There are some county annals recorders in western Hunan who are very naughty and there are many merchants here, so there are many rumors everywhere, and they record them one by one in the county annals. They are very fun to read.

In a village group on the Xijiang border of Myanmar, there is a village called Shikong that hides a herb called "Shangcao corpse". There are two types of grass change: horizontal and vertical roots. After eating it, you can change the gender of the baby at will during the three months of pregnancy.

Shikong is a very mysterious village. He hardly intermarries outside. He gets married in close relatives very seriously. In his early years, he almost relied on selling this herb to survive. It is rare to change the grass corpse and it takes to enter the deep mountains to collect it. It is prepared by a special pharmacist. It is passed on to women but not men. The ratio of male and female men to women is almost one to one, which seems to confirm its effectiveness.

This precise and terrible gender ratio was later said to have come because of a terrible "scam". Replacing grass corpse is like a local conventional scam. In fact, when the ratio of men and women is unbalanced, in order to maintain the myth of the magic medicine for replacing grass corpse, locals will drown babies with wine at night to re-establish gender balance.

The scam was discovered because an official asked the "lost two years". The official found that a ten-hole child age structure often had children aged 3 to 4 years apart in a family, and most locals did not take contraceptive measures. According to the principle, the child's age should be closer.

But this is not the case. There are many children here who are 3 to 4 years old, and some are 5 to 6 years old. The official believes that one child is missing between the eldest son and the younger son of these families, and even some families have two children missing.

Where did these missing children go? The officials later found out that they were drowned directly by the ghost master in the village with soybean wine, and they were on the spot when the child was born.

It is said that people who drowned with soju will not be so painful.

There is also a saying that the balance between men and women in the village is the effect of changing grass corpses, because a single change of grass corpses is not useful and requires a mixture of multiple herbs. The formula of this medicine is very mysterious, and almost only a few people in the world know it. If you ask the people in the village, women will say that they are very convinced of the effect of this medicine.

The key to the effect of changing the grass corpse is that it can definitely make the gender of this baby the opposite of the first baby. Local couples usually only have two babies, one man and one woman, and no longer give birth.

There is no definite conclusion until now whether it is the cruel habit of urinating infants or the magic medicine.

On the other hand, the evidence of the body of Shikong Ugying has never been found. According to rumors, the child's body must be taken to the deep mountains and given to the mountain lady for care.

This mountain lady is very similar to the legend of the Tu Girl in western Hunan. They are all women living in the soil. Another story of the county annals records that in the deep mountains outside the Eighty-Two Villages, there was a bandit who killed people and threw people into a sinkhole, and the bodies accumulated together. Later, they were chased by the bandits and fled into the sinkhole. They saw that all the corpses they had left behind were dragged into the soil, and their flesh and blood were sucked away, and they knew that this place had become the lair of the Tu Girl.

In the corpse, there was a dying baby girl who was smelling of alcohol and was rescued by them. At first, they thought that this baby girl was a juvenile girl and she wanted to eat people when she grew up, so she wanted to go to the city for money when she grew up. Unexpectedly, the more she raised the girl, the more cute she became, and finally she developed feelings.

After the girl became an adult, she became extremely beautiful and became a famous local flower bandit. She inherited the skills of her adoptive fathers. She was extremely cruel, murdered and innocent.

Later, the bandits analyzed that this girl should have been a baby girl who was thrown into the mountains. Maybe someone from Ten Holes lived here, selling grass-changing corpses, and brought this bad habit. The girl has been active since childhood and has a high lung capacity. Soju did not drown her, but instead achieved her good alcohol tolerance.

When the girl grew up, she naturally had to find her biological parents, so she brought the thirteen bandits to Shikong Village. For some reason, she killed all the people in Shikong and finally burned the village.

The legend of changing grass corpse later evolved into various versions, and the names of herbs were also diverse, and they were circulated in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. But I still don’t know if there is really such a herb or a folk scam. I don’t know what the girl knew in the ten holes and did such an extreme thing.

Later, the girl went to Xiangxi and started with a thirteen bandit gang and founded eighty-two villages. This is the origin of the eighty-two villages. This happened more than 600 years ago.

The thirteen bandits were the thirteen chieftains at the beginning of the Eighty Two Villages. Later, the descendants merged and attacked each other, and the structure changed many times. The girl had no descendants, and the remaining twelve people were passed down later. The supreme leader of this generation was the last of the descendants of the twelve people.

Because the Eighty-Two Villages are relatively stable in western Hunan, this story is recorded in a complete manner. In addition to this story, there are several legends related to the whole thing. First, where there are local girls, a change of grass corpse will grow. Second, the supreme leader of the Eighty-Two Villages has been passed down from generation to generation and there are some things worshipped in the mountains. Only the supreme leader of the Eighty-Two Villages is qualified to know this mysterious thing.
