Hong Fu Ye Run 王小波 16324Words 2018-03-19
chapter Ten one After Li Weigong died, Hong Fu died as a martyr.This incident was beyond people's expectations.The whole story of this incident is as follows: Before Wei Gong died, he was still having sex with Hong Fu.After finishing the work, Duke Wei said, "Chest tightness, dizziness!"He died after speaking.Afterwards, Hongfu said to others: Wei Gong was quite capable when he did that. The big gun was as hard as iron, and its stick was as straight as a flagpole. Who knew he would die.This kind of saying is simply disrespectful to the deceased, but the following sentence is unrespectable: He is dead, and I will not live anymore!Hang yourself in a few days!She not only talked about it, but also wrote a memorial to the queen, applying for martyrdom for her husband.Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a martyrdom for the wife of a Duke, so this incident caused a great sensation.Those who envied her said: "This girl is not a good person. Her husband is dead and she can't stand in Chang'an City. She wants to earn face by this; but the court thinks that Mrs. Wei's martyrdom is a great thing, which not only proves that Women in the Tang Dynasty understood righteousness and proved that the aristocratic class had a high moral standard.The queen decreed that Jingbiao Hongfu was the wife of Jielie, and sent the palace supervisor, Eunuch Liu, to preside over the matter.Eunuch Liu felt that this was a serious matter, so he invited Mrs. Wei, who was the most experienced in dealing with noble ladies' suicides in Chang'an City, to be a consultant.Therefore, the matter of Hong Fu's suicide has been manipulated by professionals from the beginning.

Hong Fu knew that once Li Jing died, others would treat her as a dead person.It would not be complete to say that people treated her as dead, but it was this: she was hated if she showed an interest in living, and respected if she showed that she was dying.On the edge of the imperial city, there is a hot spring that only accepts women with orders.After a bath, you can lie down on a short couch covered with bearskin and drink a glass of sherbet.Hongfutoutian is there.She heard a girl's voice behind her saying: Mom, who is this aunt?so beautiful!Another very familiar voice said: ignore her!That's Mrs. Wei -- she's so shameless, she ran out after her husband died.Hongfu saw that it was Cheng Yaojin's wife, with her daughter, and walked over and said: "Madam Cheng, I haven't seen you for a while."Tomorrow I will be martyred, and I will take time out to see old acquaintances.When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she was immediately in awe: Tomorrow?How are you going to die?Hang yourself?Hang yourself well.The little wife of Han Guogong drank the poison, and for three days in a row, she vomited and had diarrhea, and howled ghosts and wolves.In the end, I had to call the master master, and took a rolling pin to hit the head hard a few times, and the skull was flattened.The eyeballs protrude, like a goldfish with bubble eyes.There are also people who swallow golden needles, and after swallowing, the seven orifices bleed, have a high fever and talk nonsense, that appearance is also very bad.All in all, hanging yourself is just as good.But what women say on this occasion is not very reliable, and hanging themselves may not be so good.Standing in front of a person who is about to hang himself, everyone says hang himself; but standing in front of a person who is about to throw himself into a well, everyone says throwing himself into a well.Hongfu originally hated hanging herself, but since the leaders assigned her to hang herself, she also started to like hanging herself.This is something she has never done in this life.In the past, the bosses assigned her to be a singing girl in Luoyang City, but she didn't like it, so she ran away with Wei Gong.Later, the leaders assigned her to be a second-class lady in Chang'an City, but she didn't like it, and wanted to encourage Duke Wei to escape again.It is incomprehensible that she would like it now that she is assigned to hang herself.

Hongfu thought so, standing on a high red lacquer stool with a three-foot white silk hanging around his neck, as long as he kicked his feet, he would enter the world of nothingness.But standing on this stool is really not easy, because when a person is hanged, black beads will pop out, his tongue will stick out, his face will turn black and purple, and he will become incontinent, making it smelly.Ordinary people wouldn't care so much.But as Duke Wei's wife, it would be unseemly to die like this.In order to die for her husband, she had been on a hunger strike for three days, and even invited a doctor to give her an enema in a primitive way.Then I spent half a day putting on makeup, and applied a very thick powder on my face.Then put on a plain suit, stand on the high stool, and ask someone to tie the eyes with a ribbon to prevent them from falling out.Then ask people to tie up their hands and feet with straps to prevent random grabbing and kicking, which will lose their dignity.After doing these things, the people below left the room, waiting for the sound of the high stool falling over.As soon as the stool falls over, the suicide is conceptually dead.Others can mourn and divide the inheritance.But she is often not dead. In order to prevent the neck bone from being broken, the wives of officials and eunuchs hang themselves. Steel bars are placed around the neck, and the ribbon is very wide, so it takes at least three or four hours to die.Some people are hanging in the air and feel bored, so they ask their family members to bring their girlfriends to chat with them in sedan chairs, or swing around in mid-air and play on swings.This shows that it is a dream to want to enter the world of nothingness with a kick.Hong Fu thinks this way, just to think about her situation better.It's not that no one persuaded Hong Fu to die for her husband.For example, Hongfu's daughter said, "Mom, it's an old lady's business to commit suicide."What you are doing is prudish!In fact, Hongfu was also fifty-one years old at the time, and she was considered an old lady by Tang's standards.But she is very well maintained, she looks about thirty years old, and she is extremely glamorous and beautiful, so no one thinks she is an old lady.This is all due to the fact that she has not eaten anything other than lamb and fruit since she was forty, does gymnastics every day, and has never stopped having sex.Others don't think she is old yet, but she feels old.It's not just the crow's feet and the smell in the mouth, but the breasts are starting to sag.This is invisible to others, and she has measured it herself: the nipples have been off-center, and there are deep lines under the breasts.In addition, she began to forget things and talk incoherently, which she could see from the faces of others.So she often said: When I get old, I must be a nasty old lady.These little things are nothing to other women, and some even take pride in being annoying.But let's not forget that Hong Fu has always been known for being beautiful, and she always feels that she is not beautiful enough.She can't stand this.So she decided to die.

