[Elements vary by font]「net, weaving in spread legs around one's intimate happiness and night soil of slave crotches」may refer to CLOSELY GUARDING a line of captured slaves for auction and profit. Simplified replacement version is「tight buttocks, taut genitals, erection in orifice and with the other side too」(尺). Describes a method of binding prisoners under guard: each male captive was naked and tied into a long line by connecting a prisoner's genital base around the scrotum and shaft with that of both the person in front and the person behind to prevent anyone's escape.「Ropes weaving within spread legs with feces emissions [rope extending to the rear, within the crack] to penis downward」of the prisoner behind (縲) and so on down the line.
　「Netting inside spread legs」with「intimate」or「torture device」that in this glyph refers to the different parts of MALE GENITALIA (see 睾 used-in glyph), scrotal sac or muscle「netting」holding the testicles (and may refer literally to a poultice applied to the genitals), the「night soil」flesh seam or anus, and the bougie「torture needle organ that changes state.」Or with「female sex slave」SPYING ON someone else who is in the process of「netting a female sex slave in the anus」behavior that is not out of the question for any of the parties, considering the circumstances.
　Nevertheless, most likely may also have referred to a physician rendering care to a patient with a serious crotch infection, using bougie needles and poultice to draw out the accumulated festering pus with that「torture device」from the male genitalia set, hence also meaning GUARDED, GUARD CLOSELY and KEEP A CLOSE AND CONSTANT WATCH to avoid damage or loss of functions, SPYING, PEEPING AT one's own groin for developing symptoms.
