During the Northern Song Dynasty, Baihua Village in Pyeongchang Province was a small village near the mountains, and there were more than a dozen families living in the village, who were said to have fled the war in the early years to come here, and they made a living from farming, and the story told today happened here.
Brother Li Yong, let me tell you something."
What is it, you say, I'll listen."
That's the case, several people in the village said that my sister-in-law didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran outside, so you should be careful."
Nonsense, I share a bed with Mei'er every night, and she goes out in the middle of the night, can I know? Someone must be chewing on the root of the tongue."
This conversation happened on the way up the mountain to chop wood between Li Yong and Li Yun, Li Yong was five years older than Li Yun, they often went in and out together, Li Yong took good care of Li Yun, so Li Yun would tell Li Yong anything he encountered.
Li Yong's family conditions were good in the early years, his father was a good hand at farming, and he was quite skilled in hunting, relying on hard work, the family did not worry about eating and drinking, and his mother was diligent and thrifty, and she was busy every day, she couldn't stop, she worked in the field when she was busy, and went to the mountains to dig herbs when she was free.
Li Yong is a lone seedling, his family conditions are good, and his parents sent him to school to study, thinking that he would make achievements on the road of study, and get rid of this small ravine in the future.
Listening to his parents' earnest concern for his study every day, Li Yong also secretly made up his mind in his heart: "Dad, mother, you can rest assured, I will study hard, take the top exam in the future, and become an official in the court", so he studied very hard, and studied until late at night every night, and his mother had to urge him several times before he went to sleep.
Under such circumstances, Li Yong grew up to 15 years old, studied well, and was often praised by his husband, and he was full of hope for his future achievements.
There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good fortune and misfortune, the father who is in the prime of life, when he went to work in the field, was bitten by a poisonous snake, because ** was not timely, he did not wait for Lang Zhong to arrive, and he lost his breath.
Li Yong's mother hugged her husband and cried to death: "His father, why did you leave suddenly, what can you do with me and Yong'er", his mother didn't eat for three days and three nights, and when his father was buried, he died of excessive sadness.
The originally happy family, because of a snake, both parents died, leaving only Li Yong himself, with the help of the villagers, he cried and took care of his parents' funeral.
Suddenly without parents, only 15-year-old Li Yong, soon spent all the family's savings, in order to solve the problem of eating and drinking, he learned to farm, hunt, and cut wood when he had time, his pursuit is not high, it is good to be able to support himself.
Because he was young, he didn't earn much money from farming, hunting, and chopping wood, barely enough to eat and drink, and his family was poor and had a hard time.
One day, when he finished selling firewood in the market, a man mysteriously grabbed him and whispered to him, "Brother, there are good things, do you want them?" ”
After listening to the man, Li Yong asked, "What good things?" Let's hear it."
The man pulled him to a place where there was less people, took out a picture scroll from his sleeve, and opened it gently, inside was a picture of a delicate beauty, the man looked at Li Yong, and said with a smile: "Brother, this is a good thing, as long as 200 Wen, you will earn it if you buy it, and when you can't sleep at night, talk to the beauty, how wonderful it should be."
Li Yong looked at the woman in the story, she was indeed beautiful, delicate, beautiful as a fairy, and dressed coolly, which made Li Yong very excited, but he only earned 100 wen a day, and this money was not enough.
The man who sold the painting frowned at Li Yong and asked if he had any doubts, Li Yong said that he only had 100 yuan, and the man who sold the painting frowned, so he said in embarrassment: "Little brother, I think I have a fate with you, so I should make a friend, this painting is 100 yuan for you, don't you tell others about this."
Li Yong nodded, paid the money to buy the painting and went home, after the man who sold the painting saw Li Yong leaving, he took out another identical painting from his sleeve and continued to look for the target, of course, Li Yong didn't know about it.
Li Yong took the painting, returned home happily, quickly closed the door, unfolded the portrait of the woman, and began to admire, "It's really beautiful, if you can marry such a daughter-in-law, how good it would be", I saw the beauty painting of the conference, but I couldn't resist being hungry, Li Yong carefully put away the painting, went to make dinner to eat, and today I ran twice to the market to sell firewood, only to earn 100 Wen, but I spent it on the beauty painting, but he felt that it was worth it.