The scene of Hongfu hanging himself was far more spectacular than she had imagined.After Wei Gong died, a mat shed was set up in the courtyard, and after Liu Gonggong and Mrs. Wei came, the mat shed was greatly raised, so that it seemed to come to a circus.Hong Fu thought: This also makes sense, one person died before, now there will be two soon.The shed should naturally be raised.But the facts proved her lack of imagination: a shelf was erected in the shed immediately, more than three feet high, in the shape of a door, using three golden nanmu with the thickness of large beams.Hongfu was very surprised when she saw it, and called Mrs. Wei and said, "This is my yard. Whatever you want to do, you have to tell me."What is this shelf for?The old lady Wei, who looked like a catfish, was wearing tight-legged trousers, with small plasters on her temples, and said in a harsh voice: It's time for your old man to ask.This is a shelf to send you to heaven.Hong Fu said: Good guy!Hang me so high!Is there a mistake?How do I get up there?Climb a ladder?Mrs. Wei said, "There is still a platform underneath."Automatic lifting, just like a siege ladder.Hong Fu said: Such a shelf, and a table under it—doesn't that look like a butcher's counter?If I hang on it, don't I look like a pig?Mrs. Wei became upset and said, "Ma'am, you don't understand this matter, so I'd better go on with you."What butcher's counter?This is called the emperor's grace - she has no level at all, and she is still Mrs. Jie Lie.Hongfu went to do her work, got into the mule cart, went to the hot spring to take a bath, and entered the bathhouse, followed by a young eunuch.This is also the arrangement of Mrs. Wei.Send someone to keep an eye on Hong Fu and not let her eat, because she is on a hunger strike before the martyrdom.This made Hong Fu quite choked, and when she came out of the shower, when the breeze blew, she went into shock.

two Hong Fu's appearance is also very spectacular.The emperor gave her a white silk and put it on a vermilion lacquer plate. If she went out, someone would walk in front with the plate.There is also the golden shackle and jade lock given by the emperor, which must be worn at all times.This is because the emperor knew that Hong Fu was very skilled, and was afraid that she would change her mind and run away suddenly.This shackle was really heavy, if it wasn't for Hong Fu's martial arts, he wouldn't be able to carry it at all.Regarding the hunger strike, Mrs. Wei said: This is absolutely important.You have to go on a hunger strike for at least ten days, otherwise there will be something in your intestines that will soon rot, not to mention fecal incontinence when you are hung up, which is very bad.Mrs. Wei Gong died under the decree, maybe she was hanged up, and the emperor will come to see her, so nothing can go wrong.So in the last few days, she asked Hongfu to eat cotton, and wiped her intestines clean with cotton.In addition, she was also made to drink soup made of saffron until Hongfu was sweating red.These two things are extremely difficult to swallow, especially when you are not full. At this time, eating inexplicable things will make you sick.Hongfu felt very painful, so he called Eunuch Liu and protested: "It's so difficult that people who are going to be martyred don't have any human rights?"At least some sugar can be put in the safflower soup.But Eunuch Liu said: No, this is an ancient proven prescription, and there is no sugar in the prescription.As for human rights, there is none.This is because Hongfu is sent to heaven by decree, with only honor and no human rights.Therefore, all meals and sleep must be arranged by experts.

On the day Hongfu hanged himself, the emperor gave him a banquet, and Hongfu enjoyed it very much.Unexpectedly, extreme joy begets sorrow, and I have to drink soapy water after eating and spit it out completely.And when it came to sleeping, Hong Fu smiled wryly, and Mrs. Wei wouldn't let her sleep at all.Back home, just as she was about to lean on the kang, Mrs. Wei called a group of young eunuchs and hung Hongfu upside down.The reason here is: she will be hanged in the future, and when she dies, her facial features, breasts, etc. will all fall down.While you are angry now, quickly hang upside down, which can play a corrective role.Hongfu's daughter went to see her mother, and saw her hanging upside down on the beam, her face flushed, and a little eunuch in front of her, holding an upside-down book, and her daughter said, "Don't listen to me when I tell you not to be a martyr, don't you feel bad now?"Let me tell you, it tastes even worse hanging!Hong Fu said: Cough!Why are we looking for something to do?Don't be idle, rub your legs for me, it's numb!

Mrs. Wei said that she had served many people who hanged themselves, but she had never seen someone as naughty as Mrs. Li. What.Or a seventy-year-old old lady lying on the bed like a mummy, who can be manipulated in any way.But Mrs. Li finally got her clean inside and out so she could hang herself, but she still wanted to go for a drive outside.In any way, she doesn't look like a person who wants to die.But she also admits that Mrs. Li is very generous. One ingot of gold today and one ingot of silver tomorrow are all paid out of her own private money;Mrs. Wei was impressed by the following fact: On the last night, Mrs. Li was lying in the tent to take a steam bath, and she brought a large basin of water to give her an enema.This is very painful.But Mrs. Wei did not complain, she lay on her stomach like a horse, with her buttocks raised high.

Mrs. Li's words were recorded by Mrs. Wei a lot, and she later published the book "Quotations of Mrs. Jie Lie's Martyrdom", and she made a lot of money.Here are some excerpts: That night, when Wei Gong and I were doing good things, it was this posture. — Conversation during the enema. After a while, I will see Li Jing.He said that night that he would work again after a break, but he didn't forget it. — A soliloquy at the time of death. When you get married in the future, you have to find someone younger.Be sure to give him a pulse before doing anything. ——A gift to my daughter.

I'll hang up later, if you fart, don't laugh at me. ——A dying message to everyone. In addition to quotations, this book also has many tidbits, among which it talks about Mrs. Li's last night, when she needs to hold a cleansing ceremony and shave off all the hair on her body.It was a group of little eunuchs who did this.Faced with Mrs. Li's beautiful body, the eunuchs were all moved, and all of them lost their minds.Mrs. Li raised her middle finger and flicked it away, and immediately a purple bump appeared.When the cleansing was completed, Hong Fu said: "The hair is all gone?"Is it steamed or baked now?

According to eyewitnesses, when Mrs. Li Weigong was martyred, she was dressed in plain clothes with light makeup on her face, making her look very beautiful.She came out of the bedroom, wearing a white nightgown, followed by two young eunuchs, holding her three-foot black hair, walked very quickly, and went straight to the platform.There were many waiters on the platform, and the people below shook the winch, and the platform rose.Although it was midnight at that time, the lights were brightly all around.There are huge crowds of people in the mat shed. This is because Mrs. Wei Gong of the Tang Dynasty died on the festival, and envoys from all over the world came to watch the ceremony.Hong Fu said, it's really embarrassing for so many people to come to see it.I don't know if the reception is good or not.Eunuch Liu said, Mrs. Lao Jielie doesn't need to worry about this matter - your old man's task is to die.While speaking, he took out the white silk that was bestowed by the emperor, and wrapped it around Hong Fu's neck three times.At this moment, Hong Fu glanced sideways at the iron hook and the beam, and said, "I look like a pig hanging."While speaking, black gauze curtains were set up around the table, so that people in the yard could not see them.Then things were quite complicated, when everything was settled, Eunuch Liu asked: Madam Jie Lie, what are your last words?Hongfu replied: I'll fuck your mother, hurry up!

