In the remote mountainous area, there is a small town called Xiajia Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The town is built on the source of a ravine, the town is surrounded by a rushing river, the mountains stretch behind the town, and there is a lake on the mountain that is the source of drinking water for the town. There is a drama troupe run by an old couple surnamed Xia in the town.
In the middle of the night, the inhabitants of the town went to sleep. There was a cry of "Wow Wow ......" at the entrance of the drama theater. The old lady of the Xia family pushed the sleeping old man Xia, and when she saw the old man wake up, she asked, "Old man, you hear the cry of a baby." The old man turned around and said, "Old woman, you heard wrong, there is no doll near the theater for fifty meters, and the dolls are under the age of three, let alone babies" The old lady thought about it, and then pushed the old man Xia and said, "Old man, do you think it will be the legendary ghost baby?" The old man Xia was annoyed and said, "The old lady is still not at ease", or let's go and see, this cry is very uncomfortable, I can't sleep if I don't understand it" The old lady said this, and the old man also wanted to see it. Then let's go back by dressing up like Zhong Kui and Guan Erye, even if there is anything unclean, it can also scare and scare it. The old lady listened to it and had a bottom to it, "Well, do it, you will play Zhong Kui, and I will play Guan Erye." ”
The two old men came to the room where the costumes were placed in the dark, and the old man put on Zhong Kui's red robe, put on a star hat and a big beard, took out the red and black Zhong Kui's face from the face cabinet, put it on, and pulled out the Heavenly Master Sword from the sword table. The old lady put on Guan Erye's dark green robe, put on Guan Gong's unique hat and long beard, found the face of Guan Erye with a red face from the face cabinet, put it on, and pulled out the Qinglong Yanyue Knife from the weapon rack. "The old man is ready," the old man looked out the door and said, "Well, I'll go out first in a while, and you follow the mat." "Granny, no, I should say that it is Guan Erye now" understood" Zhong Kui nodded and said, "Then I'll go." You hurry up and keep up. ”
After speaking, he came to the hall with the Heavenly Master Sword in his hand and a jump slash, "Bah, where is Zhong Kui here, the little ghost dares to be presumptuous." Second Master Guan followed closely and shouted, "Grandpa Guan is here, where is the little ghost coming out to die, haha." Wielding the Green Dragon Glaive Knife, a large wheel slashed into the hall. Zhong Kui and Guan Erye couldn't hear the cry, they waved their weapons, turned around a few times, and stood back to back in the center of the hall. Guan Erye asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?" Zhong Kui replied in a low voice, "No, the crying stopped for a while." That thing may be gone," Second Master Guan listened, but didn't hear the cry, "That's good." ”
Zhong Kui and Guan Erye waited for a while that the thing was really gone, and they sat on the chair in the hall with peace of mind, and put the weapon aside. Second Master Guan looked at Zhong Kui and said, "Old man, did you do something bad outside to find those things?" Zhong Kui retorted, "Old woman." Don't you know who I am? Besides, we've been singing all our lives, what kind of bad things can we do, what is really the matter, the town has already spread it. Guan Erye thought for a while, "That's what I said." ”
At this time, the cry of "wow, wow, ......" sounded again. Zhong Kui and Guan Erye immediately picked up the weapons around them and stood back to back. Zhong Kui said, "Here it is again," Guan Erye listened, "The voice seems to come from outside the courtyard gate." Zhong Kui nodded and said, "Well, let's go and have a look." Zhong Kui and Guan Erye came to the courtyard gate. Zhong Kui said to Guan Erye behind him, "After a while, you use a big knife to open the door latch, and then rush out together." "Well, I understand" Guan Erye held the big knife and picked it lightly, and the door latch "snapped" and fell to the ground. "Wow wow......" The cry began again. The sound is louder. Zhong Kui and Guan Erye were taken aback, and immediately stepped back two meters and stood together back to back. "Old woman, this thing is so bold, let's roar twice and take a look, I'll come first" said and put the Heavenly Master Sword in his hand across his chest and shouted, "Zhong Kui is here, the little ghost who came dares to be presumptuous." Second Master Guan Qinglong Yanyue said, turned around twice, and stood on the ground and shouted, "Grandpa Guan is here, and the little ghost thing will come to die quickly." ”
