During the Qing Dynasty, in the quiet land, there was a shepherd named Jin Ziguang. Born with two horns on his head, towering like a sheep's horn, it is regarded as a bad omen and has been abandoned by his parents since birth. Fortunately, Jin Laohan, a benevolent old man herding sheep, adopted him as his own and raised **.
Time flies, and twenty years pass in a blink of an eye. Jin Ziguang has reached the age of marriage, however, because of his strange appearance, no village girl is willing to marry him. When spring comes, the grass by the river is green, and the golden light leads the sheep to the river to forage for food as usual. He has a special talent, just a shout, the sheep will obediently follow, scatter and eat, and when he returns home, he will respond again, and the sheep will come.
Sitting under the tree, the breeze blowing on his face, Jin Ziguang suddenly felt thirsty. Walking to the river, drinking water, I suddenly heard the sound of laughter in the distance. Curious, he quietly hid in the grass and followed the sound. Through the cracks in the grass, he caught a glimpse of a woman with skin better than snow and a beautiful face, bathing in the river. To his consternation, there was a short deer tail at the woman's tail vertebrae, with fine hairs.
Jin Ziguang fell into the water, and the sound alarmed the woman. She looked back and saw Jin Ziguang bathing himself, his face first showed anger, but after his eyes touched the two horns above his head, it turned to surprise. She hurriedly dressed and went ashore, her figure disappearing from sight. Jin Ziguang stood on the spot, his heart went with her, as if his soul had left his body. He felt that the woman was familiar and abnormal, as if they had met in **.
Sitting by the river all day long, lost in despair. He returned home after nightfall. The woman's figure lingered in his mind, making him toss and turn, unable to sleep. The next morning, just as he was about to go to the river to herd sheep again, the village's matchmaker Li stopped him with a smile on her face: "Silly boy, don't herd the sheep, your daughter-in-law wants to see you, pack up and follow me." ”
Jin Ziguang's eyes widened in disbelief: "Aunt Li, don't be kidding, which girl can take a fancy to me?" Mrs. Li looked at him and praised him: "Don't say it, you look very handsome, but those two things on your head are in the way." Manling, the daughter of Liu Yuanwai in the town, has taken a fancy to you, she saw you by the river yesterday and fell in love with you at first sight. ”
The gold light is like a falling cloud, unbelievable. He remembered the woman he had seen yesterday, and an inexplicable anticipation surged in his heart. When Jin Laohan heard the news, he came out of the house, and after hearing about it, he hurriedly asked Jin Ziguang to change into the best clothes, and then took over the sheep and asked him to go to Liu Yuanwai's house with Mrs. Li to see each other.
Drifting all the way to Liu's house, when he saw Man Ling, Jin Ziguang was convinced that all this was true. Manling sat him down, backed away, and began to tell her story. Once upon a time, there was a loving couple on a nearby mountain, they were a ram in the sky and a sika deer in the mountains. By chance, they were able to take human form, get married, and live a peaceful life in the mountains. However, the good times didn't last long, and a star monarch suddenly appeared, thinking that they were of different races and should not be together. He took away their cultivation and sent them to the underworld to suffer the pain of reincarnation. They agreed to be husband and wife in the next life, and left sheep's horns and deer tails as evidence when they were reincarnated. However, Yang Li Daxian had forgotten his partner after being reincarnated because he had drunk too much Meng Po soup.
After Man Ling finished speaking, she looked at Jin Ziguang with teary eyes. Jin Ziguang touched the top of his head, and then saw the deer tail behind Man Ling, and some scattered images flashed in his mind. He burst into tears and hugged Manling tightly. Later, Jin Ziguang and Man Ling became husband and wife, and because Liu Yuanwai only had this one daughter, Jin Ziguang became a son-in-law. After getting married, they also took Jin Laohan to Liu's family, and the family lived a peaceful and stable life.
