Chapter 280 First Burial


    Yes.


    While everyone is discussing.


    ?Grandma Wang’s body was lying nearby with only a rag covering it, which made the newcomers somewhat distracted during the 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.


    Revolving around the disposal of corpses.


    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 what happens.


    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 is the first time Wu Xian has encountered this situation.


    Because he has participated in the blessed land before, it is usually very clear what to do next, and even if occasionally encountering a situation that is difficult to handle, everyone has the same opinion.


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


    In the end, Wen Chao was cautious and worked hard to reconcile different opinions. Only then did everyone''s quarrels calm down and stop at the point of disagreement without causing conflicts.


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


    The first is the Burialist group.


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


    The second one is the bystanders.


    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.


    We are not even planning to sleep together tonight.


    It happened that Granny Wang died and the room where she lived became vacant. Wu Xian and other five people from the burial party happened to move there and live separately from the large army.


    ??Although living separately 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 obtain 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 of all, these old people hold important information.


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


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


    No matter how you look at it, the new family members don’t want to let the old people die quickly in a bad environment, so they decided to help these old men and women as much as they can.


    The discussion is over.


    Everyone got busy at the same time.


    ?Some people were setting up stoves, some were washing vegetables and dishes, some were dismantling wild boar carcasses, and some found some coarse salt in the room...


    There was unexpectedly plenty of firewood, and they didn’t even use the dry firewood that Wen Chao brought them.


    ??While Wu Xian was walking around the village during the day, he pushed through the weeds and discovered a huge pile of debris. The pile was full of decayed coffins and fragments of urns. The decayed coffins were the best fuel.


    Gulu, gulu…


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


    Everyone was already hungry after a long day of work. 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 is fishy and difficult to chew, and the wild vegetables are bitter in the mouth. This meal can only be said to be barely satisfying, relatively clean, and has a salty taste, that''s all.


    ?This made Wu Xian feel a little nostalgic for historical achievements. 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 other people.


    It is necessary to dig a hole and bury Wang Po before dark.


    ??Burying Granny Wang regardless of taboos 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.


    ??They picked out a relatively complete tattered coffin from the pile of tattered coffins, put Granny Wang''s body in it, 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 tattered coffins. This big pit had been filled with coffins and urns. He didn''t know what would happen to this big pit after all the shabby coffins and urns were taken out. 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 urns sent to them. This shows that this is not the first time that the Immortal City has sent coffins and urns 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?


    Perhaps 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 is only one shovel, and the work of digging the hole can only be done by three men in turns.


    ?This is not for the sake of being polite to a lady or anything like that.


    It’s just that it’s more efficient.


    ?Those who are not digging a hole with a shovel 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 her cleaning up, the appearance of Granny Wang''s death became a little better.


    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 ‘correct’ funeral is.


    So we can’t just dig a hole and bury it, 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 can 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 completed 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 on the spot. This was the first grave they saw after arriving in this blessed land.


    Throughout the burial process.


    ?Wu Xian has always felt that there is a vague sense 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 graves...
