Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods
Chapter 292 The Gateless Country
Once upon a time, there was a businessman named Lu Heng in Changzhou who specialized in doing business with foreigners, mainly selling foreign goods to China.
In the 40th year of Qianlong's reign, when Lu Heng went to sea to purchase goods, he encountered a big storm and the ship was blown over into the sea. Unfortunately, everyone on board died.
Only Lu Heng was lucky enough to catch a piece of wood and didn't drown. He hugged the board tightly and floated to another country as the waves rolled.
After Lu Heng came ashore, he saw that the people here all lived in buildings. There are three-story buildings and some five-story buildings.
Generally, grandparents live on the third floor, parents live on the second floor, children live on the first floor, and so on. If there is a great-grandfather in the family, then the building of this family will be higher, and great-great-grandfather will live on the top floor.
What surprised Lu Heng was that although all the houses here had door openings for people to enter and exit, they were not equipped with blocking doors.
After asking, I found out that every household here is very wealthy and no theft has ever occurred.
When Lu Heng first arrived here, he couldn't understand the language with the people here, so he could only make gestures with his hands. Over time, as I lived there longer, I gradually became able to understand their words.
They heard that Lu Heng was from China, and they all respected him.
The customs here are very different from those in China. One day in China is two days here.
This is usually the case here. People get up when the cock crows, or start working in the fields, or go to the market to trade. By noon, the entire country goes to bed. When the sun sets, people get up again and do the same things as they did in the morning. At Xu time, everyone went to bed again.
When asked about their age, the one who said he was ten years old was equivalent to five years old in China; the one who said he was twenty years old was actually only ten years old in China.
Lu Heng lived more than a thousand miles away from the country's capital, so he never had the chance to see the king.
There are very few officials here. There are those who are holding ceremonial guards and traveling with entourage behind them. They look like Chinese officials. The locals call them "Barro", and they don't know what their position is.
Men and women here are free to fall in love, and they can get married as long as they like each other. Generally, good people match good people, beautiful people match beautiful people, ugly people match ugly people, old people match old people, young people match young people. People of the same type get married, and no one has ever complained about being forced into marriage.
The criminal law here is also very strange: if you cut off someone else's feet, then you must also cut off the criminal's feet; if you hurt someone else's face, then you must also hurt the criminal's face. The location and proportion of the injuries are both different. Be completely consistent.
If someone rapes someone else's child, then someone must also rape the offender's child. If the prisoner has no children, a wooden stick is cut into the shape of a man's penis and is used to poke the prisoner's asshole.
Lu Heng lived in this country for a total of thirteen months.
Just when he was thinking about how to get home, his luck came: a Chinese merchant ship docked here to avoid the south wind. After Lu Heng got the news, he rushed over and took a short boat back to China.
After Lu Heng returned home, he talked about this experience with his friends. Everyone was amazed, but no one knew what country it was.
Later, an old foreign merchant who had business dealings with Lu Heng said that he had been to that place, and that country was called the "Wumen Country" on this island, but it had not had much contact with China since ancient times.
