Chapter 1271 The Spirit of Tree Burial ([-])

The three of us were stunned. She yelled like this and then we came back to our senses.

I smiled and said to Hualong and Siemens: "Her current mental capacity is only five or six years old. Why are you arguing with her? If you are to blame, Ruirui is also to blame."

"No, I asked Ruirui to come and sleep with me." Siemens said, "Your foot injury is so serious, if Ruirui wakes up at night, how can you take care of it?" "Okay, okay, I don't blame her anymore, I went to brush my teeth and wash my face." After speaking, he picked up the toothbrush towel and walked out.

"Uncle Ximen, wait for me, will you teach me how to shoot invisible arrows today?" Ruirui followed, ran to me and said, "Mom, you take good care of yourself, I will play with Uncle Ximen and Xiaoxue." "

Feng Tingxue followed excitedly, "I want to learn too." Then she said to Hualong, "Brother Hualong, I play with Uncle Ximen and Ruirui."

Hualong and I shook our heads helplessly and smiled. Hualong sighed, "Xiaoxue will be like this in the future, but what should we do?"

At breakfast time, the six of us quietly ate the pancakes Staci baked for us, consuming them with goat's milk.

Loud cries suddenly sounded outside the house, Feng Tingxue and Ruirui were the most curious, and ran to the door to look around.

Stacie came in, eyes red, and I asked her what happened.

She lamented and said, "Our neighbor's child died last night. He was only a little over four months old. He was still a boy. He slept with the quilt covering his face and was suffocated to death. My mother only found out in the morning."

"Oh my God, it's only over four months! It's so regrettable. I wish I could have taken better care of my baby!" I said sadly.

"Ah, it's so scary! It's so scary! The baby must have been misbehaved and cried wildly at night, and then was eaten by monsters." Feng Tingxue said in horror, shrinking her neck.

"I'm telling you, I'm so cruel. If a monster dares to come and eat us, I'll crush him to death." Ruirui clenched her fists and looked ahead, looking domineering.

From the house next door came the hysterical cries of the child's mother, as well as the curses of the child's father and grandparents. They were blaming the mother for being careless and killing the child. Some of the neighbors were adding fuel to the fire, and some were trying to comfort them. They stood in the yard. It was full of people and noisy.

We all walked to the door and looked at the next door with a heavy heart.

Hualong sighed softly and said, "As long as your neighbor is willing, we can cross over for that child for free."

Stacie said: "Oh no no no, we have our own way to let the child's soul rest in peace."

"Okay!" Hualong said with a shrug, and then whispered, "Other people queue up to wait for me at a high price, but I offer to do it for you for free, and you don't even want it."

"Then how are they going to dispose of the child's body now?" He Kaifeng asked Stacie.

Stasi said: "We have the tradition of 'tree burying' dead babies here. About 3 kilometers away from our village, there is a forest called "Paradise Forest".Whenever a baby died, we would wrap it in white cloth, dig a hole in the big tree in Paradise Forest, and put the baby's body into the hole. "

The few of us all understood now that the forest we saw was really an alternative cemetery for the locals.

"Ah, this tradition is too weird, why is there a tree burial?" I said speechlessly, and Hua Long gave me a wink, as if reminding me of something.

I realized what I said was impolite and quickly apologized, "Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Staci didn't understand what Qipa meant at all, so she understood, "Miraculous? Oh, yes, we use this magical method to let the wind take away the souls of children, so that they can rest in peace.
