Li's mother's surname is Zhang next year, eighty-seven years old this year, born in the 14th year of the Republic of China, the family is poor in the old society haha, except for renting three acres of thin land from the landlord's family, there is no source of income, the whole family has eaten the last meal, eight brothers and sisters, five starved to death, she can survive is also fateful, it is easy to grow to fifteen years old, and her parents hurriedly married her off.

Zhang's family was beautiful when she was young, and the conditions of the family she married were not bad, her father-in-law worked as a big guy in a pawnshop in the city, and her mother-in-law managed twenty acres of paddy fields, so she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and her husband was very good to her after marriage, and her life was okay.

The only trouble is that in the past two years of marriage, there has been no movement in her stomach at all, although her husband didn't say anything, but her parents-in-law gradually became indifferent to her.

Zhang's heart was depressed, and suddenly heard that there was a temple on the side of the Tuojiang River five miles away to send a child to the temple of Gui Po, which was very effective, and all people who did not have children went to pray and send incense, often within a few months they could be pregnant, she remembered it in her heart, so she took a time to find the temple with a few small snacks.

It is also strange to say that the sky is still clear on the way to the Turtle Po Temple, the sun is hot, and as soon as she steps into the temple, the weather immediately becomes gloomy, and the miserable wind is howling, and it is pitch black.

The statue of the turtle woman temple is an old turtle woman, the body is weird, the teeth are grinning, it looks very bluffing, there is no one in the temple, it is very quiet, Zhang's spirit is excited, he was scared at that time, he quickly knelt down, put the snack on the ground, kowtowed a few heads, and prayed: Turtle God, turtle God, send me a big fat boy, as long as you have a child, I will send you three animals and five snacks every year.

After chanting, she felt that the turtle goddess statue seemed to be staring at herself with her head down, she was startled, looked up tremblingly, and found that the idol was still the same, but she felt too weird in her heart, so she quickly got up and ran out.

Out of the temple, immediately the clouds cleared and the sun came out again.

Zhang looked back at the Turtle Po Temple, and said in his heart What is going on, why is it cloudy as soon as he enters the temple? If I don't come next time, it's too scary, so I hurriedly trotted all the way home.

Let's just say that that night, after Zhang and her husband had a warm stay, they both fell asleep, and suddenly had a dream at night, dreaming that they somehow walked out of the house and came to a strange thatched path, which was foggy everywhere, and they couldn't run no matter how they ran.

When she was panicking, a middle-aged woman came over in the fog in front of her, this woman looked very good-faced, and asked her with a smile: "Big sister, did you go to the Guipo Temple today to ask for a child?"

Zhang nodded, "Yes, how do you know?" ”

The woman said, "I can't hide it, I am the god of the Turtle Po Temple, I received your prayer and came to send the child, but unfortunately ......"

Zhang suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly asked, "What is a pity?"

The woman said, "You and your husband are at odds, yin and yang are out of tune, and you are destined to have no children!"

Zhang's whole person was stunned, and he was destined to have no children? So what do you have to rely on in this life? At that moment, he begged bitterly, and said O god, you have to help me.

The woman sighed, "You girl is also miserable, since you are so sincere, then I can't ignore this matter, so let's do it, tomorrow morning, there is a sesame oil seller passing by, you stop him, don't buy the sesame oil in the barrel, just ask for the bottle on his body, remember!" I have to buy it anyway, and then drink the whole bottle, and I will be pregnant in less than two months. ”

After saying that, the woman disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhang woke up early the next morning, panting, looked around, and realized that it was a dream, but this dream was a bit strange, I didn't know if it was true or not, so I simply ran outside the gate and waited to see.

Not to mention, it didn't take long to hit a vendor selling sesame oil next to him, knocking on the bamboo board and passing by.

Zhang's heart beat faster, and he hurriedly stopped the vendor and said I buy sesame oil.

The peddler looked at her empty hands and said, "If you want to buy sesame oil, you have to bring a bottle, so I can fill it from the bucket for you, right?"

Zhang shook his head, pointed at the vendor, and said I'll buy the bottle on you.

The peddler was startled, covered his arms, and said How do you know, I don't sell this bottle, I picked it up halfway, maybe it's a treasure in it.

Zhang took out all the private money and said that he could buy all your sesame oil with so much money, and now he only buys you a bottle, will you sell it?

The money is moving, the vendor happily took the money, took out the sesame oil, the bottle is not big, red and faint, and it looks very appetizing.

Zhang picked up the sesame oil and hid in a corner where no one was around, and drank it with a bang, a bang.

After drinking this bottle of sesame oil, within a few days, Zhang gradually felt that he couldn't sleep enough, and he always wanted to eat sour things, and he didn't think about pregnancy for a while, but he was discovered by his mother-in-law, and invited a doctor to come to the house to take a look, okay, there is a child.

The whole family was overjoyed, her parents-in-law and husband took care of her meticulously, and Zhang's own was very happy.

Seeing that Zhang's belly was getting bigger day by day, the whole family was carefully taking care of it, for fear that something would go wrong, and a fortune teller suddenly came outside that day, turned around at the gate of the courtyard, and entered the courtyard again, frowning and muttering.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law thought it was strange, so they stepped forward and asked the fortune teller, "Is there anything wrong with the husband?" ”

The fortune teller snapped and said, "Your family is about to be in trouble!"

My father-in-law and mother-in-law are a little angry, why is it that a catastrophe is coming? If it weren't for the fact that the other party was an outsider who was a fortune teller, he would have to be dragged to see the official today.

The father-in-law said: "What Mr. said is too unlucky, you can change it nicely, I will give you some money, and this matter will be forgotten, otherwise I don't want to."

The fortune teller was unmoved, and said coldly: "I don't take money, I don't want mundane things, I just came to wake you up, your house is covered with dark clouds, the house is red, the yin is hidden inside, and the new wind is outside, this is a sign that a demon fetus was born."

The father-in-law and mother-in-law were confused when they heard this, and when they saw that this fortune teller didn't want money, and didn't want food, and said strange things with a serious face, they immediately became nervous and asked him what he meant.

The fortune teller said, "Are there any women in your family who are waiting to give birth?"

The mother-in-law said, "Yes! What's wrong? ”

The fortune teller said, "Invite her out and I'll take a look."

The mother-in-law went into the house and took out Zhang, who was six months pregnant, and when the fortune teller saw it, his face changed greatly, and he shook his head and sighed, and said, "I want to say a word to this pregnant woman alone!"

The father-in-law and mother-in-law were not taboo, and when they stepped aside, the fortune teller walked up to the dizzy Zhang and asked in a low voice, "Did you eat something?"

Zhang had forgotten about sesame oil, shook his head and said, "What? I didn't eat anything? ”

The fortune teller whispered: "You are not pregnant, but you are a substitute for the turtle demon to give birth, and now the demon fetus has a sense, and the demon spirit has begun to appear."
