Late at night, the road was delayed slightly, and Wang Zan and Shah finally drove into the Weinan County.

This county town gives people the feeling that even the small 28th-tier cities in China are not as good as those in the country. There are basically no high-rise buildings, most of which are two or three floors, and at most seven floors. The whole city is particularly dark at this point, and there seems to be no nightlife at all. Only occasionally some buildings are still on their lights, and people and cars are basically no longer visible on the road.

Shah said to Wang Zan: "In fact, it is still relatively backward here and the economy is not very developed. So at night, most people will go to bed and basically don't have any activities outside. Moreover, these Madula natives are also more respectful of the darkness. They think it is unsafe after it gets dark. This insecurity does not come from artificial things. They think that many bad things will happen in the dark."

"Well, I can see that, have you been here?" Wang Zan asked.

"I came once a few years ago, but it was not as good as it is now..."

The address Lan Jiayi gave Wang Zan was in the northeast of Wennan County, about 30 kilometers away, which was not far away. However, Shah told Wang Zan that it was dark and it was not suitable to drive there. There was basically no road in the direction there, and driving was a bit dangerous. It was better to rest tonight and leave tomorrow morning before leaving.

Wang Zan then told Lan Jiayi that she had already arrived, but she would have to go there tomorrow morning. The other party seemed to know that it was not easy to leave here, so she did not force her after hearing that Wang Zan had arrived. Anyway, it was only more than four hours before dawn, so I could just hold on.

It would be a bit difficult to stay in this place, and there were almost no hotels, so I thought I would set off tomorrow morning, so the two of them could just stay in the car overnight.

Since the road that had been running all day during the day and the people were basically not getting off the bus, Wang Zan and Shah fell on the seat within a few minutes and all snored, and then fell asleep.

At midnight, it started drizzling outside.

I was speechless all night, at four o'clock in the morning.

Wang Zan woke up first. Although the sky outside was already bright, it was a bit gloomy and the visibility was not very high, giving people a very depressing feeling.

"Pa" Wang Zan lit a cigarette and put it down a gap in the window. He took a few puffs and felt a little more energetic. Shah also woke up at this time, looked at the rainy day outside the window and frowned.

Wang Zan said: "Why, it's hard to walk there when it rains?"

"Well, it must be difficult to leave. You have lived in China for a long time and you should have never been to such a backward place. This time you can experience it well." Shah started the car and said, "I'll drive first. You can eat something first and return it to me to drive it. I guess it will take more than two hours if it's over 30 kilometers."

After a while, the car left the county town and walked to the northeast. Not long after leaving the city, Wang Zan really realized what it means to be behind. A small road was rugged and muddy, and the road was full of mud and stones. After the car drove over, the meat on the bumpy person was twisted and his waist was sore that it felt sore.

This kind of road is basically invisible in mountainous areas in China, but in remote areas in Malay, it is basically in remote areas.

Nearly an hour later, Shah stopped the car and the two had to change shifts.

"Bang" They pushed open the car door, and Shah came to the co-pilot. Wang Zan said he wanted to go to the toilet, so he walked aside and untied his pants.

"Crash..." The sound of water flowing sounded, and it was raining. Wang Zan had been holding it in a long time and was drained. After he finished peeing, he had just thrown his pants twice to lift up his pants. When he turned his head, he saw many black jars under the trees there, and a red rope was tied under the roots of the trees. Most of the ropes had fallen and could not see their original color. Only two or three looked quite new.

Those black jars were about half a meter high and quite thick, a bit similar to those used in pickled pickles in some places in China. However, what made Wang Zan feel a little strange was that it was drizzling, and the woods should be filled with the moist smell of rain, but he smelled the nose and found that there was a very obvious rotten smell around him.

Wang Zan frowned and lifted his pants, came back to get into the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove forward, and then asked in confusion: "I just went to the bathroom and saw ropes tied under the trees beside the bushes and a black jar was placed. What is that?"

"Are there many, preferably four or five or more?"

"Well, it's more than a dozen, almost ten are almost there," Wang Zan recalled and said.

Shah said "Huh" and then explained: "These jars are filled with corpses. The locals call corpse urns, which are probably similar to the coffins we call. Basically, they are all in one family. If you say there are about ten jars, it means that the family has a large population, and they must be considered a big family in the local area."

Wang Zan said in surprise: "The corpse is just put inside? No wonder I smell a rotten smell, but this place is so slanted and the forest is quite dense. I guess there must be many wild animals here, and I am not afraid of being dragged out and eaten by some animals?"

Shah shook his head and said, "There are wild animals in the woods, but they will not move these jars. The bodies will be dismembered when they are put in. Otherwise, how can you be stuffed into a person who is so big? Before the jar is sealed, Ma Duluo will put some herbs in it. It is said that these herbs will evaporate when they are mixed with blood and evaporate. The animals will avoid them from afar and naturally will not come."

Wang Zan was stunned when he heard this. He would even be dismembered by a corpse if he was stuffed into a jar and not buried. This is really a world of wonder. This strange custom is simply too incredible, but it is not particularly bizarre to think about it. After all, the sky burial ceremony is still preserved in some places in the Tibetan area. The corpses that were eaten by vultures are quite similar to this.

"Do you know where this custom comes from? Do you have any explanation?" Wang Zan asked.
