The Tujia family, an obscure ethnic minority, is mainly distributed in Hunan, Hubei and Guizhou.

About this nation, the most well-known may be the legendary corpse chaser, it seems that whether it is a novel or a film or television work, the corpse chaser is inseparable from the Tujia family.

My name is He Zimu, and I am also a Tujia family, and until I was twenty-three years old, I always thought that I would live this ordinary life in a mess.

However, the appearance of a woman not only completely disrupted my life, but also let me know the unknown and magnificent history of the Tujia family.

All of this starts with my grandfather Li Shoude:

In 1983, located in Linfeng Farm, Wuling County, northwest Hunan Province, there was a homicide, because of a little quarrel, a woman and her own object killed the other party's family of four, and the neighbor was found on the day of the incident, and the neighbor immediately called the police.

Because they were discovered in time, the two murderers were quickly caught.

The case was clear and straightforward, so in less than a month, the results of the trial were handed down, and the two were sentenced to death and immediately executed.

The two were executed outside a hill on Lin Feng's farm, and the woman's body was taken away by her family, while the man's body was buried by the farm government because he had no relatives.

The man was buried next to a stream only a few meters away from Xiaoshanbao, and this matter was already over, but who knew that it was known by Li Shoude, who was dozens of miles away······

Li Shoude is a local, in his forties, and his family lives in the Third Brigade, more than 40 miles away from the stream.

I don't know where I heard the news, after the man was buried, he broke into the field alone, pulled the field leader and made a big fuss, saying that the leader was confused, and he didn't discuss the people there, and said that the leader had a big disaster and had to dig people out quickly.

If it hadn't been for the brigade secretary coming later, Li Shoude would have scolded him on the spot!

Naturally, the leaders of the field department will not care about him, Li Shoude believes in superstition, which is a well-known thing, and in addition, he has nothing to do with it, he is a farmer who does his duty.

Li Shouye, the secretary of the brigade, finally pulled Li Shoude back from the field department, pressed him on the chair of the team headquarters, and said angrily:

"Brother, this is the time when the farm is busy, I am tired enough, can you stop causing me trouble?"

Li Shouye Li Shoude is a cousin, Shouye's father is the second in their family, his uncle, that is, Shoude's father is the eldest, and they also have a sister who is married far away, Shouye Shoude calls her "Yaya", that is, an aunt.

"Shouye, you also think I'm fooling? Have you forgotten the name of that place? Li Shoude was very dissatisfied with Li Shouye's attitude.

"Name! Isn't it Hongqi Bay? What's wrong? Li Shouye took two large porcelain jars and got up nonchalantly to pour tea.

"Now it's called Hongqi Bay, what about the past? It used to be called Robbers' Bay! Robber's Bay is already very angry, and that person is a murderer, and something will happen if he is buried there! Seeing Li Shouye's indifferent look, Li Shoude was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Brother!"

Li Shouye was very reluctant to hear these words of the gods, and put the porcelain jar in his hand heavily in front of Li Shoude:

"Now that the whole country is playing a game of chess, grasping the economy and engaging in production, breaking down superstition, and emancipating the mind, why do you still like to ponder these things that are not in the sky? That person is dead, and the field is kind enough to find a place to be buried, what can happen?! ”

Li Shoude was stunned for a moment and sighed heavily.

Li Shoude followed his father to the north and south in his early years, learned a few words, and also learned a belly of gossip feng shui, I thought that this life would point to this little ability to eat, where do you know that when you encounter such a year, the neighbors want to believe it or not, and the brothers treat him as a joke.

After thinking about it, Li Shoude slapped his ass and stood up.

"Why are you going?"

Li Shouye hurriedly stopped, he was afraid that this cousin who was out of tune would go to make a big fuss in the leader's office again.

"What else can you do? Go back! You leaders are not afraid of accidents, why am I a small ordinary person still worried? ”

Li Shouye was overjoyed after listening:

"Hey, you're right, the sky is falling, and there's someone taller than you, so don't worry about it."

With that, Li Shouye got out of the way.

After Li Shoude returned home, he didn't go to work in the field, and after eating the lunch left by his daughter, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep until his wife and daughter came back from the field.

In the evening, Li Shoude waited until his wife was snoring, and then he got up, he rubbed a few rice balls from the pot, and then went out with a broken shovel, he planned to dig out the man himself.

Li Shoude walked for more than 40 miles for more than three hours, and when he was about to arrive, he stopped.

It's early summer, and as long as it's not raining, there's always a moon hanging in the sky, so Li Shoude went smoothly along the way.

Bandit Bay, which is now Hongqi Bay, is actually a mountain col, in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, people built a road around the mountain pass, and a deep mountain bay was formed.

There is a mountain stream in the mountain bay through the road, and later, someone raised the roadbed and made a culvert under the road, and this mountain stream was called Dongergou.

Because there is a stream flowing down the mountain stream all the year round, when the farm was first built, in order to solve the local drinking water problem, the field leaders led everyone to fence the source of the stream, forming a reservoir with an area of more than ten acres.

In the first few years of the completion of the reservoir, it was washed away by heavy rain several times, and a few people died during the rescue, and these people were reported as heroic deeds in the field, and by the way, the name of this place was changed to Hongqi Bay.

After resting for a while, Li Shoude nibbled on another rice ball, and then walked into the mountain bay.

There is a dirt road next to Hongqi Bay, which was built when the reservoir was built, and if you walk up more than two miles along the dirt road, you can see the small hill bag where the person was shot.

The terrain in the mountain bay is special, the sun does not shine all year round, and it is often shrouded by the rising mist, let alone at night, even if you pass by here in the middle of the day, you can't help but shiver.

Li Shoude bent his waist, his whole body was tense, although he was fully prepared, but walking alone in the miserable white moonlight, Li Shoude's back vest was still cold.

It didn't take long for Li Shoude to see the hill, and he dared to look at the hill for a moment, and then went down to the stream to find the murderer's new grave.

Although he was scared to death before, but when he saw the grave at this time, Li Shoude was not so afraid, he bowed three times to the grave, and said a few words of nonsense such as what disturbed him, he had to be forced to do so, you should take care of it a little more, and then took the shovel and planned to dig the grave.

Just as Li Shoude was about to break ground, he suddenly saw his shadow under the moon, slowly changing, and then, his eyes darkened······
