Cheng Xinghe was also stunned: "Starve to death, these people, don't have anything to eat at home?" ”

The little girl shook her head and said something creepy: "If you have something, you won't give it to the old man and the old lady!" ”

Bai Huoxiang couldn't help it: "Why? ”

The little girl replied while playing with her braids: "Aren't you adults, you are very stupid for Mo Zi, of course, you don't let the old man and the old lady live too long." ”

She said this so easily that it was incomprehensible to us to listen to it.

In the Han nationality, it is the first hundred virtues and filial piety, even in the era of material shortage, if there is food, it must be given to the elderly first.

The third uncle and grandfather said that in the old days of starvation, there was a widow with an old woman and a young son, but the rations were not enough, so she saved the rations and gave them to the old woman, the younger son and herself to eat Guanyin soil, but the mother-in-law boiled it out, and the younger son starved to death.

After the mother-in-law found out, she scolded her daughter-in-law for not being virtuous, saying that she had an old bone and would die at any time, and the little grandson was the only descendant.

Then the old woman called the neighbors and eight families to denounce her daughter-in-law for being stupid, and she committed suicide by hitting the wall.

Everyone also said that the daughter-in-law was not a person, she was so ruthless, she killed her husband, starved her son, and killed her mother-in-law.

Afterwards, the people in the village said that the mother-in-law was virtuous, and also set up a memorial arch for the mother-in-law, and the daughter-in-law fell into a foolish filial piety, and the mother's family did not restrain her, and she fell into a place where she died without a place to be buried.

This story sends chills in the back of the ears - if she starves her mother-in-law to death and feeds her son, I don't think the benefits will fall on her either.

But with this story, we also know that we have always respected the old and loved the young, and the crow also knows how to feed back, what is the matter with starving to death the old parents who gave birth to themselves and raised themselves?

At this time, the little girl opened the curtain and came in, holding several side dishes on the table, and said very embarrassedly: "Our family has been preparing for a sacrifice recently, there are not many good things, and the gentlemen will go down." ”

I could see that this woman was living a delicate life, and there were not many side dishes, but they were all clean, neat, and neatly arranged, and I couldn't help but ask, "You people here, why don't you give food to the elderly?" ”

As soon as I asked this, the little girl's face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly looked at the little girl and said, "How many times have you spoken, don't talk so much if you shouldn't talk!" ”

The little girl pointed at us very aggrievedly: "That's what they told me to say." ”

I also told her not to blame the little girl, since this matter is left to us, we naturally have to ask - what if the clue is here!

The little girl hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Say it's okay, don't tell them, it's me who said it." ”

We agreed, and the little girl's mother said that not giving the old man food was originally the custom here, so as not to steal the old man's life.

Stealing longevity?

It turns out that there was an old man in this village before.

said that there was an old lady back then, who lived to be over eighty years old, and she has always been very tough, and her knees are full of children and grandchildren, but it is strange to say that none of the people in her family have a long life.

One year the old lady was seriously ill and couldn't see it, but she survived, but her son, who was in his sixties, died.

More than ten years later, she had another serious illness, and she survived again, but her grandson, who was in his forties, died.

After two people died in the family one after another, the old lady was in good spirits - even gray hair, growing new black hair, and living younger and younger.

The people in their village began to feel that something was wrong, and finally, at the funeral of her grandson, the old lady was more than a hundred years old at the time, the vigil began to discuss, and the granddaughter-in-law suddenly said that this grandson had dreamed of his grandmother before he died.

In the dream, his grandmother asked him for money to spend, he abided by filial piety, said of course it was okay, and when he took out his pocket, he found that there were dozens of dollars in his pocket, so he gave it all to his grandmother, and his grandmother was very happy to accept it, but his grandmother was cured, and the grandson died.

As soon as she heard this, the old lady's daughter-in-law, who had been widowed for many years, also slapped her thigh. said that before the old lady's son died, he also had the same dream.

The family knew that something was wrong, so they told the family that if they dreamed of their grandmother again, they should never give her money in their dreams.

After a while, the old lady was almost one hundred and twenty years old, and she was bedridden for another day.

