He Shun nodded and said, "Yes!" Those who are not married, those who are dead, will be thrown into the land of widows! Because women who have no offspring are considered ominous and are punished by heaven. Therefore, after death, they can only be thrown to the ground and let the body be taken 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 nothing more than tools to give birth to children, and if women don't even have the instinct to have children, then this woman can be thrown into the wilderness to feed wild animals, which ...... It really doesn't make me understand!

I know that the idea of patriarchy in rural areas is deep-rooted, but this is the first time I have seen someone who is stubborn to this extent!

Before I could speak, He Shun continued: "Actually, everything is much better now, at least after the widow's man dies, the woman can still live to die." In the past, if a man died and had no offspring, the woman would not have to bear the responsibility of raising children, and would be tied hand and foot by the villagers and thrown to fend for herself in the widow's land. It is said that she was left to fend for herself, she was tied hand and foot, and there were many wild beasts in that place, and she was thrown over to die, and she was not left alive. ”

I asked with a puzzled face, "The widow's husband is dead, can't she continue to find someone else to be her husband?" ”

He Shun said with a sigh of excitement: "I can kill a husband, does anyone dare to marry?" Even an old bachelor wouldn't dare to marry. ”

This really leaves me speechless, such a custom is really unacceptable!

But my main aim was not to change their customs, 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 listen to your accent, you should be Mosuo! ”

He Shun nodded and said, "Yes, we used to have this custom, but it was destroyed by the robbers on the mountain!" When the girl left the towel at the door, the robbers took it and got into the house, and they went in and snatched the girl away. After being robbed of a few girls, the village did not dare to maintain this custom anymore. ”

"So, there's no such custom around here, is there?"

He Shun pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know if there are other places, but we definitely don't have them here." ”

"By the way, I have another thing to ask you, have you heard of any village around here that is full of women?"

When He Shun heard my words, he shook his head again and said, "No, there is no such village!" Even if there were, it was absolutely non-existent, and women were the favorite of the robbers in the mountains. Any beautiful girl in any family will be robbed by the robbers in the mountains to be a wife, and if there is such a village, it may have been robbed a long time ago. ”

That's right! If there were really robbers in this neighborhood, the women of the women's village would have been robbed long ago!

Rousseau really came to a women's village, a village full of women, but that village was not inhabited by people!

If it weren't for people, would this village be a ghost in the widow's land?

Thinking of this, I immediately looked at He Shun and asked, "Is there any rumor of haunting in the widow's land?" ”

He Shun nodded and said, "Yes, there are often women crying at night over there!" As long as you get a little closer, you can hear it clearly, I heard it when I buried people with them, and there are more than one people who have heard it, but there are too many, and the second uncle Li in the village was scared to death when he went to that place after getting drunk. ”

"The year before last, Second Uncle Li went to the next village to drink happy wine, but he went home late when he drank too much! When he came home, he somehow went to the widow's land, and the next day the village found him in the widow's land. When he was found, he was not dead, and when he came home, he went mad, saying that he had met a ghost, and then the old gentleman of the village got him right, and he told the old gentleman that he had gone home that night, but he did not know how, and walked to the widow's land. He met many women in the widow's field, most of them without hands or feet, without heads, and with mutilated bodies. Many women surrounded him and asked him if he had seen his hands or feet, and he was scared to death when he asked. ”

"A few days later, Second Uncle Li died! Everyone also knew that the place in the Widow's Land was haunted. It is precisely because of this that I know that if my sister-in-law's body is thrown to that place, she will definitely be like those lonely ghosts, and she will not be able to rest in peace. But she didn't have any children, and she was hanged, and the people in the village would definitely take her to that place, I ...... I'm so sorry for my sister-in-law. ”

Speaking of this, He Shun wiped a handful of tears again! It can be seen that he sincerely doesn't want his sister-in-law to go to that place. That kind of place will also be like he said, dead and unable to rest in peace! The corpses have been eaten by wild beasts and become boneless, how can such a ghost rest in peace!

He Shun's account was not the answer I wanted, and I thought he would tell a story similar to Rousseau's experience. In that case, I can basically assume that the widow's land is the women's village in Rousseau's mouth, and now it seems that the widow's land is not the women's village I am looking for.

Looking at the sad He Shun, his filial piety also touched me, and I decided to help him! So I said to him, "Don't worry, it's a kind of fate that we can meet tonight, your sister-in-law's body will be carried to that place, but her soul will definitely rest in peace." ”

As I spoke, I got up from my stool and walked over to Widow Ho's body!

He Shun stood up and asked me with wide eyes, "You, what are you going to do?" ”

I tore open the yellow cloth and turned over the white cloth, and a woman's serene face appeared in front of me. The woman is not as mediocre as I imagined, on the contrary, she is still a little good-looking, although she has experienced the wind and frost and baptism of life, but the delicacy of her facial features is also all on her face.

This frightened He Shun, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked me, "Little sir, what are you doing?" ”

I said lightly: "Give your sister-in-law a lot, 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 made He Shun surprised again: "You, you, you are, you are Mr. Yin and Yang?" ”

I nodded slightly and said, "Sort of, I've 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, and during these seven days she will be unconscious, and will only follow the corpse, and she will go wherever the corpse goes. After seven days, her scattered souls will regroup, and then the underworld will take them to report, and then let them spend their lives in the underworld, that is, in their own graves. ”

"But, my sister-in-law doesn't have a grave! Even if you let her go down, she won't have a fixed place to live! ”

"Have you ever heard of the mound of clothes?"
