Days in the cute animal world

285 Chapter 333, Funeral

Everyone was afraid, and they didn't dare to get close to the second grandpa's house. Ah Huang and A Mei lived in Mu Ya's house, and they often hugged each other and cried. It was only later that Mu Ya found out that the second grandpa lived in this pair of children. The ones they picked up on the way to escape from famine were not siblings. At that time, everyone could not support themselves. No one wanted to take these two children. It was the second grandfather who took the children and has been supporting them until now.

Hearing Ah Cen gossip about this with her, Mu Ya felt sore. The second grandfather is really a good person. Now the second grandfather is the oldest in the two villages. Except for the patriarch, the old elders are the most popular. Respect, everyone thinks that the old man can live for such a long time, it is the blessing of the gods.

Second Grandpa's condition came and went, and he got better for a few days, and he went out for a walk. Mu Ya went to see him once, and gave him medicine, so as to encourage the old man. Second Grandpa knew that his illness would infect everyone. , so I consciously stayed away from everyone, and often said something self-deprecating, "I am old, I have lived for such a long time, and I should have a good rest." Ya said: "If I die, the most worrying thing is my two grandchildren, they are both poor children, Mu Ya! Everyone is living well now. Before, one or two came to me to have children. I I didn’t agree. At that time, when the child was about to starve to death, no one wanted it. Now I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, so I come to ask for the child. You know that there is a strong male beast in this wild forest. It’s the source of food. I’m afraid It’s not long to live. After I die, you can help me make the decision and give the child to Yazi’s family. She takes care of me so kindly. I have nothing to repay. I also told her that she also likes children. of."

After the second grandpa said these words, he was tired and went back to the house. Mu Ya also knew that it seemed that the second grandpa was explaining the funeral to her, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad. That Yazi would be a good mother. As I said, this woman is also pitiful. On the way to escape from famine, the man was killed by the prey when he was chasing the prey. She had a child who also died of illness.Life is better now, and it's always good to have children by your side.

Although Yazi took care of her wholeheartedly, the second grandpa passed away, and the elders of Lieyan Village passed away. Everyone was very heavy. The epidemic did not spread, but every household was still gloomy.After more than ten days of investigation, the source of the water pollution was also found. There is a very wide lake behind the two mountains, surrounded by mountains, the river is clear, and under the blue sky, this endless lake is like a mirror.

The people who came back all said how beautiful it is, even Yanyi couldn’t help saying that it’s really good there, and Mu Ya couldn’t help but want to see it, but such a big lake won’t be polluted, so I asked carefully It turns out that this lake has many tributaries. The mudslide that passed through Rainbow Village was robbed by the mudslide that was washed away by the rainstorm halfway through the lake, and many dead bodies were buried there.

When Xiao Ma said it, he made a disgusted expression, one can imagine how disgusting the place is, "It's too smelly, and there are many dead bodies floating here, the water in this river is absolutely undrinkable of."

Second Grandpa's funeral is imminent, and the corpse cannot be left for a long time in hot weather, and now those people in Lieyan Village are depressed, even Ah Qiang, who was scolded by Second Grandpa in the past, was also depressed after hearing that Second Grandpa passed away, and did not come out I'm idle.

The problem of the blocked river will not be solved for a while, and the problem of drinking water can only be worked harder to get it from the waterfall.At night, after the children fell asleep, Mu Ya and Yan Yi talked about the funeral of Second Grandpa.In Mu Ya's impression, when an elderly person in her hometown passed away, the funeral should be more grand.The second grandfather is also an elder in Lieyan Village. Now there is no elder over there, and there is no one who can call the shots. Although Xiaogou is the village head, he is still a child after all, and he doesn't understand the world.

"What do you think we should do? In the Lion Clan, these things were done by grandma and the others. I haven't participated in them before, so I know that when people die, they find a pit to bury them." Yan Yi said.

"It's not okay to bury it directly. The second grandfather died of the epidemic, so he must be cremated, and he can't just bury it casually. After all, he is an elder." Mu Ya said, after thinking for a while, she said: "Otherwise this Regarding the matter, we discussed it with the elders in Lieyan Village, and we will settle the matter tomorrow, and I will handle this matter, and you and Dazhi and the others think about how to solve the river issue."

After listening to Mu Ya's suggestion, Yanyi happily agreed, and then turned over and hugged Mu Ya. Mu Ya thought that the big lion was going to be in heat, so she pushed him and said: "It's this time, you still have the mood, I I'm not in the mood today."

Yanyi chuckled, "I didn't think so, I just wanted to hug you to sleep, you thought too much."

