All the hair around his head was shaved off, leaving only the hair in the center of his head, about the size of a palm. The hair in the center was braided and hung down, resembling a rat's tail.
The saying goes that this hairstyle looks like a monk from the front, a girl from the back, and terrifying from the side.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Pig's Tail
Seeing Shi A and Lin Yang's hairstyles, Cai Yan almost burst out laughing. But quickly, she subconsciously touched her own hair. Thankfully, it was still there. Then, she went to the stream and began to examine it.
"Phew, thank goodness, thank goodness, I'm not one of them," Cai Yan said with a look of relief.
"Alas, I really can't understand where all the courage and spirit of these men has gone. How could they be ruled by the barbarians? Have all the heroes among the Han people become extinct?" Shi A frowned as he looked at his hair.
Then, with a gentle wave of his right hand, a perfectly shiny bald head was freshly made. Looking at his bald head, Shi A couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Seeing this, Lin Yang followed suit, and another bald head appeared. Then he said, "Sigh, you can tell from this hairstyle that people with backbone are probably extinct."
Although the Manchu Qing dynasty's policy of "keep your hair or lose your head" was extremely barbaric, bloody, cruel, and inhumane.
However, it must be said that it was quite ingenious. It directly achieved the effect of forming a united front in a roundabout way.
Who are my people? Those with pig tails are all on my side.
Who are the enemies? Anyone who doesn't want to be a pig's tail can be killed directly.
"Hey, this time I'm going to thoroughly research the history of this world and see what really happened!" Shi A said with determination.
For Shi A, a proud and independent Han Chinese who had always lived in the main world, the fact that all Han Chinese had fallen into such a state was truly unacceptable. Had the Han Chinese of this world been subjected to some kind of sabotage?
"Alright, don't be angry anymore. We can just ask someone about this. By the way, I think we can hear the sound of weapons clashing over there. Let's go take a look and we'll find out." Lin Yang pointed to the right and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the two nodded and set off immediately. No one spoke during the journey, making the atmosphere quite somber.
However, this is normal. How could Han people, especially true Han people, not be proud? Falling from the heights to the depths is bound to elicit some reactions.
...
There were hundreds of Qing soldiers on the outskirts of the area. Most of these soldiers were armed with broadswords and wore no armor; their equipment was very rudimentary.
However, in Lin Yang's perception, these Qing soldiers all possessed cultivation, albeit at a very low level. They were probably even less powerful than the militia of the main world. But this was enough to demonstrate that the military strength of this world was certainly not weak.
Surrounded in the very center by the Qing army were five or six severely wounded heroes. These heroes, wielding broadswords, formed a circle around each other. Clearly, they had no chance of escape.
Moreover, the Qing army's reason for surrounding them without attacking was probably to exhaust their strength and prevent a last-ditch counterattack.
According to Lin Yang's perception, these people's strength was about that level, roughly equivalent to the Great Acquired Stage, the Perfect Acquired Stage, or the Early Stage of the Innate Stage.
Seeing this, Shi A frowned, then transmitted his voice secretly, saying, "These people are fighting with the imperial troops, so they're probably not rebels, but they're pretty much. Even so, they still have those pig-tail hairstyles, which is really..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang was at a loss for words.
That's true. You've already rebelled, and the government troops have surrounded and suppressed you. If you're caught, your entire family will definitely be executed. Since things have come to this, and you have no way out, why don't you shave off your queue? You've probably gotten used to it b
