Immortal Mountain Ruins Chapter 1 Transporting Corpses
Whether there are ghosts in the world or not has been debated since ancient times. The theory of ghosts and gods exists not only among the common people, but also among the great sages who have made the scriptures. Even Confucius once said that "worship ghosts and gods and stay away", "if you can't help people, you can do ghosts", "Zi is silent, strange and chaotic", and Mozi, the representative of the Mo family, expounded the existence of ghosts and gods in the article "Ming Ghosts". Some people say that the theory of ghosts and gods is really ethereal, and no one can prove that there are ghosts in this world. Having said that, but the other way around, no one can prove that there are no ghosts in this world. Therefore, whether there are ghosts or not is really a matter of the benevolent and the wise.
The existence of ghosts is unknown, just like many mysterious things or places in this world, which have never been known to everyone. Those unknown things are full of all kinds of temptations, like blooming flowers waiting for the bees to come. But you don't know which of the flowers here is poisonous, which one has thorns, and which one will lead you into the endless abyss...... However, even so, there will always be some people who are driven by desire to dissuade themselves and sail desperately to these unknowns in a greedy boat in order to touch them, understand them, and even ...... Take possession of them. These people kept chasing after each other, as if they had completely forgotten that there was such a saying that curiosity kills cats......
It all started with my father's grandfather.
My father's grandfather was my great-grandfather, and I call him grandpa. I have never seen him in person, but I have seen him in an old yellowed photograph of him in a shabby padded jacket, hunched as if he could never stand up straight; The wrinkles on his face made him look like a sixty-year-old man, but my father told me that he was not yet in his prime......
In 1898, Taiye was born in a county town in Zhili (present-day Hebei Province). My family name is Pei, my ancestor is also my grandfather's father, and my grandfather's name is Pei Er. He felt that he had bad luck in his life, so he had been in a state of confusion and poverty all his life, so he thought that the master could change the fate of the Pei family, so he named the master Pei Yun.
Due to Pei Yun's poor family, he has not read much since he was a child, and his grandfather and grandmother died early and were unsupervised, so he often messed with some ruffians and hooligans when he was young, and even at the age of twenty, he still had nothing.
In 1918, the people were still living in dire straits. In order to save his life in the troubled times, Pei Yun, who had no skills, followed a few people and began to do smuggling business. They did nothing but smuggle tobacco, and in those days, the price of tobacco was as high as gold. If it is really successful, then the profits from smuggling tobacco can make several people live without food and clothing for several years, you say, how can Pei Yun resist such a temptation.
Pei Yun's smuggling team has a total of five people, all of whom are partners, but they are divided into big bosses and second bosses according to the amount of capital contribution. Pei Yun didn't have much money in his hand when he joined the house, so in order to make a lot of money, he sold his ancestral mansion in exchange for a hundred Guangyang, and became the smallest shareholder among the five. It is because of the least amount of money that he has the least right to speak among the five people, and he runs errands to do all the chores and small things, so the other four people call him back and forth without any respect.
At that time, tobacco smuggling was only carried with people at first, and later it was tied to mules and horses and other livestock. As the inventory on the road became stricter and stricter, the way of transportation gradually changed, and the props used were even more strange, such as wood, bamboo poles, coffins, and all kinds of materials. Of course, it is the safest thing for tobacco to be hidden in the coffin, and Pei Yun and they use this form, after all, this kind of obscure thing is still very concerned by the Chinese, and few people will go to check it. But......
"Where did it come from?" A soldier with a gun asked, blocking the road.
"Qinghe!" The big boss said politely.
"Where are you going?"
"Old Garden!"
"So far?" The soldier frowned and said, "It's so hot again, and people don't stink when they get there?" ”
The big boss smiled and said: "No way, there are regulations on the ancestors, and when a person dies, he must enter the ancestral grave." ”
"Who died?" The soldier asked haughtily.
The big boss hurriedly pulled Pei Yun over and said, "It's his daughter-in-law!" ”
Pei Yun immediately understood, and immediately pretended to be grief-stricken. At this time, the big boss hurriedly pulled the soldier aside, quietly stuffed him with two pieces of silver and said, "Time really can't be delayed, sir." If you take it slowly, it's going to stink as you say. ”
The soldier shook Yuan Datou in his hand, looked left and right, and said angrily: "We have four brothers, you only give two pieces, how can you divide them?" ”
The big boss hurriedly made up three more pieces, and said with a smile: "You are accommodating and accommodating, and you are tired to buy a pot of wine for your brothers." ”
The GI smiled with satisfaction, then turned around and waved his hand, "Let it go!" ”
The big boss hurriedly beckoned the other four to hurry the car and leave. But at this moment, another person came, wearing an officer's uniform, with a gloomy face. When the soldier saw it, he immediately stood up and saluted, and said, "Sir! ”
"What's going on?" The officer asked, pointing to the coffin.
The big shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "My brother and daughter-in-law died of a violent illness, and now I want to transport the body back to my hometown, so I ask the chief to make it convenient!" ”
The GI also came over to help and said, "Sir, they did pull the corpse." ”
"Open!" The officer said coldly.
The big shopkeeper exclaimed: "Hit ...... Open it? ”
