Guangzhou Mansion is a prosperous and lively scene. The market is bustling with vendors selling all kinds of goods, and all kinds of people are shuttling through it. This is exactly what a day in Guangfu would be.
To the west of the city of Guangfu, there is a small river that meanders through it, and several farmhouses are scattered along the river. There is a family here, the head of the family is surnamed Duan, and his name is Duan Yu.
Duan Yu was born with broad shoulders and a round waist, although he looked handsome, his demeanor revealed a simple and steady temperament. The Duan family has been farming for generations, and Duan Yu is no exception, every day with his father, he comes to the fields to work, and sweat soaks their clothes.
Duan Yu's father's name is Duan Fu, he has a hard personality, is an upright person, and disciplines his children very strictly. Duan Fu expected Duan Yu to be diligent and rich, so he strictly supervised Duan Yu since he was a child and did not let Duan Yu have any chance to be lazy.
Duan Yu was deeply influenced by his father and became an honest and hardworking young man. Although living in poverty, the Duan family can still maintain food and clothing by relying on hard work, and it can be regarded as a medium-sized family in this area.
This year, Duan Yu has reached the age of twenty-four, and it is time to inherit his father's business.
The Duan family lives in the nearby Chengjia Village, and there is a girl named Qiongniang, who is both talented and beautiful, and Duan Yu's parents took a fancy to her, so they settled on this family business.
The wedding date was scheduled on a sunny day in the lunar month. Early in the morning, the Duan family was busy preparing to decorate the new house to welcome the arrival of the bride.
The courtyard is lit up, and the big red word of happiness comes into view. The tables and chairs were replaced with red cloth, and the vases were filled with gorgeous peony flowers. The door of the room is pasted with red double happiness paper stickers, and the couplet of "Luan Feng Chengxiang" is also hung on the wall, which is a festive scene.
Duan Yu got up early to freshen up, he put on the ancestral red wedding robe, and put on the crown hat painted with gold and embroidered silver on his head, and the whole person was heroic.
When the mother saw it, she couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Son, look at you like this, the bride who marries back will definitely like it very much." Duan Yu smiled shyly, and his heart was full of joy and expectation.
The wedding was held as scheduled, and the seventeen-year-old Qiongniang wore a red hijab and embarked on the road to Duan's house under the send-off of a group of villagers. The in-laws who were hugging the bride held a brightly colored red flower umbrella high and came to Duan's house lively.
The Duan family specially invited the most famous local Mr. Guoxue to officiate the marriage for the newlyweds. I only heard Mr. read out loud "Licheng eight characters, every word is dedicated, Luan Dao is still unhappy, Feng Xiao Fang plays the sound", Qiong Niang shyly lifted the hijab, revealing a beautiful face.
Duan Yu looked at the beautiful and generous bride in front of him, and couldn't help but blush.
After exchanging wedding certificates, the officiant shouted "Bride and groom, worship heaven and earth!" The audience burst into warm applause and music, and Duan Yu and Qiong Niang bowed to the natural gods and their parents in turn, completing this sacred ceremony.
In the evening, the Duan family held a grand wedding banquet and invited the whole village to have a wedding wine. The lively scene is unforgettable.
Since that day, Qiongniang has officially become the daughter-in-law of the Duan family. She took care of her in-laws every day, served her husband at night, and worked in the fields, becoming a virtuous and virtuous wife.
In the past three years, Qiongniang has won the love of her in-laws. It's just that Duan Fu is a little worried that although Duan Yu and Qiongniang have a very good relationship, Qiongniang has never been pregnant. He was worried that his son would have no heirs, and the Duan family's incense would be unsustainable.
In fact, Qiongniang herself is also very anxious. Every full moon night, she quietly came to her bed, folded her hands and prayed to the moon reverently, hoping that the moon god would give her a lovely child.
In order to get pregnant, Qiongniang also went to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, begging for a talisman to carry with her, she was worried all day long, for fear that her in-laws would ask about her pregnancy.
On this day, Sister-in-law Zhang from the neighboring village found Qiongniang, she said that Qiongniang's father was seriously ill and dying, so she asked Qiongniang to hurry back to her parents' house to see.
After getting this bad news, Qiongniang was very worried, although the woman married in her husband's family, but the parenting grace was greater than the sky after all. Qiongniang hurriedly found her mother-in-law Wu to inform her about this, and her mother-in-law immediately agreed to let her go back to take care of her father.
