Once upon a time, Wang Jiazhuang had a king with six sons and a daughter under his knees, a solid family, a good charity, and a good reputation in ten miles and eight townships. Wang Yuanwai's life was very smooth, only one thing was very disturbing, and the whole village was tacitly aware: the men of this family were wetting the bed. Bedwetting has become a heart disease of this family, strangely, after asking the doctor for pulse, the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with their bodies, and what was even more strange was that the men of the Wang family did not wet the bed if they spent the night outside. So the villagers privately spread the word that there was a ghost in the courtyard of the Wang family, and this ghost did not do anything else, but specially let people wet the bed.
It is said that the six sons outside the wang have all married, and only the youngest daughter, Yingying, is in a daze. The old couple regarded this little daughter as a pearl in the palm of their hands, and they were afraid to be frightened on their heads, and they were afraid to melt in their mouths. Seeing that Yingying is almost eighteen years old, the marriage has not yet landed, her parents are anxious, and her brothers and sisters-in-law are also anxious. It is not that Yingying looks ugly and stupid, on the contrary, Yingying is smart and clever, the blame is only that she was favored from childhood, the marriage must be approved by herself, and the matchmakers sent by those big families have come to a wave and a wave, and Yingying is not a one who agrees. It turned out that Yingying looked down on those male brothers who did not learn and had no skills, and her standard was that people should be diligent and self-motivated, and it didn't matter if they were poor. In the end, Yingying fell in love with Liu Wen, the son of Liu Wen, a poor Xiucai in Liu Village, ten miles away, although liu Wen was full of poetry and books, he was not pedantic, and he was very bold, and he liked to ask the root of everything.
The marriage was handled by the Wang family, originally Yingying said that marrying a chicken with a chicken, poor days will be poor, do not let the pomp and circumstance, but Mrs. Wang cried and wiped tears, so many rich people you do not marry, this we are by you, but the scenery and scenery to marry you out must be by us. In order not to make her mother sad, Yingying did not insist any longer.
The second day of the wedding is the day when the daughter and son-in-law return to the door, and according to custom, they must stay at the mother's house for one night. Overnight morning, this Liu Wen was lazy not to get up, Yingying immediately understood what was going on, she smiled and handed her husband a glass of water, and said gently: These two days are busy and tired, easy to get on fire and thirst, first drink a cup of water and then get up. Liu Wen took the water and looked at Yingying gratefully, and then suddenly lost his hand, the water was sprinkled on the futon, Yingying said loudly: How to be so careless, see if the futon is wet, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, take it out to dry it.
Back at his own home, Liu Wen was angry about the first time he went to his mother-in-law's house to wet the bed, to see if his husband was sullen and unhappy, and Yingying told her brother and father about wetting the bed. This Liu Wen is a person who wants to understand everything, and a month later he returned to his mother's house with Yingying and said that he was going to stay for a few more days to relieve the pain of his parents and daughters. Wang Yuanwai and his wife were eager to arrange for the young couple to live.
At night, Liu Wen said to read, let Yingying sleep first, after Yingying slept soundly, Liu Wen turned off the light and pretended to snore, but his eyes were open, just after the twelve o'clock bell rang, he heard the door "squeak" and opened a slit, a small white man floated in, stood above his head, shook his head with his cold little hand, and said while shaking: Pee! Pee! Although Liu Wen was awake, he still couldn't control it, and he opened the gate and let go of water like a painful pee. The next morning, Liu Wen was not embarrassed, but generously carried the quilt out.
After breakfast, Liu Wen went out to find a distant uncle of his, who had a good set of ways to deal with ghosts. Listening to Liu Wen's introduction, the uncle said that this is a night pot ghost, the Wang family must have a night pot that has been used for a long time, because of the long age, the night pot has been affected by the essence of the sun and the moon, and it has become a night pot ghost, and the night half three more come out to make trouble, but it does not do other bad things, only let the men wet the bed, which does not work for women. The uncle whispered to Liu Wen, so that he could catch this naughty ghost.
Back at Wang Yuanwai's house, Liu Wen asked to share a room with his brothers-in-law, gossiped about home, talked about poetry books, and at first Wang Yuanwai did not agree, but he could not stand Yingying, although he did not know what medicine Liu Wen bought in the gourd or arranged for his sons and son-in-law to live in the largest guest room in the family. Seven big men made a big fire, and everyone thought it was funny, until late at night. After the lights went out, the brothers-in-law gradually entered the dream, and Liu Wen quietly got up and hid in the corner of the room.
"Dangdang", the wall clock on the wall rang twelve times, when the door squeaked and twisted open a slit, a small white man floated in, Liu Wen held his breath, did not dare to move. The little white man stood on top of people's heads, stretched out his little white hand to shake the head of his brother-in-law, and commanded in a very thin but unquestionable tone: Pee! Pee! The sound of the uproar came and went, Liu Wen actually wanted to laugh, he did not dare to laugh, but bit his middle finger, an arrow pounced on it, a drop of blood hit the heart of the little white man's eyebrows, the little white man was cast a fixed body method like not moving, Liu Wen quickly took out from his pocket the red rope prepared in advance and tied it to the neck of the little thing, the brothers-in-law were still sleeping, Liu Wen did not wake them, he held a section of the red rope in his hand, waiting for the chicken to cry. Uncle said that you can't talk about this matter beforehand, the night pot ghost is very clever, the process of arrest must be fast, if the night pot ghost escapes, it will not be able to catch it again, the chicken must be guarded before it barks, if there is a cat and mouse or something rushing, the night pot ghost will run again, and after the chicken crows it will never escape.
After the chicken barked three times, Liu Wen took a nap. After dawn, the brothers-in-law got up and saw a small white thing standing on the ground, very confused, Liu Wen said that this was a night pot ghost, and after a while the fire of peach trees and jujube trees was set up and burned.
The news that Wang Yuanwai had caught the night pot ghost spread throughout the village, and the villagers rushed to see the freshness. The fire was set up on the river beach in the west of the village, Liu Wen carried the night pot ghost with a white cloth, people flocked to the river beach, a fire was lit, Liu Wen threw the little white man into the fire with the white cloth, the chirping sound was very small but could reach everyone's ear buns, very harsh and maddening. The people of a river beach were silent, until the sound disappeared, the fire burned out, and the people took a breath of air and began to talk.
From this day on, the men of the Wang family did not wet the bed again. Liu Wen became the most popular son-in-law in their family.
