One day, an old Taoist suddenly came to the village. Instead of going to someone else's house, he went to a family that had just given birth. The old Daoist silently recited a few incantations to the two large vats at the door.
"Mother, take your son out and let the old taoists see it." The old man smiled and said to the man, "This child of your family looks very festive at first glance, and I like it very much, so let me give him a name." ”
"I just haven't had time to name my child, so I'm going to trouble you."
After pondering for a moment, the old Daoist said to the man, "This child is not an ordinary child, so let's name the child Pengfei." ”
The man was very happy when he heard this, and he quickly invited the old Daoist to the hall and prepared to entertain him warmly.
But the old man refused.
"I won't eat, but there is one thing you must do as I say."
"Daoist, whatever you command, I will obey."
"In three days, if the little prince is frightened by anything, he will cry incessantly. You must ask the lady to sit in the big vat on the left with her husband in her arms. Don't forget. ”
The old man said nothing and left.
On the second day, the family and friends of the host family came to congratulate.
The man asked the lady to wrap her son in a quilt and then hold it for everyone to see one by one.
Friends and relatives say that the little boy looks really handsome.
But among the relatives and friends, a man suddenly squeezed to the front and squeezed the face of the little prince with his hand, and the little prince immediately cried unceasingly.
No one can coax it. The man asked the lady to feed the child, and the child did not drink.
It's endless crying. Friends and family were also frightened.
"What the hell is wrong with the child?"
The man was even more anxious. "Does anyone know what happened to the little prince?"
Relatives and friends said they didn't know.
Madame also cried urgently, "Why didn't you look at the child and let people pinch their faces?" ”
The anxious man suddenly thought of what the old Taoist said.
"If the little prince suddenly cries incessantly, let the lady carry him to the jar and sit down."
So the man hurriedly asked the servant to take a piece of felt and spread it in the jar.
"How can the words of those jianghu warlocks be trusted?" Let's go find a doctor and have a look, shall we? ”
"How do you know if you don't try?"
The man forced the lady to sit in the jar with the little prince in her arms.
Madame insisted on climbing out of the jar, and before Madame could come out, suddenly there was a sound of the earth breaking apart.
It turned out that the Yellow River had broken its banks, and the water rushed into the village, flooding the houses, and the huge waves swept away everyone, including the man.
In this way, the vat drifted in the flood for a day and a night. The lady and the little prince survived...
