Whether there is anything in Liu Daqiang's stomach is still uncertain, this is the first, and the second, even if there is anything, whether this method of seeing the fetus can play a role is still unknown.

My grandfather can't say that he doesn't know what to do at this time, he just can't guess what will happen after doing the spell.

At this time, because a few old people were looking for items for my grandfather to do things, many people in Liu Zhuang rushed to listen to the news, most of them were people from our Liu family, and most of them were lively, men and women, old and young, crowded a room.

My grandfather had no distractions at this time, and after smearing sesame oil and well water on the corpse, he gently blew on the belly of the corpse, and after this breath, the colorful color of the oil and water immediately changed, but it was not green, nor red, but pure black, black like ink, resulting in the corpse's palm-sized place, which looked like a bottomless pit that could not be seen at a glance, and there seemed to be black fog rolling and entanglement in the "hole", as if opening the door of a netherworld.

Seeing this, my grandfather gasped, he dared to conclude at this time that there was really something evil in Liu Daqiang's stomach!

Subsequently, my grandfather poured the water in the water scoop on Liu Daqiang's lower abdomen, and asked people to find a wiping cloth to wipe the oil and water on it.

At this time, the people in the room who were watching turned their eyes to my grandfather, all curious.

My grandfather sighed and said to a few old men: "This big strong brother really has something in his stomach, and he must cut his belly open." ”

When several old people heard this, their faces all changed, each one was uglier than the other, and these people in the room began to talk in a whisper, saying everything.

At this time, the chubby old man raised his voice, deliberately suppressed the nonsense of those people, and said to my grandfather: "I said eldest nephew, we believe what you say, that is...... That is, do you have any other way, at least, for the sake of our family, don't cut your belly, leave a complete one, right? ”

As soon as the fat old man said this, several other old men also echoed him, and their meaning was the same as that of the fat old man, they didn't want to see Liu Daqiang die and disembowel. The dead have lost their dignity, and the living have lost their faces, especially the old people in the family, who value their dignity more than themselves.

My grandfather shook his head, looking very helpless, "When I was a child, my father taught me these things, I didn't study them well, uncles, I really can't think of any other good way at this time, that is, if we don't cut Brother Daqiang's belly now, in the future, when the thing in his stomach becomes a climate, that thing will still bite his stomach out of a big hole." ”

As soon as my grandfather's words came out, not only a few old people, but also the whole room fell silent.

After a long while, the tall and thin old man spoke, "Medium, cut it, it's better than becoming a goblin in the future." "It is estimated that this tall and thin old man is taller than the other old men, and his words are very weighty.

The fat old man glanced at the thin and tall old man and said, "Since the old brother is talking, then we have nothing to say, but this is ...... Who are we looking for to cut this? As he spoke, the fat old man looked at the people in the room, and whoever the fat old man saw with his eyes hurriedly lowered his head, and no one dared to look at the fat old man. Even the king grass carp, who is usually a little hairy, wilted at this time and hid in the crowd without squeaking.

Seeing this, the tall and thin old man spoke again, "Forget it, let's find my nephew, he is the best person in our county government, this kind of thing, it is most suitable to find him." When the tall and thin old man said this, everyone nodded yes. Finding the county government to come over not only can dissect the corpse, but also have one advantage, that is, it is justified, and there is no need to bear the charge of desecrating the corpse.

The thin and tall old man let his son put on the carriage and went to the county seat to find his nephew in person, and the thin and tall old man arrived at the county office, how to tell his nephew who was a servant, my grandfather didn't know, anyway, when the sky was about to get dark, the county government of Yanjin County came.

This is in his forties and less than fifty years old, my grandfather heard that his family has practiced medicine for generations, but in his generation, although he has learned all the medical skills passed down from his ancestors, he has not done the business of hanging pots to help the world, and has instead eaten official meals.

There were two people around him, one of them, dressed as a headcatcher, and he was less than fifty years old, with a full beard and a shiny eye, and he looked very energetic. The other, dressed as a junior, was less than twenty years old, and looked like an apprentice or an acolyte.

At this time, the people who watched the excitement in the house before had basically gone home, and there were only a few old men and my grandfather left in the house, and of course, Liu Daqiang's flowery little daughter-in-law.

The boat boss who brought my grandfather and them to Liu Daqiang's house didn't stay long before leaving.

