The Zhou family in the east of Jinan City, although not very wealthy, but Zhou Yunchuan, the only son, has been exposed to it since he was a child and learned the virtue of hard work and thrift.
In order to marry a wife as soon as possible and settle down, Zhou Yunchuan worked diligently every day to give his mother a good life.
On this day, Zhou Yunchuan got up at the dawn of the day, and after a simple wash, he came to the vegetable field, carefully selecting fresh vegetables and filling several large baskets.
The market in Jinan City is already bustling every morning, and Zhou Yunchuan picked the largest place to set up a vegetable stall and began to sell. "The leaves of the cabbage are green, and the cabbage is hard! The cucumbers are verdant and the peppers are red, and they are guaranteed to be fresh and delicious! ”
Zhou Yunchuan shouted loudly and beckoned passers-by. His hearty shouting quickly attracted many customers, and the vegetables in the basket were sold out.
Zhou Yunchuan carefully put the copper plate coins he earned into a bag, and was content to go to the Jihe River to catch some fish.
Passing by a cake stall in the bazaar, he bought some flatbread and meat buns with a few copper plates. The weather was sunny and windy, and Zhou Yunchuan was munching on meat buns while walking briskly towards the bank of the Ji River.
Both sides of the Ji River are dense willow forests, the breeze blows, and the catkins fly. Zhou Yunchuan found a shady place to sit down, spread out the picnic cloth, put the buns and cakes on the table, took out the bait and hook from the basket, and carefully hooked the bait.
He gently flung the hook towards the center of the river, then set up the rod and waited leisurely for the fish to take the bait while savoring the meat buns.
At this moment, Zhou Yunchuan suddenly heard a terrible cry for help from the other side of the river: "Help!" Anyone, help me! ”
Zhou Yunchuan was startled, hurriedly dropped the fishing rod and ran over to check, only to see a disheveled girl hiding from a crazy bison.
Little Swallow! Zhou Yunchuan recognized at a glance that it was his lover Yanzi, and looked at her confused and helpless appearance, and he was anxious. The buffalo had already rushed near, and the swallow was so frightened that he could not stand on his feet, and was about to be knocked to the ground by the horns.
Zhou Yunchuan was quick-eyed, picked up the fishing rod on the ground and whipped it at the bison, finally stopping its momentum of rushing. The bison was beaten and stopped to find the culprit.
Zhou Yunchuan was in a hurry, grabbed a sharp gravel and smashed it into the bison's head, and finally knocked it away.
Little Swallow turned pale with fright, her legs went limp, and she almost fell to the ground. Zhou Yunchuan hurriedly supported her and comforted her softly not to be afraid.
Yanzi gradually calmed down, and when Zhou Yunchuan saw this, he took the opportunity to say that he had prepared a dowry, and the next day he came to propose to Yanzi's parents and ask to marry her.
Swallow heard that he was going to propose, although she pretended to break his leg and threaten him, but she couldn't help blushing and laughing. After Zhou Yunchuan sent her home, he excitedly began to think about the next day's proposal, and he couldn't count the sheep.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yunchuan got up early in the morning, carefully took care of his appearance, carried the gifts prepared by his mother, and carefully carried a jade bracelet in his arms. He resisted his excitement and walked towards the door of Little Swallow's house.
Yanzi's home is a small earthen building on the edge of the village, and there are two tall banyan trees planted in front of the door, which is very beautiful. With a happy smile on his face, Zhou Yunchuan carefully held the gift box and came to the front of the house.
Just as he was about to push the door in, Swallow's mother ran out in a hurry, her face pale and panicked.
Son-in-law, something is wrong! Yanzi's mother grabbed Zhou Yunchuan's arm and said excitedly: "Our Yanzi suddenly fainted while chopping vegetables in the kitchen, please ask the doctor to come and take a look!" ”
Zhou Yunchuan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly entered the house with his mother-in-law. I saw that the swallow had passed out, and the blood remaining at the corner of his mouth was shocking.
