The man built a house, and dug up a stone tablet of two snakes under the foundation, and the woman said that this stone tablet must not be exposed
Tang You'an was originally an ordinary vegetable grower in Xijing in the Song Dynasty, ordinary and hardworking. A twist of fate occurred during a chance encounter when he helped others deliver fruit. Gradually, he realized some business doorways, and bravely embarked on the road of north-south travel, thus changing his livelihood from growing vegetables to selling fruits. In just a few years, he has accumulated some family business, and his life has gradually improved.
Tang Youan's wife's surname is Chen, her name is Huiying, and she is also a hardworking and capable woman. In the past, the husband and wife had been accompanying each other when planting vegetables, however, despite Chen Huiying's hard work, she had not heard the news of her pregnancy for a long time. Tang Youan's time running north and south is getting longer and longer, making the time at home more and more scarce, and it is even more difficult for Chen Huiying to have a chance to get pregnant.
Although life in the family gradually improved, the husband and wife had a common regret in their hearts - they had no children. Although they don't say it, this regret is deeply rooted in their hearts.
Chen Huiying believes that the age of the couple is not too old, Tang Youan has just entered the age of establishment, and she herself is two years younger than her husband, so she still has a chance. However, due to Tang Youan's travel from north to south, the time at home is getting less and less, and Chen Huiying feels very frustrated.
She wanted to persuade Tang You'an to slow down and stay at home more. However, as a woman, such words are difficult to utter. Every suggestion had no effect, and she felt helpless.
Tang Youxin knew his wife's thoughts, but he pretended not to know. It's not that he doesn't want to, but he really can't. He was originally just an ordinary farmer, and accidentally got involved in the fruit industry. He felt that he was on the rise, and that if he stopped, he might lose the opportunity he had worked so hard for.
Therefore, he could not rest at home and had to continue on the road. The life his wife wanted seemed to be away from him, but he couldn't stop easily.
Chen Huiying suffered from a heart disease under the condition of being preoccupied and needed care and enlightenment. However, due to the lack of care for so long, she felt hopeless in her life and eventually ran away from home one rainy night and disappeared without a trace.
Tang Youan fell into grief, he remembered that his wife had been with him when he was poor, and now that life had improved slightly, she had left. He realized that while he had made some money, he had lost his most precious thing. Although money is important, the wife is the foundation of the family. Now that he has no wife at home, he feels that the definition of home has lost its meaning.
Tang Youan was deeply remorseful and vowed to find his wife. However, between the vast heaven and earth, the sea of people is vast, and his wife has left home, and he has no way to find it.
His wife, who had accompanied him through difficult times when he was poor, now realizes that while money is important, true happiness lies in the integrity of the family. He decides to slow down and return home to find his lost wife. Money is important, but the warmth of home is even more priceless.
In deep remorse, Tang Youan decided not to look for a new partner anymore and lived alone, always looking forward to his wife suddenly appearing in his life.
Years have passed, Chen Huiying has not been seen again, and some people think that she may no longer be alive, and Tang Youan may not have expected anything from her anymore.
In the past few years, Tang Youan has struggled to maintain the family business, and many people persuaded him to remarry, but he was stubbornly unmoved. In the end, the elders of the family took turns to try to break his insistence.
There are three filial pieties, no queen is the greatest, Chen Huiying did not leave an heir for Tang Youan when she was alive, and now she has been missing for many years, if Tang Youan no longer marries, what will she do in the future?
Tang Youan was bored and pretended to agree to everyone's suggestion, claiming that he would renovate the family's house before considering marrying a wife.
Over the years, he has earned some family property through business, and it is also a matter of renovating the house, and everyone agrees. However, Tang Youan thought that this would be the end of the matter, but he didn't expect that in April of this year, he had just returned home from outside, and suddenly a group of people came.
For example, digging the foundation and listing the design drawings, and then Tang Youan can still do business, and others will do the rest of the work.
Tang Youan felt caught off guard and couldn't get angry, so he could only let it go.
Old houses are demolished and new ones are built, and it is natural to dig deep foundations. The young people are full of energy, but unexpectedly dig up something puzzling.
Tang You'an's old house has been in existence for many years and has not been renovated for generations, and this time digging deep into the foundation, the two young men dug up a hard stone. At first, I thought it was an ordinary stone buried under the foundation, but this stone was so large that the young people were too curious to destroy it, so they began to dig around it slowly, and found that it was actually a broken stone monument.
This matter is full of mystery, which naturally attracted Tang Youan's attention. When the stele was completely excavated, a young man took a bucket of water to wash the dirt off it, and found that there was something on the stele.
