I remember that when I was young, one summer night, the weather was extremely sultry. After a good dinner, the people in the village, in twos and threes, took pu fans and brought mats to cool off at the ancient well in front of the village. That place was basically the only place in the village to enjoy the shade every summer before. Sometimes people chatted and chatted until midnight. When they were sleepy, they lay down on the mat and took a nap, and went home at dawn. The story was told by an old lady at Iguchi. The story happened in the 1940s, when she was young and her family was very poor. Her father was a part-time job for the landlord’s house, and her mother took the children at home. There were grandparents on it. A family of children lived in two thatched houses. One year her mother was pregnant. It was also summer. She couldn’t sleep in the hot weather. At night, her grandmother took her with her and waited until the dead of night to go outside the house. For a while, her mother wanted to sleep outside. Her grandmother always said that pregnant people can’t sleep under the moon. It’s easy to get some dirty things. But one day, the weather was too hot. Her grandfather and father They all went out to the village to cool off in the woods. Her mother probably couldn’t stand the heat in the thatched house, so she ran out in the middle of the night and slept with her grandma. Her grandma said you were outside to cool off for a while and go back to the house. Go to sleep! Never sleep outside again. Her mother agreed, but after a while, her mother fell asleep because she hadn’t rested for a long time. She fell asleep and fell asleep in a daze. She heard something talking behind her. I barely opened my eyes and turned my head to look at the place where the sound was made. It didn’t matter, I saw a short, round, round nose and eyes, like a fleshy melon, and crawled towards her. When she came, her mother screamed in shock, but the thing climbed on her mother and disappeared. Her grandma woke up when she heard the sound, and asked what was going on. Her mother didn’t dare to say anything, and then went back to the house. But since then, her mother has had a bad omen, and she’s worried every day.

One night not long ago, her mother was giving birth, so her grandmother went to the neighboring village to find a midwife. After the midwife came The floor in the house was swept clean, and some dry lime was sprinkled on it, and her mother was told to lie on it. Her grandmother helped to boil some boiling water outside, and burned the scissors brought by the midwife on the fire. Wiped. When she was ready for work ahead of time, her grandmother accompanied the midwife to gossiping in the house, and the man waited outside. At about two or three at night, her mother was about to give birth. When the midwife saw what was born, she took a breath and ran out with her grandma without cutting the umbilical cord. His father was outside. Busy asking what’s going on, the midwife trembling and breathlessly said: He was born with a bloody, head and body, but underneath it was covered with dozens of things with snake-like tails. His When the father heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly ran into the house to look around, only to find that the thing had crawled into his wife’s arms to feed on, and the pregnant woman was scared to death. Her father runsShe took the wire and ran into the house, but was stopped by her grandma and asked him what he wanted to do. He said he was going to shovel it in the house. Her grandma said what if she shoveled the pregnant woman. Her grandma thought for a while, so she went to the door of the house and said to the thing like coaxing a child: You come out and someone will play with you . The thing bit and didn’t move, her grandma said again: Come out and take a shower for you, the thing looked up and still didn’t move.

At this time, the midwife secretly touched her grandma’s ear and said something, so her grandma went to another room to get one A new kid’s dress, the midwife told her father to stand outside the door with a shovel. Her grandmother stood at the door with the dress in her hand and shouted: Come out, look at making a flower dress for you Well, at this time, the thing actually got up when seeing the clothes. She snapped the umbilical cord and crawled towards the door. Her grandma took the clothes and slowly backed away. When the thing climbed to the door, her father picked it up. The shovel shoveled down and shoveled in half from the middle. At this time, the headed half babbled like a child crying, while the lower half looked like dozens of snakes entangled, tumbling and struggling. At this time, her grandmother and midwife ran into the house to check on the pregnant woman, and his father wanted to use a shovel to get the freak outside and throw it away. The midwife said that it should not be thrown away to prevent it from harming people and call her father. Get a guillotine (used to feed the animals for guillotine), smash the tail a little bit, and bring the headed part to the village entrance temple and burn it with a peach wood fire.
