In the mountains of Lai'an, Anhui Province, there is a rich man named Yu Daosheng, whose family has thousands of hectares of fertile land, hundreds of houses, and herds of cattle and sheep, but he has no ink. But he married a daughter-in-law who was not only beautiful but also literate and hyphenated, named Bao Shigu. The tenth aunt was fifteen months pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, named Luyun.
This green cloud is a strange woman, the kind of superior person who is praised by Confucius as "born to know", that is, she was born to know words, and under the teaching of her mother, she can make an article at the age of five or six. Mother said happily, there is a female bachelor in my family, and Ban Zhaoguan Zhongji has a ** person. (Ban Zhao, female, historian, writer, astronomer, and mathematician of the Eastern Han Dynasty.) Guan Zhongji, female, a famous female calligrapher, painter and poetry writer in the Yuan Dynasty).
After Shigu gave birth to her daughter Luyun, she never got pregnant, and in order to give birth to a son and inherit the lineage, Yu Daosheng married a tightrope acrobat Jin Guan as a concubine, and she was very affectionate. This Jinguan is a vinegar jar, as long as Bao Shigu and Yu Daosheng are a little closer, she will be so sour that she can't do it, pretending to be very aggrieved and crying and crying that the eldest lady bullied her. Yu Daosheng was suspicious, and he didn't pursue his feelings.
Jin Guan couldn't make a plan and made a plan, she buried a small wooden figure in the back garden, Yu Daosheng also came to help when he planted flowers in the garden, and a hoe went down to dig out the little wooden figure, Yu Daosheng looked at it, there was his own birthday on it, and there were words to curse him to die. Yu Daosheng thought that this must be because he doted on Jin Guan to attract his wife's jealousy, and used witchcraft to plot against him. In a fit of rage, he imprisoned the tenth aunt in a small black room without asking.
At this time, Luyun was only twelve years old, and he had not seen his mother looking for him for a few days, and he heard his mother's crying outside the small black house. In the middle of the night, she made a hole in the wall of the small black house, rescued her mother, hid in the house of her neighbor Bai Qigu in the east, and then went back to bed herself.
Seeing his wife fleeing, Yu Daosheng was furious, and later learned that it was his daughter who let go of her mother, and she was grateful for Luyun's filial piety, so she stopped asking and recruited her tenth aunt home. But the husband and wife turned against each other, and there was no longer the warmth of the past. Wronged and depressed, Shigu fell ill, she refused to see a doctor, did not take medicine, and soon died.
As the saying goes, the sky is afraid of drought and the land is afraid of famine, and children are afraid of not having a mother. Poor Luyun didn't have his mother's care, and was wantonly beaten and scolded by his stepmother Jin Guan. As soon as Yu Daosheng protected his daughter, Jin Guan became angry, cried and made trouble when he was angry, and ignored him at night. Later, he was afraid that Jin Guan would be angry, so he turned a deaf ear to his daughter's crying. It's true that there is a stepmother and a stepfather, so female compatriots, for the sake of their children, they must also live well.
Yu Daosheng collapsed due to excessive intercourse, and he was so thin that only a skeleton remained. Knowing that his life was not long in coming, he couldn't put his only flesh and blood in his heart, and he expected that his daughter would not have a good life after his death. Before he died, he asked his distant cousin Yusheng to take care of Luyun, and gave half of his family property to Yusheng.
Luyun was bullied by his stepmother, so he went to Uncle Yusheng to cry. Yusheng not only did not make the decision for his niece, but reprimanded her and said, she is your mother anyway, what is wrong with a mother educating her daughter?Once Jin Guan beat Luyun so much that he couldn't stand it, and went to Uncle Yusheng to cry again, Yusheng said, are you too disobedient?The mother beats her daughter, as long as there is still one breath left, you can't win if you go to the government.
After Jin Guan knew that Yusheng did not protect Green Cloud, he abused Green Cloud even more unscrupulously. also invited Yusheng to his home, good wine and good food, and everything at home was arranged by Yusheng. One day, Jin Guan gave Luyun a whip and told her to herd the pigs. I go out early and return late, and I only have a bowl of brown rice when I go home. It didn't take long for the green clouds, which were originally flowery and moon-like, to be black and thin, and the ** cūn (cūn) cracked and wrinkled, and anyone who saw it felt distressed.
One day, when Luyun went out to herd pigs, he met Uncle Yusheng and cried to him again. Although she has repeatedly complained to no avail, she really has no one to talk to. She cried and said, "Uncle, do you bear to see me suffering, have you forgotten my father's will to give birth to orphans?"