Although it is called a stone stele, it is not a long strip, but a square shape, and the center is dotted with black and white depressions, and everyone gets bored for a while and continues to work.
Tang Youan circled around the stele with his hands behind his back, because the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and he felt that the black and white depressions on the stele were not just simple embellishments, but formed a picture.
If you don't look at the black dots but only at the white dots, you will find that the white dots form a snake;If you don't look at the white dots, just look at the black dots, which is also a snake. The white snake joins each other to form a circle, while the black snake winds horizontally in the middle, as if cutting the circle through the middle.
Tang You'an looked more closely at the image on the stele and felt that it seemed to be a work of art, but the dots on it made him confused, so he had to put it aside for the time being.
When Tang Youan was renovating the house, he unearthed a stone tablet in the ground, which was also engraved with patterns, and the news spread quickly.
The next afternoon, there was a commotion outside the door, and Tang Youan went out to take a look, and found that several strange men were surrounding a woman in green clothes, talking in a low voice about some incomprehensible topics.
This woman has a delicate appearance and a special charm in her gestures.
Tang Youan didn't know the woman, but some of the workers present seemed to know her. The woman's surname is Li, known as Sanniang, who came to this place three years ago and opened a teahouse. Strangely, she rarely appears in the teahouse, but instead hires an old woman who spends her days wandering the surrounding area.
It looks quite unusual for such a beautiful woman, but always running around mysteriously. Several men surrounded Li Sanniang, and they seemed to disagree with her. Seeing that Li Sanniang was in an embarrassing situation, Tang Youxin felt pity and quickly took out an ax from home to protect Li Sanniang behind him.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers dispersed in a huff. At this time, it was already evening, Li Sanniang solemnly thanked Tang Youan, with a smile in her eyes, which was fascinating. Tang Youan felt a pang of disgust, because her behavior was incomprehensible, and it seemed to have some kind of purpose.
Facing Tang Youan's unhappy look, Li Sanniang tidied up her clothes, looked at the courtyard, and then said seriously: "You are facing a huge disaster, and you don't know it. I'm here to save you. ”
Tang Youan didn't have a good impression of this woman, and when he heard her words being conclusive and exaggerated, his heart was even more irritable. It was obviously him who helped her out of the siege, but she was twisted by her to say that she would face a huge disaster, which is really incredible.
Li Sanniang looked at Tang Youan's unmoved attitude, still smiled indifferently, pointed to the stone tablet dug out of the ground and said: "This stone tablet contains disasters and cannot be exposed to the world. I've spent a lot of money to take it away, and you've got the money and you've avoided the disaster, isn't it the best of both worlds?”
Tang Youxin felt strange, but he had learned a little experience in the business of selling vegetables and fruits, and he knew what it was like to be deceived. Li Sanniang undoubtedly has an ulterior purpose, or the stele has a purpose that ordinary people don't know.
Therefore, he shook his head resolutely. Although Li Sanniang persuaded again and again, claiming that the stone tablet might bring unforeseen disasters, Tang Youan was always unmoved.
In the face of Tang Youan's firm attitude, Li Sanniang looked at him intently, smiled, saluted, and said lightly: "You are about to have a catastrophe, but you don't know it." I have come to save you. ”
Tang Youan was full of doubts about her words, but he knew that the matter in front of him was not simple. After Li Sanniang left, he hurriedly squatted in front of the stone tablet to observe in detail. Although he had seen it once yesterday, when he looked at it again, he was still at a loss.
After half an hour of careful observation, no clues could be found. Tang Youan had no choice but to sleep in the temporary nunnery he had built.
He rebuilt the house on the site of the original house and demolished the old one. In the middle of the night, a sound woke him up. When he opened his eyes, although the stars were shining in the sky, the courtyard was very dim, and in the blur he saw a figure standing in front of the stone tablet.
Thief!He shouted loudly, grabbed the shovel from his side, and ran quickly towards the man in front of the stele.
In the darkness of the night, a mysterious figure dressed in black and masked approached without leaving a trace. Tang You'an's arrival had no effect on him, he bent down to pick up the stone tablet on the ground, easily carried it on his back, turned around and disappeared into the night in a few steps.
Tang Youan stared dumbfounded at the direction of the mysterious man's disappearance, the shovel in his hand trembling. This stele had been dug out from under the foundation by a few young men with great effort, but it was unbelievable that the mysterious man had easily carried it on his shoulder. Tang Youan fell into deep thought about the other party's strength and identity.
