Chapter Thirty-Four: A Well-Preserved Corpse?
[Ran^Text^Library] Granny Qin and I looked at each other frighteningly, opened our mouths wide, and couldn't close for a long time. Le-Wen couldn't believe the news at all, but when we looked at the serious and deeply remorseful look of the old lady, we had to believe that Zhong Tianshi had been made half-dead by Mitsuko Yamada.
The relationship between Granny Qin and Uncle Zhong is far deeper than mine, she looked extremely flustered, and immediately asked, "Aunt Xing, are you ...... You said that I was Senior Brother Zhong...... What does it mean that he is half dead? ”
The old lady coughed and said, "You haven't heard me finish the matter...... Cough...... Ahem......"
I was stunned for a long time, and a question suddenly came to my mind, and after more than ten seconds, I spoke: "Yes, your old man doesn't seem to have told us what happened after you opened the coffin and rescued Uncle Yongfu and Yongcai. ”
The old lady nodded and said, "After opening the coffin, more than a dozen young and strong men immediately stepped forward to pull Yongfu and Yongcai out of the coffin, and then helped them untie them. Of course, I knew it was a ghost's doing. In order not to let too many people know about the matter, I asked my son to take Yongfu and Yongcai back to the old house. Then we began to interrogate them in detail, and finally learned the truth of the matter. When we learned from Yongfu's mouth that Yongcai was possessed by the ghosts, we panicked and found the demon exorcist master Zhong Daring. ”
When the old lady said this, she suddenly slapped the table with her hand, she pointed at Xing Yongfu's body and cursed: "It's all you useless thing, if you had told us earlier that you knew that Yongcai was possessed by that powerful ghost, we wouldn't have caused Zhong Tianshi to be half-dead and half-alive by the powerful ghost......
After listening to the words of the old lady, I was surprised, the ghost had obviously broken away from Xing Yongcai's body, at this time, Xing Yongcai was already a person with his own thoughts, he would never do anything ridiculous and scary again, since the ghosts were gone, why should the people of the criminal family take the initiative to provoke the ghosts? If it is said that the old lady is trying to snatch back the body of the old lady from the hands of the ghost, then it is not right, the old lady is old, and the bones are afraid that they have already rotted into ashes, and the ghost snatching that thing does not seem to work, will the criminal family fight with the ghost for a bunch of things that have long been rotten to ashes? Moreover, the old lady had already told me that her husband had done a lot of bad things during his lifetime, and according to common sense, she should not have much affection for her husband, and it seemed that she would not invite the exorcist master to come at all.
In order to know why Uncle Zhong was made half dead by Mitsuko Yamada, I hurriedly asked her: "Old lady, since that terrible ghost has already broken away from Uncle Yongcai's body, why do you have to go to Zhong Tianshi again at this time?" ”
The old lady sighed and cried, "Originally, we really shouldn't have gone to find Zhong Tianshi again, but ...... But my husband's intact body is still in the hands of the ghost, and she stole my husband's intact body, although it is said that my husband did many evils in his life, and he died innocently, but his intact body is of great value to me to study. That's the life's work I've been doing cadaver research. ”
I paused, exhaled deeply, and couldn't help but ask, "An intact corpse?" Old lady Xing, don't joke with me, if the old lady is still alive now, he must be about the same age as you, and he should be more than a hundred years old, right? How long has it been since he died? ”
The old lady stopped crying, she kept coughing, she coughed and said: "Although my husband did a lot of bad things when he was young, he also enjoyed a long life when he died, and he lived more than eighty years before he died. ”
I heard her say this, frowned, and muttered, "He died in his eighties, doesn't that mean that he has been dead for more than twenty years?" A person who has been dead for more than 20 years can still leave an intact body? Even if it is better preserved, I am afraid that it will be rotten a long time ago, and only a pile of white bones remains! ”
The old lady waved her hand repeatedly, obviously disagreeing with me.
