Chapter 547: Snake Wife
The tiger was afraid that the fish in the bucket would die after a long time, and it would be worthless at that time, so he couldn't wait to go to Jiang Furen to sell the fish.
So, what's going on with the pregnant dog?
It turned out that the official lord refused to admit it when he saw him alive and dead, and his expression did not seem to be lying, so he knew that there was something strange in this.
In order to paralyze the real murderer, he asked the pregnant second dog to perform a double reed, the board hit the ground, and the pregnant second dog screamed, so as to paralyze the real murderer, so as to solve this strange case as soon as possible.
Now that the goal has been achieved and the real culprit has been found, the official master released the pregnant two dogs, and put the pregnant tiger and the pregnant dragon's wife on death row, just waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded.
The rich man Jiang who got the divine fish did not get the king's reward, and the fish that could eat things died for no reason seven days after leaving the well, which may be the reason for the unsuitability of the water and soil. He lost three hundred shells in vain.
Since then, the fish that can swallow things has been regarded as an ominous fetish by the common people, and no one dares to catch it easily.
The fish also has a chance to reproduce, and it is said that it now has a name called "barbed fish", which is a famous local specialty.
As for why it swallows things, no one has been able to solve this mystery.
There was a scholar surnamed Xuanyuan who lived at the foot of the mountain with his old mother. He was very filial, and in order to take care of his old mother, he often served in person.
His mother wanted to eat fresh bamboo shoots in the middle of winter, but he didn't say a word and went to the snowy mountains to dig for bamboo shoots, and sometimes even if he ate wild vegetables, he could give his old mother a good meal.
Later, the old mother was old and her eyes were glazed.
The scholar saw from the book that someone used deer milk to wash the eyes of the elderly, which was very curative, and the book even said that some people put on deer skins and went up the mountain to mix in the deer herd to get milk.
The scholar closed the book, quickly borrowed a deerskin from a neighbor, and put it on one evening and went up the mountain to collect milk.
It is said that after the scholar put on a deerskin, he was no different from a big deer. Seeing the herd of grass and leaves on the mountain, the scholar quietly moved in the direction of the fawn and doe.
When Lu'er saw the scholar's deer-like appearance, he was a little surprised, but he was not alarmed.
When the scholar crawled under the doe to fill the milk, the doe became agitated.
The scholar silently recited: "The deer who is merciful and compassionate, the boy asks for some deer milk, just to be filial to the old mother, please be considerate." ”
I don't know if these words played a role, or if Lu'er finally accepted this strange "deer", it quieted down, and the scholar could take the milk smoothly.
Just as he was about to pick up the milk, the afterglow of the jungle suddenly reflected a dark light, and the scholar looked to the source of the light, and it was an arrow with a bow already attached.
When it was too late, the arrow suddenly shot out, and the scholar subconsciously wanted to dodge, but when he saw the little deer in front of him, he pushed the little deer away violently.
The arrow pierced the scholar's deerskin and pierced his chest. The deer scattered, and the deer milk he had beaten was scattered on the ground, stained with blood.
When he was dying, the scholar thought of his old mother, and he didn't know what she would do alone, so he shed his last tears.
The deer hunter walked in and was terrified to see that he had killed someone. In order to hide people's eyes, he secretly dug a pit, buried the scholar, and fled in a hurry.
But it was said that the old mother of the scholar waited until it was dark and did not see her son come back, so she groped out alone to look for it.
She shouted while searching, until it was completely dark, and suddenly the voice of the scholar came from the jungle: "Mother, why did you run out?" ”
When the old mother heard her son's voice, she was relieved. The son came over, but after a few steps, the old mother burst into tears and her body trembled.
The scholar hurriedly asked, "Mother, why are you crying?"
The old man only cried harder.
When he arrived at the door of the house, the old man stood and cried and said to the scholar, "Go back, don't let your family wait for a long time." ”
The scholar was taken aback when he heard this, and was about to tell the difference, but the old man sighed: "You are not my son, when my son sees me, he will definitely ask me if I am hungry, and then he will carry me home." ”
The scholar couldn't help but feel embarrassed, thinking that the scholar was really filial piety, and no matter how he pretended, he couldn't escape the heart of the old man.
He made a gesture, and then pulled out the deer milk he had prepared.
"Old man, your son-in-law asked me to hand over this thing to you, he has gone to the royal city to join the job, and he is about to return with honor. ”
When the old man heard this, he didn't take it.
She stopped her tears: "Don't lie anymore, my son didn't even want an official before, let alone fame." In this way, he went before me, no wonder he was so distressed before going out. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he cried out three times sadly, "Heart and liver", looked up and fell.