He squatted in the dark, the faint fragrance wafting into his nose, and Tang You'an fell into the contemplation of the familiarity of the scent. Suddenly, he suddenly realized that this fragrance used to be the breath emanating from Li Sanniang's body. Could it be that the mysterious person just now was Li Sanniang?Tang Youan couldn't believe it, how could it be her?She was just an ordinary woman, how could she have such amazing power?
All night, Tang Youan couldn't sleep. During the day, he saw others coming to the construction, so he went to Li Sanniang's tea shop to try to understand the truth of the matter.
The pantry was crowded with people, and people kept coming. Tang Youan was a little confused, why are there so many people who come to drink tea so early?However, when Li Sanniang walked out of the tea shop, the people around her suddenly fell silent, all staring at her with greedy eyes.
Li Sanniang smiled and glanced at everyone, and smiled at Tang Youan. This smile attracted a lot of jealousy and hatred, but Tang Youan ignored these, walked up to Li Sanniang's side, and asked in a low voice, "Was it you last night?"Did you steal the stele?I saved you out of good intentions, and you actually stole my things?”
Li Sanniang's smile was still the same, but she replied: "Don't talk about whether it was me last night, it doesn't sound good." As for the stele, give it up. As I said, the stele is about a catastrophe that you don't need to know and shouldn't know. But I can give you a satisfactory answer. ”
Tang Youan heard it in a fog, and watched Li Sanniang return to the back of the tea shop. There were people around him who cast jealous glances, and he was unmoved. All this has passed, and he still suspects that the stolen stele is Li Sanniang, but there is no evidence. However, he was also gradually relieved that the stele was originally dug out of the ground anyway, and he didn't know what it was used for, and if he lost it, he would lose it.
A few days later, the foundations of the house were completed and the craftsmen began to work on the upper floor. Tang Youan delayed the return trip because of a business and missed the passenger ship. The land route was too far away, and the water route was delayed by ships. He was in a hurry, building a house was not his original intention, but now it has become a reality. After all, this will be his future home, so he desperately wants to go home and see what his new house will look like.
Now that there is no boat, Tang Youan is very anxious. He saw a boat parked on the shore and decided to ask for help. After some good talk, and paying twice as much, he managed to be smuggled onto the ship.
After boarding the boat, he was arranged between the grain bales. On the day of the boat's trip, two more people were smuggled in the boat. One was a woman in a white veil, and the other was a young man in his twenties, who didn't look very smart. The woman's face was obscured by a white veil.
People who take this kind of boat need to bring their own food, but Tang Youan has already prepared and brought enough food to eat all the way, including cooking cakes, minced chicken, dried meat, preserved fruits, etc. However, the woman and the lad were clearly not prepared for this. In particular, the young man didn't seem to be very smart, and kept crawling around the food packs, which made Tang Youan feel quite irritable.
When the young man finally quieted down and leaned beside the woman with his eyes closed as if asleep, Tang Youan took out the food from his baggage and prepared to eat it. However, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Tang Youan, and swallowed frequently, as if he was very hungry.
Tang Youan was not stingy, but the young man's actions just now made him feel a little unhappy. Therefore, he deliberately chewed loudly to attract the attention of the lad. Looking at the way the young man swallowed his saliva, Tang Youan was secretly proud.
The woman, however, seemed angry, and lowered her head and whispered a few words in the young man's ear. She deliberately lowered her voice, but Tang Youan still vaguely heard a word that made him angry: "Mules eat so loudly." ”
Tang Youan almost got angry and crooked his nose, the woman's metaphor was too mean. Just as he was about to refute, the young man suddenly broke free from the woman's hand, walked straight to him, and grabbed it with his hand. The woman, apparently not expecting this, hastened to teach the young man a lesson. The sound of her opening made Tang Youan stunned, and the previously suppressed voice was in stark contrast to the direct shock at this time.
The chicken in his hand shattered into pieces on the ground, and he didn't know it. With trembling hands staring at the woman in front of him, the young man saw the chicken fragments scattered on the ground, hurriedly picked them up, and quickly put them in his mouth. Tang Youan suddenly stretched out his hand and delicately lifted the white veil off the woman's head.
The woman screamed in surprise and quickly covered her face, Tang Youan felt her head buzzing, and she couldn't stand steadily. The woman in front of him turned out to be his wife, Chen Huiying, who had been missing for nearly ten years. Why did she leave?She's been in ** all these years?And who is that lad?
These questions lingered in Tang Youan's mind, making him feel a splitting headache. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't find the starting point. He just pointed at Chen Huiying: "You ......."You ......”
Chen Huiying hid her face and began to cry, and intermittently, Tang Youan finally learned about her hardships over the years.
It turned out that the reason why she left in the first place was because she was depressed and unhappy and had not been able to get pregnant for a long time, which made her feel angry. Some unspeakable words weighed on my heart, and my thoughts became more and more depressed, and I finally ran away from home on a rainy night.
