Sword Roaring to the Heavens: Seeking Taoism from Yihua Palace

Chapter 117 This Woman Has Wronged
Jiang Yuyan looked at Jiang Chen obsessively, she was so happy to be with such a strange man, she originally had a lot of resentment towards her cheap father Jiang Biehe, but now she felt a little grateful to him.

The weather was fine, and they came to a lake, which was very beautiful, and there were beautiful swans in the lake.

Several girls sighed.

"It's so beautiful. I really want to build a cottage by the lake. It must be very comfortable to live in seclusion here."

"It's easy to do."

Suddenly, I saw villagers clamoring towards the lake, as if they were carrying pig cages.

But after a closer look, there was a woman with a lingering charm in the pig cage, who was less than 40 years old.

And that young woman's eyes were stubborn, and she went to die calmly, without a trace of fear in her eyes.

This group of villagers wanted to throw the woman into the water and drown her alive, which was really cruel.

As a punishment in the old days, pig cage soaking is to put the prisoner into the pig cage, tie a rope at the opening, hang it up, and put it into the river for immersion. For misdemeanors, let his head stick out of the water and soak for a certain period of time; Those who can be drowned and drowned to death are usually punished for adultery (adultery).

The original meaning of the pig cage is: it is made for the convenience of transporting pigs. It is made of bamboo strips, cylindrical, and made of mesh. The mesh is quite large and one end is open.It is also a kind of cruel lynching in ancient times. If a woman was unfaithful to her fiancé or husband before marriage (engagement) or after marriage, and had an affair with other men, her husband could arrest her wife. Soaking pig cages means putting people in cages made of bamboo and then throwing them into the water to drown them alive.

This kind of flirtatious woman is really cast aside by everyone. Generally speaking, outsiders have no way to intervene in their own affairs in the village.

Just seeing a trace of relief in the woman's eyes.

In this case, this woman must be full of grievances.

Such things were not surprising in ancient times.

So they didn't take action to stop it, but Jiang Chen couldn't remain indifferent.

"I'll go take a look."

"Uncle Jiang, are you going to save that woman?"

"decide as things go."

Everyone followed curiously. At this time, the villagers put the pig cages by the water, and then under the auspices of the village chief, they prepared to torture.

This is a lynching that is not in accordance with the law, but the government acquiesced to this kind of behavior.

In the old society, if a woman was found to have an improper relationship with other men, or a woman flirted with other men outside her husband's back, she could report to the village or other grassroots elders, or very prestigious elders, once confirmed If it becomes a fact, men will be beaten to death with sticks, and women will be put into pig cages and thrown into the river to drown.

Men and women have illicit relationships, and men are also said to be immersed in pig cages, which is also shown in many film and television dramas.

The ancients regarded women's chastity very badly, and considered it immoral, and resorted to the extreme method of dipping in pig cages to punish extramarital affairs.In fact, this is a disregard for life.There are also many criminal cases where adultery breeds.

Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing committed adultery and poisoned Wu Dalang to death. Wu Song avenged his brother and beat Ximen Qing to death. In today's society, there are many cases of revenge and murder due to adultery.The ancients expected to use the method of soaking pig cages to deter improper sexual behavior.

Just as the villagers were grumbling loudly, they suddenly saw outsiders approaching.

The villagers saw their extraordinary demeanor, and their tone of questioning was much gentler.

"She did something outrageous to throw her into the water."

"He seduced Liu Er from the village and had an affair with him."

"But I must feel wronged by the way she looks."

Just when he said these words, the woman's eyes lit up, and that expression seemed to meet her confidant.

"If you have any grievances, say it now, don't be a wronged ghost."

"I... I was wronged. It was Liu Er who raped me, and I didn't seduce him."

"You're talking nonsense. If you didn't seduce Liu Er, how could Liu Er provoke you?"

"Yes, your husband has been dead for many years, you must be unable to bear the loneliness to hook up with Liu Er."

…………

The villagers began to insult and accuse the woman again.

The woman's face was ashen, and the little hope in her heart was extinguished.

Jiang Chen saw that this matter was led by the village chief, did the village chief have the benefit of charging Liu Er.

"If this matter is not investigated clearly, she cannot be dealt with."

"What qualifications do you, a foreigner, have to meddle in our village's affairs?"

"Why, just because my fist is harder than yours."

Jiang Chen casually slapped the water surface, only to hear an explosion sound, and the water surface splashed more than ten meters, scaring the villagers so much that they didn't dare to act rashly.

"Xiao Yu'er and Wu Que, follow the villagers to bring Liu Er here. I want to ask about this in person."

