Chapter 397: A Helpless Move
It is said that someone once kept four monkeys in the same cage and gave them a small amount of food every day, making the monkeys dizzy with hunger.
Then a toilet tank is placed on top of the cage, and a rope is hung down, and if the rope is pulled, the water in the tank will be flushed down, and the monkeys below will be poured into soup chickens.
Then the designer tied a bunch of bananas to the rope and waited for the monkeys to pull the rope.
The four hungry monkeys saw that the banana's eyes were green, and after a fight, the four monkeys finally decided to be the Monkey Boss, the Monkey Second, the Monkey Three, and the Monkey Fourth.
The monkey boss came to the banana in a daze, grabbed the banana, and tried to pull it down. As a result, the banana didn't come down, and the water in the tank washed down, which was poured by the monkey boss, grinning, and the designer was also relatively damaged, and the water tank was filled with hot water, and the monkey boss was scalded, so he had to go back stupidly.
Monkey second look, the opportunity has come. So I also coaxed over, but when I dragged the banana, it was scalded enough. Similarly, the third and fourth monkeys are not much better.
Subsequently, the designer released the monkey boss and replaced it with a monkey Lao Wu, the monkey entered the cage and looked, alas, I go, there are bananas, why don't the three stupid monkeys eat it? So he had to be ready to drag the banana, but as soon as he got under the banana, he was grabbed and beaten by the remaining monkeys.
The three monkeys thought, Nima is really looking for death, I don't know that as soon as I pull the rope, hot water will wash down, stupid! But this monkey didn't know, and he couldn't beat the other three monkeys, so he had to squat in the corner and think about it, what is this weishenme?
Subsequently, the designer put the second monkey out, and put in a monkey six, the same, this thing saw the banana and wanted to pull it down, but the three monkeys, including the fifth monkey, also held down the sixth monkey and beat him violently.
Until the fourth monkey is released, only Monkey Five, Monkey Six, Monkey Seven and Monkey Eight are left in the cage at this time. The monkeys didn't know what would happen when they dragged the banana, but none of them dared to pull the banana, because if they were about to pull the banana, they would be beaten up by the other monkeys.
Through this little story, we can understand how the custom came about. In the beginning, maybe an accident led people to think that something would happen if they brought something, for example, a woman who went out to sea to fish, and then encountered a strong wind, and the boat sank. Then when you go out to sea to fish in the future, the person concerned will say that it is unlucky to take a woman out to sea to fish, and you should not take a woman to sea. And then it becomes some kind of unwritten rule.
As a result, when the person who made the rules died, the people behind didn't know that Weishenme couldn't take women out to sea to fish, but only knew that the predecessors left this rule, and they just obeyed it, and as a result, the later people became monkeys after the fifth monkey, and over time, the rules became customs, of course, this is the origin of customs.
After listening to Lao Yu's explanation, I motioned to the other party to continue, and Lao Yu loosened his neck and continued: "When the three of us got off the plane, the other party had already arranged an off-road vehicle for us to use. From the time I got on the plane and got in the car, I drove for two days and one night, and I basically didn't close my eyes. Later, when we arrived at the depths of a mountain, the three of us abandoned the car and walked for most of the day before we found the place that the young man who had been tricked said.
Meng Po took advantage of her identity as a Miao ethnic group to communicate with the patriarch of the local village for a long time, and the other party reluctantly agreed to let us talk to the Miao Jiang woman who was under the Gu.
But the result of the negotiation made us very disappointed, it seems that that woman only has the ability to play Gu, but she has no ability to solve Gu. In desperation, Meng Po found the respected elder in the village, hoping that the other party could find a way to remove the aiqing Gu on the young man.
The other party came up and rejected Meng Po's request, but fortunately, Meng Po's identity is relatively special, it should be the witch in the Miao Jiang Gu people, it seems to be such an identity. Speaking of zuihou, the elders in the village agreed to conditionally remove the aiqing Gu on the young man's body, but in exchange, Meng Po wanted to take a piece of Shanghaode Tianshan Hanyu in exchange. ”
Looking at my confused appearance, I am older than this Indian Ah San, who can't read minds, and I guessed that I was going to ask Ya what Tianshan Hanyu is. So this product didn't wait for me to ask, and directly explained: "It is a kind of jade that is contained in the mouth after a person dies, and among this kind of jade, the Tianshan cold jade has the best effect." However, it is said that the real Tianshan cold jade can keep the corpse from decaying or destructive, and has the effect of maintaining the original appearance of the corpse. The other party's request for this kind of request is basically equivalent to making Meng Po give up the idea of saving people.
But that elder really underestimated Meng Po's ability. is still the same thing, the people who can ask Meng Po to make a move are either rich or expensive, as long as the other party can offer conditions, this side has the ability to achieve it.
So, on the twenty-ninth day after the young man was sent to the village where we were, the family sent their child, that is, the young man and the Tianshan Hanyu that the other party had begged for, to the village where we were located.
After getting the Tianshan Cold Jade, the elders in the village looked extremely entangled. Originally, I was going to say a long-lost object that made Meng Po and us desperate for saving people, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and people really got it for him, and now it's not to save people, and it's not to save it, it's really a dilemma.
At this time, the girl who gave the young man aiqing Gu appeared, and she made a request, that is, to fight with Meng Po, if she loses, let the elder help the young man lift the aiqing Gu she ordered, and if she wins, then let the young man die with her.
Meng Po was very helpless, she originally wanted to save the lives of these two people, but now it is good, but she has to fight to the death to save the life of that young man. But Meng Po also knew that this was the custom of this nation, and if she didn't agree, the young man and the girl in front of her would have to die.
After weighing the pros and cons, Meng Po agreed to the girl's request, and the two sides began to fight in the center of the village.
Because Meng Po was a guest, she could choose to attack first, so she saw that Meng Po walked towards the girl step by step very calmly, while the opposite stood in place, waiting for Meng Po's attack.
When he was halfway there, he saw Meng Po shake her sleeves, and many golden particles were scattered from it, flying towards the other party. The girl was taken aback, then her thumb and middle finger rattled.
Looking at the competition venue again, they began to drill out one colorful little snake after another, and began to crawl towards Meng Po with a letter spitting.
At that time, Chrissy and I were really frightened, and the snake that the girl had drawn out would never forget it for the rest of her life, and it was really beautiful, but if she was bitten, she would probably die an ugly death.
Just as the little snakes were about to climb to the feet of Meng Po, the girl opposite suddenly fell to her knees on the ground, and said with tears that she had lost, and I was confused with Chrissy, and I had no idea what was going on.
Then, a frightening scene happened in front of everyone's eyes, just see the girl snap her fingers again, the little snake that had just attacked Meng Po began to turn around, and all pounced on the girl, and in just a while, the girl was eaten clean by the snake.
When the little snakes dispersed, all that was left on the ground was a pile of blackened bones and the ground wet with the girl's tears.
