~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The eyes of everyone in front of the valley all looked in the direction of Wu Zhu's fingers.
Under the earthen platform, the two witches who led the dogs to guard them, together with the two big dogs, pounced on the direction of the upper division.
Zhang Fang looked at everyone's eyes and was taken aback.
The person accused of "blasphemy" is actually Ah Li!
Thousands of people pointed out, and died without a problem. Ah Li didn't have this problem, because she couldn't see it, but the clear water face was flushed, and her delicate body trembled.
The two big dogs pounced at Ah Li's feet, their nostrils whining and barking wildly. If it weren't for the two witches pulling hard, they would have pounced early.
Han Jun and Han were shocked and stopped sideways in front of Ah Li. Qingyan took out a handful of stones from the leather bag and stared nervously at the two big dogs, but there was an abnormal movement, and they had to break their heads.
Because it was in public and there was a township overseer, Zhang Fang and the Han brothers did not dare to bring a sword. And they came to visit, not to fight, and there was no need to bring any weapons, who would have thought that things would turn out to be like this. The only one who has a weapon now is Qingyan, and her weapon is only a stone.
At this moment, Zhang Fang broke out in a cold sweat. No one knows better than him how terrible these hypnotized, semi-hypnotized, almost mass-infused people will become once they lose what little reason they have.
Zhang Fang squeezed towards Ah Li's place - yes, he could only squeeze it. The open space, which seemed very empty just now, was already crowded with the crowd that had gathered, and it was impossible to get through. From where Zhang Fang was to Ah Li, the distance was only twenty or thirty zhang, but he squeezed hard for half a minute, and he only squeezed in less than half......
Why Ah Li? Why embarrass a blind girl?
When Zhang Fang was sweating profusely and rushing in a hurry, this huge question mark kept circling in his mind.
And in the inner circle of the crowd, when all the villagers looked at Ah Li's skirt with the barking of the dog, they were angry!
Han Jun, Han Chong, and Qing Yan also instinctively followed everyone's gaze to Ah Li's short shirt that could cover his knees just now, and the three of them also changed color at the same time.
The couple secretly complained, this is their own guest, if something happens...... I wanted to come forward to plead, but when the eyes of the couple touched Ah Li's shoes and socks under the short shirt, they were suddenly shocked, and they couldn't help but retreat step by step, distancing themselves from Ah Li and the others.
At this time, the Han brothers and Qingyan had already supported Ah Li together, and said in a panic: "Ah Li (sister), when were you injured?" Where is the wound, there is a lot of blood ......"
The wives of Zhu Yu had not retreated far away, and when they were listening, they couldn't laugh or cry, and muttered in a low voice: "What a bunch of stupid children, alas! Why did you choose to watch the sacrifice today, don't you know that this is a great taboo......
Ah Li didn't know what was going on in the outside world, but she knew very well what was happening to her, and when she heard the Han brothers and Qing Yan ask in surprise, her already flushed face suddenly turned into a red cloth, this, how did she speak?
Under Ah Li's short undergarment, two meandering blood streams soaked into the cloth socks along the calves, dyeing the cloth socks red. The bloodstain blinded everyone's eyes. There were also many young witches with blank expressions on their faces like those of the Han brothers, but many more, especially women, had a look of shame, annoyance, and anger on their faces.
Poor Ah Li didn't know that at this moment, there were hundreds of pairs of eyes, looking at her, looking at her for the first time in her life!
Ah Li is now fourteen years old, and there is a saying in "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" that "women are fourteen and Tianqi is to", the so-called "Tianqi" refers to menarche. The ancients made good use of hidden words, and menstruation is formed water, and at the same time, women belong to yin, so it is called "Tianqi". After the "Tianqi", the monthly events that must come every month are called "monthly letters".
In the Han Dynasty, women didn't have underwear, so how did they deal with the "monthly letter"? Quite simply, use a sanitary belt. The origins of what can be called "Friends of Women" are definitely older than most of us think. The sanitary belt of the Han Dynasty was similar to the modern shape, but there was a difference in the material. Usually with silk and linen as the surface, stuffed with grass and wood ash, can absorb dirt, the two ends are tied around the waist with a thin thread, the principle is the same in ancient and modern times.
If Ah Li already has a monthly letter, even if she is a child, the aunts and sisters-in-law in the neighborhood will solve this problem for her, and will not be embarrassed in public. It's just that this is Ah Li's first period, and he has no experience before. No panties, no sanitary belts, and worse, no hunch, it just happened......
The ancients' view of menstrual events was very different from today's. At that time, when a woman was menstruating, she had a sense of fear due to ignorance, or because of the opinions of the people around her, she had negative feelings such as uncleanness and disgust for this physiological phenomenon unique to women. In addition, men feel that bleeding is ominous, and slowly menstruation becomes a taboo. Therefore, the "Book of Rites" has the concept of "avoiding the moon and the night" when the menstrual period comes, and there is also a saying in the "Secret of the Jade Room" that "the son of menstruation dies". As for the taboo of menstruation among the people, there are even more.
One can imagine how angry the pious villagers would be when such unclean, ominous, and forbidden things were held during a solemn ceremony to pray for rain and worship the gods.
The Han brothers and Qingyan didn't know what they meant at first, but they said that Ah Li was hurt, and when they learned the truth from the miscellaneous mouths of the villagers, they were dumbfounded. Such forbidden things are known even to young men and women of their age. After doing it for a long time, it turned out that Ah Li offended the gods, and they were the one who was at fault.