"Ok."

Watch them lead a villager towards the village.

But Jiang Chen and the others waited patiently.

After a long while, they finally came back, and Jiang Chen saw Liu Er's face, and his dodging eyes, the man with wandering eyes was not upright.

When Liu Er was brought, he immediately complained.

"The village chief, save me quickly, these two people have somehow arrested me."

The village chief wanted to speak but was afraid and glanced at Jiang Chen.

"Liu Er, you said she seduced you on her own initiative."

"That's right, this widow has the audacity to seduce me, and even if the seduction fails, she slanders me and rapes her."

"Then did you do that?"

"How could I fall in love with this kind of woman."

"This is strange. There are so many men in the village. You have no flesh on your cheeks and you look so ugly. Any one here is prettier than you. She doesn't seduce others, so why does she seduce you?"

"Maybe she likes mine."

"Really, what happened to the scratch on your arm?"

"I accidentally caught it myself."

"You grabbed it yourself, your nails are so short, and how did you grab your right hand with your own right hand."

"What do you mean?"

No one understood what this meant.

"If he had scratched with his left hand, the scratches couldn't have looked like that."

Everyone tried to grab the right hand with their left hand and everyone suddenly realized.

Now the ignorant villagers looked at Liu Er with strange eyes, and Liu Er panicked.

"Liu Er, don't you admit it? Look at the bloodshot in her fingernails. May I ask you a man who is so thin and weak. If you didn't force her, what would she do to you?"

"I... the village chief..."

"I didn't expect you to be such a person. I really misread you."

"Village chief, you took my money, you can't turn your face and deny people."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I charge you money? Your car wants to implicate me."

"Liu Er, don't struggle anymore, the village head will not do such dirty things with you with an upright face."

"Yes."

Jiang Chen is not helping the village chief, but the woman will have to live in the village in the future, and life will be difficult after offending the village chief.

Now Liu Er was completely desperate.

Although a woman has been wronged, but being defiled by others, living in the village in the future will definitely make people roll their eyes and speak.

Jiang Chen also considered this matter.

Liu Er was locked in a pig cage, thrown into the water and drowned.

But Jiang Chen left the woman behind.

"If you think about everything, don't take it too seriously. I don't think you can stay in the village anymore. This is 100 taels. You leave here and take your daughter to a place where no one knows to start a new life."

The woman knelt down towards Jiang Chen, but he stopped her
"My son's great kindness and virtue, I can only repay you in the next life."

"Go back, no matter how difficult life is, don't have the idea of ​​committing suicide, there is always hope in life."

Seeing the woman go back, everyone sighed in their hearts, they looked at Jiang Chen with a feeling of admiration in their hearts.

Jiang Yuyan held his hand, she was completely in love with this man, not just attracted by his appearance.

They continued on their way on horseback, seeing no place to stay before dark.

Fortunately, there is a cave, and everyone rested in the cave for one night.

The bright fire illuminates everyone, everyone is in pairs, only Su Ying is alone.

"Uncle Jiang, please tell us a story. When I was young, Uncle Jiang told me the story of Journey to the West. That story is really wonderful, and the powerful monkey still lingers in my mind."

"Uncle Jiang, hurry up and tell us about Journey to the West."

Seeing everyone's interest, he could only tell the story of "Journey to the West".

Pangu opened up, three emperors ruled the world, five emperors set the wheel, and the world was divided into four major continents: Dongshengshenzhou, Xiniuhezhou, Nanfangbuzhou, and North Juluzhou.This book lists Dongsheng Shenzhou.There is a country overseas called Aolai Country.The country is near the sea, and there is a mountain in the sea called Huaguo Mountain.This mountain is the ancestral vein of the ten continents, and the dragon from the three islands.What a mountain!There are words as evidence.

After talking for an hour, Jiang Chen was really tired, so he stopped.

"What's next? How about Sun Wukong being pressed behind Wuzhishan?"

"Yeah, hurry up and say it, I'm so anxious!"

"You don't care if my throat can bear it or not, I really regret telling you any stories."

"Then you will continue to talk tomorrow."

"What should I do, I can't sleep at night."

…………

After several days of rushing, they finally arrived at the deep mountain where Yan Nantian lived in seclusion.

The dense and deep mountains are smoky from a distance, as if there are immortals living in seclusion.

The mountain road here is rugged, and it is difficult to go in on horseback, so I can only dismount and walk.

Tether the horses in lush pastures with enough grass to feed them for days.

