"Do you want to bring a gun?" Qin Liufeng asked.

"I still need you to remind me, I brought it a long time ago!" As she spoke, Zhao Xiangxiang took out a pistol from her clothes and said with a light in front of Qin Liufeng.

Qin Liufeng also immediately took out his pistol from his body, checked it, then put it back, checked the flashlight in his hand, and said, "Then let's go!" ”

"You go ahead!" Zhao Xiangxiang said to Qin Liufeng.

"Didn't you say you weren't afraid?" Qin Liufeng asked.

"It's not a question of whether you're scared or not, it's a question of you're a boy and I'm a girl!" Zhao Xiangxiang shook the flashlight and said.

Qin Liufeng shook his head and smiled, and led the way in front.

In other words, this path is really difficult to walk, and I don't know who dug it out, it is completely embedded in the cliff, what years have it been, and there are still people who will live in this kind of place.

Dozens of meters deep cliffs below, in the dark night, you can't see what's going on below, and the wind here seems to be very strong, pouring into the path, making a whining sound, like the sound of ghosts on TV.

And the sound they made when they walked on the ground also seemed a little frightening.

Moreover, this trail is also particularly strange, one will go down, one will go up, and there is even a section of the road, which is completely through the mountain, like a tunnel built yì.

Especially in one place, just out of the mouth of the tunnel, a cave appeared on the cliff, and as soon as people walked to it, they felt cold all over their bodies, and when they shone into it with a flashlight, they could not see the end at all.

Even if Qin Liufeng and Zhao Xiangxiang were bold, they didn't dare to stay there for too long, so they immediately went there and continued to move forward.

The road behind seemed more rugged and steeper, but it seemed to be going down, and there was a faint glow of fire in the col not far away.

If there is a fire, it means that there are people, seeing the firelight, Qin Liufeng and Zhao Xiangxiang are extremely happy, and they don't feel that they have accelerated a lot when they walk.

After a section of ladders made of wood that was almost vertical and made of wood, they finally came down the cliff!

There is a small stream in front, there is no bridge on the stream, only a row of jumping stones, wading through the stream, there is a path, next to this path, all are rice fields, this season, it is already the season of early rice harvesting, those yellow rice in the rice field, emitting a unique smell of grain ripeness.

I don't know if it's because the weather is not very good tonight, and there aren't many insect sounds, so it's a little quiet!

There are rice fields, and there should be people not far ahead.

After walking not far, I found that there was a village, and the houses were connected in a piece, and it seemed that there were quite a few, but there seemed to be no electricity here, and there were not many lights in the houses.

"Look!" Zhao Xiangxiang pointed to a place in the distance and said.

Qin Liufeng looked along the place guided by Zhao Xiangxiang, behind a large haystack, I don't know who lit a big bonfire.

If there is a bonfire, it means that someone has gathered there.

"Let's go, let's go over there first!" Qin Liufeng said.

With that, the two of them walked towards it.

This is supposed to be the threshing floor of the village, but although there is a bonfire, it is not as lively as everyone remembers, but it is particularly cold.

When I walked in, there were a lot of people gathered on the threshing floor, but no one spoke, everyone knelt on the ground, all wearing white filial piety clothes, and it seemed that someone had passed away here.

In front of the campfire, on two benches, there was a wooden door, and the door was covered with a white cloth with a corpse, which should be the deceased person, and at the same time, I saw a man dressed in a very exaggerated costume, also sitting there, with his eyes closed, muttering something in a very low voice.

Qin Liufeng knew that this should be a specific funeral ceremony here.

It's really unfortunate, I didn't expect that I finally came here and caught up with the dead.

The arrival of Qin Liufeng and Zhao Xiangxiang immediately attracted everyone's attention, and many people raised their heads and looked at Qin Liufeng and Zhao Xiangxiang curiously.

Soon, someone stood up from the crowd and greeted Qin Liufeng and Zhao Xiangxiang.

"Who are you, why did you come here at night?" The man was dressed in filial piety clothes, with hemp rope tied on his body, about forty years old, and when he spoke, he had a thick accent.

"Uncle, we are lost, walking and walking, we are here, it is a big night, I want to find a place to spend the night!" Zhao Xiangxiang said with a sweet smile.

"You guys are really capable, you can get lost and get here, but I'm afraid you can't spend the night!" The man said with some embarrassment.

"Why not, we can give money!" Zhao Xiangxiang said.

"It's not a matter of money or money, you have also seen that our old patriarch has passed away, according to the rules of our clan, everyone must be here to guard the soul of the old patriarch for three days and three nights, this is the first day, no one is allowed to live in all rooms!" The middle-aged man said.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Qin Liufeng and Zhao Xiangxiang couldn't help but look towards the venue, sure enough, almost all the old people and children are here, and a few women holding babies are also here.

"What then? We walked so far and were tired! Zhao Xiangxiang said.

"Otherwise, if you don't dislike it, you can take a nap in the haystack here, inside the house, you are absolutely not allowed to enter, as for eating, you can only be wronged, the rules in our clan, some people are not allowed to eat, you can drink some hot water!" The middle-aged man said.

"Alright then, I'll leave you alone!" Qin Liufeng said.

Now this is the case, and it has to be like this! After all, this is someone's place, and there is still such a thing as someone dying, this kind of thing, no matter where it is, it is very sacred, and it is also very taboo, and you can only respect others.

Afterwards, Qin Liufeng and Zhao Xiangxiang were on the side, looking for a clean haystack, leaning there, looking at the qiē here.

It can be seen that this should be a very closed clan, and the people here should rarely go out, basically, they should belong to a clan.

"The customs here, why are they so strange, it's really bad luck to encounter dead people as soon as you come!" Zhao Xiangxiang said very softly. R1148
