In the ancient county town of Ping'an, there lived a young sailor named Zhu Xiaotian. He spent his life in this fishing village since he was a child, and when he was ten years old, his family suffered an accident and his parents died one after another, leaving him alone and growing up alone.
Zhu Xiaotian, who learned to row, has been a boatman with his fellow villagers since he was twelve years old, making a living by ferrying. When there were no guests, he would go to the river to fish, and with his diligence and bravery, although he did not earn much, he was enough to make a living.
Time flies, and Zhu Xiaotian is now celebrating his twentieth birthday. He was tall and athletic, however, his family was still poor and had lost the warmth of his parents. However, even so, he is still unmarried, and no matchmaker has come to match him.
One day in the afternoon, Zhu Xiaotian drove a small boat across the river, and a beautiful woman on the shore waved to him. Zhu Xiaotian stopped the boat and said, "Mrs. Zun, do you want to cross the river?"”
The beautiful woman looked at Zhu Xiaotian with a smile and said, "Chuanjia, I'm going to Liu Village, can you cross the river with me?"These two taels of silver are your reward. Zhu Xiaotian looked at the woman's generous ** and readily agreed.
The river is murmuring and the scenery is pleasant. Between the mountains on both sides of the river, the cries of apes are heard from time to time. Zhu Xiaotian drove the woman forward, but the two fell into silence.
As night fell, the moonlight hung high in the sky. Zhu Xiaotian and the woman came to a deserted ferry, and the woman handed him the silver and left. Zhu Xiaotian struggled all day on the boat, and felt that his arm was sore and exhausted, so he decided to rest overnight at the ferry and wait until dawn to return.
A moment later, the sound of rushing water came from the river, and the woman's singing voice followed, melodious and beautiful. Zhu Xiaotian woke up from his dream and saw through the cabin window that the woman who crossed the river together during the day was bathing in the water. Under the moonlight, the woman's fair skin and delicate face can be seen at a glance. Zhu Xiaotian glanced at it secretly, then turned his head and pretended to be still asleep.
It didn't take long for the woman to swim to the side of the boat and shouted to Zhu Xiaotian: "Little brother, I have already found you, why did you pretend not to see the slave family?."Zhu Xiaotian felt a little embarrassed, still pretending to be asleep, and didn't dare to respond.
The woman giggled, reached out and patted lightly on the water, and suddenly the water droplets splashed everywhere, and a few drops splashed on the porthole. Zhu Xiaotian curled up in the quilt, still with his eyes closed, pretending to be immersed in sleep.
A moment later, Zhu Xiaotian's boat suddenly shook, and in an instant, a white light flashed, and a woman who was wet sat on the side of the boat, stretched out her slender little hand, and gently pinched Zhu Xiaotian's face.
Zhu Xiaotian had no choice but to open his eyes, pretending to have just woken up, and said, "Girl, didn't you say you were going to a relative's house?"How did it come out here now?Could it be that something fell on the ship?”
The woman smiled softly: "Little brother, you are really a master who can pretend to be asleep!".Come, let me tell you a secret, I am the water demon in this river, from the first time I saw you, I was moved, now you have to promise me, if you don't agree, don't blame me for being ruthless!”
When Zhu Xiaotian heard that she called herself a water demon, he couldn't help but be shocked, the water demon is a legendary evil thing!Of course, he didn't want to listen to the water demon's threat, for fear of getting into uncontrollable trouble.
Zhu Xiaotian stood up and said, "The girl is a goblin, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I compare with you?"You'd better leave!However, the woman suddenly approached him and blew softly. Zhu Xiaotian was dizzy in an instant, fell to the ground, and lost consciousness.
The water demon climbed onto his bed and began to move his hands and feet on Zhu Xiaotian. Zhu Xiaotian couldn't resist this sudden ** in a daze, and unknowingly had a relationship with her.
Early in the morning, Zhu Xiaotian woke up, saw the beautiful woman beside him, realized that he had lost his virginity, and couldn't help sighing. The woman leaned on him and said, "Xiao Langjun, the affairs of men and women are natural things. Although I was close to you last night, I didn't take away your vitality, and I can't bear to hurt you. I really like you, and in that case, will you promise us something?”
Zhu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly, maybe he was destined to become attached to a water demon. The water demon smiled: "Then it's decided, I'll sort it out, and then we will become husband and wife, waiting for me!."”
With that, the fish lady jumped off the cabin lightly, and in an instant turned into a huge carp in the river water, and swam towards the distance. Zhu Xiaotian stared at this scene dumbfounded, his heart full of emotions. Half an hour passed, and the fish girl still did not appear, Zhu Xiaotian pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind and hurriedly rowed the boat away.
The next day, Zhu Xiaotian returned home, and everything returned to calm. He comforted himself that his engagement with Yu Niang must have vanished, and this unbelievable experience would not happen again. However, a few days later, when Zhu Xiaotian ferried the passengers again, a huge carp followed.
