Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 171: Dead Ghost or Poor Ghost, Which is Scarier?
Upon hearing that there was something to eat, Jiang Tian, a spectator, immediately climbed onto the back of Han Jisong's tricycle.
Sit down on the small bench and wait for the first-hand news from Mr. Han, the owner of the melon.
This time Jiang Tian guessed wrong. What Han Jisong told her was not some fresh melon, but an old melon.
There is a village under Shuangfeng Town, called Nanqiao Village. It is a bit far from the town, but it takes less than ten minutes to ride a tricycle to Grandma Hu's Zongzi workshop.
There was an old couple in Nanqiao Village. Because the man was infertile, the couple adopted a little girl from a relative's home. They raised her like their own daughter and spoiled her very much.
This family was lucky in times gone by. In that era, children from families with "good backgrounds" like the old couple had the opportunity to be recommended to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
The girl was pretty and even better at studying. Her adoptive father had accidentally saved the only child of the village chief a few years ago. The village chief was also a kind-hearted man, so he wanted to make his benefactor rich - he recommended the girl to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University!
Originally, this girl could have completely changed her fate with this opportunity. In that era, those who were recommended to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University were all from good families, and many of them crossed the class lineage and married into high-ranking officials' families because of their good family background.
But this girl was obsessed with love, so she gave this opportunity to a male educated youth who was sent down from the village!
The village chief was almost mad.
In order to repay his gratitude, he did not even recommend his own son. As a result, the girl gave the opportunity to go to college to that city boy who seemed restless.
The subsequent story is simply a modern version of Chen Shimei. After the boy was recommended to go to college, he really hooked up with a female classmate from a prominent family in college.
But he was afraid that the girl would go to the school to find him. No one expected that this cruel-hearted man was not satisfied with abandoning the girl who was willing to give up something for him. In order to eliminate future troubles, he found a madman from somewhere, brought the madman to the village, lied to him that he would give him firecrackers, and set a fire in the middle of the night, locking the girl's family in the house and burning them to death.
This man thought that what he did was unnoticed by anyone. Anyway, the person who set the fire and killed people was a mentally ill person. Could the court still sentence this mentally ill person to death?
It’s a pity that this man’s good luck may have run out when he replaced the girl to go to college.
He was lucky to meet a girl who was obsessed with love, but unfortunately he met a brother who doted on his sister.
The man only knew that the girl he dated in college came from a wealthy family and her father and brother were both powerful people, but he didn't know that the girl's brother was a police officer.
As early as when he was pursuing this girl, the girl's brother had already hired someone to investigate his background thoroughly.
Including how he was recommended to go to university despite his poor background .
However, the girl’s brother never imagined that this man could be so cruel to his benefactor.
The man thought he had planned a perfect accidental fire accident, but before he even got back to school, he was stopped by several police officers on his return long-distance bus.
When Jiang Tian heard the word arson, her face darkened and she suddenly thought of Jiang Lesheng.
Thinking back, didn’t Jiang Lesheng do the same thing back then? He wanted to fake an accidental fire and burn the three members of his family to death?
Fortunately, they were lucky. At the most dangerous moment, Han Jisong risked his life to rescue the mother and daughter.
"What happened next? Was this cruel, ungrateful villain sentenced to death?"
Han Jisong smiled: "They caught the perpetrators red-handed and killed three people. What do you think?"
Even if this man insisted on quibbling after being caught, saying that he did not do it, and that it was clearly the madman who lit the firecrackers and set the thatched hut on fire, he forgot that a madman could not have planned and arranged such a perfect "fire accident"...
Inciting murder, and in the process of carrying out the crime, helping the madman to buy firecrackers and matches, and even locking the door of the girl's house from the outside. If this cannot be sentenced to death, then the state law is too lenient towards these extremely evil villains.
Jiang Tian suddenly thought of a "child murder case" she saw on the Internet in her previous life.
A man who had divorced his wife, just because his new girlfriend could not tolerate his two children with his ex-wife, at the urging and suggestion of his girlfriend, pushed his two children from the 15th floor with his own hands, and killed his own children!
Jiang Tian clearly remembered that later these two worse than beasts were also sentenced to death.
After finishing eating this old melon, Han Jisong told Jiang Tian in detail about the situation of the land.
"That piece of land is where the arson happened. Although many years have passed, the villagers still have some taboos about it. They usually don't go there to pick wild vegetables."
"I've been there and seen that piece of land is really nice. It's close to the river, so it's very convenient to use water. It's also high ground, so it won't be flooded even if the water rises."
"Of course, the most important thing is that it's cheap. I asked around and no one in the village wants that piece of land. If you want it, you can buy the slopes on both sides of the land, invite the village cadres to dinner, give them some gifts, and you should be able to buy it for three to five hundred yuan."
When Jiang Tian heard that it only cost three or five hundred yuan, she immediately forgot all her taboos.
Han Jisong found it funny that she valued money over her life, and teased her on purpose: "Are you really not afraid? Three people died in that place."
Jiang Tian said with a sad face: What is a dead ghost afraid of? She is still a poor ghost. We are all ghosts, so it is not certain who is afraid of whom.
Han Jisong laughed out loud.
After laughing, I told her that, in fact, the fire that year did not burn the girl and her family of three to death on the spot. After they were rescued by the villagers, they were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Later, they died due to inhaling excessive smoke and burn infection.
It's just that the villagers were bored and had no gossip, so they could only "artistically process" the old gossip, and they almost turned this tragedy into an injustice that will be remembered for ages.
In fact, Han Jisong found out after asking someone that the scene of the arson case that year was not as bloody and cruel as rumored.
It's just a village, and those who understand will understand that such a horrific family massacre may not happen in more than ten years. It's just like those classic online novels that have been treasured on the bookshelf by book lovers and are reluctant to delete. When they are out of books, they can't help but take them out and read them again.
The same is true for Nanqiao Village. This family-annihilation tragedy is simply a "reserved program" for the villagers' daily gossip. There is no new gossip, so they just dig out this old melon, artistically process it, and review it again...
