Ergou was just like the day we came, holding his shoulders and hunching his neck, but his eyes were a little strange, and his temperament seemed to have changed in the past two days.
When we walked up to him, his expression changed and he returned to the same look as yesterday, wretched and timid, and the weird aura just now disappeared.
The more he behaves like this, the more nervous we become.
This is not something a normal person can do.
He is like a psycho.
No one knows when he will explode.
"Just in time, I'll let you have a good look at the customs of our village in the past two days.
Not everyone can catch up with the burial of spirits."
Ergou acted like a dog with legs, and even rubbed his fingers.
The meaning is obvious.
If you want to see it, just pay for it.
I took out a hundred dollars and handed it over.
Ergou changed so quickly that I really couldn't feel his pulse.
It only took half an hour.
He becomes too fast.
"Okay, just take a look."
Ergou put the money away with a smile.
After collecting the money, Ergou led us to Lao San's house as if he was greedy for money just like yesterday.
The crowd in the courtyard of Lao San's house had already dispersed.
Five skinny old men puffed their throats, blowing and knocking.
On the surrounding walls, seven or eight thin, dark children were riding, fearful of palms and echoing.
"Go, go, let's join in the fun."
Ergou trotted over to chase the children on the wall.
Cursing, "a bunch of plagued children" "Young second dog, he has no wife, carries a lot of meat on his back, and is annoying."
The children dispersed in a hurry.
He also made faces at Ergou and sang a specious nursery rhyme.
The children smiled and backed away, but a lot of information was revealed.
What they called "carrying big meat" meant carrying corpses.
They actually called the corpse "big meat".
This was definitely not recognized by just one or two people, but by the entire village.
They regard corpses as meat.
This term is not formed in a day or two.
Children are innocent and have the best memory.
They will recognize whatever their parents say.
This kind of values has been passed down, and you can imagine how distorted this village is.
In their eyes, foreign women are not human beings at all, but so-called flesh.
Ergou was also accustomed to this nursery rhyme and didn't take it seriously at all.
Now I understand why there are basically no women in the village.
Entered the courtyard.
The old men had smiles on their faces, played very enthusiastically, and nodded to Ergou.
Ergou looked at the coffins placed in the yard, the corners of his mouth moved, but he held it back, turned his head and said to us: "Let's take a look first."
The three of us looked at each other and walked over.
From the time we left here and returned to the house we lived in to the time we followed him out, it took a total of more than an hour.
In such a short time, they produced a coffin.
As you can imagine, everything was prepared in advance.

As Ergou walked to the coffin, I looked over and saw that the third child was wrapped in red cloth, with only his face exposed.
The wounds on his face were sewn together with red threads.
If his head was Also wrapped up, the whole mummy.
"This is the custom of our village.
All burials must be wrapped in sacrificial cloth, with only the head exposed."
Ergou explained patiently, with a hint of sadness deep in his eyes.
It can be seen that the third child is very important to the second dog.
So much so that he couldn't hide his inner sadness.
"Okay, the show will last three days.
I will explain it to you in detail during the burial."
Ergou finally came to his senses, sniffed, turned around and said to us.
"OK" We didn’t embarrass the two dogs and followed them outside.
"What were those moths in the mountains just now?"
After walking out of Laosan's house, I stared at Ergou who was leading the way and suddenly asked.
I wanted to test Ergou, and even more wanted to know his reaction to this problem.
We were in the mountains just now, and he knew we were there.
"hey-hey" Ergou was shocked at first, then turned around, rubbed his fingers, and said with a smile: "Look at it, I will explain it to you clearly."
I took out another red ticket from my pocket.
Ergou shook his head, saying it was not enough and his appetite was enlarged by me.
When I took out the third red ticket, the two of them came over like dogs, took the three red tickets, and looked at the sun.
Then he took it into his arms and said: "Don't worry, I, Ergou, always use money to do things, I will definitely make you understand."
After saying that, he led us out of the village.
Still next to the big rock.
When he saw the layer of scraped insect eggs on the big stone, his expression changed, he turned around suddenly, bowed directly to us, gave us a thumbs up and said, "You are the one, real" "What do you mean, you are still making fun of us?"
Da Chun became angry, and stepped forward, grabbed Er Gou by the collar, and pulled him away.
"It's really not true, I admire you."
Ergou said with a sad face and shrinking eyes.
"Let's make it clear.
If you don't make it clear, I will let you be eaten by those stinky moths like the female corpse just now."
Dachun smiled ferociously and knocked the two dogs to the ground.
Ergou got up and moved as far away from the stone as possible before saying, "It's actually very simple.
We call this a sky burial."
I curled my lips, is this fucking called sky burial?
This is obviously to prevent people from reincarnation forever.
How can sky burial dig out people's hearts and throw them into the well first?
"Isn't it true that sky burial is also popular among Tibetans?
Don't they call the eagles that eat corpses sacred eagles?"
Ergou said it with enthusiasm, just like the truth, "It's the same in our village, but it's not hawks that eat the corpses but moths."
"Those moths are called crocodile moths" After a pause, Ergou continued to explain: "If I have a chance, I will catch one and show it to you.
They are like crocodiles that have shrunk countless times.
What they have more than a crocodile is a set of wings."
I thought he would talk about human-faced moth in the future, but I didn’t expect crocodile moth.
"Not only in appearance, but also in eating.
Their mouthparts are very sharp.
After biting the meat, they will rotate, tear off the meat through rotation, and then swallow it."

Ergou explained in detail, but his eyes became wandering and couldn't find the focus.
He fell into some kind of memory.
The three of us looked at each other, and no one bothered Ergou.
His performance today completely overturned my understanding of him.
If on the first day, I still regarded Ergou as a wretched, money-grubbing, sinister little villager.
So now his image has been completely overturned.
Ergou is a person with a story.
He must have experienced a terrible past, otherwise he wouldn't have such an expression.
"After eating the corpse, they will not leave.
They will lay eggs.
First, they will secrete a liquid that melts the bones, then inject the eggs into the melted bone fluid, and finally spread the bone fluid on the stones.
The stone looks no different than before."
Ergou's voice became excited.
His fists were also clenched, as if he had seen something terrifying.
This expression was the same as when he was carrying the female corpse just now.
"You know, actually crocodile moths don't eat living people, they only eat the flesh of dead people."
Ergou turned his head.
The erratic condition on his face became more serious.
"Then why are you afraid?"
I asked following his words.
It would be better not to disturb him at this time.
In his state, we can get more words out of him.
"I saw her.
She was lying on the stone and smiling at me.
She begged me to let her go.
She said she was willing to marry me and have children with me."
Ergou started crying, big tears falling from the corners of his eyes, "It's a pity that those moths flew over too late.
They were eating her, and I wanted to stop them, but there were too many moths.
I saw those moths with my own eyes.
The moths tore off her flesh and melted her bones to mix with their eggs.”
Ergou fell into a state of madness.
He just said that those moths only eat dead people.
How could the woman he called her speak?
And according to the normal procedure, they would take out the heart and throw it into the well.
It has no soul.
In this case, how could she speak.
Ergou’s words are inconsistent, but one thing can be confirmed, he is indeed a person with a story, and the story behind it is very cruel:
