Fortunately, the village chief of the Zhuzi Village was very enthusiastic, and the people trapped in the heavy rain were assigned to live in the villagers' homes.

It was raining raining at night. The villagers in the village said that mudslides had already occurred in several places on the mountain, and the way out was basically blocked.

There are only two ways for them to get out.

First, wait for rescue.

Second, walk out.

The heavy rain is still falling, so it is unlikely to go out.

Even if you walk, it is quite dangerous.

Now I can only wait for the rain to stop before talking.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Just after having supper at the villagers' home, Ding Jie went to the village committee.

It is said to be a village committee, but it is actually the ancestral hall in the village.

The village is not big, with a total of about 100 households, and they are basically related to their relatives.

In other words, the villagers in this village are basically all a whole family.

Basically they are all the same surname, dead.

The surname is dead.

I am afraid I will spend the next few days in this village.

To be honest, this village always gives Ding Jie a gloomy feeling.

Can't say it.

But the villagers in the village are quite enthusiastic.

When I entered the village, I said I would pay for staying overnight.

But the villagers didn't want it.

Don't want to.

Very enthusiastic.

But you can't eat and drink for nothing.

Arrive at the village committee.

The village chief, the village cadres, and passengers trapped in the village due to heavy rain were all there.

"Village Chief. We have troubled you these days. We just collected these things, so we just regarded them as accommodation costs."

A strong and strong man with a strong figure walked up and handed the village chief a stack of money, which looked like a thousand.

The strong man's name is Guan Xiuxian. He is a passenger in the car. He is said to be a retired special forces soldier. He had just gotten out of the army and returned home. He never thought that he would encounter such a thing.

His family is from Tianma Town, and he can be considered a local.

Because of this, I have a good conversation with the villagers and the village chief in the village.

He asked the passengers to collect that thousand yuan in the afternoon.

A person is about fifty.

Not much.

"No, too much. I just stay for a few days. If you don't need money, take back the money quickly. Otherwise, I'll be angry." The village chief is an old man, about seventy years old, and is also the patriarch of the village.

"Then... that's OK!" Guan Xiuxian could only take back the money.

But this money will still be left before leaving.

Even if you don't want it, you have to keep money.

Next, the village chief discussed with the passengers trapped in the village.

What should I do specifically? Are there any other paths?

You can go out.

But after talking for a long time, they finally decided to go out.

The rain has not stopped yet, and there is a high possibility that mudslides will occur, which is very dangerous.

I just waited for the rain to stop before exploring the way.

Seeing that the discussion was not successful, the passengers started chatting with the village chief.

I don’t know if the ‘signal tower’ has been damaged by the rain or it has collapsed by the ‘dirty flow’.

No signal.

Can't access the Internet.

I can make a phone call, but the signal is still good and bad.

"Village Chief. The name of your village is so strange. How is it called the Corpse-Baring Village? Could it be that your village has a history of carrying corpses? The corpse-driver?" The person who spoke was the tour guide who led the tour group, named Ye Xiaoman. He was 23 years old this year. He just graduated from university and chose to start a business. Even if the boss is the only tour guide of the travel agency.

"Also, you... your surname is so strange, dead surname. Is there really a hundred families?" Ye Xiaoman asked again.

"Little girl! Our village is not a corpse-driver. Our village is called the corpse-bending village, which is because of the reason." The village chief's voice was a little hoarse, and he took a sip of tea and replied: "The name of our village is related to our customs. Because the funeral in our village is very special, it does not require coffins or buried in the soil. Instead, it is hidden in the cave. When you enter the village, you see that the small hill behind our village is not there? There is the collective tomb of our village."

"When someone in our village is about to die, they will ask their families to go to the mountain, find an open space, and dig a small cave that can hold a person. It cannot be too big or too small, it must be just right. When the dying person dies, the man in the family will carry the body up the mountain and put the body into the dug cave. The cave cannot be filled with soil, so you just need to use stones to put the hole on Lei."

"This is a complete grave. No soil is filled, no coffin is placed."

"Your village is called "Baizi Village" because it needs to carry the body up the mountain? But why does your village hold this unique funeral?" Ye Xiaoman asked again.

"That's right." The village chief took another sip of tea and said hoarsely: "This funeral in our village has a long history. In fact, the reason is that it is because of poverty. More than a hundred years ago, there was a natural disaster in the village and there was not much food. Not only was there famine in our village, but other places were everywhere, and there were victims everywhere. At that time, the village chief discussed with several village elders and thought that although the village had not saved much food, it was saved and could still be used. Wait until the spring of the next year, the grain was planted and the grain was harvested, and then it could be survived. So the patriarch and the village elder made a decision in the village."

"That is to bury all the elderly people over fifty in the village alive."

"Because people get older, they are no longer labor force. They will only waste food. They will leave behind the women, children, and strong men in the village. Because they are the hope for the race to survive."

"Only in this way can the village continue to reproduce."

"The clan leader and the village elder took the lead in the live burial. The males in the family were asked to dig a small cave on the mountain and wait for it to be dug. Then the males were asked to carry them up the mountain and put them in the dug cave. They only left some water for them, and then sealed the hole with stones. In the end, the old people died in the cave little by little."

"This is a solution that has no choice, there is not enough food. Only in this way can our village reproduce."

"Later, all the elderly over fifty years old in the village were buried alive."

"In the end, it took our village several years to survive those years of famine and has been growing until now."

"There are still graves of that generation of old people on the back mountain."

"This is the origin of the funeral of the corpse-carrying corpse in our village."

"The name of our village was changed to the name of Beizi Village."

"Actually, at the beginning, what we carried was not a corpse, but a living person."

When the village chief said this, there was no sound in the room, quietly.

Who would have thought that such a huge change occurred in this village a hundred years ago?

Bury the living.

Just for the village to reproduce.

Fortunately, in modern times, such things will not happen again.

Because socialism is really good!

Without ***, there would be no better life we ​​are now!

“Rich, democracy, integrity, kindness, dedication…”

Always remember!
