"Sir, don't look at the two of us old, we really work, and we don't lose to those boys at all." Lu Erqi, the elder of the second room, said, "So let's go hunt locusts and leave him alone." ”

"Although he is not a villager of our Lujia Village, he is a person after all." Qin Yu said, "Therefore, his injury is not a trivial matter. ”

Soon, the three of them arrived at the corpse's house.

After they rescued the man just now, they sent him to the corpse's house for treatment.

"How's his injury, Miss Corpse?" Seeing the corpse who was pounding medicine at the door, Qin Yu asked.

"The persecution this person received before was very serious, resulting in a much worse physique than normal people, to be precise, a sick man. In addition, he had not eaten for several days and was severely beaten, so his situation was not optimistic. "However, after my treatment, he should wake up soon." Wake up is to wake up, but it is difficult to return to normal. ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Qin Yu said.

"It's fine." Lingshu's face turned red and said.

"Since this man's life is not in danger, let's go hunt for locusts." Lu Jinyan, the elder of the third room, said.

"There's one thing that I find strange." Qin Yu didn't pay attention to it, but condensed his mind.

"What's wrong?" Lu Erqi, the elder of the second room, asked.

"When we rescued him just now, why did the patriarch recognize him at a glance as a person from Tangjia Village?" Qin Yu said, "Because of the high mountains and long roads, don't you two villages basically have no contact?" ”

"And the most recent intersection between the two villages was a fight a hundred years ago."

"Even that weapon fight was seen by you in the file, which means that you may not have been to Tangjia Village in your life. Since I've never been there, why do you recognize it at a glance? ”

"It's true that we haven't been to Tangjia Village, but the people in Tangjia Village have unique marks on their bodies." The elder of the second room said, "And there is more than one mark on their bodies." ”

"Oh?" Qin Yu became curious.

"Sir will find out for himself." Lu Jinyan said.

When Qin Yu heard this, he walked into the room with a few people, and then saw the villager of Tangjia Village on the sickbed.

"His mark is on the foot." Lu Jinyan said.

Qin Yu looked down, and sure enough, he found that between his feet, there was a rusty iron chain. After pulling up his trouser legs, I saw that his ankles, which were supported by iron chains, were full of burns.

However, these wounds have now scabbed.

From these scars, it can be seen that the chain was welded to death, not a live buckle.

Qin Yu's expression suddenly froze.

"It's one of their ancient customs." Lu Jinyan explained, "Children in Tangjia Village, from the age of three, both men and women, will be fitted with a heavy iron chain on their feet by a blacksmith. ”

"When blacksmiths put chains on them, the hot iron tends to burn their delicate skin."

"That's cruel, isn't it?" Qin Yu couldn't believe what he heard.

I couldn't help but say something extremely brain-dead: "Those children, won't it hurt?" ”

"Three-year-olds, what do you know?" Lu Erqi said, "After their injuries are healed, they will naturally forget about the previous pain." They don't even have the memory of that trauma in their heads, and they still have fun and are very naïve after that. As they grew older, the blacksmiths would keep changing them, thicker and larger chains. ”

"They have become accustomed to, and even felt, that chains are part of their bodies."

"They even feel that the chain is their pride and glory."

"Why do you want to put chains on them from an early age?" The corpse couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, and said, "When I treated him before and saw his chains, I thought he was some kind of prisoner. ”

"This custom seems to have started a thousand years ago." Lu Jinyan said, "At that time, the patriarch cruelly abused the clansmen, and many clansmen fled, so the patriarch came up with this method to keep the villagers, and at the same time, to prevent the villagers from rebelling against him. This custom was written into the clan rules by them, and whoever dared to resist would be killed, and over time, the villagers became accustomed to it, and at the same time, no one dared to resist. ”

"It's just a human and god's outrage!" Qin Yu said.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Lu Jinyan said.

"Before, our village also had a bad habit of sinking ponds, but after being changed by Mr., we realized how wrong the previous bad habits were." Lu Erqi said, "If we were the same as before, I wouldn't think there was anything wrong with their customs at all, after all, our Lujia Village and their Tangjia Village are also fifty steps and a hundred steps." ”

"But after our bad habits were cleared by Mr., we now realize how outrageous their customs are."

"Sir, they also have a unique mark." The elder of the second room said, "It's the tattoo on their back." ”

When Qin Yu heard this, he opened the clothes on his back and looked at it, only to see a pitch-black steel cage tattooed on it, the iron rod of the cage was at least as thick as an arm, and the four pillars of the cage had hideous demon figures.

"In the thousand-year-old custom of Tangjia Village, it is said that the cage tattoo on their back is sacred and no one can desecrate it. So when they walked, they didn't dare to straighten up. The elder of the second room said, "So they are like Luo Guo disabled people, they always walk on their stomachs." ”

"Remember their noses are also special." Lu Jinyan said, "The people of Tangjia Village also have a custom, that is, to make holes in both sides of the nose, wear nose rings, and stuff a small wooden stick inside. ”

"Their custom is that whoever nails the thicker the stick, the braver he is."

"Can this still breathe normally?" Qin Yu said.

"It is precisely because of these ancient customs that the villagers of Lujia Village are generally weak." Lu Sanqi Road.

When Qin Yu heard this, his heart shook.

I couldn't speak for a long time.

"Corpse, help him remove the chains, wash off his cage tattoos, and remove the sticks from his nose." I don't know how long it took for Qin Yu to say to the Lingshu.

"Yes, sir." Spiritual Pivot Road.

"But sir, shouldn't we respect other people's customs?" Lu Jinyan said.

"Do you need to respect such a custom?" Qin Yu said.

"The gentleman thinks their customs are bad, but they feel that their customs are sacred. The old man is sure that after removing these from him, he will definitely find his husband when he wakes up. Lu Erqi, the elder of the second room, said, "Because these things are their pride and faith." ”

"The affairs of Tangjia Village have nothing to do with Mr., so it's better not to take care of this kind of thing." Lu Jinyan said.

"It's a thankless job." Lu Erqi said, "Mr. thinks he is helping him, but he thinks that Mr. is harming him." ”
