Chapter Thirty-Five: The Cries of Wildcat Ridge

In the Great Chu State, because there are many Hubo, the people are deeply affected by the flood, the legend of the evil dragon abounds, there are many versions, and the evil dragon in Fuqiu Mountain is only one of the insignificant.

And Liu Yi's biography can be called a name for the dragon clan, which is refreshing.

The story of Liu Yi's biography is about the scholar Liu Yi who rushed to pass the exam, returned to Jingyang, and met a shepherdess girl with tears on her face.

Seeing this, Liu Yi was very sympathetic, so he stepped forward to inquire and learned that the woman was the youngest daughter of the Dragon King of Dongting, married to Jingyang Jun, and was brutally abused by him.

The scholar felt pity for the fragrance and the jade, and offered to help the dragon girl escape from Jingyang.

The dragon girl shook her head and said, "You and I can't escape. ”

The scholar asked what could be done? The dragon girl plucked a jade basket from her head and handed it to Liu Shengdao: "Xianggong went to the Jun Mountain of Dongting Lake, there is an ancient well, and there is an orange tree next to the well. ”

Liu Xianggong was entrusted by the dragon maiden, rushed to Junshan, found the orange well, knocked three times on the orange tree by the well, and the sea patrol god who guarded the door took him into the dragon palace.

When Liu Yi saw Long Jun, he said that the Dragon Girl was miserable. Long Jun's younger brother Qian Tangjun was furious, turned into a hundred zhang red dragon, went to Jingyang, destroyed Jingyang Jun, and took back the dragon girl.

Later, after several twists and turns, the dragon king recruited Liu Yi as his son-in-law, and everyone was happy.

This story, although it does not explicitly overturn the case for the "evil dragon" under Fuqiu Mountain, but it also clearly tells everyone that Dongting Lake has a dragon king, and it is also a place where there is a king's law.

It's just a small evil dragon, and the Dragon King of Dongting Lake can easily handle it, and he can use those great gods to get mice?

Through this story, a discerning person can know at a glance that the "evil dragon" at the foot of Fuqiu Mountain must have been wronged, and I don't know which god she offended to end up like this! But who is bold enough to dare to cry out for her?

It seems that if Fuqiu Mountain does not collapse and is not split, the reputation of this evil dragon will be borne to the end!

On the Wildcat Ridge at the entrance of the Dashui Cave, in addition to pine trees and bamboo, on the ground, there is also a thick layer of fern grass. On the belly of the wild cat, there is a flat and fertile paddy field, forming a small village called Hujiawan, which is inhabited by Hu family people.

In Hujiawan, there is a story of a wild cat crying at night. If a child doesn't sleep well, the adult will say, "The wild cat is crying, and if you make any more trouble, the wild cat will come and eat you!" to scare the child, and the child will sleep obediently.

Regarding this rumor, there is a scholar named Hu Hai in Hujiawan who wants to deny it.

He didn't sleep all night, listening carefully to the movement of Wildcat Ridge, who knew that when he heard this, he sat down on the cry of Wildcat Ridge!

Even if there was no crying in this Wildcat Ridge, in the silent night, the mountain wind blew through the woods, making all kinds of strange sounds, Hu Hai was sleepy and tired, and in a daze, it was normal to hear the cry.

Although Hu Hai is corrupt and old-fashioned, he is the most serious, never tells lies, does not spread rumors, and is the only talent in the village, and belongs to the type of person with head and face in the village.

Hu Hai came out to prove that there was indeed a night cry in Wildcat Ridge. Suddenly, the effect of Wildcat Ridge's crying to stop children's night cries was a little better.

Hu Hai is already a family, the lady in the family is called Li Maixiang, although she is not beautiful, but she has a good appearance and a well-proportioned figure, which belongs to the very attractive kind, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it!

What's even more rare is that he, a lady, is knowledgeable, ingenious, smart and capable, filial to his parents, and he didn't say anything.

The fly in the ointment is that they have been married for more than two years, and the lady has not been happy, which puts a lot of pressure on the young couple.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law are very concerned about holding their grandchildren, and they use various reasons to prevaricate, but they can't stand it.

At that time, if you can't conceive a child, others won't think that you can't conceive if you are not in good health, that is to rise to the height of family style and bad character. A son cannot leave offspring, and even his parents are the targets of criticism from others.

Those who have no offspring are called "truncated generations" here, and they are all people with their tails between their legs in the village, and they are often bullied by the villagers.

Villagers think that it is normal for people to bully "interception" people, and it is precisely because they themselves have not done good deeds that no offspring are born.

If you bully him, you are helping him alleviate his sinful karma! If his sinful karma is lighter, he may even give birth to offspring.

Therefore, the "interception" of the family, the bullied not only can not be angry, but also thank others, the "interception" of the family's property is equivalent to the public property of the clan, because there is no heir, anyone can pick up some and take it home, enjoy it with peace of mind!

If a wealthy family does not leave an heir, it will slowly fall into ruin. There are two reasons for this: the first is that he has no motivation to save his family business, and the second is the blatant encroachment of the clansmen.

In the seven rules of divorce, the inability to have children is the main hard indicator. Confucianism also has "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great." "That's it. Therefore, if after five years, if Li Maixiang can't get pregnant, she will be abandoned and returned to her parents' house according to the custom. If the in-laws don't let go, it's useless for the little couple to have the best relationship.

Hu Haixiao and his wife begged for immortals and worshiped Buddha, but there was no movement. Asking for immortals and worshipping the Buddha is becoming more and more frequent, and the requirements are getting lower and lower, from the beginning to be a beautiful and smart son, to now as long as he is a child, but the immortal Buddha seems to be too busy, and there is still no movement.

The younger couple were afraid of going home, afraid of their parents' expectant eyes, afraid of their sister-in-law's cold words, and even more afraid of their parents' proposal to divorce their wives.

Hu Hai's parents have two sons, the eldest son Hu Peng has been married for a long time and already has a son and a daughter, but he is not afraid of becoming a desperate head. But the eldest grandson is more than six years old, and he looks like a tiger, but he doesn't like to read.

The eldest son is an ordinary farmer, while the younger son is a scholar with a head and a face, and he is famous for his talents, which is the pride of his parents, so he naturally hopes that the younger son can have more children and more blessings.

As the saying goes: "A wife is honored by her husband, and a mother is valued by her son." ”

At home, Hu Hai's brother and sister-in-law have long been dissatisfied with their parents' preference for their youngest son and daughter-in-law, but who makes themselves inferior to their younger brother can only be stuffy in their hearts.

Especially Hu Hai's sister-in-law, she was angry. Whether it is at home or in the village, this brother and daughter-in-law have crushed her. Now that my brother-in-law has not given birth yet, it is my turn to raise my eyebrows.

Today is the day of reunion at her mother-in-law's house, she deliberately took a hen that does not lay eggs to honor her in-laws, so that she can squeeze her brother and daughter-in-law with words and vent the resentment in her heart!

When I entered the house, I saw my brother-in-law helping my mother-in-law pick vegetables, and my sister-in-law handed the chicken to my mother-in-law and said, "This hen has been raised for more than a year, and it looks very good. ”

As soon as she heard this, her brother-in-law's face turned white, and she got up and walked to the back mountain. The whole family's face is not good-looking, only the sister-in-law is still complacent.
