Chapter 391: What is said to be living and dying together



But concealing Hong Ermu's death, it is undoubtedly very unwise, she is the daughter of the previous cave owner, has a special status in the cave village, in the history of Hong Yan Cave has more than one female cave owner, the cave people have no special preference for whether the cave master is a man or a woman, as long as he/she has that ability, whoever does the same.

As the only daughter of the previous cave master, Hong Ermu is smart, capable, benevolent, and has leadership skills, and many people who are not convinced by Huang Xiaoyan have long said that they want to choose her as the next cave master.

If she doesn't show up for a day, he, the cave master, will undoubtedly face tremendous pressure.

Announcing Hong Ermu's death, he also blamed the three captured Han Chinese, inciting hatred of the cave people against the Han and preventing them from approaching the Han Chinese.

Hong Crushed Rock wants to make a big article about Hong Ermu's death.

At his behest, one of his henchmen, the mill steward, publicly came forward and told a lie that Hong Ermu had been killed by the invading Han Chinese in the mill. The poor girl suffered inhuman abuse and humiliation before she died, and with her strong personality, she finally chose to die with the Han murderer, she hugged the Han man who was violent to her, and jumped into the roaring stream with him.

There is a stream in the back mountain of the cave village, hanging upside down on the cliff, the water flow is endless all the year round, from the top of the mountain straight into the mountain stream, because the sound is like a tiger roaring, so it was named Roaring Room when the water mill was completed ten years ago.

The water mill is the only trace left in the vigorous civilization and civilization movement ten years ago, and the use of water power to drive the water mill provides an endless stream of barley noodles for the cave village, so that the whole cave village benefits for ten years.

Because it is related to civilization and civilization, the water mill is a very sensitive place in Dongzhai, and it is easy for no one to go there. As the owner of the cave, Huang Xiaoyan persuaded the cave people not to go there more than once, so as not to be harmed by poisonous snakes or wild wolves.

Hong Ermu did not listen to the dissuasion, and ran alone to die before dawn, and her death was self-inflicted.

Since she was to blame, her death had nothing to do with him, the cave master, and instead of suspecting him, people would be happy to submit to his foresight.

Witnesses are easy to find, and more than one person testified that he saw Hong Ermu go to the Houzhai Water Mill alone in the morning, but as for the reason, no one can tell, it may be a ghost.

Murder pays for life, since the evidence is conclusive, why do you still save the lives of those three Han people?

Everyone roared angrily to smash the three Han people into a pulp, it was Hu Chuan's feces and urine that temporarily calmed down the angry crowd, and people couldn't imagine that such a timid person would have the courage to sneak into the cave village to harm people.

Hong Shayan advised everyone to stay calm, he claimed that people are small and ignorant, and that only the god of fire in this world is impartial and omniscient, and he proposed to hand over the three Han people to the almighty god of fire, so that he could judge the life and death of the three Han people.

The selflessness and wisdom of the cave master impressed everyone.

The three burners were quickly erected, and by the time the night came, the almighty Vulcan would descend from the sky and take away the filthy souls of the three people who had been impregnated with evil thoughts.

The absurdity beneath his feet continued, and the old witch doctor's heart was dripping blood. Fifteen years ago, her elder brother, then the master of Hongyan Cave, was invited by the assassin of Jianzhou to go to Jianzhou, and before the trip, he carefully arranged his future life and was ready to never return. At that time, among the three people who were appointed to preside over the affairs of the cave were her and the current cave master, Huang Yanyan.

Huang Xiaoyan was originally an enterprising young man, although ambitious, but still upright and fair, he was the most powerful assistant of the cave master and the most powerful competitor of the next cave master.

At that time, she let him everywhere, she thought that if her brother could not return as scheduled, Huang Xiaoyan would be the best candidate to replace the cave master, and she would never compete with him for the position of cave master.

A month later, her brother returned from Jianzhou as scheduled, and not only did he come back unscathed, but he also brought back two Han gentlemen and a bunch of new and strange gadgets.

Standing in front of the mountain wall, he happily announced that from today onwards, Hongyandong will be civilized and civilized.

At the reception banquet that night, Hong Shayan's expression was very strange, as if he was laughing and crying, he only sat with his sworn friends, and refused to clink glasses and drink with the two Han gentlemen.

