According to the old knife, in fact, the corpse is still used for many purposes in the southern Xinjiang generation.

It's definitely not just what Ding Fan imagined before, medical school will be useful, and nothing else!

For example, the commonly used secret marriage is a big entry, although the old knife has not been exposed to a lot, but he also knows some general things.

For example, if you want to have a ghost marriage, at least the body must be intact, and secondly, the appearance of the body must not have serious injuries.

These two points are similar to the previous stolen corpses, as for the age of the corpses, try to be as young as possible, or the smaller the better, and there is also a saying that the smaller the more valuable.

Of course, the kind that dies after birth is not counted, after all, men and women may not be able to see it, and people may not necessarily want it!

Looking at it this way, this case is likely to have a certain relationship with this so-called secret marriage.

But then the old knife showed Ding Fan his so-called works, which turned out to be some insects growing in corpses.

This was the first time Ding Fan had seen such a disgusting scene, and he almost vomited on the spot.

On the contrary, he was looking at the old knife, and when he saw these insects at this time, he looked intoxicated, and carefully dragged these insects, as if he was looking at his own children, cherishing these disgusting things.

But later, the words of the old knife completely woke up Ding Fan, and he finally knew why the old knife raised these things!

When the corpse arrived, there were no of these insects in it, and the eggs were all put in by him, and after the temperature was controlled, these insects would grow into worms in the corpse, and they would grow by devouring these rotting corpses.

And these corpses themselves are poisonous, if these insects can grow on the carrion of the corpses, there can naturally be certain antibodies in the body.

It has a certain resistance to the toxins in the corpse!

However, these eggs are often planted in hundreds, and only three or two survive, relying on the second breeding eggs of these insects, and planting them in the corpse again, repeatedly improving the resistance of the insects to these toxins, and completely producing effective antibodies in the body, so as to control this toxin.

It's a very long process, and as you can imagine, there is a great demand for corpses.

So for someone like him who keeps bugs, the corpse is really important!

However, the corpses they need are often more difficult to find, to put it bluntly, the corpses they need are the kind of corpses that themselves suffer from incurable diseases, and there is not so much need for ordinary corpses!

In other words, the most suspicious are those so-called underworld media, and only they need a large number of corpses to use this so-called underworld medium to profit from it!

And Ashali finally understood Ding Fan's purpose for entering the mountain this time, because he had a little contact with those underworld media, he even provided Ding Fan with a little clue, telling him to go out and check along this road.

The matter of the case can finally be regarded as asking a little direction, and it is said that at this time, Ding Fan should also leave.

But the sky outside has already darkened, and I am afraid that it will not be an hour before it will be completely dark.

If you leave at this time, I am afraid that you may encounter miasma in the mountains on the way, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous at that time.

The old knife is also a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted master, what he said before was blunt, and he asked Ding Fan to leave quickly after asking, but at this time, although he didn't say anything, he put three pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, obviously asking Ding Fan to stay here for a night and wait for the miasma to dissipate before leaving.

That night, Ding Fan stayed at Lao Daozi's place

came down, sat with Ashali Old Knife at night, chatted while eating, and tested Old Knife's opinion on Old Witch Village.

But as soon as he said that, the old knife keenly sensed something, glared at Ding Fan viciously, didn't say anything, but kept pouring wine into his mouth, as if drinking water, and he didn't know how much he drank, and finally got drunk and fell asleep on the ground.

Ashali seems to have long been accustomed to the old knife drinking too much and falling asleep, wherever she sleeps, it is normal, after eating, she simply packed up her things and went to sleep inside.

When Ashali left, Ding Fan sat next to the old knife, stretched out his foot and kicked it and said, "Everyone is gone, don't pretend!"

The old knife squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at Ding Fan, sat up slowly, took out a small brown thing from his pocket with a cold face, threw it in his mouth and bit it hard, and said, "That old thing called you to be a lobbyist?"

The old thing that the old knife said in his mouth should be the old village owner.

It seems that from the beginning, when Ding Fan tested him, he had already seen who called him.

It's just that Ashali was sitting on the side at that time, so he couldn't break it directly!

Ding Fan didn't speak, just nodded, which was considered to be an acknowledgement.

"Actually, he should know very well that the village has changed, and it is no longer the pure land of the past!" Saying this, the old knife also turned around and glanced behind him, as if he was afraid that his words would be heard by Ashali, and confirmed that no one was listening, before continuing: "Did he tell you about the events of the year?" The village back then was not what it is now, and the people at that time were not what they are now, as if everything had changed that night, and people had become like hideous ghosts, and I would dream every night, dreaming of those people back then, and then I was so frightened that I woke up in a cold sweat!"

