The man was herding cattle by the river, and on the way, he met a crazy woman laughing wildly, and the woman said, Come and be my husband
In the deep mountains away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there is a small village, where time seems to stand still, and the villagers still live a simple life of sunrise and sunset. There is a young man named Li Er in the village, he is burly, his face is tanned by the sun, he is introverted but he has a kind nature. Li Er's family has an old cow, which is his good helper in plowing the fields and his loyal partner in his lonely life.
In the evening of that day, Li Er led the old cow to the river at the edge of the village to graze as usual. The river is murmuring, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the surface of the river, creating layers of golden ripples. Li Er sat on a big rock, letting the old cow graze leisurely by the river, while he looked into the distance intently, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, a sharp and frantic laughter suddenly broke the silence of the air, and Li Er came back to his senses, followed the voice, and saw a ragged woman stumbling out of the woods by the river. The woman's long hair was scattered, her face was haggard, but there was a strange frenzy in her eyes. She laughed and muttered to herself, which made people shudder to listen to it.
Li Er instinctively felt a little uneasy, but seeing that the woman didn't seem to have malicious intent, he had the courage to shout: "Girl, are you a ** person?" How is it alone here? Hearing this, the woman stopped, tilted her head to look at Li Er, and suddenly burst into laughter again, laughing so much that tears flowed out.
You come and be my husband! The woman's sudden words made Li Er stunned, and he looked at the woman at a loss, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart. The woman was obviously delirious, but there was an unmistakable firmness in her tone.
Li Er was about to open his mouth to refuse, but the woman's face suddenly changed, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she pounced on Li Er, so fast that people couldn't react. Li Er stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was strong and stabilized his body in time. But the woman had already grabbed him by the arm, and the strength was amazing.
If you don't agree, don't think about leaving! The woman said viciously, the expression on her face distorted and hideous. Li Er was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that this woman is a madman? He tried to break free of the woman's hand, but found that the other party's hand was clasped tightly around his arm like an iron pincer, and he could not move.
At that moment, the old cow seemed to sense danger, raised its head, let out a low moo, and then rushed at the woman. The woman was startled by Lao Niu's sudden attack, and subconsciously let go of the hand that grabbed Li Er. Li Er took the opportunity to break free and retreated to the side.
The old cow stood in front of Li Er and roared threateningly at the woman. The woman seemed to be a little jealous of the old cow, she took a few steps back, then suddenly turned and ran into the depths of the woods, and soon disappeared.
Li Er let out a long sigh of relief, and was afraid in his heart. He stroked the back of the old cow and said gratefully, "Old man, thanks to you today!" The old cow seemed to understand his words, shook his head slightly, and continued to graze with his head down.
After this fright, Li Er was no longer in the mood to continue grazing. He hurried back to the village with the old cow and told the villagers about the mad woman he had just met. When the villagers heard this, they were very surprised and uneasy, and they began to talk about it.
This woman is from **? How did it suddenly appear with us? ”
Looking at her like that, she must be a madman, and everyone should be careful in the future. ”
It can't be a manifestation of the river god, right? I've heard that the river god hasn't been restless lately......”
Li Er listened to the discussion of the villagers, and he was also full of doubts in his heart. He decided to go to the river tomorrow to find out where the mad woman was hiding. Perhaps only by finding her can the mystery of all this be uncovered.
However, just as Li Er was about to leave, an old voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Young man, you're annoying!" Li Er looked back and saw an old man with white hair standing behind him on crutches. This old man is one of the elders of the village, and it is said that when he was young, he was a wandering Taoist priest who knew some mysterious spells and secret arts.
Uncle, what do you mean by that? Li Er asked puzzled.
The old man did not answer his question directly, but said mysteriously: "That woman is not an ordinary person, she has an ulterior secret. When you meet her today, I'm afraid you've been caught up in a battle of right and wrong. ”
Li Er's heart froze, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he remembered the woman's abnormal strength and hideous expression. He hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what should I do then?" Can you help me? ”
The old man glanced at him, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "This matter is not something you can solve, and it is not something I can interfere with. All I can tell you is that the woman is inextricably linked to the river god, and if you want to get out of trouble, you must go to the river temple and ask for help. ”
After saying this, the old man turned and left. Leaving Li Er alone to stand in place in a daze. He knew that the old man's words would not be untargeted, and it seemed that he was really annoyed. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. I thought it would be an easy thing to herd cattle, but I didn't expect it to cause such a trouble.
However, Li Er is not a timid person, since he has been involved in this right and wrong, he decided to investigate to the end. He believed that the river god would show him the way. So, he made up his mind to go to the river temple early tomorrow morning to worship the river god and pray for protection.
Night fell, and the whole village was shrouded in darkness. Li Er lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and the figure of the crazy woman and the words of the old man kept coming to mind. He knew that from tomorrow onwards, his life would no longer be peaceful......
End of the first half of the story).
Note: The above story is fictional and any similarities are purely coincidental. Please look forward to the development of the story. The man was herding cattle by the river, and on the way, he met a crazy woman laughing wildly, and the woman said, Come and be my husband
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Li Er got up early. He had a brief breakfast, and then led the old cow to the river temple. Located on the east side of the village, next to the meandering river, the River Temple is a quaint and solemn little temple.
When Li Er came to the temple, he saw that the temple door was closed, and the weeds were overgrown in front of the door, and it was obvious that no one had come here to worship for a long time. He couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, thinking that now that the world has changed, even the gods have been forgotten.
