dead child, ghost carrying coffin

"Book of Rites Nei Ze" has a saying: "Women are born in five years out of ten."

It means that when a woman reaches the age of 15, she will tie her hair with a hairpin, so it is called Jiji when a woman reaches the age of 15, which means that she has reached the age of marriage.

Note: Ji (ji), a hairpin for binding hair.

In ancient times, people matured earlier, so women married early.

This woman has been the first-class lover for seven years, and in a blink of an eye, she has reached the prime of life.

At the age of 22, even if he has not graduated from university, he is in the prime of his life.

Don't forget that it was the ancient Han Dynasty in China.

According to the "Hanshu·Huidiji" record: "Women who are above fifteen to thirty do not marry, five counts."

"Account" was a unit of measurement for the calculation and collection of poll tax at that time.

Citizens over the age of 15 and under the age of 56 must pay poll tax.

The amount of tax per person is 120 yuan, which is called "one calculation".

The five calculations are 720 yuan!

In other words, if you do not get married at the right age, you are in violation of the policy at that time and you have to pay a fine of five times the poll tax.

This fine was very high at the time:

Based on the average grain price of the entire Western Han Dynasty at around 720 renminbi per shi, [-] renminbi can buy seven or eight shih of grain, which is at least a year’s ration for an adult!

In the era when there was not enough to eat, it is conceivable that women bear the pressure from their families.

What's more, there are all kinds of rumors!

Finally one day, this infatuated woman compromised.

"Father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, my boudoir has not married for so many years, and I have hurt you all."

After the woman finished speaking, she bowed deeply to all the family members.

"Please give me another three days. If that person doesn't come back after three days, please be my matchmaker."

"No matter what the future situation of her husband's family is, my daughter will have no regrets!"

The woman's family has supported her for seven years, so why would they care about these three days!

They also knew that the woman was miserable, so they nodded in agreement with tears in their eyes.

During these three days, the woman sat on the bluestone halfway up the mountain and looked into the distance, without eating, drinking or sleeping.

While crying, she remade the red cloth that had been sewn countless times into a wedding dress.

It's just that the blood that fell on it this time, in addition to the blood on the hands, also dripped from the eyes...

Three days later, when her family found her, the woman was already blind.

She is already too old, and now she is disabled, so it is naturally more difficult for a woman to marry.

Just when the family was gloomy, that night, the woman groped out of the house by herself, wearing a blood-red wedding dress, and set herself on fire at the place where she had been waiting for seven years.

When someone found her, the beauty had long since passed away, only the wedding dress soaked in blood and tears was hanging high on the dead tree.

In the wind, the song "Bright Moon Ring, Lovesickness" is still vaguely echoing.

"You said you would come after dark, but I'll wait until my temples are frost-white, my hair is stained, and my lines of tears are also stained."

"I am a Yiren, half a hundred in a blink of an eye..."

After the woman died, she was buried on the spot by her family.

Since then, this place has been called "Orphan Girl Grave" by nearby villagers.

At first everything was calm until half a year later.

Those who pass by at night can always see the woman in wedding dress sitting on the bluestone and looking from afar.

If someone dares to approach, the woman will ask questions in a soft voice.

"Sir, are you going to a distant place?"

"Can you bring a sentence for my family: I am still waiting for him..."

Although the woman did not harm anyone after she turned into a ghost, the villagers were also terrified.

After all, people and ghosts have different paths, which one is not afraid? !

So he obeyed the words of a wandering Taoist, and built a Temple of Hades at the place where she died.

And all the nearby mountain people came to worship, and the incense continued.

This trick really worked, and no one has ever seen that miserable woman again...

"I'm going! So evil?!"

After listening to the story of the car repairman, Xiao Wang, who had already had "alternative contacts", was frightened.

But as the saying goes:

What kind of people raise what kind of birds, what kind of officials lead what kind of soldiers.

Xiao Wang has worked with Director Zhou Limin for so many years, so he naturally has a sense of responsibility!

What if there was a fire? !

If it burns, there will be deep mountains and old forests nearby, and how much property the country will lose!

Thinking of this, Xiao Wang tightened his police uniform, and boldly opened the car door.

"I don't believe it today, I have to go up and have a look!"

"Brother Li, if you don't hear from me after a while, you should call Xiaojiu quickly!"

"Tell him... tell him I'm in a daze again, waiting for help..."

The same people brought out by Director Zhou, Xiao Wang has such a strong sense of responsibility, Xiao Li is naturally not bad.

Hearing this, he got out of the car without saying a word.

"Wait for me! Go on your own, kid. If something goes wrong, Zhou Suo will have to castrate me!"

"Go together, we must see what it is!"

Looking at the backs of the two people's policemen leaving, the car mechanic who was alone in the car became more and more frightened as he thought about it.

Gritting his teeth, stomping his feet, he slammed the car door open.

"Slow down, both of you, and wait for me too!"
