This is a black fox that is extremely strange, the black fox in the world is rare, not to mention that there is a dark purple hair around the waist, this fox has a name, called the prime minister's jade belt, because the hair on its waist is like the jade belt on the official's robe, it is rumored that this kind of fox is auspicious, who can meet must be said to be a high-ranking official to sit, horses have to ride, fur is hard to find, it is said that the emperor Kublai Khan has such a fox fur, accompanied him to fight in the north and south, Chengxiang was killed, and finally pacified the Central Plains.

The fox laughed, and disaster came. What's more, it was such a black fox, Li Shi was shocked or something, and hurriedly went back to the house with his belly, Lin honestly didn't think about it so much, he always felt that he was taking advantage of it, and he didn't mean to kill his fox cub, when the fox was gone, a pair of eyes stared at the blue and white porcelain bowl on the ground and was reluctant to move it away.

People are poor and short-minded, horses are thin and long-haired, Lin Laoshi doesn't want to take advantage of this fox, but the family is too poor, and he has never seen so much silver, so he will be stunned, ruthless, gritted his teeth, and returned to the house with the bowl.

The two of them were worried, silent, and couldn't sleep, for fear that the two foxes would turn around to find their own bad luck, but until dawn, the two foxes did not appear, and the two of them fell asleep, and after a month of worry, nothing happened, and the two gradually relaxed, with silver, Lin Laoshi bought two more reed hens, and also bought some cotton cloth to sew a few small clothes for the unborn child.

And so it passed, day by day. Li's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it will be the next year in a blink of an eye, but after ten months of pregnancy, the child in the belly has no movement at all, the local old saying goes, the child who stays in the belly for more than half a month is rich, so Li is also complacent for a few days.

But this left day and right day passed, the child in the belly was not in a hurry, there was still no movement, and there was no meaning of giving birth, this time Li was in a hurry, although this was her first child, but whoever gave birth to a child in the village would occasionally go to help, knowing that the child stayed in the belly for too long and was easy to die, so he asked Lin Laoshi to invite someone to come and see, don't have anything wrong.

Lin Laoshi couldn't afford to invite Langzhong, so he found a village to see some minor illnesses of Aunt Sun, this Aunt Sun is over sixty years old, used to see some minor diseases, relying on the recipe handed down by the ancestors, there is food and drink, and he is also kind and charitable, Lin Honest pleased, although he didn't give much money, he still followed with a medicine box, and he paid attention to seeing a doctor. Mother's face can't help but show.

As soon as he touched the pulse again, the pulse was stable, and he knew that the mother and child were safe, so he said to the Li family: "Lin family, the child in your belly is fine, it is normal to give birth a few days earlier and a few days later, don't worry, just raise the fetus with peace of mind." ”

When Aunt Sun said this, Lin Laoshi and Li also breathed a sigh of relief. Since Aunt Sun said that it was okay, let's raise the baby with peace of mind, this raising is another month, and in the blink of an eye, it is July, and there is still no movement until the 14th day of July.

According to legend, every year from the first day of July, the king of Hades ordered the gate of hell to be opened, so that those who suffer all year round and are imprisoned in hell come out of hell and enjoy the blood and food of the world, so people call July the ghost month, this month is considered to be an inauspicious month, neither marry nor move. On July 14, the door of ghosts was wide open. The ownerless and lonely souls of the underworld will flock to the yang world, wandering wherever they can reach in search of something to eat.

There are many taboos on this day, such as not hanging wind chimes at the head of the bed: wind chimes are easy to attract lonely souls, and people with light characters should not go out at night, otherwise they will only ask for trouble. You can't stay up late, you can't sleep with your hair scattered, you have to clean up the Lilisuo, it's best to be cautious in your words and deeds, and on this night, every household has to make offerings in front of their own doors, which is called worship. Since it is just for the lonely ghosts passing by to rest and eat, and pray not to enter their houses to disturb their families, there is no need to provide too rich offerings, usually only to worship five-flavor bowls, cakes, and kueh. Stick a stick of incense on each of the offerings, and pray to the lonely ghosts to enjoy them before continuing on the road.

Lin Laoshi prepared all this at dusk, and went back to the house to talk to his wife, Li looked forward to the birth of the child, and lit a small oil lamp in the house, while making small clothes for the child by the dim light, while talking to Lin Laoshi, after talking for a while, Li felt a pain in his stomach, the child in his belly was a little impatient, and she was uncomfortable, how could this child choose such a child?

As the old saying goes, a child born on July 14 is a ghost doll, and there is no parent in the world who doesn't want his son to be good, of course, Li also hopes that everything is fine with the doll in his belly, so he endured the discomfort and comforted the child in his belly while touching his belly: "Baby, it's been delayed for so many days, you are delaying it for one more day......"

