113. Chapter 113
After this time, no matter how the old city lord's three views were shattered, he finally faced up to the title on the post, Shao Yunhua was a deputy envoy, not a vassal, he never thought that a woman could also take on the position of a leader, and the city lord's wife on their side could also follow the city lord on patrol, but the lady was basically the function of a vase, and even saw a beautiful woman who was suitable for childbirth took the initiative to ask her husband to come over, so he never paid attention to the word deputy envoy.
Well, don't say that the woman is the deputy envoy he doesn't care, even if it's a man who comes with him? In the case of the main envoy, the deputy envoy is a foil, an errand runner, although I don't know the words "capture the thief and capture the king", but the old city lord's idea is right, take down the main envoy, what can you do? Now this has to be thought of from a different perspective, ahhhhh He hasn't experienced it, so what the hell is he going to think? The old lord felt that his hair had turned gray again overnight.
Shao Yunhua didn't care about the subtle change in the old city lord's attitude, she still ran outside every day, although the scenery here was lackluster, but it was still good to see the collection site of the black water. Well, that's pretty boring too.
The black water here seems to be everywhere, many times, it is like digging a well, digging a hole shallowly, there is black water inside, and then you can scoop it out with utensils, it is very simple, now the distance is closer, and there is more black water, Shao Yunhua found that this black water still has a strange smell, the taste is very light, and there are so many gatherings, so you can smell it.
Just as Shao Yunhua was about to leave, a terrible scream pierced the quiet sky, the cry was too poignant, and it scared the stupid and bold Shao Yunhua a lot, what's wrong? Looking around, these women scooping the black water all showed clear eyes on their faces, and some of them showed unbearability, and they put down their work and began to pray.
"What's going on?" Shao Yunhua asked the translator beside him puzzled.
This translator originally studied with Ruan Erlang, but now that he is in the local area, he talks to the people here every day, and there is no problem in translating some things simply, so he immediately asked.
The screams were still coming, and if it weren't for the expressions on the faces of those women, Shao Yunhua would have rushed over a long time ago.
After some communication, the translator said to Shao Yunhua quite easily: "They said that at that time, the girl was circumcised, and every woman had to do it. ”
As soon as the words fell, another scream came.
Shao Yunhua was a little stupid, what kind of custom is this, listening to the sound is almost the same as Ling Chi.
Just thinking about it, Shi Jinyu walked over, and after coming over, he also frowned and asked, "What's going on?" "Things are done smoothly, Shi Jinyu is also very free, there is always only Shao Yunhua in his eyes, as for the other women's faces that are blushing because of his appearance, well, he didn't see it.
"What kind of circumcision is supposedly being performed." Shao Yunhua frowned: "It's a terrifying feeling." ”
"Hmm." Shi Jinyu nodded.
The husband and wife were facing this circumcision evaluation, and suddenly a woman ran over there in a panic, her clothes stained with blood and sweating profusely.
"Nata, go and see, Gina is dying." The woman spoke quickly and quickly, and her face was full of panic.
A woman who was originally scooping up black water burst into tears in an instant, threw down the things in her hand, and ran directly after the woman.
Shao Yunhua and Shi Jinyu looked at each other, didn't they mean circumcision? What's going on now? It doesn't look very good.
The interpreter was also a little dumbfounded, but he still said, "The woman just said that someone is dying, aren't they performing a ritual?" How could it not work? ”
"Let's go, let's see." Shao Yunhua really couldn't hold back herself, and immediately ran in the direction of the two people.
Shi Jinyu also immediately followed quickly.
It was one of the few spacious stone houses, where several old women came and went, all kneeling on the ground and praying. There was almost all blood on his body.
Shao Yunhua was used to being reckless, and at this time, he didn't expect that people had taboos, and went directly into the stone house, because the cry came from here.
What caught his eye made Shao Yunhua stupid, and Shi Jinyu, who entered the door later, was also a little stupid.
On the bed lay a little girl of about six or seven years old, her face was as white as paper, and her naked/naked under/body was covered with blood, staining the cloth sheet underneath. It is already a state of more gas out and less air intake.
The two women next to her were crying lowly, helpless against the lack of medicine for this hemorrhage.
"Help." Before Shao Yunhua's words fell, Cui Shan had already come over with the medicine, and there was no need to ask where the wound was, because it was still bleeding.
Sprinkled Panax notoginseng powder on the wound, Cui Sleeve immediately handed over the bandage in his hand. Shuangcui always has hungry pastries and these first-aid medicines on her body, which Shao Yunhua often scratches and must prepare.
