[108] Confinement ghost
Zhang San did not become Zhong Kui's apprentice in the end, perhaps because of his evil intentions, but more importantly, this man committed a lot of blood debts, and what he did for Zhong Kui was the opposite.
One piece?
In the end, Zhong Kui told him that you can only alleviate your sins by going to the temple to cultivate your moral character and pray to heaven and earth every day to apologize. Unexpectedly, this guy actually went to Guangzong Temple to become a monk and devote himself to atonement for his sins.
The old lady's home has become more popular because of Zhong Kui's arrival. Because of his achievements, more and more people are coming to the home to ask for his help.
There are all sorts of situations, including children who have lost their minds, families who have found abnormalities, and mothers who have difficulty giving birth. They all come to him.
You say people who laugh don’t laugh at people? What does a pregnant woman’s birth of a child have to do with a big man like Zhong Kui? Besides, the delivery room is a very unlucky place, and men are not allowed to enter it casually.
But today Zhong Kui just came back from outside, and Vanilla told him hurriedly that someone had been waiting for him in the living room for a long time, and no matter how he was dismissed, he would not leave.
Not to mention Zhong Kui himself is here.
Zhong Kui said nothing, just asked a few questions about whether the old lady was okay, and then went straight into the living room.
There was a man in the living room with an anxious look on his face. There was a cup of cold tea on the table. The man was not in the mood to drink the tea, he was preoccupied with waiting for Zhong Kui to come back.
After some pleasantries and introductions, Zhong Kui learned that this man's home was far away in another county, and he had traveled more than a hundred miles by bicycle.
How could Zhong Kui, who was already exhausted, refuse this man's request and ask the man to explain his purpose?
It turns out that at that time, there were no formal hospitals setting up delivery departments for women, and no one paid attention to women's health.
This man has three children in his family, just because they are all girls. Girls were still considered as money-losing goods in those days, and they had no status in the countryside. If you give birth to a boy in your family, your neighbors will congratulate you wildly, but if you
If you give birth to a girl, not only will you not get congratulations, but you will also get all kinds of cynicism.
Especially for rural women who are mothers, giving birth to a boy or a girl will bring you unforeseen embarrassing situations.
This man's mother was not an ordinary patriarchal thinker. She ignored her first three granddaughters and only wanted her daughter-in-law to have a baby. So! This old woman burned incense and paid homage to her daughter-in-law all day long.
Worshiping, only seeking a male child, if it is a female child, it will be stillborn.
Look at your mother-in-law, she is so vicious...
After learning that the man had a child under the age of twelve at home, Zhong Kui gave up the idea of taking the Seven Little Ghosts. Regardless of Vanilla's obstruction, he immediately followed the man to his home in another county.
When I walked to the door of the house, I saw a cute girl with three braids. She came up to her and called her daddy. The man had a sad look on his face and didn't pay attention to anyone. He took Zhong Kui directly into the back room.
When he came to the back room, before he sat down, Zhong Kui heard clearly the screams coming from another room.
"How many days has the mother been like this?" Zhong Kui asked in surprise.
"It's been three days." The man was covered in cold sweat and looked panicked.
"You go and comfort him. I'll come in later, but you have to prepare a red piece of cloth for me."
"What is it for?"
"It's around the eyes." Zhong Kui said seriously.
The man lowered his head and frowned, still not understanding what Zhong Kui meant. What came to mind was: Cover your eyes with a piece of red cloth, how can you treat my wife?
Zhong Kui peeked into the other party's thoughts and said solemnly again: "Time is urgent, go and prepare quickly. If you don't understand anything, I will explain it to you after everything is done."
"That's a good feeling." The man said and hurriedly got ready.
After the man left, Zhong Kui took out the candies in his pocket and distributed them to the girls who were watching him from a distance and did not dare to come near.
After he finished, he called to the youngest among them: "Go to mom's room and look, especially under the bed. If anything happens, don't yell. Come quietly and tell uncle. Uncle will have a reward."
The little girl was very well-behaved, nodded, and ran away with a smile.
Seeing this, the other two girls also hurriedly said to Zhong Kui: "Uncle, we are going too, will you give us candies too?"
"Don't go, just play here and your uncle will give you candies."
The two girls looked at each other, as if they didn't quite believe Zhong Kui's words, but they also looked helpless and nodded: "Oh."
The man brought a piece of red cloth, followed by his wife.
The two girls seemed to be quite afraid of their grandma. When they saw grandma coming in, they quickly ran away.
This old woman is really a fierce woman. She refused to let Zhong Kui enter the mother's room. She also yelled at her son for his reckless behavior, saying that if a strange man entered his wife's room, he would bring trouble.
Bad luck and so on.
Actually! This is the result of the very conservative old ideas in rural areas. A strange old-fashioned idea has been passed down from ancient times to the present. Women cannot speak to strange men. If they do, it will be a serious matter that damages their reputation and loses their integrity.
How can you enter a woman's house if you can't speak, let alone a woman who is having a difficult delivery? In this era, it seems that it doesn't matter if a person dies, but if the woman's reputation is ruined, it will be a big deal.
The mother-in-law's attitude was very obvious. It didn't matter if the mother died. Zhong Kui was not allowed to enter the house anyway.
Listening to the fragile screams coming from the maternity room, the man was restless. He knelt down with a plop in front of his old mother, looked up at her with tears on his face and said: "Mom, if the child's mother leaves, I won't be here either."
Just survive."
"You're a worthless thing. Women don't matter. You can find them after you die. If you insult your family tradition, that will be a problem for generations to come."
Zhong Kui looked at the unreasonable and shrewd woman in front of him, and compared her with the old lady at home, she was as good as in heaven or on earth...
At this moment, a little girl ran from outside, shouting: "Uncle...uncle." She was only focused on the sweets Zhong Kui promised, and did not take care of her grandma getting angry here.
"Little girl, why are you making such a fuss? Get out of here," the shrew grandma said angrily.
The little girl was startled and slowly left the house.
Seeing this, Zhong Kui was too lazy to pay attention to the old lady, so he picked up the red cloth belt and chased the little girl.
Seeing Zhong Kui chasing him out, the little girl steadied her steps. When she was sure that grandma had not come out, she nervously said to him: "There is a person under mom's bed, wearing red clothes and carrying a basket."
"Okay! Uncle will give you candies." Zhong Kui took out three candies and gave them to the little girl, one for each person.
He directly tied the red cloth belt to the back of his head. With steady steps, he came to the door of the room where the screams came from. As soon as he reached the door, he shouted out of thin air: "Suffer death!"
