There is a farmer named Xue Li in Suzhou, and his family lives at the foot of the mountain, not far from the village, and lives on two acres of thin land at home, and his life is very hard.
The couple only has one son under their knees, named Su'er, who is well-behaved and cute. Although the family is poor, they are kind and loving.
But the good times didn't last long, and one day, the couple went to work in the fields, and Su'er was alone at home to play.
In the evening, the couple went home and saw that Su'er was different from normal today, in a trance, muttering to herself, like a stupid person.
The couple was very scared, and hurriedly invited the doctor, after the doctor came to this point, the Tao was very strange, there was nothing wrong with him, and he was very puzzled. I don't know what's going on, so I went back.
The couple was very anxious, but they were helpless.
Next, Su'er didn't sleep at night, always talking to herself at night, doing some weird things, often running out barefoot, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, like a crazy person.
The couple sighed sadly, wondering why a good child had become like this? I found a lot of doctors, but I couldn't see what was going on?
One day, a Taoist priest passed by and went to his house to ask for water to drink, and when he saw the mist on their faces, he was very puzzled, and asked them in surprise if there was anything wrong.
When the couple told what had happened, his wife began to cry anxiously.
The Taoist priest went in to take a look and exclaimed, "This is a lost soul."
The couple has already asked the goddess to call the soul, but it's still not good.
The Taoist priest said slowly: "This is not a frightened soul, but a lost soul." ”
After saying that, he came to the backyard with sharp eyes and walked with a walk...... No, stop, come to the dry well of his house and stop, and let him lift the manhole cover.
Xue Li opened it in surprise, was shocked, turned pale with fright, and took a few steps back.
When his wife looked over, she trembled with fright, and saw that in the dry well, there was a toad as big as a dustpan, staring at them with blood-red eyes, and she was not afraid of people, and she looked terrifying.
The Taoist priest pointed to it and said, "The toad in this well has become a sperm, he took the child's soul, turned into a man, and went out at night to do harm to others, fortunately it did not harm you, if you don't believe it, you can go out and inquire, someone must have died nearby." ”
Xue Er was shocked and frightened when he heard this, and angrily picked up a stick to hit it, but the Taoist priest stopped him and said: "It has become a climate, how can people kill it, don't believe it, you can try, he nodded to Xue Er."
Xue Er's angry eyes widened, trembling all over, and he took a stick and hit the huge toad in the dry well...... The toad was gone, he was stunned, and the toad came out again, so he couldn't hit him at all, and his wife was terrified.
Xue Er was unwilling, picked up the stone and threw it in, the toad was gone, he stopped, the toad appeared again, and so over and over again, a lot of stones were thrown into the dry well, Xue Er was tired and sweaty, the toad was not hurt at all, and he was very deflated.
The Taoist priest smiled and threw a charm into it, and the charm knot was attached to the toad's body, the toad was motionless, and the Taoist priest asked him to go down the well and catch the toad.
Xue Er was a little afraid and hesitated.
"Don't worry, it's okay, it can't move anymore. ”
Taoist Anxi et al.
He trembled and went down, took the toad, and killed it.
The Taoist priest took out a talisman and burned it, and gave it to the child to drink, but it was not big, the child returned to normal, shouting that he was hungry, and the couple cried with joy, and the Taoist priest left here.
A few days later, Xue Er learned that if two people really died in the neighboring village, it must have been a toad, and he was very afraid, and after that, there was no more strange things.
