Chapter 918 Strange Custom

Su Zixuan was startled, and she rushed over in a hurry, but the things in front of her changed her expression drastically.

There was actually a child hanging by the back door. It could be seen that... the child was dead, but the facial features and skin were still very fresh.

As for Zhao Min... his face turned pale with fright.

Le Tian looked at this scene with great interest, and kept tsk-tsk while watching.

"Letian... this, this, this..." Zhao Min's teeth were chattering.

"What is this? There is no problem with this..." Lotte replied.

"What's all right? Letian, what do you mean?" Su Zixuan asked hastily.

Le Tian made a mistake in talking half of what he said again, he didn't answer Su Zixuan's words, instead he pushed open the back door directly.

Behind the back door is Beishan. You can see many rocks covered with vegetation. There are two families behind Ergou's house, and their homes are located in a higher place.

"call……"

A gust of wind blew, and the body of the child who was hung by the back door shook slightly, looking at Zhao Min, the coldness in his heart continued to rise.

The second dog came over, he looked at the two women, but didn't say anything, he picked up a rag that was placed on the water tank, dipped it in the water tank, and then began to wipe the dead little boy's body.

Su Zixuan watched this scene in disbelief.

Le Tian closed the back door, and he looked at it and stood aside silently.

"Ergou... What... What's going on here? Is this your son?" Zhao Min asked, holding back his fear.

Ergou nodded.

"Why do you treat him like this? It's very pitiful that he died at such a young age, why should he hang like this?" Zhao Min asked suspiciously.

"You don't understand..." Ergou shook his head.

"Ergou... You are not a local, are you? When did you move here?" Letian said suddenly.

Er Gou looked at Le Tian in surprise.

"My father's generation came here..." he replied.

Lotte nodded.

"Let's go to the main hall to talk..." he asked.

Ergou nodded, put down the things in his hand, turned around and left.

Just as Le Tian was about to follow, he was stopped by Su Zixuan and Zhao Min. The two women stared at Le Tian.

"Do you know something? Can you explain it to us?" Su Zixuan asked.

"Well... there is nothing to explain, this is just an extremely rare custom! In some remote mountainous areas... children cannot die young. Once the family dies, it is a very serious matter. It is said that the child's resentment Most importantly, if it is not handled properly, it will endanger the lives of the entire clan." Letian muttered.

The two women listened carefully, these things are like fairy tales.

Zhao Min glanced at the dead child, her heart pounding.

"As far as I know...if a child dies in such a place, the elders in the family will make a rule that they are not allowed to go out during the day for three years, and must go out at night! This will make the dead child think that he is not dead, and The child's body cannot be destroyed, it must be kept for three years before it can be buried!" Le Tian continued.

"How is this possible? Keep it for three years...unless it's in the refrigerator!" Zhao Min said.

"It's possible! There are many things in this world that you, a little reporter, can't understand! Take this child as an example...he has been dead for at least a few months, but look...his body is very well preserved It's fine." Le Tian pointed to the child.

"Is it related to the water that Ergou just wiped?" Su Zixuan seemed to see something.

"It's not just water. I guess it's actually light salt water. It's also related to the position where the child is hung. This position is also particular. This position is the only extremely negative position in this family! Let alone hang a child in this position." Yes, even if you hang a pig, its meat will never rot." Le Tian shook his head.

He looked at the two women and saw the surprised expressions on their faces, Le Tian smiled slightly and walked out.

"Is it so exaggerated?" Zhao Min couldn't help but glanced at the child again.

"Forget it, let's go out." Su Zixuan pulled Zhao Min away from Westinghouse.

Back in the main hall, several people sat down, Le Tian heard a woman coughing in the east room.

"Is there a patient at home?" Letian asked.

Ergou glanced at Lotte and nodded.

"The child's mother has been stimulated! The body has been very weak...the family has no money." He said slowly.

Letian nodded, and he looked at Zhao Min.

"Ergou...I'll ask you a few questions, and I'll pay you some money after I'm done asking, is that okay?" Zhao Min looked at Ergou.

Ergou nodded.

"Hanging children by the back door...is it a custom in your family?" Zhao Min asked.

Ergou nodded.

"This is passed down from the older generation! It will take three years to hang..." he replied.

Zhao Min looked at Lotte, this guy really has two brushes, he knows all about it.

"There is a legend in the village...you will see this child running around the village from time to time at night. Is this true?" she continued to ask.

Le Tian pointed at Ergou with a miniature camera.

"That's all rumors..." Ergou replied.

"But I asked almost all the villagers I met, and they all said they saw it. So many people wouldn't lie together?" Zhao Min asked.

Ergou was silent for a while, as if he was struggling for a while.

"There was no such thing before, but since the family behind my house suddenly moved a few people, this kind of thing has appeared. In fact... I have also seen it. My son will suddenly Jumping off the rope from which he was hanging, it was like coming to life...my wife was terrified like that."

He said slowly.

"You mean... one of the two latter two?" Letian asked.

"Yes, it's the one on the right! The one on the left has only one old man left..." Ergou replied.

"Then... what do those people who moved here look like? Have you seen them?" Le Tian asked.

Ergou nodded.

"About five or six people, but often some outsiders come to give them something, as if someone was injured! Sometimes I go into the mountains to collect medicine, and when I pass by their house, I can hear the screams of people inside! But the sound Very low..." he said.

Le Tian nodded and stopped asking any more questions.

He gave Su Zixuan the miniature camera in his hand, and then left by himself.

"What is Le Tian doing?" Zhao Min asked strangely.

Su Zixuan shook her head.

This guy only left a sentence to tell him to wait here before he ran away. Su Zixuan was also puzzled, but looking at the direction of Lotte, it seemed that he was going to the car.

Zhao Min continued to ask Ergou questions, and Ergou almost knew all the answers.
