Chapter 81: Childbirth After Death
Legend has it that the ghost mother's yin fetus is very fierce and vicious, and every night the yin ghost flies out of the corpse, cutting people's hearts, digging people's gall and feeding on the yin fetus, and the living will definitely die when they see it.
Lu Yuanzhi was born with big nerves, and the four daughters of A, B, C, and D were stupid, but they remembered the evil and terrible evil of the ghost mother and the yin fetus in folklore, and they couldn't help but knock their upper and lower teeth, and their bodies trembled.
The night sky was as dark as ink, and only the light of the torches flickered and dimmed, and the dancing firelight reflected the figures and shadows of the trees back and forth, twisting and dancing, like a demon showing its teeth and claws, looking for an opportunity to choose people to devour.
A gust of evening wind blew, just like a yin wind hit, everyone shivered violently, panicked and looked around, as if the evil and bloody ghost mother Yin was hidden in the darkness, about to ride the wind to swoop, hooking the soul.
"Brother Qin, Brother Qin...... Why do I feel so cold? Lu Yuanzhi's voice was fluttering, and his fat face was white and miserable.
The four girls of A, B, C, and D hugged together: "It's true, it's true, it's really cold~~"
Suddenly, there was a clicking sound in the dark bushes behind him, which seemed very clear and strange in this silent night.
A, B, C, and Ding blew up the nest, and "Mom" screamed and scurried around without a head or a tail.
"What's wrong with you?" Qingdai inexplicably walked out from behind the bushes, it turned out that she didn't dare to look at the dead body, when she opened the coffin, she had been hiding in the distance, and found that the movement here was not right, so she came over to take a look, and inadvertently stepped on the dead branches, and the sound became the last straw that crushed the camel, and scared everyone to blow up the nest.
Huh~ Female soldiers B and C came out of the grass respectively, and their heads were covered with dead leaves and dry grass.
The chubby Lu Yuanzhi was holding a big tree in his left hand, and he was holding something in his right hand, which was still struggling.
The shy and angry cry of the female soldier came from the tree: "Let go, dead fat man, you can't climb the tree, what are you doing with me?" ”
It turned out that the fat man followed and scurried, and when he saw the female soldier A slipping up the tree, he couldn't climb up after a few attempts, so he grabbed one of the female soldier's feet in a hurry.
Seeing Qing Dai coming out from behind the bushes, the fat man hurriedly let go of his hand with a smile, and kept wiping the cold sweat on his head with his sleeve: "Yuan, it turned out to be a little junior sister." ”
"Dead fatty, I'm going to kill you!" The female soldier chased Lu Yuanzhi and flattened wildly.
Yay, what about Ding? B and C looked for this little sister everywhere.
But seeing that Qin Lin on the side of the coffin seemed to have gained a lot of weight, he looked closely and saw that Xiao Ding was hanging on him like a koala, his eyes were closed, his body was shaking like chaff, and his mouth kept shouting: "Help, Miss Guo, don't catch Xiao Ding, when Xiao Ding gets off the mountain, I will buy a lot of osmanthus sugar chestnut cakes for you...... Don't let go? I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll beat you to death! ”
Qin Lin's nephrite was warm and fragrant in his arms, Xiao Ding's soft delicate body rubbed in his arms, this little confused still closed his eyes and kept reaching out to scratch and pinch, Qin Lin had to scratch his scalp with a helpless face: "Girl, it seems that you hit the wrong person, right?" ”
Hearing Qin Lin's voice, Xiao Ding opened her eyes and found that she was hanging on Qin Lin's body, her face was red with shame, and she quickly let go of her hand and jumped down.
Feeling everyone's strange gaze, Xiao Ding snorted for a long time: "I, I'm not afraid, I'm protecting Gongzi Qin...... Ahh I'll fight! She swung her sword twice, and smirked, "Just beat the ghost away." ”
The three daughters of A, B and C had nothing to say to this confused sister, so they quickly covered her mouth and dragged her to the side to teach her a slow lesson: "Stupid, it's a shame to lose your hair!" ”
Qing Dai smiled and straightened Qin Lin's hair that was scratched by Xiao Ding, and her white jade fingertips gently swept over her skin, full of comfort.
Qing Dai doesn't often do this kind of action, Qin Lin has a ghost in his heart, and laughs dryly: "Just now, I didn't move." ”
"You guy," the girl's big eyes bent and she smiled narrowly, "It's not too much to take advantage of people." ”
Wronged! Qin Lin shouted and hit the sky.
"By the way, I seem to have heard what you guys are calling ghost mothers just now, what the hell is going on?" Qing Dai said that she was going to see the body in the coffin.
Qin Lin hurriedly covered her eyes, "Don't look!" ”
"If you don't look at it, you won't see it, isn't it so strange?" Qing Dai pouted and walked away, Fang secretly rejoiced in Qin Lin's loving actions, just looking at Lu Yuanzhi and the four female soldiers, these bold guys were scared like that, thinking that the scene in the coffin must be very terrifying.
Qin Lin once again turned his gaze to the coffin, of course he knew that this was not some ghost mother's yin fetus.
In the hot and humid weather like Qizhou, bacteria and other microorganisms multiply very quickly, and there are a large number of bacteria in the human intestines and other places before death, and after death, they lose the physiological regulation function of the living, and the flora will multiply rapidly in geometric multiples, and the corpse tissue will quickly decompose and decay, producing dirty gas, causing the corpse to swell and foam.
