Chapter 459, the past of the old village
Digging graves, this kind of thing is very immoral in the people, the so-called breaking people's yin morality, hurting people's ancestors, if it is to steal the corpse, or insult the bones of the ancestors, it is already a crime, but this kind of behavior is difficult to find out, because the murderer is very difficult to find. Being able to dig people's ancestral graves on the boundaries of Shanghai and Zhejiang is certainly not something ordinary people do. There are only two possibilities, the first is that the people in our circle want to refine corpses, and if they buy them in the underground market, even ordinary corpses will be difficult to get. The second is that there are people who are haunted by monsters, and when they pass by, they destroy these cemeteries, and many monsters are scavengers, and some even feed on human bones.
But now that I'm in the village, things seem to have come as a surprise.
First, all the graves in the village were dug up, but not a single corpse was missing, which means that the grave destroyers did not do it for the sake of the corpses. Second, even if this cemetery is not a large place, there are more than a dozen of them, and they were dug up overnight, and there must have been great movement in such a project, but in the quiet mountain village at night, no one heard a sound outside.
Third, as far as I know, Li Genchang was cremated, and the urn was in the underworld garden in Shanghai.
This makes this grave digging incident become strange, the villagers are all saying that there are monsters to haunt them, but after Hei Dan and I arrived at the scene, we didn't feel the demon at all.
There were no strange claws, feathers, cortex or anything like that at the scene, and the graves seemed to have burst open from the inside, which made people panic.
The local police are doing the work of coordination and pacification, but the villagers are still very emotional. Especially a group of old farmers, they believe that there is something in this world that people don't know, so they can't calm down more and more.
I walked around the neighborhood, said hello to the police from the local police station, and was about to go to Wang Genchang's house. Because, after all, investigating the case given by Li Dashan in hand is the main topic, and the strange things that happened here, even if there are really monsters, but they didn't hurt anyone last night, I'm afraid they have already left.
However, just then, I heard an old, hoarse voice coming from the back of the crowd.
"This is retribution, retribution!"
I was stunned for a moment, turned my head to look over, and when the crowd heard the voice, they all fell silent, and many young and middle-aged people showed a trace of fear on their faces, and a short old woman walked out from the back of the crowd.
The people around hurriedly dodged, as if they didn't want to make contact with her, and everyone's eyes revealed fear.
A short old woman with embarrassed hair, her head bowed, bent over, and a little hunchbacked, walked slowly, and I saw that her left eye was blind, and in it was a white thing that I don't know if it was stone or jade to serve as an eyeball. Not only that, but I also observed that her nails were very long, and her feet were 5.6 centimeters. The good eye will release a trace of uncomfortable gaze when looking at people.
Compared with the old lady Li Tian who I had come into contact with before, this old woman was obviously more unsettling.
However, I knew that she was a human being, not a monster, and that the decision to leave was uttered in her mouth, and that it was retribution, I decided to stay and listen to the old woman's words.
"Grandma of the Wu family, don't talk nonsense......"
Someone shouted loudly, it was a man's voice, but the voice was a little trembling. A policeman came to my side at this time, and they received a call from Li Dashan and would cooperate with my work.
"Who is this old woman?"
I asked in a low voice.
"Oh, it's the grandmother of the Wu family, it is said that she came from Zhejiang before the liberation, she is not a local, but she has lived here for decades, she has no wife, no children, and she is very withdrawn, not to mention the young people in the village, even the old guys in the village don't seem to want to contact her, as if they are afraid of her. He seems to be a little crazy, and he speaks like a god. ”
The policemen's words were somewhat ambiguous, and it was clear that they didn't know much about the old woman.
"Am I talking nonsense? Haha, you go and ask, what happened to me when I was in this village? The little ones don't know, and the old ones don't know either? When the child daughter-in-law and adulterer were burned to death, didn't you all watch the old ones? What's wrong? Don't dare to say it, don't dare to let the little ones hear it? ”
As soon as the grandmother of the Wu family shouted like this, the middle-aged and young people in the village were a little commotion, and I saw that some old people lowered their heads, there must be a hidden secret here, and this hidden secret is definitely not small!
"Grandma of the Wu family, it's been so many decades, don't mention that matter, anyway, people have been dead for so long."
An old man who looked about the same age as the grandmother of the Wu family sighed and said, listening to the voice as if he was helpless.
"This person's name is Wu Baojin, he is the old village chief of this village, he is a very good person, but he is a little afraid, if you want to know about this Wujia Village later, you can ask him more."
