In the past, there was a family surnamed Zhao who lived in the mountains, they farmed for generations, and their ancestors worked diligently for generations, and when they arrived at Zhao Feng's generation, they accumulated some family business, and their lives were also enjoyable, but the good times did not last long, and soon after Zhao Feng's third child was born, Zhao Feng died of illness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Zhao Feng's wife Li Cuilian and three children are left in the family.

Due to the family business accumulated by the family, the mother and son live a decent life. Someone persuaded Li Cuilian to remarry, but looking at the three lovely children, Li Cuilian dispelled that idea, and she was determined to raise the three children well by her own efforts. Watching the children grow up day by day, they are smarter and cuter than the other, Li Cuilian sees it in her eyes and is happy in her heart, she feels that for the sake of the child, even if she suffers more and is tired, she is willing.

One day, Li Cuilian wanted to go back to her parents' house, so she called her three children to give advice, and then went on the road. In the evening, the three children had an early meal, as their mother had said, and when it was dark, they closed the door and stayed in the house. At this time, the younger sister Zhao Li asked her brother: "Brother, why don't we go outside to play?" Zhao Qian looked at his sister and replied, "We live in the mountains, and we are a family in such a big place around, when it gets dark, there will be a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards outside, and they can eat children", Zhao Li was very scared after listening to her brother's words, and hurriedly asked "Is the mother in danger", and the second Zhao Kun answered, "Didn't the mother say, she won't go home today, and she will go home tomorrow." As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and Zhao Li immediately ran towards her eldest brother in fright. Zhao Qian patted the little sister's head and asked calmly, "Who?", the mother's voice came from outside the door, "Qian'er, I am your mother, I'm back, open the door quickly", Zhao Li heard that her mother was back, and immediately happily wanted to open the door, at this time Zhao Gan grabbed the little sister and asked outside the door: "Mother, didn't you say that you won't come back tonight, why are you back again?", but I heard the door answer: "Qian'er, you are so careful, I am very happy, I am because I miss you very much, and I can rest assured that you will come back." The second child asked again, "Mother, what are you wearing?" and replied outside the door: "The black clothes I am wearing! Have you forgotten?" Zhao Qian and Zhao Kun looked at each other, and then Zhao Qian went over and opened the door.

Seeing her mother, Zhao Li happily ran towards her mother, and Li Cuilian also happily hugged Zhao Li, but her eyes were full of greed when she looked at Zhao Li. At night, Zhao Gan was woken up by the click of eating, and listened carefully, but where did his mother send it, so Zhao Gan asked, "Mother, what are you eating?", "I went to your grandmother's house and brought some dried fruits to eat", "Mother, why don't you give us food", Zhao Gan complained in a dissatisfied voice. "This dried fruit is too hard, it's not good for your teeth," Li Cuilian whispered. "Mother, it's okay, you give us some", seeing Zhao Gan's insistence, Li Cuilian touched the dried fruit from her pocket and handed it to Zhao Gan, Zhao Gan took the dried fruit and planned to eat it, but the mobile phone had a strange feeling, through the moonlight outside the window, he was surprised, it turned out that he was holding a finger in his hand, he was so frightened that he almost shouted, but his intuition told him that he couldn't shout. Holding back his fear, he took his finger closer and saw that it was a scarred little finger, which was his mother's finger, and he knew it all too well. Listening to the sound of clicking in his ears from time to time, Zhao Qian was extremely sad, he was smart, and he knew that his real mother had been killed. Since childhood, his mother has told them stories about goblins eating people, and he understands that it may be goblins who will sleep with them. He couldn't help but burst into tears, sad and couldn't help himself, at this time, Li Cuilian heard Zhao Gan's abnormal movement, so she asked, "Qian'er, what's wrong with you?", "Mother, this dried fruit is delicious, but it's too hard, so I made a sound", Zhao Gan replied in a low voice. Saying this, Zhao Qian was thinking of a way to get out in his heart.

Thinking like this, Zhao Qian quietly pushed his younger brother who was sleeping beside him, and Zhao Kun woke up lazily. Zhao Qian said, "Brother, I want to go to the toilet, can you go with me?", after speaking, he also squeezed Zhao Kun's hand vigorously, although Zhao Kun's eyes were full of doubts, but he also felt that his brother must have something to say to himself, so he said, "I also want to go to the toilet." After getting dressed, lighting a torch and handing it to his younger brother, Zhao Qian said to his mother, "My little sister also has the habit of going to the toilet at night, so let's take her with us." "Then how can I do it, I don't worry about you going, I'll accompany you", Li Cuilian hurriedly said. "Mother, you are also tired today, just have a good rest, let's go" Zhao Qian said and picked up his sister and left. Seeing this, Li Cuilian grabbed Zhao Gan's arm and said, "Then how can it be done, it's so dark outside, what if there is danger?", Zhao Qian thought for a while and said, "Then let's find a rope to tie us up, you pull the rope, if we go out and encounter danger, we will pull the rope, and then you come out to save us" After speaking, Zhao Kun found the rope, tied one end to the three of them, and handed the other end to his mother. Li Cuilian saw that the matter had come to this, so she nodded and agreed.