two There are many details to add on this matter.For example, as soon as she got on the stage, Hongfu looked for a bench, because she thought that there must be a bench for hanging herself, but there was no bench on the stage.After questioning, I found out that there would be no bench in her business, because she didn't have to jump up and kick the bench over when the rope was around her neck.Mrs. Wei said, that method is not good, it often hangs people crookedly.The improved method is that Hongfu is used to pull a rope to activate the machine and lower the platform under the feet.This is a new invention, and of course it is beyond Hongfu's surprise.Hongfu took the rope and tried it out, but felt very dull.So she said: You don't even ask me about such a big matter.I always thought it was a stool, and I was always thinking about how to push it! While talking, a little eunuch came over and said: Mrs. Jie Lie, please give me your hands.Hong Fu asked: What are you doing?The man said: Excuse me for being rude, I want to tie up your old man.Hong Fu said: Are you afraid that I will run away?Mrs. Wei came to smooth things over and said: No.It's not good if you scratch around when you are old in the sky later.What's more, everyone knows that you are a kung fu master, you have great strength in your hands, and you can't catch them.Just please feel wronged.Fortunately, you are the one who is going to die, so you don't care about it anymore.While speaking, the little eunuch tied up Hongfu, making a big knot, and the movements were very skillful.Hong Fu said: You seem to tie people up a lot.Where did you learn it?The eunuch said: Just for your sake, I went to the Yamen to study for three days.Hong Fu said: "It's really hard for you. I will reward you ten taels of silver. Ask Aunt Wei for it."Aunt Wei, do we still have money? Mrs. Wei smiled wryly and said: Yes, yes, you can use it anyway.The whole story was this: Hong Fu's private money, except for her daughter, was placed with Mrs. Wei, and it was agreed that once Hong Fu died, it would go to Mrs. Wei.The more you use at this time, the less you will have left in the end.So it's no wonder that she has opinions and dares not to speak out.The little eunuch was very happy when he got the reward, and said: "I learned it from Brother Xu."Every time someone comes out of the yamen, Brother Xu is the leader.Great knowledge here!Binding men, tying women, tying nobles, and tying robbers are all different.Binding you, an old man, is the method of binding noble people.You see, how artistic the bundle is!She looked down, and it was really extraordinary.First of all, what bound her was a big red ribbon, which was different from the hemp rope.Secondly, there are many bows tied on this binding rope, which are hung in front of the armpit, under the abdomen and so on.On the chest is a big knot, like a peony.Even if you don't hang yourself, it's still pretty.Hong Fu laughed and said: If you didn't tell me, I would never have thought that I learned it from the executioner.I must think that the emperor is a sadist, this is the way to bind the queen. After the Hong Fu was tied up, someone brought a black ribbon and said, "Please close your eyes, old man."Hong Fu said: What is this for?Want to blindfold me?Are you afraid of what I might see?Mrs. Wei said: You are a layman.If the eyes are not tied with straps, black beads will burst out after hanging up, which is indescribably ugly.Hong Fu said: Ah, what a hassle!I want to die myself, not for anyone to see!Mrs. Wei was shocked and said: You must be hungry and faint!Widow martyrdom, who is not dead for others to see! Hongfu's eyes were covered.In the darkness, someone said: "I'm hanging a rope for you old man."Please keep your back straight.Straighten your waist again.All right.Your old man shook his head - how is it?Right? Hong Fu said: Zhengzheng, give me that rope quickly.Mrs. Wei said, this can't be done, it's too early.Now tighten the rope up.Your old man is on tiptoe - well, tighter.So he strangled Hong Fu straight up in the air.Hong Fu said, can we hurry up?I am very uncomfortable.Mrs. Wei said: There is no way.Want to be comfortable, don't die, old man.After adjusting like this for half an hour, Hong Fu felt that her toes were numb.After it was done, Mrs. Wei said, "It's all done, you can withdraw the tent."Then I heard the sound of pulling down the tent.The outside wind blows in, very refreshing.But Hongfu wanted to inhale a little into his lungs, but couldn't.Hongfu heard the voices below, full of praise and envy.Hong Fu said: "Okay, everyone has seen it, give me the end of the rope, I can't wait." At that time, Hongfu was very clear-headed. Although she was tied up like a bedroll and her eyes were pitch-black, she still remembered the essentials of her movements, that