There is even a saying that has been handed down:"Even if a woman has a thousand kinds of poison, the most poisonous is the turtle woman."
So,"Turtle Woman"What exactly?
The history of the profession can be traced back to ancient China, especially in the Zhejiang provinces, where they mainly went out in their spare time as farmers in order to earn extra money.
Initially, their actions were limited to making puppets and profiting from themBut because many people don't think this approach is effective enough, they turn to bigger opportunities.
You must know that in ancient Chinese society, women had a low status and had few formal careers to choose from, and their main duty was to marry and raise children, and played an important role in the family.
However, a special profession recorded in Qing dynasty documents -"Turtle women" have become a way for some middle-aged and elderly women who are poor, widowed or have lost their spouses to earn a living.
Ancient cultures revered the virtue of chastity, and women mostly focused on fulfilling household obligations and raising children.
In addition to marital autonomy, there are generally no other job opportunities, and some elderly widows become the nucleus of lonely families because of their husbands' deaths in battle or other reasonsAfter losing their support, they had to try to solve the problem of making ends meet.
"Turtles" are a type of person who is good at using witchcraft and has some esoteric knowledge.
This belief originated from people's unique perception of the stars and their mystical powers, and eventually evolved into a symbol of the basalt—a star with a head that resembles a turtle.
In the past, such beliefs were considered persuasive and many criminals used them to defraud money.
While there is no shame in this, many people resort to more dangerous methods of mutilating the lives of others.
According to Qing dynasty documents, some women would gather together to engage in turtle climbing activities in their spare time from agriculture, and such teams were organized in a well-organized manner, and the members cooperated with each other to make full use of their talentsAnd a good tongue to guide them to greater gains.
Although they initially only made money by selling magic talismans to wealthy customers, they were clearly not satisfied with this and wanted to expand their business.
Over time, their incomes have increased dramatically and their lives have improved.
But their greed is also deepening, and in order to expand, they even began to use the turtle shell as a valuable tool, pretending to be a master, and taking to the streets to calculate the fate of others.
As long as there is a business that can be made with money, they will reach into it.
They found a method for an experienced old Chinese medicine doctor to obtain ** teeth, combined with the name of the turtle, to form another set of "Chinese medicine to dispel diseases", and this method allowed them to obtain better economic benefits.
It is said that in the early 18th century, there were already groups similar to "turtle crawlers" in the eastern and southern coastal areas of Zhejiang Province, who walked the countryside in plain clothesEngage customers with mythical storytelling.
There are also rumors that they have found a secret method of Chinese medicine in the town, which can use injections to erode people's caries and profit from it.
In the process of the development of the "turtle woman", various forms of crime naturally appeared, including deceiving customers into spending large amounts of money through fictitious and fake informationand use increasingly sophisticated mechanisms to induce victims to pay more again.
And the news they lie about often includes marital disasters, property damage, etc., which is enough to make people fear and trigger further psychological panic.
Gradually, more and more poor people rely on this "signboard" to create wealth.
The ancients:"It's hard to fill the craze"In the context of the feudal era, some people would go down the path of extreme greed, looking for various ways to gain wealth.
One of the most unconscionable is called"Turtle Woman"of the profession.
According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, Ziheche is a precious medicinal material, and the main material is the human placenta.
Those"Turtle Woman"After learning about this, he began to think of a way to get some placenta.
However, placenta is not something that comes casually, it must be acquired at the time of childbirth.
As a result, there is a turtle woman who plays the role of a stable woman, mainly responsible for helping to deal with the affairs of mothers and newborns, which seems to be ordinary, but gradually embarks on the road of crime.
In order to pursue profits, they are treacherous, set up a bureau to defraud and ** pregnant women, illegally obtain their property and placenta, they often disguise themselves as kind old people or doctors, and deceive the trust of pregnant womenAnd took the opportunity to anesthetize it and **, extremely brutal.
Gradually, as the number became insufficient, they began to use more egregious ways to enrich themselves, using medical anesthetics to confuse pregnant women, and quickly removing the placenta after killing their mothers, and selling them for profit.
Another weird way to do this is to induce ignorant mothers to agree to let their children go with them by claiming that they can make their children's future betterThe result is that these poor children are resold into harsh conditions.
But as the demand grows, they become more and more crazy, and even directly kill people and sell them, and they also involve human trafficking, mutilating countless innocent lives.
They also have some more advanced techniques, the most common of which is to deceive the master's trust by playing a feng shui master or other identityDeclare that there is some calamity in the family that needs to be removed.
Then, they fled with the victim's belongings, and only returned for half a year or even a year to inform them, by which time the victim's body had long since disappeared.
Not only that, but there are also more unbearable methods, such as controlling girls from poor families or setting up schemes to defraud other people's familiesso that it can be used for self-consumption or for fun.
To make matters worse, this mysterious and cruel group of women lured other women into participating in commercial smuggling, and even sent their children to live in other people's homes, a disguise called "buddy learning" to hide their true intentionsIt's hard to tell.
And the turtle woman has many secrets that no one knows, one of which is that child abduction and trafficking has become one of the ways for them to make money.

It can be said that these people are also very good at understanding the psychology of ordinary people, especially the mentality of some poor parents who are eager to change their fateAnd then recruit their children** into these fraud groups.
It is said that during the Qianlong period, there were frequent cases of lost and murdered pregnant women among the people, which also attracted great attention from the imperial court, so it ordered a thorough investigation.
The government has launched a large-scale law enforcement operation in responseMany suspects were arrested and severely punished.
These turtle crawling women are naturally natural, unscrupulous for money, often abducting and selling women and children, and disregarding people's lives.

After that, these wicked women ruthlessly disemboweled the victim alive and removed the son from the womb.
Sometimes pregnant women wake up in severe pain, and turtle women will mercilessly beat them to death, and they will even cruelly throw their newborns to wild dogs to eat in an attempt to cover up their crimes.
This heinous cruelty caused even the ** to cry when they heard it.
For a while, the government and the opposition were condemning these vicious poisonous women, believing that even if they were severely punished, it would be difficult for the people to be angry.
Because of this, there is a saying that "even if a woman has a thousand poisons, the most poisonous is the 'turtle crawling woman'".