Before the feast was over, they left the table, and before they went they gathered together and muttered, as if they were discussing something unseemly.

She was tempted to tell her brother about this discovery, but his brother had drunk too much wine that night, and he was usually taciturn, but that night he had endless words, and he danced and said to the cave people: The Han people's clothes are the most beautiful in the world; Their language is the most beautiful language in the world, and their voice is even more beautiful than the most beautiful song sung by our most beautiful singers;

Their manners are unparalleled in elegance; When their women give birth to children, they are taken care of by the whole family, unlike the women in the cave, who are driven to feed the pigs and cook the chickens. Their women had three or four children, and they were alive and well, and they never had children in a filthy pigsty.

They often bathe, wash their hair and trim their nails, and when they defecate in a fixed place called a latrine, they have to wipe their buttocks with grass or a cloth dipped in water after defecation.

When someone there is sick, all the family members will take care of them, instead of abandoning them in the wilderness like cave people, and God will decide whether they live or die.

In the end, his brother said angrily: Compared with the Han people outside, we Hongyandong people are completely a group of barbaric and ignorant savages, and Hongyandong people can no longer live in a muddy state like before.

Her brother brought back two Han gentlemen, dressed in soft, fine cloth that could not be seen in the gaps, they had clean and neat beards, they bathed every other day, their bodies were always fragrant, and their hair was long but neat, tied together with a polished hairpin of extraordinary beauty.

The gentlemen came to the cave village to treat the people, taught them to sew clothes with cloth, taught them to use horse grass to scrub the dirt on their bodies, taught them to eat with chopsticks made of two wooden sticks, taught them to wash their hands, trimmed their nails, washed their hair, tied their hair, and taught them to live as gracefully as the Han people.

Not only did they come, but they also brought seeds, medicines, tools and cloth, and even oil lamps and flints. Their arrival was an eye-opener for the cave people, but their practice of forcing the cave people to change their customs also caused dissatisfaction among many people. The current cave master is one of them, and he instigated the most stubborn conservative cave people to insult and beat Mr. Han in front of him.

A gentleman could not bear such humiliation, and he left a year later, lamenting: "Rotten wood cannot be carved, and savages cannot be edified." ”

Another gentleman stubbornly stayed, he taught the cave people to grow crops, raise silkworms, draw silk, weave soft cloth from shiny silk, teach them to speak Chinese, use a brush to write on bamboo slips, take notes, teach them how to identify the herbs in the valley, use these herbs to cure diseases, they taught them to build pots and stoves, cook food and water before eating, he taught them to build huts to protect them from wind and rain and insects and snakes, and taught them to build latrines so that they understand that drowning in public is not only shameful but also extremely dirty.

Her brother gave his full support to this Han gentleman, and with their joint efforts, the ignorant and barbaric Hongyan Cave finally ushered in the dawn of civilization, showing a thriving scene, and everything looked so beautiful.

But the day came to an abrupt end, when she was collecting herbs in the back mountain according to the instructions of Mr. Han, when she suddenly heard that her brother had been stoned to death by Mr. Han, and when she returned to the village from the mountain, her brother and Mr. Han were lying in a pool of blood at the same time, her brother was said to have been stoned to death by the collapsed wall, and Mr. Han was stoned to death by the angry cave man.

The first stone was smashed by the current cave owner, Huang Crushed Rock.

Seven days later, Jianzhou Assassin sent someone to retrieve Mr. Han's coffin.

Since then, everything in the cave village has been restored, the mulberry trees that have become forests have been cut down in pieces, the silkworms that spit silk have been brought to feed the pregnant sows, the rice fields have been flattened, the repaired houses have been pulled down, people no longer bathe, no longer trim their faces, still throw newborn children into the pigsty, drive out weak mothers to beat pigweed in the rain, both men and women still defecate in public, and the fruits accumulated in the three years of civilization and civilization have been wiped clean in less than half a year.

The new cave master, her nephew Hong Shayan, married eight of the most beautiful girls in the village, and continued to dominate all the good girls in the cave at a rate of one more per year, including his two cousins, three cousins, and a half-sister. Over the years, he has given birth to twenty-six sons, thirty-two daughters, and the surviving sons and daughters together have not exceeded ten, and the women he occupied have died, crazy, and crippled, and none of them have a good end, but even so he still got his wish and became the person with the most children and grandchildren in the cave.

