Chapter 124 The Dead (Contains some Tibetan funeral content, please subscribe with caution)

Time flew by in the blink of an eye. That night, when the store was about to close, Nuha had a bitter look on his face. He was followed by a man with red eyes, a hat turned up, the two ends of his belt tied in front of his belly, and his hair braided. Young men wearing white wool and Tibetan filial piety clothes walked in one after the other.

Chen Mu, who was doing the accounting, was startled for a moment. Soon, he had been prepared in his heart and completely let go of the tone he had been holding in his heart.

finally come!

After calming down, Chen Mu's expression became solemn and quiet. He looked at the young man behind Nuha with his eyes, quietly waiting for him to speak.

Although Tashi's eyes were red, his voice did not tremble at all, because after the death of a Tibetan elder, family members are forbidden to talk and laugh, or mention the name of the deceased, so he just had a dull face and a calm expression.Just like a deep lake, despite the turbulent undercurrents at the bottom of the lake, the surface of the lake is still calm, which makes people feel sad just looking at it.

There was suppressed pain in his voice: "Boss Chen, my father is gone. But before he passed away, I was always very grateful for all your help to our Ruxing Village. He very much hoped that you could come to his funeral."

In the eyes of Tibetans in this area, participating in Tibetan funerals is a kind of merit, so villagers will actively participate in funerals. For foreigners who have helped them, the deceased's family will personally come to invite them and invite them to bury the deceased together. .

In the eyes of Tibetans, it is forbidden to call a person by his name after death, so after a person dies, he is generally called "the deceased".

Chen Mu agreed happily, but again, the expression on his face did not change at all: "Okay, Brother Tashi, please wait a moment, I will be there right away."

Because regions differ, in some places, after a person dies, they will choose to stay in mourning for three to five days, ask monks to chant sutras, set up a mourning platform, light butter lamps, save the soul, and mourn relatives and friends.

In some places, after asking monks to chant sutras, they will send them to the hiding place as soon as possible.

Tashi nodded, then turned and left, leaving only Uncle Nuha still standing in the store.

He grimaced: "Is everything in Mazha Village on the right track?"

"Yes." Chen Mu nodded, and after finishing the last calculation, he closed today's account book.

"That's it, it's good, it's good! That guy Jian Sol is also dishonest. I asked him how he was doing during the meeting yesterday. Unexpectedly, he just said that he just started, I don't know, it's not like our village, good is good. , If it doesn’t work, it won’t work, and it’s never ambiguous.” Although he said this, there was still a hint of cautious temptation in his words.

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

It turns out that Uncle Nuha is feeling uneasy!

Yesterday, because he was afraid that something might happen to tourists while they were in the village, he canceled all the tourists who were going to Tibetan homes the day before yesterday and sent them all to Mazar Village.

Although the tourists didn't understand it, they all came to experience a small number of farmhouses with a unique style, so when they heard about the new route, they naturally had no objections and simply forgot about the Tibetan villages.

Chen Mu comforted him: "Uncle Nuha, after 49 days, when the village can receive tourists again, I will take tourists there again."

Of course, this is just to appease!

After 49 days, it’s already after the National Day. To make a living, all travel agencies may have to close down, and they still bring tourists there?

Let’s wait until next year!

When Nuha heard this, he was immediately relieved as he had no idea about Chen Mu's true thoughts.

"That's good! That's good!"

In the past two days, although everyone knew that it was because of Tashi's father's illness, the village temporarily stopped receiving tourists.

But knowing is knowing, but it is not so easy to accept!
Just like reason and emotion, reason understands, but emotion cannot accept it!
No one can accept it. You can earn [-] or more around [-] at home every other day. Instead of making any money like before, you have to rely on family members working outside to remit money.

Chen Mu looked at the time and said, "Uncle Nuha, does Tashi agree to the filming?" Nuha nodded: "Okay."

Generally speaking, Tibetan people do not taboo being watched during Tibetan rituals. Even when outsiders watch, they will think that this is also helping to chant sutras and pray, which will increase the merits of the deceased and the spectators.

Chen Mu felt relieved and said with a smile: "Uncle Nuha, you go first. I still have some things to pack here. Once they are packed, I will take them there with me."

Nuha nodded, no longer lingering, and turned to leave.

But as soon as he took his first step, he suddenly turned his head and said hesitantly: "Do they know all the relevant taboos, taboos, etiquette, etc.?"

Chen Mu said: "Clear."

After all, we have talked about it intermittently four or five times, and I have definitely remembered everything that should be remembered, unless the other party deliberately ignored it.

But when shooting for several ethnic groups later, he still needed to be a matchmaker. For the credits and the rewards for the top five, they would naturally work hard.

Nuha felt relieved and turned around completely to leave.

Chen Mu packed up everything, called Li Wanmian and others, then returned to the house and changed his clothes. After making sure that no red was exposed on his clothes and accessories, he closed the store door, sat at the door, and looked up. Head looking at the stars.

The starry sky in the northwest is extremely beautiful.

It's so beautiful that when you raise your head, you can see the dazzling galaxy, dots of stars hanging high in the sky, and the soft moonlight spreading over the earth, like a gossamer, like a dream, you can't tell whether it is reality or a dream.

"Huh!" A gust of cold wind blew by.

Chen Mu shivered unconsciously and stretched out his hands to tighten his clothes.

The northwest is not good at this. It’s not September yet, but the lowest temperature at night has actually dropped to ten degrees Celsius.

Coupled with the whistling breeze, this taste is simply amazing.

He put his hands under his neck and looked up at the starry sky. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure leading a dog, sneaking towards him.

Chen Mu sighed silently. He could already determine who the person was without even looking.

"Li Gengyun, you don't sleep at night, what are you doing here?"

"Walking the dog!" Li Gengyun chuckled, led the dog over, and sat next to him, also leaning against the wall and looking at the stars.

"You have twenty or thirty dogs, and you just want to take this one for a walk?" Chen Mu rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Tell me, something didn't feel right with you after you came back from Mazha Village. What's going on?"

It's depressing to say the least.

Ever since he came back from a day off in Mazha Village, this man had been looking at him without hesitation every day. He would walk up to him to make his presence felt when nothing happened, but would he like to ask him something?
This person can only reply that it’s okay!
If he hadn't known that this man had no special hobbies, Chen Mu would have been really afraid that he would have punched him.

Li Gengyun was just about to say that it was okay, but Chen Mu looked over with a swipe of his eyes.

He said coolly: "If you say it's okay this time, then if you hang around me again, be careful I beat you!"
