Knowing that Yun Chao has become an official, no one will dare to chatter when he talks about He Laosi again.
"If there is someone who can't open the pot at home, he can work on my construction site and still have enough to eat. He can even take two liters of food home every day and can barely survive. Therefore, whoever uses the excuse of not being able to feed their children can , abandoning one’s own flesh and blood is pure nonsense and murder!”
At this point, Yun Chao became serious: "Don't tell me that it was normal to throw away children before. That was because I was not the village leader yet. Now I am the village leader of our Wolong Village. Everyone in our Wolong Village, including just All children born under my control are under my control. Without my consent, no one is allowed to decide the life and death of the people under my jurisdiction! If anyone makes my people uncomfortable, I will make them uncomfortable! Do you all hear this clearly? Who is in favor and who is against?”
In excitement, Yun Chao pulled out the steel knife with a squeak!
With a swipe, the steel knife came out of his hand and was inserted in front of He Laosi!
"He Laosi, you are the first person who wants to kill the people of my Wolong Village after I became the village chief. How do I punish you?"
"ah?"
Looking at the steel knife so close, He Laosi's eyes lost focus: "Cun...Cun Cunzheng, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, please spare me for once..."
Yun Chao ignored He Laosi and continued to say to the villagers: "Don't think that I am nosy. Do you know where the children who were killed by their parents went? Some people think they are righteous and abuse them severely. , or even drown your own girl, so that no female ghost will come to your home to reincarnate in the future. Let me tell you, this is pure nonsense!"
Yun Chao was not just talking nonsense. This custom existed not only in Wolong Village, but also in many places during the Dawu Dynasty.
Under the patriarchal preference, in order to give birth to a boy, the family will try every means to torture the girls, prick them with needles, burn them with fire, or even drown them directly, in order to scare away the female ghosts who want to reincarnate and let them come to the world. Reincarnate in someone else’s home.
Not to mention the backward ancient times, even in later generations, this phenomenon still exists in some relatively backward places.
In Yun Chao's previous life, there was an eldest sister in her hometown who often felt pain in her legs. Later, when she went to the hospital to take a X-ray, the doctor was shocked to find that there were dozens of sewing needles in her thighs!
Where did those needles come from?
It must have been put in by the old man at home when he was a child, in order to scare away the female ghost who wanted to reincarnate.
It may sound unbelievable, but reality is like this. It is often more fantasy than fiction. Where can we reason?
"Let me tell you, those babies who were abused to death will turn into evil ghosts and wander around your home all day long. As soon as your luck fails, they will pounce on you and take revenge, causing your family to be destroyed!"
Yun Chao knew that it would never work to talk to a bunch of ignorant people. The best way to deal with superstition was to use superstition.
If the villagers are not allowed to develop a deep sense of awe, no matter how strict the regulations are, some people will secretly violate them.
Who can guarantee that the child will survive after birth?
If the villagers don't want it, they can always find an excuse, saying that the child died after birth. Even if Yun Chao had the time, he probably wouldn't be able to find out.
"What's the matter? I see some people are still curling their lips, don't you believe it? Don't you think about who this real person is, and the money scattered before the Bodhisattva... Ahem, the good money boy, you are all too familiar with these things! Think about it carefully Come on, is it true that those who have abandoned children at home often suffer from bad luck?"
When Yun Chao said this, many villagers were stunned.
"Huh? It seems like this is really the case!"
"Huh? It seems to be true. The year before last, the child born across the street from me drowned. As a result, the two old people in their family all died last year!"
"Oh, no wonder Wu Laoer next door to our house is so poor. It turns out he abandoned his children!"
"..."
Yun Chao didn't expect that his impromptu move would actually work.
They have even abandoned their children. The family must be poor. Can the poor not be unlucky?
In Yun Chao's previous life, he had an old schoolmate whose favorite activity was to hold the hands of his senior classmates and read their palms.
Yun Chao was influenced by it and learned some tricks.
One of the sentences is: The lady’s hands are soft and she doesn’t have to work or farm.
The accuracy rate can reach 99%.
Can a pair of hands that work frequently be soft?
In ancient times when supplies were scarce, it was even easier to read faces. If you saw a fat man, especially one who was fair and fair, you would definitely be wrong if you said his family conditions were good.
If you see a good-looking guy and say that he has bad luck and his life is unsatisfactory, you will be right ninety-nine percent of the time!
"Some people may say that if I throw away my own child, the misfortune is also my own family's business. What does it have to do with you Yun Er? I am here to tell you a secret. This is a matter of revealing the secret. I will only say it once. Who will do it in the future? If you ask again, I won’t say a word..."
Upon hearing that Yun Chao was about to reveal the secret, many people close to him were frightened.
"Brother Chao, Muramasa, Mr. Inspector, stop talking, we believe it, we believe it!"
"That's right, Brother Chao, it's better not to say anything about leaking the secret. If you have any shortcomings, how will we live?"
"Don't worry, Muramasa. If anyone dares to throw away a child again in the future, I will definitely not be able to spare him!"
"..."
Yun Chao was very pleased that his military spirit was available, but he still had to say what needed to be said.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to what I have to say. Since I have decided to tell this secret, there is no reason to go back on it. Listen, everyone, as long as we are people in Wolong Village, the crimes committed are not only retributive on ourselves, but also on all of us. Wolong Village will also be unlucky! It is because our Wolong Village throws away a lot of children, so our Wolong Village is the poorest and most unlucky! Think about it carefully, is this the case? "
"Oh my God, I asked why our Wolong Village is so poor. It turns out it's all because of you who threw away your children!"
"From He Lao'er's family, we have to speak with our conscience. What do you think others do? Haven't you drowned a child yourself?"
"Fart, who said I drowned a child? He died of illness. Stop talking nonsense!"
"..."
As for whether it's because Wolong Village is poor and many children are abandoned?
Or is it because there are so many abandoned children that Wolong Village is poor?
This question is too philosophical, and Yun Chao does not develop it dialectically.
For many people in Wolong Village who have never even entered the city in their lives, how can they think so much? When Yun Chao said one sentence, many people felt enlightened and suddenly realized!
"That's all I'm going to say today. Let's talk about it. If someone throws away a child again in the future, causing our entire Wolong Village to suffer, what should we do?"
