Six bodies, a small but significant task.
Qin He took a look and decided to increase the amount of fire from the abyss, considering that it was quite intense and had the added bonus of the giant turtle's wind blowing. He would put three corpses in one furnace and burn them all in two furnaces.
Cleanse the corpse.
The thin man was missing an arm, so Qin He found a piece of wood and cut a prosthetic limb for him. It was a little ugly, but it was better than nothing. The woman's corpse was intact, except for her skin, which was completely ulcerated and dry. He applied some lime to it to restore her complexion.
Then he picked the tallest and strongest one from the four ordinary corpses and sewed the hole in the heart back together.
The corpse cleaner only cares whether there are any missing parts on the body surface. Things that are not part of the body surface, such as organs and tongue, are not important. As long as the ghost catcher can recognize the person, it is fine.
In this way, the first furnace of three corpses, one big and two small, was completed.
Light the coal to start the fire, blow the air to burn the corpse, and then call out the fire from the abyss. The day's work begins.
The big turtle pulled the bellows with all his strength, and sufficient air rushed in, starting a raging fire.
The speed of cremation of the corpse was quite good. Although the female corpse had turned into a zombie, it was still a half-human, half-corpse puppet, and the degree of hardening of the corpse was not as good as Ji Wubing's.
Then sew up the remaining three bodies, and then it’s just a matter of waiting.
Two words: comfort.
Cross your legs, rest your head on a pillow, and wait for the harvest.
The big turtle was not reluctant to use up his own kerosene, so he poured it in with all his might, speeding up the burning of the corpse a little.
Two hours later, Qin He saw the shadow play of the thin man and the female corpse.
The moment he finished watching, Qin He picked up a stick and hit the thin man's head, which was still not burned, seven or eight times, smashing his skull into pieces.
Four words: heinous crime.
The thin man's real name is Wu Sanqu. From the name, you can tell that his family is a farmer. They need water to plow the fields, so his father named him "Sanqu".
Whenever farming is carried out, regardless of whether the weather is good or not, water must be brought from the water source to the farmland, which has been an difficult task since ancient times.
Quarrels and fights over water use are commonplace in the countryside.
This is also one of the important reasons why the land of Dongtu has advocated "many children and more blessings" since ancient times.
Others have many brothers, but you are alone. You can't rob others, and you dare not fight back when others bully you. In any case, you have to lag behind others.
It would be fine if there was plenty of rain, but if there was not enough rain, people would starve to death.
Wu Sanqu's family encountered such a situation.
There was a severe drought in his hometown at that time, and the dispute over water became more and more intense. Wu Sanqu's father, Wu Liang, had no brothers and lived alone. He could not get any water at all, and he did not dare to compete with others for it.
In addition, the fields at home are some of the remotest fields farthest from the water source, and there is nothing we can do as we watch the crops turn yellow day by day.
Forget about diverting water, you might even be beaten if you go to fetch water.
Wu Sanqu watched his father sighing and looking sad all day long, and decided to get water for the family's fields.
After much thought, I felt that as long as these strong men in the village were still there, I would not be able to use water for my fields because the water in the source was not enough to share.
How to do it?
Kill these people.
Yes, Wu Sanqu is so cruel. His cowardly father raised a cruel son.
He was only seven years old that year, and cruelty was innate.
Wu Sanqu secretly ran to the landlord's house, picked up some poisoned rice used to kill rats, and secretly put it into the food of these thugs. He did the whole thing without blushing, feeling nervous, or shaking.
Good guy.
Two of the gang of strong men died that day, and three died the next day.
Five lives!
If this were a human life, the government would not bother to care, and the local gentry would just uphold justice themselves.
But these were five pieces of news, and the news spread all over the place. The county magistrate saw that he had no choice but to send the head of the detective squad to investigate.
The team leader investigated and found that everyone who drew water from the water source was a suspect and no one could escape.
But no matter who you ask, everyone claims to be innocent, and there is no evidence.
When the squad leader saw this, he said, "Okay, stop complaining and send everyone back to the county government office."
With a hemp rope, all the people in the village who could wield a hoe were taken away, even the honest Wu Liang was not spared.
Even the squad leader could not have imagined that the murderer was not one of the people fighting for water, but a seven-year-old child.
Now, with no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king.
Although Wu Sanqu is only seven years old, he is cruel and ruthless but also smart. Without adults at home, which child can defeat him? He finally managed to divert water and save the crops in the fields.
Two days later, the county government couldn't find the murderer, so they hastily framed one innocent man and closed the case, and released the rest.
When Wu Liang returned home, he saw that his youngest son had actually brought water to the fields. He was so happy that he kept kissing and praising his son, saying that his son was smart and sensible.
