Chapter 51: Old Customs
Although Ying Zheng has a thousand miles of vision, he has no ears to hear a thousand miles. He used his heavenly eyes to decide, carefully scanned the hundreds of households in Runxiang, and did not even let go of the surrounding pavilions, but still did not find the slightest strangeness.
At this time, Ying Zheng found a tailor shop, used his elusive strength, infiltrated it, took a set of well-fitting clothes to change into, left a piece of gold cake, and quietly left. I came to a stream, took a bath, and changed into cloth clothes, the standard ordinary people's clothes.
Because his clothes were all torn, he had no choice but to become a thief. Walking on the grassy path and admiring the green fields around him, Yingzheng felt a hint of nostalgia in his heart. reminded him of the scenery of the countryside in his hometown in his previous life, and he walked towards the Runxiang Market step by step, wanting to enjoy the tranquility of this moment.
At this time, the Runxiang market was very lively, and a girl about 20 years old was escorted by more than a dozen strong men. Her hands were bound up with a rough piece of hemp rope and she wandered the market. Almost everyone in the entire Runxiang Township came to watch the excitement and began to discuss.
At this time, when they arrived at a high platform in the center of the market, a white-haired old man and several rich men in robes stood on the platform.
Facing the noise of discussion below, the white-haired old man stepped forward, made a silent gesture to the crowd below, and shouted, "Fellow villagers, be quiet. ”
"The old man is good. When the people below saw the old man, their faces all showed flattery and respect, and they greeted in unison.
"Folks, good people. Please be patient and listen to what the old man has to say. Although the old man was old, he was very energetic.
"Villager please. ”
"Yes, patriarch, please speak. ”
In the crowd, every word you say, every word he says, all exude respect for the elderly.
"Well, in that case, the old decay will not beat around the bush. The old township's face showed a hint of comfort, and then his face suddenly became serious and said, "We have been a model for ten miles and eight townships in Huaiyin County over the years. ”
The crowd quieted down, and they all listened quietly, and their eyes all glanced at the girl, but their eyes showed deep incomprehension and questions.
"But the family is unlucky, and the unfilial daughter Yulian in the clan. Funerals humiliate morality, corrupt customs, shame ancestors, get pregnant before marriage, and fornicate with others. The villager's serious expression instantly became a little hideous, as if he was the one who was insulted, and he was resentful.
"What. ”
"Impossible, right?"
"Are you mistaken?"
"Patriarch, Yulian has always been benevolent and filial, gentle and virtuous in all directions, how could she do such a thing?"
The words of the villager were immediately like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, setting off a monstrous wind and waves, and the bottom was suddenly like a fried pot.
"The old man was also very unbelievable at first, Yulian, the child is benevolent and filial, how can he not know it, but after many times by Doctor Xu, the pulse is true. The old man sighed, and once again glanced at the bound Yulian below, he was really heartbroken, and he was angry.
Everyone was silent when they heard Doctor Xu's pulse check many times, and their eyes turned into anger and disdain when they looked at Bilian.
"What do you say?" shouted the villager to the crowd, although his heart hurt, but he could not cheat for personal gain. He, as the head of the clan, did not allow him to do so. This villager is deeply loved by the clansmen and villagers, and he doesn't tolerate him doing this, so he can only ask about the pain of cutting his flesh.
"Burn this slut. ”
"Burn her. ”
"Burn the seed of iniquity. ”
"Burn them. ”
The resentful voices below followed wave after wave, for this kind of mourning and humiliation, immoral women, they could not tolerate it, for this kind of behavior, it was incomprehensible to them.
Looking at the excited scene below, although the villagers had expected it, they were still very sad in their hearts. It's just that he said quietly on the surface, "Everyone be quiet. ”
"Be quiet. The villager looked at the scene a little out of control, and some people had already taken out their things and began to throw Yulian, and immediately repeated it.
After a while, the crowd fell silent. It's just that Yulian's weak body curled up together and squatted on the ground. His head was bloodied and his body was covered with filth.
The old man showed a trace of unbearability in his eyes, after all, this was his most beloved granddaughter. But after thinking about it, there were some things that he couldn't control, he looked at Yulian who was squatting on the ground, her head bleeding and said, "Yulian, you are guilty." ”
"Master......" Yulian raised her head, and before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the old man and scolded, "Shut up, don't call me grandpa." ”
Yulian showed a hint of sadness and pain on her face, pursed her lips and said, "Yes, village elder." Lian'er confessed. ”
"Well, since you are guilty, I, as the clan elder, will ask you on behalf of the villagers. If you confess who the adulterer is, you can spare your life, otherwise the sea of fire is ruthless, and you will not blame the old man for not thinking about the blood. ”
When Yulian heard this, she shook her head without the slightest hesitation, and said firmly, "Lian'er has nothing to say, please ask the villager to burn Lian'er to show the clan rules." ”
"You ......" the villager suddenly stared at the boss, with endless hatred and anger.
"Why are you suffering? Is it worth it?" When the villager saw Yulian, tears couldn't help but scratch off the delicate and peugeot face, and his heart softened, and he explained.
"Is it worth it?" Yulian asked obsessively like a nightmare.
She slowly closed her eyes, did not answer the question, but said in a very resolute tone, "Burn me!" ”
"Okay, if you don't come to your senses, then don't blame the old man for not thinking about family affection. The old villager looked like he hated iron and steel, and pointed to Yulian with trembling all over.
"Someone came, tied her to the torture car, burned incense to honor her ancestors, and then lit a fire to execute. After the old man said this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, took two steps back, and was supported by four middle-aged men in robes behind him.
"Don't, Dad, let go of your granddaughter! Please, let Lian'er go!" At this time, a middle-aged woman ran over, and when she was far away, she began to cry and cry and plead.
The villager felt irritable for a while, his eyes were very unfriendly and he glanced at a middle-aged man beside him, and his tone was very unkind, "Pull her back for me, don't be embarrassed here." ”
"Dad?" said the middle-aged man with a look of grief on his face, a little reluctantly.
"Smack. The villager gave the middle-aged man a slap, and then scolded angrily, "Rebel, it's all a good thing you did, the family education is not strict, see how I clean you up when I go back, you can also go back for me." ”
The middle-aged man was slapped and scolded again, with a look of grievance. It's just that he has been under the majesty of his father for a long time, and he doesn't dare to contradict it. He glanced at Yulian very reluctantly, and then said to the village elder, "Yes, father." ”
The man in the prime of life left the high platform, went down, picked up the woman who was begging for mercy, and dragged it back.
"Lian'er, my Lian'er. The woman was pulled and shouted as she looked at Yulian with tears in her heart.
"Dad, mother, Lian'er is not filial. Yulian just couldn't stop crying, looking at the figure of her parents gradually disappearing, knelt down, bowed three times, and then seemed to have lost her soul, sluggish.
After a while, everyone finished burning incense and worshipping their ancestors.
"Execution. The villager shouted a little tiredly, then turned away, no longer looking at Yulian who was tied to the stake.
"Stop. An abrupt voice came out, and everyone's eyes followed the sound.
