Chapter 33: Hair Cutting Chief

As mentioned above, this place is already in flames, and it is illuminated everywhere. Everything inside the cave can be seen clearly.

At this time, they saw that the cave wall was very rough and uneven, and the sharp stones on it were like dogs' teeth, and it seemed that it was a naturally formed cave.

In the depths of the cave, the guillotine was still faintly visible, and further inside, it was dark and pitch-black, like a demon was opening its mouth wide, waiting for someone to enter and die.

Unable to look any further, he and the two of them kept observing everything around them, hoping to find the desired hole.

But they walked around it for a long time, and found that the inside of the cave was the same as what they had seen before, and they did not see any openings at all.

At this time, poisonous rockets were still being fired into the cave outside, and the scorching flames were stinging all over the body, and the thick black smoke choked so that the lungs were about to explode.

Makubai is like a mirror in his heart, if he keeps doing this, it won't be long before he and Qu Jiu Er are not burned to death, but also smoked to death.

You have to find the exit quickly, if you can't find the exit, you have to rush inside, but is it safe inside?

Before they could think about anything more, they suddenly saw a flash of red light in the depths of the cave, and there was a "boom", just like opening a mountain and setting off a cannon, like a gust of wind blowing on the flat ground, and a huge flame suddenly came out from inside, and rushed straight at them!

It seems that there is probably a powder magazine inside, and because the fire is getting more and more fierce, it was unexpectedly detonated, and it is really all over at once.

This result, could it be that the pig fairy designed it in advance, didn't he even want his own nest?

It's hard to say, in order to please his own love, this guy may have given up everything and put everything out of the way.

Makubai felt discouraged, and thought to himself, I and the two of them don't expect to be able to escape tonight, there is poisonous gas in the front, and there are flames in the back, and if this continues, after the flames are over, even the stones in the cave will be scorched, and everything will be turned to ashes!

They were swept back and forth in the cave by the wind, and Makuhaku's head was bumped several times, forcing him to hold his head tightly with both hands to avoid further impacts.

At that moment, a strange sound sounded in their ears, and then, driven by the strong wind, they involuntarily rushed to a hollow, and then rolled downward.

When they got inside, they found that it was a hole in the ground.

At this point, Makubai's heart lit up, could this be the hole they were looking for, it was really nowhere to find it when they stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.

It turned out that it was all the fault of the explosion in the cave, under the action of the powerful impact, the lid of this cave was destroyed, and they were also swept into it by the wind, this is not over, the continuous explosion in the cave added more power to them, and the wind continued to push them to rush out of the cave.

Just when they were so excited that they were about to faint, they suddenly heard a "through" sound, and the two of them felt that they had gone to the sky all of a sudden, and at the same time, they immediately felt that their chests were abnormally open, and what surprised them even more was that a dark blue night sky appeared in front of them!

They didn't wait for long to be happy, and then they felt that their bodies were falling rapidly, and at this time, they saw that some people below were looking at them in horror, this was the pig fairy group!

Among them was the red fox, who was pointing at the two of them, not knowing what she was talking to the pig fairy.

They are overwhelmed by the sudden upheaval.

It's too late, it's fast, and in a moment, the two of them have already fallen from the sky and fallen on a big tree not far from the pig fairy.

Fortunately, they were born as mountain bandits, and they were all agile, and immediately grabbed the branch to prevent themselves from falling directly to the ground.

Taking advantage of the fact that these guys were stunned, Mubai raised his sword, raised it at them, and shouted: "What a red fox, as a mother, you are not good at giving birth to and taking care of your own children, causing them to get lost, there are many wild beasts in the forest, it is normal to be hunted, you can only blame yourself, today you not only do not have the slightest intention of self-blame, but instead push the guilt on others, and want to harm the two of us, it is really hateful, if I don't kill you today, it is really difficult to calm the hatred in my heart, I don't want to worry about you when you lose your son in middle age, And today my hair was cut off by the pig monster's knife, and the two of us were even-

Everyone knows that ancient people attached great importance to hair.

For them, "the skin of the body is the parent of the body" (the skin and hair of the body come from the parents), which must be cherished and not destroyed at will. And the cutting off of hair has thus become an insulting punishment. It is regarded as a great disrespect to parents and a violation of filial piety.

In fact, this is also a kind of punishment in ancient times, called "髡 (kūn, Yinkun) punishment". We know that ancient people had long hair and were fixed with hairpins. And there is only one kind of person with short hair: slaves!

In ancient times, the Yue people were all short-haired, so they were said to be barbarians, and in the eyes of the Central Plains people, short hair was a symbol of lowliness

This kind of punishment is not harmful to the person, but it is a great punishment for the soul, and the ancient division of labor is obvious, and this kind of punishment is better than being applied to the scholars.

