He Shun nodded and said, "Yes! Those who are not married and those who die will be thrown into the widow's land! Because women without offspring are regarded as unlucky people and are punished by God. Therefore, after death,
, can only be thrown on the ground and let the body be picked up by wild beasts."
Such a custom is indeed too cruel, and it is really unfair to women! In the eyes of this village, women are just tools for giving birth. If a woman no longer has the instinct to give birth, then this woman is
You can be thrown into the wilderness to feed wild animals. This... really makes me unable to understand!
I know that rural people have a deep-rooted preference for boys over girls, but this is the first time I have seen someone so stubborn!
Before I spoke, He Bian continued, "Actually, things are much better now. At least after the widow's man dies, the woman can still live until she dies. In the past, if the man died and had no offspring, the woman did not have to bear the burden of raising children.
If she has no responsibility, the villagers will tie her hands and feet and throw her to the widow's land to fend for herself. She is said to be fending for herself, but her hands and feet are tied, and there are many wild beasts in that place. Being thrown there is actually letting her die alive.
If you die, no one will survive.”
I asked with a puzzled look, "The widow's husband is dead, can't she continue to find someone else to be her husband?"
He Shun cheered and said, "You can kill a husband, who else dares to marry? Even an old bachelor doesn't dare to marry."
This really makes me speechless. This kind of custom is really unacceptable!
But my main purpose is not to change their customs and ideas, but to find a women's village. Thinking of this, I asked He Shun, "By the way, He Shun, do you have a custom called walking marriage here? I heard your accent.
, you should be Mosuo!"
He Shun nodded and said, "Yes, we used to have this custom, but it was destroyed by bandits on the mountain! At that time, when a girl put her towel at the door, the bandits would take it and sneak into the house. They would go in and snatch the girl away directly.
After several girls were robbed, the village no longer dared to maintain this custom."
"So, this custom doesn't exist around here anymore, right?"
He Shun thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know if it exists in other places, but it definitely doesn't exist here."
"By the way, I have one more thing to ask you. Have you heard of any village near here that is all owned by women?"
When He Shun heard what I said, he shook his head again and said, "No, there is no such village! Even if there is, it definitely doesn't exist anymore. Women are the favorites of bandits on the mountain. Any house with a beautiful girl will be snatched by the bandits on the mountain to be his wife."
, there is such a village, it may have been robbed long ago."
That's right! If there were really robbers around here, all the women in the women's village would have been robbed long ago!
Rousseau really came to a women's village, a village full of women. Could it be that the people living in that village were not human beings?
If it's not a human being, then could this village be a ghost in the Widow's Field?
Thinking of this, I immediately looked at He Shun and asked, "Are there any rumors of ghosts in the Widow's Land?"
He Shun nodded and said, "Yes, there are often women crying over there at night! You can hear it clearly as long as you get a little closer. I heard it when I was burying people with them, and more than one person heard it.
One, but there are too many. Uncle Li from the village went to that place after being drunk and was frightened to death."
<
br> "The year before last, Uncle Li went to the next village to have a wedding banquet. As a result, he was too drunk and came home late! When he returned home, he didn't know what happened, so he walked to the widow's land. The villagers found him there the next day.
When we found him, he was not dead. After returning home, he went crazy and said that he had encountered a ghost. Later, the old man in the village fixed him up. He told the old man that he clearly left home that night.
He was walking along the road, but for some reason, he ended up at the widow's field. He met many women in the widow's field. Most of those women had no arms, legs, heads, and mutilated bodies. Many women were gathered around.
I looked at him and asked him if he had seen his hands and if he had seen his feet. He was so frightened that he fainted to death."
"A few days later, Uncle Li died! Everyone also knew that the place where the widow was haunted. It was precisely because of this that I knew that if my sister-in-law's body was thrown into that place, it would definitely be with those lonely souls.
Like a wild ghost, she will not be able to rest in peace when the time comes. But since she has no children, she still hanged herself, so the villagers will definitely take her to that place. I...I am really sorry for my sister-in-law.
"
Speaking of this, He Shun wiped away tears again! It could be seen that he sincerely did not want his sister-in-law to go to that place. In such a place, just like what he said, the dead could not rest in peace! The corpses were all
How could such a ghost rest in peace after being eaten by wild beasts and reduced to a corpse?
He Shun's narration is not the answer I want. I thought he would tell a story similar to Rousseau's experience. In that case, I can basically conclude that the widow's land is the women's village mentioned by Rousseau. Now it seems that the widow's land is
Not the women's village I'm looking for.
Seeing the sad He Shun, I was moved by his filial piety, and I decided to help him! So I said to him, "Don't worry, it's fate that we can meet each other tonight. Your sister-in-law's body will be buried."
She will be carried to that place, but her soul will definitely rest in peace."
As I spoke, I stood up from the stool and walked to the side of Widow He’s body!
He Shun stood up and asked me with wide eyes, "What are you going to do?"
I directly tore off the yellow cloth strips and turned over the white cloth, and a woman's serene face appeared in front of me. The woman was not as mediocre-looking as I imagined. On the contrary, she was somewhat good-looking, even though she had gone through the ups and downs of life.
, but the exquisiteness of the facial features are all reflected on the face.
This frightened He Shun so much that he trembled. He quickly stepped forward and asked me, "Little sir, what are you doing?"
I said calmly, "Give your sister-in-law salvation and let her go down tonight so that she won't follow the corpse to the widow's land and become a lonely ghost."
My words shocked He Shun again. "You, you, you are, are you Mr. Yin Yang?"
I nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I have had some dealings with ghosts and gods!"
"Really, can you really let my sister-in-law go down and rest in peace?"
"According to the normal death procedure, her soul will wander for seven days. During these seven days, she will be unconscious and will only follow the corpse. She will go wherever the corpse goes. After seven days, her scattered soul will regroup, and at this time she will
There are underworld officials who take them to report, and then let them spend their remaining years in the underworld, that is, living in their own tombs.”
"But my sister-in-law has no grave! Even if you let her go down, she will have no fixed place to live!"
"Have you ever heard of the tomb?" He Shun nodded and said, "Yes! Unmarried and dead people will be thrown into the widow's field! Because women without offspring are regarded as unlucky people and are punished by God.
So, after death, the body can only be thrown on the ground and let the body be picked up by wild beasts."