Without any idea, she headed south. Begging in hunger, walking for more than a month, physically and mentally exhausted, once fainted to death, but was rescued by an old couple.
When she woke up, she was reluctant to go back and chose to stay with the old couple. The old couple had only one son, the young man in front of them, named Zhang Tieniu, who was slightly mentally deficient.
Two years ago, the old couple died, and her life of taking care of Zhang Tieniu alone became difficult. After careful consideration, she decided to go back to her parents' house first. I didn't expect to meet Tang Youan on the road, this is really a wonderful arrangement of fate.
Tang Youan was both surprised and delighted when he heard it, it turned out that Chen Huiying did not remarry.
Chen Huiying nodded sadly, and Tang Youan was ecstatic. Who would have thought that because of the miscarriage of the ship, he would be able to reunite with his wife who was separated many years ago?Such a surprise is simply unbelievable.
Along the way, the couple had endless words, and Zhang Tieniu clapped happily on the side.
After disembarking, he quietly paid twenty times the amount to the man who let him on board, and then took Chen Huiying home happily.
The audience was also amazed, Chen Huiying has been missing for more than ten years, and Tang Youan has never been married, everyone thought that Chen Huiying had passed away, but they didn't expect him to find her.
In the face of everyone's enthusiasm, Chen Huiying seemed a little indifferent, but Tang Youan did not delve into it, he understood that his wife had been missing for many years, and it was naturally a strange feeling to go home at this moment.
He regained his loss, rejoiced in his heart, and didn't care about Chen Huiying's abnormality.
Until nightfall, Chen Huiying became depressed, complaining that the disappearance of the stone tablet made her feel depressed.
Regarding the matter of the stele, Tang Youan explained it in detail to Chen Huiying as early as the ship, and also mentioned Li Sanniang's involvement. Chen Huiying believes that the stele was excavated from her home and stolen for no reason, and this matter must not be stopped.
Tang Youan smiled bitterly in embarrassment: "Lady, maybe I'm not sure it was Li Sanniang who did it." Even so, if she really has the ability to carry a stone tablet weighing hundreds of pounds on her own, it means that she may have some evil magic on her. If we force it, will we not be asking for trouble?”
Chen Huiying sneered, she claimed that she had learned something over the years, and she thought that some people in the world had skills that ordinary people could not understand. However, she claims that what these people are most afraid of is ginger water. As long as you splash ginger water on each other, those people will become no different from ordinary people.
Therefore, if you want to deal with Li Sanniang, you only need to use ginger water.
While Tang Youan was still hesitating, Zhang Tieniu walked in with a jar containing ginger water. Chen Huiying motioned for him to follow him, and then came to Li Sanniang's tea shop together.
The lights were on in the tea shop, and Li Sanniang's figure stood out under the lights.
Chen Huiying stopped and took the jar in Zhang Tieniu's hand, which was filled with ginger water. She whispered to Tang Youan: "Open the window and splash it directly on her, ensure that all her evil magic is gone, and we can take back the stone tablet." ”
Tang Youan took the jar, slowly walked to the window, gently pushed open the window, and saw Li Sanniang sitting with her back to the window. Without hesitation, he poured all the ginger water in the jar on the back.
Chen Huiying suddenly laughed out loud, Zhang Tieniu also laughed, Tang Youan felt inexplicable, and a creepy feeling came to his heart.
Senior sister, it is really better than me and my junior brother, we always thought that the river map must be in the Yellow River, who knew that it was actually a galaxy in the sky?Although you preceded us in discovering it, under the ginger water, you were tied. ”
Tang Youan looked at the proud Chen Huiying, and then at Zhang Tieniu with a conspiracy smile, and was even more puzzled in his heart.
Yes, there is indeed a river map engraved on the stele, I knew you would come, but I didn't expect you to use the transfiguration technique. And junior brother, you don't have to pretend to be stupid anymore, it's uncomfortable, right?”
When Tang Youan heard this, he found that the voice was Li Sanniang's, but it was not from the person who had just been splashed with ginger water. Chen Huiying and Zhang Tieniu, who were originally proud, also showed panic.
A green dress descended from the roof, and Li Sanniang stood lightly beside Tang Youan.
Even now, do you still think she's your lady?She just transfigured. ”
Chen Huiying stretched out her hand and wiped it on her face a few times, and instantly turned into a completely unfamiliar appearance of Tang Youan. And Zhang Tieniu, who originally seemed stupid, showed an indifferent smile, which made Tang Youan feel very uneasy.
