Chapter 579: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
So Chu Xintian knew what Fang looked like when she was buried, and she was very sad as a daughter. She took off the small bracelet she had made for her and tied it around her mother's wrist.
If it weren't for that bracelet, it wouldn't be worth much. Otherwise, Chu Huaiyuan would not let Chu Xintian tie it to Fang's wrist.
Fang's tomb has no burial goods at all, how can it attract the patronage of tomb robbers?
Chu Xintian couldn't understand this at all.
However, Ah Lu also quickly gave Chu Xintian an answer, which made Chu Xintian suddenly realize.
"This man is no ordinary grave robber. He stole not funeral goods, not money, but corpses......"
Ah Lu said this, paused, and then said, "To be exact, what he stole is usually a female corpse......"
Chu Xintian listened to Ah Lu's words and immediately understood Hou San's intentions.
People of this era are very superstitious. Many people believe that people go to hell when they die, and that they live the same life as people in this world in another world.
In this era, the level of medical care is very limited, and the average life expectancy of humans is very short. Many people die before they are in their 20s or 20s. As a result, many very young people die without getting married.
The length of a person's lifespan has nothing to do with wealth or poverty. Even the wealthy often die young.
Generally, if a poor person dies, they are buried in the grass. If the son of a rich family dies before getting married, the parents will also find a way to let the dead son**.
The so-called ** is to find an unmarried woman of the same age as yourself, hold a ceremony similar to marriage, and bury the two people together, which is the so-called**.
It's a very pedantic and superstitious thing to do, and it's a very strange thing. Two strangers who had never known each other would be buried in the same grave after their death, that is, when they lost consciousness.
In fact, the dead have no emotions and souls. These things are just the behavior of living family members and elders with their own thoughts, which can be called stupid.
Chu Xintian had heard about this before. Of course, she didn't agree with this kind of thing, but Chu Xintian could understand it. She knew that the people of this era had a ghost belief, and the power of this folk belief was very powerful. Even thousands of years later, in modern civilization, this kind of thing often happens.
With the advent of **, tomb robbers like Hou San appeared.
In this day and age, people are not cremated before being buried. Hou San is a tomb robber who specializes in stealing female corpses, and he will secretly dig up the female corpses a few hours after they are buried in the ground, and then sell them to large families who need **.
This kind of grave robber is more hateful than someone who digs up someone else's ancestral grave and steals money!
But Chu Xintian didn't understand. Why did Hou San dig Fang's tomb?
Generally speaking, ** is a woman who has died before she is a minor and has not yet been married, but Fang is a woman who has already married. According to the facts, no one will use it for **, because superstitious people will believe in this kind of marriage, and when they reach Hades, they will also suffer lawsuits.
Ah Lu has been interrogating Hou San for a long time. He naturally answered Chu Xintian's question.
It turned out that when the Fang family died, one of the sons of the Cao family also died. He was 19 years old at the time and had not yet married. The Cao family wants to find a woman of the same age to match**.
The time and place of the match are also important. There are deaths every day in this county. Unfortunately, when Cao Gongzi died, no unmarried girl of the same age died.
So some of them are worthy of **. I found Hou San. Let Hou San help him think of a way.
Hou San is a gravedigger, so he naturally has no conscience. Seeing that the Cao family had a large amount of money, he wanted to see whose little daughter-in-law had died, and he happened to be eyeing the Fang family.
At that time, Fang was only in his early twenties. She is very beautiful. Although she has two children, her body and appearance have not changed. She is a famous beauty in this county.
