According to ancient folk customs, the colors of coffins are divided into five types: red, white, black and gold.
There is something special about it. For example, when an old man dies, he is mourning, so he uses a red coffin.
People who died suddenly or accidentally would use a black coffin.
Because poor families cannot afford coffins, most of them wrap their bodies with straw mats or just pick up a few wooden boards to make simple coffins, and these happen to be yellow, so the poor families use yellow coffins.
Gold coffins are naturally the preserve of the rich, but in ancient times most were just coated with a layer of gold paint. Nowadays, even ghosts can enjoy this benefit.
As for the last type of white coffin, it is only used by unmarried women and unmarried men.
If according to what Li Yuan said, it was a coffin for the elderly at home, logically speaking, a red coffin should be prepared.
But the coffin here is black and has a deep color, which makes people feel uncomfortable at first glance.
And according to him, every household in the village has such a coffin. It would be a bit intriguing if they were all black.
Su Yuan tried to use his ghost eyes to penetrate the obstruction of the coffin, but at this moment, he found strangely that the ghost eyes could not see through the situation in the coffin, and his color changed slightly.
Sure enough... abnormalities still exist in this weird village.
Just when he was about to open the coffin to find out what was going on, Li Yuan shouted towards the kitchen where the smoke was rising: "Mother, there are guests at home today, please cook two more dishes..."
At this time, there was movement in the room, and then a woman who looked to be in her thirties came out.
This woman didn't look much different from ordinary rural women. She smelled of firewood, and she had obviously been cooking in the kitchen.
She gave Su Yuan an apologetic smile, then grabbed her man and dragged him into the house.
"You damn ghost, why do you bring everything to your house? You know you don't have much food at home, so what are you going to do to greet the guests?"
"Hey, you bitch, what's the big deal? You don't have any food to borrow. It's not like you won't pay it back. Go to the village butcher shop and borrow some meat. There seems to be a pig slaughter there today. Get more fresh pig heads.
Let’s serve the food and wine with the pig’s ears. It’s rare to have guests at home today, so I have to entertain them tonight.”
"Let me tell you, this little brother comes from outside. You can tell he is very talented at first glance. He is a distinguished guest in the village and cannot be ignored."
"You bastard, that's easy to say. If I borrow something from someone else, even if I borrow it, I won't be able to return it when the time comes."
"Hey, you are so stupid, go to Lao Wang's house next door and borrow it. His wife died early and has been single for a long time. If you go and borrow it, I'm sure you can get it!"
Although the two of them were hiding in the back room and talking, their voices were not muted at all, so that Su Yuan did not hear them outside.
Su Yuan: "???"
This doesn’t sound right!
Let your wife go to Lao Wang’s house next door to borrow something?
Didn’t this mean that I had found a piece of green Hulunbeit prairie for myself?
Is there such a generous man these days?
Hearing this, Su Yuan couldn't sit still.
He didn't want others to make such a big sacrifice for his own sake.
What's more, he really doesn't dare to eat the food here?
I quickly dissuade these two people from entertaining him.
To be honest, with Su Yuan's current condition, not eating or drinking for a short period of time is not a problem, not to mention that he has a certain amount of daily necessities in Gaoyao's haunted house.
I don't dare to say how long he can last, but judging from his physique and the amount of food reserves, living alone in the wild for half a year is not a problem.
In other words, even if you are trapped in a supernatural place, there will be no problems for a short time.
Su Yuan said that he brought his own dry food and didn't need it.
But Li Yuan was very stubborn. He was very hospitable and would invite Su Yuan to have a meal at home no matter what. He almost rushed his mother-in-law to Lao Wang's house next door.
Seeing his mother-in-law twisting her waist and leaving, Li Yuan smiled honestly and said: "Come on, little brother, come in quickly, don't continue to stand in the yard, go in and have a sip of hot tea.
.”
Looking at Li Yuan's warm and hospitable smile, Su Yuan didn't know if it was an illusion, but Su Yuan always felt that this honest and honest man always wore strong colors on his head.
"Come on, little brother, tell me what's going on in the outside world now. People in the countryside like me are very curious. Who is the emperor outside now..."
This conversation lasted for a long time.
The weather lasted from afternoon to dusk, and it was almost getting dark. Li Yuan's wife went to Lao Wang's house next door, but she disappeared.
I haven't seen any sign of coming back.
Logically speaking, the village is not big, and the neighbor Lao Wang's house is not far away, so it won't take so long.
Perhaps Li Yuan's wife had such a good relationship with Lao Wang that she borrowed too many things at one time and forgot the time to go home and cook.
But Li Yuan couldn't sit still. From his honest point of view, this wouldn't work!
How could you keep the guests waiting for so long?
So he hurriedly showed an apologetic smile to Su Yuan.
"I'm sorry, little brother, my mother-in-law has committed some stupid thing, and she hasn't come back yet. It must be that scoundrel guy Lao Wang who has been pestering her for a long time and won't let her come back. Please wait a moment, I will come back now.
Go ask her to come back and cook."
After that, he stood up and hurriedly went to the next door neighbor's house to find Lao Wang.
Su Yuan: “…”
But when he was about to step out of the door, the farmer seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly lit the oil lamp in the room, and said to Su Yuan:
"By the way, little brother, you are a foreigner. You may not know the taboos in the village. There are rules in the village. You must not go out after dark. Remember, I have to find my mother-in-law before it gets dark.
Otherwise, she will have to spend the night at Lao Wang's house tonight."
"..."
Before Su Yuan could answer, he ran out in a flash, running so fast that no one had time to stop him.
At this time, Su Yuan was the only one left in the room.
Because of its orientation, the room was always filled with a lingering coldness. The candlelight of the oil lamp flickered, and the orange light could not illuminate the entire room. On the contrary, it cast shadows around it, adding to the ambience.
Weird feeling.
Coupled with the black coffin placed in the center of the room, under this situation, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel terrible.
It's like a scene from a horror movie.
At this time, Su Yuan also smelled a strange smell.
Looking along the source of the smell, his eyes quickly focused on the oil lamp that Li Yuan lit before leaving.
Su Yuan walked over, took a look at the oil in the oil lamp, and couldn't help but frown.