What the hell is going on?Lady, what have you been through?Why ......”
Tang Youan looked at Chen Huiying dumbfounded, but Li Sanniang beside her said lightly: "Until now, do you still think she is your mother?"She was just transfigured. ”
Li Sanniang's wrist shook violently, and the sound of the wooden umbrella cracking echoed in the air. She quickly took off into the air, and appeared beside Zhang Tieniu in the blink of an eye. At some point, there was a soft sword in her hand, which was tightly wrapped around Zhang Tieniu in the trembling, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at his throat. Zhang Tieniu screamed in pain, and the whole person fell to the ground without any movement.
Chen Huiying"Seeing this, he hurriedly spoke up: "Senior sister, why bother?"Why don't we achieve great things together instead of fighting each other?”
Li Sanniang hesitated slightly, but suddenly saw it"Chen Huiying"A distorted expression on the face. She raised her left hand, and a ball of ginger water flew towards Li Sanniang, and she actually carried a small gourd with ginger water in it.
Li Sanniang waved her green sleeves to cover it, but she was still splashed. She suddenly bent over and began to vomit. Tang Youan suddenly realized that Li Sanniang hated ginger water, and she would vomit when she smelled it. "Chen Huiying"When she opened her mouth to laugh proudly, Li Sanniang suddenly stretched out the green clothes on her body, rose with the wind, and the blade of the sword went straight to the triumphant"Chen Huiying"。
Chen Huiying"The moment she fell to the ground, Li Sanniang also leaned over and vomited.
Who the hell are these people?Tang Youan froze in place. Li Sanniang said to him with difficulty: "We used to be brothers and sisters, and we worshiped Baoren as a teacher. The two of them were not right-hearted and were expelled from the division, but they still did not give up, and they wanted to get Hetu as their own. They think they can do whatever they want when they get the river map. The stele appeared, and a catastrophe was coming. The stele is all around you, and sooner or later it will lead to catastrophe. At that time, I was surrounded by a group of people, and you came out to help, which made me want to help you, which is why I didn't leave immediately. I promised to give you a satisfactory explanation and would never break my word. When your wife was lost, I found it for you. ”
Tang Youan was confused when he heard it. The person who was splashed with ginger water turned around and turned around to be his wife, Chen Huiying.
This is his real wife. Tang Youan rushed over and hugged Chen Huiying, and the two cried silently. It turned out that Chen Huiying was indeed lost after running away from home, so she couldn't find her way home.
The husband and wife hugged their heads and cried for a while, Tang Youan suddenly remembered Li Sanniang and looked around. In the distance, under the moonlight, there seemed to be a person staggering, fading away, and finally disappearing.
Tang Youan let go of his obsession with the stele, as long as his wife came back, he felt that he had got everything. The husband and wife went home hand in hand. That night, Li Sanniang's tea shop caught fire, and the flames turned everything to ashes, leaving no trace.
A few months later, Chen Huiying became pregnant, and gave birth to a daughter in October. When she grew up, her daughter especially liked to wear Tsing Yi.
The husband and wife have never seen Li Sanniang or the stele again.
Tang Youan was originally an ordinary farmer who worked as a farmer for a living. However, when the opportunity came, he became a fruit merchant, gradually accumulating some family business, and became the envy of everyone.
Life is like a dream, with ups and downs. Luckily, he was prosperous, but he faced the pain of having no heirs. This regret made his wife Chen Huiying very sad, and even suffered from heart disease, but in fact she was deeply depressed. Under the torture of depression, she chose to leave home, but she lost her way, and the husband and wife have been separated for more than ten years.
In the process of building his house, he accidentally found a stone tablet with bizarre patterns engraved on it. Is this lucky?In fact, it is a catastrophe, and it is also the reason of fate to profit and lose.
Li Sanniang acted secretively and came to Xijing early, and seemed to know the existence of the stele, but she did not know that it was in Tang You'an's house. When the stele appeared, she came to the test and became a key part. If Tang Youan is indifferent, she will steal the stele and leave. Tang Youan acted bravely, and when the siege was solved, she stayed, and gradually uncovered more mysteries.
This scene became the beginning of the fate between Tang Youan and Li Sanniang. Tang Youan sticks to the right path and remains firm in the face of beauty, while Li Sanniang finds his long-lost wife with his help. At the same time, Li Sanniang learned that the stone tablet was alive, which meant that the expelled brothers and sisters would definitely return, and the purpose of her stay was also to help Tang Youan solve the future crisis.
Who are Li Sanniang and her senior brothers and sisters?What do the twin snakes on the stele mean?All this, with the mysterious disappearance of Li Sanniang, may never be solved by outsiders.
