,. In a remote mountainous area, there is a small town called Xiajia Town. The town is built along a ravine. There is a rushing river beside the town, and there are mountains stretching behind the town. There is a lake on the mountain that is the source of drinking water for the town. There is a drama troupe in the small town run by an old couple named Xia.
Late at night, the residents of the town fell asleep. A cry of "Wow" came from the door of the theater. The old lady of the Xia family pushed the sleeping old man Xia. When she saw the old man wake up, she asked, "Old man, you hear the sound of a baby crying." The old man turned around and said, "Old lady, you heard wrongly the fifty people near the theater." There are no dolls in Midu that are under three years old, let alone babies." The old lady thought for a while, then pushed Old Man Xia and said, "Old man, do you think it could be the legendary ghost baby?" Old Man Xia was annoyed. The old lady said, "That's nonsense." The old lady was still worried, "How about we go and have a look? The crying is very uncomfortable. I can't sleep until I understand." After the old lady said this, the old man also wanted to take a look. "Then let's dress up as Zhong Kui and Guan Erye later. Even if there is something unclean, we can scare it." The old lady was convinced after hearing this, "Well, let's do it this way. You will play Zhong Kui. I will play the role of Mr. Guan."
The two old men came to the room where the costumes were kept in the dark. The old man put on Zhong Kui's red robe, star hat and beard. He found the red and black Zhong Kui's facial makeup from the facial makeup cabinet and put it on. He took it out from the sword stand. Heavenly Master Sword. The old lady put on Guan Erye's dark green robe, put on Guan Gong's unique hat and long beard, found the red-faced Guan Erye's mask from the facial makeup cabinet, put it on, and pulled out the Qinglong Yanyue Sword from the weapon rack. "The old man is ready." The old man looked outside the door and said, "Well, I'll go out in a while, and you can follow behind." The old lady, shouldn't she be Mr. Guan now? "I understand," Zhong Kui nodded and said, "Then I'll go. Come on. Hurry up and catch up."
After saying that, he held the Heavenly Master Sword in his hand and came to the hall with a leap, "Hey, Zhong Kui is here, where can the brat dare to be so arrogant." Second Master Guan followed closely and shouted loudly, "Grandpa Guan is here, where can the brat come out to die, haha. ." Wielding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, he came to the hall with a big round chop. Zhong Kui and Guan Erye couldn't hear the cry. They waved their weapons, turned around, and stood back to back in the center of the hall. Second Master Guan asked in a low voice, "Have you found anything?" Zhong Kui responded in a low voice, "No, the crying has stopped for a while. That thing may have gone." Second Master Guan listened, but did not hear the cry and said, "Then That’s good.”
Zhong Kui and Guan Erye waited for a while and realized that the thing was really gone. They sat on the chairs in the hall with relief and put the weapons aside. Guan Erye looked at Zhong Kui and said, "Old man, did you do something bad outside that brought these things to your door?" Zhong Kui retorted, "Old lady, don't you understand what I am like? Let's sing. After a lifetime of acting, if you can do anything shameful, if it really happens, it will be spread all over the town." Mr. Guan thought for a while, "That's true."
At this time, the cry of "Wow" sounded again. Zhong Kui and Guan Erye immediately picked up their weapons and stood back to back. Zhong Kui said, "Here we go again." After hearing this, Second Master Guan said, "The sound seems to be coming from outside the courtyard gate." Zhong Kui nodded and said, "Well, let's go take a look." Zhong Kui and Second Master Guan came to the courtyard gate. Zhong Kui said to Mr. Guan behind him, "In a moment, use your big knife to lift the door latch, and then rush out together." "Yes, I understand." Mr. Guan held the big knife and gently opened it, and the door latch fell to the ground with a "snap" sound. . "Wow wow" the crying started again. The sound got louder. Zhong Kui and Guan Erye were shocked and immediately stepped back two meters and stood back to back. "Old lady, this thing is so bold. Let's roar and see. I'll come first." He put the Tianshi Sword in his hand across his chest and shouted, "Zhong Kui is here, the brat over there dares to act so boldly." Mr. Guan Qinglong Yanyue waved his hand, turned twice, and with a "dang" sound, he stood on the ground and shouted, "Grandpa Guan is here, little devil, come quickly and die."
