corpse village

The ancestral hall in Shima Village, also known as Shima Temple, is actually three houses with earth walls and black tiles on the roof.In the middle room, there is a memorial tablet of the ancestor Liu of Shima Village.

The Liu family was born in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. He fled to Shima Village and was also the first villager in Shima Village.At that time, Shima Village was a barren hill with no name.When Liu was building his old house, he dug out a stone horse.

According to legend, after the appearance of the stone horse, Liu's luck changed immediately, and somehow he made a fortune.Originally a bachelor, he married eight beautiful wives in one go.

Liu believed that the excavated stone horse had changed his luck, so he named the place Stone Horse Village.At the same time, Liu also built a stone horse temple and enshrined the stone horse in it.

It is a pity that when the Qing Dynasty fell, the Stone Horse Temple was destroyed, and the stone horse enshrined in it was also lost.As for the current ancestral hall, the three tile-roofed houses were rebuilt on the original site by descendants of Shima Village.Liu's memorial tablet was also placed by later generations.

At that time, when the Shima Temple was rebuilt, later generations found some instruments of torture on the original site.Those instruments of torture were used to deal with those villagers who violated the village rules.In order to show their respect to their ancestors, the descendants put all the instruments of torture in the side rooms of the Shima Temple, which are only for viewing and have never been used.

Originally, the villagers brought Li Tianzhen to the ancestral hall because they wanted to use family law against her.However, Li Tianzhen's voluntary confession made the villagers' hearts soften immediately.

After arriving at the ancestral hall, the villagers did not execute the sentence immediately, but let Li Tianzhen confess her crimes in front of the ancestors.

The so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves.Li Tianzhen's previous confession was to delay time, but now she is willing to admit her guilt in order to delay her time.

"It's all my fault. I would like to confess my crimes to the ancestors of Shima Village." After Li Tianzhen finished speaking, she immediately knelt down on the ground.After kneeling, Li Tianzhen moved into the ancestral hall step by step while kneeling.After entering the ancestral hall, Li Tianzhen immediately kowtowed in front of the tablets of Liu's ancestors.

After kowtowing, Li Tianzhen put her palms on the ground, touched her forehead to the ground, and confessed in a low voice.As for what Li Tianzhen was reading, because Li Tianzhen's voice was too low, the people present could not hear clearly.

However, everyone can still see that Li Tianzhen is really sincerely repenting.Since Li Tianzhen is sincerely repenting, the villagers can't say anything, they can only watch from the sidelines.

The villagers have to wait for Li Tianzhen to finish her confession before proceeding with the next step.

The reason why Li Tianzhen was able to kneel before the ancestors to repent so actively was that she wanted to save herself from the pain of flesh and blood.She knew that most of the villagers were kind-hearted. As long as she was sincere enough, the villagers would probably forgive her.Even if the villagers don't forgive themselves, this can delay time.

As long as Li Tianzhen could keep kneeling in front of the tablet of her ancestors, the villagers would never touch her before she stood up on her own initiative.Therefore, Li Tianzhen could just keep kneeling, waiting for her mother Miemenpo to arrive.

Just when Li Tianzhen was thinking about it and pretending to confess, a piercing shout suddenly came from among the villagers.

"It's not good, it's not good, that idiot Liu Dakui is going to call Miemenpo!" It was Widow Chen who yelled.

Before, at Zhang San's house, when Li Tianzhen sent Liu Dakui away, Widow Chen felt something was wrong.Because in her heart, Li Tianzhen is definitely not the kind of person who can sincerely repent.If Li Tianzhen could truly repent, she wouldn't have been bullying Widow Chen's five cents and not paying back.

Li Tianzhen had many tricks, and Widow Chen knew about it. At that time, she felt that something was wrong, so she followed Liu Dakui out.

After following them, Widow Chen saw that Liu Dakui was going towards Songpo Village, and felt that Li Tianzhen might have asked Liu Dakui to rescue the soldiers, so she followed Liu Dakui for a while.