is, when she was about to die, sharpen her toes and don't punch her to death.And when the noose strangles the neck, straighten the neck.This is very important.Some people mess around in a muddle-headed way, and the result is that they are also in a mess when they are hung in mid-air.Some people were hung to the left or right, and their neck bones were broken. They died very quickly, but after death, they looked like a tree with a crooked neck, which was very ugly.Some people hang too far back, hanging in the air like a duck being held by the neck, these are bad looks.will be ridiculed.Worst of all, the front of the cover is pulled back, and the person hangs his neck in the air, like a giant fish lying on the beach.Because it is not strangled, it will not die when it is old.No one dared to put her down, because after she was put down, she would never try again.So I had to hang on for ten days and a half months.Hongfu thought, I must be successful, because I practiced martial arts when I was young, and my skills are strong, these gymnastics essentials can't stop me.She called Mrs. Wei over and said: What are we waiting for?Mrs. Wei said: "The emperor's kindness is mighty, Mrs. Jie Lie."The emperor and queen are coming to see you.I have to eat something while I'm at it.As mentioned before, Hong Fu stood there upright waiting to die, this moment was very long.In the darkness, she waited to meet death, who seemed to be the greatest lover.This is because it is very foreign.Her heart beat faster and faster, and she couldn't help moving her buttocks.Mrs. Wei said: Mrs. Jie Lie, you don't look good.There are so many people watching. Hongfu thinks that death is the greatest lover, so she becomes flustered.Not only did his face turn red, but his hands also trembled.Mrs. Wei comforted her and said: Don't panic, old man, everyone will be like this at this time.At this time, Hongfu felt that Mrs. Wei was really annoying.The joy of life ending.She can't experience it at all.Hong Fu took the end of the rope into her hand, her heart pounding.She wanted to pull the rope, but her hands would not obey.Mrs. Wei said, "You old man regret it, don't you?"How many ladies and ladies I have served, I regret it now.Shall I pull the rope for you?The emperor is watching from below.I dare to assure you that you dare not pull this rope.Hongfu said, "Let's talk nonsense about you." Hong Fu pulled the handle in his hand, and the platform under his feet collapsed, immediately hanging on his neck.At that moment, the eyes looked out, but they were restrained by the ribbon.The silk belt strangled her chin, and her teeth were tightly shut.Mrs. Wei came over immediately, sniffed her, and said, "Excellent."Your old man has a clean body and can go straight to heaven.how does it feel? Hong Fu said: Nonsense!My toes are still on the ground!Wei Poyu said: That's how it is.Such a half-hanging person has the most elegant posture when he dies.It just takes longer, do you have any objections?How do you feel now? Hong Fu said, holding her breath.It sounds like a cat meowing.She said again: Why did I change my voice?Mrs. Wei said, everyone is like this.How many stars are there in your eyes?Hong Fu said, one.two.This means one eye, two eyes.The old woman said, not bad.It will gradually increase.When you reach the nine, it is the time for your old man to ascend to heaven.What do you hear?Hong Fu said, no.Quietly.The old woman said it was still early.When I was about to ascend to heaven, my ears were very noisy.Would you like some vinegar?Drink it faster.Hong Fu said, don't drink.She finds vinegar too unpleasant to drink.The old woman said, in your case, it will take seven days and seven nights to not drink vinegar.Hong Fu sighed, not sure if it was too long or too short. The old woman called Li Jing's son and daughter (both born to the little wife) to come up, and everyone burst into tears.Some people say, mother, mother, how can you bear it.Dad is gone, and you leave us alone.Hong Fu was very moved when he heard this, and almost didn't want to die.But Mrs. Wei said: "Your mother is not dead yet, so it's not good to cry like this."The son immediately said: "They are all hung up, who said they are not dead."When Hong Fu heard this, she immediately became unmoved.Then the old woman said, you all go out.They are out.A group of servant girls came in, crying for their father and mother again.After hearing this, Hong Fu became very impatient, and twisted in mid-air.The old woman pushed everyone else away, and then said: Madam, it is unreasonable to blame the old man, I am going to be crooked on the stage.If your elderly can sleep, you might as well sleep for a while.The taste of tomorrow is very uncomfortable.After a while, I heard the old woman snoring.Suddenly heard a girl's voice: Mom!mom!It turned out