Will wolves also have difficulty in giving birth to in ? The woman passed through the woods late at night and risked her life to deliver to a wild wolf. Unexpectedly, she continued to eat meat afterward, and in the end she saved the lives of her whole family.
In the late Song Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, there was a very skilled midwife in Lincheng County. Her surname was no longer known. Because her husband's surname was Zhao, she was called the Zhao family. She started helping people deliver babies when she was young. No matter how difficult the situation of the pregnant woman was at that time, as long as she took action, the lives of adults and children could be saved.
The midwife
And she is not only very skilled in delivering babies, she is also very kind . Because she relies on a good craft to make money, Zhao's life is quite comfortable, so she often helps her fellow villagers, and also helps young students from poor families in the village. In the poor families who were in poverty, she not only delivered babies for free, but also used her own money to help them tide over the difficulties. She also gained the reputation of "Aunt Zhao".
Poor scholar
Such a superb technology requires a lot of practical experience in . The summary of is naturally not something that a fledgling young person can summarize by himself, but learned from her mother. Zhao Aniang's mother was a well-known midwife from all over the country. Naturally, she taught her daughter all these housekeeping skills. Zhao Aniang's good marriage also came from her mother's good craftsmanship.
When Zhao Aniang's mother-in-law was pregnant, she originally wanted to find Zhao Aniang's mother to help her deliver the baby. However, Zhao Aniang's mother was also pregnant at the time, so she had no choice but to find someone else. Unexpectedly, when gave birth to , had dystocia. , the child will not be born for a long time.
Dystocia
Seeing that Zhao's mother was getting weaker and weaker, and everyone didn't know what to do, suddenly a servant thought of Zhao's mother and asked whether she should invite this grandmother from a neighboring village to come and deliver the baby.
When he heard that there was a feasible solution, Zhao's father didn't care about anything else and immediately sent his servants to ask for someone. At this time, grandma was pregnant for more than eight months. Not to mention that her body was very heavy and heavy, and she really couldn't withstand the mental exertion. However, after hearing the entreaties from the servants of the Zhao family, she still said nothing and dragged her heavy body. He hurried to the Zhao Mansion, fearing that he would be a step late and see the tragedy of killing two people. Grandma followed the servants hurriedly and slowly, and it only took nearly half the time to arrive at the Zhao Mansion in less than half the time as usual.
Pregnant and on the road
After seeing Zhao’s mother’s situation, grandma immediately ordered her servants to do things. The servants performed their duties and immediately got busy. In the busy and orderly atmosphere of silence, the servants would spend a quarter of an hour. Finally, the cry of baby broke the dull and oppressive atmosphere. As the midwife said " mother and child are safe ", the atmosphere in the Zhao family immediately became much more relaxed, and Father Zhao's heart that had been hanging in his throat was relieved. Finally, I put it in my stomach, and my grandma was already so tired that she collapsed on the ground sweating profusely.
Mother and child are safe.
When Father Zhao prepared the money and was about to thank Grandma, he noticed that Grandma was looking very embarrassed. He felt even more grateful, so he proposed to Grandma that if Grandma’s child was a daughter, the two families would get married. It is in-laws . If it is a boy, he is considered an adopted son. Grandma saw that the Zhao family was well off and her master was kind and repaying kindness, so she had no reason not to agree. So Zhao's father immediately issued a written document to settle the matter.
According to
, 15 days after grandma helped Zhao's mother deliver the baby, she gave birth to her own cute and well-behaved daughter, and taught her daughter everything she could while she was growing up. When Zhao Aniang was 17 years old, Zhao Aniang has grown into a slim girl, and because she is engaged in midwifery, she is full of awe of life, and is already a well-known midwife in the nearby village. The Zhao family is also a trustworthy person, and they fulfilled their promise to marry into the family and became the wife of Zhao Sheng, the son of the Zhao family.
Ancient Marriage
Because the Zhao family lived a prosperous life and did not need their daughter-in-law to work hard, and they did not want their daughter-in-law to appear in public, Zhao Aniang did not go out to deliver babies in two years.
Although the couple loved each other and lived a harmonious life, Zhao Aniang never became pregnant in two years. Many people thought it was because she watched too much Shitaiyanliangliang when she was delivering the baby. God did not want her to experience this, so he deprived her of motherhood. s right. As more people said it, everyone took it as the truth. From then on, Zhao Aniang no longer cared about other people's opinions, returned to her old profession, and continued to deliver babies, thinking that she was accumulating good fortune for herself.
Ancient Mansion
One day ten years later, the local county magistrate's concubine in the 6th house had a difficult delivery. In desperation, he invited Aniang Zhao to the house to help deliver the baby. After five hours of busy work, the mother and child were both safe, and she was born. is famous for in the county.
Later, she was invited to the county town to deliver a baby. It was already late at night when everything was settled. In order to rush back to prepare fetal medicine for her neighbors, she declined the offer of the mother's family to stay and hurried home on foot, thinking of getting pregnant. She wanted to go home as soon as possible so as not to miss her family. In addition, the moonlight was very bright that night. Zhao Aniang took a shortcut and needed to pass through the forest, but she saw a wild wolf halfway through the forest. Stare at her.
When she was so frightened that her scalp was numb, , her first reaction was to turn around and run away, but she was so frightened that her legs became weak and she could not move at all. After staying in a stalemate for a while, Zhao Aniang discovered that was wild The wolf had no intention of harming , but kept walking back and forth around her, as if he wanted to lead her somewhere.
