Twenty-five years ago, Lao Liu (Liu Lao's father) was a loyal and honest person. At that time, the wind and rain in Guoziling were smooth, and the harvest was bumper year after year, and there were too many rabbits, pheasants and wild boars in Houling to catch them all. So for a while, Guoziling became a paradise.

The family has food and drink, so life is very rich. To what extent is this old Liu Zhonghou? It is said that this old Liu family even raised mice. Lao Liu looked at the rat and felt pitiful, so whenever there was leftover food, or fruit that could not be sold, he would put it in a pot next to the rat hole.

As the saying goes, it's not that a family doesn't enter the door, and Lao Liu's wife is also a Bodhisattva-hearted woman. So the couple often prepared meals for the rat, and in the winter they would get some rags and quilts for the rat in front of the rat's hole.

It's strange to say, this mouse is only one, and it is said that this mouse dares to come out and hang around when there are no outsiders, in front of Lao Liu and his wife. swaggering in and out, it's a shame that Lao Liu didn't have a cat, otherwise something would have happened! And since the rat came, no rat had come in the house, and the rat seemed to understand human speech.

Sometimes, when Lao Liu and his wife talk about the rat in the light, if the rat is also nearby, then when they hear Comrade Liu mention themselves, he will "squeak" twice. Show yourself that you know.

So these two people live in harmony with each other. Within two years, the good news also came, Lao Liu's wife was pregnant, but then Lao Liu's wife had a miscarriage in less than two months.

This can be a big blow to a happy life, but fortunately, Lao Liu and his wife are optimistic and positive. So another year passed, and the old daughter-in-law was pregnant again. This time, Lao Liu Ke has a heart, takes care of his daughter-in-law everywhere, and doesn't let her do the heavier work, this old Liu daughter-in-law is also sensible, and the whole door is not out of the second door and does not step out of the family to raise the fetus at home.

In the spring of the second year, seeing how big Lao Liu's daughter-in-law's belly was, it was estimated that she would give birth in March or April. Seeing that joy was coming, both of them were very happy and laughed all day long.

After dinner that day, Lao Liu hurriedly stood up and rushed to wash the dishes, while his daughter-in-law picked up half a steamed bun and prepared to feed the mice.

When Lao Liu came to see his wife after washing the dishes, Lao Liu's daughter-in-law was already lying on the ground unconscious, and the blood had stained Lao Liu's daughter-in-law's pants red. The rat was anxious on the side, circling around Lao Liu's daughter-in-law.

The result can be imagined, after knowing what happened. The people in the village said that it must be the rat, an ominous thing, that made Lao Liu's daughter-in-law miscarry repeatedly.

After Lao Liu's daughter-in-law's family found out, they ran over to see what caused Lao Liu's daughter-in-law to be like this. After arriving at Lao Liu's house, Lao Liu's daughter-in-law's maiden brother poured a pot of boiling water into it along the mouse hole, and Lao Liu couldn't stop it.

I only heard the sound of "chirping" from inside, and then there was no sound. Since then, the village has begun to spread the story of Lao Liu and the mouse.

Some people say that this mouse is bigger than a cat, and he has half a bowl of rice for a meal, and some people say that this mouse was Lao Liu's enemy in his last life, and he will find Lao Liu to take revenge on him as a mouse in this life, and some people say that it is even more outrageous. said that this mouse was offered as a fairy in Lao Liu's house, and he didn't leave three meals a day, so ah! Eighty percent of this rat has become a sperm.

At that time, I was still a half-old child, and I didn't know much about things, so I listened to the people in the village. However, "Speaking of this, Lao Liu stopped.

"But what?" I was listening to it with great energy, so I hurriedly asked.

Lao Liu continued, "But later, I really got involved. It was the third time that Lao Liu's wife was pregnant, this time Lao Liu's daughter-in-law's mother specially invited half an immortal to come to the house to do it, don't you say that this really works, until the tenth month, the old Liu's daughter-in-law and the child in her belly are safe.

Seeing that the delivery was imminent, Lao Liu simply invited the midwife to live at home, and Lao Liu himself stayed at home all day to watch his daughter-in-law, for fear that there would be any accidents.

It was supposed to be a sunny day, but after lunch, the sky began to turn dark, and at three o'clock the wind began to blow. At this time, Lao Liu's daughter-in-law began to have a stomachache, and it was estimated that she was about to give birth.

It was getting darker and darker, and at five or six o'clock in the evening, it was already dark and I couldn't see anything, and every household was talking about it, and after thinking about it, I contacted Lao Liu's daughter-in-law to give birth to a child again. Lao Liu has had no father, no mother, and no brothers and sisters since he was a child. But at this time, friends who usually have a good relationship still came to inquire about the situation with a lamp.

At seven or eight o'clock, the sky began to lightning. After a while, the torrential rain poured in, and it was leaked down in an instant. The wind was blowing louder and stronger, and the family dogs were barking wildly, like a pre-apocalyptic scene.

At this time, Lao Liu's daughter-in-law was lying on the bed giving birth, and the midwife kept shouting "hard" and "hard" inside, and after a while, the midwife inside ran out and said to Lao Liu anxiously: "Xiao Liu, difficult to give birth!" Then a bolt of lightning lit up the whole room and everyone's faces

Lao Liu opened his mouth wide, but before he could spit out a word, a burst of thunder filled everyone's ears. Then Lao Liu held the midwife's hand hard, and roared hoarsely: "Wu Niang, you have to help me!" I really don't know what to do. After that, Lao Liu burst into tears. Thinking about his lost child and his current wife's situation, Lao Liu can't help but feel sad.

I saw the midwife hurriedly messing inside, and the cries and thunder of Lao Liu's daughter-in-law mixed together to hit the central nerves of all the people present.

"No, this kid doesn't want to come out!" The midwife said anxiously.

"If the child doesn't come out, then don't want it, you must help me keep my daughter-in-law!" Lao Liu almost cried.

So the midwife hurriedly ran in again, only to see that the midwife who had just run in ran out again before she could blink an eye, so she ran and shouted: "Oh no! Oh no! The kid is out of breath! ”

This sentence seemed to be a fire twist that suddenly exploded the nerves of all the people present. Lao Liu hurriedly ran over to see his daughter-in-law.

At this time, there was another thunderstorm, and I saw a black thing running through the lobby, rushing to the back room, and then crashing headlong under the bed of Lao Liu's daughter-in-law. After this collision, Lao Liu's daughter-in-law was resurrected all of a sudden, and then only heard the cry of "wow". Then Liu Lao Er came out, but after Liu Lao Er came out, he immediately scared the people around him half to death.

I saw that the child had a long tail on the back and the face of a mouse. Suddenly people had to pay attention to what was killed under their feet. If you look closely, it turned out to be a big mouse, and you can see that all the hair on the mouse's head is gone, and it is replaced by a scar after burning, which is extremely ugly.

Isn't this the same rat that was raised at home a few years ago? What's going on? Lao Liu muttered in his heart.

At this time, Lao Liu's daughter-in-law actually spoke: "I am the mouse, don't be afraid!" I have no ill intentions, and now I will take it as if I am repaying you for your kindness for several years, but this child, the child" Before she finished speaking, Lao Liu's daughter-in-law was breathing again.

So what's going on? Is this rat good or bad? What happened to Lao Liu's family later?