With his father's encouragement, Wu Sanqu got his first taste of "using whatever means necessary".
As he grew older, Wu Sanqu became more and more ruthless, robbing and seizing things, and became a bully in the village.
But being cruel and ruthless may give you an advantage if nothing goes wrong, but if something goes wrong, it’s hard to say.
Wu Sanqu killed the son of a wealthy family in a fight. Since ancient times, killing someone means paying with one's life. When Wu Sanqu saw that he could no longer stay in the village, he fled and went to Xingyang.
When Wu Sanqu arrived in Xingyang, he was penniless and had to rely on begging to make a living. After wandering for many days, he sold himself to the wealthy family of Chang Wenyu in Xingyang as a long-term worker, and finally settled down.
At Chang Wenyu's house, Wu Sanqu met the woman he wanted to occupy for the rest of his life, the female corpse, the eldest daughter of the Chang family, Chang Qiner.
Her appearance, temperament, and conversation made her look like a fairy to Wu Sanqu. Wu Sanqu was used to being a bully in the countryside, and he had no idea what kind of iron wall the distinction between families in the city was, so he actually married Chang Qin'er.
He dared to think.
Chang Qin'er is a beautiful and kind person. She is not arrogant and is very nice to her servants, which gave Wu Sanqu some misconceptions.
In order to get close to Chang Qin'er, Wu Sanqu would stop at nothing. Anyone who stood in his way would either die inexplicably, be framed, or commit a serious mistake and be kicked out of the Chang family.
Anyway, the Chang family was in turmoil during that period. Many people died and many unsolved cases occurred.
In the end, Wu Sanqu got what he wanted and got close to Chang Qiner.
Chang Qin'er saw that although Wu Sanqu was not well educated, he was quite clever, so she took him with her to do business and made him her permanent attendant.
I have to add here that Chang Qin'er is Chang Wenyu's only daughter. Her family runs a tea and silk business, so she has to take on the responsibilities when she grows up, unlike girls from other families who never leave the house.
Wu Sanqu gradually had more opportunities to be alone with Chang Qin'er.
But Wu Sanqu also gradually realized that he and Chang Qin'er could never become the kind of relationship he fantasized about day and night, and Chang Qin'er didn't really have any special favor for him, she just thought that this person was a little smart and useful.
More importantly, Chang Qin'er already had an engagement, and her wedding was approaching.
Wu Sanqu gets crazy when he can't get what he wants, and when he gets crazy he wants to take it by force.
After drinking one time, he took advantage of the alcohol to molest Chang Qin'er.
It was a heinous crime for a servant to molest his master, so there was no need for the government to intervene. The Chang family dealt with Wu Sanqu by tying him to a pig-killing stool and torturing him until he was only left with his last breath, and then hanging his body from a tree to be exposed.
At this time, the troublemaker appeared again.
The strange man in the Corpse Refining Hall was the one who turned Ji Wubing into a corpse puppet. This time we finally know his name, An Zhongjiu.
An Zhongjiu saved Wu Sanqu, taught him some methods of practicing by using corpses, and made him his minion.
This period of time is quite long, more than four years.
During those four years, Wu Sanqu was always thinking about rushing back to the Chang family and taking Chang Qin'er away by force. He hated her so much that he gnashed his teeth and was very upset.
Four years later, Wu Sanqu got what he wanted. Except for Chang Qin'er, no one in the Chang family, including the master and servants and more than a hundred people, survived.
Chang Qin'er knew that Wu Sanqu must have left her alone because he was attracted by her beauty, so in anger and sorrow, she hit her head against the beam and died.
Wu Sanqu didn't get Chang Qin'er alive after all, but he had a way to seal Chang Qin'er's soul and prevent it from dissipating, and then use the corpse refining method to refine it into a half-human, half-corpse puppet.
In this way, Chang Qin'er will always be by his side.
Afterwards, he returned to his hometown and held a grand wedding for himself. He and Chang Qin'er consummated their marriage on the same day and started living together as husband and wife.
Not to mention the murders committed in the following years, the innocent souls who died unjustly in the crematoriums in the west and north cities were just a drop in the bucket.
He is such a pervert who repays kindness with enmity and will do anything to achieve his goal.
Killing him with a hammer would definitely be too easy for him.
The shadow lamp captivated the soul, the judgment was weighed, and the black-robed man spoke: "Toad is a love-struck species, but he is forced to be a bully; destiny does not allow you to force it, and being together is not love. I will go to the underworld to atone for my seven sins, and the road will be cut off in the cycle of reincarnation to suppress the nine netherworlds."
