Mom was really thinking about how to cook this big eel into the most delicious meal. Is it fried? Is it speculation? Or stew? She didn't feel right. It was a hot day and they were sweating a lot, so let's make soup! Boiling out the nutrients of the giant eels can also replenish their bodies.
Thinking this, she took the big eel out of the bucket and saw that there was not much dirt in the bucket. She felt that after a night of vomiting, the dirt in the big eel's belly should be revealed. Being meticulous, she put the big eel in another bucket half filled with water and washed it for a while. When she thought it was clean, she walked into the kitchen and threw the whole eel into a pot half filled with water.
The big eel was still alive, and its body and tail kept moving. But when it was put into the water in the big iron pot, it felt seriously uncomfortable because the water had a salty smell. That was because my mother put salt in it. Although The seawater also contains salt, and the big eel is used to it, but the salt in the pot is chemically processed. The smell is unbearable for the big eel, so it jumps desperately, but it can't get out. The mouth of the pot has been covered heavily. pot lid.
The big eel was tired from struggling and settled down again. It was enduring the salty discomfort. At this moment, the pot was being moved, and then there was a sound of beeping and beeping, which was the sound of the free surging tide. , it imagined that it was moving freely in that ocean tide, and that the eggs in its belly would give birth and multiply in due course. But these are all dreams that it cannot realize. Soon, the water in the pot became hot, and it felt that it was in danger of being scalded to death. The heat of the water became more and more intense, and it was no longer able to struggle, and it realized that it would die soon. At this specific moment, what it was thinking about was how to save the fetuses in its belly, the offspring that should reproduce endlessly in the sea, but its love for them was beyond help. Just like a candle in the wind that is about to be extinguished, just before it is extinguished, the last bit of luster is still warming its descendants. right! Before dying, the giant eel used its last bit of strength to push up its bulging belly, trying to lift it out of the heating water that was about to boil, so that the eggs in its belly could suffer as little pain as possible, or gain a chance of survival. .
At this time, my mother had placed the pot containing the eel on the round iron shelf in the fire pit and cooked it until it boiled and the entire eel was cooked.
At noon, the old man and the navy came back from outside and sat down at the dining table. My mother opened the lid of the pot and was about to put the big eel into a big bowl with a spoon, but found that its body was arched and curved like a rainbow, which looked very sad. Why does it arch its body? My mother didn't understand the reason, so she made a sound and said in surprise: Why does the cooked eel look like this? The navy also came over to take a look, also puzzled. Only the old man knew it. He said that the big eel had something in its belly.
Why does the stomach bulge when there is something in it? The navy still didn't understand, so he used chopsticks to poke open its belly and found that it was full of eel eggs that looked like grape balls. He understood and couldn't help covering his face and sobbing. The old man asked him why he was crying. He said: Grandpa, although this eel meat is delicious, I can't eat it. You see, in order to protect the unborn child in its belly, when it was being cooked, it thought that the water line on the wall of the pot was safe, so it stood up and hoped that the unborn child in its belly would be out of danger. But its actions are in vain, but its maternal love is so sacred and great and inviolable. For this, we humans who make a living by preying on living creatures should feel ashamed and ashamed, and should give up cruel hunting of them.
The old man said that the navy was nerdy. If you think that way, the fishermen who make a living by going out to sea to fish will be unemployed. The navy retorted face to face: Can't we grow food and vegetables on land? The old man did not lecture the navy again. He may have felt that what the navy said made sense. If he thought about it from his perspective, how could he bear the pain of being boiled if the eel was himself? It was trying its best to protect its offspring when it was dying. The extraordinary behavior is indeed worthy of envy and admiration.
The story is divided into two parts. As early as when my mother set up the iron pot to cook the eels, the spherical eel eggs died in the eel's belly one by one. One of the eel eggs that was transformed from the soul of a calf did not survive. Like many reincarnations, his soul immediately left the eel body and flew to where it should go. But they - these thousands of eel ghosts are not free, and they all change into other things according to their karma. Only the negative substance that transitioned from the soul of the calf to the soul of the eel was not immediately parasitized. Instead, it was imprisoned by the Animal God, placed in a net bag, carried through the Yin and Yang Realm, and entered the edge of the Wheel-turning King's Palace before being released.
There are many ghosts of living beings here, including four-legged, two-legged, one-legged, many-legged, and legless. This eel ghost is looking around stupidly, and is whipped into the souls of the four-legged living beings by the ghost soldier. List. There are lizards, pangolins, badgers, wild boars, otters, turtles, soft-shell turtles, sea lions, hippos, crocodiles, etc. Generally, in the Yang world, most of these four-legged animals fight with each other or prey on the weak. But in the underworld, they all live in peace and do not attack each other. , and accept the raising of ghost soldiers in an orderly manner. The eel ghost felt strange that he was a legless animal, how could he be mixed up with four-legged animals?
A ghost soldier told it: You will soon become one of these four-legged animals.
The eel said: I don't want to give birth to any of the four-legged animals.
So what do you want to give birth to?
I want to be reborn as a human being.
The ghost soldier looked at it and said that only the Chakravartin King has this power. You can go find him while the caretaker is away.
The eel really slipped out of the group of four-legged animals. As soon as he slipped out of the door, he was stopped by the man who was guarding the four-legged animals and said sternly: Where did you come from? He actually broke into a group of four-legged animals.
Since the ghost of the eel has not yet transformed into any of the four-legged animals, the ghost cannot be recognized. When it enters, the ghost is patrolling outside, so it is not clear. Seeing Yin Chai asking this, Eel Yin Ghost lied: I originally went to the Chakravartin Palace to receive the reincarnation invitation, but now I got lost.
On the contrary, the Yin difference led it and introduced it into the human soul. Human souls are different from the souls of animals. Most of them have to endure a lot of suffering. Some are shackles, some are shackles, some are lame, some are blind, some have broken arms and hands, and so on. Although they are pitiful, There were still ghost servants who whipped them from time to time. Everyone was trembling in shock, and some started to cry as they were beaten even more severely.
The ghost servant also yelled: You damn guys, you have done a lot of evil in the world of the world, and you think that you can get away from your guilt and enjoy happiness in the underworld. Go ahead and dream! Now you go to the Wheel-turning King's Palace. As for what you should be reborn in, it is determined by your karma. Don't make any noise, otherwise your tongue will be plucked out. Even if you are reborn as a human being, you will be mute at best.
