Once this situation occurs, according to the words of the Miao master, the girl is attracted by the cave god of a certain cave. Now they just wait for a good and auspicious day to send the girl into the cave to worship the invisible "cave god"
marriage.
There are two solutions to this matter,
One is that the parents spend a lot of money to hire a famous Miao wizard to ask the girl to find out which cave god she is. Then the wizard will go to the cave to negotiate with the cave god.
Usually they would say: "My daughter is still young, clumsy and doesn't know etiquette. She may not be able to serve Lord Dong Shen well. I sincerely ask Lord Dong Shen to choose another good match."
If the mage comes back and says that the cave god has agreed, the girl's parents will prepare an old hen, tie a red string around the chicken's feet, blindfold the old hen, and finally throw the old hen directly into the cave.
A “dismissal gift” to the cave god.
If the mage says that the negotiation has not been completed, the cave god is interested in your daughter. If you don't send your daughter in by a certain date, your whole family will be in disaster.
And once you enter the cave, you can't get out...
Just imagine, how many days can a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old survive alone in a sealed cave without food or water? I have said before that as of 2023, in some isolated villages in central and northern Hunan,
This custom still exists and has been banned repeatedly.
Sounds absurd.
According to the conditions that old Miao people use to judge whether a woman is a fallen girl, firstly, she is in a poor mental state and is sometimes in a trance; secondly, she is not very fond of talking and talking to others; thirdly, she likes to look in the mirror and put on make-up; and fourthly, she likes to clean.
.
If there are female friends watching, you might as well take a seat and see if you meet the above conditions.
If so, then don't go to some remote villages in central and northern Hunan. The old people in the village may treat you as a cave girl, knock you out, tie you up, throw you into a cave, and marry the cave god directly.
Can't find it when I look for it.
At that moment, he scolded his head and said: "Xiaoxuan, the women who fell into the cave all died with resentment. Their things are unlucky. Don't keep playing with them."
Xiaoxuan has been with us for so many years, and her courage has long been tempered. She is not afraid of such things on dead people at all. She played with the silver bracelet and smiled and said: "The head, I just think it looks very good. I want to stay and play with this by myself."
"
He raised his head and sighed, and said helplessly: "Oh...that's fine, since you like it, just keep it for yourself."
"Thank you!" Xiaoxuan smiled happily.
He waved his head and said, "Let's go. The harvest this time is pretty good. Let's go back and rest early."
We carried our things, talked and laughed with each other and were about to leave.
"etc!"
"You guys stop!"
Suddenly, a stranger shouted from behind!
This sudden shout startled us all, and I hurriedly hid the sack behind my back for fear of being discovered.
At this moment, the moonlight was hazy. When we looked back, we saw that the person who stopped us was a middle-aged Miao man wearing a white waistcoat.
This man is about forty years old. He is holding a slender blade knife in his hand. He has obvious white hair on his temples. His skin is a healthy wheat color. His facial features are thin and three-dimensional. He looks at us with a very cold look.
Scary.
Knowing that this man could speak Mandarin, my face changed slightly, and I said to him with a smile: "Fellow, we are from the archaeological team, and we have come to our area to inspect historical monuments."
The other party stared at us with a cold face and said word by word: "You have entered that cave..."
The tone of this cold questioning was uncomfortable. Douyazai was a straight-tempered person, so he immediately replied to the person: "Just come in! What's wrong? Is that your cave?"
The man suddenly raised the Miao knife in his hand, and we noticed that the man's right hand holding the knife had only four fingers! There was no little finger on his right hand!
The leather sheath fell to the ground, and the sharp Miao knife reflected a white shadow on his face.
He said in a cold voice: "You will deserve to die if you disturb her rest."
"Everyone stand back!"
Brother Yu seemed to have foreseen some danger. He shouted and charged straight at the man.