Wild Wolf's behavior made Zhao Aniang bolder. She followed Wild Wolf tentatively for a few steps, and found that the wolf was indeed leading the way, and would look back at her from time to time, as if to confirm that she was there. Didn't keep up.
Not long after leaving, she entered a cave under the leadership of the wild wolf. In the cave, she saw a female wolf with a round belly lying on the ground, blood flowing down the female wolf's hind legs, Zhao Aniang Then I realized that the wild wolf blocking the road wanted me to deliver to its mate .
Although he was still afraid of wild wolves, he couldn't bear to see the female wolf in pain, so he had the courage to go to to deliver to the female wolf. With her help, the female wolf gave birth to 6 lovely wolf pups safely when it was getting dark. Zhao Aniang sat on the ground to rest, while male wolf placed the rabbit he had caught next to her. Understanding that this was a thank you gift from the male wolf, Zhao Aniang did not refuse. After her physical strength recovered, male wolf escorted back. When we got to the road, we saw her figure slowly disappearing, and then we turned around and returned to the forest.
Only when Zhao Aniang returned home did she find that the servants in Zhao's mansion were making a mess . After careful questioning, she found out that it was her husband, Zhao Sheng, who saw that it was already late but still did not see her coming home, so he ordered the servants in the mansion. Went looking for him, but couldn't find anyone all night long.
When she told her family that she gave birth to a wild wolf at night, everyone didn't believe it at first. It wasn't until Zhao Aniang took out the rabbit as a thank you gift from the male wolf that she was doubtful and spread the news. After going out, Zhao Aniang got another title of "wolfbirthmother".
Wolf cubs
In the following months, some prey such as hares and pheasants would often be left at her door. They were obviously directly killed by some animal. Everyone guessed that it was those two animals. The wolf gave the mother-in-law a thank you gift, and the family members were convinced that she had delivered the baby to the wild wolf.
Wolves prey on prey
Out of worry, when she went out to deliver babies, someone was always with her, and she never encountered such a thing again. As time goes by, although the title " wolf birth mother " is still mentioned by everyone from time to time, the impact of the matter has gradually weakened, and few people are talking about because of this. Zhao Aniang is still working as a midwife, but she no longer goes out alone.
In the rainy season five years later, it was like a big hole had been opened in the sky. The heavy rain had been falling for five days and five nights, with no sign of stopping. The water in the pond in front of Zhao's courtyard was almost overflowing. .
When the Zhao Mansion was built, it was far away from where the villagers lived. It was built in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers. It was originally a residential place with excellent feng shui, but in such weather, it always makes people feel a little uneasy. , but looking at the solid courtyard walls built, the uneasiness in my heart gradually dissipated.
The Mansion in the Heavy Rain
One night not long after, when everyone was resting, they suddenly heard the dog in the yard roaring, and then heard the servants shouting in panic, saying that a wolf was coming, the servants They all stood up in a hurry and confronted the wolf with weapons, but no one dared to move rashly.
Zhao Sheng and Zhao Aniang heard the noise and got up and went out to check. As soon as they appeared, they saw the six wolves that were standing there motionless and began to spin in circles .
Seeing the movements of some familiar with , Zhao Aniang suddenly remembered the six wolf cubs she had delivered. Just when she was still carefully identifying them, and everyone in saw in shock that one of them suddenly went towards the two owners. Running in the direction, the servants were about to stop him, but were stopped by Zhao Aniang. She saw the wolf holding 's own clothes in its mouth and walking forward, thinking that this group of wolves needed help.
After discussing with her husband, the two of them followed the six wolves forward together. Others in the house were worried about the safety of the two of them, so followed them cautiously. When everyone walked onto the road, Not long after leaving the Zhao Mansion, the mountain behind the Zhao Mansion suddenly erupted into a mudslide , burying the entire Zhao Mansion.
Just when the entire Zhao family was rejoicing for their survival , the six wild wolves turned around and ran into the nearby woods, and soon disappeared. Everyone then understood that the wild wolves were sensing Hearing that there might be a mudslide, he was worried about his benefactor's safety, so he came here to help them escape the disaster .
Mudslide
Although the house was buried by the sand, fortunately everyone was still alive. The people in the Zhao Mansion were extremely grateful to the wild wolf who came to repay their kindness, , and they were also extremely grateful to Aunt Zhao. After the people in the village learned about this, they couldn't help being shocked. They felt that these wolves were very spiritual, so they all decided not to harm the wolves in the forest unless it was a last resort.
Since Aniang Zhao helped many villagers on weekdays, the villagers also came to help Zhao Mansion rebuild the mansion, and everyone's life quickly recovered.
Later, the wolf mother, accompanied by her husband and servants, went to the mountains and forests to search for the group of wild wolves. She also went up the mountain to search by herself. She wanted to thank them for their life-saving grace, but But no trace of them was ever found.
Wolves are close to humans
The villagers said that the wild wolves feel that the life-saving grace has been repaid. The two do not owe each other . Their lives are very different from humans. The best way is not to disturb each other. , some villagers also believe that the wolves may not really be missing, otherwise the wolf’s mother-in-law went up the mountain alone and didn’t encounter any danger . There must be a wolf protecting him from behind, but I just don’t want to show up. Aunt Zhao heard what the villagers said, and felt that she should respect the wild wolf's thoughts. A life without disturbing each other might be the best state. She never went to the wild wolf again, but kept her gratitude in her heart.
Do you think the wild wolves are hiding and not wanting to show up? Is it best to live a life without disturbing each other? If a wild wolf appeared in front of you, would you dare to approach it?