At this time, the voice outside the door changed, crying and laughing, and it sounded even more terrifying. Guan Erye listened to it and felt that it was not quite right, "Old man, it doesn't seem to be something unclean, it seems to be really a baby's crying and laughing" Zhong Kui listened quietly, "Well." I think so, too. Guan Erye opened the courtyard door with a big knife. A bamboo basket comes into view. Bursts of crying and laughter came from the basket, Guan Erye picked open the cloth on the basket with a big knife, and the face of a crying baby was revealed. The baby smiled at the light. The hearts of the two elders finally relaxed. Guan Erye picked up the basket, "How can there be a baby here", "It seems to be abandoned", "It's so pitiful, what should I do." "Let's bring it in first, it's not a matter of putting this in, when it's dawn, let's discuss what to do together" said and began to take off his robe. Guan Erye's basket was placed on the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall, and the one who was talking about evil also went to change clothes.
Wait for the old man and Mrs. Xia to change their clothes and come out. There were already quite a few people in the hall. Old man Xia looked at everyone, "Why are you all up?" At this time, a middle-aged man stood up, "That head Xia, you and your wife made such a big noise at night, can we not know? But those words you shouted, we thought there was something unclean, and we were a little scared, so we didn't dare to come out." Now that it's quiet, I came out to take a look, are you okay, is that thing being driven away?" Old man Xia glanced at everyone, feeling unhappy, "That thing" Old man Xia deliberately slowed down, and everyone leaned over to hear clearly, "It's there" and pointed to the basket on the table. Everyone was shocked. Sneaking out of the head, I found that Mrs. Xia took out a baby from the basket, and I knew about it. A middle-aged woman said, "Captain Xia, you are so shameless, deliberately scaring us" "Do I have it?" They despised it.
Old man Xia was uncomfortable and coughed dryly. "Now that we're all here, let's talk about what to do with the baby. The middle-aged man asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?" Mrs. Xia lifted the cloth and looked at it, "baby girl", and the crowd was in a doldrum. After all, this is a patriarchal era. The middle-aged woman immediately said, "I already have two daughters and a boy, and I can't raise such a lot" Old man Xia looked at the middle-aged man, and the man immediately shirked it, "That Xia head is good, you see that I have just been a stick for half my life, and I can't take care of myself, let alone take care of the children, you look for Xiaomei, she is the best at taking care of people." Xiaomei was about to cry urgently, "Commander, Commander" couldn't tell what to say for a long time. Mrs. Xia looked at Xiaomei, "Okay, Xiaomei is not married yet, I want her to take a child, how can I marry in the future." "Xiaomei is grateful, "Thank you, Granny Xia, thank you, Granny Xia." ”
The middle-aged woman suddenly shouted, "Look at the baby's feet. Everyone looked over and found that the baby's right foot was abnormally twisted, Mrs. Xia touched it and sighed, "Congenital dysplasia, may be a cripple for the rest of her life, no wonder she was abandoned, alas, so pitiful!" Everyone, you look at me, I see you don't know what to say. An old man came out and said, "Lao Xia, your family has sacrificed her life for the country for a few years, and you don't have a queen, so you might as well raise her!" Mrs. Xia looked at the baby girl who was asleep in her arms, "Old man." Ah Guo has been gone for a few years, and this baby girl appeared in the theater, it seems that God took pity on us and sent it to us" "Okay, from today onwards, she will be our granddaughter, come and hug me" Old man Xia nodded the baby girl's nose with his hand, "Now let's give you a name, you were abandoned not long after you were born, and I don't know how many tribulations there will be in the future." You will be called 'crossing' and all tribulations. From today on, you will be called, Xia Du. ”
