Chapter 57 Tree Burial

"Why did you come back after being away for so long?" Wei San asked when he saw Zhao Er and Chen Liu coming back. Seeing that they were walking in a mess and looking wrong, he asked again, "What happened?"

"Corpses... corpses... so many corpses..." Zhao Er gasped, speechless.

"Corpse?" How could there be a corpse?! Wei San frowned even more when he heard this. He looked at Chen Liu and ordered: "Chen Liu, tell me."

"Back to Third Young Master, it's like this..."

Chen Liu told everyone about the strange scene he saw in the woods before.

During the process of telling their complaints, both Chen Liu and Zhao Er had ugly expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they were still frightened by what they had just seen.

"You mean, you tore through the shroud?!" Cen Xiyan suddenly interrupted.

"Yes..." Seeing Cen Xiyan's frown, Chen Liu had a bad premonition, so his tone of reply became a little cautious.

Wei San didn't know what Chen Liu was talking about about the strange mummy in the woods. He just thought it was unbelievable. When he heard Cen Xiyan's tone was wrong, he turned to look at her and asked: "Do you know what that corpse is like?"

What's going on?"

"If I guessed correctly, it should be a tree burial of the Yi people!" Cen Xiyan's face turned dark. This Zhao Er can cause trouble!

The Chuanzhou area is a gathering place for ethnic minorities. Some of the customs of those ethnic groups are very different from those of the Han people, such as funerals. Some ethnic groups have burial methods such as sky burial and tree burial.

Listening to Chen Liu's description of the woods and the method of wrapping corpses, they should have entered the tree burial group of the Yi people. Those corpses were dried by the Yi people using special processing methods, wrapped in shrouds, and stored in the trees.

.

At this moment, not only Cen Xiyan, but also Canghai, Cangqing, and the Chisel brothers all looked bad.

The chisel gave Zhao Er a hard look and muttered in a low voice, "Idiot! You're just tall, but not smart!"

I don’t know if Zhao Er didn’t hear it, or he knew he was in the wrong and didn’t jump out of his skin.

"Tree burial of the Yi people?" Wei San also frowned deeply.

He has also read some records in some journals. Some ethnic minorities have a lot of taboos. Moreover, Zhao Er has dug up someone's grave this time. If someone finds out...

"Hurry up and eat, we will set off soon!" Cen Xiyan broke the silence, thought for a while, and warned: "You'd better be stricter about this matter, and don't talk nonsense to others when you get outside!"

"Okay, I know." Wei San responded, then looked at Chen Liu and Zhao Er, "You also remember it!"

"Yes, I won't mention it to anyone." Chen Liu quickly promised.

"Yes..." Zhao Er drooped his head and said nonchalantly: "Third Young Master, did I... get into trouble again?"

"You still know you've gotten into trouble?!" Wei San snorted coldly and said angrily: "I really shouldn't have agreed to your elder brother's suggestion to take you out!"

"..." Zhao Er's head was almost buried in his chest, "Third Young Master, please punish..."

"What's the use of punishing you now? I'll settle the score with you later when I get back!"

Breakfast consisted of wild fruits, hare meat, and some yak jerky that Canghai bought in Dayan City. Yak jerky tastes good, is easy to store, does not go bad easily, is very hungry, and has enough calories. It is very suitable for walking on mountain roads.

Take it with you as food.

Zhao Er and Chen Liuben both liked eating this yak jerky, but when they saw this dried dark brown meat, they thought of the mummies in the woods, and their stomachs felt uncomfortable!

In the end, Zhao Er was the first to be unable to bear it, bounced up, ran to a distance, and began to vomit loudly. Chen Liu didn't hold back for long, and finally followed suit.

In the next two days, Zhao Er and Chen Liu refused to eat meat and relied on wild fruits and vegetables to satisfy their hunger. By the time they came down the mountain, both of them had lost a lot of weight.
