Chapter 177: Water Ghost (1)
"Huh, isn't this a dipping pig cage?"
The old man broke the key to it, and I also got goosebumps for no reason. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The kind of punishment that the village chief just said is called immersion in the pig cage, which is a kind of folk lynching that specifically punishes women for being unfaithful to their husbands.
Song Qi's jade face was full of fear and anger, while she sympathized with Tian Cuicui, she was even more resentful of those villagers who were full of benevolence and righteousness, why did Tian Cuicui want to use her life's happiness to win the world's recognition?
Don't say that Song Qi doesn't understand, even I, a beneficiary of masculinism, feel wronged for Tian Cuicui, but after thinking about it, the era in which Tian Cuicui lived was different from modern times, although the subject was opened at that time, most people in society were old-fashioned and conservative, although they had turned over and became the masters of the house, but the basic moral bottom line still maintained the old-fashioned dogma of ancient times.
After listening to my words, Songqi was still indignant, for this, the head of the class and the village chief could only smile helplessly a few times, what else...
"The woman who dips in the pig cage will not necessarily die, she will give them a chance to live, and she will not do anything wrong, if you throw the pig cage into the water and drown people, or break free from the rope, even if God does not pursue it, then this matter will be over. ”
This punishment is a bit interesting, and it's quite humane, but a few people can break free, and if you want me to say that you have to die!
The old man pouted his mouth and looked high, but he just snorted disdainfully...
The village chief smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, it is not a chance for the punished, but a chance for the living. The elders said that people who die like this are too resentful in their hearts, and they are most likely to become water ghosts, and they will return to the village to take revenge when they cultivate the climate. If they were told in advance that they would be free from the rope, then before they died, they would transfer all their hatred of the villagers to the rope of liberation, so that their last wish was to free the rope, and after death, they would not become water ghosts and return to the village for revenge. ”
"Lie down, wisdom, I'll just say that you guys aren't so kind, it's been a long time to make trouble so that Tian Cuicui won't become a water ghost and go back to the village to take revenge!"
I couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this, maybe I thought about those so-called old people simply, there are many regulations that are not studied by those old coffin boards, they do things according to the rules, how can they give the unruly woman Dao Tian Cuicui a chance to survive?
That's just a fantasy!
I remember my grandfather told me that there was such a landlord in the past, and he had a lot of long-term workers, and there was a younger sister in the long-term worker's family, and his sister was very beautiful and capable. I don't know what's going on, but the landlord took a fancy to it, so the landlord forced Changgong to marry his sister to himself.
Of course, Changgong didn't want his sister to hand over to a bad old man, so he pushed down the marriage several times.
The landlord was accustomed to being pampered, and he also belonged to a tyrant in the locality, and no one dared to go against his will so decisively, so he came up with a bad idea, falsely accused the long-term worker of stealing things, and reported it to the government and arrested him.
In order to settle the matter, the landlord stuffed some silver into the hands of the official, and within a few days, the government posted a notice indicating the decision to execute Linchi.
On the day of the ceremony, Changgong knelt on the ground and looked at the landlord who was watching the excitement on the sidelines and scolded: "After I die, I will definitely become a ghost and let your family be ruined!"
The landlord's family was frightened when they saw that Changgong's eyes had turned blood-red.
At this time, the landlord said unhurriedly: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, unless you prove it to me." If you squirt blood on the little flag beside you at the moment of death, I will believe it. ”
But everyone was shaking their heads, that long worker was more than ten meters away from the small flag on the flagpole, how could blood splash on the flagpole at such a distance.
But the unexpected happened immediately, and at the moment when the knife and axe hand took up and fell, a stream of blood sprayed straight towards the top of the flagpole, and as a result, a lot of it was sprayed on the small flag.
This frightened the landlord's family, but the landlord turned around and went home happily, and nothing happened afterwards, and the landlord was still in the township.
Later, someone asked him what means he used, after all, the words of the long worker have been fulfilled, and it stands to reason that he will definitely turn into a ghost and come back to ask for his life, why didn't anything happen in the end?
But the landlord said: "Before he died, he shifted all his thoughts to spraying blood on the small flag, and he didn't think about taking revenge on me at all, the last wish, and now he has gone to reincarnation, of course he will not become a ghost!"
This story is the same as the principle of punishment that the village chief said, they all trick the deceased into transferring hatred into a wish that has nothing to do with him before he dies, and when he completes his last wish, he will have no obsession, and of course he will not become a ghost and come back to take revenge.
Since Tian Cuicui's last wish is to untie the rope and escape, it stands to reason that she should not become a ghost, but how can there be anything later?
So I asked, "If you say this, the matter has passed, and Tian Cuicui's ghost will not come back to take revenge!"
"Hi... But how did everyone know that when he threw her into the water, the ruffian secretly bolted a big stone to her, because no one saw it at night, but Tian Cuicui looked at it, and as a result..."
"As a result, a few days later, Tian Cuicui turned into a water ghost!" Before the village chief could continue, the head of the class, Mu Ne, picked up the conversation: "At that time, our family lived by the river, and one night three days later, my parents rowed out to collect nets and catch fish, and only me and my younger siblings were at home. It was a rainy night that I had never seen before. At that time, I was only a teenager, and my scalp was tingling with fear of the noise outside, so I didn't dare to say a word, so I could only hide in the foot of the bed with my younger siblings in my arms and shiver. Just when my sister and I were waiting for my parents to come home, I heard someone knocking on the door, I thought it was my parents coming back, and I went to open the door for my parents, but when I opened the door, I saw that the parents standing outside the door were not going out at all, but... It's a woman with a disheveled head..."