After he put the oilskin roll on the ground and opened it, it was full of bright knives, some big and small, and some strange shapes, hooks and thorns, and then ordered everyone to take off all Liu Daqiang's clothes, and told everyone to avoid it, which was going to use knives.

At this time, Liu Daqiang's fancy little daughter-in-law was not happy, she did not agree to dissect Liu Daqiang's body in her home, which was also scary and unlucky.

In the end, there was no way, a short old man said that their family had a stone mill, and no one lived in it, and it had been empty for many years, so it was better to carry it there.

Everyone carried Liu Daqiang's body to the stone mill, which was not big, although it had been idle for many years, it was neat.

He left only the head catcher and the apprentice with him, leaving the others to wait outside the mill.

The crowd waited outside for half an hour, and when the blood from their hands came out of it, they hurriedly gathered around and asked.

He didn't speak, but pointed behind him, and then he saw the headcatcher come out of the mill, and in his hand, the big head was carrying a strange thing, which looked like a big gecko, more than two feet long, with a flat body, and short limbs, because his body was covered with dirty blood and body fluids, and it looked slimy, as if covered with countless layers of spider webs.

My grandfather and a few of them endured the nausea and took a closer look, this thing turned out to be exactly the same as the river monster in their village, but it was much smaller, and its eyes were closed, as if it was dead.

He said unexpectedly, he saw this thing when he was young, and there was this thing in the Qinglong Pond of Laojun Mountain in Luanchuan County in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, because the cry was clear, like a baby's cry, the locals called it "baby fish", and some people called it "four-legged fish", it is a ferocious aquatic animal, feeding on fish, shrimp, birds and birds, and living in mountain streams all year round.

The baby fish, whose scientific name is giant salamander, looks like a big gecko, I believe you have all heard of it, so I won't introduce it too much here.

He said that the baby fish in Liu Daqiang's stomach was laid eggs in the stomach of the adult female baby fish after Liu Daqiang drowned, and after the fry broke the shell, they relied on the internal organs in Liu Daqiang's stomach to live, and when the fry grew to a certain extent, it would burst out of the belly.

However, what makes him strange is that as far as he knows, the eggs of the salamander are generally laid in the stone caves of mountain streams, and the female salamander is responsible for spawning, and the male salamander is responsible for raising it, and he has never heard of fish eggs being laid in the stomach of a dead man.

My grandfather thought about it at this time and explained, "Ordinary baby fish will not, but it is not necessary to become a female baby fish, I heard my father say, people are the spirit of all things, many beasts who have become essence, the purpose of cultivation is to become a human, in my opinion, those beasts give birth to their cubs in the belly of the dead, but also hope that they can become people, there is nothing to make a fuss about." ”

When they heard this, they looked at each other. At this time, the head catcher carrying the baby fish threw the dead baby fish to the ground, took out a piece of Juanpa, wiped his hands, and asked my grandfather, "This little brother knows a lot, dare to ask who Ling Zun is?" ”

Without waiting for my grandfather to answer, the fat old man next to him said, "This is the son of my brother Liu Yi." ”

"Yo!" The head catcher immediately laughed and hugged his fist at my grandfather, "Disrespectful and disrespectful, Ling Zun helped Zai solve a big case back then, and I still remember it vividly in my next day, no wonder I see the little brother so familiar." ”

Who is this headcatcher? It was the head catcher who helped my great-grandfather solve the "missing child case" fifteen years ago, and for more than ten years, the career of this head catcher was not smooth, but he struggled in the small place of Yanjin County. He came to Liuzhuang with him this time, but he heard that there were monsters in the stomachs of dead people, and he wanted to come for a long time to see how rare they were.

My grandfather also heard my great-grandfather talk about this headcatcher who was worried about the country and the people, and the two immediately politely greeted each other.

The servant listened to what my grandfather had said earlier, and quietly motioned for my grandfather to go with him into the mill to look at the corpse, saying that he had something to show my grandfather.

My grandfather hesitated, but soon followed him into the mill, and the head catcher followed them.

In the mill, my grandfather glanced at the place where Liu Daqiang's body was placed, and saw that the body had been covered with a straw mat, and he was relieved.

He walked to the feet of Liu Daqiang's corpse, lifted the corner of the straw mat, and motioned for my grandfather to go over and take a look
