15. The fact that no one believes
Not long after my eldest uncle's funeral, there was an order to go back to the army for my third uncle. He was then sent to a desolate and uninhabited mountainous area, where there were only a few houses and more military tents. My third uncle arrived in the morning, and then he was asked to put on a white coat, a mask, gloves, and then he learned how to disinfect.
During the day, there was no specific work arranged, and my third uncle was always on standby. In the evening, he finally received his first task, which was to dig a pit far from the station. After the pit was dug, he immediately received the next task - to carry the body.
The fighters sent there were divided into groups of twos and twos, and then the bodies were carried out on stretchers from the garrison and thrown into the digging haode pits. My third uncle remembers that he carried a total of eight corpses on the first night, and the total number of corpses thrown into the pit was definitely more than a hundred.
After all the bodies were lifted, my third uncle returned to the station to disinfect his whole body before returning to the tent to rest. As he walked towards the tent, he saw the light of the fire outside the station, and the location of the fire was apparently the pit where the corpses had been dumped.
The next day, during the day, several batches of patients were brought back and forth by military trucks, and my third uncle continued to dig a new pit as ordered, and at night he continued to carry the bodies into the pit and then burn them. This repetitive work went on for four days, and on the fifth day, my third uncle finally received a new task.
He and the other three warriors were each given a shovel and set off for the pit where the crematories had been cremated the day before, and their job was to shovel the charred corpses that had climbed to the edge of the pit back into the pit. At this time, my third uncle realized that it was not all corpses that they threw into the pit before, and some of them were not even dead!
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he even heard a miserable cry when the firelight lit up outside the station that night.
Two and a half months later, my third uncle's work ended. According to him, there were at least 500 corpses thrown into the pit by his hands alone in the past two months. And how many pits like this are in Heilongjiang, he himself can't say.
Afterwards, the military district ordered that the contents of this work should be kept secret, but this secrecy did not actually mean much. First, the information dissemination at that time was underdeveloped, and the local people knew about the plague; The second is that far more people died of starvation than from the plague, and there was no panic at all, or people at that time were in a daily panic of hunger.
After more than 20 years, people only remember the three years of natural disasters, the great famine with little food and rice, and although some people occasionally mention the plague during natural disasters, more people are willing to believe that it is just a fig leaf, an official excuse.
It was precisely because no one believed it anymore that my third uncle told my father the secret that had been stuffed in his heart, and then told me the secret today.
Obviously, the ghost message conveyed by the corpse poison is the scene of the disposal of infected corpses back then.
According to my third uncle, it was clear that some of the corpses thrown into the pit were not completely dead. If I were one of those people who didn't die completely but was thrown into the fire pit, then I would never think that I died of disease, I would think that I was burned to death, and I died unjustly! I could have been saved, but I was burned alive, I was wronged, I have a grudge!
I can already conclude that the fires that struck people in the development zone were the living patients who had been burned to death, but there were three other problems that I could not figure out.
Who passed this information down in the form of corpse poison bone meal?
What happened on the eighth day of the first lunar month to make these resentful ghosts who had been stopped for more than 50 years come out to make trouble?
weishenme: These ghosts will attack people eight times?
I threw these three questions to my third uncle, hoping that he could give me a little hint. It's a pity that his old man couldn't help me further on these three issues, and he could only determine that the location where the pit was dug should be the current west of the city, and the pits were not concentrated in one place, but scattered around the place where they were stationed at that time.
It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when I ended the call with my uncle, and every time the fire appeared, it was probably between nine and ten o'clock, and I think this time period should be the time when the body was burned more than fifty years ago. I was afraid that my phone call would disturb Qiao Wei and their ghosts, so I waited until half past ten to call.
Things were the same as I thought, Qiao Wei told me that the ghost fire appeared at about 9:40, and the body was a person with fire all over his body.
I wanted to tell Qiao Wei directly about the plague cremation incident fifty years ago that I had just heard, but Qiao Wei was anxious to say that he had discovered a very suspicious thing when he was exorcising ghosts, and he felt that it was very necessary to talk to me in detail in person, and then discuss it together.
So half an hour later, I arrived at the suite that Zheng Cheng had given Qiao Wei, and Qiao Wei had already prepared a supper and coffee, and it seemed that he was ready to study with me all night.
After I entered the house, I first told Qiao Wei about the plague cremation incident, and then asked the same three questions that I couldn't find answers to.
After listening to me seriously, Qiao Wei immediately said, "I think we are very close to the answer. ”
I didn't know that Qiao Wei Weishenme would come to such a conclusion, but it was clear that there must be some important connection between the suspicious incident he found and the clues I provided!
This suspicious incident is the whole process of exorcism tonight, and I, a layman, can't hear the doorway, but under Qiao Wei's detailed explanation, I also feel that things have really become clear all of a sudden.
Qiao Wei was the first to arrive at the scene as soon as the fire appeared, and the big fire jumped out almost at the same time as Qiao Wei appeared. Qiao Wei prepared to break up the fire ball in his usual way, but his spell was blocked by the White Python Immortal as soon as he was halfway through use.
Subsequently, the white python immortal used a white paper spell that Qiao Wei couldn't even name. After the spell took effect, the fire was immediately extinguished and the ghost inside appeared, and then the ghost followed the white python fairy out of the burning room and outside, and was finally collected by the white python fairy into a clay jar buried in a flower bed.
Qiao Wei thought it was a ghost sealing technique, but after the white python fairy sprinkled some powdery things into the earthen jar, the upper body of the ghost actually came out of the jar again, and cried and struggled in pain, as if recreating the scene of death, as the white python immortal smashed the earthen jar into pieces, the ghost also dissipated. And before smashing the earthen pot, the white python fairy's face obviously showed a look of disappointment.
