Women in the old society are not as well-informed as modern girls, and Zhang, an illiterate rural woman, was frightened by the fortune teller, and suddenly remembered the matter of sesame oil, and suddenly panicked, and stammered: "I, I just drank a bottle of sesame oil, what, what's wrong?"

The fortune teller sighed and said: "That's right, the turtle temple is not a god, it is a turtle demon, has been looking for someone to give birth to a child for it, and finally chose you, you were destined to have no children in this life, that bottle of sesame oil is just the filth of the turtle demon, you drank it before you became pregnant, and then gave birth to the child of the turtle demon, this child is a demon, after the human womb, it is more conducive to cultivation, it has no humanity, it will kill your family, make your family ruined, and finally lonely, if you don't do well, it will be eaten by it, and bite to death!"

Zhang's face turned pale, and he asked anxiously, "So, what should I do?"

The fortune teller said: "If you want to protect your family and survive this catastrophe, it is easy, I have a method here, you remember, you start tomorrow, every morning on three poles, carrying two catties of brown sugar, a candle, on time to the south of the river under the big willow tree, light a candle, sprinkle off the brown sugar, kneel on the brown sugar and kowtow three times, within five days, this demon fetus will inevitably melt away by itself, but you must remember!" If that turtle demon asks you who you've been here, you must not tell her! ”

Zhang hurriedly said, "Uh-huh, remember!"

The fortune teller nodded, turned around and walked away with a relaxed face.

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law gathered around her and asked her what the fortune teller had said.

Zhang's head is a mess, he hasn't figured it out yet, how dare he tell his parents-in-law? I casually said a few words, but fortunately, my in-laws didn't understand and didn't ask much, just let her take care of the fetus and give birth to a child better than anything else.

After entering the house, Zhang touched his stomach and thought about it for a long time, but his mother's love was overflowing, and he left the fortune teller's words behind him, not planning to do what he said.

Who knew that after a while, her mother's brother came to visit her, and the sister and brother chatted casually, and the younger brother saw that she was worried, so he found an interesting thing to tease her, saying that when I just came, I saw a fortune teller, who hit his head on the big willow tree by the river, and disappeared all of a sudden, do you say strange?

"Gone?" Zhang was startled, why did the fortune teller crash into the willow tree and disappear?

After her brother left, she was entangled again, shouldn't the fortune teller be a fairy? Otherwise, how could a big living person get into the willow tree?

After thinking about it all night, the next morning she quietly brought two catties of brown sugar and a candle, and said I'll try it, if there is really movement, it means that what the fortune teller said is true, if there is no movement, then he is talking nonsense.

When I arrived at the willow tree by the river, I saw that this big willow tree was from the year and month, and the three of them couldn't hug it, and the bushes were lush and green, covering a large area.

She pondered for a while, then lit the candle, sprinkled a slice of brown sugar, knelt down and kowtowed, and felt that there was nothing wrong, and said in her heart, the fortune teller was really a liar, and turned around and went home.

As soon as I arrived at home, my stomach suddenly hurt, and soon my waist couldn't straighten up.

The in-laws and husband were frightened, and hurriedly went to ask the doctor, and after the doctor came, he finished the pulse, saying that he had moved the fetal gas and prescribed a bunch of fetal pills, but after drinking the medicine, Zhang's pain was still unbearable, and he was lying on the bed and screaming over and over.

It wasn't until the evening that it was a little better, Zhang fell asleep in a daze, and just fell asleep here, and dreamed of the path, the turtle goddess came again, and asked her in a loud voice: "What did you do?" Who's talking nonsense? How can the fetus I send you scream for no reason? ”

Zhang didn't dare to hide it, and one day he suffered an old crime, and he resented the fortune teller, so he told the matter in one go, saying that a fortune teller said something to me, and asked me how to do it, and I crashed into the willow tree and disappeared.

The god of the turtle woman "oops", "You are so stupid, that fortune teller is a willow tree who specializes in eating other people's fetuses, how can you listen to him?" ”

Zhang was frightened and hurriedly called for help, "What should I do?" ”

The turtle woman pondered for a moment, took out a pill from her pocket, asked Zhang to open her mouth, fed her, and said through gritted teeth: "Don't be afraid! This willow spirit is not shallow, I will treat him tomorrow, you don't care, take care of the fetus. ”

The next morning, Zhang woke up, his stomach didn't hurt anymore, and his spirit was much better.

At this time, the husband hurried back from outside and said to her, "Daughter-in-law, do you know the hundred-year-old willow tree by the river in front? I was bitten by something this morning. ”

When Zhang heard this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he touched his stomach and calmed down again.

That night, as soon as she fell asleep, she dreamed of a bloody man, and the silhouette was the fortune teller, shouting at her, "Zhang's family, Zhang's family, I was kind enough to save your whole family, how can you take revenge?" My death is not far off the end of a catastrophe for your family. ”

With that, he disappeared.

Zhang felt like he was about to go crazy, he just wanted a child, why was there so much to do?

Ten days later, the husband was arrested and went to fight the devils, but a week later the bad news came, saying that he had been shattered by a cannon.

Before he could recover from his grief, his father-in-law had a conflict with someone in the city and was beaten to death.

Zhang's and his mother-in-law cried dead and alive, and after the two of them were reined in, they lived on twenty acres of paddy fields, fortunately, Zhang's had a child in his belly, who could leave incense for the family and a hope.

The day of childbirth is getting closer and closer, this night of storm, lightning and thunder, Zhang accompanied his mother-in-law was holding the soles of his shoes, and suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, and then it hurt more and more.

Not long after, the mother-in-law and the midwife hurried back, pushed open the door and looked at the bed, and they were all stunned on the spot.

I saw Zhang lying motionless, fainting, his stomach was deflated, but there was no child on the bed, and there was blood on the ground.

Where is the child? The mother-in-law and the midwife were so surprised that they searched all over the house, and even rummaged through the yard, but there was nothing.

The mother-in-law's face was pale, as if she had lost all her strength, and she sat on the edge of the bed dryly, waiting for Zhang to wake up.

After Zhang woke up, she cried a lot when she saw that the child was gone, but when her mother-in-law asked her, she was also confused, saying that she was in pain and fainted at that time, and then she didn't know anything.

The mother-in-law couldn't stand the blow, so she fell ill the next day, and returned to the west within two days.

Within three months, the whole family died, the family changed miserably, no one could stand this matter, Zhang's grief-stricken, after asking someone to bury his mother-in-law, his head became abnormal, running around the village all day long, muttering nervously looking for children, and no one took care of the fields at home, and it didn't take long for her uncle and brother to take it away, and said that she was a dead star, and drove her out of the house.

Her mother's family also disliked her bad luck and didn't let her enter the house, but she was afraid that she would starve to death, so they built a small grass hut for her to live in and delivered two meals a day.

That night, after Zhang's fell asleep, the god of the turtle woman, who had not seen him for a long time, came to dream again, and this time the god of the turtle woman changed her face and was panicked, and knelt down for her with a pop.