When Ah Li was carried away by two witches amid the scolding of the villagers, Zhang Fang still failed to squeeze into the center of the circle, but he had already learned the reason from the angry and noisy villagers.
Zhang Fang really wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, on the contrary, his heart sank. He understood that the consequences of this incident could be big or small, depending on the occasion, and the current occasion was the worst-case scenario...... Damn, is that witch Zhu a dog? You can smell it from so far. Or do these ancient witches have special abilities that no one else knows?
The crowd gradually dispersed, the Han brothers and Qingyan were already panicked, sweating profusely and squeezing in front of Zhang Fang, looking at him with a pleading look: "Xiao Langjun, this, how is this good?" ”
Qingyan was even more anxious: "Xiao Langjun, you can't ignore Sister Li." ”
Zhang Fang made a gesture of calmness and calmness, and said in a deep voice: "Calm down, and see what that witch zhu does......"
"Folks, what should we do with the blasphemers?" A buzzing sound came along with the music, faintly bewildered, it was the witch wish.
And Ah Li is like a frightened bird, under the hostage of two strong men, staggering up the steps, struggling helplessly, looking left and right, and calling out one after another: "Qingyan! Xiao Langjun! Asher! Woo Lang! Where are you? ”
Qingyan was so anxious that she couldn't help jumping up and waved her hand hard: "We're here." In a hurry, she forgot that Ah Li couldn't see it at all, and her cry was drowned in the hustle and bustle.
"Sacrifice to the mountain!" One person in the crowd shouted. Immediately, as if awakening, countless people responded loudly: "Sacrifice to the mountain king!" Sacrifice to the mountain! ”
In Zhang Fang's stunned gaze, the villagers were like the brainwashed pyramid scheme elements in later generations, one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, raising their arms and waving their arms, hoarse, hysterical, and the whole valley only echoed with three words: "Sacrifice to the mountain king!" ”
This frenzied scene made even Qingyan and the Han brothers afraid.
On the earthen platform, it is a different scene. But seeing Wu Zhu shaking his body, the jade Ruyi in his hand stretched and flew with the sleeve robe, and a cloud of white mist erupted from his cuffs, and a sleepy monotonous sound came out of his mouth, constantly surrounding Ah Li's whirling dance. In the white mist, I saw that Ah Li's body was constantly shaking, and he would fall to the ground at any time.
"Does the little lady know Zhang Jun?" Ban Yuanjun's voice sounded in Zhang Fang's ears.
Zhang Fang turned around and nodded, "She is my companion." ”
Ban Yuan Jun glanced at the Xiangzuo on both sides of the mountain road, and said in a low voice: "Maybe you can ask the government to intervene." ”
Zhang Fang glanced at the strong men who kept swinging their fists and sticks with a strong momentum, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it won't work." ”
"Try it." Ban Yuanjun hesitated for a moment, and said slightly apologetically, "It's just that it's inconvenient for me to disclose my identity, otherwise, I'm afraid that these assistants will report it according to the truth, and I'm afraid it will bring trouble to Ah Weng." ”
"Understood." Zhang Fang nodded, he really understood. If Ban Yuanjun's identity is exposed, at this very time, once the political enemies of the Ban family participate in a book, saying that the daughter of the captain of Shanghe Nong interfered in the rain prayer sacrifice, it would be a crime of dereliction of duty.
Sure enough, when Ban Yuanjun asked Xiangzuo for help, although those Xiangzuo were polite to Ban Yuanjun, they said that they couldn't help, thinking that such an offending act of Shanjun could only be atoneted by serving each other.
Ban Yuanjun returned in a daze, looking at Zhang Fang apologetically, and the little maid Ping'er was in tears.
On the earthen platform, Ah Li finally lay down softly, and the clouds and mist curled around his body, like a water lily.
Wu Zhu finally settled down, his arms were raised high, his big sleeves slipped down, revealing two thin arms, and the voice behind the mask was deafening: "Just as invited by the villagers, sacrifice, mountain, and king!" ”
"Sacrifice to the mountain! Sacrifice to the mountain! ”
"I'll go back and get a knife!" Han Chong's eyes were red, and he turned around and rushed.
Zhang Fang made a move, blocked his arm, made a stumble under his feet, and made a mistake up and down, throwing the defenseless Han Zhong to the ground.
Han Zhong rolled up and shouted excitedly: "Xiao Langjun! ”
Han Jun stepped forward quickly, hugged his brother, and shouted, "Don't be reckless." ”
Zhang Fang flicked his sleeves and said coldly, "Who are you going to cut with a knife?" ”
Han Zhong said angrily: "I'm going to cut that fool who pretends to be a ghost...... Before he finished speaking, Han Jun covered his mouth with his hand. The villagers who were closer to them had turned their heads angrily.
"My brother has a bad brain, he talks nonsense." Han Jun apologized one after another, dragged Han Zhong under the big tree away from the crowd. Seeing that his brother was still blushing and struggling, he said in a low voice, and then asked him to calm down: "Xiao Langjun will have a way, listen to Xiao Langjun." ”
Under the eager gaze of Han Jun, Han Chong, and Qing Yan, Zhang Fang nodded vigorously: "The knife is to be held, but we must figure out the target - our goal, not people!" ”
"Not human?!" The Han brothers and Qingyan took a breath of cold air at the same time, and on a hot day, they felt cold and swishing in their backs.
"Zhang Jun, do you want to ...... for this little girl" Ban Yuanjun seemed to have thought of something, and his little pink face turned white.
"I brought her out." Zhang Fang turned his head and looked at Ban Dianjun's eyes seriously, word by word, sonorous and powerful, "So, I must bring her back unscathed." ”
