The house dragon is not a dragon, most of them are long fairies, lying in the room to rest, and luck is like a long rainbow.

The houses of a family in the countryside are different from the communities living in the city today, one is a home with feelings, and the other is a cold commodity. In the countryside, after living in the house for a long time, there will be some elves who break into the house, these are the so-called Baojia immortals, just like the dust elves in "My Neighbor Totoro". There have been Baojia immortals since ancient times, and they appear around us in various forms, and the house dragon is one of them, that is, snakes.

Snakes are divided into house snakes and wild snakes, the so-called house snakes are called house dragons in many places, and when you see house dragons, you need to ask house dragons to go out, so you have to burn incense and burn paper to ask house dragons to leave, so that everything will be fine. The more prosperous the people and the more harmonious the family, the easier it is to recruit a house dragon to live. If these house dragons leave, it is a sign of the decline of the family. And killing the house dragon will invite annihilation.

In my memory, there are two stories about the house dragon in our village, and at the time of the incident, I was also a member of the crowd of onlookers eating melons.

When I was in elementary school, I often went to his house to play, the reason is very simple, his home is very close to the school, how close is it, and the walk is about 20 meters away. I told the story of my primary school before, the location is not very good, and I often recruit some bad things, and the closest to the school is the second family and his neighbors.

At that time, playing at Xiao Er's house, as long as it was dark, I would go, because after dark, his house always gave me an indescribable strange feeling, coincidentally, at that time, Xiao Er and his neighbor's house often put some ghost movies, because it was close to the school, so it often attracted a lot of primary school students like me. Another thing that made me feel strange was that his house was inlaid with a row of wine bottles on the back wall near the beams, with the bottom of the bottle facing inside and the cap facing outside. Of course, I asked the reason a few times, and I didn't tell me, because I felt quite mysterious, and then I didn't know who I heard it say, and it seemed to have a certain effect of warding off evil spirits and praying for blessings.

Because of the proximity to the school, Xiao Er's family would sell popsicles at the door for a while, and Xiao Er's neighbors would sell them at the door of their house, so there were often a lot of food scraps on the ground nearby. One Saturday afternoon, I was playing late at Xiao Er's house, and when I was about to go home, I suddenly heard someone shouting at the door, and I quickly ran out with Xiao Er. As soon as we went out, we saw a few people around the big stove on the side, and we ran over again, and when we saw that there was a big snake with the thickness of an adult's fist at the mouth of the stove.

The head of the snake is near the fire opening of the stove, and the red snake letter spits out and spit out, as if it is roasting a fire. The snake was really large, nearly three meters long, and it was the largest snake I had ever seen in the wild since I was a child. After a while, there were more than a dozen people gathered, the father of the second child took a fork from home, and several of us children were also holding all kinds of instruments and ready to come forward to catch it.

The serpent noticed that there were more and more people around it, and twisted its body to crawl towards the water outlet under the school wall. Xiao Er's father stuck the snake's tail in a fork, the big snake writhed in pain, and the big snake dancing left and right made the onlookers dare not step forward, I and Xiao Er looked at each other, and immediately decided to go around the school to outflank it. The two of us squeezed through the gap in the big iron gate of the school, and quickly ran to the other side of the water outlet, and saw the big snake swinging its head desperately in the distance, trying to speed up the escape, and just when we were at a loss, the big snake was pulled back again by a force.

It is estimated that the people outside pulled out, and we ran back again, and when we ran to the gate, I heard an exclamation outside, and I subconsciously turned my head, and saw the big snake coming back from the water outlet, and swished to a pile of stones behind the house of the little two. I shouted loudly, and Xiao Er also saw the direction of the snake's escape just now, and immediately turned around and ran back, and I followed closely, followed by a few adults.

Soon, we surrounded the big snake in the pile of rocks again, and several adults with forks and shovels began to pick up the stones to search, and after a while, a snake tail appeared in the stone pile, and the upper body seemed to be still drilling into it, and that direction was the underground of the little second house. Seeing that the big snake was about to escape, the little second father picked up the fork and inserted it into the tail of the big snake, the big snake desperately drilled in, and the stones on the stone pile were also shocked and fell down, the little second father pressed the fork down again, and between the confrontations, a stream of blood splashed out of the stone pile, and the big snake actually broke his tail.