The child in Li's belly has always been peaceful, unlike other people's children who are making trouble in the belly, so both of them guessed that it should be a girl, but it is strange to say, the child who usually doesn't move much, today the movement is particularly big, has been making trouble in the stomach, and the tossing Li is sweating profusely, and knows that if it goes on like this, the child may be born, she is worried in her heart, she feels that this is not good, and there are some expectations, and she can finally see her own doll after more than a year of pregnancy.

At this time, the night was already deep, and the hundreds and dozens of families in the village all turned off the lights early and went to sleep, only Li's stomach became more and more painful, and he moaned in pain, Lin was sweating profusely, but Li was reluctant to let him go to Wenpo, hoping to survive this day, even if he couldn't survive this day, even if he gave birth to this child in vain, his heart would be less awkward.

As the saying goes, life and death have a destiny and wealth are in the sky, since life and death are fixed, how can the Li family delay? It didn't take much effort, the amniotic water broke, Lin Laoshi couldn't sit still anymore, and he didn't care about those taboos, he hurriedly put on his clothes and was about to go to find the stable woman in the village, just pushed the door open, and saw that under his own locust tree, the black fox was lying under the tree, and the two old hens were bitten to death and thrown aside, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was smiling at Lin Laoshi again, and a pair of thief eyes were blood-red and blood-red.

Lin honestly knew that this fox was seeking revenge, and seeing that it hadn't done it yet, it just wanted to wait for the child to be born, and he would ruin the life of his cub, otherwise it would harm its own child. Lin Laoshi's eyes were also red, he squatted down and picked up the short axe placed at the door, and saw that there were hundreds of ghost fires in front of and behind his house, and these ghost fires were bigger than ordinary ghost fires, fluttering around his house, front and back.

Lin was honestly shocked, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know what to do, at this moment, the originally clear sky became cloudy in a blink of an eye, and there was a faint rumbling sound in the sky, and there were bits and pieces of rain falling down, gradually getting bigger and bigger. Accompanied by the sound of rain, there is a small whine...... The sound of crying like a night owl came, and in the rain curtain it was like ten thousand ghosts crying, and there was a trace of white yin qi that was invisible to mortals to the naked eye and gathered towards his yard.

In the midst of the pain, he saw Lin standing at the door stupidly, and his heart was also angry, and he scolded him loudly: "This will not pick up the stable wife, what kind of corpse, do you want to watch me die of pain?" ”

Lin Laoshi was scolded by his mother-in-law like this, but he came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "That black fox is seeking revenge, I can't leave." ”

Li's voice was startled, but then it was covered by the severe pain, and the beads of sweat on the top of her head were dripping like rain, this feeling was like dying, but she still had a little clarity in her heart, and shouted to Lin Laoshi: "You can't get out, hurry up and call someone, and let others help find Wen Po...... Oops...... It hurts me. ”

Huaishu Village is not big, every family lives not too far away, there is a family next to his house, surnamed Zhang, there are no women in the family, only the two of them, they are both strong men, Lin honestly reacted, and wanted to call the people who went home to help, that knew that he turned his head to look, but saw that the surrounding fog was filled, except for such a big place as his yard can also be seen clearly, nothing can be seen.

He hurriedly shouted loudly: "Brother Zhang, my mother-in-law is about to give birth, I can't leave, you help, help me call Wen Po ......" His voice shouted loudly, but he could only hear the echo echoing in the yard, except for his own shouts and the shouts of his mother-in-law, there was no sound, as if the whole world did not exist, and only he was left with such a family.

shouted a few times, Lin Laoshi didn't know if he heard it next door, and he heard his mother-in-law shouting heartbreakingly, and he was distressed and anxious, and he didn't dare to delay, thinking that even if he worked hard today, he had to protect the safety of his mother-in-law and baby, he turned his head and shouted at Li: "If you insist, I will fight with the thief and fox, and I will protect you and the baby without incident." ”

Then he closed the door with his backhand, stomped his feet, pulled out a short axe, stared at his eyes, and shouted at the black fox: "You thief fox, bully my family is poor, you are real, I will fight with you today, give up this life, you don't want to harm my mother-in-law and baby!" ”

He strengthened his courage, raised his short axe, and was about to head under the tree, but as soon as he moved, two dark green ghost fires behind him flickered in front of him, and Lin Laoshi felt that his eyes were stinging like pins and needles, and his whole body was shrouded in two extremely cold dark breaths, and he was frozen stiff in an instant, and he couldn't move anymore.
