Live: I Keep Beekeeping Deep In The Rainforest

"Grandma wait.

Su Ran put down the fast food and walked quickly to Grandma.

Don't wait for her to speak.

Su Ran was the first to explain:

"My friend is from out of town, and she is ignorant.

"sorry!"

Done.

He bowed to grandma.

"Child..." Grandma quickly put down the basket and lifted him excitedly.

Lao Liu glanced at Su Ran and Granny at the door, smiled and turned back.

Studio.

Netizens were stunned.

Wang Xue also held Lin Xiaoyu blankly.

They watched Su Ran invite grandma back, picked up the money, and talked to grandma.

After a few minutes.

Su Ran came back with a few cakes and handed them to Wang Xue.

Lin Xiaoyu was still crying.

"All right."

"Grandma didn't do it on purpose, she didn't expect you to be so timid.

"Four Five Three"

Su Ran patted her on the back and handed her the change he got back.

Lin Xiaoyu didn't dare to look back at all, choked and said, "Is she still there?

Su Ran put the money on the seat.

He picked up the rice again and glanced at the live broadcast room.

[Old husband Lin Yanping: Anchor, what's going on?]

[Ye Ludan, Dean of Xianghu Hospital: Anchor, that grandma is...]

[Wild Child: Scared me to death, I will have nightmares at night. 】

[The local tyrant is so troubled: You are so powerful that you dare to approach her. 】

[…]

There are a lot of barrages.

They're all talking about grandma's tattoos.

Su Ran took a piece of pork trotter and said, "Don't be afraid, everyone.

"This grandma is from Li.

Lin Xiaoyu's choked voice became a little softer.

Wang Xue glanced at Grandma in surprise, and seeing that she was also looking at her, she quickly turned her eyes away and whispered, "I have seen Li people too, but they don't have these... tattoos.

Su Ran nodded slightly and introduced:

"In Coconut Island, women surnamed Li have always had the tradition of tattooing."

"It's ridiculous, we actually regard this kind of tattoo as an intangible cultural heritage."

“There used to be a Li doctor grandma in our village who also had tattoos. 99

Lin Xiaoyu's ears perked up.

I saw Su Ran's voice drifting slowly.

"Tattoos are one of the most unique cultures of the Li people in Yedao, and are only owned by women."

"Li people call tattoos Da Deng."

"The custom of Daden, according to legend, began in the Han Dynasty. In Yang Fu's "Foreign Objects" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is such a record: Dan'er, southern barbarians, when they are born, their cheek skins are cut, connected to the ears, and divided into several branches. Like chicken intestines, drooping down to the shoulders."5

"Dan'er is talking about Yedao, which means the Li people on Yedao, who were born with tattoos, the patterns are as complex as chicken intestines, and the area is as large as the shoulders.

Wang Xue was shocked: "I got tattoos when I was a baby?"

【Grip the grass, it's too scary!】

【Do they have this custom?】

[It's true, I traveled to Yedao and saw the grandma weaving cloth, which scared me and ran away. 】

[It seems that I have seen them too, and they are all elderly women. 】

【Anchor, what the hell is going on?】

One by one pop-up.

questioned Su Ran.

Su Ran waved his hand and took another piece of meat.

"How could it be a baby tattoo? The ancients were ignorant and spread the truth based on falsehood. Yang Fu also heard it.35

“Tattoos of the Li people with hairy nature started around the age of 12. They called Kaimian, and they first embroidered the face on the face, and they did not do it casually. 99

"They would choose an auspicious day, and the main woman of the village would come to the girl's house and dip it in chicken feathers or rushes, dried herbs and charcoal ash, and put it on the girl's face, neck, body and limbs. Draw texts representing the pictorial symbols of the family.99

"After the pattern is drawn, the main woman will use bamboo thorns or vine stalks to make tattoos, one needle at a time, and when the writing water penetrates into the girl's skin, the tattoo on the thorn will remain for life.

"This process is divided into several years, this year's face tattoo, next year's neck tattoo, and finally the whole body, like my grandma.

"Each Li tribe has its own pattern.

[Old husband Lin Yanping, sending a plane: Why do you do this? A 12-year-old child... how painful. 】

[Nankai Li Meimei, sent 1 application card: Yes, these parents are too cruel. 】

[Aunt Liu, send a plane: It sounds terrible, I can't bear to let my child suffer this kind of crime. 】

[...)

The barrage is full of curiosity.

I was attracted by the process that Su Ran said.

Su Ran smiled and poked Lin Xiaoyu: "Keep eating.

Lin Xiaoyu shook his head in panic: "Why did they do this?"

Su Ran took another bite of the rice before speaking.

"I also asked the grandmother in the village. She said that the Li people remembered the great achievements of Li's mother in multiplying the Li people, and warned future generations that women's face embroidery and tattoos are the rules set by their ancestors..."

"If a woman doesn't have face embroidery or tattoos, her ancestors will not recognize each other after her death."

bang.

The live room exploded.

【Just for this shit?】

[Are they face blind and rely on tattoos to recognize their daughters?]

[To worship ancestors, it is enough to kill livestock. Why do you want to harm children like this? 】

[These parents are too cruel. 】

[What age is it, does our country still have such a terrifying tradition?]

[Men should get tattooed with these ugly designs too. 】

[Ancestors are also patriarchal. 】

Su Ran shook his head and sighed, "Everyone guessed wrong."

"The ancients believed this, otherwise they wouldn't abide by it."

He opened the bag, took out a white rice cake, and said after eating it.

"I realized later."

"They can't do it either."

"In those distant eras, the world was very chaotic. Whenever the beacon fire was lit, it was accompanied by burning, killing and plundering. The victims were always ordinary people, especially women."

"So in order to protect their daughters, the Li people use tattoos to make them ugly in order to protect themselves.

"Similar examples, there are also the large lip plate of the Moshe tribe in Africa, and the Apatani tribe of the Three Kingdoms.

"They all trick women in different ways, tricking them into thinking that's beauty.

"0.4 This method looks cruel, but it is different from small foot binding. Small foot binding is to control women, but tattoos are to protect women. The real meaning behind it is actually the care of parents and the silent resistance of the weak.

"For foreign enemies, if they see the women they robbed, they will think they are ghosts, or they can do sorcery, and they will not dare to touch them.

"After the establishment of our country, the Li people have slowly abandoned the tattoo tradition.

"Because they already feel peace and don't want their children to suffer like this anymore, this tattoo custom can only be seen on women over the age of sixty or seventy."

"That's why Lin Xiaoyu suddenly saw Grandma being frightened.

"Little fish.

"Grandma asked me to apologize to you. She sent you an extra piece of coconut cake."

Su Ran brought four pieces of coconut cake to Lin Xiaoyu.

Lin Xiaoyu was shocked suddenly.