Yusheng scolded with a clear conscience: Little girl, it's really a bad beating!Your father gave me his property, not yours. Although I am alone, but you are stubborn and disobedient, what can I do?It's your stepmother who abuses you, not me. If you complain to me again, I'll go tell your stepmother to let her pick your skin!After scolding, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Jin Guan's cousin Wang Yu came to his cousin's house to play and became friends with Yusheng. Wang Yu saw that Green Cloud was in the flowering season, so he became lustful, and when he was discussing with his cousin how to implement the evil plan, he was overheard by Bai Qigu, the neighbor in the east, and hurriedly went to tell Green Cloud. Green Cloud was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, threw away the whip that herded the pigs, and said, What else do I miss about this family?Flee into the mountains.
She found a small cave to live in, ate wild vegetables when she was hungry, drank mountain spring water when she was thirsty, and barely survived. Seeing that winter was coming, I was worrying about how to spend the winter, one day I saw a kind of grass in the mountain stream, the leaves were like brush tubes, and the rhizomes were like tender ginger. She gathered a lot of hay and spread it on the ground as a bed, and found a stone slab to block the hole, and this small stone cave sheltered her through the cold winter.
In the blink of an eye, winter had passed, and spring came to the poor girl, who stood at the mouth of the cave and looked around, and found that the scenery was still beautiful, and her mood was getting better day by day. She traveled over the mountains and mountains every day, leaving her footprints on every mountainEvery big tree has been embraced by her;Every little flower has been kissed by her;Every plant has been touched by her. Gradually, she walked and climbed mountains as light as a swallow, dodging wild beasts and walking like a fly.
One day Green Cloud came to a mountain called Shepherd Mountain, which is said to be the place where the dragon girl herded her sheep. Thinking that she had a similar experience with the dragon girl, she looked up to the sky and cried: The dragon girl was blamed by her in-laws for herding sheep, and I was blamed by my stepmother for herding pigs. But the dragon girl got Liu Yi to pass the book back to her parents, so who can help me deliver the letter to my parents underground?After saying that, I cried bitterly.
The cry of the green cloud alarmed the birds in the trees, and they flew up in a large area with a stunned scream. Green Cloud suddenly saw a young woman standing on the opposite cliff waving to her. Because this place is inaccessible, Green Cloud thinks she is a human or a ghostBut she's got to this point, so what's so terrible?She wiped her eyes and jumped to the opposite cliff in two steps in three steps.
The woman said that her surname was Bi, her name was Xiu (xiù) Fu, and she killed the enemy who killed her father in the downtown area in broad daylight, and because the emperor spared death, she became a slave of the eldest princess. The princess was very kind to me, and when she died, I accompanied her to her death. God enshrined the princess as the mountain god here, and the thin women here were all in charge of the eldest father. Xiufu asked her, why are you crying?Green Cloud spoke of his tragic experience. Begging her to save herself.
Xiufu takes Green Cloud to a palace deep in the woods and lures her to the princess. The princess told her to live with Xiufu. Xiufu is very good to Green Cloud, like a sister. Xiufu gave her a pill of walking pills, which made it faster and easier to walk in the mountains. Two years later, the princess ordered Xiufu to manage the classics, and Luyun worked as an assistant. Among the many classics, Lu Yun loves a "Sword Technique" that teaches swordsmanship, and quietly develops Xi by himself. After Xiufu found out, she said, you have hatred in your heart, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to learn this.
One day, the wood flowers in the yard were in full swing. The princess set up a banquet to enjoy the flowers, and the waiters offered their skills to help the fun, or orchestral or singing and dancing or calligraphy and painting, the princess smiled and said to the green cloud standing at the bottom of the stairs, bachelor girl, what are you performing?Green Cloud took the sword off the wall and performed a swordsmanship.
Suddenly, someone came to report: Mrs. Cheng came with the edict of the heavenly court. The princess got up, changed into court clothes, and burned incense to greet her. After a while, Mrs. Cheng rode a white crane to the courtyard, the princess prostrate on the ground, Mrs. Cheng read out the edict, to the effect that the public director is the mountain god here, and he is conscientious, and now he is full of truth, and he can ascend to heaven.
Xiufu said to Green Cloud with tears in her eyes, we all have to follow the princess to heaven, but you can't go to heaven in the mortal body, so what should you do?But you'll soon meet good people, and everything counts.
As she was talking, the princess summoned Green Cloud to go in and said to her, although you have immortal bones, your temperament is not even, and you still need to cultivate. Today's separation is imminent, let's talk about giving away one thing. As he spoke, he took out two white pills from his sleeve and asked Lu Yun to swallow them, saying, This is a sword pill to help you improve your swordsmanship. But remember not to kill innocents indiscriminately. On the mountain road, you will meet a lame boy with a gourd on his back, and that is your husband. When you become an immortal, you'll see me again.
Green Cloud was reluctant to give up, the princess rode the phoenix, Mrs. Cheng rode the white crane, and the others rode the golden pheasant, rising to the sky, and disappeared in an instant. When Lu Yun looked back, the gorgeous palace was gone, only the rocks were craggy and the stream was murmuring. This barren mountain and wild ridge was left alone again, and Green Cloud couldn't help but cry again.
