Chapter 231: Dipping the Pig Cage in the Forbidden Land
Maybe it's really Ren Tanyu who thinks too simply, he underestimates the smell and hearing ability of the family dog. Not long before he had just entered the entrance of the village, the dog rushed towards him again. But fortunately, with the help of the boss just now, he threw the steamed bun mixed with ecstasy in advance to the dog that was running.
When the dog saw that there was something to eat, he wagked his tail directly, and when he saw this, Ren Tan pouted and smiled, so he continued to walk inside. Since this village has not been planned, it looks very scattered under the foothills, and Ren Tanyu doesn't know which one is the home of the village chief Sun Chengxu, so he can only repeat the old trick and ask for directions again.
After bypassing the ancestral hall of the clan, he could see the houses scattered among the trees, so he quickly came to the door of the nearest farmer's house, and saw that the farmer's house was a bit like some courtyard buildings in the capital, so he knocked on the door outside the gate for a long time and did not see anyone open the door.
So he knocked on the door of the second and third houses, but no one opened the door, he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao that caused so many people to be not at home, in fact, there was nothing wrong with thinking about it, because it was in the afternoon, as a farmer, you need to go out to work.
Thinking about this, Ren Tanyu didn't knock on the door of another house again, but climbed the mountain to find the people of this village, but he didn't expect that he just climbed up the mountain and saw that the square at the bottom of the mountain, that is, the innermost part of the village, was full of black people, and then he understood, it turned out that their village was now in a meeting, no wonder no one answered when he knocked on the door just now.
So Ren Tanyu immediately went down the hill, which was not too big, and saw that these people were all standing in the square listening to a person on the stage, and there were many children playing next to these people. As if these people's affairs had nothing to do with them.
Bypassing these crowds, Ren Tanyu suddenly found that there were not only Shen Mei on the stage, but also Fan Hu and Li Yunxiao. And Fan Hu and Li Yunxiao were also tied up with ropes. He couldn't have imagined this scene in any way.
"Who are you. Who told you to come over? Before Ren Tanyu spoke, the people on the stage saw Ren Tanyu first.
"Master, why are you here, run!" At this time, Fan Hu also saw Ren Tanyu who was probing his brain behind the crowd.
"Brother Ren, why are you here?" At this time, Li Yunxiao also saw Ren Tanxiao.
"Village chief, he's my friend, don't arrest him, I said a long time ago that they are all innocent!" At this time, Shen Mei looked at the person who was speaking on the stage just now and said.
"If you don't catch it, you won't catch it. Come! Tie him up for me! "Who would care what Shen Mei said, and directly asked a few people to tie up Ren Tanyu. This feeling makes Ren Tanyu seem to have returned to ancient times, this person seems to be the leader of a clan, as if the people in this village listen to him.
"Village chief, don't you even believe in the patriarch of your own clan? They've all met our patriarch before, and what I'm saying is true! Shen Mei was still arguing beside her.
"You can see it, we haven't seen any patriarchs, and besides, the patriarchs have already moved to live in the mountains, and we don't have any responsibility for this matter, don't you say?" The village chief raised his hand and looked down at the city, then shouted loudly.
"Yes. Our village chief is right! The villagers in the audience echoed the voice, even though many of them spoke the local dialect. But there are still some people who speak in non-standard Mandarin, so Ren can still hear some of them.
Now it's okay, Ren Tanyu is also the same as Li Yunxiao and Fan Hu, he was tied up and thrown on the stage like a lamb to be slaughtered, panting for breath, thinking about when he was so angry. He blushed and asked Shen Mei: "Miss Shen, what do you mean by this, is it easy for me to come all the way to you?" Is that what you do to me? ”
"No, that's not what I mean, didn't you see it too, now my words don't count, here has always been what our village chief said, as for the trouble so far, I'm really sorry!" Shen Mei also blushed when she saw Ren Tanyu like this, in fact, Ren Tanyu could also see that although she was not tied up, it seemed that she was also controlled by someone.
"Villagers, what do you say we should do with such people?" The village chief saw that the man who had rushed in was also bound, and continued their meeting.
"Dip the pig cage, dip the pig cage ......" the people below shouted loudly in unison.
Regarding the term "dipping pig cage", Ren Tanyu had heard of it, but he didn't expect that he would be punished like this when he just came over, and he didn't know what the reason was.
"Wait, wait a minute, why do you want to dip me in a pig cage, you are illegally depriving others of their lives, and you are violating the laws of the country, do you know the truth?" Ren Tanyu shouted loudly.
"We don't know what kind of national laws we know, we know that your accomplices trespassing on the forbidden land of our people will be punished by God, and since you are their accomplices, then you have to go to the funeral!" The village chief said sternly.
