God Bestows Evil

Chapter 280 First Burial

Yes.

During the discussion.

Grandma Wang's body was lying nearby with only a rag covering it, which made the newlyweds somewhat distracted during their discussion.

After being reminded by Old Tang during the day.

It would be difficult for Wu Xian to handle the body alone.

Although he had already made a plan in his mind, he still left the problem of the corpse to others, which was both safe and risk-sharing.

surrounding the disposal of the body.

There was a heated debate.

Throw the body away, it always feels a bit inhumane, and important information may be lost, which may put them in danger.

Bury the body, it may cause danger.

Some people advocated burial.

Some people want to wait and see.

Some people did not participate in the burial themselves, and did not want others to help bury Grandma Wang to avoid being involved in possible dangers.

This was the first time Wu Xian encountered this situation.

Because in the blessed land he participated in before, it was usually very clear what to do next, and even if there were occasional situations that were difficult to handle, everyone had the same opinion.

But this time, although there was a clear goal, the process of achieving it was too vague.

In the end, Wen Chao was cautious and worked hard to reconcile the different opinions. The quarrel among the people was relieved and stopped at the point of disagreement without causing conflicts.

In the end, the team of thirteen people split into two groups.

The first is the burial party.

There are only five people, namely Wu Xian, Du E, Jian Lingyu, Li Juxian and Su Xuan.

Followed by the spectators.

The Wen Chao and Wei sisters in the family, as well as the remaining newcomers including Aunt Miao, the female white-collar worker, Yang Bin, etc., all decided not to participate in the burial, and the big yellow dog was also among the spectators.

These two groups of people.

Not even planning to sleep together tonight.

It happened that Granny Wang died, and the room she lived in was vacated. Wu Xian and other five people from the burial party happened to move there and live separately from the large army.

Although living apart increases the risk, on the one hand, I am worried about being implicated, and on the other hand, I don’t want the other party to get first-hand information without taking any risks, so it is just right to separate.

However, although everyone has different opinions on how to deal with corpses, they still have relatively unified opinions on how to treat the elderly in the Unburied Village.

First, these old people hold important information.

Secondly, the death of an elderly person may bring unexpected negative effects.

Thirdly, everyone has compassion, and the situation of these old people is indeed too pitiful.

No matter from which angle they looked at it, the newlyweds did not want to let the old people die quickly in a harsh environment, so they decided to help these old men and women as much as they could.

Discussion is over.

Everyone got busy at the same time.

Someone was setting up a stove, someone was washing vegetables and dishes, someone was dismantling a wild boar carcass, someone found some coarse salt in the room...

There was unexpectedly enough firewood, and they didn't even use the dry firewood Wen Chao brought them.

When Wu Xian was wandering around the village during the day, he pushed through the weeds and discovered a huge debris pile. The debris pile was full of decayed and broken coffins and fragments of clay pots. The decayed coffins were the best fuel.

Gudu, Gudu...

In the clean large iron pot, wild boar meat and various wild vegetables are stewed.

After a long day of work, everyone was already hungry, and they had neither time nor conditions to cook carefully, so the end product of the long day's work was just these rough pork and wild vegetable soups.

After it was cooked, Wu Xian couldn't wait to take a bite and suddenly showed a bitter look on his face. This taste…

The uncastrated wild boar meat was fishy and difficult to chew, and the wild vegetables were bitter in the mouth. This meal could only be said to be barely satisfying, relatively clean, and had a salty taste, that's all.

This made Wu Xian miss Shiji a little. Although the food cooked by that guy was a bit heavy, at least it was still delicious...

After eating.

The clouds on the horizon were already faintly yellow, and it would be dark soon, so the thirteen people seized the time and began to move separately.

…

Wu Xian and five others.

A hole must be dug to bury Wang Po before dark.

Regardless of taboos, burying Granny Wang is already taking a risk. If you delay the matter until dark and bury Granny Wang at night, it is not taking a risk but seeking death.

From the pile of tattered coffins, they picked out a relatively complete tattered coffin, put Granny Wang's body inside, and carefully carried it out of the village.

When choosing a coffin.

Wu Xian was surprised to find that there was a big pit under the pile of broken coffins. This big pit had been filled with coffins and pottery pots. He didn't know what would happen to this big pit after taking out all the old coffins and pottery pots. How deep.

When I first arrived at Wu Burial Village.

Wu Xian had some doubts in his heart.

The old people were only surprised by them, but not by the coffins and clay pots sent to them. This showed that this was not the first time that Yaocheng had sent coffins and clay pots here.

But if it’s not the first time, and these old people are buried without coffins, then where are the coffins and urns that were delivered before?

Maybe this big pit is the answer.

The coffin was in tatters, and Granny Wang’s body was relatively light. The five people carrying the coffin didn’t feel it was very heavy.

Since time was tight, they did not carry the coffin too far. Instead, as soon as they left the village, they found an open space and started digging a hole with shovels.

There was only one shovel, and the work of digging the hole could only be done by three men in turns.

This wasn't for any reason like being polite to a lady.

It's just that it's more efficient.

Those who don’t dig holes with shovels are not idle either. They all have their own things to do.

Jian Lingyu tore off a piece from her wide skirt and used it as a rag. Then she pushed open the coffin lid and carefully cleaned the dirt on Granny Wang's body.

After she cleaned it up, Granny Wang's death appearance became slightly more beautiful.

Du E found a relatively flat wooden board and used a small rusty iron knife to carve Grandma Wang's name on the wooden board.

They buried Grandma Wang.

It’s about finding out what a ‘right’ funeral is.

Therefore, we cannot just dig a hole and bury the matter, but we must try our best to add as many elements to Grandma Wang’s funeral as possible.

That is, coffins, burials, tombstones and arrangement of remains.

Only in this way will they have a chance to know what kind of funeral is right.

It's unknown what changes will happen tonight. Wu Xian only hopes that tonight's changes will allow him to get the correct information.

The burial was almost done soon.

After the pit was dug, the coffin was put in, and then everyone worked together to bury the loess. A small arc-shaped pit rose up on the spot. This was the first grave they saw after arriving in this blessed place.

throughout the burial process.

Wu Xian has always felt that there is a vague feeling of peeping around him.

But if you look around, you can only see dry or rotting corpses. These corpses turned their heads at some point, and their soulless eyes were all looking in the direction of the grave...