Soon Chuzhou Mu Gao Gong picked up his mother to care for the elderly and passed by here, and saw that the Green Cloud Road was dressed but crying on the side of the road, Mrs. Tai was kind-hearted and beckoned Green Cloud to the car to ask what was wrong. Luyun said that his parents were dead and lonely, and he came to join his relatives but went the wrong way and couldn't find his relatives' homes. Mrs. Tai took her home and made her a little girl for the time being. Luyun is very diligent and good at work, and she is very good at handling things, and Mrs. Tai likes her very much.
At this time, Bai Qigu, the eastern neighbor of the Yu family, also came here to look for her husband, and sure enough, her husband was on an errand in the state pastor's office. Lu Yun was very happy to see her, and asked about the family, Bai Qigu said, after you left, Jin Guan became more and more disagreeable, first with Yusheng, and then with Wang Yu, and your father's Wanguan family wealth was lost by her. The people who have been in contact with her recently know at a glance that they are not good people.
At that time, the daughter of the state pastor Gao Gong was married, and was robbed by bandits on the road and snatched the bride. The family was so anxious that they went around, some said that they would go to the official to arrest the bandits, and some said that they would go to the barracks and lead the troops up the mountain to suppress the bandits. Green Cloud said none of these ideas worked. The most important thing for a woman is chastity, and when the bandits are caught and the bride is defiled, she can't be innocent even if she jumps into the Xijiang River. The crowd said, "What should I do?"
Luyun said that the little maid is not talented, and she is willing to rescue the son-in-law. After saying that, it was like a bird spreading its wings and jumping away from it, and everyone was stunned. On the day of the third watch, I suddenly heard someone on the eaves say, fortunately, I have brought back your pearl in the palm of my hand. Before the words fell, Green Cloud fell to the ground with the bride on his back, and he didn't even bark at the guard dog in the yard.
The bride said, "The robber took me and locked me in a small room, and after a while a man came and forced me to obey him. At the critical moment, a white light suddenly flashed from the crack in the window, and a cold wind blew, and when I looked again, the robber's head had fallen to the ground. Then the woman came in, and carried me on my back, and I knew I was saved.
Only then did everyone know that this little girl was not an ordinary person, and they all saluted and thanked her, while the green cloud seemed to be light and light, and even said that it was nothing, and there was no arrogance.
Mrs. Tai asked Luyun what spell do you have?Green Cloud shook his head and said nothing. Bai Qigu told Lu Yun what happened to her, but she didn't know what spells she learned after she left home. Mrs. Tai complained for Lu Yun and said, you have such a high level of martial arts, why don't you go home and kill that stepmother and uncle to take revenge?
Green Cloud said, it's too easy for me to kill them. However, from another point of view, if they hadn't bullied me and forced me, I would have been a peasant woman for the rest of my life, how could I have learned such kung fu?Besides, if I go to take revenge and kill them, I will surely defile my sword. Mrs. Tai praised Luyun's tolerance and generosity, and began to plan for her life's events, choosing a grandson.
Lu Yun asked Bai Qigu to convey her gratitude to Mrs. Tai, saying that my traces have been exposed and I can't stay here for a long time. There may be thieves here in the near future. Bai Qigu asked, what should I do then?Green Cloud took off an iron ring on his finger and said, if the thieves really come, you can throw this ring over, and none of the thieves can escape. In the end, Luyun asked Bai Qigu to help her take care of her parents' cemetery, and said that she was grateful, and the two fell asleep. When Bai Qigu woke up in the early morning, the green cloud was gone.
Soon after, a thief came to raid the house, armed with a sharp blade, and went over the wall into the courtyard. There are not many men in the family, they are outnumbered, and it takes an hour to send people to the yamen to deliver letters and move rescue soldiers, and everyone is so frightened that they hide and hide. Bai Qigu threw the ring at the thieves according to what Lu Yun said, only to see that the ring seemed to be burning and radiating raging flames, and it covered the thieves like a hunting net, and they rushed around in the net, and none of them could escape. Bai Qigu's husband shouted to come out and catch the thief, the family and the servants who came to the rescue were like catching turtles in an urn, and the thieves were arrested one by one.
Zhou Mu Shengtang asked about the case, and it turned out that this gang of thieves was the guy who kidnapped the bride. When I asked who their leader was, it turned out to be Yu Yusheng, Wang Yu, and Jin Guan. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, only to fight for early and late. The case was concluded, and the three were beheaded in Dongshi.
A few years later, the state pastor resigned and returned to his hometown, and on a mountain road, he saw Yu Luyun and a man with a lame gourd. The two bowed down in front of the car, and Luyun said, I am already married, this is my husband, I know that Mrs. Tai is here, and I have come to greet her. The thieves and grass thieves here have all been cleaned up by me, please rest assured that the master will move forward. What else did the state pastor want to say, but Green Cloud said something precious, turned into a colorful cloud and went west, gradually drifting away, disappearing, and her lame gourd husband was gone.
