Guo Mingze asked again: "Grandma, even if they are really blocked in the lower reaches of the river, then after so many years, they should be a pile of white bones."
Grandma shook her head and said: "There was a saying that death is not rotten before, as for whether it is really grandma has not seen it with her own eyes, after all, the child and the fish seller have been dead for many years, if you say that the newly dead corpse, the body is still very likely to not rot." ” I stared at the two big eyes, my pupils contracted violently, and I asked with some fear: "Grandma, this person has been dead for so many years, if the body is not decomposed, what a terrible thing it must be, this cannot be explained scientifically."
Grandma smiled: "The world is so big, anything can happen, not everything is explained clearly by science, just take ghosts as an example, some people don't believe that there are ghosts in this world at all, then you have seen it with your own eyes a few times, I now ask you if you believe that there are ghosts in this world, and you will still say that you don't believe it, this is something that science can't explain." ” "Oh yes, I really can't explain the ghost, because a lot of people don't believe it," I replied.
Uncle and Grandpa and Guo Mingze didn't speak, but they just sat on the side and nodded, but the uncle and grandmother on the side said: "Sister, if you really tell you right, then the river is really the unrotten corpses of the child and the fish seller, what can I do?"
Grandma thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's not difficult to do, if their corpses are really not rotten, they also feel that they are unwilling to die, and they can't be buried in the ground, so they naturally want to make a fuss to find a replacement for the dead ghosts, find their families after they are fished up, put their corpses in the courtyard of the house for three days, and re-set up the mourning hall to keep the spirit, I try to help them relieve their grievances in their hearts, and see if they can make them willingly give up all resentment, if not, then they can only come hard." ” "Grandma, it's summer, if the river is really the corpses of the two of them, and they are fished up and put in the yard, the weather is so hot, then it can't be more smelly, I have read in the book, it is easy to breed bacteria in summer, and then it will rot badly, and what can be done to cause the plague mentioned in the book?"
I asked.
Grandma nodded and said, "Well, I also thought about this question, it will definitely not work to stay outside for three days in the summer, then at least one day outside, anyway, the corpse must be placed at home for a day, this is to tell the dead that it is home, and it is no longer a lonely ghost wandering around." ” Everyone nodded, indicating that they had understood what Grandma had said, it was too early to say this, and tomorrow would depend on how things would develop, if there were no corpses in the river, or another corpse that everyone did not know, then all the things planned and arranged now would have to be overturned, and the clues to the haunting in the river would have to be found all over again.
The matter has basically been talked about, and my grandmother told all of us not to tell anyone outside what the family says, even the villagers who will help go to the river to retrieve the corpses tomorrow, so as not to cause panic, we have no way to solve the serious situation.
Everyone nodded very seriously, Uncle and Grandpa urged us to go to bed early, we are tired after walking so many roads today, and we have to set off to the river again tomorrow morning, and we have to walk for a few hours to arrive, we need to have a good rest tonight, so that we can have the mental and physical strength to plan for tomorrow's things. aa2705221:
