At the foot of Changbai Mountain, there is a village, there is an old man in the village who lives by collecting medicine on the mountain, the old man has no children under his knees, only one daughter, and the father and daughter depend on each other for their lives.
One day, the old man went to the mountains to collect medicine, and when he saw a stout ginseng tree, he was overjoyed. When I was about to dig ginseng, I heard a child's cry. The old man thought to himself: Whose child is crying in the mountains? This ginseng can't be dug up! He put down his hoe, followed the sound, and found a child in the grass. This kid is white and chubby, and very cute. The old man took the child home and helped the child to recuperate, and the child's injuries were quickly healed. The child told the old man: "My home is far away, and it is only because of the trouble at home that I can have the opportunity to meet you." "The child stayed at the old man's house for a long time, and he became a playmate with the old man's daughter. The three little ones pick mushrooms together on the mountain and catch butterflies together at the bottom of the mountain, happy and carefree every day.
One day, a ragged and sallow-faced uncle came to the village, and walked towards the old man with a cane in his hand. He asked the old man for a bowl of water to drink: "Uncle, I'm dying of thirst, can you give me a bowl of water to drink?" The old man greeted him warmly: "Drink!" Drink it! After drinking the water, the uncle said to the old man, "You have such a good heart, you will definitely make a fortune in the future." But there's one more thing you need to do. The old man said, "What's the matter?" You just say. The uncle said, "I have a family heirloom treasure called 'ginseng essence', which will bring wealth to the master." This 'ginseng essence' is now in your daughter. If you are willing to marry your daughter to my son, 'ginseng essence' will be given to you for free! We just happened to be in-laws. The old man thought about it: he is a bad old man, he wants money but no money, no power, and nothing but this coffin. It is also a blessing for a daughter to be able to marry into a rich family! And he said yes.
Early the next morning, the uncle came to the door with his son. The old man was ready to marry his daughter to the uncle's son according to the agreement. The daughter was unwilling: "I won't marry!" I'm not married! I don't know him! The old man persuaded his daughter: "Good daughter! Marry him! Their family is rich! Besides, we can also get 'ginseng essence'! The daughter still didn't want to: "I won't go!" Just don't go! The old man still didn't give up and continued to persuade his daughter. At this time, the uncle's son spoke: "You have to marry if you want, and you have to marry if you don't want to!" Anyway, the daughter of this village chief is married to our family! The daughter turned her heart sideways, closed her eyes, and scolded: "You shameless slut!" Auntie, I won't marry you even if I die! ”
The uncle sneered: "Hmph! I don't know how to lift! Someone! Tie this little slut to a sedan chair for me! The servants of the uncle's family rushed up and tied the old man and his daughter to the sedan chair. At this time, the uncle said to the old man: "It's time to fulfill the promise!" The old man nodded helplessly. The uncle took out a golden bowl full of water and said to the old man, "Fill this golden bowl with water and you will be our son-in-law." ”
The uncle's servant carried the golden bowl containing the old man and his daughter to the highest waterfall at the foot of Changbai Mountain. Because the bowl was so heavy and the water of the waterfall was loud, no one heard the sound of water in the bowl. The uncle's servant put the bowl on the edge of the waterfall and began to pour water into it. At this moment, there was a "gurgling" sound from the golden bowl. One of the servants said, "How can there be a sound when the water is full?" The uncle's servant whispered, "Be quiet! Don't let the family hear it! I don't know. The "grunting" in the golden bowl is getting louder and louder. Suddenly, with a "bang", the golden bowl was washed away by the water! Along with the old man and his daughter in the golden bowl, they are gone! The uncle hurriedly took his son to look into the waterfall. The golden bowl flows down the waterfall and down ......It ended up in the sea. After a day and a night in the sea, the golden bowl sank. It turns out that this golden bowl is made of iron! The sea washed away the golden bowl along with the rust of the iron! Finally, even the gold bowl.
The shadow is gone! Fortunately, the water came to a beautiful island with the golden bowl containing the old man and his daughter. The island is full of greenery, flowers, birds and beautiful scenery. And the people of the island are friendly, kind, hardworking and hospitable. The people of the island often help the old man and his daughter with farm work and household chores! It didn't take long for the old man and his daughter to make a home on the island. They lived a happy, joyful life on the island.
A few years later, one spring, the old man and his daughter met a young man while collecting medicine in the mountains. This young man is handsome and chic, and he is talented. He told the old man and his daughter: "I am a very skilled doctor. I heard that the people on this island are hardworking and kind. "