Wu also thoughtfully took out two pieces of silver and handed them to Qiong Niang to take to the doctor. Before leaving, he also told Qiongniang to come back early and add him a grandson. Qiongniang thanked her mother-in-law again and again, and set off with a simple bag.
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the quiet mountain paths. Qiongniang walked alone in a hurry, she knew that her father was seriously ill in bed and needed her care urgently, so she quickened her pace and wanted to get home early.
Just as Qiongniang walked to the middle of the path, a white mist suddenly rose in the distance. The mist came from all directions, and soon enveloped the entire road.
Qiongniang only felt that the surrounding scenery was blurred in an instant, and it was difficult for her to see the road ahead, and she couldn't tell the left and right directions. The clammy air made her shiver, and she knew that it would be very unfavorable to encounter this sudden mountain fog, so she could only slow down and carefully grope her way forward.
Dear father, your daughter who has been waiting on the sickbed at home is about to arrive, please hold on a little longer! Qiongniang silently prayed in her heart that even if the road ahead was confused, she would muster up the courage to overcome this last difficulty, because her father needed her!
At this moment, a thin cry came from not far away, and there was a hint of immaturity in the cry. Qiongniang keenly caught this voice, followed the reputation, and saw a little girl of seven or eight years old sitting in the weeds on the side of the road, whimpering in her mouth, and two lines of tears crossed her dark little face.
Little sister, why are you crying here alone? Qiongniang walked over with concern and asked.
It turned out that the little girl's name was Xiaozhi, and her family lived in a remote village at the bottom of the mountain. Today, I went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, but unfortunately I encountered a fog and got lost, and I fell down, and my knee broke the skin, and the pain was unbearable.
What worries Xiaozhi even more is that if she can't dig up enough wild vegetables to take home, her parents will definitely scold her. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi couldn't help crying even more sadly.
Qiong Niang's heart was full of pity after hearing this, and she found that Xiao Zhi was covered in patches, and she was so thin that she seemed to be broken when she pinched it. Her hands were covered with thick calluses, and there was only a pair of worn straw sandals on her two small feet. Maybe she had a very hard time on weekdays, and Qiongniang couldn't bear to see her suffering in the fog, so she gently took Xiaozhi into her arms and comforted her softly.
At this time, Qiongniang suddenly remembered that she still had a few lard radish cakes newly made by her mother-in-law in her bag. The fragrant vegetable cake exuded an attractive aroma at the moment, and Xiao Zhi couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Qiongniang took out the vegetable cake without hesitation and fed Xiaozhi lightly. Xiao Zhi's eyes stared at the vegetable cakes, and she was a little embarrassed to accept Qiongniang's gift.
Xiaozhi, you can eat, sister, I'm not hungry. You'll have enough to eat before you have the strength to gather more wild vegetables! Qiong Niang coaxed softly.
Finally, Xiao Zhi took the cake and devoured it. She hadn't eaten enough for almost two days, and she was grateful for this warm meal.
Just when Qiongniang and Xiao Zhi met, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky, breaking away the dense fog around them. The blue sky is smiling again, the sun is shining through the trees, and the air is fresh.
Qiongniang knew that this was a hint from God, and it was time to set off. She packed her bags and told Xiaozhi to go home early and not to get lost in the deep mountains and old forests again. Xiao Zhi nodded again and again, watching the figure of Qiongniang leaving farther and farther away.
Finally getting out of the fog and seeing the way out, Qiongniang couldn't help but feel relieved, and quickened her pace to rush to the direction of home.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a familiar figure standing on the edge of the woods. Qiong Niang fixed her eyes and saw that it was her husband Duan Yu!
How could it be him? Why is he here? Qiongniang thought strangely. Just as she shouted, the figure dodged into the depths of the woods, ignoring Qiongniang at all.
Qiongniang felt weird, her husband appeared here for no reason, and turned a blind eye to her, which was really abnormal.
There must be a problem with him doing this! Qiongniang felt more and more that something was wrong.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiong Niang chased after her, shouting "Xianggong, you are **" while looking for the depths of the woods.
The light in the forest was dim, the trees were tall and towering, and they were getting deeper and deeper, but Duan Yu was nowhere to be seen. Few people come here, and the cries of birds and beasts echo overhead.
Qiongniang felt a little uneasy and was about to continue walking, when suddenly a soft call came from behind: "Sister! ”
Qiongniang was taken aback, and when she looked back, it was Xiao Zhi she had just met.
Xiaozhi, why are you? Why are you here? Qiongniang asked in surprise.
Xiao Zhi said with a serious expression: "Sister, don't go into the forest, it wasn't your husband just now, it was the demon wolf in the mountains pretending!" ”
It turned out that Xiao Zhi was not an ordinary person, she cultivated into a little white rabbit, but she was caught by a demon wolf in the mountains and forced to do evil and harm people. When I saw the kind-hearted Qiongniang today, my conscience found it, and I sneaked out to remind her not to fall into the trap.
But right now, the demon wolf has already set his sights on Qiongniang, pretending to be Duan Yu to lure her into the bait. Although Qiongniang didn't know why, she didn't lie when she saw Xiaozhi's appearance, so she decided to believe her, turned around and ran in the direction of home.
Just after Qiongniang left, the sound of wailing and fighting suddenly came from the woods. It turned out that the demon wolf found out that Xiao Zhi wanted to save Qiongniang, and in a fit of rage, he turned back to his original form and wanted to eat Xiao Zhi alive. Xiao Zhi also turned into a white rabbit, resisted hard, and fought with the demon wolf.
Little traitor, do you want to fight against the water? I ate you! The wolf roared fiercely.
I won't help you do evil anymore! The little white rabbit resisted bravely.
However, the little white rabbit was not high in cultivation after all, and soon he couldn't support it and was seriously injured by the demon wolf.
At this time, Qiong Niang had already run far away, but not far ahead, she suddenly heard Duan Yu's voice behind her: "Lady, why are you running so fast alone?" ”
Qiong Niang's heart was full of alarm bells, remembering Xiao Zhi's advice, she forcibly suppressed the urge to turn back, accelerated her pace and continued to run forward.
But that "Duan Yu" didn't seem to let go of Qiongniang, and was still chasing behind, he shouted: "Lady, don't run, wait for me!" ”
Qiong Niang was very suspicious that it was a conspiracy of the demon wolf, but she was also very conflicted in her heart, what if it was really Duan Yu? Just as she hesitated, a figure suddenly passed behind her and grabbed her.
Xianggong, is that you? Qiongniang asked with a struggle.
The man laughed evilly, and his original form was revealed, and it was indeed a demon wolf in disguise. It said viciously, "Chick, you can't escape, come with me!" ”
After saying that, it was about to drag Qiongniang into the woods. Qiongniang struggled desperately, and her heart was desperate.
At this moment, a white light suddenly crossed and hit the demon wolf's chest. The demon wolf screamed in pain and let go of Qiongniang. An old man in a Taoist robe appeared in front of Qiong Niang, holding a sword, and it was the immortal who passed by.
Come on! The old immortal shouted.
Qiong Niang took the opportunity to break free and escaped. The old immortal and the pretending Duan Yu fought fiercely.
Just listening to the sonorous sound, the two have passed three hundred rounds, and the fight is inseparable. Although this demon wolf is changeable, it is not as good as an immortal after all. Gradually, he fell into a disadvantage and was captured alive by the immortals.
Immortal Grandpa, you must not let go of this demon, it has done many evils and harmed many good people! The White Rabbit pleaded weakly.
The old immortal nodded in agreement, and he locked the demon wolf in the gourd and sealed the demon qi.
At this time, Qiongniang's cry came from the forest, and the old immortal hurried to see Qiongniang holding the unconscious Duan Yu and crying bitterly. It turned out that Zhen Duan Yu came to look for his wife, but he was possessed by a sneak attack by a demon wolf, and the Yuan Shen was injured and was dying.
Qiong Niang burst into tears and begged the immortals to save Duan Yu.
After the immortal checked, he shook his head and said, "His life is short, and there is nothing I can do." ”
Save him with my Nedan! The little white rabbit struggled.
Although Qiongniang was grateful to Xiao Zhi's heart, she couldn't bear to sacrifice it.
The immortal groaned and said, "Maybe there is a way, are you willing to do it?" ”
Qiong Niang and Xiao Zhi both agreed.
So the immortal took out Xiao Zhi Neidan and healed Duan Yu's injuries. Duan Yu gradually woke up, ** as before. The little white rabbit exhaled and died, and the immortal collected his soul into the gourd.
Later, Qiongniang was really pregnant, and Xiaozhi was reincarnated as her daughter. Duan Yu and his wife grew old together, surrounded by children, and finally became a good reward. This story tells us that cause and effect are not happy. As long as you do good everywhere, accumulate virtue and do righteousness, blessing will come naturally. Folktales