In ancient times, there was a lot of attention paid to hair breakage

In ancient times, women cut off their hair generally meant that they could see through the red dust or cut off their hair, and there were also couples who cut their hair as a souvenir when they parted.

1. It means that the woman sees through the red dust

In ancient times, women's hair was called green silk, through "love silk", and the general woman's broken hair is to cut off the green silk to see through the red dust and escape into the empty door. Li Junmin of the Southern Song Dynasty mentioned in "Collecting Ancient Prostitutes for Nuns": "In the spring, he cut his hair in Furong Temple, and Xiao Lang was a passer-by from then on. It means that the woman saw through the red dust, cut her hair and became a nun, and since then the lover has become a stranger.

2. It means that the husband and wife are separated for a short time

In ancient times, couples were also known as "knotted hair", and when couples parted for a short time, they cut a bundle of hair to commemorate each other and express a feeling of thought. For example, Su Wu of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to the Xiongnu, and wrote a poem to say goodbye to his wife: "Married as husband and wife, love and affection are unswerving." It means that Su Wu and his wife agreed with each other before the envoy that they would always love each other.

Third, it also means that the woman has no idea of breaking her hair

It means that he has lost his lover, his heart is dead, he is martyred for love, and he is willing to go with his loved one.

4. As a penalty

A typical example of this is Cao Cao's haircut acting head.

It literally means to cut off the hair instead of cutting off the head.

Including Cao Cao's Cui Yan, who was punished by Cao Cao as a slave, and slaves were often forced to go down the mine to mine coal.

But it's impossible to really let a scholar dig coal! This is the punishment he received.

Later, when he made a mistake himself, he did the same.

When the army was sent to Wancheng, he passed by a wheat field and ordered "all the generals and colonels, all who cross the wheat field, but there is trampling, will be beheaded" (which means that regardless of the official rank, as long as they pass through the wheat field, anyone who tramples on the wheat field will be beheaded). So all the riders dismounted, and carefully helped the wheat, and no one dared to trample it down. When the common people saw it, there was no one who did not praise it, and some looked at the backs of the officials and soldiers, and knelt on the ground to thank them.

Cao Cao was walking on horseback when suddenly, a bird flew in the field, startling his horse. His horse sprang into the field at once, and trampled on a field of wheat.

Cao Cao immediately summoned the officials accompanying him and demanded that he be punished for trampling on the wheat fields. The official said: "How can you punish the prime minister? ”

Cao Cao said: "If I don't obey what I say with my own mouth, who will willingly obey it?" How can a man who does not keep his word command thousands of soldiers? Then he drew the sword at his waist to kill himself, but everyone hurriedly stopped him.

At this time, the minister Guo Jia stepped forward and said: "The ancient book "Spring and Autumn" says that the law is not respected. The prime minister commands the army and has a heavy responsibility, how can he commit suicide? ”

So he cut off his own hair with his sword and said, "Then I will cut off my hair instead of my head." Cao Cao sent someone to order the three armies: the prime minister trampled on the wheat field, and he should have been beheaded to show the public, but because he was shouldering a heavy responsibility, he cut off his hair and made a scapegoat.

Not only that, similar situations, including broken sleeves, broken beards, broken robes, and broken hairpins, have their own specific sayings and exquisiteness.

The narration continues:

- From now on, we will each be on one side, and we will be in peace with each other, if we are not satisfied, choose a date, and the two of us will go back to mobilize people, and then come back to fight to the death with you. ”

The curtain is like a hanging river, and the other party is speechless and doesn't know how to answer.

At this time, the curtain did not want to listen to the following words, so he immediately whistled, and immediately jumped down the mountain with He Qu Shot, and soon disappeared into the vast night.

The red fox was impatient, and he wanted to chase after her, but he was grabbed by the pig fairy and pressed her hand lightly twice, meaning that he didn't have to be anxious, he had his own way.

It is said that when the two of them were running in the mountains and forests in a hurry, they suddenly stepped on the air, and then, there were two "plops" sounds, and they both fell into a deep pit.

Qu Jie complained again and again: "It's bad, you and I are only trying to escape for our lives, how can we forget about this and fall into the trap set by him again!" ”

He told Makuhaku that when he came down from the cottage, he probably ran here and fell into a deep pit.

He and his entourage were all taken down, and all the minions were hacked to death, leaving him alone.

No wonder.

Mubai thought to himself, he was still puzzled just now, why did the refraction go down the mountain alone, and he should take a few more people, right, because he had been in danger, he didn't have time to ask, and now he learned that he immediately felt a chill on his body, and he thought to himself, this refraction is really useless, what are you thinking about in your head?

Why do you make the same mistakes and suffer the same losses over and over again?

In this way, the pig fairy has set traps on the roads around their lair, which is to prevent the enemy from attacking, this pig can be called a scheming and resourceful one, and is an extremely difficult guy to deal with.

What can I do?
