There is an old Chinese saying that filial piety comes first, but if these death caves are real, I really don’t know how to explain this old saying.
Perhaps it is a traditional custom, just like in some places, you must receive a bride price when you marry a daughter, and the more you receive, the more face you have.
I just feel very sad.
Maybe it was forced by the environment at that time.
When everyone was starving to death, filial piety could only bow to reality.
Then there was the saying of raising children to protect them from old age, and to provide for them until they die.
To this day, Chinese people still have such traditional ideas, which is also the reason why they favor sons over daughters.
"Brother, don't be like this.
Those things happened in the past.
They are gone now.
Now the country firmly prohibits these things.
We have nursing homes in our town."
Xiao Min comforted me.
"I know it happened in the past, but when I heard about it, I felt very uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because our living conditions are better now and we can't understand the environment and helplessness at that time."
I thought for a while and said.
"This must have been a trend and custom at that time.
I heard that the origin of this custom was an old couple who lost their labor force and did not want to drag their children down, so they quietly went up the mountain.
Then a few years later, people Their bones were found in a cave on the mountain.
The couple was praised by everyone, and then the old people followed suit, and it became a custom.
If you are old, unable to move, and are still dragging down your children and grandchildren, you will be said by the villagers that over time, "That's how the custom of being sent to the death cave became."
Xiao Min continued.
My face twitched slightly.
If that was the case, it would make sense.
It meant that a father was kind and his son was filial.
It was the initiative of the old man, but later it evolved into the initiative of the young.
This is a bit scary.
I think there must be something wrong with it.
The old man was willing to go, but he had to go due to pressure from outside public opinion.
"By the way, what does running into the mountains and being sent to the Death Cave have to do with what you said?"
I asked.
"The origin of this mountain running is caused by a legend.
It is said that there was a rich man in the past.
Because he was afraid that his descendants would be affected by this custom, he secretly hid a lot of gold and silver treasures.
These things were not allowed to be passed on to future generations.
People know it, and then it turns out In his later years, the descendants really sent him to a death cave in the mountains.
The reason was not that he would be a drag on the descendants, but that he could not break the rules, otherwise he would not be able to live well, and he would be criticized and criticized.
Fourth, it’s all for his own good, but in fact, he’s the one who accepts it Several daughters-in-law conspired to send the old man up the mountain, and the family property was divided among his sons.
"Xiao Min said, "Then the old rich man saw everything clearly and happened to meet a woodcutter who was going up the mountain to chop wood. , gave the woodcutter a lot of money, and asked the woodcutter to come down the mountain.
Announce to the outside world that he, Liu Wanwan, has hidden countless gold and silver treasures on the Great Wu Mountain.
The total amount is more than a hundred times more than what he left for his son and daughter-in-law.
Anyone who wants it can go up the mountain to find it.
If someone is really destined to find it, , I hope to use this money to do good things.”
"So the purpose of mountain running is to find these treasures in the mountains."
I was dumbfounded.

Xiao Min nodded and said: "But it seems that it is just a legend, because no one has found these treasures for thousands of years.
The villagers have organized many mountain runs.
The real purpose of the mountain runs now is nothing more than to organize The team went into the mountains to look for some ancient death caves.
There might be some belongings of the old people in them.
Items were not very valuable at the time, but they are valuable now, such as some ancient copper coins, some containers for storing things, and some swords and so on.
In addition, they can also be used for hunting.
Collect some medicinal materials, and when you come back, the money will be sold and everyone will share it. " It suddenly dawned on me that this was mountain running.
From this point of view, you can’t actually make much money by running down the mountain.
Because these death dens are, to put it bluntly, slums.
Basically, there will be nothing of value in them.
Occasionally, if you come across one or two items, you may be able to exchange them for some money.
I thought about it, if it was a mountain run, forget it, and don’t let Luo Carpenter run.
After all, it’s hard work, and it doesn’t make any money.
But if it was to find the rich man’s treasure location, it could be treated as an adventure, and he could help. them.
After all, I learned a lot of tomb robbing skills from my grandfather.
Although I am not very proficient in it, I should be able to use it when running mountains.
But the first condition is that my body needs to get better.
I turned to look at the duck blood in the bowl.
Although it was a little disgusting, I still wanted to eat it.
After all, I needed it.
Besides, I had drunk Yuelan's blood before, and I had sucked the blood of a werewolf, which was also human blood.
It felt a lot better after thinking about it, so I said, "I'll give you a few more bites, thank you."
"Okay."
Xiao Min smiled and fed me with a spoon.
Then the next day, my body slowly started to respond.
Although it wasn't very sensitive, at least I could move my fingers and feel my left foot.
But I still couldn't get up.
The bones in my body were broken.
I had to wait for them to heal before I could support them.
Gotta get up.
On the third day, I dared to bend my arms.
I am very satisfied with the speed of recovery.
I will definitely be able to get out of bed in about a week.
Then on the fourth day, Carpenter Luo took people out to run in the mountains.
There were eight people in the group.
Only Carpenter Luo had a shotgun, but the others had weapons such as hatchets.
Luo Carpenter and the others set out early in the morning, saying they would be back within three days.
After returning, they sent Luo Xiaomin to school and stayed at the school.
Fortunately, on the day Carpenter Luo and the others entered the mountain, I lifted the quilt and asked Xiao Min to help me get out of bed, and Carpenter Luo gave me a pair of crutches beforehand.
He thought that the previous coffin was not used, so he definitely needed this crutch, and he might stay with me for the rest of his life.
But I think it will only take a short while, because I feel that I only have no feeling in my right foot below the knee, and everything else is recovering well.
I held the crutches with both hands, and then walked out of the room for the first time and arrived at the hall.
The hall was really big, with a pile of wood, and some cabinets and stools that had just been made.
I have to say that Carpenter Luo’s craftsmanship is really good.
Very good.

Xiao Min followed me and was shocked by my recovery speed.
She knew Dr.
Luo's conclusion, saying that even if I recovered, I would still be disabled and paralyzed in bed.
But at this moment, I was holding on to crutches with both hands.
Started walking.
Then I took a deep breath and tried my luck.
The recovered muscles and veins were now open.
The body that practiced martial arts recovered faster than others, not to mention that I still had the body of a zombie.
After the pores all over the body were opened, Da Feng Ge's footwork was unfolded.
There was no feeling in his right foot, but he could use his left foot.
The Yin Qi from the sole of the foot came out, and there was immediate rebound power.
Moreover, when the large acupuncture points in the whole body were opened, the air came in and out.
When I came out, my whole body began to feel light and airy.
I was secretly happy.
Although the elements of the Five Elements and the Tai Chi Yin and Yang Fish were nowhere to be found, I still remembered the Da Feng Song I learned and became more proficient in it.
Why the hell am I still lying on the bed?
With my current skills, if I let them go for a long time, I would definitely be able to catch up with them if I chased them.
"Xiao Min, go buy pig blood and cook it for me at noon."
I turned to Xiao Min and said.
"Okay, can you be home alone?"
"Why not?
I'll just sit here and you go back quickly."
I said with a smile.
"Okay."
She took out five yuan from the money her father left for her, and then went down the mountain.
Her family lives on a relatively high floor, and the street is below.
It takes fifteen minutes to walk, which is very inconvenient anyway.
After Xiao Min left, I used the tip of my crutch to write a few words on the ground.
Her house was made of dirt.
I wrote: Xiao Min, I'm going to Dawu Mountain to chase your father and the others.
You don't have to worry about me.
We will be back in three days, and you will be waiting for us at home
