During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a young widow Li Niangzi who lived with her deceased husband's children. Although Mrs. Li is young and beautiful, she has always kept festivals and never married, concentrated on raising her son, ran a small cloth shop, and lived a poor and stable life.
One day, a wealthy merchant came to Mrs. Li's cloth shop, and when he saw her, he fell in love with her and proposed to her desperately. When Mrs. Li heard this, her heart was very shaken, although she didn't want to remarry, she also wanted to live a rich life, and she wanted to give her son a good future. She thought about it and agreed to Wang Dacai's marriage proposal. Wang Dacai was overjoyed and immediately arranged a marriage, and soon the two became husband and wife. Wang Dacai took Mrs. Li and her son on his own merchant ship to his hometown to prepare for a grand wedding.
The merchant ship went up the Yangtze River, all the way was calm, Wang Dacai was considerate to Li Niangzi, and Li Niangzi gradually had feelings for him, and the two got along very harmoniously. Mrs. Li's son also likes Wang Dacai very much and often plays with him, and Wang Dacai also treats him as his own, teaches him to read and write, and teaches him the skills to do business. A family of three, happy and happy.
However, the good times were short-lived, and when the merchant ship reached a place called Menghugang, it suddenly encountered a storm, and the merchant ship was washed ashore by huge waves, the hull of the ship was broken, the cargo was scattered, and the people on board were nowhere to be found. Mrs. Li and her son were lucky enough to grab a piece of wood and drift to the shore, only to find that Wang Dacai was missing. Mrs. Li was anxious and looked around, but she didn't see Wang Dacai, only to see a fierce tiger jumping out of the mountains and forests and pounced on her and her son.
Li Niangzi was so frightened that she was so frightened that she hugged her son and wanted to escape, but it was too late, the tiger had already pounced in front of her, opened its bloody mouth, and was about to bite down. Mrs. Li only felt a sharp pain, and then lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she found herself lying in a cave with her son next to her, and the tiger. She tried to get up in horror, only to find herself wrapped in a cloth covered in blood. She looked down and saw a deep wound on her arm, which had been bitten by the tiger. She couldn't understand why instead of eating her and her son, the tiger had brought them here and bandaged her wounds.
At this moment, she heard a voice say, "Lady, you're awake, are you okay?" When she looked up, she saw that the tiger had turned into a person, a handsome and dashing man, who was exactly Wang Dacai's appearance. Li Niangzi was stunned, she couldn't believe her eyes, she asked, "You, who are you?" Why did you become a tiger? Why did you change back again? ”
Wang Dacai smiled bitterly and said, "Lady, I am your husband, Wang Dacai." I was originally a tiger, but I can transform into a human, so I can meet and love you. I've always wanted to tell you who I really am, but I'm afraid you'll be scared, so I've been hiding it from you. I deliberately arranged the storm this time, and I would like to take this opportunity to take you and my son to my hometown and live with my people. I didn't expect you to get hurt, and I didn't expect you to be so afraid of me. ”
When Li Niangzi heard this, she had mixed feelings in her heart, she didn't know whether to believe or not, she said, "Are you telling the truth?" Are you really a tiger? Do you really love me? Why are you biting me? ”
Wang Dacai said: "What I said is true, I am really a tiger, I really love you." I bite you because I want you to be with me forever, only in this way can you assimilate with me, become a tiger with me, and live with me. Lady, don't be afraid, as long as you follow me, I will give you the best life, I will protect you, love you, and not let you suffer a little grievance. ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she was even more conflicted, she didn't know what to do, she said: "I don't want to become a tiger, I want to be a man, I want to go back to my home, I want to go back to my cloth shop, I want to live a normal life." ”
Wang Dacai said: "Lady, don't say that, you are already my wife, you are already a part of me, you can't leave me, you can't betray me, you can't forget me." Come with me, and I will make you happy. ”
Li Niangzi listened to Wang Dacai's words, and her heart was very conflicted, she didn't know what kind of life to choose, she didn't know what kind of love to believe. She looked at Wang Dacai, and then at her son, her son was also bitten by Wang Dacai, and he would also become a tiger. She couldn't bear to let her son lose her humanity, and she couldn't bear to let Wang Dacai lose love.
She thought about it for a while, and then said to Wang Dacai: "Husband, I know that you really love me, and I don't want to hurt you, but I don't want to give up my life, and I don't want my son to lose his future." Can you let us return to the world, let us live a normal life, let us feel the warmth of the world, let us have some good memories, and then go with you, become a tiger with you, and live with you? ”
Wang Dacai listened, his heart moved, he thought about it, and felt that Mrs. Li's words were also reasonable, he also wanted Mrs. Li and her son to be happy, he also wanted them to have some human experience, and he also wanted them to love him more and be more willing to go with him.
