Professor He's "White Happiness" event was held the next day. Since he died at the right time, he was called "White Happiness". A thick coffin burial was indispensable. Fu Wu and Professor He had been friends for a long time, and there was a lot of fanfare.
A cow was killed, and it was necessary for Professor He to hold a grand funeral. Some villagers in the Miao village played the suona and sent Professor He's soul away with a sad yet heroic piece of music.
Bai Yi and Tang Sancheng changed Professor He into a shroud and stroked Professor He's stiffened arm. Bai Yi felt sad. This sadness was only due to the similar emotional life between himself and Professor He. Could it be that he had to wait until before his death?
Will we meet again one day? Tang Sancheng arranged the shroud for Professor He: "Bai Yi, come on!!"
The two carefully lifted Professor He's body and put it into the prepared coffin. Just as they were about to close the coffin lid, Fu Wu shouted: "Wait!"
Fu Wu came over and said first: "Professor, I'm sorry." He actually reached into the coffin, opened Professor He's mouth, looked inside, and then shouted to the person next to him: "Here, bring the chisel!"
Tang Sancheng was confused and couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
Fu Wu didn't answer. He took the chisel and dug into Professor He's front teeth until a hole was made. Then he stopped and took out a small piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it in.
Then he closed Professor He's mouth.
Not to mention how ugly Tang Sancheng's face was, wasn't this disrespectful to the deceased? Bai Yi was calm: "Chief, what are you doing?" Even Qixie glared at Fu Wu.
"What you don't know is that in our Miao village, if the deceased's teeth are complete, one front tooth must be chiseled out before he can be buried, and a silver grain or piece of silver is placed in the mouth of the deceased. It is intended that if the mouth contains gold and silver, the glory will be returned
Zong's intention is not to be disrespectful to Professor He's body. This is really a huge misunderstanding." Fu Wu said: "The professor has no relatives, so the four of us will wear sackcloth and send him off. Don't you have any objections?
?”
"No." Tang Sancheng and Bai Yi had already wrapped a piece of white linen around their waists to replace the linen clothes. Qixie had already surrounded them earlier, which showed that Qixie was simple and kind-hearted. Seeing that the two were well prepared, Fu Wu
Then they were asked to close the coffin lid, put ropes on it, and put on wooden sticks as thick as fists. Four villagers immediately came up and put the wooden sticks on their shoulders. Fu Wu looked at the time and shouted: "
Get up!"
Tang Sancheng and three others followed the coffin and set off with the crowd. Not long after, Tang Sancheng discovered that everyone went straight down without turning. As long as there was a road, they kept walking forward, always maintaining the same direction.
He was confused and asked Bai Yi again: "What is going on?"
"I don't know, let's see when the time comes." Bai Yi has never seen a Miao funeral and doesn't know the situation. Since Fu Wu takes the lead, it makes sense.
A group of people carried the coffin, playing suonas along the way, and walked forward until they came to a forest with no way ahead. Fu Wu raised his right hand and the villagers carrying the coffin stopped. Fu Wu said:
"Just right here."
The coffin was put down, and the accompanying villagers carrying tools came forward with shovels and started digging. It looked like they were going to dig out a grave on the spot. The two of them had countless questions to ask. Fortunately, Fu Wu took the initiative to explain: "
According to the rules of our Miao people, when choosing a tomb, you should walk forward, without turning or going around in the middle. You can stop when there is no way ahead, and that is the tomb for burial." Another saying, the two heads
Once I heard about it, I thought it was incredible.
After a lot of work, the tomb was finally dug and the coffin was lowered steadily. Tang Sancheng and Bai Yi felt sad. They stepped forward and grabbed two handfuls of earth with their hands and sprinkled it on the coffin. Tang Sancheng's voice was slightly crying.
, this situation reminded him of his father. When the old man passed away, would there be someone to see him off?
"Professor He, you have to go all the way." Tang Sancheng was so sad that he burst into tears. His sad cry made Bai Yi's nose sore. The others were infected by the cry, and the corners of their eyes became wet.
Several people gently wiped the corners of their eyes with their sleeves.
The coffin slowly disappeared into the soil, and Professor He was finally laid to rest. Seeing that Tang Sancheng was still sobbing, Fu Wu comforted him and said, "Don't be sad. I will build a monument for Professor He when I come down the mountain."
Bai Yi said nothing, turned around, and happened to see the "lonely peak". He didn't expect that after Professor He passed away, he could see the destination he chose. This fate is really tight, even death can
