The Story and Legend of Lao Li with Bald Tail

The legend of Lao Li's tailless spread widely in Shandong. Later, Shandong people immigrated to the northeast, so the story of Lao Li's tailless appeared in the three northeastern provinces, and the stories handed down were similar. However, other areas are called bald-tailed Lao Li, and only Zhucheng is called tailless Lao Li. The legend goes like this: There was a man named Li Minghan and his name was Li Han. Although he is called Li Han, he is actually a capable man, very clever! Li Han is as strong as an ox, but he is an expert in farmers' field work. When to farm and what kind of goods to grow to make money are closely related. At the same time, he also has superb woodworking skills. Thanks to careful calculation, the little life is thriving. The daughter-in-law is pink, smart, handsome and wise, and everyone praises her. Husband and wife should be happy, but they can't see how satisfied they are. They pull a long face all day, don't talk much, eat badly, sleep soundly, and can't lift the slightest spirit. What's going on? It turns out that the couple had a heart attack and both died in their forties. They have slept on a kang for more than 20 years, and there is still no man and woman around them. What's the use of living well? The couple looked forward to their children with their eyes open all day, seeking medical advice, worshipping Buddha and knocking at heaven, all to no avail. Neighbors say the couple are cunning. This spring, peaches felt nauseous, became heavier and heavier, and their bellies swelled day by day. She's really pregnant. When Li Han heard that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, she forgot about the joy, just like having a flying dream. As the saying goes, pregnant in October, a delivery. However, Peach has been silent for several months, and the couple are extremely anxious. Strange to say, in the eleventh month, that year was the Year of the Loong, and the baby was born. Hearing that the peach blossom was born, Li Han hurried into the room. A closer look revealed that it was not a baby, but meatballs, round and rolling around on the ground. Li Han thought it must be a monster, a disaster, and it would be a disaster to keep it, so he picked up the scissors to cut the umbilical cord, aimed at the meatballs and cut them cruelly. Suddenly, a little green bug jumped out of the meatball and flew to the roof. Li Han was bent on having a baby when he was young, but he didn't expect to give birth to a green bug. He was so angry that he picked up a shovel, jumped up, shoveled it at the bug on the roof and shoveled its tail. The bug fell from the roof and landed in the mother's arms, tears still dripping. Peach was first surprised, then afraid, and at the same time angry that her husband hit a bug without asking whether he was alive or dead. She was surprised, scared and angry. In the second month, she was seriously ill and bleeding heavily. When she looked back, she saw a half-worm lying beside her, painfully stretching one song after another. Peach thought: whether it's a demon or a demon, it's their own meat after all. If so, she grabbed the disabled bug, touched it, kissed it again and again, and dried the blood from his wound. The bug stayed motionless in its mother's arms for three hours. Bugs grow when they see the wind without eating or drinking, and grow to more than four feet in just three hours. At this time, he said to Niang Tao Hong, "Niang! Your son, I have been able to stand on my own feet. Thanks to my mother's fertility, I will leave my mother today and go where I can live. " After that, he nodded to his mother three times, and a flash of lightning flew without a trace in the blink of an eye. Pink saw the bug fly away, and her husband, Li Han, fell to the ground again angrily. He cocked his head and was out of breath. This day happens to be May 13 in the ancient calendar. This little bug is called Li and has no tail. Later, people called him "Lao Li without tail". Tailless Lao Li flew in like lightning, first entering the Yellow River, from the Yellow River to the Bohai Sea, and then from the Bohai Sea to Heilongjiang. At that time, there lived a white dragon in Heilongjiang. Since coming to Heilongjiang, this white dragon has done all kinds of evil, tumbling over the river all day, blowing bad winds, raining badly, flooding crops, flushing houses, bullying men and women, which makes people restless. The locals hate the white dragon, but there is no way to drive it away. Lao Li without tail is a dragon. He knew for a long time that there was an evil white dragon in Heilongjiang, and he wanted to kill the local people. Wu Wei Lao Li heard that there are many local people in Shandong, especially more than 20 Zhucheng people. After he came to Heilongjiang, he had a dream for Zhucheng people and told Shandong people that if he saw white waves on the river when he was fighting with Bailong, please throw lime into the river and dig out the black waves. That's me. Please throw a cake into the river. Because Lao Li without tail is a dragon, it is difficult to distinguish green from black in water, so later generations say that Lao Li without tail is a black dragon. Early the next morning, people on both sides of the strait transported lime and cakes to the shore early. After a while, the battle between tailless Lao Li and Bailong began. As soon as people on shore saw the white waves, they threw a lot of lime into the river. The suffocating white dragon could not open his eyes and could not breathe. As soon as he saw the black waves, he threw a big white cake into the river. After eating steamed cakes made by Shandong people, especially Zhucheng people, Lao Li, who has no tail, is more and more energetic and energetic. The fighting lasted for three days and nights. Bailong is hungry because he hasn't eaten a meal. He was defeated by Lao Li without a tail, drew a light and flew away. No one knows where he went. Since then, Lao Li, who has no tail, has become the owner of Heilongjiang, and there has never been a flood in the local area, hence the name of Heilongjiang. From then until today, as long as anyone has been to Heilongjiang, ask if there are any Shandong people, and Zhucheng people are better. As long as there are Shandong people, no matter how strong the wind is, the ship can cross the river smoothly. This is the reason why the story that Lao Li has no tail is circulated in Shandong and Northeast China.