that the daughter she had given birth to came.The child said: Do you regret it if you don't listen to me?Shall I untie you? Hongfu said to her daughter: Where have you been, I won't see you all night.What are you doing now?The daughter said: What are you doing?I'm here to save you.In the past few days, I have been running around and meeting a large number of loyal friends.Hong Fu said: What if you untie me?The daughter said: I have arranged everything.No matter how old you are, you look better than me.Get it out and sell it in a kiln, and it is guaranteed to be red.Hong Fu was taken aback: Good daughter, she actually wants to sell her mother!But the daughter said: You don't want to live anyway, why don't you use waste? According to this theory, Hongfu was called a waste by her daughter because she didn't want to live.Of course she wanted to ask: Who do you want to sell me to?The daughter said: You will be surprised again when you say it.Just sell it to myself.I opened a business outside, and the business is not bad.Get you out today, and you'll be mine.Hong Fu said: Well, thank you.But the daughter said: Thank you for what?I was born to you.Hong Fu said: Alright, stop talking nonsense.you go.Learn better in the future.The daughter was shocked and said, "Aren't you going with me?" Later, the daughter persuaded her for a long time, saying that she would never treat Hongfu badly, and promised to only give her good guests ("Don't worry! The place where I was born, not everyone can go if they want!"), guaranteed treatment Congyou ("If I don't treat my mother well, other sisters can follow me!"), promise not to abuse ("If you break the rules, you will only be hungry for a few meals, and you will never beat me. I can still beat me Mom?"), as a mother, Hongfu should be surprised by her daughter's words and deeds, but Hongfu ignored her and gradually became confused. Although being hung in mid-air, Hong Fu still fell asleep.When she woke up, she felt a little dizzy.In front of her eyes, four stars appeared, and there were creaking sounds in her ears.Beyond that, she found herself spinning.So she called Aunt Wei up, and the woman said it was still early.Up to now there are four stars, and the ears are not ringing too much. It seems that it can't be stopped for seven days and seven nights.Hong Fu said that she didn't want to talk about these things.She wanted to ask Aunt Wei to stabilize her body and not to turn her around.She said she was most afraid of spinning.Mrs. Wei Yu said that there was nothing she could do, because in her opinion, Mrs. Wei was doing well and hadn't turned around at all.Hong Fu said, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'll vomit.Mrs. Wei said, it doesn't matter, I can't spit it out.Hong Fu said that she really felt sick.Mrs. Wei said that everyone felt sick at this moment.It's midnight now, my wife might as well doze off again.Don't keep thinking that you are a living person. It is uncomfortable here and uncomfortable there. This is not beneficial.It's much better to think of yourself as a dead man hanging from a beam. Hongfu thought, if I were a dead person, why would I think?This old lady Wei is really confused.But Mrs. Wei yawned, stretched out her hand suddenly, and molested Hong Fu.Hong Fu was suspended in the air, unable to struggle at all.Originally, she didn't have this kind of problem (homosexuality), but now she is in a period of arousal, and she can't help but feel pleasure.After the incident, Hong Fu said, "Mrs. Wei, you are so brave!"Are you not afraid of me telling others?The old lady Wei said: I am not afraid at all.You don't feel it, after hanging for a night, your voice has completely changed, it sounds like a hiss, and no one but me knows what you are talking about.Girl, you are in my grasp now.I don't have to be polite to you now.Hong Fu said: I don't need to be polite to you, as you said, I'm going to die anyway.Mrs. Wei said: Auntie, I am the one who can control death.For example, you, if I hang you with some ginseng soup, you won't die for ten or eight days.How many stubborn girls finally called me grandma.Hong Fu said: Grandma Wei, if I don't die, you won't be able to go home either.It's not good for you either.Mrs. Wei said, "Changed your mouth?"I don't like to be called grandma, so you can call me Xiao Wei.Hong Fu said: My mother, what is your name is not good! Mrs. Wei clasped Hongfu's body between her legs and said: I want to judge you, such a beautiful person, why do you want to seek death.My mother, how good are your breasts.These legs are straight and slender, and the stomach is so flat.One by one below.You little hoof, it's dishonest to hang yourself!At this time, Hongfu thought, hanging in the air and flirting with people, this taste is too bad.The ending of this story is that Hong Fu