Swallow, she is usually in such good health, how could she suddenly be like this? Zhou Yunchuan walked around the house anxiously.
So, Zhou Yunchuan hurriedly ran to the village and invited an old man dressed as a Taoist priest. After diagnosis, the old man said with a serious expression: "The little girl is attacked by a strong yin evil, and she must quickly go to the mountains to find a medicine called Lingzhi grass to be cured." ”
For the sake of his beloved, Zhou Yunchuan chose to summon all his courage to take the risk of going to the mountains to find medicine. He came to Swallow's bed, gently shook her hand, and vowed to find a way to save her.
Then, Zhou Yunchuan took the medicine bag given by the old man and headed towards the mountain. Zhou Yunchuan crossed the river and climbed the mountain on the rugged mountain road, and finally found the precious Ganoderma lucidum grass in a cave halfway up the mountain.
Just when he was carefully picking Ganoderma lucidum, he accidentally stepped on the air and fell off the cliff! Zhou Yunchuan was desperate during the fall, thinking that he was going to die here.
Unexpectedly, his figure suddenly floated lightly, and he fell into a pond not deep at the bottom of the mountain, and the warm water of the pond actually saved his life.
Zhou Yunchuan struggled to climb out of the pond, and was confused, when he heard the sound of a woman crying from the cave behind him. He tentatively knocked on the stone wall and found that there was a secret room, so he smashed a hole in the wall with all his might, and several ragged girls appeared in front of him!
You are saved, get out of here with me! Zhou Yunchuan helped the poor girls out of the cave one by one, and was about to take them down the mountain, when a cold voice sounded behind him: "Want to save people? It's not that easy! You will die for me, too! ”
Zhou Yunchuan turned his head suddenly, only to see a monk with a fierce face walking over, and there was a strange black smoke floating around him. That person suddenly turned into a giant tree and pressed towards Zhou Yunchuan, it turned out that he was a monster pretending to be a monk!
Zhou Yunchuan secretly screamed in his heart, only then did he realize that there was a monster in front of him, and he was about to dodge, when he suddenly remembered that he still had a treasure gourd given to him by a Taoist priest on his waist. He hurriedly took out the gourd and threw it at the demon tree, only to hear a loud bang, the demon tree was surrounded by the fire spewed out by the gourd, let out a terrible scream, and immediately turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.
It turned out that this vicious monster had harmed the swallow and imprisoned the girl in this secret room. Luckily, I got rid of it in time! Zhou Yunchuan breathed a sigh of relief, asked the rescued girl to leave quickly, and hurriedly went down the mountain to save people with the medicine.
With the help of the old Taoist priest, Xiaoyanzi, who had eaten Ganoderma lucidum, finally woke up. Zhou Yunchuan excitedly told Yanzi about the demon tree and the process of burning it. Only then did Yanzi know that he almost lost his life, but fortunately, Zhou Yunchuan was quick to get rid of the old monster who was weird.
Thanks to the treasure gourd with you, you can save the day in time, otherwise my little life will be in the hands of that demon. Yanzi said to Zhou Yunchuan gratefully.
After experiencing this series of blows and tribulations, the relationship between Zhou Yunchuan and Xiaoyanzi has also become stronger. One day, Zhou Yunchuan officially proposed marriage to Yanzi's parents, and under the witness of the two families, they finally entered the palace of marriage.
After the simple ceremony, Zhou Yunchuan took the bride's hand and came to his simple home. There are no opulent decorations, just ordinary adobe houses.
But when Zhou Yunchuan sat side by side with his beloved swallow, the happy smiles on their faces were the most dazzling scenery in the world.
Dear wife, after going through this series of tribulations, I cherish your and my feelings even more. Zhou Yunchuan said solemnly, "I swear that no matter what difficulties I encounter in life, I will work with you to face them positively and get through." I will always love you and protect you. ”
