Legend of Red cockscomb

Once upon a time, there was a Wuxiang Ridge in Funiu Mountain, under which lived a family surnamed Zhang. When the old man died in his early years, mother and son depended on each other. Seeing that her son had reached the age of 27 or 28 and had not yet decided on a marriage, the mother was very anxious. One day, my son Shuangxi went to the mountain to cut firewood. When he came back, it was already late, and the hazy moonlight shone on the hillside path. Suddenly, there was the cry of a woman in front. Shuangxi put down the firewood and went forward to see that it was a beautiful girl of 17 or 18 years old, sitting on the roadside stone crying.

Shuangxi thought that it was so late and the girl was still sitting here. There must be something embarrassing, so she hurried over to ask. The girl stopped crying, looked at Shuangxi and said, "my parents found me a mother-in-law, and my son-in-law was furious before she passed the door. I went to mourn him and lost my way here. Please help me." Shuangxi was an honest man, so he took the girl home. When his mother saw that her son had brought back a girl, the girl shouted to her mother shyly, so happy that she didn't know what to say.

The next day, the girl got up early, finished grooming and was about to go to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law cook, only to find a big red rooster behind her, with upside down neck hair, cackling and pouncing at her. She was startled and hurriedly hid behind her mother-in-law. Shuangxi picked up a stick and beat the rooster hard, and the rooster ran away. The girl got sick in this way, and Shuangxi and his mother were so anxious that they didn't know what to do and had to ask them several times a day. The girl frowned and said, "I'd like some chicken soup." Mother and son heard that one was busy catching chickens and the other was busy boiling water, but the rooster ran and flew, watching the girl's house bark.

Double happy, a bumpy hit on the old rooster. The old rooster flapped on the ground for a few times, then struggled to run back to the mountain. The old rooster flew away and never came back, and the girl gradually recovered from her illness. One night, the old lady went to bring her wheat kernel soup. She just raised the curtain and saw a big centipede lying on the bed. With a cry of "oops", she sat down on the floor and beat the bowl. The centipede heard the noise, turned over, looked like the girl again, and jumped out of bed. Just then, double happiness came back, and the girl was afraid that the old lady would expose her true face. Just try to force the old lady away. She sat down on the ground and began to cry. "Oh, it's so hard to be a wife," she said. If you say something wrong, you will drop the bowl and tell me what to do! " Said he was going to leave pretentiously.

Double happiness hurriedly stopped, left and right persuasion can be counted as not making trouble. The old lady didn't dare to sleep all night. The next day, she called Shuangxi to her room and told her everything about the night. Just then, when the girl came back, she came into the room and knew that the matter had been exposed. She rolled her eyes and made up her mind. She said to Shuangxi, "I know your mother hates me and is speaking ill of me, and I won't make it difficult for you." With that, he pretended to jump into the river and ran out in tears. Double happiness could not give up this coquettish and flirtatious woman and hurriedly grabbed it. The girl said, "I gave you everything, and in the end it came to this!" Pretending to earn money. Double happiness pointed to his mother angrily: "Oh, you."... "

Seeing that double happiness did not believe his mother's words, the girl forced him to say, "is it better for your mother to treat you or me to treat you? who can stay with you for the rest of your life?" Double happiness hurriedly said: "want you, want you." The old lady wept away when she saw that her son was obsessed with his mind. A few days later, the woman said to Shuangxi, "I've been out for so many days. I want to go back tonight. Did you miss the trip?" Double happiness hurriedly said: "medium, medium!" After drinking the soup, they walked up the hill together.

It turned out that the centipede essence became refined in a cave in the west of the mountain. It often turned into a beautiful woman, confused young people, and then killed people and drank their brains. Centipede essence is made by eating the brains of young people, and many young people are deceived and die at its hands. When the old lady was around, she didn't dare to do it easily, so she tried every means to force the old lady away.

At this time, they came to the ridge and saw that there was no one around, and the centipede essence spurted a poisonous fire on Shuangxi. Shuangxi only felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a fight. Centipede essence is about to start, only listen to "cackle" a few times, that red old rooster does not know where to come from, open a sharp mouth, to the centipede essence to peck. The centipede essence rolled on the spot, showed its original shape, spread its teeth and claws, and greeted it. They struggled back and forth until dawn when the old rooster pecked a hole in the centipede's head, and the centipede turned over several times and died. But the old rooster also fell to the ground tired to death.

In the morning, Shuangxi woke up and saw a big centipede and a red old rooster dead beside him. Only then did he understand why the woman saw the old rooster scared a disease. He buried the old rooster on the top of the hill and cried bitterly. Later, a flower grew in the place where the old rooster was buried, which was exactly the same as the crown of the cock. From a distance, it looked like a red rooster standing there with its head held high. People all said that the rooster had changed. He named the flower "cockscomb flower" and changed the Wuling Ling into Jinjiling. It is said that up to now, wherever there is cockscomb, there is no centipede.
