Then I divided the roasted chicken into two halves. Loach and I each took one half and ate it with big mouthfuls.
"Dongfang, I have to say, you may not be as good as me in other things, but when it comes to roasting pheasants, you really have to be my talent. When we were in Lujiacun, the pheasants you roasted were more delicious than mine.
." The loach still had chicken in his mouth, so when he spoke, his words were unclear. I had to listen very hard to understand what he was saying?
I glanced at Loach, "You kid, you don't touch your conscience when you speak. Since you were a child, why don't you force me to do anything?"
Loach laughed twice and said nothing, and went to eat the roast chicken wholeheartedly.
This righteous village has been abandoned for many years, and there are coffins everywhere. Ordinary people would probably be frightened when they come here, but I know Maoshan Taoism. And I have seen a lot of ghosts, so I have no worries in this regard.
After eating half of the roast chicken, my belly became round. I leaned against a door and assumed a comfortable posture.
"Oh, I feel so full. Would it be great if I could have a cup of hot tea at this time?" Loach touched his belly and half-squinted his eyes.
"You kid, just be content with yourself! In this place where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs, it's pretty good to have a fragrant pheasant to eat. What else do you want?" I said lazily.
The loach laughed "hehe" a few times, and then stopped talking.
Since we had to wait until it got dark at night before we could move, Loach and I chatted all over the place.
"Hey, Dongfang, let me ask you something!"
I opened my eyes and looked at Loach. "What do you want to ask me?"
"Have you ever heard the story of Lao Li with a rabbit tail?"
I nodded, "I heard it!"
"Then tell me!"
I just had a full meal and I felt very lazy. In fact, I didn’t really want to talk.
But looking at Loach's longing eyes, I still told Loach all the legends I knew about Bald-tailed Old Li.
The legend of Bald-tailed Old Li was widely circulated throughout Shandong. Later, Shandong people immigrated to various parts of the Northeast. Therefore, the three northeastern provinces also had stories of Bald-tailed Old Li, and the storylines passed down were similar. However, other areas called Bald-tailed Old Li,
Only Zhucheng is called Bald-tailed Lao Li. The legend goes like this:
There is a farmer whose surname is Li Han, and he is known as Li Han. Even though he is called Li Han, he is actually a capable man, so smart! Li Han is as strong as an ox, and he is an expert in the work of farmers. When does farming?
, which item makes money, it’s almost always the same. At the same time, he also has a superb carpentry job. Due to his careful calculation, his life is prosperous. His wife’s name is Taohong, she is smart, handsome and virtuous, and everyone praises them.
Kouzi should be happy and happy, but he never looks satisfied. He frowns all day long, talks little, eats poorly, sleeps poorly, and can't bring himself to have any energy. What's worrying them? It turns out that the two of them are worried.
The couple has a heart problem and is already in their 40s. They have slept on the same bed for more than 20 years and there is still not a man or a woman around them. What’s the use of living a prosperous life? The couple spends the whole day looking forward to the baby and closing their eyes to think.
Girl, she sought medical advice, prayed to Buddha and knelt down to heaven, but it was of no avail. Her neighbors all said that the couple was in an evil relationship.
In the spring of this year, Taohong wanted to vomit, her body became heavier and heavier, her belly bulged day by day, and she was really pregnant. As soon as Li Han heard that his wife was pregnant, he was so happy that he felt like he had a dream of flying to the sky.
.
As the saying goes, a pregnancy lasts ten months and the baby is delivered once. But there was still no movement from Taohong for many days after the first month. The couple was extremely anxious. Strangely enough, the baby was born on the eleventh month, which was the Year of the Dragon. Listen.
When they heard that Taohong had given birth, Li Han hurriedly entered the house. When he took a closer look, he saw that this was not a baby. It was clearly a meat ball. The meat ball was round and rolling all over the floor. Li Han thought that this must be a monster, a disaster star, and it would be a disaster to keep it.
, he picked up the scissors ready to cut the umbilical cord, aimed at the flesh ball, and cut it off ruthlessly. Suddenly, a small green worm jumped out of the flesh ball and flew to the ridge of the roof. Li Han only wanted to have a child in his prime, but he didn't expect to give birth to a child.
I caught a small green worm, I was so angry that I picked up a shovel, jumped a foot high, shoveled it towards the small green worm on the ridge, and shoveled off the tail of the small long worm. The small long worm came from the ridge of the roof.
It fell down and fell right into his mother's arms, with tears still dripping down her face.
Taohong was startled at first, then frightened. At the same time, she was angry with her husband for not caring about whether she lived or died. She was frightened, frightened, and angry all over her body. She was in confinement again, and then she became seriously ill and was bleeding profusely from her lower body. She turned around and looked,
Half of the little long insect lay bloody beside her, stretching and hurting unbearably. Taohong thought: No matter it is a monster or a monster, it is the flesh that fell from her body after all. In this case, she took the disabled little long insect and touched it again and again.
He touched him, kissed him again and again, and wiped the blood from his injured area. The little long insect remained motionless in his mother's arms and was held by her mother for three hours. The little long insect did not eat or drink, and grew whenever the wind blew.
After only three hours, he had grown to more than four feet tall. At this time, he said to his mother, Taohong: "Mom! Your son and I are already able to stand on our own. I want to thank my mother for her gift of giving birth. I will leave her today until I can survive on my own."
Go somewhere." After saying that, he nodded three times towards his mother, and a flash of lightning flew away without a trace in the blink of an eye. When Taohong saw the little long insect flew away, her husband Li Han fell to the ground angrily, tilting his head and disappearing.
I'm angry, this day happens to be May 13th in the ancient calendar.
Because the little long insect was named Li and had no tail, people later called him "Bald-tailed Old Li". Bald-tailed Old Li flew up with a flash of lightning, first entered the Yellow River, entered the Bohai Sea from the Yellow River, and flew from the Bohai Sea to Heilongjiang.
At that time, there was a white dragon living in Heilongjiang. Since coming to Heilongjiang, this white dragon has done all kinds of evil. It has been flooding rivers and seas all day long, blowing wind and rain, flooding crops, knocking down houses, bullying men and women, and making the people uneasy.
The people hated the white dragon, but there was no way to drive it away. Bald-tailed Old Li was a divine dragon. He had long known that there was an evil white dragon in Heilongjiang, and he wanted to get rid of the evil for the local people. Bald-tailed Old Li heard that the local people
There are many people from Shandong, especially those from Zhucheng who live in more than 20 households. After he came to Heilongjiang, he entrusted a dream to the people in Zhucheng and told the people in Shandong that when he was fighting with Bailong, if he saw white waves on the river, it was the white dragon on top.
, please throw lime into the river, and it will be me who turns out black waves. Please throw some cakes into the river. Because the bald-tailed old Li is a green dragon, it is difficult to distinguish between green and black in the water, so later generations call him the bald-tailed old man.
Li is a black dragon. Early the next morning, people on both sides of the strait transported lime and cakes to the shore early.