fell into the hands of a bad old woman. three Hanging in the air, Hongfu began to foresee his future when he was bored.Wait until someone uses a mirror to test her nostrils and puts her down.At that time, she had just died of breath and was not yet stiff, so she quickly cut the blood vessel and let the blood out.At the same time, a funnel was inserted into her esophagus and a large amount of mercury was injected.It was poured until the blood vessels were full of mercury, and the mercury sweated on the skin before it could be counted.That way her body would never rot.When Hong Fu was alive, he weighed ninety catties.After being filled with mercury, it weighed more than 800 catties.At this time, she will turn silver-gray. When she rubs her finger, her fingertips turn gray. When she looks closely, there are many tiny mercury beads on her fingertips. Thinking about how heavy and such a color she will become, Hong Fu feels in her heart. Very uncomfortable.Then he untied the ribbon that tied her eyes, and helped her to sit up. At this time, her red hair, her complexion was like snow, and her gaze was eager, a hundred times more radiant than when she was alive.She will sit upright in the mourning hall like this for everyone to look up to.This incident will cause a sensation in the entire city of Chang'an, because Li Weigong's wife died as a martyr, which must be great news.Everyone from the emperor to the commoner came to see it.It takes a long time and the mercury will come out of the eye.In order to prevent such a thing from happening, on the third day after Hong Fu's death, molten lead was poured into her esophagus.Lead and mercury will form an alloy so that the mercury will not leak out of the eye.When Hongfu heard about this, she said, "My mother, you want to pour lead on me."But Li Jing's son said, "Auntie, you are already dead, so what are you afraid of?"You don't have to drink lead if you don't feel like it.Hong Fu said, if necessary, you can drink a little.Li Jing's son said, how much do you want to drink?Hong Fu said, how do I know?Li Jing's son said that from the composition of the lead amalgam alloy, after drinking two buckets of mercury, one should drink two buckets of lead.Hong Fu couldn't believe that she could drink so much lead, especially after a dozen strong men brought the lead to show her.She also saw many things, including the white cloth wrapped around the dead body, the coffin where the dead body was slept in, the large funnel used to fill the dead body with lead, and thick needles and threads.There are many openings in the human body that need to be sewn up after death.Hong Fu felt very uncomfortable seeing those needles and threads.But she had to have an opinion on these things, none of which would work if she didn't nod, and which were essential. I'm wrapping up the book now, and it's like unraveling a mystery.Li Weigong was already dead, while Hong Fu was hung on the rope, what happened later was not important anymore.This story has been brought to an end by Hong Fu himself.From this, a conclusion can be drawn: Hongfu's martyrdom is in a peaceful and prosperous age, and the leaders will explain everything in a good way.At this time, there was a Hong Fu who wanted to die for some unknown reason, and the leaders could take it calmly and regard it as an auspicious thing.This is the same situation I encountered. Now there is a Wang Er who has proved Fermat's theorem with an unknown method for an unknown reason. The leaders also regard it as a good phenomenon. It became a result of seeing myself as a human being.How happy we (Hongfu and I) are to live in a peaceful and prosperous age. Four Some other documents describe Hongfu's death as follows: After Li Jing died, she was very sad and asked for her death.Although the emperor of the Tang Dynasty praised her for her integrity, he didn't want a generation of famous ladies to die.So he ordered that before Hong Fu died, he should try his best to persuade her.In order to prevent her from hanging herself, she was specially thrown into a sky prison, and she was given shackles and chains.She was allowed to die only when persuasion failed.But Mrs. Jie Lie's determination to die became stronger.Finally returned to the west on the three-foot white silk. When the persuasion was ineffective, the emperor had to grant her death.He ordered Hongfu to be given the greatest honor, that is to say, let her enjoy the death penalty of the royal family.So on the chosen day, a tall gallows was set up in her home, Hong Fu was covered with a black veil, tied up with five flowers, and a gold death card was stuck in the back, rode a donkey, paraded through the streets of Nine Cities, and then Imprisoned by a prince, he was led to the gallows. The most amazing thing about this statement is that Hong Fu did not