Out of the door, Zhao Qian took his younger brother and sister straight to the big tree at the edge of the courtyard, and then woke up his sister who was sleeping in his arms, and then told them the news that his mother had been killed. Looking at the surprised and uneasy expressions of his younger siblings, Zhao Qian said, what she eats is not dried fruits at all but our mother, and also, it is impossible for our mother to let us go out to the toilet at night, in the past, we all had our own urinals. After listening to Zhao Gan's words, Zhao Li cried all of a sudden, Zhao Gan quickly covered her mouth, Zhao Kun was also very sad, but he was older after all, and he held back his tears and said, "Then what should we do now?", "You go and catch the old hen of our family" Zhao Gan said to his younger brother while comforting his sister who was still crying.

After Zhao Kun caught the hen, Zhao Qian untied the rope and tied his sister behind his back and climbed the tree neatly, and then gave the rope to his younger brother and asked his younger brother to climb the tree with the hen. When he got to the tree, Zhao Qian tied the rope to the hen, and after a while, the rope that tied the hen tightened, and he almost fell off the tree with Zhao Kun. At this time, Li Cuilian's voice came from inside the house, "Are you okay", Zhao Qian hurriedly responded, "Wait a while", and after that, there was no sound in the house. In this way, after a while, the rope would be pulled in the house, and there would be inquiries, but they were all answered by Zhao Qian's clever response.

Finally waited for the dawn, Zhao Qian and Zhao Kun also breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Li had tears on her face, but she had already fallen asleep in Zhao Gan's arms again. Last night they spent the second half of the night full of sorrow, thinking back on the past, they knew that they could never go back, and overnight they were orphans. They listened to their mother's stories about goblins and goblins, and in the stories the goblins were the most afraid of fire, so they kept the torches in the middle of the night for fear that they would go out. Because this torch will be a straw for them to save their lives, and it will also be a weapon for them to avenge their mother.

It didn't take long, the door creaked open, but saw Li Cuilian's eyes red came out, out of the door, she looked around anxiously, and found that Zhao Gan was on the tree, she was stunned for a moment, and then walked quickly to the tree and asked, "Why did you run up the tree? Come down", Zhao Gan looked at Li Cuilian with a sad face and said, "Mother, last night, somehow, a strange wind suddenly blew us to the tree, and then we couldn't come down, you come up and pick us up", " But the tree is so high, I can't come up" Li Cuilian looked at Zhao Qian and the three of them, her face full of anxiety. "Mother, you hold the rope, we'll pull you up," Zhao Kun said weakly. When Li Cuilian heard this, she was obviously relieved, and then pulled up the rope and tied it to herself. Zhao Gan gave Zhao Kun a look at this time, and then said, "Brother, hurry up and pull your mother up" Looking at his brother, Zhao Kun's face was full of doubts, and he still couldn't accept the fact that his mother had died. But his brother's words and his mother's actions last night made him do what his brother did. Together, they pulled the rope and dragged their mother to the tree, and they were about to come up, when suddenly they let go and threw away the rope, and with a bang, their mother fell heavily to the ground, and Zhao Qian screamed at his mother, and the oil lamp that he brought from the house last night for lighting also "accidentally" fell on his mother. It's too late, it's fast, all of a sudden Li Cuilian has a raging fire, Li Cuilian also let out a scream, the two brothers looked at the tumbling mother, and also clenched their fists tightly, after a while, they saw a fox rolling in the fire, at this time the two brothers also breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, they were also afraid that it was their mother who was burning the fire below.

The fire was blazing, and Zhao Li in Zhao Gan's arms didn't know when she woke up, and at this time she also forgot her fear, and looked intently at the burning and tumbling fox below. After a while, there was no more movement in the fire. After waiting again, seeing that there was really no response, Zhao Gan handed his sister to his younger brother, slowly climbed down the tree, found a stick next to the fire and flicked it towards the fire, only to see that there was only one finger bone left in the fire. Zhao Qian knew that it was his mother's finger, so he sadly picked up the finger and carefully received it in his arms.

The next day, they packed up their mother's belongings and buried them on the hill behind the house, along with the severed fingers. Later, Zhao Qian became a Taoist priest, slaying demons and guarding the people, Zhao Kun was successful in his studies and won the top prize, and Zhao Li married a rich businessman in the county.
