Sister-in-law's bad thoughts
In a remote mountain village, there is a family surnamed Li. The Li family has three brothers, the eldest Li Fu and the second brother Li Gui have all started a family, but the third Li Bao has not yet married a wife. Although the three brothers have very different personalities, they have always lived in harmony and supported the family together.
Li Fu's wife, known as the sister-in-law, is a shrewd and capable woman, but her heart and eyes are not very good. She often thinks about how to get some benefits from her brothers. The sister-in-law is particularly harsh on Li Bao, always feeling that he is a burden, and trying every means to kick him out of the house.
One day, my sister-in-law heard that there was a miraculous herb in the mountains and forests outside the village, which could cure all kinds of diseases and prolong life. Her heart moved, and she felt that this was a golden opportunity. So, she found Li Fu to discuss, wanting him to take Li Bao to collect medicine and take the opportunity to get rid of Li Bao.
Although Li Fu was a little hesitant, he couldn't stand his sister-in-law's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally agreed. He found Li Bao and told him the good news, saying that if he picked herbs, he would be able to exchange money for money, and he would have a daughter-in-law in the future. When Li Bao heard this, he was very happy and hurriedly agreed.
The next day, the brothers took their tools and set out on a journey to collect medicines. They walked through dense woods and over steep cliffs to the fabled herb farm. I saw that this mountain forest was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland. In the grass, herbs with a strange aroma loomed.
The brothers were so excited that they hurriedly began to pick. However, at this moment, a strange laugh suddenly sounded, which frightened them all over. When they looked up, they saw a strange man in a black robe with a hideous face appear in front of them. The strange man's eyes flashed with a faint green light, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "How dare you trespass on my territory and want to steal my treasure?"
Li Fu and Li Bao were so frightened that they hurriedly put down the herbs and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. But the strange man did not give up, and with a wave of his hand, a black gas came towards them. The brothers suddenly felt dizzy, their limbs were weak, and they fell to the ground unable to move.
At this moment, the strange man suddenly put away the black qi and said coldly: "I will spare you this time because you are ignorant." But you must promise me one condition, otherwise you will not want to leave this mountain forest alive. ”
The brothers hurriedly nodded in agreement. The strange man said, "You must bring someone back to me, or I will leave you dead without a place to bury." With that, he turned into a gust of black wind and disappeared.
The brothers got up in shock and helped each other back home. They told their sister-in-law and other family members what had happened. When the sister-in-law heard this, she secretly rejoiced in her heart, and felt that this was a good opportunity to get rid of Li Bao. She pretended to be worried on the surface, but in private she made her own little calculations.
A few days later, the sister-in-law found Li Fu and said, "It is also a blessing that your brother can come back safely this time." But we can't help but accede to that weirdo's request. Look, why don't you send Li Bao there?"
When Li Fu heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Then how can we do it? Li Bao is our younger brother, we can't push him into the fire pit!"
The sister-in-law refused to give up, she coaxed Li Fu sweetly, saying that this was for Li Bao's good and the good of the whole family. She also threatens that if she doesn't, the weirdo might turn the anger on the whole family and bring even more disaster to everyone.
Li Fu was upset by his sister-in-law, and finally had to reluctantly agree. He found Li Bao and told him what his sister-in-law said. When Li Bao heard this, tears immediately rained down, he knew that his sister-in-law had always disliked him, but he didn't expect to come up with such a bad idea to harm him. But he also understands that he is powerless to resist and can only obey the arrangement of fate.
In this way, a few days later, Li Fu took Li Bao and set foot on the road to the mountains and forests again. They are anxious and unsure of what fate they will face in the future. And what kind of disaster will that weirdo bring to them?
When they came to the mysterious mountain forest again, they saw that the strange man was already standing there, waiting for their arrival. Li Fu and Li Bao hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and handed Li Bao over to the stranger. The strange man glanced at Li Bao coldly, then turned around and disappeared into the depths of the mountain forest.
Li Fu watched his younger brother's back drift away, and his heart was full of helplessness and guilt. He knew that his move might change Li Bao's fate forever. But he also understood that there was nothing he could do, so he could only silently pray that Li Bao would be safe.
However, things are not as simple as they think. Since Li Bao was taken away by strange people, a series of strange things have happened in the Li family one after another. First the family's livestock died inexplicably, and then the family's food disappeared for no apparent reason. What's even more terrifying is that in the dead of night, there will be bursts of eerie cries and laughter in the house, which is creepy.
The sister-in-law began to feel frightened, and she felt that she might have angered the gods in order to suffer such retribution. She regretted it, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only secretly pray for forgiveness from the gods.
The strange incident of the Li family became more and more intense, and the villagers began to talk about it, some people said that the Li family offended the mountain god, and some people said that the Li family was entangled by monsters. These rumors made the sister-in-law even more panicked, and she was worried all day long, for fear that something even greater would befall her.
Li Fu and Li Gui decided to invite the Taoist priests in the village to exorcise evil spirits. After the Taoist priest came, after some inspection, he frowned and said, "There is indeed an unusual atmosphere in your house, but the root of the problem is not here. ”
He took the brothers to the edge of the mountain forest, pointed to the mysterious place, and said, "What is the problem. Have any of you been to that forest and taken something with you that shouldn't have been taken?"