They went in slowly, and they could still enjoy the scenery along the way, Yuyan's skills were weak, so Jiang Chen helped him when the mountain road was rough.

After walking for half a day on the mountain road, they finally arrived at a fairyland on earth, with a magnificent waterfall, surrounded by birds and flowers, and there was a hut made of wood and bamboo not far from the water pool, and when they approached, a majestic figure suddenly approached.

"Hahaha..." The hearty and loud voice resounded through the mountains and forests.

"father……"

"Uncle Yan..."

Zhang Jing and Xiao Yuer shouted at the same time.

In the distance, Zhang Sanniang came out of the hut, Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque marveled that there is such a beautiful woman in the world.

"mother……"

Zhang Jing shouted happily, and ran towards her mother.

"You girl is finally willing to come back."

Yan Nantian patted Jiang Xiaoyu's shoulder.

"you have grown up!"

"Uncle Yan."

Yan Nantian looked past Xiao Yu'er at the smiling Jiang Chen.

"Second brother!"

The three became sworn brothers, Wan Chunliu was the oldest, he was the eldest brother, Yan Nantian was the second brother, and he was the third brother.

"Third brother!"

The two walked towards each other, hugged together, and their voices were generous.

"Third brother, you are finally willing to come to see me. It's been a long time, and it's been a long time since the wicked Gu Yibie."

"Yeah, I have been entangled in the secular world these years, if I hadn't met Jingjing, I don't know how long it would be before seeing each other."

"Who are these?"

Jiang Chen introduced them one by one, and when he introduced Hua Wuque, he knew that he was actually the son of his former good brother Yulang Jiang Feng, and he was filled with emotion.

He patted Wu Que's shoulder hard, and could feel his love.

Hua Wuque didn't have any feelings for Yan Nantian, so he was a little overwhelmed by his concern.

Zhang Sanniang walked towards them.

"Long time no see, Yu Niang."

The two are like siblings.

When I came to the hut, it was not very big, some people were sitting and some were standing.

"Third brother, you can do it. With Yaoyue's personality, you can still take concubines. It's really unbelievable."

"Second brother, they are all equal wives here, and they are all equal relationships."

"you are awesome!"

Then Jiang Chen and Yan Nantian chatted hotly, and their daughter prepared dinner.

In the evening, Jiang Chen and Yan Nantian drank happily, and Yan Nantian's arrogance was convincing.

Taking advantage of the climax of the atmosphere, Jiang Chen proposed Xiao Yu'er and Zhang Jing's marriage.

Yan Nantian and Zhang Sanniang are naturally satisfied with this marriage, and Xiao Yuer was also raised by Yan Nantian, so he can accept it emotionally.

The marriage between Hua Wuque and Tie Xinlan needs to be presided over by Yaoyue, Lianxing and Tie Zhan.

Preparations for the wedding began the next day.

The wedding was a bit simple, but the atmosphere was quite good.

The hut temporarily let Xiaoyuer and Zhang Jing be the wedding room.

Just like that, under Jiang Chen's intervention, Xiao Yu'er didn't stay with Su Ying in the end.

Maybe if the friends from the previous life know about it, they will scold him to death.

Xiao Yuer is lively and active, and always likes to be mischievous, and has a similar temperament to the merciless little pepper Zhang Jing who always likes to wear red clothes, beat people with a whip, and show no mercy.

Xiaojiali's mother is Zhang Sanniang, the former "No. [-] beauty in the Jianghu". In addition, she is playful and flexible, so she is called "Little Fairy".Xiaoyu'er and Xiaojiali didn't know each other before, they were happy friends.

No matter from the agility of personality or the daring to love and hate in mood, Xiao Yuer and Xiaojiao are very compatible, and they are simply a match made in heaven.

Xiao Yu'er always likes to tease the jumping little pepper, and the little pepper's pungent character always refuses to admit defeat. He always takes a whip to "chase and kill" all the way, but he never succeeds. son's hand.

Until Xiaoyuer teased Xiaojiali and kissed Xiaojiali secretly, Xiaojiali's originally hazy feelings for Xiaoyuer became clear in an instant.

Knowing that Xiaojiali likes Xiaoyuer, she never feels ashamed of Xiaoyuer's tattered clothes, and doesn't care about Xiaoyuer's "doing evil" everywhere. She looks happy and happy every day.

When Xiao Yu'er broke into Murong Jiu's training place by mistake, he was chased and killed by Murong Jiu's hatred, and Xiaojiao always helped Xiao Yu'er escape from birth.Little fish and little pepper are so interesting and joyful.

This is why Jiang Chen tried his best to match them up.
