Chapter 555： Dip pig cage

Chapter 555 Soaking the pig cage

In the distance, the river was full of people and gongs and drums, and almost the whole village gathered around the river, blocking Zhu Ping'an's sight, so that Zhu Pingan couldn't see what happened by the river, but just listened To the sound of gongs and drums and the sound of people.

It seems to be offering sacrifices to the river, but it is not the same, the atmosphere is different. Zhu Pingan didn't see the incense table, offerings, heavenly scriptures or kneeling.

bang bang bang bang

A burst of firecrackers sounded, like the New Year, pushing the atmosphere by the river to a climax, echoing the noisy voices of people.

I don’t know if it’s an auditory hallucination or something, but Zhu Pingan vaguely heard a burst of cursing, which made Zhu Pingan even more curious about what the villagers were doing by the river, so he put his horse under his stomach and accelerated towards the river.

Soon, Zhu Ping'an arrived at the scene.

Zhu Ping'an tied the horse to a nearby tree and squeezed into the crowd alone. People surrounded the river and were furious. People's eyes were all focused on the river, and they didn't notice Zhu Ping'an's arrival at all. Everyone's focus is on the river, to be precise, on the two people by the river.

I am Cao!

Zhu Ping'an just glanced at it, and couldn't help but curse.

What the **** is the River of Sacrifice, this is clearly the sinking lake, this is lynching! !

The scene by the river is shocking.

In front of the pool by the river, there are two bamboo strips tied into a cage. The fresh bamboo strips are full of materials. They are more than one meter long and half a meter high. They are tied into a cylindrical shape with a relatively large opening, and the bottom is woven with bamboo strips.

The material is full, regardless of the cost, it is strong and strong.

This bamboo cage is exactly the same as the pig cages used by Xiahe Village to transport pigs to market towns for sale, except that they don’t contain pigs.

There were two people in the pig cage, a man and a woman. Their bodies were covered with cuts and bruises. The man had been beaten into a pig’s head, and he could barely make out a human figure. The women are a little better. Although the clothes are stained with blood, they can still cover their bodies.

Judging from the appearance, although there are scars on the face, it can also be seen that the woman has a beautiful face, and she is in her early thirties like a flower blooming. Although the woman's clothes were blood-stained and wrinkled, it could be seen that the material was of the highest quality. There were excellent pearl earrings on the earlobe, and there was also a fine jadeite bracelet on the wrist, which looked like it was from Wait for others.

The man was beaten into a pig's head, so he couldn't see his appearance. From the outline, he probably had a long face, so he shouldn't look ugly. Of course, he has become a pig's head now. Men's clothing is much inferior to that of women's. The material is ordinary cotton, and the clothes have been whipped into strips, but you can still see the general outline, some of them look like housekeepers of wealthy families or nursing homes with some status. style.

At this moment, the mouths of both of them were restrained by white cloth strips, unable to speak, they could only whine ennun.

Not only that, the two of them were also wrapped in iron chains, and their arms and feet were **** with iron chains and locked up.

The village is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The big river in front of the village is blocked by the mountains in front of the village and forms a U-shape in front of the village, like a belt tied to the village, forming a belt of water. This river has a lot of water, especially in the U-shaped part, forming a deep pool. The vortex in the river pool can be seen with the naked eye, which is very dangerous.

There is no doubt that these two people will be thrown into this river.

The surrounding crowd cursed at the two people in the pig cage, and from time to time threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even stones at the two people in the pig cage.

In the crowd are several old men, the middle one is an old man with a white beard, gray hair, hale and hearty, a pair of eyes sunken deeply into the eye sockets, deep eyes, his face is covered with wrinkles, full of weather left trace.

The villagers are very respectful to these old men, especially the white-bearded old man in the middle.

"The hour has come."

Zhu Ping'an just came in, and saw the white-bearded old man in the middle looking up at the sun, then slammed the crutch in his hand to the ground, and said in a deep voice.

After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, an old man in his fifties nodded and walked out next to him. He glanced at the two people in the pig cage with contempt, then waved to everyone, and ordered:

"Shenhu Lake! Whether it is life or death, let the river **** judge it!"

After the old man finished speaking, there was a burst of echoes from the crowd, and then eight strong young men stepped forward, their shoulders bare, with ropes and thigh-thick sticks in their hands. The eight young men walked to the pig cage, first tied the opening of the pig cage with a rope, then wrapped the rope around the head and tail of the pig cage, and lifted it up with a stick.

The two people in the pig cage struggled, but because they were **** with iron chains, they tried their best and it still didn't help. Their eyes were filled with despair.

"One two, one two, one two"

The eight younger students lifted the pig cage to the shore, spread their arms and shook them, shaking them in unison with one or two. Shake, shake, shake, the inertial power is fully charged, and the arms are thrown away.

It looks like it's about to be thrown into the river pool.

"Stop!"

At this moment, a young man's voice reached everyone's ears. Suddenly, the eight young men on the bank of the river who were about to throw the pig cage stopped and turned their heads.

Not only them, but the villagers by the river, including the old men, all focused their attention on the boy who made the sound. Of course, this boy is Zhu Ping'an.

"Outsider, it's not your turn to intervene in the affairs of our village!" The old man in his fifties came out.

"You abused lynching, I saw it, so naturally I can't just sit idly by." Zhu Pingan shook his head.

Shit, life or death is judged by the river god, right? ! Both hands and feet were chained, the pig cages were sealed, and a few stones were placed inside. They sank into the river pool like this, and there was no possibility of them surviving! What about the trial of the river god!

How can I sit idly by when I act like this!

"Abusing private behavior?!" The fifty-year-old man sneered twice when he heard the words, turned his eyes away from Zhu Ping'an and landed on the two people in the pig cage, and snorted forcefully, "This is their You deserve it!"

"Why are you still standing still, the two scourges of Shenhu!" The old man in his fifties waved again to the eight young men.

Hearing the words, the eight juniors raised their sticks and jumped up again, ready to let go after finding the rhythm.

"Stop!"

Zhu Ping'an stopped it again.

How can it be unreasonable to regard human life as worthless! It has long been heard that many cases of prison lawsuits and other cases in villages are not reported to the county government, but are dealt with by the patriarch or the elders in the village or by prestigious elders, abusing lynching, and ignoring the state's public affairs!

Two lives, how can we turn a blind eye!

"What right do you, a foreigner, have to dictate the family affairs of our Majia Village? Hmph, don't listen to his nonsense. You have drowned these two disasters!" The old man in his fifties glanced at Zhu Ping'an with a dark face, and then He yelled at the stunned young men.

That is, why listen to a stranger. The old man's words made these young people firm their minds, then lifted the pig cage and shook it again.

"That's right, the adulterer and adulteress should have been immersed in a pig cage long ago."

"The reputation of our Majia Village has been ruined by these two people. Only by sinking into the lake can they wash away the shame of our Majia Village."

"That's how good Master Wang is to her. She doesn't have to do farm work anymore. She repays her like this. She doesn't obey women's morals, cheats and cheats, corrupts public morals, and living is a disaster."

"Especially that Song Guanshi, who deserves to be hacked into pieces. A poor boy who can't even eat, Master Wang is kind enough to propose him as a steward, and help him marry a wife and start a family. I didn't expect this white-eyed wolf to eat others, Master Wang." Living in the house of Mr. Wang, receiving the salary of Mr. Wang, and ended up sleeping in the bed of the mistress! This kind of person sinks into the lake and makes him cheap!"

"Sink the lake, sink the lake"

Seeing this, the people around cheered and applauded loudly, urging the younger generations to quickly dip into the pig cage.
