This funeral procession was playing suona all the way. It was a long procession, with one or two hundred people in total. It was led by two young people. Each of these two young people held a tree stick. The two tree sticks started.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing special, but if you look closely, you will find that each of the two tree sticks has several branches, with some yellow paper wrapped around them.
Qin Yu and others sitting in the car just watched the funeral procession approaching, but at this time, Chimuzha spoke up, "Have you noticed anything unusual? In this entire Shizhai Village, when we came in earlier,
, I haven’t met anyone. Logically speaking, how could there be people in such a big village? Even if there weren’t, there should be some children playing, but now this Shizhai Village seems to be a dead place.
It’s like a village, not a single person is seen.”
It's okay that Chimu Zha didn't say it. When everyone thought about it, it was indeed the case. After the car entered Shizhai Village, they seemed to have not seen anyone. They didn't think about it before, but now Chimu Zha
This reminder is really strange when you think about it.
"That's because the people in Shizhai Village knew that someone was going to be buried today, so they all hid at home or went out." Qin Yu sat in the back row and replied leisurely.
In fact, he had noticed what Chimuzha said before, but he didn't realize the reason, so he didn't tell anyone. But now he understands why he didn't meet anyone along the way. Those people should know that today
Someone was about to be buried and deliberately avoided it.
"Although there is a custom here to avoid a funeral procession, it's not such a taboo." A puzzled look appeared on Chimuzha's face. He is also from Yunnan, so he knows the local customs very well. When encountering a funeral procession,
Although the team has the habit of avoiding people, it is not to the point where everyone closes the door and hides inside without coming out.
While Qin Yu and the others were talking, the funeral procession had already arrived. Qin Yu looked out the window and saw the funeral procession passing by.
Except for the suona, everyone in this funeral procession was silent without making any sound. This made Qin Yu frown and whispered: "It's not a good death."
"Qin Yu, what are you muttering about? What does not mean a good death?" Mo Yongxing, who was sitting next to Qin Yu, asked in confusion after hearing Qin Yu's words.
"Although death is a sad thing, if it is the end of life and going to bed, usually the mourners will not have such a serious expression. They will have some conversation and even smile on their faces."
After Qin Yu finished speaking, Chimuzha took over and said: "Master Qin is right. Generally speaking, even the relatives of old people who die of old age will not feel too much sadness, because it is a good thing to die of old people.
, In today’s society, too few people can live a healthy life, and most of the elderly are taken away by diseases.”
"No, the person buried here is not an old man." Qin Yu interrupted Chimuzha and said calmly.
"Not an old man?"
Chimuzha was a little confused. Generally speaking, if a funeral procession of more than 200 people can be gathered, the most likely possibility is that the person being buried is an old man, because in many places now there is a rule that marriage cannot exceed three generations.
What does it mean? Visiting relatives, relatives’ birthdays, weddings, and other weddings and funerals are only limited to three generations. To give a simple example, the weddings and funerals between you and your sister must be carried out, and the same is true for your sister’s son and even daughter.
Even your sister's son's daughter's son's daughter's wedding has to be attended, but later on, you will give up.
Therefore, generally speaking, if the person who died was a young man or a child, it would be difficult to assemble such a large funeral procession, so Akagiza would think that the person who died was an old man.
"Because of the coffin!"
Qin Yu smiled without explaining too much. He looked forward through the car window. The team was already halfway through, and the person who appeared in front of them at this moment was the coffin bearer. When he saw the mouth
While carrying the coffin, Chimuzha and others finally understood why Qin Yu was so sure that the person who died was not an old man.
Because this coffin is a small coffin, only five feet long. This is the length of the entire coffin. Excluding the thickness of the coffin board, that is to say, the length of the space inside the coffin is actually less than four feet.
Four feet is only one meter and two meters. This length can only be the length of a child under ten years old. It definitely cannot be an adult or even an old man. Even if the old man is short, according to the rules,
After the old man died, the coffin became larger.
One round is big and one foot long!
This is what people who make coffins often say. This so-called round refers to a zodiac cycle, which is twelve years. Therefore, a truly knowledgeable coffin maker will make a coffin for the dead.
Ask about the age of the deceased, and even ask about how the deceased died, and even their birth date.
Depending on the cause of death and age of the deceased, there are many considerations when building a coffin, such as the number of nails and the thickness of the coffin board. Generally speaking, the thickness of the coffin of a person who died suddenly should be slightly thinner, because the thickness of the coffin should be slightly thinner.