"Forbidden land, what forbidden land?" Ren Tanyu's heart was full of questions, and when he turned his gaze to Shen Mei, he saw Shen Mei nodding slowly.
"You mean Shen Mei, she was originally the daughter of the great witch of her clan, and this forbidden place is open to her, which means that you must not go where she can go!" The village chief saw that Ren Tan was looking at Shen Mei, so he also said another reason for him.
"Shen Mei, what are you saying a word about? What forbidden land, what is the daughter of the Great Witch, I'm confused? Ren Tanyu was really unwilling to die like this, so he asked him.
"Master, in fact, that's the case, the Gu refining pool we saw under the Peach Blossom Source that day is their forbidden place, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife is also a forbidden thing......" Seeing that Shen Mei didn't want to explain, Fan Hu opened his mouth and gave his explanation.
"What, forbidden land? That Yunxiao didn't go, why did you arrest her? Speaking of the Peach Blossom Spring, Ren Tan remembered it, but at that time, Li Yunxiao did not go down but was watching the wind outside, but she didn't expect that now the East Window incident will involve her.
"Even if they don't go, it's useless, they are practicing a joint sitting!" Fan Hu said loudly.
"What's the connection, this kind of ancient justice has long been abolished, why are they still using it?" Ren Tanyu was taken aback when he heard this. Now he can figure it out, it turns out that this place is far away from the Central Plains, and due to the lack of traffic congestion and underdeveloped information, there is still the ancient idea of the family and the world, so at this time, it is still up to the village chief to make the decision on what major matters, and this kind of dipping pig cage is obviously the kind of punishment that punishes the prisoners in the village in the ancient family.
In fact, in ancient times, few people went to the yamen to complain, and under normal circumstances, the village chief and the elder patriarch of the village would try the case on their behalf. In fact, this kind of thing was originally an internal problem in the village, and after a long time, the yamen would save trouble, so I didn't bother to take care of it.
But I didn't expect to suffer such an injustice today due to Fan Hu's accidental entry into the forbidden land, and Ren Tanyu was extremely unlucky. Seeing the strong men of those villages pulling them slowly towards the stream. In fact, although this creek is not big, it is also made of snow on the high mountains, which has been the case for thousands of years, and the amount of water in the upper reaches is indeed not large, but in the middle and lower reaches of the river, due to the perennial impact and accumulation, the water of this creek is still very large and deep. Although Ren Tanyu can swim, but now that he is tied up, if he is really put into a pig cage and then sunk, then he really has no ability to escape.
"Wait, I have something to say!" Seeing that the two strong men were about to throw themselves into the water, Ren Tanyu suddenly thought of something in his mind.
"What do you have to say when death is coming?" The village chief said with a cold face.
"Your name is Sun Chengxu, and you have a younger brother named Sun Chengzong?" Ren Tanlu said hopefully, and at the same time, he also secretly prayed in his heart that the owner of the restaurant did not lie to him, otherwise he would really die this time.
"Stop, hurry up and bring that man to me!" Suddenly stopped until a newcomer could say his name as well as his own brother's name, and it seemed that this person was not simple, so he asked the execution to be suspended.
"Why, who are you, how did you know my name, and my brother's name? Shen Mei is not what you said? The village chief glared fiercely at Shen Mei next to him.
"No, Uncle Sun, I really didn't tell them, besides, why didn't I say this?" Hearing the village chief's words, Shen Mei felt particularly aggrieved.
"To tell you the truth, I know your brother, the village chief, who is now in the county detention center, and he asked me to inform you to save him!" Ren Tanyu saw that the village chief's hanging heart slowly let go.
"What did you say, you said that he was in the detention center, why should I believe you?" That person is naturally not stupid to be the village chief, at this juncture, the other party said that he knew himself and said that his younger brother was in the detention center, how could he not be suspicious, in his heart, maybe this person just wanted to escape punishment, so he didn't dare to easily believe Ren Tanyu.
Hearing him say this, Ren Tanyu's heart was tight, this was indeed his negligence, he forgot to ask Sun Chengzong for a token at that time, but how to say it now to make people believe it, and now it involves something forbidden to say, even if he adds this report, it is estimated that he will not be able to offset it, and he is a little speechless for a while.
"Come on, throw him into the water! Look at him too! The man saw that if Ren Tan Yan was silent, he would no longer be verbose, so he planned to continue the execution.
"Slow, what I said is really all true, although I don't have your brother's token, but I know what he looks like, it is said that your brother is away all the year round, rarely returns to the village, I believe that not many people in the village have seen his face, I will talk about his appearance now!" Ren Tanyu was also forced to come up with this idea.
"Okay, wow, what do you tell me about my brother?" The village chief looked at Ren Tanyu who was struggling in the pig cage with interest and smiled slightly. (To be continued......)
