This details is about "The Yellow Mice/Nas Dab Ntxaug"

In Hmong folklore, there exists a tale about a huge mound believed to be the home of tiny, malevolent creatures known as the Yellow Mice Nas Dab Ntxaug. These creatures resemble yellow mice with long red noses and possess the ability to transform into anything they desire. They are not merely pests; they wield dark magic that demands respect and fear. The legend warns that humans should never disturb their dwelling or harm them, for the Dab Ntxaug will seek vengeance, claiming human lives in a slow, painful demise that leaves no visible trace of their wrath.

Long ago, there were Hmong parents who had never been blessed with children. Desperate for a family, they decided to adopt a newborn from a Co family that already had many children. They named her Mai Ong. Three years later, their fortunes changed when they welcomed a newborn baby boy, a cute little boy who quickly became the center of their affection. From that day on, the parents continued to have baby after baby. Living about a two-hour walk from the village, they decided to raise live chickens on the farm and forced Mai Ong to stay alone there, taking care of the chickens and guarding them against wild animals. The once vibrant home became a place of neglect and loneliness for Mai Ong.

One fateful day, a young man named Kav Tauj, who came from the underworld, appeared at their farm. He was a member of the Yellow Mice Nas Dab Ntxaug, living in a large hole beneath the enormous mound not far from Mai Ong's farmhouse. During the day, Kav Tauj transformed into a handsome young Hmong man and visited Mai Ong. Though many considered her plain, to Kav Tauj, she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

After his first visit, Kav Tauj continued to seek Mai Ong in her dreams, and they developed a beautiful, romantic bond. One enchanted night, as Mai Ong fell into a deep sleep, Kav Tauj appeared to invite her to explore his family's hidden world. Each night, Mai Ong ventured into Kav Tauj's realm, engaging in delightful conversations with his family and witnessing their joyful life together. The warmth and happiness she found in those dreams filled her with a joy she had never known, making her increasingly reluctant to return to her lonely, harsh reality.

However, the next morning, when Mai Ong's parents came to check on their farm and chickens, they discovered Mai Ong lying in bed, unresponsive and lost in her dreams. Concerned, they finally woke her and demanded to know what had happened. Mai Ong revealed that she had been visiting a neighbor named Kav Tauj, who lived nearby.

Driven by curiosity and suspicion, Mai Ong’s father followed the path she took until they reached the enormous mound with the large hole beneath it. Knowing that something sinister might be hidden within, he feared it was the lair of the Yellow Mice Nas Dab Ntxaug. He hurried back to the farmhouse to gather some dry peppers, a known deterrent against the creatures. Racing back to the mound, he poured the peppers into the hole and set them ablaze, hoping to drive away Kav Tauj’s family.

As the smoke billowed from the hole, the air grew thick with an ominous energy. The Dab Ntxaug, feeling their sanctuary violated, unleashed their vengeance. Within 15 to 20 minutes, the smoke cleared, leaving the mound eerily quiet. Kav Tauj’s family perished inside, but the curse that lingered would haunt Mai Ong and her family.

One night, Kav Tauj visited Mai Ong in her dream and warned her about the consequences of her father's actions in destroying his family and their home. With no other choice, Kav Tauj felt compelled to take the lives of Mai Ong's family in retribution. A few days later, he returned in her dreams and exacted his vengeance, leaving Mai Ong all alone because they had once been friends.

From that day on, Mai Ong never saw the handsome Kav Tauj again, but the memory of their time together haunted her dreams. She often felt a profound emptiness and an inexplicable sorrow. Years later, Mai Ong met a young man from another village, and they got married. Yet, she always remembered the tale of the Yellow Mice Nas Dab Ntxaug, a reminder of the consequences of disturbing the unknown and the perils that lay beneath the surface.