After the benevolent assassin of Jianzhou was transferred, the new assassin was not interested in the savage tribe hidden in the deep mountains and valleys, and the Dongzhai people themselves were isolated from the civilized world, everything was the same, and when the outside world was changing with each passing day, there were still rampant savage, ignorant and ignorant here.

Hong Zhu was worried about this, and she had been looking forward to the reappearance of the benevolent assassin, so that this troubled cave village would once again have the dawn of civilization.

The dry firewood under the stake has been prepared, and the ancient sacrificial song and dance have also entered the final **, Zhang Qi, Han Yi, and Hu Chuan were escorted out, they are not only naked, but the hair on their bodies is also shaved clean, you Han people don't say that the body hair and skin come from your parents, can you not be damaged in the slightest, I want you to be unfilial descendants, this is the biggest humiliation to the Han people, and it is also the only achievement left by civilization and civilization ten years ago.

The three men were tied to pillars, and each of them had a thick stack of dry wood under his feet.

Zhang Qi glanced at Han Yi and forced a smile and said, "If you are crying and mourning, even if you die, you can't let the barbarians underestimate you." ”

Han Yi bowed his head and was silent, but Hu Chuan kept crying, the people around him were boiling, Zhang Qi couldn't persuade him, so he sang: "You don't see, the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please Changying; You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds! ”

Zhang Qi sang to strengthen his courage, and his singing voice was a little sad.

Han Yi was very interesting when he heard this singing, and asked curiously, "What are you singing?" ”

Zhang Qi smiled: "Tang Dynasty military song." ”

Han Yidao: "Isn't the Tang Dynasty Military Song "The Song of the Tang Dynasty Guanjian's Long March"? I've sung it, it's not like that. ”

Zhang Qi said: "The one you listen to is "The Song of the Tang Dynasty Guanjian", and my new song is our Brother Mao's lyrics and music, called "The Tang Dynasty Guanjian's Military March", which is different from yours. ”

Han Yidao: "Is there any difference? ”

Zhang Qi said: "It's a big difference, you are a stupid man who joined the army, and I am a fool of a scholar to serve the country, it's different." ”

Hu Chuan, who was crying on the side, heard the words and shouted: "My life is gone, and you still sing a fart song, can you sing Anton Jun?" Can you sing these damned barbarians to death?! ”

Zhang Qi sighed: "Life in the world for 100 years, after all, it is inevitable to die, death is lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai, as long as you die well, what is there to fear of death?" What's more, I have two good brothers with me. Hurry, hurry. Hahaha. ”

Hu Chuan cried: "Your son is willing to die with you, I am considered to have been miserable by you, so I did a good job with Captain Luan, and ran to this ghost place where birds don't lay eggs to die." Lao Tzu doesn't want to die, Lao Tzu hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet. ”

Zhang Qi said: "You haven't married a daughter-in-law at such an old age, so who can you blame?" He added: "Have you ever touched a woman if you haven't married a daughter-in-law?" Hu Chuan said: "What do you mean, scolding Lao Tzu is a soft egg, I haven't played with such a big woman, is that still a person?" Zhang Qi said: "How many?" Hu Chuan replied: "Six." ”

Zhang Qi shook his head and said, "Six, so-so, brother, you can go on the road with peace of mind." ”

Hu Chuan took a sip of Zhang Qi, thinking about dying like this, he was really a little wronged, but he didn't realize that the tears came down again, and he continued to cry with a whimper.

At the end of the witch dance, the master of the Yellow Broken Rock Cave in a god's costume held a scepter decorated with multicolored shells, paced to the stake, turned his back to the three people and gave a final speech to his people, three big men with torches stepped out of the crowd and stood opposite the three men, and three strong men stood behind the three people, as long as the leader gave an order, the dry wood under the feet of the three people would be burned.

The speech of the costume cave master was very demagogic, and the crowd around him was already boiling.

Zhang Qi stopped singing and scolded in the northeast direction: "**** Your grandma, you said that you had a voice on the same day, the same month, and the same year, why did you leave Lao Tzu and not come." "The last scolding has brought a crying tone.

At this moment, in the night sky, a feathered arrow floated into the air, and in the middle of it stood in front of him, the big man with a torch, the man shook twice, and fell backwards.