At this time, the abdominal pressure of the corpse will rise sharply, and if the fetus is already pregnant before death, it will be "squeezed" out of the birth canal under the action of increased abdominal pressure, forming a strange phenomenon of post-mortem delivery - in extreme cases, such as the corpse is not buried during the war, exposed to the sun, and even the abdomen will expand sharply, and then explode The terrible scene will occur.
The phenomenon of posthumous childbirth itself, Qin Lin is not ready to use it for case detection, because it is just an ordinary natural phenomenon, but the month of the fetus is more interesting to him, the four-month-old fetus, counting the half month since the death of Meimei, four and a half months ago, Meimei has not been transferred to Zhu Youfan's side, and this article alone can clear him of the crime of Zihao's father and concubine and corrupting morality, and keep his position as the son of the world.
But Qin Lin was not satisfied with clearing Zhu Youfan's name, he also wanted to take advantage of the situation to accomplish some of his goals, and this case was an excellent opportunity.
Just now, the fat man and the four female soldiers were all frightened, and kept saying that this was the ghost mother's yin fetus, Qin Lin's heart suddenly flashed, and he sneered: "I thought that time had passed and I couldn't find evidence, but I didn't expect God to help me!" ”
Qin Lin stood next to the coffin and sneered "gloomily", and the fat man Lu who came over with the four female soldiers who had calmed down suddenly felt a chill in his vest, and asked Qin Lin with a smile what he had to do.
Qin Lin explained the truth of childbirth after death, fortunately, the phenomenon of corpse decay and swelling after death is very common, and it is easy to understand that the swollen internal organs squeeze out the fetus, and everyone understands as soon as he says it.
"It turns out that it's not the ghost mother's yin fetus, look at what scares us," the female soldier patted her towering chest, and her heart palpitated.
The fat man saw that his eyes were straight when he saw it, and his saliva was about to trickle down the ground.
"Look at it, look at the!" The female soldier reached out and grabbed the fat man's ear: "The account just now hasn't been settled!" ”
Qin Lin stopped the two of them with a smile and told them not to spread the news of childbirth after death for the time being, especially Lu Fatzi to keep his mouth shut.
Lu Yuanzhi broke free of the female soldier's armor, held his chubby belly, and said majestically: "Brother Qin, don't worry, even if it is the eighteen tortures of Beizhen Fusi, I won't miss half a word, and I won't say anything if I am killed!" ”
Qin Lin said with a smile: "What about the ears?" ”
Rao is Lu Fat Man's face is full of flesh and thick skin, and he can't help but be a little red now, even if the female soldier is a man's wife, he can't help but slightly reveal the cowardice of his children.
Qin Lin smiled and asked them to cover the coffin as it is, bury it again, pay attention when filling the soil, and try not to leave traces of the coffin.
Fortunately, this tomb was originally buried, and even if new soil was turned out on it, it would not be strange, and the difficulty of this work was not great.
The four women were afraid of demons and monsters, and were not afraid of ordinary dead people, and the four of them worked together to cooperate with the tacit understanding, and after a while, they put the coffin into the tomb, re-filled the soil and buried it, and tidied it up on the ground, so that there was no trace of opening.
Guo's mother has been squatting on the other side of the hillside, and she doesn't know what is going on here, Qin Lin asked her to keep it secret and not to tell this matter, Guo's mother has received twenty-five taels of silver from Qin Lin, and then she has to take care of her own face, so she hurriedly promised not to tell others.
That night, I stayed at Uncle Qingdai's house for one night, and the next morning, it was four boats, and the bamboo boat went down the river like a flying arrow, and in a blink of an eye it arrived at the small wharf outside the city of Qizhou.
Qin Lin sent the rest of the people back to the medical hall first, and he walked alone to the west gate of King Jing's mansion, and sure enough, as agreed in advance, there was a yellow-skinned little eunuch sitting in the gatehouse, who was listless, and his eyes lit up when he saw Qin Lin.
Qin Lin stretched out one with his left hand, and the little eunuch nodded, and walked into the palace quickly, Qin Lin went to the teahouse across the street by himself, and found a compartment on the second floor to sit down.
It didn't take long for Zhang Xiaoyang to come over in his servant clothes, his expression was both uneasy and full of hope, he kowtowed to Qin Lin as soon as he closed the door, stood up and said, "Ask Qin Gongzi for my master, is that matter an eyebrow?" ”
Just to get Zhu Youfan out of charge and escape from the predicament of being degraded to a concubine, with the current evidence, it can be done - the month of the fetus and the time when the eyebrows are transferred to Zhu Youfan's side do not coincide.
Zhu Youfan only needs this kind of result to be enough, but Qin Lin is not satisfied, he wants to use this case to peel off the cocoon and then achieve his goal.
So he shook his head and told Zhang Xiaoyang: "I already have some eyebrows, but there is still some evidence to thoroughly investigate the case and clear the name of your master." ”
Zhang Xiaoyang can't talk about disappointment or joy, although the case has not been solved, he has eyebrows, and he can finally comfort Zhu Youfan.
Qin Lin said again: "Meimei once went home to save his relatives, who arranged it?" A maid should be accompanied by a eunuch or a lieutenant when she goes home? ”
"If you go back to your son, there will be no eunuchs and captains to escort ordinary maids when they go home to save their relatives," Zhang Xiaoyang recalled for a while, and then said affirmatively: "I remember that Concubine Huang ordered the Chengfeng Division to send out two people and the Honor Guard Division to produce four people. ”
Qin Lin sent Zhang Xiaoyang away, slowly sipping tea, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth - he had already got the answer he wanted.
