"Back corpse picture? What is the back corpse picture?"
"I told you all about my family. Just listen to it. Don't tell others." Fang Tian looked around. There were not many passengers waiting for the boat at the ferry, and no one paid attention to the two of us. Pulling to the side, he said, "The picture of the back corpse is the treasure of our Jinyutang."
Jin Yutang looks rich and rich now, but after going back several generations, their ancestors are poor and destitute, they are corpse-back people on the river beach.
The corpse-back person specializes in cleaning the corpse, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, as long as it is time to work, they have to work. It's a very dirty and very tiring job that most people can't do. We corpse scavengers often deal with corpses, but they can rest for three or four months a year. Corpse-carrying people are different. They don’t have time to relax.
The corpse-backers are the same as the corpse collectors. Some corpse-backers are hired to clean up the corpses in one place. For example, there are too many dead people, the corpses are piled up together, and the weather is cold. It’s okay when the weather is hot, and the corpse rots, it is likely to cause a plague. At this time, the government or the gentry would pay to hire some corpse-backers, clean up the corpses and carry them away, carry them to a suitable place, dust them with lime, and then burn them on fire.
And some corpse-backers stay in places like Ximiao, Hanging Corpse Cliff. When someone needs to take away the corpses of their relatives, but they can’t get their hands off, the corpse-backers go to help. Some can still Transport the body back to the home of the deceased.
This job is not easy to do. Although it doesn't require any craftsmanship and has some strength, after the corpse decays, most people don't talk about carrying the corpse, and they will spit out the gall at a glance.
The ancestor of Jin Yutang was a corpse-backer, but by chance, he accidentally discovered the secret that the corpse plot was able to pan for gold. I scoured some gold, got money, and then let go of it. By the time Jinyutang passed on to the second generation, the technique of gold mining was already very proficient.
Everyone knows that Jin Yutang bought gold from the corpse plot, but no one else can find the corpse plot. Moreover, even if they find it after all the hard work, they don’t know how to get it from the corpse plot. Gold panning, this is the secret of Jin Yutang.
The ancestors of Jin Yutang left a painting. That painting was called the "back corpse map." This painting is in the hands of the masters of the past dynasties. Over time, an unwritten rule was formed. Which Fang family's line of the corpse was in the hands of the corpse, then this person was the head of Jin Yutang.
Fang Tian's father, Fang Guanyun, is a relatively weak person, who does not fight for fame or gain. He has a son and a daughter, his daughter is Fang Tian, and his son is Fang Tian's brother, Fang Meng.
During the decades when Fang Tian’s father was the head of the house, Jin
Yutang went smoothly without any major ups and downs. But when he was in his later years, he was always troubled by one thing, that is, to whom the next head of the house was passed on.
Fang Tian Fang Meng is a female compatriot, but her temperament is quite different. Fang Meng is irritable, aggressive, unscrupulous, and quite public. From the perspective of the chief director, Fang Meng took over Jin Yutang, and the prospects were dire. There is no rule in Jin Yutang that the head of the family must be done by a man. The gangsters on the big river beach have not always paid attention to this set, and there are not few families where women are the masters. It’s just that the previous generations of Fang’s patrons were men, and there was no precedent for a woman to be the leader. Fang Guanyun wanted to support Fang Tian, but he was afraid that everyone would not accept it. After a few years, his health was deteriorating and he was no longer able to govern.
At this point, Jin Yutang was hit by a big fire. The fire was so fierce that almost half of the Jin Yutang was destroyed. The fire was finally extinguished, but during the disaster, the picture of the corpse that had been kept in Fang Guanyun's hands was stolen.
Everyone knows that this must be the ghost of Jin Yutang, but nothing can be found for the time being. Fang Guanyun was anxious and angry, and died within a few days. Before he died, he had no time to specify who would take over Jin Yutang.
"I didn't want to fight with my brother, but he deceived too much." Fang Tian said this, biting her lip gently: "Can't tolerate me, I'm not angry, so I want to fight with him."
