We all know that each place has its own city and county chronicles, which record the historical history of this place and some major events, because it is compiled by the government, so it has a high authority and collection value.
Moreover, the compilation of county records must be based on factual evidence, so the things recorded in them are true and reliable. In the "Chronicle of Jinghai County" and the "Chronicle of Tianjin County", many strange events that occurred in the folk were recorded.
One of them is a tragic case that occurred during the Guangxu period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the suspect in the case was actually a fifteen-year-old girl, whose crime was so vicious that it was heinous, and the metaphor behind it was thought-provoking.
Case within case
Buddhists always say "karma, reincarnation of the Heavenly Path", and there is a causal connection between all things, just like this case that occurred during the Guangxu years, people at first thought it was just a simple accident, but later found that it was a link.
It is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a place called Tangguantun, which was a small mountain village a hundred miles away from the metropolis of Tianjin, which was under the jurisdiction of Jinghai County at that time. One day in June 1880, an accident occurred in this small village.
That afternoon, it suddenly rained heavily in the village, and lightning and thunder sounded. A little girl was walking on the road and was drenched in a soup chicken, and then she ran home to avoid the rain. Unexpectedly, just after returning home, a bolt of lightning fell on her.
This split not only killed the little girl, but also scorched half of her body. After the rain, the villagers found the body of the little girl, and they were heartbroken to see this miserable death. Because this little girl was only fifteen years old, it was the time of great age.
Due to the early death of the little girl's parents, there was no one in the house. All the villagers helped her to collect and bury her, and when they moved the body, suddenly a silver object fell from her, and people picked it up and looked at it as a long-lived lock.
This is strange, the longevity lock is the mascot that people are accustomed to wearing for newborns, and it is the wish of parents to hope that he can live a long life and grow up healthily. However, this long-life lock is generally worn until the age of two or three years old, and it will be taken down by the parents and treasured in the box.
This little girl was already fifteen years old, so why did she wear the longevity lock on her body? However, at that time, the silversmith in the village was on the scene, and people took long-life locks for him to see. But the silversmith was actually shocked after seeing it: "Isn't this what I called for the children of Zhao Dagui's family at the head of the village?" ”
After he said this, everyone present showed a frightened expression, because just two or three months ago, Zhao Dagui's family had all died tragically.
A family of three died mysteriously
Zhao Dagui is an honest farmer in the village, because of family difficulties, he married his daughter-in-law at a very old age, and his biggest wish in life is to have a child. But he had been married to his wife for many years and had nothing to do, and every day he was anxious to catch fire.
Perhaps God took pity on this poor couple, and when Zhao Dagui was 41 years old, he actually waited for the good news that his wife was pregnant! This can make Zhao Dagui happy, and he greets his wife every day and takes good care of him.
Ten months after the pregnancy, the child that the couple wanted to wear was finally born safely, and it was still an eight-pound fat boy. Zhao Dagui, who was old and had a son, was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and took out all his savings to set up a flowing water mat at home for three days.
With a son, there is hope, in order to support the child Zhao Dagui had to go to the home of a large family to do short-term work, although it is dirty and tiring work, but his heart is beautiful every day, thinking that as long as his son can live a good life in the future, everything is worth it.
The people in the village all envied Zhao Dagui and said that he was a fool with a foolish fortune. But what I didn't expect was that not long after the birth of the child, Zhao Dagui suddenly went crazy. One evening, Zhao Dagui ran out of the house crying and laughing, he ran straight to the well at the head of the village and plunged into it, but the people in the village wanted to stop it but it was too late.
When everyone worked together to catch him up, they found that he had already lost his breath, and the terrified villagers rushed to Zhao Dagui's house to find out the cause of the incident, but as soon as they entered the door, they saw his wife hanging on the beam in the house, and she hanged herself.
Later, the villagers looked around again and found that their children were missing. Just when everyone thought that the two of them might have lost their children and were looking for short-sightedness, one person opened the cauldron of his house and screamed bitterly.
Everyone rushed over to look at it, and this look sucked in a cold breath, only to see that the "missing" child was being boiled in a pot at the moment, and the skin and meat were all boiled, in addition to the child's body, there was some chicken next to it.
This scene is really unbearable to see, Zhao Dagui's family of three strange deaths, the reason is also intriguing. Everyone thought about it for a long time and couldn't understand it, because Zhao Dagui was honest and had no enemies at all, who treated them so cruelly?
Case Discussion
After the death of Zhao Dagui's family, this unbearable death method made everyone in the village feel uneasy. Because everyone can't guess the reason, they think about superstition. It wasn't until the fifteen-year-old girl was killed by lightning that the case broke through the fog and revealed the truth.
Since Zhao Dagui's family had been dead for so long, why was the longevity lock on his child in the hands of this little girl? That could only mean that this long life lock had reached the hands of the little girl before the death of the three members of their family.
Because at that time, when the villagers collected the corpses for Zhao Dagui's family, they found that the long-life lock on the child's body was missing, if it was thrown in the pot and boiled, but it was impossible to cook something that was silver. The only thought was to be stolen.
Now it is obvious that this little girl stole the long life lock, so why did she steal it? Later, after everyone's analysis, a conclusion was drawn: in order to retaliate against Zhao Dagui, the little girl not only threw his child into the pot to cook, but also took away his longevity lock.
This analysis is not unreasonable, because the little girl usually raises some chickens and ducks by herself, and that day her family just lost a chicken, and she was looking for it everywhere in the village.
It just so happened that Zhao Dagui's house was stewing a pot of chicken that day, and there was still a field of chicken feathers outside the house. The little girl may think that Zhao Dagui stole her chicken, and her heart is ashamed and angry, so she decides to come to the door to theorize, but when she arrives at Zhao Dagui's house, there is no one.
At that time, Zhao Dagui's wife was borrowing shoe samples from the neighbor's house and talking to the other party for a few words, which was also confirmed by the neighbor.
At this moment, the little girl arrived at Zhao Dagui's home, looked for a circle of no one, saw the smell of chicken soup wafting out of the pot, she picked up the baby on the bed and threw it into the pot in one breath, and then flew away.
Then Zhao Dagui's wife borrowed the shoe sample and returned home and went directly to the kitchen to see if the chicken was stewed, but when she opened the lid of the pot, she actually saw her son. She watched the tragic condition of her child for a while and could not stand the blow and committed suicide.
Zhao Dagui came back from work to witness all this and the whole person collapsed, so there was a scene where he went crazy. Because the little girl committed such a heinous act, God cleaned her up, and the death was very tragic.
Of course, the course and reason of these things are also the speculation of the villagers, and now there is no proof of death, and the truth has been buried forever. Through this incident, people also know that karma may really exist, and being a good person will get good rewards.