In order to determine what Liu Dakui was doing, Widow Chen took the initiative to chase him.After all, Liu Dakui is a fool, so Widow Chen found out in a few words that he was going to find his grandmother.After getting the news, Widow Chen ran back immediately.

Widow Chen never lied.Therefore, the villagers will never doubt what she said.

It can be said that Widow Chen's words undoubtedly tore off Li Tianzhen's last veil, allowing her to reveal her ugly face.After the villagers knew that Li Tianzhen was pretending to confess in order to delay the time, the villagers were completely angry.

"The people in our Shima Village are not afraid of Miemen!" Just when the villagers were holding back their anger and were about to explode, Liu Lizi yelled at the most appropriate time.

When Liu Zizi yelled, the villagers immediately became excited.Just when the villagers were furious, Qian Yongfu stepped forward.

"Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet." Qian Yongfu stood on the big rock beside him while talking.

The big rock was half a meter long, and once Qian Yongfu stood on it, he seemed to be a head taller than everyone else.By doing this, he can not only attract everyone's attention, but also make his voice spread farther, so that everyone can hear it.

When Qian Yongfu roared like this, everyone fell silent.After everyone was quiet, Qian Yongfu began to talk about business. "What's going on, we still have to ask Li Tianzhen. Before we find out, please don't make any noise."

Even if the case is being tried by the Yamen, the prisoner must sign the signature!Therefore, the villagers agreed with Qian Yongfu's proposal to ask Li Tianzhen first.

As soon as Qian Yongfu finished speaking, Liu Xizi began to question Li Tianzhen.

"Be honest, did you tell your son Liu Dakui to call your mother to kill the family?" Liu Cripple asked.

Of course Li Tianzhen knew that she would never admit to this matter, if she did, the villagers would definitely tear her apart.

"No, I don't." Li Tianzhen replied firmly.

Although Li Tianzhen pretended to be very similar, and answered so sincerely, but because she had lied to the villagers a lot before, the villagers did not believe her words.

"She's dishonest, put her on a tiger bench, and see if she still recognizes her?" Lie Zizi hated Liu Renqing to the bone, and now he finally got a chance to clean up Liu Renqing's wife Li Tianzhen, of course he would not let it go.

"Tiger stool! Tiger stool!" As soon as Liu Lizi finished speaking, the villagers also echoed.

Everyone has their savage side.Now, the wildness of the villagers is completely mobilized.In fact, the villagers can't be blamed for this, after all, it was Li Tianzhen who did it first.

The villagers knew what kind of person Miemenpo was.Li Tianzhen asked Liu Dakui to call Miemenpo, Li Tianzhen needless to say the motive, everyone understood.Moreover, on weekdays, Li Tianzhen and Liu Renqing have done all kinds of evil things in the village, and they have never done a single good thing.

Now, Li Tianzhen asked Liu Dakui to find Miemenpo, obviously to deal with the villagers!Can the villagers spare her?

Just when everyone was furious, the calm Qian Yongfu spoke.

"In order to prevent accidents, let's invite the old Taoist Zhushan first! In these ten miles and eight towns, he is the only opponent of Miemenpo. Although the old Taoist Zhushan is greedy for money, he is also a conscientious person. He will definitely help Shima Village." After Qian Yongfu finished speaking, he pulled Wang Wu over and said to him: "Wang Wu, you have fast legs and feet, so you can go for a run!"

"Okay! I'm going to invite the old Taoist of Zhushan, and you guys will interrogate Li Tianzhen, that vile adulterer here!" After Wang Wu finished speaking, he trotted away.

Zhushan's old-fashioned ability is not inferior to that of Miemenpo.Therefore, as long as the old Taoist of Zhushan can be invited, the villagers will no longer be afraid of Miemenpo, and they can deal with Li Tianzhen with confidence.

To be honest, without the couple Liu Renqing and Li Tianzhen, Shima Village would be a very peaceful, tranquil, poor but happy small village.Therefore, Shima Village became what it is now, thanks to the gift of the Liu family!
