There is a widow named Hu Jiao living at the east end of Hujia Village. Hu Jiao is only in her early twenties. Many men in the village salivate at her, and many matchmakers come to propose marriages, saying that they want to introduce her to a dignitary officials and nobles. However, Hu Jiao threatened to take care of her elderly mother-in-law, so she refused all marriages.
On a midsummer night, Hu Jiao was sleeping soundly in the house. Suddenly, a heavy object was pressing on her body. Hu Jiao thought she had a nightmare, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't wake up. When the next day at dawn, Hu Jiao found that the door was open, and what surprised her even more was that the bed sheet was wet for some reason.
Hu Jiao didn't think much at the time. She even suspected that she was sleeping too hard at night and she made herself wet the bed at night. Hu Jiao was afraid that others would make a joke after seeing it, so she took the bed sheet to the river to wash it before dawn, so that the matter could be covered up. But Hu Jiao never expected that similar things would happen almost every night in the following days.
Hu Jiao began to wonder, and she gradually realized that she might not be as simple as encountering a nightmare, because one morning, Hu Jiao actually found that her pants were missing, and she had been wearing them all the time, and she didn't have the habit of sleepwalking on . The reason why the pants were missing was that someone stole them while she was asleep.
At this night, Hu Jiao pretended to be asleep and was about to find out. At about 3 o'clock, a man in black quietly pushed open the door, walked around Hu Jiao's bed twice, then turned over to the bed, preparing to go against Hu Jiao's rainy matters. Hu Jiao was prepared for a long time. She hid a pair of scissors under the pillow before going to bed. She picked up the scissors and stabbed the man hard, and shouted, "Where did the bad guy come from!"
The man in black was not prepared, and his arm was stabbed, so scared that he ran away without even wearing shoes. Hu Jiao hurriedly chased after her, but there was no figure under the moonlight. There was only one donkey in the house chewing the grass in the donkey shed. At this time, Hu Jiao was scared. The man in black was so fast that if he were not a flower-picking thief, he would be either a monster or a monster.
Hu Jiao was so scared that she didn't sleep all night. She fell asleep until dawn the next day, but when she woke up, she learned the bad news that her mother-in-law had died unexpectedly. Early this morning, Hu Jiao's mother-in-law Zhou saw that her daughter-in-law had not gotten up yet, so she led the donkey to the market and prepared to buy some food at the market. However, for some reason, the donkey was frightened on the way and kicked Zhou to the ground. As a result, Zhou died on the spot.
Hu Jiao was heartbroken and had to bury her mother-in-law. That night, the man in black came to Hu Jiao's house again. Hu Jiao also wanted to stab the man in black with scissors, but was held down by the man in black. The man in black said, "Your mother-in-law was killed by me. If you don't know how to be polite, you will end up like her!"
Hu Jiao was suddenly stunned and thought quickly. Then she realized that her pants were found in the donkey shed, and the day after she stabbed the man, she found that one of the donkey's front legs was injured. At that time, she would never have thought that the man who came to harass her every night was actually a donkey at home!
She looked at the man in black in horror and said, "You...are you...a black donkey in your family?" The man in black said, "I was originally a donkey monster practicing in the mountains. Later, because of the failure to overcome the tribulation, I lost all my magic power and was caught by your husband. Now I have enslaved him for several years, and I have practiced myself and resumed my Taoism. I have paid so much for your family. Now you can repay me some." After that, the man in black said without saying anything, and forcibly defiled Hu Jiao.
Hu Jiao originally wanted to die, but the donkey demon threatened her and said that if she died or told others about the two of them, the donkey demon would kill all the people in the village. In order to save everyone, Hu Jiao had to endure humiliation and live a life of silence. But as the saying goes, there is no airtight wall for the world , Hu Jiao and the donkey demon were caught by one person.
There is a poor scholar named Fan Jin in the village. He and Hu Jiao’s husband are close friends. Once, Fan Jin came back from another place and was passing by Hu Jiao’s doorstep. He wanted to go in and visit him. After a while, he called and saw no one agreed. Fan Jin looked inside through the crack in the door and saw a black donkey and Hu Jiao walking in the clouds and rain.
The next day, Fan Jin went to the market to buy vegetables and happened to meet Hu Jiao. Hu Jiao's eyes were deeply haggard. Fan Jin asked with concern: "Miss Xu, what's going on with your black donkey? I saw it yesterday..." Hu Jiao heard Fan Jin say this, tears flowed down at that moment, and all the grievances were released.
How Hu Jiao killed her mother-in-law and how to occupy her own story. Fan Jin said indignantly: "This Langlang Qiankun didn't expect that there would be such evil spirits. When I invite a Taoist priest besides it!"
Hu Jiao quickly stopped and said, "Young Master Fan, please wait. Since this donkey monster can transform into a human, it means that it has a certain kind of Taoist priest. If you invite a Taoist priest, you can't do it all. I'm afraid that all of us will suffer. Now this donkey monster has been entangled with me for more than a few months, and it is about to be exhausted. Now he is an extremely weak body. When I use a great tonic medicine to pour it, it will naturally die suddenly if everyone doesn't need to do it."
Fan Jin admires Hu Jiao's wisdom and courage. To be on the safe side, Fan Jin invited his friend Luban and installed a set of mechanisms on Hu Jiao's bed while the donkey was going up the mountain to eat grass. About ten days passed like this. On a stormy night, the donkey demon screamed and screamed at the top of his lungs. At this time, Hu Jiao pulled the mechanism on the bed, and the bed board flipped over, and the donkey demon fell into the dark grid under the bed board, and the quicklime placed in advance by Fan Jin and Lu Ban.
Hu Jiao brought a bucket of water to splash water on the quicklime. For a moment, smoke from the house was everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue. After months of tug-of-war, Hu Jiao finally got rid of the donkey monster with her own efforts and wisdom. But no man in the local area wants to marry a woman who had a story with a donkey, and many women also pointed at Hu Jiao.
At this moment, Fan Jin extended an olive branch to Hu Jiao. The two of them met since childhood. At that time, they were not able to marry Hu Jiao because Fan Jin's family was poor. After experiencing such twists and turns, they became more convinced that they were the most right person in their lives. Fan Jin married Hu Jiao as he wished. Shortly after that, Hu Jiao gave birth to two sons for Fan Jin. Two years later, Fan Jin also passed the imperial examination and then made a great career in the officialdom.
