Chapter 240 The big-bellied woman is about to be sunk into the pond
Latest website:
Spring is here, everything revives, and it's the breeding season of animals. The air is filled with the smell of hormones.
The newly appointed Vice-President Chen specially took a few days to prepare for a tour of several commune health care centers under his leadership.
This is the responsibility of a "leader". If he doesn't go, people below will say that the leader doesn't care about the grassroots employees. If the superiors know about it, they will think that he has no overall view and only thinks about his own little land.

Being an employee and being a leader have different thinking, different structures, and different tasks.
The 10 communes in Huangtan District are all located in the mountains. Those with better conditions will have a dirt road or a tractor road, and you can take a donkey cart to slowly wander over.
But there are still many communes located in the deepest part of the mountains. For example, the "Longdong Commune" that Chen Qi is going to today is probably the commune with the highest altitude in Huiji County. It doesn't even have a complete road, so the whole journey has to be done by walking.

This mountain road goes up and down, winding and winding. The scenery is really nice, but the tiredness is really tiring.
Chen Qi had already taken off his Chinese tunic suit and sweater, and was wearing an autumn coat. He had his hands on his hips and was panting from exhaustion. The medicine box used for medical visits was also thrown aside.
"Dean Yan, how far is this Longdong Commune? Oh my god, if we continue like this, my knee joints will be scrapped."
Dean Yan, who is in his fifties, is much calmer. The old man is used to walking on mountain roads and knows how to use tricks to save energy.
"Young man, you lack exercise. You can't bear it after just walking a few steps. Ahead is Xiawan Village. Let's go there to rest and find a place to have lunch. Longdong Commune is still some distance away."
"Okay, it's really not easy for the Longdong people. People will die if they go out to the mountains! What did their ancestors think back then to settle in such a remote place?"
"Hmph, you think everyone is as useless as you, and you even say that you are also from the mountains."
While the two were chatting, one old and one young walked towards Xiawan Village.
"Xiao Chen, let me tell you, if this Huang Tan experience is promoted and the financial difficulties at the grassroots level can be solved, you will definitely be the first to do so, which will be of great benefit to your political future, so you must take it seriously.
.
Next time the health center invites you to share experiences, don’t refuse. Remember what I told you. Not only should you keep your head down, but also look up at the sky. You are still young and should embark on a better journey in the future.
High position."
Chen Qi is not very willing to go out to exchange experiences. Once he goes out, it takes at least three days to go back and forth, and he has to deal with the reception politely. Just drinking can drink him to death.
After he went there once or twice, he was unwilling to go again, which made Dean Yan anxious.
In the parlance of later generations, this is called "hype". If you don't go out and communicate, how can you hype? If you don't hype, how can you grasp political achievements?
Chen Qi gasped and said:
"Dean, I also want to buy a general anesthesia machine so that I can perform more surgeries. We have to make money. If I communicate outside for ten days and a half, it will be a waste of time and money.
”
"You kid, hey, you are such an idiot, you should..."
Before Dean Yan finished speaking, Chen Qi saw many people gathering in the village at the foot of the mountain from a distance, and gongs and drums sounded from time to time.
Chen Qi was quite surprised: "Dean Yan, what are you doing in this village? Worshiping gods or watching a show? There are so many people."
Dean Yan is from the mountains and has a lot of experience. If he takes a closer look, he can see that there is a problem:
"No, something is going to happen in this village. Look, is there a woman kneeling by the pool of water in the village?"
"Yes, what's wrong? What are you doing?"
"It's bad, it's bad. The entrance to Xiawan Village is not a good place. Have you seen the deep pool? I'm afraid they are going to lynch you. Let's go quickly."
The two of them put their feet together and ran quickly towards the foot of the mountain.
There is a pool at the entrance of Xiawan Village. The water in the pool is dark green and no one can tell how deep it is. But the strange thing is that the villagers never come to this pool to fetch water and wash clothes, and they are not even willing to go near it.
Because since ancient times, countless villagers from Xiawan Village have died in this pool, and they were all lynched to Shen Tang.
Xiawan Village is located deep in the mountains. Even though it has been liberated for many years, the Yao family in the village is still very powerful. It is so big that they like to use lynching to replace the national law. This is a secret that everyone in Huangtan District knows.
p>
This is why Dean Yan saw something was wrong at a glance.
When Dean Yan and Chen Qi ran to the entrance of the village, almost the entire village was gathered in the small square by the pool, and a villager was beating a gong.
"Dang Dang Dang~~ Come and see, everyone, the Yao Wang family in the village has no shame, committed adultery with others, and became pregnant with evil offspring. Today, the clan leader decided to let the Yao Wang family sink into the pond and warn the clan members in the village to stay safe.
Ji, respect the three obediences and four virtues, and abide by the ways of women~~~"
A woman's hands and feet were tied, her hair disheveled, and she was crying and explaining:
"I'm wronged, uncle, I'm wronged. I didn't commit adultery, I didn't remain a widow as expected, and I didn't let the Yao family down."
An old man was so angry that he stood up from his chair, pointed at Mrs. Yao Wang's nose and cursed:
"Nonsense, you didn't feel sorry for your dead husband, how come your belly got bigger? Mrs. Yao Wang, you are almost 50 years old, your mother has also become pregnant, and your grandmother has also become pregnant. How can you let your children grow up like this?"
How can you hold your head up?"
"I didn't, I didn't, uncle, I can die, but you can't wrongly accuse me~~~"
Hearing the woman's cry, none of the surrounding villagers sympathized with her:
"How is it possible? Your man has been dead for several years. How did your belly get bigger?"
"It's really shameful that you still refuse to say who the adulterer is."
"Yes, our Xiawan Village has been completely disgraced by her. She has corrupted our morals and corrupted our morals."
The surrounding villagers all looked indignant, pointing at the woman kneeling by the pool, their words and expressions mostly showing disdain and contempt.

