Folk story of southern Fujian: killing tiger brothers

Once upon a time, on a mountainside in southern Fujian, there was a small village. There were dense forests in front of and behind the village, and wild animals often appeared. There is a family in the village, whose parents died young, and three brothers went up the mountain to chop wood together during the day and picked up the market to change rations. In the evening, they followed the ancestral training and practiced martial arts and self-defense together, but they also practiced good boxing for a long time.

Because of poor family and difficulties in making a living, the boss took the villagers across the ocean to work in Nanyang. A few years later, the second and third children in their hometown were married and lived separately. For a time, tigers were often found in the village, and the villagers were very upset. Seeing this situation, the two brothers discussed going up the mountain to kill tigers for the people. I asked the blacksmith to build a pair of steel forks and a pair of short iron sticks as weapons to fight tigers.

So the two brothers lay in ambush on the mountain with steel forks and iron bars. Near dusk, a cold wind blew, and I saw a tiger rush out of the jungle. The third young man pointed a steel fork at the tiger. When the tiger saw someone in the way, he stood and stared at them. The old man shook the steel fork in front of the tiger a few times, which made the tiger shake out of its mouth. Huh? Bang, it jumped with its front legs and jumped off it. The third one immediately put the steel fork on the tiger's neck. The tiger was stuck in mid-air with a steel fork and its front legs kicked around. At this time, the second child hurriedly broke the tiger's two front legs with an iron bar. The tiger broke its front leg and couldn't shake it any more. Both brothers raised iron forks and iron bars and hit the tiger. After a while, the tiger died, and the two of them carried the dead tiger back to the village.

Since then, the two brothers have been fighting tigers for a living, but life has always been satisfactory. One night, Lao San told his wife how the two brothers cooperated with each other when fighting tigers. Hearing this, the wife was very dissatisfied. She thinks that her husband always makes great efforts to cross the tiger's neck, while her second brother saves a lot of effort and even shares the benefits equally, which is really unreasonable. The husband can't stand her encouragement and feels miserable. In this way, the husband and wife played a small abacus and decided to go to the mountains to shoot tigers in the future without inviting the second brother.

The next day, the second child had something to go out. The old couple went up the mountain alone with steel forks and iron bars and lay in ambush for a while. A tiger wandered out from the depths of the forest. At the sight of the tiger coming, the husband picked up the steel fork and skillfully dealt with the tiger several times, then set it free. At this time, when his wife saw the tiger, she was so scared that she could hardly stand and almost fainted. When the husband saw that his wife couldn't help him, he panicked and shouted for help. He knew in his heart that if he couldn't break the tiger's front legs, he would rarely die for the rest of his life. At the critical moment, I saw his eldest brother holding a big axe and his second brother holding an iron bar.

It turned out that the boss made a living in Nanyang for many years, but he was homesick and invited several fellow villagers back to his hometown. As soon as the boss stepped into the house, the second child followed. When the two brothers met, they couldn't find a third couple. They asked the wife of the second child, only to know that they had gone up the mountain to fight tigers. When the two brothers heard this, they had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. The eldest brother quickly grabbed the axe for chopping wood, and the second brother picked up the iron bar that killed the tiger and took the path to catch up with the mountain. Seeing the stalemate between man and tiger, the eldest brother and the third son waved axes and iron bars respectively, and the two front legs of the tiger were discounted one by one. The tiger lay dead on the ground, and the third tiger lay on the ground feebly panting.

With this lesson, Lao San's wife never dared to gossip again. Brothers and sisters are more closely related. ? Brother tiger? This sentence spread in southern Fujian.

Folk tales in southern Fujian: allusions of many children starving their fathers.

There is a saying called. Many children are hungry, Dad? . This story is based on Jiulong River.

In the early years, there was an old man named Xiao. He has four sons: the firstborn, the second and the fourth are his own sons. The third child was raised by an inspector. Old Xiao Man worked hard to raise his four sons, married his wife and became a family. Old Xiao Man gave each of them a piece of property. He gave the land to the boss; Gave a shop to the second child; Let the third learn to slaughter and give him a bear to sell meat; Old four went to school, but didn't get into a scholar, and later became a shopkeeper. When the old couple got older, they asked their four sons to take turns to take care of the food.