commit suicide, but was executed.This is something that cannot be justified.As for being given a crime card to go to Jiucheng to show the public before death, it seems a bit too much, but it is not unimaginable.Therefore, there are such details in some documents: Mrs. Wei asked to commit suicide on the table, and the emperor was furious and said: "It's unreasonable, if it's someone else, your surname Zhang is a bitch!"He suspected that Hongfu was trying to grandstanding, so he asked someone to arrest Hongfu and question him.Not only was he chained with shackles, but he was also tortured several times.But nothing came out.At this time, the emperor remembered that Li Weigong had made great contributions to the country, and it seemed a bit reckless to torture his widow just after his death.It is said that the emperor was quite annoyed and said: Hong Fu is also to blame for this matter!If you want to die, let yourself die, why do you have to make a statement!As the saying goes, if something is easy to catch, nothing is easy to let go, so what should we do now?The courtiers came up with such an idea, saying that they cherish the life of the lady.It sounds a little gross.All the emperors had other considerations. He said, "Should we arrest her like this, imprison her and torture her, should we let her go home and talk about it?"The courtiers said: This is not easy to handle, you can give her death.Anyway, she was going to die herself.The emperor has a sense of humor, so he said: death can't make her die, so fix her well, as a warning to future generations.The essence of this argument was that the emperor did not think it auspicious for Hongfu to commit suicide.The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was still very benevolent. If the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty were to change, Hong Fu would have to be beaten into the Jiaofang Division as a prostitute. In this statement, there is also the story of Hongfu going to the hot spring before being hung up.She was sitting in a prison car and escorted by female convicts.But that hot spring, only ladies can enter.So she was handed over to the maid at the door.But the maid can only help her undress, and cannot enter the bathing place.So they sent her to the next door, and said to the noble lady inside: Mrs. Wei is inconvenient, please help her.At this time, Hong Fu was not wearing a shackle, but only a gold handcuff, which was hung around his neck by a gold chain, and a pair of gold anklets, which was hung by another gold chain around his waist.She lowered her head and moved in small steps, and was immediately surrounded by the ladies inside.They said: Mrs. Wei, so sexy.Your gold chain is so pretty.Ah, this golden lock is also inlaid with flowers of silver thread.Let me paint your back.None of them noticed that Hong Fu's face was pale and her cheeks were thin. In order to show her determination to die, she had been on hunger strike for several days.Hu Jingde's old mother is the leader of the noble ladies, and she is over eighty years old.She said: Call Xiao Hongfu over, I have something to say.So Hongfu walked over, knelt down in front of the old lady and said: Mrs. Zhang, the prisoner, I have seen Mrs. Tai.The old lady said: Don't talk like that.Although you are wearing shackles and chains, it is the emperor's grace.As long as you change your mouth, these can be removed immediately.Hong Fu said: "Return to Mrs. Tai's words, the emperor has given her permission, and will give the prisoner's wife the death tomorrow."今天出来,主要是和大家见一见。老太太说,你叫我说什么好。说你好罢,你不听皇上的旨意;说你不好罢,你殉小李子,也是志气高。还有什么要说的吗?好罢,我不耽搁你。去罢。 胡老夫人头发稀疏,胸前垂着两个奶袋,脸上起了很多老人斑,眼睛已经混浊,像不新鲜的鱼。她身上的皱纹比皮都多,阴毛都花白了,纯粹是个丑八怪。而红拂则是那样的鲜嫩,皮肤洁白滑腻,身体的比例也非常好。胡老夫人坐在太师椅上,而红拂却跪在地下,别人看了觉得不公平。她们上前,把红拂扶了起来,把她架到温水里去。首先的话题,是牢里的生活怎样,伙食好不好。红拂说道:皇上的恩典,非常的好。其实根本就没有伙食,只有一些小米粥。红拂不肯吃,就用漏斗灌。灌完了以后,还用铅丝捆住她的脖子,防她呕吐。这些就是伙食。脖子上架着大枷,也不能躺下睡觉,只能坐着。禁子还说,反正你是要死的人,不要紧了。少喝点水,省得老要小便。红拂在牢里的情形就是这样的。 所有人都关心明天红拂死掉的细节。这情形将是这样的,他们将用绞车把她慢慢吊起来,让她死得既缓慢,又痛苦。这些细节已经向红拂宣布,问她有何意见。红拂没有说别的话,只是点了点头。但是这些细节她也不肯说出来。除了这些话,别人主要是为红拂抱不平,说她年纪轻轻就要死掉,真是亏得很。这些话就用不到红拂来回答。她闭上眼睛,向后一仰,让头发漂在水上,好像一大片浮萍。明确了明天死去,好像了却了一件心事,非常轻松。 在等待头发干掉时,红拂在躺椅上睡了一会,据说她把双手捧在了胸前,腿平伸在地上,就这样睡着了。那时候有一道锁链绕着她的脖子,另一道绕在她的腰间。这些刑具只是使她更好看。虽然是四五十岁的人,她的乳头依然像处女一样又红又嫩,爱巢上的毛发依然又黑又亮。只是脖子上有一道红印,这是因为不肯吃饭,吃了又要呕,所以用铅丝勒出的痕迹。像这样漂亮的女人,明天就要死了。死是对人的唯一威胁。不想死的人怕很快的死,想死的人怕慢慢的死,所以世界上才会有那么多人。 人家说,皇帝有意要红拂死前见到这些贵妇,是怕她们也要干这种为夫尽节的事。他希望红拂告诉那些贵妇牢里的可怕,但是红拂什么也没有说。这是因为红拂决心要再次跑掉,离开这个可怕的世界。 据说皇帝亲审红拂。就问她为什么要干这哗众取宠的事。红拂说道:没有哗众取宠的意思,只是有点想不开,觉得死要死个明白。皇上就说:我也有点想不开。你要死向我请示,叫我怎么办嘛。批准了也不好,不批准也不好。红拂说:就请皇上给犯妇一个恩典,叫犯妇死了罢。皇上说。那是可以的。但是要叫你死时多受些罪,怕你受不了。红拂说,皇上的恩典,有什么受不了。皇上就说:那好,我要治治你这沽名钓誉的家伙。但是明天要放你一天假,让你到处跑跑,让别的女人都看一看。根据这种说法,皇上以为红拂自杀是想沽名钓誉。此时最好顺杆爬,说那就请皇上治臣妻沽名钓誉之罪。这样很容易就能轻松地死掉。但是红拂非常的倔强,她一声也不吭。 后来红拂就出来洗澡,完成皇帝的嘱托。然后回到牢里去,等待被处死。睡了一会之后,她站了起来,向大家告别,走了出去。侍女们从给她穿上了衣服,她就走了出去。