Folk tale: Brother-in-law visits his sister-in-law in the middle of the night
In a small mountain village away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there lives a young man named Li Hao. Li Hao is a kind-hearted and skilled village doctor, and the villagers come to him for treatment when they have a headache and brain fever. He married a gentle and virtuous wife, and the two were very affectionate and lived a very happy life. The only regret is that they have been married for many years, but they have never been able to have a child.
Li Hao's wife has a young sister named Xiao Yun, who is playful and cute, smart and clever. Due to the early death of her parents, Xiao Yun has lived with her sister and brother-in-law since she was a child, and Li Hao and his wife treated her like their own daughter. Although Xiao Yun is young, she is very sensible, often helps her sister with housework, and has a very close relationship with her brother-in-law.
One night, Xiao Yun suddenly fell ill, developed a high fever, and was talking nonsense. Li Hao's wife was so anxious that she hurriedly called Li Hao to see Xiao Yun. Li Hao carefully examined Xiao Yun's symptoms, but found that her condition was very strange, neither like an ordinary cold, nor like other common diseases. He tried several commonly used prescriptions, but Xiao Yun's condition did not improve.
Late at night, Xiao Yun's condition became more and more serious, and she began to have convulsions. Li Hao's wife was so frightened that she cried, and Li Hao was also sweating profusely. He knew that if he didn't find out the cause, Xiao Yun's life might be in danger.
At this moment, Xiao Yun suddenly struggled to sit up, and said to Li Hao in a weak voice: "Brother-in-law, I know what kind of illness I have, you can save me......" Before she finished speaking, she fainted again.
Li Hao's heart moved, and he felt that there seemed to be some secret hidden in Xiao Yun's words. He hurriedly woke up his wife and asked her to take care of Xiao Yun, while he put on his clothes and decided to go to the ancestral hall in the village to worship and pray to the gods to bless Xiao Yun safely.
The ancestral hall is located in the deepest part of the village, and it looks particularly eerie in the dead of night. Li Hao walked on the path leading to the ancestral hall, only to feel that the wind was gusting around him, as if something was secretly peeking at him. He suppressed the fear in his heart and walked quickly to the door of the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall enshrines the ancestral tablets of the village, and the incense is at its peak, but it is empty at the moment. Li Hao lit three incense sticks, bowed respectfully three times, and then prayed silently. At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint cry coming from the corner of the ancestral hall.
Li Hao was shocked in his heart, and followed the prestige, only to see a ragged woman with a pale face squatting in the corner crying. When the woman saw Li Hao, she suddenly stopped crying, looked at him with empty eyes, and slowly spoke, "Are you here to ask for a son?"
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, not understanding why this woman would ask this. He was about to ask, but the woman suddenly stood up and approached him step by step. Li Hao only felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, and he instinctively wanted to run away, but his legs were as heavy as lead.
At this moment, the woman suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Li Hao's collar. Her fingers were cold and piercing, as if they could penetrate a person's soul. Li Hao was frightened and wanted to break free, but found that his strength was so insignificant in front of this woman.
"You save my daughter......" The woman spoke suddenly, her voice trembling and desolate, "She is haunted by evil spirits, only you can save her......" After saying that, she let go of her hand, turned and disappeared into the darkness.
Li Hao stood in place, his heart full of doubts and fear. He didn't know who the woman was, or whether what she was saying was credible. However, he knew that Xiao Yun's condition was urgent, and he had to find out the cause as soon as possible to save Xiao Yun's life.
Early the next morning, Li Hao told his wife what happened to him in the ancestral hall last night. His wife was also very scared when she heard this, but she knew that now was not the time to be afraid, and she had to find a way to save Xiao Yun. So, the two discussed it and decided to follow the woman's prompts to find traces of evil spirits.
After much trouble, they finally found the hiding place of the evil spirits, an abandoned temple. The temple is eerie and eerie, and there is a suffocating atmosphere. Li Hao plucked up the courage to walk in, only to see a hideous statue enshrined in the center of the temple, and a black incense burner was placed in front of the statue, and three incense sticks were inserted in the incense burner that were about to burn out.
Li Hao's heart tightened, he knew that this was the lair of evil spirits. He cautiously stepped forward, trying to pull out the three incense sticks, but suddenly felt dizzy, and his body involuntarily softened.
Just then, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the temple. Immediately after, a familiar figure appeared in his sight - it was his wife, who was holding a kitchen knife in her hand, apparently to save him.
When his wife saw Li Hao fall to the ground, she hurriedly rushed forward to help him up. The two looked at each other, and they both saw firm faith and courage in each other's eyes. They know that no matter how many hardships and dangers lie ahead, they must persevere, for Xiao Yun, and for this family.
So, the two joined hands and challenged the evil spirits together. After a fierce struggle, they finally defeated the evil spirit and rescued Xiao Yun, who was haunted by it.
After Xiao Yun woke up, she learned that her brother-in-law and sister had saved her, and she was grateful. She knelt in front of Li Hao and thanked her repeatedly: "Brother-in-law, thank you for saving me! If it weren't for you, I might have died......
