It is precisely because of the legend of the mountain mother-in-law that no one in the village dares to touch this mother-in-law temple.

I don't know how the incense used to be in the mother-in-law temple, but today's incense has not been since the village chief can remember, and it has long been cut off.

Later, just after the Spring Festival after the widow's sacrifice to the mountain, an old lady came to the village and lived in this mother-in-law temple without saying a word.

The villagers reported the matter to Xiao Yong's daughter-in-law's husband, that is, the village chief, and the village chief went to chase the old lady, but the old lady was very stubborn and just didn't leave.

The village chief didn't recruit either, first, because this old lady was very pitiful, she was not young, but she was still wandering, and living in a broken temple would not have much impact on the village. Again, this old lady is indeed a little bit of a problem, and she insists that this is her home, and if she is just taken away, it is not strange that she will freeze to death outside in the cold winter.

So the village chief softened his heart and left her.

When the people in the village saw that the village chief had made a decision, they didn't say anything more.

But this stay, all of a sudden left a big problem, this old lady didn't know what crazy to smoke, before the beginning of spring that year, the broken temple was repaired, at least a lot cleaner, still leaking wind and rain, but also with the previous crumbling dilapidated appearance has been improved.

I thought that this old lady was clean by nature, in order to live a stable life, but I didn't expect that after the spring, the old lady suddenly said that she was the incarnation of the mountain mother-in-law, and she came to this village specifically to help the villagers, and thanked them for fulfilling the agreement of the year for generations.

This is a bit frightening, the village chief specially took people to find out, to see who told the old lady about the mother-in-law temple, but there was no clue after checking, but the statement of the incarnation of the mountain mother-in-law was confirmed.

The reason is that a little girl in the village is sick for some reason, and she is unconscious with a fever, and her mouth is full of nonsense.

Just when everyone was at a loss, thinking that this girl would definitely not survive, the old lady appeared, and as soon as she entered the door of the family, she began to scold, the male owner of the house was already on fire, and the old lady scolded as soon as she entered the hospital, which made him even more angry, and picked up the shovel in the corner of the wall to take out the old lady.

Fortunately, the village chief was at his house that day and hurriedly stopped him, because the village chief heard the old lady scolding not from this family, but from another person.

The old lady scolded very fiercely, and it sounded like something she fell in love with this little girl and wanted to be taken in as a daughter-in-law. The previous lottery was Xiao Yong's sister Xiaoying, and she didn't send it later, so this one who was going to be accepted as a daughter-in-law was definitely not the mountain king.

The old lady stood in the courtyard and cursed in all directions, and after about half an hour, suddenly the voice of the little girl and her mother came from inside the house, exclaiming that the fever had subsided.

The village chief and the man looked at each other, and they both felt that this matter must have something to do with the old lady, and they would definitely not be able to escape, so they let the old lady into the house.

The old lady was not polite, and when she entered the house, she scooped half a scoop of cold water from the water tank, and then sprayed it at each of the four corners of the house, and poured the rest of the cold water down the window into the courtyard.

As soon as the cold water hit the ground, a whirlwind rose in the yard, and began to swirl around the cold water, and the people in the house, except for the little girl who was lying on the kang and was a little unconscious, all saw this vision, and they were all shocked as if they were something.

The old lady sat cross-legged on the kang and looked coldly at the whirlwind, and saw that the whirlwind had been circling for a long time, as if she was extremely reluctant, and slowly moved towards the southwest corner of the courtyard, which was the pigsty of this family.

After the whirlwind swirled into the pigsty and disappeared, the old lady also sneered, and turned around and said a word to the male owner of the family, asking him to send the black pig with defective front hooves in the pigsty to the front of the mother-in-law's temple to be slaughtered, and then give a pot of pig's blood to the mountain mother-in-law, and the rest of the water and meat were divided among the people in the village.

This surprised the man of the family, and even the village chief was stunned, but they thought differently.

The head of the family thought that the old lady didn't go to see the pigsty after entering the hospital, how did he know that his family had a black pig with a problem with its front hooves? Could it be that this old lady has stepped on it a long time ago?