When everyone came forward to get the snake's tail out and look for it again, there was no sign of the snake, and strangely enough, there was no hole to hide, as if it had suddenly disappeared. The four sides of the house were also carefully searched, and still did not find it, until the sky was dark, everyone dispersed, and some old people said that this snake may be the house dragon, and it will be retaliated against if it is injured, and the father of the second child does not care much.

After this happened, I was safe for a long time, and I didn't know that there would be a catastrophe in the dark, first Xiao Er's brother gave birth to a somewhat disabled son, and then Xiao Er had a serious car accident when I joined the army, and almost lost his life, and it was only now that he slowly recovered.

The second story is about a family near the river in the village, when the young and middle-aged people in the village were working in other places, and they all made some money and went home to rebuild the old houses.

The family by the river also wanted to build a new house, and when the house was demolished and the foundation was dug, the first shovel dug out a small gray snake. But it didn't take long for three more to be dug out one after another, and the builders were also surprised, which was really rare, so they approached the owner to discuss the suspension of work for a day, and the owner was also very happy, and immediately stopped the construction and prepared to start construction again the next day.

But for four or five days in a row, small snakes were dug up every day, which made everyone scared, and these workers felt that it was not a good sign, so they didn't want to do it, and the owner had no choice but to agree. After a few days, the owner thought about it, and the house had to be built, so he could only spend money and invite a group of workers to come, and this time the start was relatively smooth, and no snakes were dug up.

On the last day of foundation construction, there was an accident again, and the foundation of the whole house was dug out at the same time, large and small, more than a dozen, the smallest was nearly two meters long, and the owner was completely panicked, and for a while he was angry and wanted to kill all the snakes with a shovel. Some elders in the family immediately stopped the behavior of the homeowner, and said that these were all house dragons, and it was not good to kill them. But the house has been demolished, and if it is not built, there is no place to live.

Many people in the village went to see this, and I went too, and when I stood on the edge of the foundation, I saw a lot of snakes crawling around in the dirt pits, and it was very scary to look at. But I wasn't afraid of snakes, I wanted to jump in and see it up close, my mother saw that I was going to jump in, and immediately picked up a wooden strip and beckoned to me, and I was so frightened that I ran away, and I didn't watch the development of the situation at the scene.

I heard from the adults that this family found a feng shui gentleman to come and see, and after the gentleman checked it, he told the family that the location of the house was a treasure land, and the family had a dragon's lair and a son to gain power. But it is not advisable to build a tall house, at most to build a bungalow, and the fortune will get better and better. The family did not hesitate, and according to the gentleman's wishes, they only built a few bungalows, and before the construction began, the snake in the foundation let it swim.

A few years later, a little boy from this family was admitted to a university in 211, and he also held a special banquet for further education, which also fulfilled the words of Mr. Feng Shui. Once, when I passed by their house, I found that the gate of their house was closed, and the grass inside was very tall, and I heard that they bought a house in the city and the whole family moved to the city to live, so it must have developed very well.

It is said that a family was eating at home, and suddenly a snake fell from the roof on the table, which scared the family to run out quickly, and not long after running out, the roof collapsed, and the family believed that the house dragon specially saved them.

Folklore about snakes:

There is a folk saying that "snakes shed their skin", and it is believed that as long as you see a snake peeling off its skin, it is a bad omen. The folk proverb says, "When you see a snake shedding its skin, it will not die and shed its skin." "Especially in the spring. In the Qinghai region, if a snake is found in the house, it is most taboo to kill it. It is believed that if the snake is killed or not killed, the snake will retaliate, which is not good for the family. So if you find a snake in your home, you should catch it in a jar or put it on a pole and send it to a valley and beg it to hide in a cave and never return to your home.

Due to the mild and humid climate, the southern Fujian region is suitable for all kinds of snakes to breed. If a snake is found in a house, it cannot be killed, and it is believed that the snake was sent by the ancestors to inspect the peace, and that the house in which it enters indicates that the house is safe. If you find several snakes coiled together on the side of the road, you must quickly pull off one of the buttons on your body to show repentance, and then walk away as if you did not see them. It is said that this is snake mating, and the viewer is a great rebel.

When I was driving in the army, if I encountered snakes, rabbits, weasels, hedgehogs and other small animals passing in front of the car, I had to throw a coin, it is said that the elf car was over, and the disaster followed, then I needed to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, this habit I have until now, and I always have coins in the car.

Sometimes the perception ability of animals is indeed much stronger than that of humans, and there is a certain scientific basis for this, and we cannot kill all the so-called feudal superstitions with a stick, and we need to analyze and be in awe at a deep level.