Li Hao picked up Xiao Yun and said with a smile: "Silly girl, we are a family, how can I watch you suffer? As long as you are okay, I will be at ease." ”
After this incident, Xiao Yun's body gradually recovered, and Li Hao and his wife also won the admiration and respect of the villagers because of their courage to fight against evil spirits. As a result, their family's relationship has become even deeper.
However, it didn't end there. In the process of treating Xiao Yun, Li Hao unexpectedly found out that he was pregnant. It turned out that the woman she met in the ancestral hall that night was actually the village child-sending lady, and because she was grateful for Li Hao's kindness and medical skills, she secretly helped him and made him realize his wish for many years.
After learning the news, Li Hao and his wife were ecstatic. They know that it is a reward for their kindness and bravery, and the result of their family working together.
A few months later, Li Hao's wife gave birth to a healthy and lovely boy. Xiao Yun also loves this little nephew as if he were her own child. The family was happy and lived a happy life.
This story became a good story in the village, and people said that Li Hao's family was a good person with good rewards. Since then, the people of the village have become more convinced of the power of kindness and bravery, and they have helped each other and united to create a harmonious and beautiful home.
And Li Hao also strengthened his belief in medicine because of this experience. He continued to use his medical skills and love to treat the villagers and save people, and became the most respected person in the village.
Time flies, time flies. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and Li Hao has become a gray-haired old man. But his heart is still young, still full of love for life and the pursuit of medical skills.
Whenever he recalls that night full of suspense and weirdness, Li Hao will be full of emotion. He thanked the mysterious woman for giving him a complete family and a good life. He is also grateful to his wife and Xiao Yun for their support and companionship, which allows him to bravely face all difficulties and challenges.
Now, Li Hao's grandson has also grown up, inherited his mantle, and continues to treat the villagers and save people. And Li Hao sat in a rocking chair at home, enjoying the tranquility and happiness of his old age. He knows that although his life is full of twists and turns and bizarreness, it is these experiences that make him cherish the happiness and beauty in front of him even more.
This story teaches us that kindness and bravery are the most important qualities in life. Only with them can we strengthen our faith and move forward bravely in the face of difficulties and challenges. And every experience and encounter in life is a test and exercise for us, they make us grow, make us stronger and braver. As the years passed, Li Hao's grandson Xiao Li also became a young doctor in the village, inheriting his grandfather's medical skills and medical ethics. He was smart and studious, and was loved by the villagers. Li Hao, on the other hand, often sits under the old locust tree at the head of the village, telling the children stories of his youth, those stories about courage, kindness and love, like a clear spring, flowing in everyone's hearts.
One day, when Xiao Li was collecting medicine in the mountains, he accidentally found a rare herb. Knowing that the herb worked wonders for treating a rare ailment, he excitedly returned home with the herb. Li Hao saw the herb in his grandson's hand, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he told Xiao Li that this herb had saved many people's lives, but now it is difficult to find.
Xiao Li decided to use this herb to treat an elderly man in the village who was suffering from a rare disease. After a few days of meticulous treatment, the old man's condition miraculously improved. The villagers praised Xiao Li's superb medical skills, and Xiao Li modestly said that this was all taught by his grandfather, and he just did his best.
This incident spread throughout the village, and Li Hao's reputation became louder and louder. He is very relieved to know that his medical skills and ethics have been passed on to the next generation, and this legacy will continue to benefit more people.
However, the good times were short-lived. One year, the village was hit by a severe plague, and many people fell ill. Li Hao and Xiao Li worked day and night to treat the villagers, but the epidemic was getting worse and worse. They knew that the source of the plague had to be found in order to solve the problem once and for all.
So, Li Hao decided to go to the deep mountains and old forests in person to find the possible source of the plague. Xiao Li was worried about his grandfather's safety, but Li Hao said firmly: "I am a doctor, I can't watch the villagers suffer." Don't worry, I'll be careful. ”
A few days later, Li Hao returned to the village covered in exhaustion and scars. He told the villagers that he had found the source of the plague and had managed to eliminate it. Hearing the news, the villagers cheered and wept with gratitude.
However, Li Hao's body collapsed due to days of fatigue and rushing. He was lying on a hospital bed, his face pale and his breath faint. Xiao Li stayed by the bedside, his heart like a knife. He knew that his grandfather had come to the end of his life.
At the last moment of his life, Li Hao took Xiao Li's hand and said with a smile: "Child, you have to remember that the doctor is benevolent." We will use our medical skills and love to treat everyone in need. In this way, our lives will be meaningful. With that, he closed his eyes and left this world forever.
The villagers held a grand funeral for Li Hao, and they said that Li Hao was a hero in their hearts, and his medical skills and ethics will always be remembered in their hearts.
Xiao Li inherited his grandfather's legacy and continued to treat the villagers and save people. He always remembered his grandfather's teachings, and used his medical skills and love to treat everyone in need. He knew that this was what his grandfather wanted him to do, and it was what he should do as a healer.
In this legendary mountain village, Li Hao's story has been passed down from generation to generation. His kindness, bravery, and medical skills have become an eternal legend in the hearts of the villagers. And his teaching of "the benevolence of doctors" will forever inspire future doctors to use their medical skills and love to create more miracles of life.