It's the twelfth lunar month, and it's the boss's turn to take care of the meal. On the 29th of New Year's Day, the north wind roared, making people tremble with cold. The old couple ate a few mouthfuls of porridge from sunrise in the morning and waited until sunset, but no one brought any food.

At this time, the neighbors in the east, a family around the stove, eating dinner, crackling firecrackers kept coming. Cold and hungry, the old couple curled up on the kang in a daze. The old woman said:? Old man, it seems that we will starve to death for the New Year today! ? The old man said, old woman, I'm afraid I'm ready to starve! ? (? Hungry? Dialect and? Fairy? Homophonic. ? Positive? Correction month)

Did their son forget to take care of their meals? Don't forget!

The boss went to the field to collect vegetables all morning. When he came home with a car full of cauliflower, garlic, celery and mustard, it was already afternoon. My wife used face washing water to wipe her face and feet, only to remember that it was time to send her father dinner, so she asked. Mom, did you bring some bowls of hot and rotten good things to your parents? ? Hearing this, the eldest daughter-in-law looked unhappy and said, Today is New Year's Eve. Four sons have four meals. Can two old people eat them all? Besides, I've been eating for a whole month, so it doesn't matter if I send less of this meal. ? The boss thinks it makes sense. If you don't send it, you won't send it. He called all the children, big and small, home and ate the New Year's Eve dinner around the stove. .

The second child went to the store after the phone call that day, closed the store door and went home. As soon as I entered the door, I asked, Mom, have you finished eating? The voice of the second daughter-in-law came from the kitchen: coming, coming! ? When the second child entered the hall, he saw the table covered with steamed cakes, fried fish, roast duck and stewed chicken? Hot, delicious and drooling, the second child picked a few and shouted at the kitchen. Mom, I'll give these samples to my parents to taste, and then we'll eat around the stove! ?

At this moment, the second daughter-in-law rushed out of the kitchen with a poker in her hand and shouted? Slow? ! The second child looked at his wife's face, from sunny to cloudy, not good! Just listen to my wife, don't pretend to be a dutiful son with me. You have a brother above and a younger brother below, with only a quarter of the property. Besides, if all four brothers deliver meals tonight, won't the two old people die?

What the second child said makes sense. Besides, it's the boss's turn to take care of the meal today, so why should I reinvent the wheel?

Besides, Lao Si also brought a big bag of Chinese New Year gifts to his boss. When he got home, he shouted as soon as he stepped on the threshold. Mother, did you send some delicious food to honor your old parents? Old four's wife is busy around, which is very annoying! ? You only know how to honor your parents. Did he give you Jinshan or Yinshan? Good fields and good houses don't let the light above split? Why not be a dutiful son? If you want to be filial, move in with your mother. ?

Old four grabbed a few words for his wife, and even dared not say anything. He obediently rolled up his sleeves and helped his wife up. ?

The old man went to the countryside early in the morning to sell pork, and didn't finish it until it was too loud, so he hurried slowly. It's almost time to turn on the light when I get home, and my wife has already served the hot New Year's Eve dinner.

The third way:? The baby's mother. Pick some stews for mom and dad. ? The wife of the third child said: You should also be a dutiful son. His own three children are not enough for the old couple to eat. Do you want me to drive you? Moreover, they divide the family wealth greatly, and the house is also well divided. No matter how filial you are, you are an adopted son. You can't kiss. The third unhappy said; ? Mother of the baby, don't say that. My third child is where he is today. Thanks to our parents' support, we can't be ungrateful! ? Say, say, use a lunch box to pick some pig's trotters and liver, let the son carry it with him and go to the old house to honor his parents.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my parents huddled in the corner of the pit, and the lights were not on. I quickly asked; ? Dad, mom, have you eaten? Xiao asked the old man with his eyes open; ? Dinner, lunch or dinner. Haven't you had lunch yet? The third child was surprised and warmed Wang Laoxian's trotters, liver and stomach. Then explain your son, go back and call your mother and take your grandparents home for the New Year?
