During the Song Dynasty, there was an old woman named Zhao in Xipo Village, who was kind by nature and was kind and charitable on weekdays, and his local popularity was not bad.
Speaking of this Zhao Clan, he is also a poor person. Originally, zhao clan lived with their parents in the mountains and forests, their parents loved, their brothers loved, and their lives were happy.
But the good times did not last long, when he was twelve, Zhao and his father were unfortunately lost at the temple fair, and were brought home by a scoundrel who scolded Zhao every day, and the heavy work in the family was also handed over to Zhao.
When it was time to talk about marriage, this scoundrel sold the Zhao clan to an old man with a slope foot. Within a few years, this old man with a slope foot died, and Zhao Married the current Hu Fu and added a daughter to the Hu family, named Hu Ye.
Hu Fu died early, there was only one daughter in the family, and the daughter Hu Ye could not bear to leave the Zhao family, so he recruited a door-to-door son-in-law, and his life was also plain and happy. Only a few months ago, a strange thing happened to Zhao's family.
A few days ago, Hu Ye's husband Tao Zi went out to buy rice, and when he came back, he seemed to have changed into a person, his temperament had changed greatly, he was delicious and lazy, and every time he went out, he was always mysterious, which made both mother and daughter confused.
On this day, Zhao Went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables as usual. Digging and digging, he smelled a strange fragrance, and along with the fragrance, Zhao Shi came to a small valley. Seeing only this valley with birds and flowers and pleasant scenery, Zhao Shi couldn't help but feel strange, why didn't he know that there was such a good place before?
Just when Zhao Shi was wondering, he suddenly heard a wailing sound, and looked up at the sound, there was actually a large tiger nearly twenty feet long, he had never seen such a big tiger in his daily life, only to see this tiger open its mouth to eat its injured white deer. Zhao also saw the pure white doe for the first time.
Zhao Shi saw that there was a stone gap next to him, and this stone gap was just enough to accommodate a person, so Zhao Shi quickly hid in the stone crack. Zhao Shi thought to himself, he couldn't let this tiger eat this white deer, and when he looked left and right, he saw that there were some dung on the stone wall.
I remember hearing my father say when I was a child that tigers are most afraid of droppings, and if this feces sticks to tigers, the tiger's skin will fester. Zhao Shi quickly glued the feces to the stone and smashed it towards the tiger, only to see the tiger roar in pain a few times and was about to pounce on and eat Zhao Shi. However, the tiger's physique was too big to drill into the stone crevices, zhao shi was fortunate to avoid a disaster, and the white deer also took the opportunity to escape.
After Zhao Shi saw the tiger walking away, he couldn't help but feel a little palpitation, if it wasn't for this stone crack, he would also become the food in the tiger's mouth.
After returning home, Zhao Shi saw his son-in-law Tao Zi making plasters, so he asked Tao Zi why he made so many ointments, only to see Tao Zi say: "Recently, I heard that tigers often appear in the mountains, so I will prepare more plasters so that they can come in handy in an emergency." ”
Just when Zhao Shi was just about to tell Tao Zi about what he had encountered today, he saw his daughter Fuye return. Seeing that Hu Ye accidentally twisted his foot, Zhao Shi took cold water to put on Hu Ye, and forgot to say about the strange things he encountered in the mountains today.
Not long after dinner, Zhao Shi went back to the house to sleep, and after falling asleep, Zhao Shi dreamed of the white doe that he saved during the day today, and the white doe said to Zhao Shi: "Be careful of your son-in-law." ”
Zhao Shi woke up after this dream, thinking about what happened today, Zhao Shi also felt strange, why would the white deer break into his dream for no reason to speak to himself? Why Tao Zi's temperament changed drastically after he returned that time, and why some people in the village disappeared for no reason, all of this is too unusual.
Early the next morning, Tao Zi told Zhao that he had something to do and asked Zhao not to make lunch for himself. Zhao Shi watched Tao Zi go far away, so he followed Tao Zi far behind to see what Tao Zi was doing.
After taking many turns along the way, I finally came to a stone wall, and I saw Tao Zi drawing a tiger on the stone wall, and the stone wall suddenly cracked from the middle into a hole, and Zhao Shi did not dare to go in, so he quietly hid not far away to look into the cave.
I saw Tao Zi holding a plaster and applying it to the tiger's wound, and the tiger and Tao Zi seemed to be talking about something. When I approached the mouth of the cave, I heard the fifteenth lunar calendar, that is, when the bodhisattva closed his eyes, and then took the opportunity to eat their mother and daughter again.
Zhao Shi was frightened and hurried home, and after returning home, he told his daughter Hu Ye about the things he had encountered in the past two days, and Hu Ye also felt that Tao Zi was particularly strange these days, and even once saw Hu Fu eating raw meat in the kitchen in the middle of the night.
So Zhao and his daughter planned how to get rid of these two tigers, but they thought of many ways to feel that it was not feasible. Just when they didn't know what to do, Zhao Shi suddenly remembered that when he was a child, his father had told him some things about tigers, and a plan was quietly born.
After Tao Zi returned, Zhao Shi said that he would make a good dish tonight and let Tao Zi invite his good friends to celebrate together, after all, he had not celebrated for a long time. As soon as Tao Zi heard this, he agreed with joy.
In the evening, Tao Zi invited his friends, and everyone ate meat and drank wine together, and Zhao Shi did not know how many glasses of wine he poured for the two of them.
Zhao Shi and Hu Ye quickly dragged the two of them into the hole in the backyard and firmly sealed the opening with a red wire mesh. When they woke up, they were already trapped in the cave, and Tao Zi was suddenly furious when he saw it, and he was about to turn into a tiger to bite their mother and daughter, but the hole was too narrow to change at all.
Zhao Shi asked them to say why they wanted to harm themselves, if they didn't say it, they burned him with lime and dung, and the tiger did not dare to hide it, saying that he saw a man coming down the mountain the other day, so he disguised himself as an old man and asked about the situation in Taozi's home, and after understanding the basic situation, he ate the pottery in one bite, and he turned into pottery and came to his home.
Ben thought of eating Zhao's mother and daughter after going home, but Zhao's mother and daughter wore Qilin protective jade on their bodies. So I wanted to wait until the fifteenth lunar month of July tonight, that is, the bodhisattvas closed their eyes, and then they ate their mother and daughter.
Tiger Essence begged Zhao To release them, promising that he would never come out to harm people again, Zhao Clan was kind, looking at the tiger so sincerely said, he opened the net to release the tiger essence, who knew that as soon as it was released, the tiger essence suddenly pounced on the mother and daughter duo.
In a hurry, Zhao Shi hurriedly let Hu Ye wipe Qilin Yu's eyes, only to see that the light was radiant, and the two golden shining Qilin took a bite and ate the tiger essence.
Zhao Shi wanted to give them another chance, who knew that they would not change their dead nature, so they could only escape death. Zhao's heart was kind enough to save BaiLu, and Bailu knew that gratitude also saved Zhao's mother and daughter.
The so-called harmful heart must not have, the heart of preventing people must not be without, if the abnormality of the pottery is found at that time, it may reduce the unnecessary harm of other villagers, the world's affairs have always been so, it is not that the time has not come, all the bad things, after all, one will be exposed to the sun.
