Wu Family Sword Spirit

Chapter 206

When Lin Kai called me, I still couldn't believe it. Who would be so wicked as to dig up an old lady's grave and steal her body?

But when I walked to Grandma Lin’s original grave and took a look, I realized that there are such wicked people in the world. Not only had Grandma Lin’s grave been dug up, but even the coffin boards were torn apart and scattered on the ground. But it disappeared.

As soon as I saw this scene, the boundless anger in my heart rose up. I was angry and angry, and my fists clenched. This was definitely something I couldn't tolerate. It was my untouchable evil scale. Lin My mother-in-law was my savior. When she dug her old man's body out of the grave, wasn't this just a slap in my Wu Jiuyin's face?
Seeing the soil turned aside and the coffin boards scattered on the ground, I was so angry that I almost cried. I took several deep breaths before I calmed down a bit.

Damn it, who did this?If I were to find out, I would definitely beat his mother so hard that she wouldn’t even recognize who he is!

With staggering steps, I walked bit by bit towards the messy grave of Granny Lin.

Just listen to what the few people standing on the grave said to each other.

An old man in his 50s said angrily: "What kind of bastard do you think is so wicked? Why would he dig up a dead person..."

Another old man also said: "That's right. The old Lin family has always been lonely in our Nanluoling Village. There are no family elders. There is only one child working in the city. This Mrs. Lin has always been a widow. Now she is dead. I can’t live in peace, my body was dug up, and I don’t know where it was taken, so the village chief can give me an idea, what do you think we should do about this?”

An old man in his 60s, holding a dry tobacco pot, squatted on the grave of Granny Lin and smoked. After being silent for a while, he said: "I have already called his son about Widow Lin's matter. It should be settled in the next two days." If we can get there, what can we do if the body is gone? We can only build a tomb for her, which is better than leaving her alone."

The old man in his 50s sighed: "Village chief, who do you think did this?"

The village chief took a deep breath from his cigarette and said, "I think it might have been the hands of those beasts in Xiliwa. I have long heard that the two brothers named Huang are not in the serious business and often dig up corpses." Come on, sell it to others for marriage in secret, it’s such an evil and smoky business, a dead person can be sold for at least a few thousand dollars in their hands, and when it’s expensive, it can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, this thing, It's very possible that the two brothers did it..."

But the old man in his 50s shook his head and said with some uncertainty: "I also know a little bit about Yin marriage, but usually the corpses of old girls and young wives are dug up, and Mrs. Lin doesn't She is over 60 years old, who would want her body to be used in a secret marriage?"

"It's hard to say. If you can't sell it for a good price, then you can at least sell it for hundreds or even thousands, right? Nowadays, most people are cremated when they die. If you can have a whole body, it is also very popular. That surname Huang's two brothers may have been short of money recently... It's not surprising that they would do such an immoral thing..." the village chief added.

After hearing this, I stopped moving towards Granny Lin's grave. I didn't dare to look at the miserable appearance, for fear that I wouldn't be able to accept it.

However, from the words of several elderly people, I got a very useful information, that is, Granny Lin's body may have been stolen by two brothers named Huang from Xiliwa, and their purpose was to match people with ghost marriages.

The bad habit of shady marriage has been around since before the Han Dynasty. Because shady marriage consumes manpower and material resources in society and is meaningless, it was once banned. However, this trend has never been completely eradicated, and some are even directly manifested in on the ruler.For example, Cao Cheng, his favorite son Cao Chen, died when he was 13 years old. Cao Cheng hired the deceased Miss Zhen to be Cao Chen's wife and buried them together.

During the Hong Dynasty, shadow marriage was most popular.According to Kang Yu's "Dream Record", when an unmarried man or woman dies, his parents will ask a "spiritual medium" to talk about the marriage, and then perform divination. After getting the marriage approval from the divination, they will each make ghost clothes for the spirit and hold a marriage ceremony. , the men and women were buried together.

If a son dies without a wife, he may ask his deceased daughter to be buried with him.

In the Wen Dynasty, this custom of women being buried in the underworld was still very popular with the strengthening of the concept of chastity.

In Jinchen City at the end of the article and at the beginning of the article, there are still remnants of the custom of ghost marriage. There are also some families who organize "happy events" where the deceased marries the dead, which is called "making bones and corpses", and the in-laws of the male and female families are called "bone corpse relatives". .

Only now, this custom of "building bones and corpses" has been completely banned. This kind of situation is becoming less and less, but it has not been completely eliminated. In small mountain villages like ours, this kind of situation occasionally occurs.

However, the ceremony is not that complicated. After discussion between the two families, the unmarried man and woman who died young will be buried together, and this is how the shadow marriage is completed.

However, with the development of the times and the advancement of medicine, it is rare for people to die young. Most of them are old bachelors who did not marry a wife while they were alive. The brothers and sisters of the old bachelor will find ways to help him. He arranges a secret marriage so that he can have someone to keep him company despite being under the clouds.

This situation gave rise to a profession, that of corpse thieves.

In our place, in most rural areas, people who are not married cannot be cremated after they die, and the body will be buried in a coffin.

Therefore, once those thieves who steal corpses hear such news, they will wait for the corpse to be buried, secretly dig the grave in the middle of the night, steal the corpse, and then sell it to old bachelors who died without being married at a high price. Their family members, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, are making huge profits.

I have heard of this happening from time to time, but never seen it before.

This time when I heard the old village head of Nanluoling Village say this, the evil fire in my heart rose up, and I even bullied my benefactor.

If it is true that the two boys named Huang stole Granny Lin's body and "built the body", I must kill these two boys!
