"I know, this is the place where children are put to death!"
"What is this called... the new baby tower!"
He nodded and said, "Yes, it is for children. However, the Xinzhai Yin Pagoda you mentioned was popular in the Qing Dynasty and is larger than this one. The Xinzhai Yin Pagoda can hold sixty to seventy children. This one cannot be used. It must be older.
."
This kind of tower for children existed in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other regions during the Qing Dynasty, and there were mainly several types.
The Orphaned Child's Tower, the New House Baby's Tower, and the Old Baby's Tower.
Guwa Tower means deceased little doll. Not many people have seen it. The shape of this tower is exactly the same as the plastic road awl used to block cars. They are both hexagonal, some are big and some are small.
The Xinzhai Yin Tower is relatively famous. There is a place called the Xinzhai Yin Tower in Pan'an. It looks like the mouth of a well, with a grassy stone slab covering it, and inside are all the dead children.
It is said that in the early 1990s, when the relevant departments of Zhejiang Province conducted the third census of cultural relics, someone opened the Xinzhai Infant Pagoda and a series of accidents occurred. I also heard what others said, and it is said to be true. It was winter at that time, and when the pagoda was opened,
On the fourth day in the tower, a female team member said she saw a little bald girl without any clothes on, crawling on the ground and following them. Later, a very powerful Taoist priest from Jiangxi came to handle this matter.
The boss said that the place we are staying now is the Orphaned Boy Tower.
Those who died of illness, died young, or drowned due to the preference for sons over daughters in feudal society. Children under two years old would be stripped of their clothes and thrown in. The small square hole is the exit of the child's soul after death.
Feeling a chill on my back, I asked the boss if there were many children's bones in this tower before you moved in.
They said there were some heads and asked them to go out, because the children's bones were soft and could not be preserved for a long time. They only saw some broken skulls, the size of steamed buns.
I bowed my hands to those around me and said, "Li Lili, don't blame me for staying here for two days. When we get out safely, I will burn some clothes and some toys for you."
Seeing this, Baotou burst into laughter, shook his head and said, "Yunfeng, you are very similar to Lao Er. He also believes this. Let's go see them. I'm a little tired."
I grabbed a handful of paprika peels on my head to add some sugar.
"Yunfeng Yunfeng, come here quickly."
I met a few of them behind the stone house.
Brother Yu has been sleeping for several days. Xiaoxuan's face is pale and her cheeks are thin. I feel a little distressed when I see it. She said she hasn't eaten in the past few days because the two bags containing her things were left in the tomb, including her head.
The soft crutch needles are all in the bag.
I said I have cucumbers here. If you eat one, the peel of the red-eyed fruit will be almost gone.
Dou Sprout said: "Fengzi, do you still have some fruit peels? Give me some quickly."
I said I won't starve you to death, so I won't eat the rest and will give it all to Brother Yu. We need to get the bag back as soon as possible.
At this time, Achun looked around nervously: "That thing often appears around the tomb. We didn't dare to go before Wen Bin woke up. The reason why I went was because I really didn't have anything to eat, and I happened to meet you."
"Currently we are hiding here safely and no one has found us."
Just as Ah Chun finished speaking, Dou Sprout Zai seemed to have seen something, and his face turned pale!
"Come...come!"
"Get in quickly!"
We all hid in the orphaned boy's tower, so nervous that we didn't dare to breathe out. I looked out through the small square hole.
I saw "Sugar Man" crawling slowly on the ground, with a woman sitting on his waist. She held a cigarette in one hand and carried a square wooden box behind her, which looked like a small medicine box.
.
My pupils constricted.
This woman is the proprietress of the canteen!
No wonder....
No wonder Tian Sanjiu couldn't find her in Xiajiang Village. It turned out that she had come down a long time ago...
The proprietress of the canteen rode the scary candy man, took a puff of her cigarette, and had a smile on her face.
She looked at the dead child, opened her mouth, and blew out a smoke ring.