The village chief doesn't have such a villain's heart, he thinks more reliable, this old lady does have Taoism, first entered the hospital and scolded, after scolding, this little girl miraculously got rid of the fever. And after entering the house, the posture looks like it will be something, the most amazing thing is that the scoop of cold water, can actually splash a whirlwind, and also know that people's pig front legs are sick, it seems that this old lady boasting that she is the incarnation of the mountain mother-in-law is not very unreasonable, no matter what you say, people do know something!

After the old lady finished speaking, she glanced at the little girl lying on the kang, grinned, and said a word in the ear of the little girl, the little girl was originally confused, and when she heard this, she immediately "giggled" and laughed, turned over, and then fell asleep, and her breathing was immediately stable.

The little girl's family originally wanted to prepare for the future, but they didn't expect that there would be a miracle, treating the old lady as a benefactor, saying that they would leave the old lady for a meal, and the old lady was also strong, and she didn't stay if she lived or died, and kept saying that she was repaying her kindness.

In the end, I couldn't help it, so I had to go with the old lady.

But when the old lady was about to go out, she left a sentence, isn't it better to be a pig than a girl who has chosen a concubine for the king of the mountain?

After saying that, he left, leaving the confused people.

Except for the man of the family, no one understood what this meant.

The village chief looked at the man and asked him what was going on.

This made the man tell the truth, saying that since the girl in his family is all right, what kind of pig did he slaughter? The New Year's pigs have been killed, this black pig is ready to be slaughtered in the coming year, and it will be killed now, so what will be slaughtered during the New Year? And I haven't seen this old lady give her daughter any medicine or anything, and he can't say that the old lady cured his daughter, right?

Even if it is, then she said that she is here to repay her kindness, why is she hacking a pig in his house? And he has to give it to the whole village, and his family's living conditions are average, why is there no one in the village to give him a share of pork? So in a word, this pig is reluctant to be slaughtered. If it really doesn't work, then give the old lady a chicken.

This nonsense made the village chief angry, and he flicked his sleeves and didn't care. The girl in his family is entrusted to the wrong person, and she is not even worth a pig!

As I said before, for generations, the life of the girl is actually that of the king of the mountain, and if she is lucky to live, she will marry someone else's family, so this girl's life is not as good as a pig, and there is really nothing to say in this village.

In this way, the black pig survived, and the man didn't do anything desperately, simmered a pot of yellow rice, scooped a big bowl of meat oil, and carried half a chicken with no arms and legs, and sent it to the old lady in the mother-in-law's temple.

The old lady looked at the things sent by the man, and said to him, I can't protect you, if you have something to do in the future, go north, please don't come to beg me.

These words made the man in that family very dissatisfied, and he said that he would send food over with good intentions, but he fell into such an unlucky sentence, which really made him angry.

So he put down what he had brought with him, turned around and left.

I thought it would be over, but within half a month, the village suddenly got an infectious disease, and everyone felt tired and had no strength at first. Seeing that the spring ploughing is coming, I can't help but feel a little anxious. The ground has not yet been ploughed, and there is a lot of work to be done, and it would be a bad thing if you fall ill and delay the crops.

But instead of seeing a good idea, this disease became more serious. The whole village, regardless of men, women and children, felt that they did not know that they were hungry or cold, and they could not wake up. What's even more terrifying is that everyone's body stinks like rotten dung.

The village chief panicked at this time, this shouldn't be a plague, right?

Could it be that there is a problem with the sacrificial mountain again? No, if something happened to the mountain, it should have happened a long time ago. How did this start to show its power?

The village chief suddenly remembered the old lady in the mother-in-law's temple, and quickly took down the hare and pheasant hanging in the yard, called a few people who could still move, and went to the mother-in-law temple in the mountain col together.

The old lady seemed to see their intentions, smiled and scooped out half a spoonful of yellow rice with a broken spoon, and told the five village chiefs to let them eat the half spoonful of yellow rice.

The village chief said to the old lady with a shy face, can you give a little more, just this half a spoon, to say something unpleasant, not enough for him to eat in one bite, how can these five people be divided?

The old lady smiled and asked them to taste it first, and then talk about it after eating.