At this time, the voice outside the door changed. It sounded like crying and laughing, and it sounded even more terrifying. After hearing this, Mr. Guan felt that something was wrong. "Old man, it doesn't seem to be something unclean. It seems like it's just the cry and laughter of a baby." Zhong Kui listened carefully. "Yeah. I feel the same way." Mr. Guan opened the courtyard with a big knife. Door. A bamboo basket comes into view. The bursts of crying and laughter came from the basket. Mr. Guan used a big knife to open the piece of cloth on the basket, and a crying baby's face was revealed. The baby smiled when he saw the light. The two elders finally felt relieved. Mr. Guan picked up the basket. "Why is there a baby here?" "It seems to have been abandoned." "It's so pitiful. What should I do?" "Bring it in first. It's not a problem to put it away. Wait until daybreak. "Let's discuss what to do together." He said and began to take off his opera robe. Guan Erye put the basket on the Eight Immortals table in the hall, and went to change his clothes while he was talking about committing sins.
Wait until Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia change their clothes and come out. There are already many people in the hall. Old Man Xia looked at everyone, "Why are you all up?" At this time, a middle-aged man stood up, "That Captain Xia, you and your wife made such a big fuss at night, how could we not know about it? But those things you shouted "We thought there was something unclean, so we were a little scared, so we didn't dare to come out. Now that it's quiet, we came out to have a look. Are you okay? Has that thing been driven away?" Old Man Xia glanced at everyone and felt unhappy. That thing?" Old Man Xia deliberately slowed down, and everyone leaned over to hear it clearly. "It's right there" and pointed to the basket on the table. Everyone was surprised and there were more people. Only when I peeked my head out secretly did I find Mrs. Xia taking out a baby from the basket. A middle-aged woman said, "Captain Xia, you are so shameless. You deliberately scared us." "Did I? I was just telling the truth." Everyone despised her.
Old Man Xia was made uncomfortable and coughed twice. "Now that everyone is here, let's talk about what to do with this baby." The middle-aged man asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?" Mrs. Xia opened the cloth and read "Baby Girl." Everyone was sluggish at the screening. After all, this is an era that favors boys over girls. The middle-aged woman immediately said, "I already have two daughters and one boy, and I can't afford to raise so many." Old Man Xia looked at the middle-aged man, and the man immediately shied away, "That Captain Xia, look at me, who has been a stickman for half my life, and I can't support him anymore." If you can't take care of yourself, let alone take care of your children, go to Xiaomei, she is the best at taking care of others." Everyone agreed. Xiaomei almost burst into tears, "Captain, Commander" for a long time, she couldn't say what she wanted to say. Mrs. Xia looked at Xiaomei and said, "Well, Xiaomei is not married yet. I want her to take care of a child. How will she get married in the future?" Xiaomei burst into tears with gratitude, "Thank you, Granny Xia, thank you Granny Xia."
The middle-aged woman suddenly shouted, "Look at the baby's feet." Everyone looked and found that the baby girl's right foot was abnormally twisted. Mrs. Xia touched it and sighed, "She was born with stunted development and may be crippled her whole life. No wonder she was... Abandoned, oh, so pitiful. "Originally, no one cared for the girl, and now that she is found to be lame, no one wants her anymore. Everyone looks at me and I don’t know what to say. An old man came out and said, "Old Xia, your Aguo has sacrificed his life for the country for several years, and you don't have a queen, so why not just raise her?" Everyone agreed. Mrs. Xia looked at the sleeping baby girl in her arms, "Old man. A Guo has been away for a few years, and this baby girl appeared in front of the theater. It seems that God took pity on us and sent it to us." "Okay, starting from today She is our granddaughter from now on. Come and give me a hug." Old Man Xia tapped the baby girl's nose with his hand. "Now let's give you a name. You were abandoned not long after you were born. I don't know how many more will there be in the future. Ordeals. You call Du Du to endure all the hardships. From today on, you call me, Xia Du."