The police explained, and I nodded and secretly wrote it down.
At this time, when the grandmother of the Wu family heard Wu Baojin's words, her face sank, not to mention, after the old woman's face sank, she looked even more gloomy, and a gust of wind blew around for no reason, and a large cloud in the sky floated over to block the sun in the sky.
I heard the grandmother of the Wu family say coldly, "Didn't you notice? The people who were dug up were all old guys who proposed to burn the woman and the adulterer, haven't you thought about it? That woman may have returned......"
The grandmother of the Wu family had a very hoarse voice, and with this gloomy environment, she scared several children to cry on the spot. As soon as the children cried, the atmosphere became a little chaotic, the clouds in the sky also drifted over, after the sun was sprinkled, the wind was also down, the adults were busy coaxing the children, and the police comrades went up to disperse the crowd, let the Wu family grandmother go back, don't stay to confuse the public.
After the crowd dispersed, I saw Wu Baojin take a handful of cigarettes from his pocket and walk towards the back of the village, looking like he wanted to go home. I asked Hei Dan to go to Li Genchang's house first and wait, and I ran after Wu Baojin, I always felt that this Wu Baojin must know a lot of things that I didn't know yet.
After catching up with him, I introduced myself, of course, saying that I was a member of the Criminal Police Brigade of the City Bureau, to understand the situation, and wanted to ask him, what kind of woman, adulterer, burning and other things that the grandmother of the Wu family said before?
Wu Baojin waved his hand, and after saying that he would not tell me, I threatened him that if he didn't tell me, I would take him to the bureau. Generally speaking, ordinary people are afraid to go to the police station, after all, even if you don't commit anything, it's not a good thing to go around the bureau.
Wu Baojin looked at me and asked in a low voice, "You really want to know?" ”
I nodded, and he looked around to see that there was no one else and led me into his house.
Wu Baojin's children work in Shanghai, and his wife passed away a few years ago, so he now lives alone. As soon as I entered the house, he made me a cup of tea, and then after closing the door, he said with a solemn expression: "Little comrade, this incident has happened for a long time, but I still remember it vividly, and I still remember that it was before the liberation, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was about to end. Because we live near Shanghai, our life is relatively stable. However, there is still a big landowner in the village, surnamed Li. Originally, it was not called Wujia Village, it was called Lijia Village, but after the landlord was defeated, it was renamed Wujia Village. At that time, the landlord surnamed Li bought a child daughter-in-law for his second son, I was not very old at the time, but I still remember the appearance of the child daughter-in-law, very smart, but beautiful. However, he was always bullied in the Li family, and the second son of the Li family was skinny since he was a child, and his temperament was not good, and he was very vicious, and he always beat the child daughter-in-law. However, the people around us, looking at it, did not dare to say that it was not like now, when there was a law to govern it, at that time, the landlord was the sky, and we all worked long and short jobs for their families. It's just that I didn't expect that in the third year of the child daughter-in-law, at the beginning of the year, just after the New Year, I heard a bad news. The second son of the landlord's family died! At that time, everyone was shocked, although this kid was vicious, but after all, he was still young, why was it gone? Later, it was said that he was poisoned, but the murderer was not found. As a result, after a few more days, the landlord's family said that the murderer had been caught, and it was the child daughter-in-law. She got along with a man in the village, and the two of them teamed up to kill the second son of the landlord's family. At that time, this was a great event, and the murder was to pay for his life, not to mention the death of the second son of the landlord's family. As a result, ten miles outside the village that night, a man and a woman were caught hiding. At noon the next day, he tied them to a stake and burned them alive, and I still remember the death, which I still remember, the woman begged for mercy at first, but when she saw the man being burned to death, she went crazy, and shouted for revenge, which was heartbreaking, and I was scared to death at that time. ”
The incident that Wu Baojin said was not uncommon in the old society, and the lives of child daughters-in-law were basically miserable.
"Still, something strange happened that day."
I was already planning to leave, but at this moment, Wu Baojin mentioned this, and I looked at him suspiciously.
"Oh, that's right, generally speaking, it rarely snows in Zhejiang and Shanghai, but on the day that woman burned to death, it snowed. Many people said that the woman had been wronged, and that after the snow had extinguished the flames, people went to collect the body and saw that the woman's whole body was burned, but her eyes were intact, and they were very wide open, which was terrifying. ”
As soon as the old man's words came out, I secretly screamed in my heart, I'm afraid that the ghost will not go away!
