Chapter 117: Bald Tail Lao Li (Second Watch)

On the road from the puddle to Hantun, there is cotton on both sides of the road, and people are breaking the sliders of cotton in the field. When they almost reached the embankment, there was no one, so the two of them hurried into the space and cleaned themselves up first.

It's been a toss-up day, and I'm really tired. Tomorrow I won't do anything, go to Pingcheng to rest for a day, and take a closer look at the yard I just bought.

The two women came out of the space, the weather changed suddenly, and the dark clouds in the sky pressed down from the northwest.

When my grandmother saw it, she said that it was not good, and hurriedly pedaled the bicycle to rush home. Fortunately, there are still more than two miles away from home, and the heavy rain poured down as soon as they entered the village, and the wind was too strong to hold the umbrella, so the mother and grandfather went to their uncle's house to take shelter from the rain.

My aunt handed my grandmother a dry towel and went to find her clothes. The second aunt brought the clean clothes of Zhigang over and changed them for Youyou.

looked at Yoyo and said, "Let's Yoyo is really long this year, we can wear Zhigang's clothes." "Yes, Zhigang and Youyou are both five years old, but he is two months older than Youyou, and he is a boy, and he is taller than Youyou.

After changing their clothes, everyone sat in the hall and played. My uncle said, "Fortunately, it was raining, and when I saw the black clouds coming from the northwest, I panicked. ”

My aunt and uncle also said, "Sister, you haven't come back that year, and the dark clouds are coming from the northwest, and the hail is almost as big as an egg, and the flat ground is two fingers thick, and the tiles on the roof are all smashed, and there is not a single crop left all over the ground." Fortunately, the grain was ripe, and the ears of grain were taken back. That year, everyone ate bran together, and they finally survived. ”

Grandma answered: "Bald-tailed Lao Li, even the wind and rain." In June of any year, there is such a one. ”

After listening to this, you hurriedly asked, "Grandma, what is the bald tail Lao Li?"

The three old men talked about the story of the bald tail Lao Li.

This is a touching legend: a long time ago, a pregnant girl, due to a long journey, collapsed in exhaustion outside a village on the edge of the Yellow River, and was taken in by the village well-wishers.

The girl saw that the people in the village were simple and diligent and kind, so she paid attention, and the kind person introduced her to a family surnamed Li.

When the young man saw that the girl was very handsome, he fell in love, so he did not dislike her that she was pregnant, and they became a family. Because the girl said that she was the third in the family, her husband called her Sanniang.

At the beginning of June, when Sanniang went into production, there was no moon in the sky this night, and black clouds were overwhelming. The husband was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the little life, and when he heard the cry, he was very happy.

After a while, the midwife hurriedly walked out with the child in her arms, and her husband, who had just been very happy, had a sense of foreboding and hurriedly took the child.

Seeing that the child was not only dark-skinned, but also had a tail behind his buttocks, the husband was amazed and thought that he had given birth to a freak, and how to see people when he passed it out

After much thought, he put the child on the bed, went to the courtyard and took a sickle, and cut off the child's tail at once.

In an instant, a bolt of lightning opened the rear window and headed straight to the northeast. When the husband turned back, he found that the child was gone, and it was pouring rain and thunder outside.

It turned out that Sanniang was the third princess of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The Dragon King of the East China Sea wants to marry the third princess to the eldest son of the Dragon King of the West Sea. But this eldest prince is idle all day long and does not do his job, and the third princess hates him very much.

Moreover, the third princess has already made a private engagement with the second son of the well-informed and dignified Dragon King of the South China Sea. So, the third princess and the second son secretly eloped. The Dragon King of the East China Sea was furious, and he sent a soldier to capture the three princesses.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea was angry with the third princess because of her fierce personality and disobedience, and expelled her from the Dragon Palace. The third princess who was in the mortal world was pregnant at that time, so the child she gave birth to was actually a dragon.

Therefore, people call it the bald tail Lao Li. Every year at the beginning of June, when it is his birthday, he returns to visit his mother.

Because of his hatred, his father cut off his tail, and every time the clouds were over, the wind was fierce, and sometimes hail was carried with it.

Everyone chatted for a while, and then it was pulled to the eldest son-in-law of the second master's family. My uncle and grandfather said that he came back today, brought less than 50 catties of wheat, and invited the branch secretary of his village, saying that he wanted to settle in Hantun.

was really forced by his mother to have no choice, and the old lady didn't talk about any reason for the youngest son to get married.

If it wasn't for the people in the village who forced it, they didn't give the fifty catties of wheat. That's it, and forced him to make an IOU of 50 yuan, saying that it was for the younger son to marry, and the eldest son should redeem it.

Uncle and Grandpa sighed, "I discussed it with the people in the village, but it really can't be done, so let's just settle here, it's just that the life of the second master's family will be more difficult in the future." ”

"It's up to them, if they catch a few pigs and feed them now, they can be fed by the end of the year, and they can live in half a year." My pig is only five months old, and now I have to have one hundred and forty or fifty pounds. Grandma said.

"Also, everything is going well in our village this year, these weeds growing in the river beach are really good to feed the livestock, and the pigs in our team are growing really fast. "Uncle and grandpa are satisfied.

"Uncle, it's raining, isn't it time to plant dustpan willows?"

"Sister, how do you teach this child, you are more thoughtful than adults think. I reminded you well, but my uncle really didn't expect it. Uncle and Grandpa touched Yoyo's head and said.

Grandma glanced at Youyou, "This is taught, I've been worried since I was a child." ”

The rain came and went quickly, and half an hour later, the rain cleared. Outside, the children's shouts were heard: "A rainbow is in the sky, a rainbow is in the sky." ”

I ran to the yard and looked up, and there was a semicircular rainbow hanging high in the eastern sky. The color bands of the rainbow are distinct, with the red one coming out on the outermost, followed by the six colors of orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, which are very eye-catching in the blue sky.

Looking at it with a long novelty, this is the first time in his two lives to see the rainbow with his own eyes, the rainbow was originally a natural phenomenon, but the sky in the future has never appeared, and the children can only watch the simulated rainbow in the science and technology museum.

My uncle and grandmother came out, looked up, and casually said a folk saying: "East rainbow clouds, west rainbow rain, South Hong comes out to sell children, and North Hong comes out to fight with swords." Tomorrow is another sunny day. ”

The second aunt handed Zhiqiang to her, "Mother, I'm going to touch the monkey, you can cook soup and make dinner at home." Zhigang and Zhiyong also followed her out. Take a look at it and hurry up to keep up.

Since grandma began to receive monkeys, my uncle and grandfather's family touched and learned that the monkeys were all sent over, and when they came, they poured them on a large pile, and they didn't weigh or ask for a penny.

It was not yet six o'clock in the afternoon, and the monkeys crawled all over the ground in the village forest, and people bent down to pick them up. Aunt Chaoxia told them that the ground was soft when it rained, and they knew that it was easy for the monkey to be unearthed, so they crawled out early.

The children ran fast, found one and ran back with it, and handed it to their parents. When you step on a small puddle on the ground, you will bring up a splash of water and splash it on the bodies and faces of people nearby, causing a few laughs and curses.
