Can't Fool the Master Chapter 69

Maverick Chu and Caspian He met with the police dispatched by Jihuai City to Shoukang Village. They met at the temporary simple police station set up in Shoukang Village to sort out all the currently known information.

Maverick Chu looked over the situation that his colleagues had investigated in advance during the few days he and Caspian He were in the hospital. The information recorded in Shoukang Village in this book was not much different from what Maverick Chu had compiled from the murals he saw in the cellar at that time. It's just that the details need to be more perfect.

More than a hundred years ago, Shoukang Village did have a tradition of "borrowing life". The principle behind it was probably to use some kind of ritual to lend the life span of young children to the old people who were about to run out of money.

Of course, this principle has no scientific basis. It is just an ignorant and ancient inheritance at that time. It is the same reason as when people in ancient times chose to kill pigs and cattle and sheep to offer sacrifices to the sky to ask for rain when they encountered drought. It is a way of placing good wishes and for the unknown. of fear.

As early as after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the police discovered the pedantic inheritance of Shoukang Village. At that time, they conducted scientific popularization to the local villagers and detailedly explained that such things as "borrowing life" will not extend the life of the elderly. And strictly put an end to such evil behaviors, and Yongning Tower was demolished for the first time at that time.
