Chapter 8 The legend of the eight boa constrictors' fine reincarnation

It was the 16th year of Jiaqing, and Zeng Guofan's great-grandfather Xigong was still alive. In the middle of the night on October 11 of this year, Jing Xigong suddenly saw a giant python hovering in the air, slowly approaching the door of the house, then descending, crawling around the house for a circle, and entering the door. Mr. Jing Xi clearly saw that this boa constrictor was as big as a bucket. It took a long time to enter the yard with its head before seeing its tail gradually retracted. Its whole body was dark and shiny, with dazzling markings. , hissing, squatting in the yard, staring at him with two bright red eyes.Jing Xigong was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and woke up suddenly, but it turned out to be Nankey Yimeng!Jing Xigong felt strange and didn't feel sleepy at all, so he put on his clothes and walked out of the house.But seeing the bright moon in the sky, the autumn wind rustling, the surroundings are quiet.He was strolling, and suddenly saw a big snake crawling on the empty ground, wriggling from side to side, as if about to move forward, but Xigong was startled again.When I looked again, it was not a snake, but the shadow of the old vine beside the ginkgo tree.Jing Xigong thought of the dream just now from the rattan shadow, and felt even more strange.While meditating, my wife came over happily and said, "The grandson and daughter-in-law are born, she is a fat baby!"

Jing Xigong's joy was extraordinary, and he hurried into the eldest grandson's main room.The daughter-in-law is hugging the eldest great-grandson.Under the red candlelight, the baby was rosy, with a straight head and face, eyes slightly closed, and a half-smile, which was really cute.He suddenly came to his senses: "Could it be that the baby was born by the boa constrictor just now!" He immediately told the whole family about this unusual dream, and led them to see the vine shadow in the yard.Everyone said that the boa constrictor entered the family with vigor.Mr. Jing Xi was overjoyed, and said to his sons Yuping and Sun Zilin: "The day Guo Ziyi was born, his grandfather also dreamed of a big boa constrictor entering the house. In the future, Guo Ziyi really became a rich and powerful general. The son of the Zeng family happened to be born at this time, and our Zeng family may be prosperous from now on. You must take good care of him."

Since then, the old vine in the yard has also been extra protected... Just outside the gate of the Golden Hall, Zeng Guofan was very pleased to see that the ancient vine, which had been separated for twelve years, was still green as before by candlelight.He remembered that his mother told him a story—— In the first lunar month of Zeng Guofan's seventh year, his mother took him to his grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings.Sitting in the small fishing boat were his mother, him, and his younger sister Guohui. Jiang Gui, who had come to pick him up from afar, was paddling slowly on the crystal clear water with his sculls.The weather is fine, the leaves on the hillsides on both banks are withered, the thatch is yellow, antelopes, muntjacs and hares can be seen flashing past in the grass and trees, and groups of fish swimming in the water can be counted.He was very happy when he went out for the first time.For a while, I stared at the hillside by the bank, looking for wild animals; for a while, I stretched out my hand into the water, trying to catch one or two small fish.Whenever his little hand touches the water, his mother is very nervous, lest he fall into the river.Walking to a section of rapids, the water splash raised by the bow of the boat glows like pearls under the sunlight.Zeng Guofan was very happy and reached out to catch the water drops.At this moment, my mother saw a big snake swimming towards the boat. "Snake!" she screamed, her foot slipped, and she fell to the side of the boat.The boat tilted suddenly, and Guofan fell into the water.The mother was stunned and was about to jump into the water immediately, but Jiang Gui stopped her.Jiang Gui was about to go down the river, but he saw Guofan desperately grabbing a tree trunk with both hands, screaming anxiously.The boat rowed past and pulled him up without any effort. Jiang Gui said: "My cousin is blessed and destined, and he will be very successful in the future."

The mother said suspiciously: "I saw a big water snake swimming, how could it be a section of tree trunk? It must be that water snake turned into a tree trunk to save Kanichi's life, and Kanyi is the fetus of a boa constrictor." When I arrived at my grandmother's house, my mother told her about the dangerous situation. Everyone said that what my mother said was reasonable, and congratulated her that she would definitely get the emperor's edict in the future.
