Chapter 539: Dipping the Pig Cary
The young woman in the black coffin did not show any signs of corruption, the whole person seemed to be asleep, that is, the pale color of her face, the people who looked at it were a little stunned, but her face was very good-looking, very delicate, and the proportions of her body were also very coordinated.
After looking at the black coffin here, I couldn't help but walk over and look at Zou Hanhui's coffin, only to see that inside this white jade-like coffin, there was actually a man dressed in black, looking like he was about forty years old, with wrinkles on his forehead, two beards on both sides of his chin, and between his eyebrows, there was the majesty of a superior person.
The man in black thought he was a killer at first glance, but he didn't have that feeling of killing, which could also be seen from his face.
After the fat man looked at the coffin over there, he also followed me, and when he saw the man with a black man in the coffin, he couldn't help but glance at it and said: "I'll go to his grandmother's, what's going on, the coffin of two evil doors, there is a man in black clothes lying in the white coffin, and a woman in white clothes is lying in the black coffin, how does this burial method feel a bit of a yin and earthly feeling, is this lying black and white impermanence......"
"Maybe they are the origin of black and white impermanence, and the legend is that there is no wind and no waves." I followed.
"If you look at these murals, they seem to have something to do with the two people lying in here." It was Kui Wu who spoke, and when he saw Kui Wu's attention, he was on those murals, so he looked at the murals and said without looking back.
As soon as he finished speaking, we immediately turned our attention to the murals around us, which were all very large, so that even if we didn't walk up to them, we could see the contents clearly.
In this burial chamber, there are four walls, three of which are frescoed, and there is an axis in the middle of the moor, and on each side of the axis, a mural is painted.
A few flashlights shone back and forth on the three walls, and after I looked around, I said, "The one on the east side is the first one." ”
This point is very easy to distinguish, in ancient times, it was basically to respect the right, that is, there is no right meaning, and those murals, you can also see a story line, so I am sure that the right, that is, we are now on the east wall, is the mural at the beginning of the story.
I saw the first mural, a man, and a woman, look at the man, the stubble on the cheeks is obvious, the grade is also about forty years old, the standard middle-aged man, and the woman, is a lot younger, the body bones are a little thin, giving people a feeling of weakness, the two people directly hugged and sat on a rattan chair, but on the rattan chair, there was a bundle of long ropes.
And in the second painting, the middle-aged man is tied directly to the young woman, directly into a cage made of vines, if I am not mistaken, this thing is the legendary pig cage, that is, there is the kind of man and woman who are caught cheating, they will be tied up and put in it, and then put stones in it, and sink into the river.
On the third painting, it is much simpler, a group of people who look like they are watching the excitement, gathered around the river, looking at the pig cage immersed in the river, and the expressions on their faces are also very weird, and the feeling is twisted, giving people a very hideous feeling.
On the fourth painting, a person dressed as a Taoist priest actually appeared, and I saw that this person had made a case by the river, and some tributes were placed on it, which seemed to be doing it.
On the fifth picture, the Taoist priest is half-bent over, holding a piece of rune paper in his hand, and he is about to stuff it into a small red lacquered coffin, just on the case of the Taoist priest who has placed the tribute, at this time there is an extra baby, wrapped in the cloth, and the appearance is not clear, only two small hands are stretched out, and the direction is the position of the young woman in the pig cage.
The last mural, with nothing painted on it, is on the other side of the axis, and there is no picture in it except for the frame, and there is no text.
The expressions of each of the people on this mural are very realistic and expressive, and from between their eyebrows, it seems that you can feel what they are thinking in their hearts at that time.
"What's so nice about this, the man and the woman above, aren't they the people in this coffin, but the child, the fat man, I think it must be their illegitimate son, this thing is left now, it doesn't count, but in ancient times, it was going to be put into the pig cage, pitiful." After seeing these murals, the fat man has already begun to feel uneven.
The fat man said yes, the man and woman above it, naturally the person in the coffin, in ancient times, once a woman died of her husband, then there was only one fate waiting for her, that is, she must be widowed, that era paid attention to a three from the four virtues, once married, must be from the beginning, can not remarry, but the man said otherwise, three wives and four concubines are all full of streets.
Although it seems very ridiculous now, but in that era, it is indeed like this, since ancient times, there has been a saying that a woman does not serve her husband, just a hundred years ago, if a man and a woman did not go through the order of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, there would be some kind of relationship, that is, fornication, it is also to dip in the pig cage, men and women love something, there is no such thing at all, and it can only appear in the poetry of literati and rioters.
Of course, even in ancient times, it was definitely illegal to dip in pig cages, and the law would definitely not let people do this, but although there was a legal system in that era, in some rural areas, those who had authority were village chiefs or patriarchs, the kind of people with high moral integrity.
Almost every village has its own customs and traditions, the village chief or patriarch, is elected by the villagers, generally an old man, when there is a dispute or dispute in the village, the old man will jump out to play the role of a judge, can easily decide a person's life and death, that kind of financial attribution, or rewards and punishments, etc., are all trivial.
Let people control power, this is the kind of soil emperor, it is easy to cause chaos in the legal system, and it is also very tolerant of social divisions, small-scale wars and the like, and it is the respected old man who decides whether to dip the pig cage in the kind of men and women who have improper relationships, which is a lynching.
What is more strange now is that the baby in that case, logically speaking, the babies born under this kind of fornication in ancient times will not be allowed to live, one is feudal thinking, and the other is also afraid of revenge, if the baby grows up, it is strange not to seek revenge and kill the person concerned, people who grow up in hatred have innate potential, naturally no one dares to keep it, the red lacquer coffin, that is, for the baby.
But we didn't see the bones in the coffin, which is strange.
