"Ah, is there really such a thing?" Cheng He was stunned, and everyone in the lounge was interested, and they all gathered around to see the shabby doll in Zhao Yongqi's hand.

"Frog Oba, tell me, what is a cursed doll? Can you curse people?" Li Zhien immediately became interested, grabbed Zhao Yongqi's arm, talked excitedly for a long time, and immediately tilted his little head and said with a smile: "He Oba has a stomachache, it can't be because of this, right?"

Zhao Yongqi nodded, shook his head again, and said in the puzzled eyes of everyone: "The so-called villain beaters we often see are generally written on a piece of paper cut into the shape of a human by writing the name of the enemy, and then slapping it to make the enemy unlucky. Or you can prick a small figure with straw and stick a piece of paper with your name on it, and then prick it with a few needles. It is said that where the villain is pierced, the enemy will be hurt. Actually, these are superstitions, and I never believe in them. However, if the cloth used for this doll is the same as I suspected, then it is really possible to achieve this so-called 'revenge'. ”

"Hey?" This time, even the little bun became interested, pointing to the cloth that looked black and white, and looked like a beggar had used it for a long time, and was stained with all kinds of stains, and said, "Brother Qi, do you think there is something wrong with this fabric?"

After taking the doll from Deng Chao's hand, he turned around to find a sealed plastic bag containing documents, and after throwing the doll in and locking the strip, Zhao Yongqi pointed to the thing in his hand and said: "I never believe in any curse, but if it is a biological weapon, it is easy to understand." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yongqi didn't look like he was laughing, everyone immediately surrounded him, waiting for his future words with anticipation.

Zhao Yongqi waved the things in his hand casually and said seriously: "According to legend, since the Song Dynasty, in southern Yunnan, there has been a new profession, called corpse collector. This kind of corpse collector is not as bizarre as the corpse chaser in Xiangxi, and they can be understood as a special profession.

Since the Song Dynasty, the courtiers made big mistakes, and the emperor was angry, often exiled to Lingnan. Lingnan is not like now, it has become a tourist mecca, and it can be said to be a barren land at that time. For the eunuchs who are accustomed to the prosperous life of the Central Plains, it is as terrifying as hell.

Due to the restrictions of the times, the medical technology at that time was very backward, and there were almost no medical means for Lingnan miasma, malaria, etc., so the dignitaries and nobles who were exiled to Lingnan often died of local diseases and water and soil adaptation. ”

Turning around and grabbing the cup on his seat, he drank a little water to moisten his mouth, Zhao Yongqi continued: "Actually, the royal family of the Song Dynasty is still relatively tolerant of the courtiers, unless they make a great mistake, they will rarely raid the family and exterminate the clan, and basically will not exile the whole family. There are even many courtiers, and there are many opportunities to make a comeback. Therefore, generally speaking, the families of the big people who were exiled to Lingnan can still live a landlord life in the capital or in their hometown. In this way, a problem arises. If their pillars die in Lingnan, what will happen to their corpses? According to the tradition of our Chinese people, it is natural to return to their roots, and even if they die, they must return to their hometowns. However, Lingnan is also said to be like hell, and in the eyes of many people, it is simply a place where you go to die, and how can you enjoy the glory and wealth of your family. As a result, a professional corpse collector, or simply a corpse courier, appeared. ”

"Ah, it's so terrifying!" Feifei and Li Zhien, the little cuties, like to listen to ghost stories the most, but they are the least daring, it is still noon in broad daylight, and the solar energy outside the door dries people, but the two little guys have already grabbed Zhao Yongqi's arm left and right, and almost shrank their small bodies into his arms. However, those two pairs of beautiful eyes stared at Xiao Qi's lips, and seemed to be looking forward to the next "wonderful story".

"Whether there is such a corpse express in history is still two theories, but in the wild history, or in some Zhiwei novels, it really appears. Zhao Yongqi licked his lips and said, "I once read books on this subject, and one of them describes in detail the working methods of these corpse couriers. They would take a large piece of white linen cloth five or six meters long and three or four meters wide, place the body to be transported in the center of the white cloth, and wrap the body on both sides of the wide width first. Then, more than a dozen big men twisted the two sections of the white cloth as if we were twisting towels, and desperately rotated in opposite directions, so that the white cloth naturally wrapped the corpse tightly. Once you have done this, hold the white cloth in place, then continue to hold the white cloth and repeat. After three or four such treatments, the body was completely wrapped in a white cloth, and it could even be said that it was in a state of non-contact with the air. ”

"Why is it so easy to carry?" Deng Chao asked after thinking about it with some doubts.

"Well, it's one thing to be easy to handle. Zhao Yongqi nodded and said: "The corpse that has been processed in this way only needs two people in front and back to carry it easily like picking something, and it is indeed convenient to enter and exit the southern Yunnan region that is not suitable for carriage walking." Another important aspect is to keep the body from decomposing for a long time. We all know that corpses decompose, mainly because of the problem of bacterial growth. In addition, external factors such as temperature and sunlight are also important. Theoretically, if it can be left in a vacuum, the corpse can remain unchanged for a long time. Although this kind of treatment cannot reach a vacuum, it also reduces the communication between the corpse and the air to a large extent, which is equivalent to extending the 'shelf life' in disguise, so that the corpse can be returned to the destination where it needs to be transported more completely. ”

"Xiao Qi, you won't say that the fabric of this doll is what kind of shroud, right?" Cheng He rolled his eyes, thinking that he had pinched and fiddled with it in his hand for a long time before, and swallowed his saliva.

The corners of Zhao Yongqi's mouth turned up, and he nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, that's what I think." ”

"Ahh

This time, the frying pan in the lounge was blown. Before, because they thought it was funny, almost everyone had seen it, but now Zhao Yongqi actually said that it was such a disgusting thing, the men were a little better, and the girls almost immediately stepped aside, as far away as possible from the contents of the plastic bag.

"Hehe, what are you afraid of. Zhao Yongqi shook his head with a smile and said, "Even if the Song Dynasty really had such a thing, it would have turned to ashes by now, how could it appear in front of you." I'm just saying that this should be something like that. ”
