There used to be two old single sticks, getting together to live together. Once Old Man Wang went down the mountain to collect goods, and when he returned, he found that Old Man Liu and a daughter-in-law in her 30s were getting along, and then Old Man Liu became younger and younger. Old Man Wang said that the little daughter-in-law was transformed by a goblin, but Old Man Liu did not believe it. Therefore, Old Man Wang secretly tried to probe when his daughter-in-law was not paying attention...
Once upon a time, at the foot of Luma Mountain, east of Helen City, there was only one hut in a ten-mile radius, and here lived an old man surnamed Liu. He planted big smoke here in the spring, sold it in the autumn harvest, and usually dug ginseng on the mountain. In addition to selling mountain goods and doing New Year goods, it will be the next time the mountain.
Old Man Liu had a good friend surnamed Wang, a few years younger than him, who often came to his house to visit, and sometimes stayed here for a few days. These two people are old, they are still old bachelors, they come and go, and the two are like brothers. Later, Old Man Wang simply brought his luggage and lived with Old Man Liu.
One year, when the New Year was approaching, the younger old man Wang said that he wanted to go down the mountain to do New Year goods, and the journey down the mountain was quite long, let alone about a week. Not long after Old Man Wang left, there was some movement outside the house, and Old Man Liu thought that Old Man Wang had forgotten to bring something, and was trying to make a few jokes.
When I opened the door, I saw a little daughter-in-law wearing a flower cotton jacket, looking more than 30 years old, and the little daughter-in-law said to Old Man Liu: "This great master, I am a member of the Xiatun Wang family, this time I went back to my mother's house to visit, I accidentally got lost, and now I am cold and hungry, I hope you can take it in."
Old Man Liu said, "Okay! Then you come in, I'll get you something to eat, and you can sit on the kang and warm up! ”
The little daughter-in-law obediently rested in Kangtou, and after a while, Old Man Liu came in with the noodle soup he had made. He made a whole pot for his daughter-in-law to eat first, not enough to add. The little daughter-in-law directly filled two large bowls, and instead of pulling him to eat together, Old Man Liu couldn't help it, and he also sat down to eat together.
After eating, it was already afternoon, and the winter days were short, and it would be dark in a short while. The little daughter-in-law said to Old Man Liu, "Uncle, it's already dark, and it's snowing so much, I'm afraid I can't catch the road, can you let me stay overnight?"
Although I think it is not good for men and women to live in the same room, but this weather is not suitable for driving people, Old Man Liu did not refuse too much. That night, the two rested on the same kang. The next day, the little daughter-in-law had no intention of leaving, and Old Man Liu did not ask her to leave, so the two lived like this.
It went on like this for a few days, until Old Man Wang, who went out to collect goods, came back and happened to run into a little daughter-in-law who was helping Old Man Liu cook. He asked curiously, and Old Man Liu explained, "She is a relative of the Xiatun Wang family." The little daughter-in-law did not explain, and left after eating.
In the days that followed, whenever Old Man Wang was not at home, the little daughter-in-law came to date Old Man Liu. Tossing and turning, Old Man Liu's aura not only did not deteriorate, but his face became more and more rosy, and even his white beard turned black.
A few days later, Old Man Wang suddenly said to Old Man Liu, "I have inquired about the little daughter-in-law who came from this desolate mountain and wild ridge, and I have not heard of anyone who has such a little daughter-in-law. Old Man Liu said, "Even if she's a youkai, I like her."
When Old Man Wang heard that the house belonged to Old Man Liu, no one objected, and he would stop talking about anything.
The old man of the Heavenly King came down the mountain again, and when he came back carrying an iron shovel, he happened to meet his daughter-in-law rolling noodles in the house, so he put the iron shovel on the kang and burned it. When the little daughter-in-law came out to lay the strip, he pretended to be poking the fire, and when the little daughter-in-law turned her back, he pulled out a red-hot iron shovel and stabbed it from behind. Only to see a "squeak", a burst of white smoke came out of front of his eyes, and a black shadow flew out of the gate.
Old Man Wang triumphantly said to Old Man Liu, "Look! I knew it was a leprechaun. Old Man Liu was dumbfounded at once, although he was very unhappy in his heart, he had nothing to say, and could only shake his head and sigh.
The next morning, they followed the blood trail and walked less than a kilometer when they saw a sika deer lying on the side of the road in the snow, with a hole in its stomach and lower back. The strange thing is that the pattern of the sika deer is exactly the same as the flower cotton jacket worn by the little daughter-in-law.
The more Old Man Liu looked, the more uncomfortable he became, and he felt very sorry in his heart, and ran over to hold the sika deer and cried bitterly...
@Night Rain Dust: The above plot is from "Northeast Folk Tales"
As Old Man Liu's best friend, After realizing that his friend may have been deceived, Old Man Wang took the initiative to stand up and help his friend. On the other hand, Old Man Wang's behavior is also infuriating, although the little daughter-in-law is a goblin, but she has not done anything harmful, he only relies on a momentary imagination, he has made a cruel hand.
Taking ten thousand steps back, friends also need boundaries, some people like to judge other people's lives based on their own right and wrong, and some things you feel are unreasonable, that is in your worldview. And between friends, as long as the other person feels that their lifestyle is right, you have no right to interfere too much.
If it were you, would you want such a friend? Welcome to leave a comment.
