Medical School Chapter 8.Haunted by ghosts

Yan Xing tried to find something around the pile of white bones that could prove the identity of the deceased, I saw that there was a stone half the size of a human head on the side of the white bones, and I didn't know what it was for.

Between 30 minutes and 2 hours after death, the person will begin to harden, and the whole body will be cold due to the phenomenon of corpse cold, and the corpse stiffness will extend from the face to the bottom little by little, and the whole body will be clearly stiffened in about 9 to 12 hours.

Blood in the human body will be deposited in the lower parts of the body in the direction of gravity due to the cessation of circulation, resulting in corpse spots. If the freshly formed corpse spot is acupressured, the position will change, but if it has been more than 12 hours since death, the corpse spot will not change its position. Because by this time the blood has completely coagulated.

After 30 hours after death, the corpse will begin to soften, and the abdomen, which is the part of the body with the most bacteria and fat, will be the first to soften and decay.

The putrefactive bacteria in the stomach and intestines produce a lot of gases, the hemoglobin in the blood will begin to form sulfides, the corpses can be seen to swell significantly, and the skin of the body will begin to take on orange or yellow, and these putrefactive gases will begin to attract flies to lay eggs and maggots or other organisms that eat putrid matter.

Maggots, on the other hand, usually enter the body from the head, eyes, nostrils, and mouth to eat. About 5-6 days after death, the corpse has accumulated metabolites inside after being eaten by maggots, and corpse bubbles gradually begin to appear on the surface of the skin, and some directly ooze black corpse water.

At this point, the skin separates from the muscles, and if you use a little more force, the entire skin will be removed, and the hair will also fall out. A week after death, the corpse enters the final biological removal phase, the length of which varies depending on the climate, humidity, and maggot infestation at the location of the corpse.

Generally speaking, the high temperature and humidity in summer will accelerate the decomposition of the corpse, and only one white bone will be left in about 1 month; In spring and autumn, it takes about a month and a half for the corpse to turn into white bones; Winter takes longer, and it takes at least 2 months for corpses to turn to bones.

Just as Yan Xing and I were thinking about the identity of this white bone, some black-brown dust-like things on the stone caught my attention, it seemed that a piece of blood had coagulated for a long time, "Old Yan, do you think this corpse was stoned to death and thrown into this well?" I asked Yan Xingdao.

"Possibly, I see a depression in the skull, I think I have been hit with a blunt object, but because there is only one white bone, I can't see anything." "There seems to be dried blood on this stone, someone should have killed it with this stone and then dropped it, but there is something wrong with this white bone, it seems that there is a child's skull in it." I said, pointing to a small skull.

Yan Xing's face changed dramatically after looking at it, and he sighed: "I'm afraid that a pregnant woman was killed, it is estimated that the child has already been formed, and it must be a great resentment to die in this dry well." As if hearing what Yan Xing said, the finger bones of the white bone actually moved, and the air under the well seemed to be frozen.

"Oh no, something is going to happen to this white bone!" I hurriedly pinched a righteous decision in my hand, ready to hit Bai Gu's body as soon as possible if there was a slight accident, just when the two of us were nervously looking at Bai Gu, a mouse with black hair flew out from under the finger bones, and disappeared after rubbing, "I said Sanqing, you are really small enough, a mouse scared you like this." Yan Xing smiled and mocked me when he saw it.

I ignored him, because I was the only one who saw the resentment floating on the bones, and this resentment was not there when we first saw it, "Don't laugh, I said this thing is weird, it's better to be careful." ”

"What are you afraid of, a bunch of white bones can still turn the sky upside down, let's see how to go up first." Yan Xing didn't pay attention to my words, and instead began to study how to climb up from here, after all, if we couldn't go up, both of us would be trapped here, either starving to death or freezing to death.

I ignored Yan Xing, my eyes stared at the white bones on the ground, for fear that there would be any changes in it, Yan Xing found that there were some reliefs carved on the wall of the well, as if a dragon was soaring up from the bottom of the well, he tried it, and found that he could climb up along the dragon's tail.

"Lao Yan, be careful, I always feel that something big is going to happen!" I shouted at Yan Xing, "Hehe, what are you afraid of, when I climb up in a while, I'll find a way to pull you up!" Yan Xing said with a big grin, without the slightest worry, in his opinion, the white bones on the ground were just a pile of dead things, and there was no threat at all.

Suddenly, I saw the resentment on the white bones suddenly gathered together and rushed towards Yan Xing, I raised my right hand, and the righteousness in my hand suddenly hit the resentment, at the same time, I grabbed a handful of pine needles with my left hand and scattered them, and the pine needles turned into a puff of white smoke as soon as they touched the resentment.

However, because the resentment is too strong, the righteous qi can not completely dispel the resentment, Yan Xing is climbing hard at this time, completely unaware that the danger is approaching him, I saw that the righteous qi and pine needles can not stop this resentment, so I jumped and stopped the resentment before the resentment approached Yan Xing, and the resentment poured into my body, and suddenly I felt a tingling of my scalp.

I fell to the ground in pain, "Die with me!" Die with me! A terrible woman's voice sounded in my head, I felt as if my head was about to explode, this resentment was difficult to deal with, I quickly ran the righteous qi in my body to fight against this resentment.

"You might as well tell me your grievances, there is a debtor and a debtor, you are not harmed by me, why do you want to harm me." A wave of righteousness suddenly wandered in my body, "Who are you?" You can actually fight me. The poignant voice remembered again, "The immortal is also the person who can help you, you were stoned to death and thrown into the well while you were pregnant with a child, and you were wronged so you turned into this terrible ghost, I don't know if the tragic death of the whole village is also related to you?" I asked the spirit.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a profession called the Crossing Immortals, who could use special means to dispose of corpses to make the dead soar into immortals, and my ancestors were the Crossing Immortals.

"Hmph, in Hejia Village, everyone has to die, everyone deserves to die, if you kill my child, you have to bury my child! You're going to have to die for me, too! The voice of the resentful spirit became sharper, and the righteous qi running in the body was also stagnant, and suddenly a strange force grabbed my neck and lifted me up in the air, the instant suffocation made me almost lose my mind, and my hands could not use the strength, a sense of fear of death came to me, I secretly screamed in my heart, and wanted to call Yan Xing to help me, but I couldn't say a word.
