Volume 1 Chapter 065 Head-slicing Bag
I was very curious, so I asked what it was. The woman said, "Do you know the blood droplet?"
When I heard about the blood-dropping dart, my first reaction was that it was impossible. I have never actually seen this thing, but I often hear people talking about it. The so-called blood-dropping dart is a kind of hidden weapon unique to the secret service agency called the Sticking Rod Department under the Emperor Yongzheng during the Qing Dynasty. It is said to be shaped like a birdcage and can take people's heads from a long distance.
Earlier, I always thought that the blood-dropping dart was just something made up by later generations, but once I asked Uncle San if there really was such a thing, and Uncle San said yes, he had seen it before. But I didn't really believe it, thinking that Feng Laosan was just bragging.
But even if the Flying Guillotine really exists, according to the rumors circulating in the world, this kind of hidden weapon is also used to take people's heads. In simple terms, this birdcage-like thing will be thrown out, and it will cover the person's head and take the head away. It is extremely cruel and weird.
But there is a huge difference between taking a person's head and removing all the flesh and skin from the person, leaving only a skull. The difference between them cannot be measured in miles.
The woman listened to me and didn't say anything, but kept coughing. The muscular man standing aside was a little worried and wanted to come over, but she waved her hand to stop him.
Ma Laodao said: "Let me tell you about this." He looked at me and said: "What you said is just hearsay. The real blood-dropping device is actually a small cloth bag."
"Cloth bag?" I was very curious. According to the legends, the reason why the blood dropper can remove human heads is because it is a hidden weapon made of metal, shaped like a birdcage, which is designed to cover the human head. The mechanism inside will be activated to remove the human head.
How can a cloth bag do such a thing?
Ma Lao Dadao: "The real blood-dropping guillotine is a cloth bag. It was first carried by a man named Guan Tianqi during the war in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was chaos and bandits everywhere. This small linen bag could cover a person's head without anyone noticing, and in an instant, the skin and flesh were shaved off. It was called a head-slicing bag. No one knows where this bag came from, but it is said that Guan Tianqi was a very famous executioner before, and was particularly good at the art of lingchi."
I was horrified by what I heard, but I still found it hard to believe that there were such weird things in the world.
"Later, when the Qing army entered the country, during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, the head-slicing bag fell into the hands of a steward at the Sticking Pole Office. This man happened to be a master at killing weapons, and he thought the way the head-slicing bag killed people was very interesting and could definitely intimidate the enemy, so he put a lot of effort into studying the principle of the head-slicing bag."
I am not unfamiliar with the word "pinning device" because I have heard Uncle San mention it occasionally when we were having dinner and chatting. The so-called pinning device should be called mechanism pinning device, which is a general term for various mechanisms. It is said that the earliest pinning device originated from Lu Ban's wooden ox and flowing horse, but these are all rumors, and whether they are true or not is no longer verifiable.
"But this beheading bag actually hides the essence of the Lingchi technique. Although he is an expert at using weapons, he cannot fully understand it without knowing the Lingchi knife technique. After several years of hard work, he was able to use the beheading bag as a prototype to create another object that looks like a bird cage and can remove human heads from a distance. This is the so-called blood drop."
I was a little surprised when I heard it. Although I didn't know whether it was true or not, this secret sounded very interesting.
The woman coughed for a long time, and finally felt better. She waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this nonsense. You are a good talker, but I don't know if you can be so efficient when you really do the work."
He took a look at the strange corpse in front of him and said, "It's this corpse. You come and clean it up."
When I heard this, before I could do anything, it was Boss Ma who spoke up first and said, "Isn't this a bit too difficult?"
The muscular man also interjected: "Second sister, this is indeed too difficult."
The woman said coldly: "Where is this place? If you don't have some real skills, how can you stay here?"
The muscular man scratched his head and whispered, "Second sister, this kid has good talent. If you are willing to teach him, he should be able to share some of the burden with you."
The woman coughed a few times and sneered, "Are you looking for a clerk or a master? If you don't have the ability, get out of here and save me from wasting my time."
Seeing the woman getting angry, Boss Ma and the muscular man fell silent.
I felt someone pulling my clothes from behind. I turned around and saw it was Yan Zi. She winked at me and told me to leave quickly, otherwise my second sister would get angry and I would be in big trouble.
The essence of corpse makeup is to make the corpse look as good as possible. Anyone who sees this corpse can easily realize how difficult it is. Generally, the most difficult corpse makeup is probably for people who died tragically in a car accident, whose bodies are often severely injured and difficult to clean up. But compared to this corpse, it is nothing.
If this person's head was completely gone, then we could have done what Third Uncle did and given He Daming a cloth head, but this person just had a skull left. In addition, the most difficult thing was that the body from the neck down had suffered from severe necrosis, the body was swollen, pus was oozing and smelled bad.
No matter how sophisticated the makeup technique is, it is impossible to make such a corpse look good. So when Ma Lao Da, Yan Zi and others saw it, they knew that this recruitment was ruined again.
However, this kind of corpse is a huge problem for others, but for me, it is actually nothing special. I took a few steps forward and asked, "Where is the tool box?"
The woman seemed quite surprised. She glanced at me and said, "They are all on the shelf. You can take them as you like."
I looked over and was surprised to see that the shelf was filled with makeup tools, everything you could think of, some of which I had never even seen before.
After looking around, I only picked up a pair of scissors and didn't choose anything else, so I came back empty-handed.
A strange smile appeared on Heimao's face, perhaps he was gloating, but in front of the second sister, he didn't dare to laugh out loud, so he had to hold it back.
I put on gloves and used scissors to cut the clothes off the body. The body had already suffered from severe necrosis, with giant appearance, swelling and pus. Without scissors, it was impossible to remove the clothes.
After removing all the clothes, I carefully observed the body of the man, memorized the distribution of the ulcers, and then took out two triangular needles, one short and one long, from the syringe I carried with me.
It is impossible to apply makeup to a corpse with ulcers, but we have our own way to deal with it. We hold two three-edged needles, one short and one long, in our hands, and insert the two needles in parallel. We start from the feet and insert the needles in a reverse direction, dropping needles like rain, and prick the ulcers one by one along the meridians.
Since I was a child, I have been practicing this skill under the supervision of my uncle. I don't know how many corpses I have practiced on. This acupuncture method emphasizes that the needle should be moved once and never stop, so when I finish a needle move, it only takes a cup of tea.
I let out a long sigh, looked up, and saw that Boss Ma, Yan Zi and others were looking at me with a hint of surprise.
"How do you know how to pick out needles?" The woman looked at me with a strange expression.
I was quite surprised to hear her say that. This was the second time I had heard of the "needle picking method". The first time was in southern Xinjiang, from the dead face. I didn't expect to hear it again from this woman here.
I put the two needles back into the syringe and said, "This is my family's unique skill, not some needle picking method."
The woman coughed a few times and said, "Although my eyesight is not good, I can still see the needle method wrong."
The black-haired one shouted, " What do you know, little brat? The needle picking method is my second sister's unique skill. Where did you learn it from?"
I don't even bother to pay attention to him. If you say it's your unique skill, then it's your unique skill, right?
The woman looked at me several times and asked, " Who taught you this needle-picking technique?"
"I told you it's not a needle picking method, it's a family tradition." I was a little impatient. Finding a job is really tiring, even more tiring than taking on three jobs in a row.
When the black-haired man heard this, he was about to scold her, but the woman waved her hand and said, "It's good that you can treat the corpse with the needle-picking method. What about this man's head?"