完成了这个任务,她以为可以安心的静待死亡了,但是事情和她想像的大不一样。 红拂认为,第一次从别人眼界里逃掉,是翻墙逃走,第二次她就无墙可翻,只好死去了。这一点别人无法理解,但是她也不想让人理解。她唯一的愿望就是让别人杀了她,而不是由自己杀自己。这是因为,她不是自己把自己生了出来的。 Fives 后一种说法说,红拂在死掉时不能说话。这种说法还说,她在行刑的当天早上,走到了为死囚准备的小房子里,那里有个光秃秃的人在等待,手里玩着一串钥匙。那人大概四十岁的样子。那人的脸是个大平板,几乎毫无特征。他给红拂开了锁,用聊天的口吻说:昨天玩得开心吗?那时候这间房子里只有红拂和那个男人。红拂抬头看了看,天花板很高,窗户也很高,还有一把椅子和一张高高的桌子。那个人说:把衣服都脱掉。快一点,卫公夫人,我的活多的很!而红拂只是稍稍犹豫,就把衣服都脱光。那个人就说:长得不坏,李夫人。坐下罢。让我试试你。原来这张椅子是个拷问椅,可以把坐上去的人双手铐在扶手上。这时他拿出一叠黄表纸,打湿了水,贴在红拂脸上。经过了反复测量,红拂停止呼吸的厚度是第七张。在此之前,红拂三次停止了呼吸,额头上的静脉凸起,脸色涨红。但是再往她脸上贴纸,她还是不躲不闪。 后来红拂躺在了台子上。她什么话都没说,据说她只是东张西望。那房子里终日不见直射的阳光,但是相当的明亮。四壁都是厚厚的软木板,外面的声音进不来,里面的声音出不去。她躺的台子是厚木板钉成,上面露着硕大的钉子头。在台子的四角上,有四个大铁环。那人说:这是捆你的。只要你乖,我就不捆你。红拂只是点了点头,没说什么。那人在提了一大桶肥皂水叫她喝,她就喝了—口,然后往空桶里吐。那人叫她再喝,她又喝了一口,如此循环,直到把胆汁全吐光。后来那人又叫她翻过身去,拿一个大漏斗往她肛门里灌了不少肥皂水。灌的时候问了一声,疼不疼。红拂也是摇头,不说话。那人说,到墙角出清肠子罢。她就点点头去了。然后那人叫她回来躺下,她又回来躺下。那人拿出一把大刷子,刷洗她的身体,好像在洗马一样。并且仔细洗了阴部,肛门,腋下,乳下等等地方,并且解释说,你的尸体皇上要看,可别有什么异味儿。他还用手指探了探肛门,闻闻手指说:灌得挺干净。卫公夫人,您不要不好意思。我是同性恋。红拂点了点头,仍然不说话。 那个人又说,假如我不是同性恋,你今天就糟糕了。这地方除了我,谁也不来。这句话里带有一丝淫秽的暗示。他用刷子把红拂的皮都刷出了血印子,但是她还是一声不吭。 后来那人又拿出了剃刀,把她的体毛全剃光,在此期间红拂还是不说话。只是在那人刮她的阴毛时哼了一声,这是因为当时他用手指撮起她的小阴唇,碰到了敏感的地方。而那人又捻了几下,她就不吭声了。然后那人又拿出很多小绳子,把她仔仔细细地捆起来,使她好像掉进了蜘蛛网,一点动弹不得。这些绳子有粗有细,粗的用来捆手臂,手腕,脚腕,膝盖,大腿,小腿,细的用来把大拇指,大脚趾捆住,并且在绳扣间连结。最后套上罩袍,袍外用丝绦勒了三道,这时他说:皇上吩咐说,叫你多受点罪,你今天可要难过了。你坐起来罢。红拂就坐了起来,据那人说,红拂坐着的样子仪态万方。 那人拿起一根亡命牌给她看,那上写着:奉旨殉夫人犯红拂一名。这个犯由古怪得很。名字上打了红叉。那人就把它插在红拂背上。然后他说:你说句话罢。红拂就说:谢谢你了。 刽子手说,我干了一辈子这个买卖,还没人谢过我。今天我送你上路,咱们也算有缘。能不能告诉我,你有什么毛病?但是她一声也不吭,那人就把她推倒在台子上,说道:躺躺罢。好大的毛病! 红拂就这样躺在台子上,而那人却喝起茶来。这段时间非常的长,好像永远过不完。红拂终于抬起头来问了一声,还要等多久?而那人却没有听见。这是因为她的声音太微弱。后来听见远处一声炮响,那人就拿出一节细绳子来,说道:对不住,现在要勒住您的脖子,叫你发不出声音。您有什么要说的,快说罢。但是红拂连张了几下嘴,又摇摇头。那人就把绳子套到她脖子上,慢慢绞紧,直到她呼吸微弱,才在绳子上结扣。这以后就用黑纱蒙住红拂的头,在此之前还说了一句:我就是今天的行刑刽子手。您不想多看我一眼?但是红拂把眼睛闭上了。那人就用黑纱包住了她的头,把她扛到了外面,放在驴子身上。据说红拂在驴身上侧坐,依然是仪态万方。 据说红拂站在绞刑台时,依然是仪态万方。然后她感觉到有人从背上拿去了犯由牌,又感到有人把绞索套在了脖子上。这时她尽力站得笔直。但是她始终也不知道什么时候开始吊,吊了有多高。因为在她眼前的始终是一片黑暗。而且她什么也听不见。其实当她被蒙上双眼时就开始死了,但是总也死不完全。据说这就是皇上的意思。他把京城所有的刽子手都找了来,给红拂设计了一种死法,就是一直在死,但是老也死不完全。这就是用绞车把红拂慢慢吊起来。吊到她还能用脚尖坚持住为止。当然,假如吊过了头,她就会开始抽搐,那样马上就会死。放此要用黄表纸测量她的肺部。她就这样站着,浑身笔直,脚尖酸痛,呼吸困难。但是她仍然保持了冷静。我写到这个地方,自己也感到诧异:像这样的事,我怎么能够知道?所以它就是真的吧。 根据这种说法,感到死之将近时,红拂曾经长叹一声。刽子手听见了就把头凑过去说:怎么样,卫公夫人?后悔了罢。要不要我把你解下来。但是红拂只是摇了摇头。她心里想的是:不管头头们怎么想,想要死还是办得到。这也就是说,红拂这座时钟走到了这里,眼看就要弦尽停摆了。 红拂最后的时刻,眼前真的出现了九颗金星。那些星星嗡嗡的飞着,好像一些铜做的大黄蜂。所到之处都留下刺痛。这些金星有时候飞进心底,在那里向深处猛钻,有时候飞到心外,几乎消失在视野之外。这个时候她自己也变成了一根飞旋的柱子,在震耳的轰鸣中移动着。这一切都沉浸在墨一样的黑暗中。这样的死亡和一个无性、无智、无趣的人生相比,也不知哪个更可怕。 six 到现在为止,我们还没有说到红拂自杀的直接原因。卫公死了,生活无趣,这些都是理由,但这些还不会导致红拂马上毅然绝然的死掉。卫公死掉以后,皇上念及他生前曾有大功于国,就封他的遗孀为长安城里的贵妇领袖。这就是说,红拂被任命为贵妇联(甲)的主任委员,今后从日出到日落都要主持会议,做大报告。当然,她当这个角色年轻了一点,故而要把头发剃光,装上黑白两色的假发,把牙齿拔光,装上假牙;身边还要有一位手拿记录本,准备画正字的女秘书。这样她就成了一个级别极高,但是毫无权力的大官;不做任何官该做的事,只是享受官的生活方式。而这种生活方式实在是可怕极了。像这样的任命是没法拒绝的,除非你就要死掉。红拂接到任命以后,马上就提出了殉节的申请。很显然,像这样的申请在审批中会遇到种种留难;被批准之后也会有种种实行中的困难。我觉得这样说明就够了一一只要不装假,我们每个人都不天真。 有人说,红拂被吊到最后,就变得非常的苗条。她皮下的脂肪都变成汗出来了,以致贴身穿的白麻布衣服都变成了浸了油膏的绷带,她自己也成了一盒油浸沙丁鱼罐头。这时候空气里满是异香——我们知道,好多种芳香物质都是脂溶性的,所以红拂一生所用香水的有效成分都在这件麻布袍子里了。她年轻时当歌妓,中年时当卫公夫人,所用的香料当然是车载斗量,而且全都十分名贵,这件衣服简直是价值连城。这时候红拂差不多已经死了,只有一点魏老婆子才能看出的呼吸。当时正是深夜里,她就蹑手蹑脚的行动起来了:解开了捆着红拂的那些带子,把亵袍从红拂身上剥了下来。这时候红拂静静的立在那里,一丝不挂,手脚僵直,但是身材苗条,有如十七岁的少女,半睁着眼睛,紧闭着嘴巴,双臂在空中僵直着;看上去好像是一具非常美丽的死尸或者一座非常美丽的雕像,但是魏老婆子知道她是活着的。这个老婆子急于把这件亵袍送到外面去卖给香料店的人,也没给红拂披上一件衣服就走了。等她回来时,事情发生了很大的变化。红拂不见了,只剩下一条空空的绫带。于是她就大哭,把别人都叫起来,编造了一个红拂仙去的神话。总而言之,红拂的棺材里是空的。谁都不知她到哪里去了。在绳子上吊了一个星期,她的模样有很大的变化,只有魏老婆子才见过她最后的样子。但是魏老婆子抵死不肯承认红拂是溜走了或者被人劫走了。所以找到她已经是不可能的事了。后来在她女儿开的妓院里就多了一位妓女,脖子上总缠着围巾,说话的声音低沉嘶哑,有人说那就是红拂,但是无法确认。这个故事是说,虽然红拂是兴高采烈,毅然绝然的想要死掉,但最后还是事与愿违。 我的书写到这里就要结束了。有人告诉我说,不能这样写书——写书这个行当我还没有入门。他们说,像这种怪诞的故事应该有一个寓意,否则就看不明白。我不能同意这种意见,虽然我一贯很虚心。在我看来,这个故事一点都不怪诞。我不过是写了我的生活——当然这个生活有真实和想象两个部分,但是别人的生活也是这样的罢。生活能有什么寓意?在它里面能有一些指望就好了。对于我来说,这个指望原来是证出费尔马,对于红拂来说,这个指望原来就是逃出洛阳城。这两件事情我们后来都做到了。再后来的情形我也说到了。我们需要的不是要逃出洛阳城或者证出费尔马,而是指望。如果需要寓意,这就是一个,明确说出来就是:根本没有指望。我们的生活是无法改变的。 seven 红拂这一辈子干过两件重要的事:一件是在不到二十岁时从洛阳城里逃了出去,另一件是在刚过五十岁时企图自杀。这两件事里有一件成功了,另一件不成功。不管成功不成功,两件事都引起了别人的诧异。因为这两件事她都不该干出来。红拂很少想入非非,她想到了什么就干什么。我现在依旧没有结婚,而且在和小孙同居。别人总问我为什么要这样做。说实在的,我也不知道是为什么。在我周围有一种热呼呼的气氛,像桑拿浴室一样,仿佛每个人都在关心别人。我知道绝不能拿这种气氛当真,他们这样关心别人,是因为无事可干。就是把这种气氛排除在外,大家也不能对别人漠不关心。就是我,也总在猜测别人是什么样的。这不是在猜测女人脱了衣服是什么样的,而是在猜测每个人在心底是什么样的,随时随地都在想些什么。 我现在经常想到一个人,就是那位在二次大战里躲在“边楼”的犹太小姑娘安妮。她在那里写了一本日记,说她相信每个人在心底都是善良的,然后就被纳粹抓走了,死在灭绝营里。这样她就以一种最悲惨的方式证明自己是错的了。她生命的价值就是证明了再不要相信别人是善良的。最起码要等到有了证据才能信。 你不能从人群里认出我来的,尽管你知道我头发灰白,一年四季总穿灰色的衣服。现在每天我都到系里去上班,在我的办公桌上故了一个老式的墨水池,那东西看上去像个眼镜,左边的一个墨水瓶里是红墨水,右面一个是蓝墨水,中间的凹槽里放了好多蘸水笔尖。每天早上我来时,都要仔细把笔尖挑选一遍,把磨秃了的笔尖拣出来,包在一张纸里扔进废纸篓;然后戴上老花镜批阅学生的作业。这些学生是加州伯克利教的。批完之后我把这些作业本拿到对面他的办公桌上,然后看教科书的校样,到十一点钟我到厕所去洗手准备回家——有人在洗手池上放了一撮洗衣粉,用它可以去掉手上的墨水渍。我就是这样一天天老下去了。从这个样子你决看不出我每天每夜每小时每一分钟都在想入非非,怀念着十七岁时见到的紫色天空,岸边长满绿色芦苇的河流,还有我的马兄弟。我本来不是这样,是装成这样的。你不可能从一个削瘦、憔悴的数学教师身上看到这些。有关人随时在想些什么,我只知道一个例子,就是我自己,别人不可能把一切都告诉我。所以我只好推己及人。在统计学上可以证明,以一个例子的样本来推论无限总体,这种方法十分之坏。安妮·弗兰克就犯了这种错误,从自己是善良的推出了所有的人都是善良的,虽然这份善良被深藏在心里,这个推论简直是黑色幽默。但是在这件事上没有别的方法了。到目前为止,没有一件事能让我相信我是对的,就是人生来有趣。过去有趣,渴望有趣,内心有趣却假装无趣。也没有一件事能证明我是错的,让我相信人生来无趣,过去无趣现在也无趣,不喜欢有趣的事而且表里如一。所以到目前为止,我只能强忍着绝望活在世界上。