The two women looked at the scene in front of them in astonishment, and then saw that the girl's blood had stopped little by little, and one of the women knelt down with a puff, kowtowed like garlic, and said something in a hurry and fast.
"Take this little child back, she's still weak." Shao Yunhua wanted to know very much, isn't it just a etiquette similar to a curtain? Although it happened at a very young age, it should also mean a blessing, how could there be so much blood? And it was that place, with thick lines like Shao Yunhua, who also felt that something was wrong at this time.
Cui Shan likes to have children very much, and he didn't dislike the other party's blood stains at all, so he directly hugged the little girl, and the translator immediately translated this behavior.
Returning to the temporary residence, the girl's breathing had stabilized at this time, and she was poured a little ginseng soup, and this little fate was completely suspended.
"What kind of etiquette is this? What does circumcision mean? Shao Yunhua is a man of action, and immediately asked the translator.
The translator didn't know either.
Thinking of the realization of those women when the girl screamed, Shao Yunhua said again: "Bring a woman over and ask directly." "What kind of etiquette is so bloody!
Shi Jinyu is a distinguished guest, and when she speaks here, naturally a woman comes over to be questioned.
The interpreter asked the woman directly what circumcision was.
The woman blushed a little in the face of the interpreter, and held it for a long time before he asked him to ask the man, and the man also knew.
The translator had no choice but to tell the truth, Shao Yunhua thought of the place where the girl was bleeding, nodded, expressed understanding, and directly found a man to come over.
When the man heard the translator ask this, he didn't have any concerns, but he couldn't help but glance at Shao Yunhua, who was on an equal footing with Shi Jinyu, and he didn't understand why this woman was so blind? actually sat with a man like this, but in his heart, he still knew that this woman was from Daqin, and it was not something he could blame.
The man began to tell what circumcision was, and both Ruan Erlang and the interpreter listened, at first with a serious face, then all into incredulity, and finally with a clear sky.
This change in face made Shao Yunhua anxiously scratch his ears and cheeks, this language is really incomprehensible, what is going on? Shuangcui is also a rare anxious, why is this?
waited until the man's mouth was closed, Ruan Erlang and the interpreter still looked overly frightened, and they didn't ease up at all.
"What the hell is going on?" Shao Yunhua couldn't hold back and finally asked.
Ruan Erlang twitched the corners of his mouth, opened his mouth, but did not open his mouth, he finally knew why the woman's name was so unspeakable, thought about it, and said, "Find a woman, and the two of you will check Ziming." He said this to Shuangcui.
Helpless, I had to find another woman to come over, and then Shuangcui went to check, Shao Yunhua thought about it, and followed in.
The woman had been informed of anything before she came, and when she found that the room was full of women, and there was nothing to be shy about, she took off her clothes directly.
I didn't wear much clothes, and I could see that I had washed my body before I came, so I was worried about bumping into the nobles.
Thinking of the place where the girl was bleeding, Shuangcui checked the woman's private parts, and then the two of them were directly scared stupid, Shao Yunhua cut a glance, and was also scared stupid, I wiped it, what did she see?
Part of the woman's private parts is missing, the phallus/clitoris, size/pubia/lips are all gone, this is not counting, there is an obvious laceration wound on the side of the pubic/tract, but how can it be torn normally, take a closer look, there are signs of stitching there, sutures? What is this for? And those mutilated wounds, the three masters and servants are completely stupid!
At this time, Ruan Erlang also told Shi Jinyu what circumcision was all about.
In religious abstinence, it is believed that "there is a dirt between a woman's legs, which causes a man to fall", and that a woman should not be interested in "sex" and should observe the concept of chastity.
Therefore, it is necessary to remove the part of them that can get pleasure, as for the suturing of the vagina/canal, this is a symbol of male power, because this is the basis for the man to check whether the newlywed woman is still a virgin before marriage, and once the woman who is stitched will be torn apart once she has sex/intercourse with a person, and then healed, and then torn, and then healed, and so on, especially when the man goes out to fight, come back and examine their wife's naked/body, then you can directly judge whether they are loyal or not.
At that time, whether it was the Qin Dynasty or the dynasties before the Qin Dynasty, there was no bad habit of mutilating women's bodies by binding small feet, so even if the Qin Dynasty attached importance to women's chastity, there was absolutely no such heinous atrocity, Shi Jinyu was also stupid and didn't speak for a long time.
When the husband and wife met again, the faces of both of them were very bad, and this kind of ruinous thing really touched the husband and wife too much.
