Chapter 163 Differences between Men and Women
The women in the village were crowded together, distributed in an arc, surrounding a small shrine built next to the mountain, and worshiped devoutly.
Every time I hit the ground firmly.
They didn’t have anything in their hands, and they didn’t wear the clothes specific to the ritual sacrifice.
There are no tributes or incense candles in front of the shrine. Looking from this perspective, Ran Ran can even see the dark inside of the shrine...
There is no idol.
Shen Dinghai squinted his eyes for a while and found three words written on the plaque of the shrine.
"Evil God Hall?" He murmured, "Evil God Hall? What is this person worshiping? Have you never heard of it?"
"And where is there anyone? You don’t worship the gods of good but you worship the gods of evil, right?”
“There are really no good people in this village!”
Ranran chewed these three words carefully, "Evil God Hall."
The flames of the ceremony soared into the sky, illuminating the mountain forest.
The women seemed to be tireless and kept kowtow.
The loose skin is in contact with the moist soil, and the smell of earth and the fragrance of vegetation are in your breath.
Ran Ran looked at it for a while and found that their actions were repeated.
After prostrating, they will recite a few words together and then continue to prostrate.
It’s just that they were far apart, so Ran Ran didn’t dare to use magic rashly, so she didn’t know what the women were saying.
She listened carefully.
The women's lips opened and closed, and a buzzing sound sounded together, like the unbearable sound when people have tinnitus.
Ran Ran frowned, "It's not a bow."
She said this almost instantly.
"What?" Shen Dinghai was confused, but this time he was not the only one who was confused. No one knew what Ran Ran was talking about.
"If the villagers are offering sacrifices and worshiping, then the chanting to pray for strength from the gods should be peaceful and pious."
"They look quite pious, don't they?" Shen Dinghai was puzzled. scratched his head.
"Yes, they are very pious and devout, but not peaceful." Ran Ran frowned, "I just calmed down and wanted to feel the atmosphere of chanting, but I immediately felt full of Malice!”
"Malicious? Are they malicious to God?"
"You can say that." Ran Ran frowned, "If the person they are chanting is the owner of this shrine."
Shen Dinghai frowned, "Then I don't understand. If the people in Gude Village asked for that power, why would they be malicious towards the god who gave them power?"
"Is our previous speculation wrong?"
Ran Ran remained silent and did not speak.
"Then what should we do now? We've seen where we go to work and how we go to work, but there are more things that we don't know and don't understand."
Ranran lowered his head and pondered, "The situation of going to work It’s really different from what I expected.”
“From what we saw, the women in the village are obviously very bullied. It can even be said that they are deeply afraid of the men in the village.”
"Then why are they so willing to work when men ask for it? Aren't these mandatory requirements for men in the village? Are they voluntary?"
Shen Dinghai put forward a different opinion, " Cousin, just because we only see the situation of Wang Hei’s family, we can’t directly infer that the whole village is in the same situation as his family, right?”
He whispered in a low voice, "Although other men are also very perverted."
Ran Ran explained patiently, "Second nephew, you should remember the situation when we left Wang Hei's house, right?"
"Remember?" At that time, almost every household stood at the door to watch the fun. We were like monkeys in the zoo."
Ran Ran corrected: "It's the men in every household."
< br>"Except for the woman from Wang Hei's family, when we were walking on the road, there was not a single woman among the people standing on both sides."
"But isn't that because it's almost night and women are coming to work in the back mountain?" Ran Ran shook her head firmly, "Not at that time, at least not women from every household came."
“How did my cousin know?”
“Smoke in the chimney.”
Reminiscences appeared in Ranran’s eyes, “It was dinner at that time Everywhere, I kept paying attention to the smoke coming from the kitchens of every house.”
"From the moment we left Wang Hei's house and all the men in the village rushed to the door to watch the excitement, until we went to Sister Wu's house and were later taken away by the village chief, the smoke in the chimney did not stop."
"I can even smell the aroma of various meals being cooked."
"The whole process, men have been crowding outside the house to watch the fun."
Ran Ran affirmed: "Make it at home It’s just women who eat.”
Shen Dinghai suddenly realized, “It turns out that I didn’t notice the chimney and the smell of the food, or I noticed it, but I didn’t take it to heart.”
Ran Ran continued: "There should be only a few people like Sister Wu...Wu Mingde's mother who come to the back mountain in advance. Most women in the village come to prepare dinner for the men."
Shen Dinghai frowned , "This trip is a bit busy!"
"The front leg has just finished cooking, and the back leg has to come to the back mountain to worship this evil god. Not to mention how difficult the road is, and the vast grass, I It’s hard to walk on such a large scale!”
“Who can stand this incomprehensible ritual, chanting and praying non-stop!”
Shen Dinghai was talking and suddenly realized something was wrong, "That's wrong! The arrangement of the day shift and night shift is not reasonable at all."
"Men come to worship during the day and have time to rest at night, but women have to worship at night, and they have to wash, cook and take care of the house during the day. This... there is no time to rest!"
"This is not the case at all. Fair!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the scene suddenly fell into silence for some reason.
Shen Dinghai looked at Ran Ran as if asking for help, "Did I say that right, cousin?"
"That's right." It was Wu Pannan who answered him, "Throughout the ages, there have been many questions about men and women. Are there too many unfair things in this world? ”
"Not only do you have to wash and cook, but you also have to pray to gods. Not having time to rest is just the most superficial injustice."
Shen Dinghai was a little frightened by the cold-faced Wu Pannan.
"Well...actually, I just want to condemn this phenomenon in the village, and I don't want to raise it to the whole people."
Wu Pannan sneered, "Then you can say that I can say it Isn’t it right?”
Shen Dinghai was at a loss, “No.”
Wu Pannan's eyes suddenly filled with tears, "You also know that men and women have never been fair."
"If it was fair, how could they choose to let me die without hesitation?! Why not choose Brother? ”
“If it’s fair, how could they give birth to so many boys after they had no money to support me and sent me to die...”
“It’s not fair.”
Her eyes were red, as if soaked in blood.
"There is love for no reason in this world, and there is hate for no reason!"
"They are also the children of their parents, and they will unconditionally prefer their elder brother and younger brother because they are boys."
"They hate me for no reason because I am a girl!"
Wu Pannan's eyes were fixed on something, "Obviously I did nothing wrong..." Godlessly Her eyes made her look like her soul had been sucked out of her.
Looking at it, she suddenly chuckled.
"Look at me, I'm so stupid. Nothing I say is logical."
Her voice was very soft, like dewdrops gently shaking on the green leaves in the morning.
"There is a reason. The reason why they love my brothers and hate me..."
"Isn't it because we are different between men and women."