People have grievances. If the coffin is too thick, the grievances cannot be dissipated, which will slowly lead to corpse transformation. There are many methods and techniques for all this.
A child was buried, and the funeral procession reached more than 200 people. Huangfu Zhenchuan and others looked at each other. This scene was really rare. Could it be that the customs in Shizhai Village were different from other places? When someone died in the village, the whole village
Are they all going to the funeral?
The whole village?
Huangfu Zhenchuan and Chimu Zha's eyes lit up at the same time, because they thought of a possibility. At that moment, Huangfu Zhenchuan said to Yang Kun: "Call the brother who is following the village and ask Na Shi
Did something happen in Zhaicun?"
The Shizhai Village that Huangfu Zhenchuan refers to naturally refers to the real Shizhai Village, not the later expanded Shizhai Village.
After Yang Kun responded, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. Not long after, the phone was connected. After Yang Kun asked a few questions, his eyes became brighter and brighter. When he put down the phone, he answered towards Huangfu Zhenchuan.
Said: "Longtou, my brothers just reported that except for some who were sick and couldn't get out of bed, almost all the villagers in Shizhai Village who were able to walk were sent out to bury a child."
"Sure enough, this team is the villagers of Shizhai Village." Huangfu Zhenchuan's face showed a clear look, because he had already thought of this before. There were exactly more than 200 people, and they were all dispatched, which was in line with the situation.
Under these conditions, only Shizhai Village, a very united and open-minded village, can achieve this.
"Palace Master Yang, please ask, how did this child die?" Qin Yu said to Yang Kun.
"good."
Yang Kun called again, but the call was not connected yet, but the funeral procession outside was in panic. Qin Yu immediately looked at the glass behind the carriage, but saw many people stopped at the entrance of the village behind.
There was a police car, and a large group of police officers rushed out of the car, completely blocking the path of the funeral procession.
The police blocked the road, which caused the funeral procession to panic. Moreover, Qin Yu noticed that many of the mourners had a look of panic on their faces, as if they were a little afraid of the arrival of the police.
This made Qin Yu a little confused. If it was just a funeral procession, then it seemed that the police should not be afraid. No matter how big the police were, they could not control people's funerals. Even if they were really afraid, it was because they were afraid that people from the funeral parlor would come and snatch the bodies.
"Let's go down and have a look."
After Qin Yu said hello, he pushed the car door open, got out of the car and walked back the way he came. When Mo Yongxing and others saw Qin Yu get out of the car, they naturally got out of the car and followed.
After getting off the bus, everyone discovered that there were quite a few police officers coming this time, nearly a hundred of them, and some even armed police officers were holding some explosion-proof shields and iron bars.
However, the funeral procession was not easy to deal with either. Dozens of young men were holding hoes, sickles, shovels and other tools in their hands to confront the police.
"Zhang Haisheng, you are the village chief. Do you know what your village is doing now? This is called violent resistance to the law. Believe it or not, the whole village will be arrested by then."
Before Qin Yu and others reached the two parties, they heard a middle-aged man in a shirt yelling at a skinny old man in front of the funeral procession.
"Secretary Wang, what is violent resistance to the law? You also know that a child died in our village and now the whole village has to go to the funeral. What do these police comrades mean by blocking the road? The funeral cannot delay the time. The villagers are also worried
Be anxious, if you police comrades have anything to do, you can wait until we bury the child."
The skinny old man had a smile on his face. Although his words seemed soft, if you listened carefully, you could understand that he was not prepared to compromise with these policemen.
"Zhang Haisheng, six children died in your village in a row. Some people reported that these children did not die of illness, but were killed by others. The police came to the village to investigate. Why didn't you allow it and destroyed the bodies of the children?
,Does your village want to harbor murderers?" the middle-aged man continued to ask.
"Secretary Wang, I don't like hearing this anymore. What is a murderer? It's just a child getting sick. Our village is a well-known model village. There have never been fights, let alone murderers. I'm sure
It was the police comrades who made a mistake and listened to misinformation."
"Since it is a misinformation, why don't you let us see the child's body and let the forensic doctor examine it? The rumor will be disproven!" The person who spoke was a policeman who was also the director of the County Public Security Bureau. This time he personally
He led the team because of the death of a child in Shizhai Village. (To be continued)