Ding Fan knew what the old knife was talking about, maybe it was the first time he intuitively faced the ugliness of human nature.

It was that time that he completely lost faith in these so-called human natures.

As for the fact that he was not so much driven out of the stockade as he escaped out of fear!

"In fact, people have fear, and they can't be completely blamed for this!" Ding Fan could not imagine what those people looked like at that time, but seeing the fear in the eyes of the old knife, it also made him feel like he was there, and when the mountain wind blew, the goosebumps on his body rose, but he still tried his best to persuade him: "I think what happened back then must have hit you hard, otherwise it wouldn't have been so many years later, and you still can't let go!"

The old knife sat on the edge of the cliff, blowing the mountain breeze outside, and suddenly laughed, although there were tears in the corners of his eyes, he said with a strange smile on his face: "Actually...... Controlling the plague bugs has been successful!"

This point, in fact, Ding Fan also thought of it, the previous old village owner said that the infected woman did not die.

Obviously, it was because the insects under the old knife at that time had begun to gradually take effect.

It's just that no one knows this, no one thinks about it, and the people, who are dominated by fear, ruthlessly throw the woman in the mire and bury her.

"If she hadn't died at that time, Longxugou wouldn't be what it is now. As he spoke, the old knife stretched out his hand and pointed at the miasma rising in the distance, and the smile on his face became more and more weird: "I thought she was dead, and all my previous efforts were all turned into ashes, but I didn't think that 'seed' was not dead, but still alive, do you know what it means?"

What else could it mean?

If the insect died, it meant that the person was not saved, but the insect survived in the end

This shows that this bug actually has basic antibodies against the plague.

According to the old knife's way of dealing with it, as long as the worm is allowed to lay eggs and replant on the woman's body, when the worm grows, it should be the time when the plague is completely controlled.

"They killed that woman and deprived her of the right to live, but they didn't know that if they hadn't done this, the village wouldn't have become what it is now!"

But judging from his words, it seems that something happened later, and the old witch village was not what it is now!

As soon as he saw the surprised look on Ding Fan's face, the old knife seemed to understand something suddenly, and asked Ding Fan with a smile: "Didn't he tell you how many people were in the old witch village and how big the village was?" Let me tell you, before the plague, the population of the old witch village alone said that there were more than 400 men, and in that plague, most of the people died, and even the Great Elder and the Third Elder who first proposed to kill the woman also died in that plague!"

There are more than 400 men?

Ding Fan was simply shocked by this number, you must know that the current Lao Wu Village, the entire village, even counting children, is probably less than 400 people!

As for the eldest elder and the third elder that Lao Daozi said, in fact, Ding Fan had been curious before, after all, in the entire village, there was only one clan elder, which seemed indeed a bit strange, and he was still a second elder who was not upright.

But Ding Fan didn't think much about it at that time, he just thought that he was old and died, but he never expected that he would die in the plague!

"Later, they buried the corpses outside the village, and it became these terrible miasma outside, right?" Ding Fan is not stupid, listening to him say so much, plus he usually reads a lot, he is very clear about the formation of the miasma, and it is easy to analyze the matter.

The old knife sat on the edge of the cliff and never spoke, but his silence seemed to speak for itself.

It seems that the truth of the matter is not just as simple as the old village owner said, he has hidden a lot of things in the middle.

"I don't like Chen Wenjie very much, but I have to agree with what he said!" The old knife was silent for a long time, and suddenly opened his mouth and said about Ding Fan's grandfather: "He said that if human beings want to progress, they can't regard ignorance as a custom, and good customs should be inherited, but the tradition of ignorance must be eradicated, otherwise it will definitely become a bane!"

Don't really say it, this sounds like what Ding Fan's grandfather said, and he knows it almost without verification, he must have said it casually at that time, but now he may not think of it when he asks him!

So Ding Fan didn't say anything, lowered his head and smiled slightly.

But the old knife continued: "When I heard this, I thought it was a little interesting, but he was unlucky, and was beaten by the people in the stockade, and finally was driven out. Now that I think about it, if someone could really understand what he said, maybe ...... It's too late to say anything now!"

"The most regrettable thing in this world is that there are no ifs. Ding Fan took a deep breath and said with a heavy heart: "What should happen will still happen, time is pushing everything, opportunities are always fleeting, it's too late to do it, instead of spending time on sighing, it's better to use it to see tomorrow." ”

The old man's stubborn temper can't be explained in a few words, Ding Fan has done his best to do what he can do, and everything that should be said has been made clear, and the things that follow are not what he can say.

When the old knife figured it out, he would naturally go back, if he couldn't figure it out, it would actually be good to live in this place in this life!