He stepped forward and pushed open the temple door, and a piercing creak sounded, as if announcing the arrival of a long-lost visitor. The temple was dimly lit, and there was a musty smell in the air. Li Er lit three sticks of incense, respectfully inserted them into the incense burner on the sacred case, and then knelt on the ** and bowed three times reverently.
Lord River God, villain Li Er came to ask for help today. After Li Er finished worshipping, he straightened up and said sincerely, "Yesterday I met a crazy woman by the river, and she seems to have an ulterior secret. The old man said that you know where she came from, please give me some guidance and tell me how to get out of this trouble. ”
After saying this, Li Er quietly waited for the river god's response. However, after a long time, there was still silence in the temple, and there was no movement. Li Er couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, could it be that the river god really didn't care about the affairs of the world?
At this moment, a breeze blew, and the candles in the temple suddenly swayed automatically without wind. Immediately after, the curtain in front of the idol fluttered slightly, and a vague figure gradually appeared. Li Er looked at it and saw that the figure was actually a woman in ancient costume, her face was delicate, but her eyes were full of grief and anger.
You're the crazy woman! Li Er exclaimed. He instinctively tried to back away, but found that his legs seemed to be pinned and could not move.
Why did you come to me? The woman said coldly, with a chill in her voice, "I was originally the daughter of the river god, but I was deceived by a negative man and ended up like this. Why are you involved in this right and wrong? ”
Li Er was confused when he heard this, and he didn't know what the woman was talking about. He hurriedly explained, "Girl, you misunderstood. I'm just an ordinary cowherd baby who accidentally met you yesterday and didn't know your background and experience. Please leave me alone! ”
Spare you? The woman suddenly let out a sneer, "Do you think this is child's play?" Now that you know my secret, don't even think about getting out! ”
After saying this, the woman's figure flashed, turning into a cloud of green smoke and burrowing into the statue. Li Er only felt dizzy for a while, and then lost consciousness.
When he awoke, he found himself lying on the grass outside the temple, and the old cow was anxiously circling around him. Li Er struggled to sit up, remembering everything that had just happened, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while. He knew that he was embroiled in a mysterious dispute, and that it would be difficult to get out.
But at this point, he had no other choice. Li Er decided to investigate the clues closely to see if he could find a solution to this trouble. He decided to start with the negative man first, and maybe he could solve the mystery of this crazy woman's origins.
So Li Er began to inquire around about the whereabouts of the negative man. After a lot of twists and turns, he finally learned some rumors about the negative man from an old man. It turned out that the negative man was a scholar in the village, and later left the village in order to gain fame and fame, and never returned.
Li Er's heart moved, and he decided to go to the county town to find the traces of the negative man. He said goodbye to the villagers and the old cow and set out on the road to the county seat. After some inquiries and searches in the county town, he finally found the negative man who had become a beggar.
However, when Li Er told the negative man about the crazy woman, he showed a frightened expression and waved his hand again and again to deny that he knew the woman. Li Er's heart sank when he saw this, he knew that this matter was probably much more complicated than he imagined.
At that moment, a strong wind blew, and the crowd in the streets scattered in all directions. Li Er looked up and saw dark clouds in the sky, lightning and thunder, as if a storm was coming. He secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and quickly pulled the negative man to hide in an inn.
The inn is brightly lit and full of people, as if it is isolated from the wind and rain of the outside world. Li Er and the negative man sat at a table in the corner, drinking relatively wordlessly. Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening thunderclap. The crowd in the inn immediately panicked and ran in all directions to avoid this sudden natural disaster.
When Li Erzheng wanted to get up and leave, he found that the negative man had disappeared. He secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly rushed out of the inn to find the whereabouts of the negative man. However, the streets were deserted, only the wind raging through the silent town.
Li Er ran anxiously through the streets, shouting the name of the negative man. However, all that responded to him was the howling wind and rolling thunder. Just then, a bolt of lightning struck, lighting up the entire street. Li Er looked through the light of lightning, and saw that the negative man was curled up in a corner and shivering, as if he had been frightened.
Li Er's heart softened, and he stepped forward to help him up and take him back to the inn. After some comfort and persuasion, the negative man finally broke down and cried, and told the truth about how he abandoned the woman back then. It turned out that he left the village in order to gain fame and met a rich lady, and abandoned the pregnant woman in order to cling to the powerful. Later, although he won the fame, he was framed because he offended the powerful and fell to this point.
After listening to this, Li Er was full of emotion in his heart, he didn't expect that this seemingly beautiful scholar had such an unbearable past behind him. He sighed in his heart and decided to help the bad man find his conscience and courage to face the mad woman.
After some twists and turns, Li Er finally returned to the village with the negative man and found the crazy woman. When the negative man saw the crazy woman, he burst into tears and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize. And the mad woman also showed a complicated look when she saw the negative man, but was soon overwhelmed by anger and resentment.
Seeing this, Li Er hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him: "Girl, he already knows his mistake and is willing to spend the rest of his life to make up for his mistakes back then." Please give him a chance to mend his ways! The mad woman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let out a terrible cry and threw herself into the arms of the guilty man, and began to weep bitterly.
Seeing this, Li Er was overjoyed and knew that this matter finally had a happy ending. When he turned around to leave, he suddenly found Lao Niu standing quietly behind him, his eyes full of relief and joy......
