"Huh? Is that what you want to ask?"
"Well, yeah, we want to get a full picture, and anything you know can tell us."
"Oh... I've never heard of dead people, but I've dug up dead people... This is quite strange. It was originally set aside as a farm, almost. At the beginning, it was reclaimed... It can't be considered reclaimed. In the early years, it was a farm, but , after the war, and then the founding of the country, there were a lot of things. The land over there was basically freed up, and no one took care of it. Just some of us, who were nearby, would occupy a little bit of the space over there. Sometimes we were too busy. , just left uncultivated, no matter what. At that time, the older generation was quite hard-working and could endure hardship, but there were few people and no machines, so it was not possible... It was almost a re-cultivation. Part of it was done by soldiers, and part of it was done by soldiers. We were doing it, and part of it was done by the reform-through-labor prisoners. There were a few machines, but with an area of more than 100,000 acres, a few machines wouldn’t be enough. To be honest, later on, when there were more machines, I didn’t think so anymore. It was true at that time that manpower Ah. There are also those prisoners in the labor camp. Many of them have never farmed before. They are all new and unskilled. In short, it’s just... that’s about it. So... um... but it’s also quite strange. "
"The strange thing is..."
"Oh, even when the reclamation was started at that time, no one heard of any dead people being dug up. Later, it was over, it was no longer a labor camp, and the land was divided, and I didn't hear anything about it... I didn't hear anything about it for so many years. I waited until the year of , the last piece of labor reform farm was not done anymore. The land over there belongs to our village and needs to be divided... The village originally wanted to introduce some... some fruit, I forgot the name. Foreign ones, they sold like crazy. Also. It is said that experts have been invited to see it and discussed with the city government. If we can plant it here, the whole village can plant it together. It is also nonsense. What kind of land is next to Minqing? The land that is divided is given to private individuals and other people. The government farms were all closed down later, so it would be great to open a factory. We just don’t have the technology or the capital, otherwise we could still open a factory.”
"You mentioned that the land was allocated to the village."
"Yes, that's right. We were assigned to the village, and the village organized a group of fields for farming. We had to plow one side, weed and fertilize, that's all. Machines were used at that time. It was a big project, 30,000 acres. Well, how long will this person work? There are not enough manpower. Just use the machine to plow once, and then the house over there needs to be demolished and rebuilt. In some places, the machine has made it too rough. We still have to do some tinkering. This is a weird thing. We have been cultivating the land for so many years, but the plowing was not very deep before and the things we planted were different. But after decades, someone should have discovered something? ? I was surprised that there was no one there. After we plowed the land, we dug a hole and prepared it for planting. It was not much deeper than before, and we dug out something."
"Were the bodies dug up?"
"No, it's a bone. At first, the boy named Zhuang who lived there dug up a bone and thought it was a dog bone. Xu Gen's family kept dogs and ate dog meat. Just say it's wrong, dog bones are not like that. Some people also said cow bones and pig bones, but no one took them seriously. Later, someone dug out bones again. In just a few days, many bones were dug out, and no one thought it was wrong. We went to the village to find the police. The police came... The police here have never seen a dead person. Who knows what it is? I can’t figure it out. They said we are boring and just dig out the bones when we find them. In the farmland, there are cattle and sheep, as well as pigs. What's so strange about bones? That young man, give us a lesson. Hey! Not two hours after he left, we dug up again. This time Awesome! Guess what you dug up?"
"Is it a distinctive skeleton?"
"Yes! Head! We dug up the head! Skull! Now you understand! It's human! The bones are human! Don't you think this is a big deal? When the little policeman was called, the person was stupid. No The only way is to report it to the higher authorities. No one here understands it. People came from higher ups and left with the bones. They also asked us many questions. They surrounded the land and found people to dig hard. It took several days to dig. , nothing was found. The news came back that it was human bones, all human bones, that is, not the human bones of us people, it is not a case."
"what do you mean… "
"That's called a cultural relic. Human bones from hundreds of years ago, that's a cultural relic. Tell me about this, isn't it evil? It's been planted for decades but has not been dug out. We dug it out just a few days after we started work."
"Well. How did you deal with this incident?"
"I don't know. It seems to have been sent to the museum, right? An old professor came over later and said there might be something in the ground here. After struggling for a long time, they found nothing. They looked at the pit where the bones were dug out and said something was wrong. . This matter didn’t even appear in the newspapers. It seems, I mean it seems, some of them said that this was done by grave robbers, do you understand?”
"Were those human bones brought here by tomb robbers?"
"That's pretty much what it means. We don't have anything here. Those old professors said we shouldn't have anything here either. It's never been recorded. Those bones may have been brought from other places. Except for a few bones, there's nothing else. . This cultural relic is no longer valuable. If you were the emperor’s bones, it would be different, right?”
"Well, that's understandable. Did anything special happen after the bones were dug out?"
"oh… "
"What did you think of?"
"Well... there is something, I don't know if it is true or not. I have never experienced it myself, but someone in the village said that there were people walking outside at night, not just one or two, but many people stamping on the ground. . They said it was a march of ghosts... Hey, this thing... I have never heard of it, nor have any of my family members, but what those people said is true. That Zhao Datou was even ill and said It was no longer possible and he was about to die. He left his house and land behind and fled for his life into the city."
"Did he hear the marching ghosts?"
"That's what he said. I think it's nonsense. Some of them also talked about ancient battlefields, mass graves and so on. When the old professor came, he said there was no such history. Who knows what happened to them. Anyway, I It’s fine, my family is fine too, they haven’t heard anything.”
"Are many people hearing this sound?"
"Zhao Datou was the first one. After he spread the news, no one said anything. If you ask me, he was confused and frightened himself."
"Is he among the people who dug up the bones? I mean, the people who dug up the bones with their own hands."
"No, not him. He is just a sick person. He always says that he feels uncomfortable here and hurts there. He is just such a person, and he has fooled many people."
"Can I ask for his full name and contact information?"
"You want to ask him about this? He moved to the city and lost contact with us. He is hiding. His son, his son came back later, built a house, opened an Internet cafe and a small supermarket. You want to ask, find That’s it for him.”
