Dr. Jiang looked at these corpses, and said in a sad tone: "It rained a few days ago, and the corpses thrown here were swollen and rotted by the rainwater. Originally, these people should be buried in the ground and put in coffins." Some of them were buried there, but because of the plague, some homes were empty.
So these dead people were thrown into the mountains for sky burial. "
The so-called celestial burial is when a corpse is decomposed and eaten clean by crows and vultures, leaving only a skeleton...
Chu Yunyao knows three ways of burial, cremation, burial and sky burial.
Although some places do have this belief, the sky burial here can only be regarded as a forced burial method.
Walking to a certain place, Chu Yunyao heard the sound of several mice "squeaking" and looked along the source of the sound, and saw several mice dragging out of the hole a thick and long arm-like blacksnake.
Several mice gnawed bloody flesh from the big snake.
The black snake is in the hibernation period, even if the bitten person wakes up from the pain, his movements are extremely slow, and he has no power to fight back, only to be bitten to death.
After the few mice were full, they quickly got into the haystack and disappeared.
Chu Yunyao watched the whole process in a daze, only to feel the cold wind soaking into the bone marrow, the chill was so overwhelming that even the blood was about to freeze.
This kind of hunting that violates the biological world is too creepy.
These mice even dare to eat their own natural enemies, will they even dare to eat humans one day?
Although she knew that mice were omnivores and would eat all kinds of meat, it was the first time in her two lifetimes that she saw a mouse devour a black boa constrictor alive.
Dr. Jiang saw that Chu Yunyao finally seemed to have some fear on his face, and he became more and more disdainful in his heart.
Originally thought she would be afraid of mice, but it turned out that this girl was afraid of snakes.
Doctor Jiang is a kind-hearted old man. Although he despised Chu Yunyao for being timid, he still explained with a cold face: "It's winter now, and these big snakes are hibernating, so they won't bite you."
Mu Qing thought that Chu Yunyao was intimidated by this bloody biting scene, and thought: After all, the young lady is a girl, and she is young, so this kind of scene is indeed bloody.
But when the white mink and the little wolf raised by the young lady herself did not see the young lady so frightened, did she?
Mu Qing raised his hand to block Chu Yunyao's eyes: "Young Madam, animals are always preyed on by the weak and the strong. If you feel scared, don't watch it."
Chu Yunyao withdrew her gaze and looked around.
I don't know if it's because there are too many dead bodies, or because the winter sunset makes the whole mountain look luxuriant and desolate.
Chu Yunyao looked up, looked at the crows circling above her head, and asked hoarsely, "Why do these rats even dare to eat snakes?"
If the snake meat had been fried, or if the snake couldn't be distinguished clearly, she could still figure it out if these rats ate the snake meat.
But these big and fat mice clearly regarded these hibernating big snakes as a delicacy to fill their stomachs, and ate them with relish.
Doctor Zhang sighed: "Young Madam doesn't know, this Snake Mountain is in summer, because there are too many snakes and there are not many other animals, the snakes rely on these rats for food.
In winter, when everything is depressed, these snakes hibernate, and the mice suddenly have no natural enemies, and they reproduce quickly.
There is no farmland nearby, and this summer's harvest is not good. Not to mention rats, they don't even have to eat people. In order to survive, these rats aimed at the hibernating snakes.
Survive the winter by eating these snakes. "
This old man has lived most of his life, and this is the first time he has seen such a thing that goes against the laws of nature. "
