Kanto Mountain, three monsters: window paper paste outside, raising a child to hang up, seventeen or eighteen girls with a big cigarette bag. So, why should a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl take a big cigarette bag? There is a magical legend here.

A long time ago, the water of the Songhua River flowed down from the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain and curved to the floating river tobacco production area of Emu County (Jiaohe County). There is a young man named Shi Long who fishes in the drifting river, and he has died since he was a child. When he grew up, his brother and sister-in-law looked down on him and threw him out, giving him only a leaky boat, a few broken nets and a harpoon.

Shi Long rowed the broken boat and went down the river. The next night, he drifted to the foot of a large mountain, and when he came ashore, he found a deep blister in the forest. The water in the bubble is cool and cool, surrounded by mountain flowers and wild grasses, and the scenery is beautiful. Shi Long built a thatched house here and made a home.

One night, Shi Long went to the river to fork two large-billed catfish, and went to the bubble to fetch water to prepare the stewed fish to eat. Suddenly, as soon as he looked up, he found a large black snake several inches long next to the bubble, spitting out a long whisker, sucking a large frog more than two steps away from it.

Shi Long was anxious, he turned around and took the big harpoon, and flew out with a whimper, and it was forked on the snake. The big snake cried out in pain twice, threw away the frog, jumped forward, swept its long tail, and swept the stone dragon into the blister. Shi Long lost consciousness in an instant.

When Shi Long woke up, he saw himself lying in a gorgeous room, next to him stood a kind old man, an old lady and a beautiful girl.

Shi Long sat up and asked, "What is this place?" What about the big snake? The old man told him, "This is the Frog Palace in a big blister, and I am the big frog you saved today." After you were swept into the water by the great snake, the great snake fled with his wounds. When our family saw that you were groggy, they carried you into our water house. ”

The frog king introduced himself to Shi Long, "This is my wife, she is my daughter, named Qing'er." Qing'er blushed and shyly bowed to Shi Long and said, "Thank you Brother Shi for saving my father's life." ”

Shi Long hurried to return the gift. The Frog King's family was very grateful to Shi Long for saving his life, making him a variety of mountain treasures and seafood every day, and using some valuable herbs from the water house to detoxify and heal his wounds. Shi Long's body would be fine in a few days.

One day, Shi Long was idle and sneaked to the front palace to see that the Frog King's family was worried. Shi Long asked busily, "What worries you?" ”

The frog king said, "The big snake you stabbed has now healed its wounds, and has returned to the bubble to devour our frog descendants every day." None of us dared to show up to the water, so we had to stay here all day. ”

Shi Long said, "Don't worry, I'll go out and stab it to death with a harpoon, won't it all be too peaceful!" ”

Qing'er said, "No, Brother Shi, that big snake has three hundred years of cultivation, and you can't fight it." ”

Shi Long said, "If I can't fight, I will also fight, otherwise, I will all be trapped in this water, what should I do?" ”

The next day, Shi Long held a large harpoon and left the Water House Frog Officer. Qing'er was not at ease, and with great courage, secretly followed behind him.

The stone dragon floated out of the water, and sure enough, the big snake was coiled at the water's edge, waiting quietly. When it heard the sound of the water surface, it saw the stone dragon jump out of the water, so it stared at the two eyes and spat out its whiskers, trying to suck the stone dragon into its stomach at once.

Shi Long felt that his body was light, and he involuntarily was sucked into his mouth step by step, and when he was still one step away from the big snake, Shi Long raised his fork and stabbed at the big snake's left eye, and the big snake hurriedly twisted his body to avoid the harpoon, and the big tail swept away, and swept the stone dragon out of a few inches away and fell to the ground. The stone dragon hurriedly got up, and the big snake had jumped in front of his eyes. The stone dragon raised its fork and stabbed, and the big snake swept with its tail. In this way, he was swept five or six times by the great snake in succession. Seeing that Shi Long was gradually losing strength, Qing'er on the surface of the water cried and shouted, "Big Brother Shi, run!" ”

When Shi Long saw that he really couldn't fight the big snake, he had to run desperately to the mountain, and the big snake chased after him.

Shi Long ran across a ridge and a ditch, and he couldn't run at all, at this time, he saw an old man with a yellow beard sitting on the stump in front of him, smoking a large cigarette bag, and there were more than a dozen large yellow tobacco leaves growing around him.

Shi Long shouted busily, "Grandpa run, the big long worm is coming!" ”

The old man said unhurriedly, "Boy, don't be afraid, you stand behind me." ”

Shi Long hid behind the old man and looked at it, and the big snake head was lifting up a foot high, spitting out its whiskers, and was threatening the old man.

The old man inhaled a large cigarette fiercely and sprayed at the big snake, and a thick smoke surrounded the big snake's head, and the big snake immediately lost its prestige. Grandpa sprayed three mouthfuls of smoke in a row. The long body of the great snake gradually softened, and finally, it was wrapped up, and its whole body twisted uncomfortably, and it struggled for a while before it died.

The old man turned back to Shi Long and said, "You are a brave young man, and I gave you this big cigarette bag and these dozen yellow smoke seedlings." When you go back, plant it in front of your house and behind the house, when you are fine, pinch some tobacco leaves, smoke a few sips, the big snake, the small snake are afraid of the smell of oil in this cigarette bag, they will not dare to hurt you again. ”

Shi Long took the cigarette bag and was about to thank him, when the old man flashed away and disappeared. Shi Long hurriedly knelt down and prostrated his head several times. Then he dug out a dozen tobacco seedlings and returned to the small room to plant the tobacco.

At this time, I heard the water in the bubble rattling for a while, followed by the sound of gongs and drums, and a flower palanquin carried Qing'er out of the water. Some of the young men who turned into frogs, the big girl, rushed forward and backward to send Qing'er into Shi Long's small room.

When Shi Long was suspicious, Qing'er replied shyly, "My father and mother see you living alone and miserable, strange and pitiful, let me come and marry you to live a life." ”

Since then, they have lived a happy life here. However, Qing'er is a frog clan, and she is most afraid of snakes. Therefore, whenever she went up the mountain to pick vegetables, she always took the big cigarette bag that the old smoking god gave to Shi Long. Sometimes take a few sips and spit out smoke, not only the snake smells the smell of oil in the smoke bag and avoids it, but even the mosquitoes in the forest, small bites and smoke fly far away.

After this, the big girls and little daughters-in-law of the Kanto Mountains, when they went up the mountain to pick vegetables, hit the mountain goods or stepped on the field to plant the land, they all held a big cigarette bag, got used to it, and sat on the kangtou at home and smoked a big cigarette bag, leaving a big strange custom for the Kanto Mountain.
