao Wu's head as soon as possible.
followed everyone back to the top of the mountain and watched them carry the body of Old Wu Tou'er down the mountain.
On the way back, the more Zhou An looked at the corpse, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, and he looked at the corpse of the old Wu Tou'er and gradually became distracted.
"Hey Zhou An, what are you always doing looking at Old Wu'er's corpse?"
Zhang Chuxue, who was walking side by side with Zhou An, asked, Sun Xiang was a little scared, and walked behind the two, she still didn't dare to see the body of Old Wu Tou'er.
shook his head at Zhang Chuxue, he couldn't express his doubts in front of so many people, what if he was startled.
The villagers lined up in a long line to go down the mountain, perhaps because the death of the old Wu Tou'er was a little unusual this time, and the old Song Tou'er didn't plan to hold any funeral for him at all, so he hurried to prepare things, which was about to bury the old Wu Tou'er.
Zhou An and the three of them stood aside, quietly looking at the busy villagers, but they had already known that Old Wu Tou'er had been beheaded by these people, and now they always felt a little disgusted when they looked at their busy appearance.
After a while, a big red coffin was carried to the body of the old Wu Tou'er, and everyone put the old Wu Tou'er's body into the coffin and walked towards the cemetery in the village, where most people in the village were buried.
Because Lao Wu Touer was alone in the village, and the Song family happened to have a funeral, Lao Song Touer asked the Song family to put on filial piety clothes again, to be the filial son and grandson of Lao Wu Touer, and planned to send Lao Wu Touer on his last journey.
The funeral procession was a little quiet, everyone was walking with their heads down, and slowly, the funeral procession came to the cemetery in the village, what Zhou An didn't expect was that the cemetery in the village was so close to the grove, next to the grove.
"Master Song, is your granddaughter also buried here?"