The men of the clan dreamed that the old lady asked for money, but they covered their trouser pockets and refused to give it, so one of the grandsons couldn't hold back and gave the old lady a coin.

As a result, the old lady nodded in her dream, saying that it seemed that she couldn't survive this pass.

The next day, the old lady asked the clan to get herself some things for the funeral, and the family did so, and a month later, the old lady died, and the grandson, who had been given a coin in a dream, fell seriously ill and survived.

Some people who know how to do it say that the old lady has lived for so long, and has lived to become an old man, and if she can survive the age of one hundred and fifty, she will really achieve positive results and become an old witch, and from then on, the people in the village are afraid that their lives will be stolen by the old man, as long as there are those who live to be over eighty years old, they are tacitly thrown into the hut to wait for death - to prevent the old man from stealing the life of his offspring.

It is said that there was an old man in his early eighties, who could still work in the fields, and he worked hard every day to grow crops, but he was afraid that his family would throw him into the hut. But the stronger he was, the more his family was worried that his life was stolen and would affect future generations, and when he gave him some sleeping pills and threw them at the back of the house, half the village could hear the old man wailing: "I can still work, let me out!" I'm hungry! I'm hungry! ”

But where would anyone dare to do something? If the old man lives, won't the descendants of this family have a short life?

After howling for a while, there was no sound, and the old man's son went to carry the corpse—according to what he saw, the old man was a sturdy man, but he was so hungry that he was thin to a handful of bones, and his arms were not as thick as a wheat pole.

And the more miserable the old man's death, the bigger the funeral of the children of this family, for fear of being stigmatized as unfilial, if there is no gold at home, the daughter-in-law melts the earrings and face, and she has to do a good job of Zhenkou gold, which should be there, and it must not be less, otherwise it will be laughed at by the village.

Over the years, this has been the rule here - the funeral is done decently, regardless of how you died.

Cheng Xinghe was dumbfounded: "Do it one by one - I didn't expect that I would have an old day?" ”

The woman sighed and shook her head: "Every family is like this, what is the way, if the son is reluctant to leave the hut, the nephew and nephew will also take care of it—I am afraid that the old man will be old and affect himself and steal his own life." Therefore, the people in the village only seek heaven and earth, so that they don't have to live past eighty and become an old man. ”

Bai Huoxiang was usually cold, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this murder?" ”

This place is deep in the mountains, and it is not connected to the outside world all year round, where is there so much rhetoric.

And now that the old man has come back to eat, they don't think about starving the old man to death, and they still push the matter to the funeral is not decent enough, how chilling it is.

Cheng Xinghe looked at me: "Qixing, you say, is this a starving ghost to avenge his grievances?" ”

If people are starved to death like this, of course, there is resentment, but there is a little strangeness, if this is the case, it is understandable that the haunting and the corpse are faked, but what is the matter with just digging the grave and missing a skull?

Coupled with this Feng Xiao Nine Days Feng Shui, I faintly feel that things are not so simple.

So I told the woman that after a while, I would take us to the cemetery.

The woman hurriedly agreed.

Xiao Hei Impermanence, who has been silent, is still a sneer, and Xiao Bai Impermanence only cares about eating.

After eating, the impermanence brother disappeared, and it is estimated that he went alone to find the baby.

When we arrived at the cemetery, Cheng Xinghe couldn't help but gasp: "This place has been bombed, right?" ”

I saw that the large cemetery had been dug up and scattered, and only the earth pits were left - it is conceivable that the locals had brought the coffins to their homes for funeral services.

There was a grave that was an old man, and no one paid attention to it when he died, and the coffin was thrown aside in tatters, and it still remained the same as when it was dug.

When I looked over and looked, my heart suddenly became clear—this grave was not drilled out of the inside by a dead man, but dug open from the outside.

And that trace—not dug by hand, let alone with a shovel," looked very strange, and the edges were a bit like plum petals.

Who the hell dug the coffin and took the skull, and how did those old people come back to eat?

At this time, it was slowly getting dark, and the women began to get a little nervous: "Those old men and old ladies are coming to eat again!" ”

In that case, I said let's go back to the village, and I'll see what the hell is going on with those old men and old ladies.
