Folk Tale A man marries a female ghost in a well, and the Taoist kowtows She is not a female ghost
In Qianle County, Liaoning Province, there is a young boy named Zhou Shaobin, who grew up in poverty and grew up eating hundreds of family meals.
Although his life is not rich, Zhou Shaobin has lofty ideals and devotes himself to studying, dreaming that one day he will be able to make a name for himself and contribute to the villagers and the country.
One day, when the sky was overcast and the room was filled with dim light, Zhou Shaobin walked out of the house and came to the courtyard to read. As he walked, he was so immersed in the book that he didn't even notice that it was getting dark.
When he came to his senses, he found himself lost in the dense woods by the lake. 
On the edge of the well by the lake, there sat a graceful woman, with black hair and white clothes, and a pair of bare feet without shoes and socks, just like Zhou Shaobin, reading the book in her hand intently.
Zhou Shaobin didn't know the woman in front of him, for fear of disturbing the other party, he hurriedly turned around and prepared to go back. However, the woman turned her head sideways and called softly, "Which family are you the son of?"”
Zhou Shaobin stopped, turned his back to the woman, and looked at the distant clouds in the sky, which reflected the semi-circular moon, looking a little shy.
It's not a son.,Just an ordinary reader!Zhou Shaobin replied without humility, and after a pause, he reminded with concern: "Girl, it's not safe to go outside so late at night, you'd better go home as soon as possible." ”
The woman giggled and replied, "My family is in the next village, and I went out for a walk in the evening and got my shoes and socks wet." Now my shoes are dry, but I'm still a little scared at this late hour. Childe, can you take me home?”
Considering the different etiquette norms between men and women, Zhou Shaobin considered the etiquette on the one hand, and worried about the danger of women walking at night on the other hand. He was in a dilemma, but finally nodded and said, "Girl, please put on your shoes and socks quickly, and I will send you home." ”
When he heard the sound of his clothes rubbing stop, Zhou Shaobin turned his head and did not look at her face directly, but half-bowed his head and led her forward.
The woman's laughter was loud and resounding briskly in the night sky. She quickened her pace and suddenly grabbed Zhou Shaobin's arm. Zhou Shaobin shook her off unhappily, but the woman just smiled: "Childe, I saw a dark shadow next to me just now, and I was scared, so I caught up with you." It's the little woman who is abrupt. By the way, my name is Li Min, fifteen this year, what about you?”
It's Zhou Shaobin below, the girl should go quickly. ”
Li Min nodded, respecting Zhou Shaobin. She knows that she has a special identity, and if she sincerely has feelings, it will be tantamount to killing herself. So she secretly pinched herself.
Brother Shaobin, I play here every day. If you're bored, come to me. ”
Zhou Shaobin didn't answer, but just sent her to the entrance of the village.
Zhou Shaobin's family is very poor, in addition to 100 family meals, he has to go to the landlord's house in the village every day to graze cattle. I sent the cow back today, and the cow suddenly fell ill. Qian Yuyi, the son of the landlord's family, rebuked him and deducted the only copper plate he had. Zhou Shaobin was helpless and returned home depressed, but at midnight he still couldn't sleep and couldn't sleep. 
Unconsciously, Zhou Shaobin walked to the old dry well again, and the girl by the well was still immersed in the sea of books.
Seeing Zhou Shaobin coming, Li Min asked curiously: "Childe doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, do you have anything on your mind?"”
Zhou Shaobin was not as restrained as yesterday, but sat down with his back to Li Min: "Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." ”
As soon as the words fell, the girl stretched out her slender arm, and there was already an extra wine glass in her hand.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, Zhou Shaobin took the wine glass and drank it all.
The warm liquid slid down his throat and exuded a refreshing warmth that quickly flowed throughout his body.
One cup after another, Zhou Shaobin gradually got drunk.
The woman stood up and helped Zhou Shaobin, who was already slightly drunk.
The next day, the sky was not yet clear, and when Zhou Shaobin woke up, he was surprised to find that there was a delicate silk handkerchief next to the pillow, embroidered with a delicate red plum flower, and the word "Min" was faintly exposed on the handkerchief. Zhou Shaobin was at a loss for a while, looking at himself naked, as if five thunders had hit the top.