Several passengers were surprised when they saw this. Later, people heard the female voice coming from the big carp, and kept complaining: "You untrustworthy guy, I promised to marry me, I prepared a dowry for you, and you actually ran away!".”
It turned out that the carp spirit really thought that Zhu Xiaotian would fulfill the marriage contract, so he dressed himself carefully, put on the wedding dress, put on a red hijab, and returned to the ferry. However, she didn't expect that Zhu Xiaotian had already left, she burst into tears overnight, and decided to take a boat to find Zhu Xiaotian in person.
Every day after that, as long as Zhu Xiaotian rowed a boat, Yu Niang would turn into a huge carp and spin around him. Zhu Xiaotian gradually felt that he had nowhere to hide, and finally had to reluctantly agree to marry this carp essence.
A few days later, Zhu Xiaotian and Yu Niang became husband and wife. After getting married, Yu Niang proposed to live by the river, and Zhu Xiaotian reluctantly agreed.
By the river, the two built a house and began a peculiar life with fish. It didn't take long for Zhu Xiaotian to be greatly delighted that the fish girl was pregnant. Although he is reluctant to Yu Niang, having a child can be regarded as a continuation of the incense for the Zhu family.
However, one night before she was ten months pregnant, her wife suddenly fell into the pain of childbirth, crying: "Husband, I'm going to give birth, save me!".Zhu Xiaotian hurriedly prepared to invite a midwife.
However, the fish lady told him: "You don't need to ask a midwife, help me to the river quickly." Zhu Xiaotian was so anxious that he was unwilling to let his wife get wet, trying to shirk it. Suddenly, the fish essence turned into a huge carp and headed straight for the river.
The river churned, and strange sounds resounded in the night sky. A moment later, the fish lady who was originally incarnated as a carp revealed her snow-white belly and gave birth to a group of fish.
Zhu Xiaotian looked at this unexpected scene, and his mood was heavy and indescribable. All night, he didn't say a word.
The next day, Zhu Xiaotian packed up his bags and left his home by the river angrily.
Zhu Xiaotian rented a hut in the village, determined to say goodbye to the life of a fishing boat, and instead found a hard job on the street, doing some odd jobs.
One day, when Zhu Xiaotian was carrying a bucket to dig well water, he suddenly looked down and found a carp emerging from the well, which surprised him. Zhu Xiaotian ignored the bucket, quickly threw it down, and left in a hurry.
It turned out that the carp spirit had been full of resentment towards him since Zhu Xiaotian left. Due to her limited mana, she could not leave the waters, so she had to use various waterways to find her husband. Hearing that Zhu Xiaotian was working in the town, Yu Niang found a place he rented along the underground waterway. However, although Zhu Xiaotian spent time with her, he was still so frightened at the moment that he didn't dare to approach the well again.
Later, Zhu Xiaotian needed to cross the river, and as soon as he paddled to the center of the river, a huge carp suddenly set off a stormy wave and slapped the boat violently with its tail, intending to destroy him and the boat together.
Zhu Xiaotian realized that this was Yu Niang's return to take revenge, and he couldn't compete with it. He begged for mercy repeatedly, but the fish demon bit the boat in his mouth, but Zhu Xiaotian used his experience in supporting the boat at a critical moment to skillfully poke a bamboo pole into the mouth of the fish spirit, and barely escaped.
Originally, Zhu Xiaotian had thought that "a hundred years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation can be spent sleeping together", and he would be with Yu Niang for a few days, and there was no need to make things separate. However, the cruelty of the fish wife left him dumbfounded. He hurried to find a fortune teller.
But the Taoist priest can only divination, and cannot kill demons. He made a hexagram for Zhu Xiaotian and said: "The fish demon can't stay away from the water, if you want to save your life, it's best to go to the mountains to practice and become a monk!."”
After three days and three nights of thinking, Zhu Xiaotian finally became a monk in a nearby temple. Miraculously, the vicious fish spirit disappeared without a trace.
The nature of the demon has always been cruel, and although the fish girl has turned into a human form, her demonic nature still exists. Most of the cultivator-shaped monsters will still retain their true nature. When something unsatisfactory happens, they will not hesitate to resort to cruel methods, and they will not show mercy to others. However, tracing back to the root, the problem still lies with Zhu Xiaotian himself, he took the lead in abandoning his wife, causing trouble for no reason, and hating his wife. Leaving his wife behind, causing Yu Niang to seek revenge, and finally Zhu Xiaotian had to shave his ordination.
This story reflects some of the similarities in the relationship between husband and wife in real life. Some couples may quarrel endlessly when faced with disputes, forget past acquaintances and feelings, and take drastic measures. However, to get back to the roots, the root cause of marital problems is usually due to one of the parties making irrational decisions, leading to unnecessary disputes. Just as Zhu Xiaotian abandoned his wife, he eventually attracted the revenge of the fish demon. Therefore, marriage is a crucial event in life, and everyone should take it with care and avoid making decisions that they will regret for the rest of their lives. 100 help plan
