Chapter Twenty-Eight: Behind the Curtain

Foot binding, also known as the three-inch golden lotus, is one of the ancient bad habits, this bad habit began in the Song Dynasty, when people generally regarded small feet as a standard of beauty, and women regarded foot binding as a virtue, and did not hesitate to endure severe pain to wrap their small feet. People call the wrapped feet "lotus", and the feet of different sizes are different grades of "lotus", larger than four inches are iron lotus, four inches are silver lotus, and three inches are golden lotus. The three-inch nasturtium was considered to be the most beautiful little foot for women at that time.

There are different theories about the origin of foot binding. Some say it started in the Sui Dynasty, some say it started in the Tang Dynasty, and some say it started in the Five Dynasties. Some people even call Yu's wife and Daji in the Xia and Shang periods small feet. It can be said that there are different opinions, and there is no consensus. However, according to historians, according to historical records, the bad habit of foot binding should have originated during the period of ethnic integration between the North and the South, and it is very likely that foot binding was brought in by the northern ethnic minorities.

In the Ming Dynasty, the trend of women's foot binding entered a prosperous period and developed rapidly in various places. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the peasant uprising, entered Sichuan, he cut off women's small feet, and piled them up into a mountain, called Jinlian Peak, which shows the prosperity of women's foot binding in Sichuan. During this period, there were also certain requirements for the shape of the foot, and women's small feet should not only be small, shrinking to three inches, but also bowed, and wrapped into the shape of horns.

Foot wrapping in the same sound as the national football also agreed, at that time women generally wrapped small feet as beauty, wearing three-inch golden lotus embroidered shoes that the foot was not as small as the palm of the hand, from the outside it is a little meaning, but the foot binding is always a deformed and sick beauty, and the aborigines of Africa pierced the lips and ears to make the beauty of the beauty.

Women usually begin to wrap their feet when they are young, that is, they use foot wraps to bind their toes to let them grow downward, and as they grow older, the feet will gradually be folded up, like a fist in their hands, this process is painful and long, and when the feet are wrapped into a three-inch golden lotus, it is almost useless, the feet are small but the foot surface is no longer effective, and it is difficult to walk, and it has to move little by little, which is one of the bad habits for thousands of years.

It is also because in the old days, women were beautiful to wrap their little feet, and later the women's paper figures who went out of the funeral would also be pierced into small feet and put on a three-inch golden lotus to look good.

It is said that there are two paper people's daughters-in-law with embroidered three-inch golden lotus on their feet lying on the earthen kang in the west house of this house, and the key is that one of the two paper people is wearing a red wedding robe, and the other is wearing a dead man's funeral clothes.

The first volume of the story of "Chasing the Grave", we have to separate a few people from the grave team and tell it slowly, and you don't need to guess later, I will directly let you know what happened at the end, and then tell the series of weird, bizarre, and scary things that happened in the middle, you just have to watch it without thinking about anything, if you are tired of watching, you will also listen to my nagging will be idle, relax your mood, rest more and stay up late, naturally your body will sleep well, and naturally you will not have nightmares to go to the grave to let the old zombies chase it. Okay, let's continue to talk about the haunting of this house.

The eyes of several people from the militia group slowly lifted the door curtain with the footprints on the ground, revealing a pair of three-inch golden lotus embroidered in red from under the door curtain. If you want to say that this is not a person who is not afraid, then there is nothing to be afraid of, the dim fire flickered a few times and then extinguished, and the room fell into a dark silence again, only the three-inch golden lotus under the double door curtain was still clearly visible, and the bright red color seemed to be unable to be swallowed by the darkness.

The leader of the civil team, who was still holding the curtain, put down the curtain as soon as his hand was weak, stared and turned his head to look at the few people behind him, all of them were stunned, and they didn't react for a long time.

The captain took a few breaths, swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and asked in a low voice, "Is the fuck really alive?" What about this, this? Who wants to go in? ”

Several people present were frightened, how could anyone dare to go in, just now without turning their heads, it was quite a shame to give the captain face, they all shrank their necks and raised their guns to fire a few shots through the door curtain, no matter what it is, first hit a few holes.

At that time, the captain saw that they were about to shoot, and wanted to stop it in case there was a person behind the curtain, but at that time, one of them was already frightened, and raised the gun and fired a few shots, and his ears were buzzing when he was close to the gunshot.

Just after he finished firing the five bullets in the bolt, he kept pulling the trigger, looking frightened, he couldn't control himself anymore, and after pulling the empty trigger several times, he knew that there were no bullets, and he was going to stab the head of the gun again.

At this time, the captain reacted, and immediately snatched his gun, reversed the body of the gun and smashed the man to the ground with the butt of the gun, knelt down directly and pressed the person who was hit by him with his knees and scolded: "Are you crazy grandma?" Aren't you afraid of shooting your own people when you are so close? Why can't he take you back? Isn't it underwhelming? ”

Before he could finish scolding, someone next to him touched him, and the captain turned his head to ask him what he was doing, but the man quickly made a silent gesture and motioned for everyone to look at the curtain of the West House.

I could vaguely see that there were several holes in the curtain, revealing the cotton wool and other things in the middle, all dirty, and there were two shots in the middle, and a large hole was opened, and from this hole it seemed that something flashed inside, and after this quiet, I could also hear the rustling sound in the room, like the sound of deliberately using the soles of shoes when walking.

The movement was irregular and fragmented, but soon, it felt like someone was moving behind the curtain. Everyone present was frightened, and they were weak with guns in their hands, and if there were ghosts or something, I was afraid that the bullets would be useless to them, but would provoke them.

The militia group used to be soldiers, and later returned to their hometowns to join the militia, they were rough and bold, and they used to run bombs with bullets on their scalp crotch, but the general superstition in that era was still very heavy, and real knives and guns could fight face to face, but this inexplicable ghost thing was terrifying from the bottom of my heart, if anyone spread that a place was haunted or that there was a dead person's unjust soul to catch a stand-in, they were designated to go around, hey, this is such a group of people.

At this moment, they just decided that the paper figure in the house was alive and was wandering around the house. The legs and stomachs trembled, and he couldn't lift his legs and couldn't take a step if he wanted to run, so he could only look at the captain and ask him what to do.

The captain was also afraid, so he whispered: "This is not right, this is really wrong, let's withdraw." As soon as the words fell, before everyone could start to move their feet out, they heard a rustling sound at the door of the west room, and then the door curtain was lifted into a human shape from the inside.
