Chapter 372: Dipping the Pig Cage
“……”
"Ah, yes, your legs are one of the consequences of disrespecting the Lord God, and if you continue like this, all that awaits you is death, only death!!"
The Great Elder roared, his face flushed.
The moment Fang just raised his head and laughed, the facial sores on his neck that were covered by the placket also showed a weird smile.
Feng Wanyue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone was lukewarm, "I didn't expect the death gas to have arrived in this place, it seems that I really want to find someone who is dead, and I can't stop it." ”
The ancient Miao Jiang was just an inconspicuous small tribe.
Because of the geographical environment, many poisons grow, so the tribe has developed many terrifying poisons and Gu worms, which have gradually entered the eyes of the world.
Many people go with longing and curiosity, and a small number of people choose to stay, so that it is natural to have children.
The more time passed, the Miao Jiang people also found a very serious problem: perhaps because of the impure blood, it seems that there are fewer and fewer men who can inherit the tradition.
In this way, the concept of preference for sons permeates the hearts of the people.
In the beginning, the ancestors did not directly deal with the unpleasant female dolls, but pointed the finger at the women who gave birth to them.
Charges of cheapness, indiscretion and stealing were smashed one after another, and even a direct and cruel way was even adopted - immersing the pig cage.
Stuff a living person into a cage where the pigs are herd, tie a boulder and throw it down the river.
When there was no movement at all, the corpse was fished up, dismembered and thrown into the deep forest, and fed to the beast.
Someone sings blackface, then someone sings whiteface.
Finally, after a while, someone deliberately stood up and said that this method is not very good, it is better to soak those newborn children in pig cages, anyway, they are all milk dolls who don't know anything and only know how to eat and sleep.
No one can prove whether the child is biological or not, and even if the women deny an explanation, the men don't believe a word.
But if they kill a woman, won't they have a daughter-in-law, and marrying another one is troublesome and costly.
It was obviously cost-effective to exchange the child's life, so the men naturally agreed to the result.
The men in Miao Jiang unanimously agreed, and in this way, the original rule of letting women soak in pig cages evolved into letting newborn baby girls soak in pig cages.
The Great Elder laughed and cried, "It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, when the hundredth baby girl was soaked to death, from the patriarch to the tribesmen, everyone had a sores on their bodies that looked like a human face, and it grew bigger and bigger over time, gradually forming a human face with eyes, nose and mouth, and what was even more terrifying was that the human face would open its eyes and eat!" ”
Other than that, there is no discomfort in the body.
The witch doctor's duty is to see for everyone, but after a few days of research, I found that it was to keep my mouth open, and there seemed to be no other problems.
As a result, the people have changed from panic at the beginning to becoming accustomed to it.
The practice of bapticide continued, and for each subsequent death, an additional face appeared on the body of all participants.
I don't know that from that day on, the number of faces has become a comparison project in Miaojiang.
Whoever has more faces on him means who has more outstanding abilities.
Hualien closed his eyes, and those images appeared in his mind.
Even if he just listened to it, he could fully imagine how helpless and sad those innocent women and baby girls were at the moment of death.
