Chapter 1129: Numb Human Nature
Sure enough, at my instigation, all these echoes in the audience echoed me and said, "That's it, you can't cheap that wild man, you can't do it!!"
The patriarch saw that his own people were led astray by me, an outsider, so he immediately raised his hand to me and said, "It's not your turn to intervene in our affairs, a foreigner, where did you come from!!"
Can people in the past decide a woman's life and death so easily? Not to mention whether their status is low, but that is also a life?
But seeing the dead anger on the patriarch's face, I had no choice but to endure the evil anger in my heart, and then forced out a smile and said to everyone, "Don't you want to know who this man is?
As I said this, my eyes quickly swept over everyone present, and found that none of their faces matched the facial expressions that an adulterer should have, except for curiosity or doubt. And as far as these goods under the stands, none of them are worthy of Xia He who would rather risk his life to protect.
At this time, I suddenly saw the corners of the patriarch's mouth twitch slightly, and I immediately knew in my heart that it seemed that the patriarch must know who this person was......
So I whispered to a "dead ghost" next to me, "Big brother, do you have any children?"
When the man heard this, his eyebrows fluttered and he said, "Of course there is, the patriarch has three sons, all of whom are the best among the people, especially the second young master, who was just sent out by the patriarch to stay abroad!!"
I listened and hurriedly asked him, "When was it just now?
The man gave me a strange look, probably thinking that I didn't look at the excitement in front of me, why did I have to chase after the son of the patriarch of the human family and ask? But he still answered me honestly, "I was sent away three days ago, although it was a bit sudden, but the second young master has always been going to school in the provincial capital, and it is a matter of time before he goes to Liuyang." ”
After hearing this, I nodded and said, "What about the remaining two young masters?
"The eldest young master has now opened a ticket number in the provincial capital, and he has also married the daughter of the magistrate, although the third young master is still young, can he still be bad after being born in such a family?" the man said with envy.
When I heard this, I thought to myself, it seems that this adulterer must be between the eldest young master and the second young master, if it wasn't for the patriarch's heart, how could he deal with Xia He in a hurry?
At this time, there were also people in the crowd who were not stupid, because the whole village could enter the men with Xia He's eyes, but I was afraid that there were only two young masters in the patriarch's family. So immediately, some people began to discuss, why did the second young master leave in such a hurry, and why did the eldest young master rarely come back recently......
As more and more people talked about it, the patriarch's face began to become more and more ugly, until an old lady with a wrinkled face was helped out, and she knew that she was not a good kind by looking at the fierce appearance on her face.
Sure enough, the old lady pointed at Xia He who was prostrate on the ground in a sharp voice and said, "You slut, don't say anything about killing my son, and you still hook up with wild men all day long to do unscrupulous things, today I don't care if I can catch that adulterer, this woman will die! According to the rules of the clan, if a man and a woman commit adultery, the man will be burned to death with the lamp turned on; the woman will be put into a pig cage and sink into the lake, and today I will sink this slut into the lake, otherwise what face will our Liu family's chastity archway stand at the entrance of the village!!"
As soon as I heard that this old lady seemed to be Xia He's mother-in-law, I saw that she had a sallow face, and she must be a widow all year round. Even if she has suffered all her life, she still requires her daughter-in-law to be the same as herself, it seems that her heart has already become distorted.
When the people in the audience heard the old lady say this, they shouted again, "Sink the lake! sink the lake!"
In fact, I also understand that my words can't change anything at all, because these things have already happened, and it seems that the resentment that trapped these villagers came from Xia He, who was sunk in the lake.
Although I have the heart to save people, no one can change the history that has happened, and I can't do anything else except be a good witness...... At this time, I watched with some gloom as Xia He on the stage was erected by several mothers-in-law and stuffed into a bamboo cage, which seemed to be the famous "pig cage".
I really can't bear to continue watching, but I don't want to leave now, because I want to wait and see if the man Xia He guarded with his life will finally appear?
"Are you going to wait for him any longer?" Xia He's voice sounded faintly in my ears.
I looked back in surprise and saw Xia He in the pavilion reappearing beside me, and she looked indifferently at "herself" being carried away by these people in front of her in a pig cage......
He ...... Did it show up at last?" I asked in a deep voice.
Xia He smiled sadly at first, then shook his head and said, "No ......"
"No?!" I felt a sour feeling when I heard this, and felt that such a unilateral love was really worth it, but I still asked her, "Do you hate him?"
I thought that Xia He would hate this man very much, but she shook her head with a relieved face and said, "I know he must have a compelling reason......
When I heard this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, what a good woman, and at this time I still loved that cowardly man in my heart...... It's ridiculous to think about, what is the last resort reason to be greater than the life and death of your lover!? You can't even protect your beloved, how can you deserve Xia He to love him?
I suddenly felt a heartache in my heart, although I don't know what the feelings in my heart are, is it envy or jealousy? I can't tell, in short, I really feel that Xia He is so worthless, to die for such a useless man......
I looked at Xia He's beautiful side face, and a question suddenly arose in my heart, if Xia He has no resentment in his heart, then who is so resentful that he can trap everyone's souls at the bottom of the lake?
In the end, I couldn't bear to see Xia He being strangled to sink into the lake, so I turned around and left the villagers who were still shouting excitedly, these people were so numb!! Not only did they not sympathize with Xia He, but they were also looking forward to seeing her sunk in the lake, and their faces were as happy as the festival!