Being beaten by Yanyi, Mu Ya smiled angrily and said, "I hate it, I'm sleeping." Then she deliberately turned her body away to prevent him from approaching.

Seeing Mu Ya running away like a little loach, Yan Yi pulled her back into his arms, hugged her tightly, and said in a low voice: "Stop making trouble, go to sleep."

Mu Ya's back is facing Yan Ye, nestling in his arms, it's really warm, there are many things to do tomorrow, go to sleep!
Early the next morning, Mu Ya called Acen to go to Lieyan Village together. The two of them came to Lieyan Village's second grandfather. Little Dog, Little Dog said, now the elders in the village are Grandpa Heitu and Aunt Yazi.Mu Ya asked the puppy to find the two to discuss what to do with the second grandfather's funeral.

After a while, Grandpa Heitu was a very skinny middle-aged male, much younger than the second grandfather. Yazi Muya had seen it before, and just in time for today, Muya also took advantage of the second grandpa's two grandchildren. Explain about parenting.The puppy was also kept by Mu Ya. Although the child is young, he has to start from primary school to know how to deal with many things.

Mu Ya first asked Lieyan Village what is particular about the funeral of the dead. Unexpectedly, everyone didn't understand what Mu Ya was talking about. Later, Xiaogou explained that it turned out that Lieyan Village said that funerals are called Xiatu.Do as the Romans do, and later collectively called funerals.Lieyan Village has a set of procedures for the elderly people who have passed away. First, they have to dance a three-day soul dance around the dead people, and then they have to find a place near the water to bury them and build them up with stones. a mound.Close relatives have to donate blood, so that the dead can follow their blood to find relatives in another world.

People in Lieyan Village, in their minds, do not have their own relatives, they will be very pitiful after death, they will get lost in another world, and they will not be able to find their family members.

Mu Ya suddenly understood what Second Grandpa said, why did she give her two grandchildren to Yazi, even a beastman is grateful.

Mu Ya felt that this kind of ceremony was not suitable for the current situation, it could not be kept for three days, and it was not appropriate to rely on water for burial.Mu Ya also talked about the process of her funeral, and what she said was very reasonable and very different. When she finished speaking, everyone was shocked, with terrified expressions on their faces.

I asked later, it turned out that cremation is the greatest punishment for the most heinous people. Only those who will not live forever will be punished, because everyone thinks that if they stay in the corpse, the dead will not go completely, but will go underground. , Follow the blood of relatives to find the former home and family.

This won't work, it's really a bit troublesome, in fact, Mu Ya can use strong means to demand, the second grandpa is the source of infection, it won't work without cremation, hey!Later, Mu Ya understood the reasoning and made up another story, and finally convinced everyone. The price of this is that in the future, all dead people will go through the ceremony like this.

After hearing Mu Ya's words, everyone heard that no matter who they are, they will be the same, and they no longer insist on cremation.Because of the hot weather, it should not be left for too long. After the agreement, everyone started to do this. First, Yazi went to find clean clothes for the second grandpa to change into. Put it on top, Mu Ya found an oil lamp and lit it, because someone in her old family died, that's what she did.Then according to their customs, they asked people in the village to dance the soul-giving dance. Ashi and Erhei made a coffin for the second grandfather according to the blueprint given by Mu Ya.

Ah Cen and the others prepared lunch for everyone in the back yard. This time, Mu Ya organized the funeral according to the customs of their side and the customs of this side.It was held grandly and solemnly. People from the two villages came, and they were curious to watch the excitement. Some of them really came to see off the second grandpa.

Mu Ya asked Ah Fen to burn smoked grass in the house to disinfect.Everyone was watching outside, and two people went to the village at once, and everyone's faces were heavy.Mu Ya and Xiaogou found an open space near the back of the mountain, and this place will be used as a cemetery from now on, and the second grandpa came here first.

Everyone who came here kowtowed to the second grandfather. In fact, they themselves did not have this rule. It was Mu Ya who said that kowtow was to greet the old man and let the old man bless him. He didn't get close to the house, he looked outside the yard, and after hearing someone say that, he also entered the yard and kowtowed three times to the second grandpa, saying over and over again that the second grandpa would bless his child to be born smoothly.

Later, Sanya and Jinzi also robbed the kneeling mat. The two also begged the second grandpa to bless them to give birth to a big fat boy.What was supposed to be a rather bleak funeral turned into a lively kowtowing event. Mu Ya looked at the people kowtowing all over the yard, and said with emotion: Second Grandpa is busy this time.

The people who stayed at noon all ate white rice, which is called white rice here, but in fact they are all vegetarian dishes. For funerals, Mu Ya called it tofu rice, and there is no tofu here, so Mu Ya just called it white rice.Later, this etiquette continued.
