Story The man got lost in the mountains, stayed in a deserted temple overnight, and was woken up in the middle of the night by two young women
At the foot of the majestic Qingfeng Mountain, there is a small town, about 20 miles from the foot of the mountain. There is a scholar named Qian Shuwen in the town, who is talented and intelligent, and he is talented and first, and later he became a lifter with the title of the gold list, and he enjoys a good reputation in the town.
One morning, on a whim, Qian Shuwen went to Qingfeng Mountain alone to play. After two hours of playing, he got lost in the mountains. Qian Shuwen searched everywhere in the mountains, anxious to find his way home before it got dark. However, even as it was almost evening, he could not find the right direction. Faced with the gradual darkening of the sky, Qian Shuwen decided to give up finding his way and began to look for a place to spend the night. By chance, he found a deserted temple, so he found some hay outside the temple and spread it inside.
As night fell, Qian Shuwen lay on the hay, and he soon fell into a deep sleep due to the hard work of the day. However, in the middle of the night, he was awakened by a call of calling. When I opened my eyes, I found two young women standing in front of the temple. In a hurry, Qian Shuwen got up and asked, "Where are you sacred?"The young woman in the yellow dress smiled and said, "We learned that you are Qian Shuwen, a lifter, who came to look for you. ”
After listening to her statement, Qian Shuwen asked suspiciously: "Who are you sacred?"Why are you looking for me?The young woman in bright yellow clothes smiled and introduced: "To tell you the truth, my name is Xiumei, and she is Xinghua." I am the wife of the bandit leader in the mountains, and she is the wife of the second master. Not long ago, officers and soldiers went up to the mountains to suppress bandits, and all the bandits in the cottage were tragically killed. Xinghua and I escaped and hid in the mountains. Officers and soldiers searched for it several times, but fortunately we were never found. Today we found you lost in the mountains, so we quietly followed. We didn't dare to show people during the day, so we chose to visit late at night. The reason we are looking for you is that if you go to Beijing to take the high school exam in the future, we hope that you will help us in the future. In fact, the bandits in the mountains were poor people who were forced to join the banditry road. They never rob the poor, they only target the rich or the snobbish. ”
After Xiumei's statement ended, Xinghua continued to speak: "Qian Juren, we know that you are an upright gentleman. Qian Shuwen thought for a moment and said, "I understand, you expect that if I become an official in the future, I can help you get out of trouble." Xiumei nodded: "That's right." Subsequently, Xinghua added: "Qian Juren, we know you as a person, you are a decent person." Qian Shuwen said comfortingly: "Don't worry, as long as I have the opportunity to become a **, I will definitely do my best to assist you." However, I hope that I can be sent by you to the nearest junction to the mountain. Xiumei promised: "We will send you to the intersection at the foot of the mountain now." ”
After Qian Shuwen returned home, he resolutely decided to devote himself to his studies. Just three months later, he bid farewell to his hometown and embarked on a journey to the capital. A little more than a month later, he arrived in the bustling capital. After staying in the capital for just five days, he ushered in an exam and became the top student in high school. After winning the title, Qian Shuwen quickly reported the encounter between Xiumei and Xinghua to the emperor. After reviewing the recital, the Emperor issued a decree appointing him as the Minister of the Imperial Mission, with the task of arresting illegal elements.
Soon after, Qian Shuwen returned triumphantly. When he returned to his hometown, he led his men to search for Xiumei and Xinghua. However, three days of painstaking search yielded no results. It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day that they met a hunter in the mountains. The hunter told them that he had witnessed four middle-aged men snatching Xiumei and Xinghua three days earlier. As for the identities of the four, the hunter knew nothing.
After learning this information, Qian Shuwen immediately led his men down the mountain. In the afternoon, they arrived at the local county office. He told the magistrate how Xiumei and Xinghua were kidnapped by a middle-aged man, and he urgently asked the magistrate to find out the truth as soon as possible. Just two days later, the facts of the case were revealed. It turned out that while picking fruits in the mountains, Xiumei and Xinghua were attacked by four middle-aged men. The four turned out to be human traffickers who kidnapped and sold them to the proprietress of a county brothel.
After four middle-aged gentlemen**, Qian Shuwen rushed to a brothel in the county with his subordinates and the magistrate. Qian Shuwen urgently asked the proprietress to release Xiumei and Xinghua. However, the proprietress refused to release her, claiming that she had spent money to buy Xiumei and Xinghua, and that the prefect was her relative. Qian Shuwen proposed: "In this way, I will immediately send someone to summon the prefect." As a result, when the prefect arrived, he learned that the proprietress was unwilling to release Xiumei and Xinghua, so he did not hesitate to give the proprietress a few slaps and angrily reprimanded: "You are really blind, you don't know the minister." ”
After the proprietress was beaten by the prefect, she hurriedly said that she would release Xiumei and Xinghua immediately. Qian Shuwen said to her: "Hurry up and lead the way." So, the proprietress led Qian Shuwen and others to the door of the firewood room of the brothel. It turned out that Xiumei and Xinghua were locked up in the firewood room. After being freed, Xiumei and Xinghua expressed their gratitude to Qian Shuwen. Qian Shuwen gave each of them 20 taels of silver and told them to go back to their parents' house as soon as possible.
Soon after, Qian Shuwen left that place with his men. Since then, the local traffickers have known about the special relationship between Xiumei and Xinghua and Qian Shuwen, and they no longer dare to do anything to them.