When the brothers heard this, their faces immediately changed. They hesitated for a moment, and finally told the Taoist priest about Li Bao being taken away by the stranger. When the Taoist priest heard this, he sighed: "You guys have caused a big disaster! The strange man in that mountain forest is actually a cursed monster. He's been looking for a stand-in to lift his curse, and you've given him your brother. ”
After hearing this, the brothers regretted their mistakes and wept bitterly. They begged the Taoist priest to save Li Bao, but the Taoist priest shook his head and said, "The curse of the monster cannot be lifted by manpower. But I can try to talk to him and see if there's a solution. ”
The Taoist priest entered the mountain forest alone, and after some arduous negotiations, finally returned with a shocking news. He said, "The monster agreed to let Li Bao back, but he asked you to agree to one condition - you must make offerings to him once a year to appease his anger." ”
Although the brothers were unwilling, they could only reluctantly agree in order to save Li Bao. The Taoist priest taught them how to prepare the objects and rituals to be worshipped, and warned them not to trespass on the forest in the future.
A few days later, Li Bao was sent back. He looked a little haggard, but he was quite sane. He told his family that he was imprisoned in a dark place by youkai and tortured every day. But the youkai seem to have something special about him and don't kill him as brutally as they do with other stand-ins.
After Li Bao returned, the Li family worshipped the monster once a year according to the instructions of the Taoist priest. The strange incident never happened again, and the Li family gradually returned to its former peace.
After experiencing this incident, the sister-in-law also completely changed her mentality. She is no longer harsh on Li Bao, but cares about him and takes care of him like her own brother. She knew that it was her bad intentions that caused all this, and she spent the rest of her life making up for her mistakes.
Li Fu and Li Gui also learned a lesson from this incident, and they understood the truth that man and nature should coexist in harmony and no longer destroy the environment of mountains and forests at will. They led the villagers to protect the mountain forest and make that mysterious place a beautiful nature reserve.
Although Li Bao has gone through hardships, he has also become stronger and more mature as a result. He used his own experience to warn future generations, telling them not to repeat the mistakes of the past and cherish the family and friendship with the people around them.
Although Li Bao returned safely, the experience of being imprisoned by monsters left an indelible psychological shadow on him. He became reticent and often sat alone in the corner of the room in a daze, as if reminiscing about those terrible days.
Li Fu and Li Gui saw it in their eyes and hurt in their hearts. They knew that their brother needed time to heal, so they decided to spend more time with him through this difficult time. They took Li Bao to the mountains to hunt and go fishing by the river, trying to use the beauty of nature to dispel the gloom in his heart.
And the sister-in-law also changed her attitude, she began to care about Li Bao's diet and daily life, and often stewed some supplements for him, hoping that his body could recover as soon as possible. She even took the initiative to chat with Li Bao and ask him about his current situation, wanting to make up for her past mistakes.
With the joint efforts of the Li family, Li Bao's mood gradually improved. He began to reintegrate into the family, working with his brothers and taking care of the family with his sister-in-law. While the experience still haunts him, he has learned how to face it and not let it become a shadow of his life.
However, the calm days did not last long. A few years later, the Li family's life changed again. A sudden flash flood washed away houses and farmland in the village, leaving many villagers without their homes. Although the Li family was lucky to escape, they also suffered heavy losses and their lives were in trouble.
At this critical moment, the monster that had been offended by the Li family reappeared. He came to Li's house and said to Li Fu: "You once promised to worship me once a year, but in recent years you seem to have forgotten this promise. Now, you have to pay for it. ”
After Li Fu heard this, he was shocked. He hurriedly apologized to the youkai and explained that it was the flash flood that prevented them from making offerings on time. He asked the yokai for a period of grace to make up the offerings when they rebuilt their homes.
The monster looked at Li Fu coldly and was silent for a while. Then he said, "I can give you a chance." You need to find a magical plant called 'Spirit Grass' within three days and use it as an offering. If you can find it, I will spare you, or I will make you pay a heavier price. ”
With that, the youkai turned into a gust of black wind and disappeared. The Li family looked at each other, their hearts full of fear and uneasiness. They know that this challenge will be tougher than any before. But they also understand that this is their chance to atone for their sins and their hope to rebuild their homeland.
So, the Li family began to look around for clues to the 'Spirit Heart Grass'. They trekked through mountains and rivers and endured hardships to finally find this amazing plant in a remote valley. They use 'Reikoko' as an offering and sincerely pray for the yokai's forgiveness.
The youkai received the offering, and his anger seemed to subside somewhat. He said to the Li family: "You have done a good job this time, and it has not been in vain that I have given you all my heart. I will spare you, but you must also remember the lesson of this time and stop doing things that harm nature. ”
After saying that, the monster turned into a black wind and left again. The Li family breathed a sigh of relief, they knew that they had finally gotten rid of the entanglement of the monsters. They are grateful and determined to cherish their relationship with nature more in the future and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
After this incident, the Li family became more united and stronger. Together, they rebuild their homes and face the challenges of the future. And the monster that once brought them disaster has also become an eternal warning in their hearts, reminding them to respect nature and cherish life.