Recalling last night's drunkenness, Zhou Shaobin's heart sank, and he actually did such an outrageous thing. He hurriedly got up, straightened his clothes, and walked straight to the next village. After walking about six miles, I finally arrived at Li Min's village. Asked the neighbors, and learned that the family had moved to the county seat some time ago.
Zhou Shaobin was puzzled, and when he wanted to ask again, those people seemed a little impatient, and left straight away with their hoes.
In desperation, Zhou Shaobin had to return home. In the evening, he came to the well early and walked around the well several times. Suddenly, he heard some movement in the woods and decided to investigate. But when he turned around, Li Min was already sitting on the edge of the well.
You, from **?Zhou Shaobin asked puzzled.
Li Min put the wine and peanuts on the edge of the well and beckoned: "Brother Shaobin, come here, let's continue to talk about life." ”
Thinking of the embarrassing scene last night, Zhou Shaobin's face was slightly red, and he walked straight over and bowed: "Girl, next week Shaobin, a poor orphan, loves to read and write." If the girl does not dislike it, I am willing to marry the girl. ”
Li Min stopped, under the moonlight, her eyes flashed with a sparkling light, and she suddenly smiled: "Childe, what if I say I dislike you?"”
Zhou Shaobin was a little at a loss, so he could only reply: "If the girl can wait for me, I will definitely win the title of Xiucai in one year, and I will become the champion in three years." ”
Li Min took a sip of wine, as if saying to himself: "Your ambitions are high, but I don't want to wait that long." ”
Zhou Shaobin has only been with Li Min for a few days, but he has already felt her lively and cute, and she is kind-hearted. In addition, the two have become husband and wife, and Zhou Shaobin feels that he must marry Li Min as his wife.
At this moment, a voice came from the side of the road: "Shaobin, what are you doing there alone?"It's so late in the evening, let's hurry home. ”
Zhou Shaobin turned around and found that it was Mrs. Yin next door, carrying a large basket full of firewood.
Aunt Yin, I didn't say to myself, this is.
Zhou Shaobin wanted to lure Li Min over to introduce him to Aunt Yin, but there was no one around.
Even the peanuts and wine jars on the edge of the well disappeared with Li Min.
Maybe Li Min saw that strangers were shy, so he avoided them. Zhou Shaobin smiled at Aunt Yin: "Auntie, go back first." I'm here and want to write some articles. ”
After Aunt Yin left, Li Min stood up from behind the high well wall: "Brother Zhou, do you really want to marry me?"If so, I have a rule in my house. ”
Zhou Shaobin nodded: "Please speak." ”
Li Min looked mysterious and replied: "Tomorrow night, bring three pots of wine, respect the heavens and all sentient beings, circle the wellhead ninety-nine times, and swear to the heavens that you are willing to marry me, and that's it." ”
Zhou Shaobin didn't seem to understand, but he still nodded willingly: "Okay, you wait for me." ”
Then, he went home on his own.
After he left, Li Min's eyes were slightly condensed, she gritted her teeth, and walked straight into the well, as if that was her real home.
The next day, Zhou Shaobin met a Taoist priest dressed in gray on the way to herd cattle. The Taoist priest stopped, the dust in his hand was raised, and he frowned and said, "This young man seems to have some yin qi on his body, have you been in contact with anyone recently?"”
Zhou Shaobin saw this Taoist priest chattering, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, the Taoist is too worried." ”
The Taoist priest chased after Zhou Shaobin, and said to him as he walked: "Take this, you can save your life." ”
The Taoist priest stuffed a yellow talisman into Zhou Shaobin's arms, then turned around and continued walking.
Zhou Shaobin pulled out the yellow talisman and shook his head with a smile: "Believe in gods and superstitions." ”
He stretched out his hand, and the yellow talisman drifted away with the wind.
There is no moon tonight, Zhou Shaobin took three pots of wine, and according to Li Min's instructions, toasted to the sky, the earth, and all sentient beings. Then I went around the well a few times. When he walked to the 54th lap, suddenly, the Taoist priest he met during the day appeared again, and he grabbed Zhou Shaobin's sleeve and tried to pull it back. However, Zhou Shaobin's feet seemed to have taken root, and his strength was amazing, and he waved his hand and knocked the Taoist priest away.
