The story is told by three bystanders, and the protagonists of the story are three, a husband, a wife, and a robber. Two of the bystanders were witnesses because they were the last to see the dead man, who was the husband. Three versions of the three protagonists, plus a bystander who claims to see the truth, adds to the mystery and weirdness of the whole story.
The first to tell the story is the robber. He said that when he was sleeping in the woods, he saw a man walking past him with a horse, and immediately a woman sat with a veil on her head. The first time he saw her, he felt that he saw a goddess, so he had The urge to possess her. He tricked her husband into the mountain, tied him up, and when he came to the foot of the mountain to tell the woman that her husband was sick, the woman turned pale like a child when he heard it, and he was very jealous of that man all of a sudden. He ran to the mountain with her. The woman started crying when she saw her man. After crying for a while, she took out her dagger and stabbed the robber. When she knew it was useless anyway, she began to cry in despair, the robber. Comforted him in the past, so the first act that shocked me happened, the woman gave up her resistance, complied with the robber, and let him possess her, all under her husband's nose. So the robber was about to leave with the woman. The woman said that she had done such a shameless thing, that two men could not be allowed to live at the same time, only one of them could live, and she would live with the other person. So the robber and her husband started a life-and-death duel. Finally, after 23 rounds, the husband was defeated by the robber's sword. When the robber looked back for the woman, she was long gone, and the robber sold the husband's sword and didn't look for the woman again!
The second one came out was the woman. She said that when he was forced to submit to the robber, her husband looked at her not with anger, not with grief, but with coldness. She felt like she was going crazy and begged him not to look at him like that, and let him hit her and kill her. But the husband's eyes were still so cold, the woman was distraught, and when she lost her mind, she stabbed her husband with her own dagger!
After watching these two versions, I was already on the verge of collapse, I didn't expect the story to be over, and there was more cruelty!
The third person to appear is the husband. The dead don't lie. When a psychic person incarnates as that husband, another version emerges. After his wife was raped by a robber, the robber made her his wife. After such absurd remarks her wife even told the robber that she would follow her. And not only that, when the robber and her were about to leave, the woman actually let the robber kill his husband! Not only his husband was shocked, but even the robber Lan turned pale. After the robber saw the woman's true face, he stepped on her and asked her husband what to do with her. While they were talking, the woman ran away, and the husband committed suicide in a state of extreme depression!
As I saw it, I couldn't understand it more and more. I was struggling with the complexity and human nature while watching it. How could a story be so profound and touching? I began to admire the director!
The last person to appear, that is, one of the witnesses, although he reported the case to the yamen, he did not tell the truth, and he did not want to get involved. He said he saw what happened to them with his own eyes. After a woman was raped by a robber, the robber was willing to make a change for her and asked her to be his wife. And women let them decide the outcome. After the husband loosened his bond, he said that the woman had already been fucked by two men, so why not commit suicide. He would rather sacrifice for a horse than for this woman. After the robber heard it, he could see the real face of the woman. When the two were about to give up, the woman said that she liked a passionate man. Her husband is cowardly, because even if she wants to commit suicide, why not kill the robber first, and then kill her, and the robber is not a real man, because he has no ability to save her from a boring farce, a man should Talk with the sword. So the two men picked up their swords again and killed me to the death. In the end, the husband was killed by the robber's sword, and the woman was also stimulated to escape!
When the story is said, I think everyone will guess who said it is true, but I don't believe any of them anymore, because what other reasons make me believe what human beings say? Each of them speaks from their own standpoint, and they all say that they are the most wronged and the kindest, while others are filthy, and the truth is that no one is truly kind. Anyone who wants to survive in this world must learn to be selfish and cruel. Like the bystander listening to the story, he would steal the clothes of an abandoned baby. Maybe you would say that he did it too badly, but he thought it was a normal thing, and he said that the villain ruled in this world. You have the strength to teach him why he doesn't teach the parents who abandoned the baby. Moreover, he bit another person who saw the truth, saying that he was not the same. Seeing that the woman's dagger was valuable, he ran to sell it! In fact, everyone is the same, they are all dirty creatures!
The monk was speechless with the baby in his arms. Everything made him feel what the human soul is like, and when the butcher said he was willing to raise the child, it made him feel that there is still a beautiful place in the world!
And after watching this movie, my thoughts are in a state of stagnation, because I don't know how to look at this story, how can I really understand him, I should not be entangled in the four versions of this story, who is right? , because all the versions are one-sided, what I am struggling with is what the human soul is like, how can it be so ugly!
Therefore, I am still naive after all, because the human soul has always been like this from ancient times to the present. It will not become kind because of a rich era, nor will it become ugly because of a turbulent era. They didn't realize it was because they didn't have the opportunity to express themselves. As long as a specific situation was required, all their true colors would still be revealed. I shouldn't doubt anything, and I shouldn't despair. All I have to do is see, see everything! See this world, this society, this human being. Because everyone, including myself, has the inferiority of human beings. And seeing it clearly is accepting it, so that I won't suffer as much as I am now!
The story that happened under Rasho's family will continue to be staged in the future. You don't have to be surprised or sad. It's just a play, a cruel and real play that everyone will experience!