A few people took a small bite of each person, and the last one grabbed the bottom of a spoon, licked the tears of greed, and suddenly felt warm in the stomach, and the stomach that was so hungry just now was full and full, but a new problem came, thirst! They themselves couldn't remember how many days they hadn't drunk water, and they all started to get thirsty.

There was a person standing at the gate of the temple who was thirsty, and he was embarrassed to ask his mother-in-law for water, because the village well in this temple was far away, and it was really not easy for the old lady to fetch water, but then again, he had never seen the old lady too much water, so he took it for granted that the old lady's water was either rain or snow, so he turned his head and wanted to go out and take a few mouthfuls of snow to eat.

Just as he was about to go out, the old lady stopped him and told him that there was a plague in the snow and that he could not eat it. It doesn't matter if you're thirsty, the chicken soup will be good right away!

And chicken broth? The village chief looked at each other, this old lady has a good appetite, the village is sick, she is still in the mood to stew yellow rice and boil chicken soup?

But whether she has this leisure is no longer in the consideration of the village chief, now they want to taste the chicken soup quickly, the villager who was going to go out to eat a few mouthfuls of snow heard that there was a plague in the snow, and did not dare to step out, and wondered in his heart, why not discuss with this old lady and let her whole family come to serve her? Although the conditions are far worse than at home, at least it is safe!

When the old lady brought out the chicken soup, several people's throats were about to smoke, not because the old lady was too slow, but because they were too thirsty.

This chicken soup is not as squirry as the previous yellow rice, a big bowl for one person, although the bowl looks black and does not know what it has been loaded before, maybe it is the temple offerings of the few "old antiques" who don't know how many years but now who cares about that, a few sips drank the chicken soup, the old lady also smiled and told them that the plague has not yet occurred, and in a few days, as soon as the plague occurs, the whole village will be unlucky.

Before they showed their prestige, the old lady asked the five of them to carry a black enamel jar with half a jar of yellow rice and a large pot of steaming chicken soup, and let them carry it together and share it among the villagers from house to house.

The villagers who followed the village chief were immediately moved, this mother-in-law is too kind, her rations are not rich, and she doesn't know where to pick up the yellow rice, and she doesn't know where to pick up the chickens, all of them are distributed to the villagers, and even the pot is let go, so what does she eat?

At the moment, she said that she also has chickens and yellow rice at home, so she doesn't need her mother-in-law's, she eats them openly, and when she goes back, she cures the villagers, and tomorrow morning, she will carry a bag of millet to the old lady.

The old lady smiled like something, and hurriedly waved her hand, saying that your own food is useless, and only the things of this mountain mother-in-law temple can cure the plague!

As soon as he heard this, the villager had no choice but to promise his mother-in-law that early tomorrow morning, millet would be delivered, and by the way, he would carry the pork at home for his mother-in-law, so that her mother-in-law could eat and drink well.

The old lady smiled and shook her head, and told them that there was no need to send anything to this temple, she was not short of food and drink, and she did this to repay her kindness.

There is one thing that must be let them know, that is, this rice and soup can be given to whoever eats it, that is, they are not allowed to give it to the eldest son of the old Han family, and give it to him, then this rice and soup will not be easy to use.

When the village chief heard this, his heart suddenly turned over, and he asked the old lady tentatively, was the plague caused by the eldest son of the old Han family who did not kill the pig and annoyed his mother-in-law and the old man of the mountain?

The old lady waved her hand and said to the village chief, has the mountain king ever blamed the whole village for something else?

The village chief shook his head and said no.

The old lady said, what about me?

The village chief was a little embarrassed, and even more so.

The old lady said that this incident has nothing to do with her and the king of the mountain, but there is a monster in the village, and the demon made by this monster has made the mother-in-law give a bad thing, and it is not angry in its heart, so it has fallen into the plague, and wants to vent this grievance on the villagers, and wants to give the king of the mountain a salary.

It is said that this monster died like this, and the mountain mother-in-law would never let it go, but the eldest son of the old Han family did not do things authentically, and the village chief knew this matter in his heart but did not stand up, so the whole village suffered a little, and he thought that he was making amends to his mother-in-law......