Not far away, there were several young men kneeling on the ground crying bitterly. They were all the two sons of the Yao Wang family. I don’t know if they were crying because their mother was about to die, or because they were crying because they would be embarrassed to see others in the future?
On the contrary, several children kept crying for grandma, and ended up being beaten up by their mother.
"Don't go there, that's not your grandma. She's embarrassing and will harm your reputation in the future!"
The clan elder looked at the sun in the sky:
"Okay, it's already noon. Today I have to perform family justice on behalf of the ancestors of the Yao family and your dead husband. Mrs. Yao Wang, if you have anything to say, go to the underworld and tell your ancestors. Come here.
, put her in a bamboo cage and prepare to sink her into the pond."
At this time, the gong rang again, and the long trumpet unique to Vietnam and used during funerals also began to sound.
Several young and strong men in the village stepped forward and lifted Yao Wangshi...
Bamboo cages, also called pig cages, were originally made into cylinder-like objects made of bamboo strips for the convenience of transporting pigs.
Later, I don’t know why it became a punishment for men and women who committed adultery within the family.
The usage is also very simple, just lock the person in, put a few big rocks in the bamboo cage, and then throw it into a pool or river, and let the people inside drown alive.
This method of death is very cruel and very despairing. People in pig cages will struggle desperately, beg for mercy, and howl before they die.
So the clan elders would ask all the men and women in the village to watch, teaching everyone a lesson and letting everyone see the consequences of adultery and cheating.
Let me mention that it is usually women who keep the pig cages, not men.
Why? Isn’t it normal for a man to keep a concubine? Besides, what if he steals someone outside? This is a man’s ability, and he can brag about it while drinking.
But women can't. If a woman cheats on a man and steals a man, it's simply lewd and shameless, and anyone can spit on it.
When the villagers in Xiawan Village heard their uncle shouting "Close the bamboo cage and sink the pond", most of them showed no expression on their faces, but a few showed unbearable expressions.
Several strong young men lifted the woman on the ground and stuffed her into the bamboo cage.
I saw this woman with a big belly, but she resisted very fiercely, and shouted loudly:
"I didn't commit adultery, I wasn't pregnant, uncle, you don't know right from wrong, I don't accept it, even if you are a ghost. Ah Cheng, A Liang, you have to believe in mother, mother has not done anything to regret your father, mother has not!"
My uncle was so angry that his hands were shaking and he threw the crutch to the ground:
"You cunning woman, you are so stubborn now. You are shameless. The Yao family has been completely disgraced by you. Hurry, throw it into the pond!!!"
"I'm not convinced, I didn't steal anyone, and I'm not convinced by being a ghost!!!"
A few strong men tied the bamboo cage tightly with hemp ropes, then lifted it up and were about to throw it into the pool. At this time, they suddenly heard someone from behind the crowd shouting:
"Stop it!!"
Everyone turned around in shock, with only one thought in their minds, "What? The adulterer is coming to rob the execution ground?"
I saw an old man and a young man rushing into the crowd, pushing aside the crowd with all their strength, and rushed to the edge of the pool.
Dean Yan was panting, because he was running so fast that even one of his legs flew away. He pointed his hand at the woman in the bamboo cage and cursed:
"Uncle Yao, are you, are you old and confused? Now is the new society, do you dare to use lynching? Do you know that you are breaking the law?"
Although Chen Qi has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs running away. There were many such scenes in movies and TV series in his previous life, and he never expected that he would encounter them today.
But now I was eager to save people, so I didn’t have time to gossip, so I quickly shouted to a few villagers:
"Put it down, put it down quickly, be careful of slippery hands. Do you know that you are killing people? This year is 1983, not 1883. You are seeking death and taking a bullet."
Several villagers have already raised the bamboo cage in the air. If they let go, the bamboo cage will fall into the pool, and it will be difficult for the gods to save it.
When the villagers heard this, they thought it was neither a throw nor a throw, and they looked eagerly at the elders in the field.
Uncle Yao is also recognizing people: "Are you Yan Quanxin from the health center?"
Then he felt unhappy:
"Dean Yan, even if you are a cadre, you can't take care of our housework, right? Such an immoral thing happened to our family. If we don't deal with her, will we Xiawan Village people have the nerve to go out in the future?"