Both of them are direct descendants of the Fang family, and they are supported by a part of the family. They are arguing about who is the head of the family. The most important thing is that the picture of the corpse on the back is lost. Without this picture, the position of the owner of the family is unstable. Therefore, in the past two or three years, both Fang Tian and Fang Meng have been trying their best to investigate the whereabouts of the back corpse map.
Not long ago, Fang Tian got news that the corpse-back picture was said to be in the hands of a small bandit in Gaoyangpo, and Fang Meng had already sent someone to grab it in advance. Fang Tian immediately brought people to rush here. She and Fang Meng had been fighting for so long, and there were people around each other. Fang Tian's eyeliner was among the people Fang Meng sent to capture the picture. The eyeliner was seriously injured in the picture, and he desperately sent the news back before he died.
The people Fang Meng sent out to capture the picture almost died with the sand bandits. Only that Hao San, who survived to the end, took the corpse picture and left Gaoyangpo, wanting to rush back to Jin Yutang.
Fang Tian received the news, and Fang Meng must have received it too. Both groups were trying their best to find Hao San.
When I heard this, I secretly gave a wry smile again. It was just such a coincidence that I found Hao San, who was seriously injured, as if by a mismatch. If this were not the case, this matter would not involve me in any way.
When Hao San was dying, he wanted to report to Fang Meng’s people, but Fang Tian happened to be nearby, before Fang Meng’s people.
When I arrived at Hao San's body, I was also caught.
Hao San found it, but the corpse-back picture was not on him. There is no doubt that the person who seriously injured Hao San snatched the corpse-back picture.
No wonder, Fang Tian told me at the time that she didn't care about Hao San's death with me, as long as I handed over the corpse picture, the matter would be over. Hao San was Fang Meng's person, dead and alive, and had nothing to do with Fang Tian.
"Didn't the Su family's yin lady have asked about it?" I asked Fang Tian, "Others don't know who killed Hao San, Hao San himself should know."
"Well, Guo Yinpo asked the person who killed Hao San from his corpse."
"Yes... Who is it?" I asked, but this incident is of vital importance to Jin Yutang, so I quickly added: "The corpse figure is killing Hao San's murderer. Here, telling the murderer is equivalent to revealing the whereabouts of the corpse map. If it is not convenient to say, forget it. I am just curious, so I just ask casually."
"What are you explaining? I can't believe you." Fang Tian paused, looked at me again, and said: "You don't know me well, but I was in trouble. You refused to go. You tried to save me. I fainted. If you have a fever, you don’t know anything, and you... You didn’t take advantage of others. I can trust you naturally.”
"I'm embarrassed about what you said." I scratched my head: "I am not a hero and knight. At that time... I couldn't tell why at the time, and I couldn't bear to watch you die."
"The person who killed Hao San, I have asked you. He is a corpse scavenger called Fu Qiandeng." Fang Tian frowned slightly and said, "We Jin Yutang didn't deal with the corpse scavenger before. This is Fu Qian. I don’t know where to find the lamp."
"Yeah, there is a huge crowd, it is difficult to find someone." I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart. Although I had guessed before, now listening to Fang Tian personally say it still makes me uneasy, I dare not let it She saw the strange expression on me, and the interface said: "But let's let this matter go first. You don't have a foothold in Jinyutang anymore. Now, I want to resolve the contradiction between you and your brother first. ."
"There is nothing to resolve." Fang Tian's fist immediately squeezed: "Do you think there is any room for resolution? If he is still thinking about brother and sister, he won't ask anyone to kill me!"
"Then you? What do you want to do? Go to that Fei Shanhan and join hands to deal with your brother?"
"I..." Fang Tian was quite annoyed when she mentioned that she was being chased, but when I asked it out, she hesitated again: "I hate it in my heart now, but if it comes time to find him to settle the account, I will probably do it again. Be soft-hearted... After all, he and I are born as a mother... But Jin Yutang is not his own property. Even if I don't avenge this revenge, I will bring back those belonging to me."