He thought about it, and then agreed to Mrs. Li's request, and said: "Lady, since you say so, I promise you, I will take you and your son back to the world, let you live a normal life, and let you have some good memories, but you have to promise me, don't forget me, don't betray me, don't leave me, you have to remember that you and your son are mine, you are all tigers, you all have to go with me." ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she was overjoyed, she looked at Wang Dacai gratefully, and said: "Husband, thank you, I promise you, I will not forget you, I will not betray you, I will not leave you, I will remember that my son and I are all yours, we are all tigers, we will all go with you." ”
Wang Dacai said: "Okay, then it's decided, we will set off tomorrow and return to the world." After saying that, he hugged Mrs. Li and her son, kissed their foreheads gently, and then changed back to the appearance of a tiger, curled up in the cave, and slept with them.
Wang Dacai took Li Niangzi and her son, turned into a human, left Menghugang, walked along the riverside, all the way downstream. They walked for a few days, and finally arrived at a bustling city, which was the hometown of Mrs. Li.
Wang Dacai rented a house in the city, settled Li Niangzi and her son, and then went to the market, bought a lot of food and clothing, and prepared a hearty dinner for them. Mrs. Li and her son looked at Wang Dacai's actions, and they were very moved, they felt that Wang Dacai was really a good person, a good husband, and a good father, and their feelings for him were getting deeper and deeper.
Wang Dacai said: "Lady, son, we will live here for a while, you can do whatever you want, you can do it, if you want to go, you can go, I will accompany you, meet your wishes, and make you happy." Mrs. Li and her son said: "Husband, father, thank you, we are very happy, we want to see our relatives and friends, we want to see our cloth shop, we want to see our hometown, we want to feel the scenery of the world." Wang Dacai said: "Okay, then go, I will follow you, protect you, and accompany you." ”
So, Wang Dacai took Mrs. Li and her son to their relatives and friends' homes, to their cloth shops, to their hometowns, and to many scenic spots in the world, they laughed all the way, and left many good memories along the way. Mrs. Li and her son saw their relatives and friends, and their relatives and friends were very surprised and happy, and they all praised Mrs. Li for finding a good husband and a good father, and they all wished them happiness.
Mrs. Li and her son saw their cloth shop, their cloth shop has been taken over by someone else, but they still retain their name, their cloth shop is still very famous and very business, they feel a little relieved, but also feel a trace of nostalgia. Mrs. Li and her son saw their hometown, their hometown was still so beautiful and familiar, they felt a burst of cordiality and a sense of melancholy.
Wang Dacai looked at the expressions of Mrs. Li and her son, and his heart was also a little complicated, he knew their nostalgia for the world, and he also knew their love for him, he couldn't bear to break their happiness, and he couldn't bear to give up their love. He thought about it, and then said to Mrs. Li and her son: "Lady, son, we have been living here for a month, how long do you want to live?" Do you still want to go**? What else do you want to do? ”
When Mrs. Li and her son heard this, they were shocked, and they suddenly realized that they had forgotten time, their identity, their promises, and their fate. They looked at Wang Dacai and everything around them, and their hearts were very painful, and they didn't know how to choose, how to answer.
After thinking about it, they said to Wang Dacai: "Husband, father, we are already very satisfied, we are already very happy, we have no regrets, we are ready, we are willing to go with you, become a tiger with you, and live with you." ”
Wang Dacai listened to the words of Mrs. Li and her son, and his heart was very moved, he looked at them, his eyes were full of love, and he said: "Lady, son, are you really willing to go with me?" Don't you really regret it? Are you really not afraid? ”
Mrs. Li said to her son: "Husband, father, we are really willing to go with you, we really don't regret it, we are really not afraid." You are our relatives, you are our dependence, you are our happiness, as long as we follow you, we are not afraid of anything, we don't think about anything. ”
Wang Dacai said: "Lady, son, you are so good, you really move me, you make me happy." So, let's set off tomorrow, back to Menghugang, back to my hometown, back to our new life. ”
Mrs. Li said to her son: "Okay, we will leave tomorrow, go back with you, and live with you." ”
The next day, Wang Dacai took Li Niangzi and her son, turned into a tiger, left the city, and walked along the riverside, all the way upstream. They walked for a few days until they finally arrived at Menghugang, where Wang Dacai was his hometown and the habitat of his people. Wang Dacai took Mrs. Li and her son into his cave, which was his home and his paradise. Wang Dacai said to Mrs. Li and her son: "Lady, son, this is our home, this is our paradise, from now on, we will live here, we will be happy here." ”
Mrs. Li said to her son: "Husband, father, this is our home, this is our paradise, from now on, we will live with you, and we will follow you to be happy." ”
Wang Dacai said: "Lady, son, you are really my baby, you are really my heart, you are really my everything." I will always love you, always protect you, always accompany you, and will not let you suffer a little, not let you have a little regret, and will not let you have a little fear. ”
Mrs. Li said to her son: "Husband, father, we will always love you, always support you, always follow you, never let you down, never let you be lonely, and never let you be lonely." ”
After speaking, Wang Dacai hugged Mrs. Li and her son, kissed their foreheads gently, and then changed back to the appearance of people, lying in the cave, and sleeping with them. Since then, they have lived a happy life in Tiger Gang, and they have gotten along well with Wang Dacai's people, they have become a family, they have become tigers, and they have become legends.
