Recovering Corpses

Some rules are tested with human lives. Some truths sink deeper than corpses. In the Sanmen Gorge of the Yellow River, Lao Jiang is a corpse collector. The right leg is slightly lame and there are scars on the face Guarding an ancestral "Heshang Book" and a bunch of rules that are stricter than the law: If the corpse is standing upright, it will not be fished out. If it is red, it will not be fished out. If it does not sink for three days, it will not be fished out; I don't fish out the moon when I'm young, I don't fish out the hairpin flowers on a woman's body, and I don't fish out the moon on the ninth day. He thought that by observing the rules, he could separate life and death and avoid entanglements underwater. Until that foggy night when the moon was still visible, he made an exception and picked up a female corpse holding a silver dollar from the Republic of China. The silver dollar is engraved with the word "Chen" and is paired with his mother's relics. The old case of his father's mysterious drowning many years ago came to light. On the bottom of the tool box, the half copper seal from the Qing Dynasty Heguan began to get hot.