She picked up a cup of boiling water on the table, took a sip of tea, and continued: "According to normal theory, it is true that the speed of an ordinary person's corpse* is greatly affected by the ambient temperature, the cause of death, and the individual's constitution. In the human body, because the ileocecal region is prone to stagnation of feces, it occurs earlier after death, and more hydrogen sulfide is produced, so the corpse green first appears in the right lower abdomen. Corpse green usually begins at the end of the first day and night, and then gradually expands, spreading to the entire abdomen and then to the whole body. Generally speaking, about 15 days after death, the soft tissues of the whole body begin to decay, emerate, collapse, and digest rapidly. ”
With my mouth wide open, I pricked up my ears and listened quietly to the words of the more than 100-year-old country lady in front of me, who spoke these theories more clearly than the senior experts.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such a coherent and convincing theory could have come from the mouth of an old man in the countryside.
Just as I was amazed at her knowledge, she smiled at me and continued, "However, if the corpse has been kept in ice at a very low temperature, then the corpse* will be slower, and even not * in the snow and ice. When there are factors conducive to the development and reproduction of bacteria, the carcass * is fast; Otherwise slow down or stop. In other words, if the temperature in the tomb is lower than that of ice, and there is no bacteria growing in the entire tomb to develop and reproduce on its own, the body can remain intact. ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, if the corpse had been kept in a very cold block of ice, it would not be perishable, and it might not even rot at all. In addition, if there are no bacteria in the coffin of the grave where the body is buried, it is possible for the body to stop decomposing, and it may even be preserved exactly as it was before death. However, this does not seem possible. ”
The old lady looked at me, blinked, and said, "How can it not be possible? Young man, you have to know that anything in the world can happen. ”
I was speechless for a while, and after being stunned for a while, I waved my hand again and again: "This is impossible, you must know that if you put ice cubes in the grave, it will melt, and once the ice cubes in the tomb melt, it will produce a lot of stagnant water, and once there is stagnant water in the grave, then the corpse will rot faster." Besides, how do you make sure that the area around the corpse buried under the surface is free of bacteria? ”
The old lady laughed and said, "Little child, don't be too absolute, let me ask you why the ice cubes melt?" ”
I frowned, too bored by the common sense questions that elementary school students knew.
I spread my hands and said, "Of course, it's because the ice is in a hotter environment than it, and the heat melts the ice." ”
The old lady nodded again and again, and said, "You are not bad at all, so what are the prerequisites for the production of ice cubes?" ”
I rolled my eyes and said impatiently, "As long as the temperature in the grave is below zero degrees Celsius, the water may turn into ice." ”
By the time I got to this point, something seemed to come to mind, and I lost my voice: "You mean that the bones in the old lady's grave are covered with a large amount of ice, so that his body can be preserved intact?" ”
The old lady laughed and said proudly: "Of course, this is a very easy thing to do, when I buried my husband's bones, the care method used was to cover the whole body with ice cubes, and this idea was still mine." I learned from the person of one of the greatest men and great men of our country. ”
Of course, I know how the great man she spoke of protected his body.
I paused, and then said: "But I thought about it carefully just now, the situation of the old lady and the great man in our country seems to be completely different, the old lady is buried in a dark tomb, and the tomb should be completely closed, in terms of the temperature inside, it is definitely above zero, and the ice cubes will melt 100% if they are placed inside." ”
The old lady coughed, "Yes, but please imagine what would happen if there was a large machine in the grave that refrigerated like a household refrigerator?" ”
I couldn't help but take a breath, took a step back, and said, "If there is a refrigeration device like a large refrigerator, and a large amount of water is wrapped in a bag and put into a large refrigerator, then of course the water in the bag can be quickly converted into ice, and if all the water in the tomb has been frozen for a long time, the whole tomb will be a frozen cold storage." Then, after a large amount of ice is generated, if you put the corpse in a large refrigerator, the corpse will not rot at all, so that the corpse will indeed be exactly the same as before death. ”
I calmed down, and then I regained my composure, and I sighed, "But no one is stupid enough to put a refrigerator in the grave, you must know that the refrigerator must be powered on before it can operate, and if it is in the completely enclosed environment of the tomb, how can it generate electricity?" Even if it's ......"
