I saw my deceased son thrown casually into the freezer. Due to the small space, his upper and lower body were folded together.
Liang Lin was extremely angry, but he was calmer than when he first came in. He closed the freezer gently, not wanting others to see his son's embarrassment.
The villagers who came with him knew that the freezer contained stolen remains as soon as they saw his actions.
The man standing in the front was Liang Lin's brother. He raised his foot but was afraid of beating Old Man Peng to death, so he could only vent his anger by kicking the table next to him.
Old Man Peng's brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to escape this disaster.
Liang Lin settled his son down and sat on the chair where Old Man Peng had just sat. "Tell me, why did you steal my son's body?"
His overly calm tone made Old Man Peng mistakenly believe that there was still room for reversal. After all, he was an old man in the village and still had a certain status in the village.
Thinking of this, his expression relaxed a lot, and he was ready to use his status as an elderly person to gain forgiveness: "Liang family boy, Old Peng didn't do this on purpose.
We are all from the same village. I took care of you when you were little. If I hadn't been desperate, I would never have done such a beastly thing."
Seeing that he was still trying to argue, Liang Lin was eager to know the reason behind his actions, but he showed no sign of it. "Then what could be your motivation?"
Seeing that Liang Lin was really attracted by his reasons, Mr. Peng became bolder and told his story half-truthfully.
"Liang Lin, you also know that when Uncle Peng was young, he was an extremely strong-willed person.
At that time, I was a famous model worker in the town and had won prizes for our village.
Because I took too much care of my body when I was young, I started to have all kinds of illnesses, big and small, as soon as I reached middle age.
At first, I thought I was still young and the pain would go away if I endured it, so I didn’t think about going to the hospital.
By the time the pain became unbearable and I had to go to the hospital, my illness, which was not serious to begin with, had already become advanced.
Lin, you also know that Grandpa Peng's family conditions are not good. His two sons finally got married, but they still haven't paid off their debts.
I originally wanted to die to avoid burdening them, but I was afraid that committing suicide in the village would affect my children's reputation, so I could only live in pain every day.
But this disease is too torturous. The piercing pain every night makes it impossible to sleep. I can only take the cheapest painkillers bought from the hospital to relieve the symptoms.
Just when I was at my wit's end, a folk remedy on my phone attracted me.
After knowing about this folk remedy, I checked information on my mobile phone every day. After multiple verifications, I confirmed that the folk remedy is effective for my disease.
In order to survive, I dug up your son and used him as a medicine inducer.
But don't worry, I will not damage the integrity of his body. After all, he is my savior."
Liang Lin looked at his flickering eyes and realized that seven out of ten of his words were fabricated, but he did not expose him immediately: "Then let me ask you, what is the medicine that can be used on my son?"
Old Man Peng deliberately showed a guilty look: "The medicine is, yes, your son's brain marrow."
Before Liang Lin could say anything, his relatives and neighbors couldn't stand it anymore and started shouting, "You beast, you're going to take someone's brain and you still say you won't harm the body.
You wouldn't say you have a way to dig out the brain without cutting open a person's skull."
Old Man Peng hadn't been humiliated like this in a long time, and he looked embarrassed: "When I said I wouldn't destroy the body, I meant that I could sew it back together in the end.
When the time comes, he can wear the wig I bought for him to cover it up, and it won’t be visible at all.
Don't worry, I'm a very good sew-maker and it won't be noticed."
The man was almost amused by his matter-of-fact words: "Should we thank you for being so thoughtful?"
Liang Lin raised his hand to interrupt the argument between the two, staring at Old Man Peng with empty eyes: "I have one last question. How did you dig my son out of the grave?"
Old Man Peng evaded the main point and said, "I learned this method from TV. I started digging from a corner at night. Because the child is too young, there is no need to expose the entire coffin.
After I dug the child out, I changed him into new clothes and placed his burial clothes intact in the coffin.
I just want to let the shroud replace him first, so that when I send him back, it won’t be considered as disrupting his reincarnation path.”
After listening to Old Man Peng's story, Liang Lin walked up to him and said, "I believe what you said, but not completely. I have experts around me. If what she said is different from what you said, I will not let you go."
Old Man Peng lowered his head, as if he didn't hear his threat. He thought Peng Lin was trying to trick him. If there really was someone who could help him figure out everything, he wouldn't have to deal with him for so long.
Seeing that Old Man Peng had no intention of adding any details, Liang Lin turned his gaze to Su Yan: "Master, I still appreciate your guidance."
[The old man definitely didn't tell all the details—the intuition of a psychiatrist who had only been working for a short time.]
[I have to say, this father is really calm. If I saw my child frozen in a coffin by someone else, I would definitely kill him first.]
Am I the only one who thinks this old man's actions are forgivable? After all, the child is already dead, and using his dead body to save a living life counts as a meritorious deed.
[Secretly, I think so too. Organ donation is a thing now, so saving a family might be a good idea.]
[The two above are really something. The Leshan Giant Buddha is not as compassionate as you. If you feel pity for him, you can commit suicide to help him solve his problems.]
Su Yan looked at the still unrepentant old man Peng and said, "Only 30% of his long speeches are useful.
First of all, let’s talk about his illness. He was indeed sick, but the illness was not very serious, and the doctor’s advice was to keep taking the medicine.
But he could not accept the idea of taking medicine for life, so he thought of using folk remedies to treat the disease.
As for what he said about helping the child recover, it was nonsense. How could a person who wanted to use a deceased child to prolong his life risk being discovered and put the child back into the coffin?
I'm afraid he already has a hundred ways to deal with the corpse in his mind."
The dark side of Old Man Peng's heart was revealed. He sensed the atmosphere around him growing colder and colder, and he quickly retorted, "Whose family are you, girl? What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think an outsider like you can judge my character?"
Su Yan continued to provoke him: "Character? What kind of character can a person like you have? The character of someone who has been reselling corpses since he was young?"
