During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a stable woman named Li shi. It was said that her delivery skills were very superb, and she could resolve premature births, difficult births, and fetal transversals one by one. And when she met the poor in her family, she didn't even accept the money for the delivery.

Aunt Li's wife passed away early, leaving her with only a sick son, who was thin and had to walk with a wooden stick, not to mention getting married and having children.

Aunt Li saw this and was anxious in her heart. Although she asked people to matchmake, which girl would be willing to marry such a person? So Aunt Li's son was almost thirty and still a bachelor.

On this day, Aunt Li was invited to a neighboring village to deliver a fat baby. The main family was very grateful and not only sent money and goods, but also held a banquet at home, insisting that Aunt Li have a meal at home. During the dinner, the one who persuaded the drinker and the one who raised the glass, finally Aunt Li felt a little drunk and worried that the sick son would not have food at home, so she quickly thanked and got up to go home.

Aunt Li stepped on cotton and rushed home one step deeper and shallower. The longer she walked, the darker the sky became.

Aunt Li was a little lost and was worried about how to get home. All she heard was the ringing of a car bell, and a four-horse-drawn car rushed over from a distance, with lanterns hanging all around.

When she saw Aunt Li, she hurriedly saluted and said to her aunt, "My little master just turned sixteen this year and gave birth for the first time. Now is a critical time. I dare to ask my aunt to follow me to help deliver the baby."

Although the carriage appeared very strange, it was Aunt Li's duty to deliver the baby. At this time, she drank some wine and was not afraid, so she nodded and agreed.

Aunt Li boarded the carriage with the woman, only feeling like she was driving through the clouds. Although she was a little shaken in the carriage, there was no sound of horseshoes treading or wheels rolling.

After listening to the wind for about a stick of incense, the carriage stopped in front of a big house. The sparrow under the wide-beam vermilion gate looked extraordinary in the light. Aunt Li didn't have time to see the objects at the door, so she was pulled into the door by the lady. Because she was in a hurry, Aunt Li just felt that the courtyard was large and magnificent, with an attic lotus pond and heavy rockery water. The long corridor and roof tiles that passed by were carved beams and paintings, showing the identity and status of the owner everywhere.

Aunt Li was dragged into an inner room, and there were several old women standing in the room, accompanied by a dozen young and beautiful maids. When she saw Aunt Li, she rushed forward as if she had seen a savior. Aunt Li hurriedly saluted and passed through the crowd to see the mother.

Just as the lady who had brought her here had said, the mother was very young, covered in sweat and tears, and was already dying of pain. Aunt Li hurriedly asked someone to bring water, scissors, and cotton cloth. With years of experience, Aunt Li could tell that the fetus should have difficult labor and an umbilical cord around its neck.

After some tossing, the second half of the night passed in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the sky in the east began to turn white, Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief. She was already holding a powdery baby in her hands.

As the woman handed the baby over to the other women, she wrapped up the placenta and sent it over. An old woman gratefully took Aunt Li's hand and said, "Thank you so much, thank you so much. I should have rewarded you well, but now that the sky is bright, we can't entertain you anymore. Just take this placenta, it will be of great use in the future." As soon as she had finished speaking, she heard a rooster crow from the east, and the old woman hurriedly asked someone to drive the lady back.

There was another gust of wind, and when she heard the third rooster crow, the aunt felt like a stone had been thrown up, blown by the wind, and returned to her door. Turning around, the carriage had already disappeared without a trace.

When Aunt Li returned home, she found a note in the box with the placenta, which read: Use half of the placenta to dry and grind into powder, and take it with warm water to cure Young Master's disease. Aunt Li was overjoyed and had been worried about her son's health. Now that she finally had a cure, she quickly discussed it with her son.

In the end, Aunt Li's son firmly opposed it, persuading her: "Mother, since you started delivering babies, all the placentas of the children have been returned to the master's family, or buried directly in the deep soil for the family, so that the placenta will not be lost, otherwise it will not be good for the child.

Aunt Li saw that her son had made up his mind, and she was also ashamed, so she buried the placenta with her son under the jujube tree in the courtyard of her home.

That night, Aunt Li had just closed the door and was about to go to bed when she heard a shout of "Aunt Li", and when she opened the door, she saw the old woman standing in her yard last night. Aunt Li hurriedly went out, and after thanking her again, the old woman said, "I originally planned to give my grandson's placenta to your son, so that you can be strong. Unexpectedly, the young master and the aunt were so kind and righteous, and they buried the placenta under the tree for the sake of my grandson. But now the tree has also received spiritual energy, and the dates it bears can heal the weak body of the young master after eating." After saying that, the old woman left with a salute.

When Aunt Li opened the door and chased out, she saw a fox-like animal running away. Only then did Aunt Li realize that she had gone to the fox cave to deliver a baby yesterday.

After dawn the next day, Aunt Li and her son talked about what had happened that night, and his son was also amazed. It turns out that animals are sometimes the same as people, they are human and human.

From then on, Aunt Li's son took the jujube to the jujube tree every day, and his body grew stronger and stronger. Later, he married and had children, and was happy for life.