The Taoist priest stood up and shouted, "I don't know the height of the sky, do you know that if you go, you will be dragged into hell by a female ghost?"”
Zhou Shaobin didn't seem to understand what the Taoist priest was saying, so he just continued walking. The Taoist priest was in a hurry, took out the yellow charm from his arms, let out a miserable scream, and the yellow charm was pulled into the well.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Shaobin cried, he tore off the yellow charm and threw it aside, and said to the well: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”
Then, he sped up the speed of his circle around the well. The Taoist priest sighed helplessly, chanting a mantra in his mouth.
After a while, Zhou Shaobin felt that his body was as light as a swallow, and there seemed to be a force pulling him towards the well. At this time, Zhou Shaobin came to his senses and was covered in cold sweat, but his body no longer seemed to be under his control.
Without hesitation, he jumped into the well.
At the bottom of the well, Li Min was wearing a wedding dress, her face was full of smiles, and she gently took Zhou Shaobin's hand: "Today we become husband and wife, this is our fate." Shaobin, I only hope to have this luxury. ”
The night spent at the bottom of the well was only a short moment outside the well, and suddenly, someone lifted Zhou Shaobin up, and he sat on the grass intact.
The Taoist priest's eyes widened, and he stepped forward in disbelief, tentatively examined Zhou Shaobin's snort, and found that everything was normal, and couldn't help asking, "Impossible, since the female ghost pulled you into the water, how could she let you come back?"Why is that?”
Zhou Shaobin came to his senses, and seemed to be a little confused about everything last night, and then he frantically shouted towards the well: "Li Min, come up, come up." His voice choked up.
It turned out that Li Min was a girl from an ordinary peasant family in the next village. In order to see his mother's doctor, he went out at night, and when he came back, he rested at the well, but he was loved by a man in the well. The two had feelings, and according to the current situation, the man tricked her into the well, the identities of the two were reversed, the man returned to the world, and Li Min became a ghost in the well. 
In recent times, Li Min is determined to find a replacement, and as long as she finds this person, she will be able to return to the human world.
Although Li Min has good intentions and sincere love for Zhou Shaobin, people are selfish. She didn't plan to give up Zhou Shaobin's life-saving straw. However, when he sincerely proposed marriage and carried three pots of wine, Li Min began to hesitate.
Just as Zhou Shaobin was circling the well, she made a major decision at the bottom of the well. She chose to go around clockwise, trying to remove the curse of soul exchange, only hoping that after a short meeting with Zhou Shaobin, they would rest in the dust and no longer intersect.
Therefore, after one night, Zhou Shaobin was firmly lifted back to the world by her.
A Taoist chief sighed deeply: "What is love, it can make life and death promise." ”
Just after this long sigh, a woman suddenly flew out of the well. She was dressed in plain white clothes, her face was beautiful, and her spirit was flying. She threw herself at Zhou Shaobin, and the two hugged each other tightly. 
The Taoist priest grabbed the person who looked like a "female ghost", but said in surprise: "This is not a female ghost?"”
Suddenly, he bowed to the sky: "The road is selfless, because people are selfless, only love can solve all problems." ”
It turned out that the yin qi in this well had accumulated and preferred to devour people's souls. Only by withholding the soul of man can it exist in peace. But there is also a secret to unlocking the spell, and the souls under the well do not harbor resentment, and use love to free themselves from the entanglements of this world.
After Zhou Shaobin and Li Min got married, they studied diligently, and finally gained fame and brought benefits to the local area. He has not forgotten the help of his hometown fathers and villagers, and strives to repay the kindness of his hometown with his own strength.
Author's Evaluation:
Zhou Shaobin is not a nerd who is dead studying, and he seems to have discovered the special features of Li Min's identity, but he still chooses not to use the yellow charm to hurt her. What's more worth mentioning is that although Li Min was deceived, he did not complain about God. At the critical moment, she chose to give up the harm to Zhou Shaobin with an attitude of respect and love, and saved herself with the power of love.