The scholar hurriedly stepped forward to help, and when he sniffed, he was exhausted.
The scholar was very sentimental, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, then turned back into the body of a deer, carried the old man to the place where the scholar was buried, and buried the two together.
Aunt Jiang in a small mountain village lost her husband when she was young, and she raised her son Jiang Qiangzi alone.
Aunt Jiang is often sick in bed when she is old, but what makes her happy is that Qiangzi is very filial.
It was a hot summer night, the whole air was filled with heat, and in the middle of the night, only the lights of Qiangzi's house were still on, and he had not yet fallen asleep.
Hadron pushed open the door of his mother's room, and just as he stepped into the threshold, a foul smell hit Hadron on him. At this time, Aunt Jiang also saw Qiangzi.
"Qiangzi, you're back, you must be very tired when you come back so late today, go wash and rest. Aunt Jiang looked at Qiangzi and smiled.
"Mother, I'm not tired, I don't have any work to do in the mine today, so I did some chores. Qiangzi said and went to Aunt Jiang's side.
"You're pooping on the bed, you need to change the quilt. Qiangzi was about to help Aunt Jiang up, but as soon as her hand was stretched out, Qiangzi grabbed Qiangzi's hand and shook her head.
"Qiangzi, forget it, I don't do it once or twice, every time I pull on the bed, I have to change it, I'm used to it, it's okay. Aunt Jiang rejected Qiangzi, in fact, Qiangzi also understood in her heart that her mother felt troublesome Qiangzi.
"How can that work, Yun Dazhuang's mother from the village next door was lying on the bed, Yun Dazhuang ignored it, and then the bones were exposed, I don't want my mother to be like this. Qiangzi said very resolutely, and Aunt Jiang was not easy to refuse, she watched Qiangzi's eyes moisten, and Qiangzi slowly moved her mother away.
Qiangzi looked at the puddle of yellow feces on the sheets, stunned, he lifted his mother with one hand, grabbed the quilt with the other, and the feces slowly flowed into Qiangzi's hands, Qiangzi didn't care so much, he only thought about changing a clean sheet for his mother, and Aunt Jiang saw all this in her eyes.
"Qiangzi, this has a handkerchief, wrap your hands up, it's too dirty. Find something to plug your nose, I feel stinky, don't force it. Aunt Jiang said and handed the handkerchief to Qiangzi.
"It doesn't stink, you did the same to me when you were a child, you don't think it stinks, and of course I don't. Qiangzi looked at his mother and smiled.
"It's hard for you, when I'm dead, it's fine. Aunt Jiang looked at Qiangzi and tears flowed down her eyes.
"What you say, it's good that you're alive, I'm not too troublesome, and it's my duty to take care of you. Qiangzi said and put away Aunt Jiang's dirty quilt.
"Mother, I'll go out and wash the quilt, you go to bed early, don't wait for me. ”
"Qiangzi, rest early today, or ...... tomorrow" Before Aunt Jiang's words were finished, Qiangzi had already walked out of the door.
It was pitch black outside, and he couldn't see his fingers, but fortunately Qiangzi was familiar with the roads in the village.
This night, it was very late at night, and Qiangzi returned home, and Aunt Jiang was already asleep.
"Mother, are you asleep?" Qiangzi screamed quietly, Aunt Jiang did not react, it seemed that she was sleeping very dead, Qiangzi looked at her and smiled.
"Qiangzi, are you back?" Aunt Jiang suddenly had a voice, Qiangzi was startled, and the laundry basin fell to the ground with a "bang".
Aunt Jiang's eyes widened, looking at Qiangzi, she screamed "ah" in fright, and the whole person was stupid.
Aunt Jiang looked at the lower half of the strong son's body as a snake and the upper body as a human body.
"You...... You are...... What ...... something" Aunt Jiang swallowed, her lips trembling a little in fright.
"I... I...... It's ......" Qiangzi also looked flustered, and he didn't say it for a long time, and Qiangzi slowly crawled towards Aunt Jiang.
"Don't come here, you monster ......" Lady Delusion hugged the futon tightly, her eyes filled with panic.
"Mother......" Qiangzi called Aunt Jiang, tears fell, Qiangzi was half a snake and half human, and climbed out of the window, Qiangzi crawled slowly, but his head kept looking at Aunt Jiang.
Aunt Jiang looked at the shadow of the strong son who disappeared into the darkness, her heart was empty, and she seemed to be a little reluctant at this time, but she couldn't speak.
