The boy went out to herd pigs, and suddenly heard a cry coming from the big ravine, he followed the crying, walked closer to see, and the scene in front of him made him stunned.

Once upon a time, there was a 12-year-old child named Xiao Gengzi. Every day, Xiao Gengzi got up early and greedily herded pigs for the large landlord Zhao Million's family. On this day, he went to herd the pigs as usual. Suddenly, a cry was heard from the great ravine.

Kogeko went into the woods and followed the cry to a cave with a chain of clips under the mouth of the hole, with blood and hair on them. It seems that after catching some bobcat beast, it was taken away. The cry came out of the hole, and the little cat went into the hole as soon as she reached the waist, only to see a large beaver lying on the ground, and three kitten cubs lying in its arms.

Xiao Gengzi understood that this was someone who put a chain of clips at the mouth of the cave and killed the male beaver cat, and the female beaver cat was sad and sad, and could not go outside to find food to eat. Therefore, seeing this family is going to starve to death.

Without saying a word, Xiao Gengzi cleaned up all the clips at the mouth of the cave, came to the river, fished dozens of small fish, and then returned to the cave. The kitten saw the fish and ate it excitedly. Since this day, Kogeko will come every day to bring fish to the little tanuki cats.

After more than a month, the large landlord Zhao Million suddenly invited rich officials from all over the world, saying that he had obtained a treasure. Xiao Gengzi hid far behind to see what treasure Zhao Had obtained.

At the banquet, Zhao Million took out a smooth tanuki cat skin in front of everyone and said, "This is a series of clips under the Tanuki Ravine more than a month ago, and I caught an old tanuki cat that was more than three hundred years old.

Zhao Million triumphantly draped the tanuki cat skin on his body and walked around the crowd for everyone to watch.

At this time, an old woman in rags walked in from outside and said loudly, "I heard that the rich lord Zhao has obtained a treasure, and I have also come to join in the fun and congratulate him."

Zhao Million looked at her as a beggar woman, and was very unhappy in her heart, and shouted, "Beat her out for me!" Only to hear the old woman say, "Slow down." Then with a finger of his hand, the tanuki cat skin immediately turned into the skin with steel needles, and the steel needles went straight into Zhao Million's flesh, and Zhao Million cried out in pain, and after a while he was out of breath. Looking at the old woman again, with a finger of her hand, the tanuki cat skin changed back to its original form and flew into the old woman's hand, and the old woman disappeared in a flash.

The next day, Xiao Gengzi still came to the cave to deliver fish to the kittens, but the old cat and the kittens were all gone. After Zhao Million's death, his son took charge of the family business, and Xiao Gengzi continued to work for his family for a long time, but from a pig to a cow.

More than ten years passed, and on this day, when Xiao Gengzi was herding cattle, a calf was picked up by the wolf. After returning home in the evening, the landlord was furious and forced Xiao Gengzi to go up the mountain to shoot the wolves to death, and pulled the wolves back to see him.

Xiao Gengzi had to take a bow and arrow and walked into the deep mountains and old forests. Suddenly, in the distance, there was a wolf cry. Immediately after, a pair of green lights surrounded him. He knew he had encountered wolves, so he shot one arrow after another. Shoot one and come up one after another, and in a few moments, the little gun's arrow ran out, and the leading wolf screamed and led the wolves to pounce on it.

At the moment of crisis, the red light in the forest flashed, and the leading wolf fell to the ground and died, and the wolves immediately scattered in fright and fled.

Xiao Gengzi was wondering, only to see a handsome young man walk up to him and say, "Brother Gengzi, we have known each other for a long time, but I know you, you don't know me." I'll take you to our house!" ”

Xiao Gengzi was fascinated, and it was already the middle of the night after he arrived home with the young man. The next morning, The Little Gunzi woke up and saw that the house was in a large mountain pass with a large inlet in front of it. Boats on the water are netting. At this time, a small boat rowed over, and there were two beautiful girls on the boat, the girl rowing in the back was wearing a green dress, and the girl who was swinging her fishing rod in front of her was wearing a red dress. Just when Xiao Gengzi was stunned, the voice of the young man came from behind him, "Brother Gengzi, my mother saw that you were coming." ”

Xiao Gengzi looked back and saw an old woman standing in front of him. Xiao Gengzi was shocked, wasn't she just the old woman who stabbed Zhao Million to death! The old woman smiled and said, "Young man, you have been very kind to our whole family, and today I will repay you." After saying this, she called the girl in red on the boat to get off the boat and said to her, "Xiao Yingzi, from today onwards, I will marry you to Xiao Gengzi as a daughter-in-law." Xiao Yingzi lowered her head and blushed shyly.

The old lady said, "However, our family is transformed by a tanuki cat on the mountain, and you are a mortal." If you want to live a good life with my daughter for a long time, you must go through a painful ordeal to be reborn. Either you become our cat clan, or Xiao Ying Zi becomes a human! ”

Xiao Ying Zi is very envious of life in the world, and she is determined to become a human being. They came to a spooky cave and walked into the cave hand in hand. Suddenly, a fiery fire surrounded Xiao Yingzi. Xiao Yingzi rolled on the ground in pain. Xiao Gengzi was very distressed, and he shouted: "Little Sister Ying, don't burn it, or let me burn it into a cat!"

"Leave me alone, go ahead, and if you talk to me again, I'll be dead!"

Xiao Gengzi had no choice but to go to the cave with tears in her eyes. As I walked, I saw a steaming pool in front of me. Suddenly, he saw that Xiao Yingzi was burned to darkness, and rushed over, plunging into the hot pool, and Xiao Yingzi was so hot that she was rolling in the pool.

Xiao Gengzi fell to his knees in pain, "Daisenna! You spared her! Why not burn me with hot water! Xiao Yingzi cried out in pain in the pool, "Brother Gengzi, you go fast and wait for me in front." ”

Xiao Gengzi had no choice but to move forward. At this time, an old demon woman appeared in front of her, and she sneered and said, "Young man, if you want to marry Xiao Yingzi, you must walk through this poisonous snake array." If you can walk past it, you can get married."

Xiao Gengzi looked forward and saw a large piece of poisonous snake spitting out a letter and crawling towards him. Xiao Gengzi closed her eyes and walked into the poisonous snake array step by step, and these poisonous snakes all wrapped around him.

Suddenly, he heard a voice in front of him shouting at him: "Brother More Son!" When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Yingzi standing in front of him beautifully waiting for him.

Since then, they have formed a small couple and lived a happy life by fishing by the river.