After a simple meal, Li Yong lay down on the bed to rest, he unfolded the portrait of the beauty, looked at it again and again, until his eyes were sleepy and couldn't open it, then he reluctantly put the painting beside him and fell asleep deeply.
While he was sleeping, he had a wonderful dream, and the woman in the painting slowly came to him and said to him, "Childe, am I beautiful?"
Pretty, pretty, fairy-like".
Is it good for me to marry you as a daughter-in-law", the woman said with a smile.
Really, let's get married now", Li Yong replied excitedly.
Seeing that you are in a hurry, you can't do it now, I need you to do something, and I will marry you."
The woman told Li Yong that she would go to the Chenghuang Temple on the edge of the market the next day, and if she met someone who could help, she would do a good deed, and after she was done, she would consider marrying Li Yong, saying that she would kiss Li Yong's face.
A gust of wind blew, Li Yong was awakened, how could there be a beautiful woman kissing, he looked at the ancient painting beside him, recalling the dream he had just had, this dream was too real, he decided to go to the City God Temple at dawn, in case it was true.
The next morning, Li Yong woke up early, couldn't take care of eating, hurried to the City God Temple, where he met a beggar who asked for food, Li Yong bought a bun and handed it to the beggar, after doing it, he thought to himself: "This is a good thing, it's as simple as that?" Wouldn't he be able to marry a daughter-in-law soon, and he hurried home."
That night, he didn't dream of beauties again, Li Yong looked at the ancient paintings, looked at them for a long time, thought that maybe there were too few good things, and went to the City God Temple the next day, went to the City God Temple for five days in a row, and did hundreds of good things, when he slept, he still didn't meet the beauties of the ancient paintings, and the matter of marrying a wife was gone, Li Yong was very depressed.
Since he hadn't worked for several days and had done a lot of good deeds, his family's savings were almost spent, so Li Yong decided to go up the mountain to chop wood.
As soon as he arrived at the mountain, before he started chopping wood, he saw a woman unconscious on the side of the road, snorting, Li Yong was worried that she would be in danger, so he carried her home.
After arriving home, she fed the woman some water, the woman woke up, she expressed her gratitude to Li Yong, and began to tell her life experience, she said that her name was Mei'er, her parents died early, her brother loved to gamble, owed a lot of money, and wanted to pay her off the debt, she ran out while it was dark, tired and hungry, and fell into a coma on the side of the road.
After listening to Mei'er, Li Yong asked her to lie on the bed to rest, and he went to cook for Mei'er, and Mei'er recovered after eating.
Li Yong told Mei'er that he was at home now, let Mei'er live temporarily, and plan more in the future, Mei'er thanked the kind-hearted Li Yong again.
In this way, Mei'er lived in Li Yong's house, she was very diligent, took the initiative to cook, do housework, and changed Li Yong, and washed the clothes that she didn't have time to wash, which made Li Yong feel embarrassed, Mei'er said that this was what she should do.
The two became more and more familiar, and one night, Mei'er took the beautiful ancient painting and said to Li Yong with a smile: "When I cleaned up your bed today, I found that this painting fell under the bed and returned it to you."
Li Yong took the painting in a panic, and then Mei'er said: "Do you have a girl you like?"
No, not yet, my family is poor, how dare I dare to like girls".
I'll marry you as a daughter-in-law, I think you're a good person, down-to-earth and hardworking, and can endure hardships, I think it's good."
Li Yong looked at the beautiful Mei'er, although she was not a woman in an ancient painting, she was not inferior at all, and she was as beautiful as a fairy, he confirmed with Mei'er again, and Mei'er gave a positive answer.
Three days later, under the witness of the villagers, Li Yong married the beautiful Mei'er as his wife, and the villagers praised them as a good match.
On the night of the cave room, Li Yong gently lifted Mei'er's red hijab, looked at Mei'er like a fairy, and was stunned for a moment, Li Yong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Lady, you are so beautiful, how can I be able to marry a daughter-in-law like you."
Xianggong, you've been watching for an hour, and if you don't sleep, the day will be almost bright", Mei'er said with a smile.
Li Yong patted his head, he just looked at the beautiful Mei'er in a daze, and hurriedly brought a glass of wine, the two drank it slowly, the lights in the room were blown out, the bed curtain was lowered, and it was not a big time, an indescribable sound sounded in the house, and the bed curtain shook until dawn.
After marriage, Li Yong has the goal of struggle, that is, to make more money and let Mei'er live a happy life, he loves Mei'er very much and doesn't want Mei'er to be wronged.
Li Yong gets up early every day and works at night, farming, chopping wood, building houses for people, as long as he gives money, he does all the work, and the money he earns is handed over to Mei'er.
In life, Li Yong looked at Mei'er's smile and smiled, he wanted to give his heart to Mei'er, he loved Mei'er too much.
One day, when Li Yong and Li Yun went up the mountain to chop firewood, there was a scene at the beginning of the article, Li Yun said that many people in the village met Mei'er and walked outside the village at night, so that Li Yong paid more attention.
Li Yong absolutely trusted Mei'er, but later several people told Li Yong that when he saw Mei'er going outside the village in the middle of the night, he was also a little hesitant and decided to confirm it when he went to bed at night.
One night, Li Yong pretended to faint, Mei'er hugged him, slapped and shouted, Li Yong didn't wake up, Mei'er cried anxiously, turned in a circle, and after a while she picked up Li Yong, came to the well in the courtyard, and threw Li Yong in.
Li Yong was afraid of being drowned, so he was about to open his eyes, at this time Mei'er also jumped down, she hugged Li Yong's body and went downstream, Li Yong didn't feel drowning, he decided to continue to see, what did Mei'er want to do?
Not much, the two fell to the ground, Mei'er put Li Yong on the ground, she sat down cross-legged, her hands pinched, her body trembled, and the sound of pain came, Li Yong peeked at Mei'er, looking at Mei'er's very painful appearance, he decided not to lie to Mei'er anymore, Li Yong sat up.
Mei'er saw that Li Yong was awake, and hurriedly asked what was going on, and Li Yong told the villagers that she was going out in the middle of the night and wanted to try it to see what was going on.
After listening to this, Mei'er cried and said: "I'm almost worried about you to death, you actually lied to me, you are really not a thing, your behavior ruined my 50 years of Taoism", and cried with a whine.
Li Yong took the loss, kept apologizing to Mei'er, hugged her in his arms, and repeatedly promised that such a thing would not be done again in the future, and Mei'er forgave him.
Mei'er told Li Yong that she was indeed not human, she was a white fox, and one night when she passed by Li Yong's house and saw Li Yong obsessed with the ancient painting woman, she appeared in Li Yong's dream and told him to do good deeds, which would help him improve the speed of his cultivation.
Originally, the white fox simply wanted Li Yong to do good deeds and help him practice, but after getting along, it found that Li Yong was a down-to-earth and kind person, so he fell in love with him, so he became Mei'er and designed to marry Li Yong.
But because of the different paths of the ladyboys, Mei'er wanted to be with Li Yong, so she went out to the top of the mountain every night to practice, and suffered the pain of bone-eroding cultivation, so she would secretly leave home every night after Li Yong fell asleep, and hurried back after cultivating.
After Li Yong fainted, Mei'er didn't deal with such a situation, she made up her mind to save Li Yong, so she put him into the well, this is the place of extreme yin, where she is ready to condense the fruits of her cultivation into a life-saving medicine to save Li Yong, the condensation process is very painful, so she can't help but howl in pain.
Li Yong listened to Mei'er's words, and fanned his face, Mei'er suffered so much in order to be with him, and he did not hesitate to use the results of cultivation to save him, but he even suspected Mei'er, which led to the destruction of Mei'er's 50-year Taoism, but fortunately Mei'er forgave him.
Mei'er saw Li Yong slapping herself, so she hurriedly stopped her and told Li Yong to pay attention in the future, she was not angry, the Tao was gone, and she would repair it again.
The two went back to it and hugged each other at night and said a lot, and after this incident, they loved each other even more.
Later, after another year of cultivation, Mei'er was finally reborn as a real person.
Soon, Mei'er became pregnant, and when the day came, Mei'er gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.
Mei'er and Li Yong were holding a child alone, looking at each other, and they both smiled happily.
With Mei'er's help, Li Yong started a business, made a lot of money, and the family's happy life began.
