In the years of the Ming Dynasty, in Wangjia Village, Lishan County, Luzhou Prefecture, there lived a young couple who had been with each other since childhood. The man's name was Wang Erzhu, he was burly and powerful like an ox, and he carried heavy cabbage to the market every day to sell. However, his heart is not as broad as his stature, and he is always scheming with people over trivial matters.
But his wife, Cuihua, is in stark contrast to his character. Cuihua is a kind and gentle woman, she not only handles the trivial matters of the family in order, but also often cares for the old people in the village and helps them solve their difficulties. Her acts of kindness have earned her a great reputation among the villagers.
Although the life of this couple is ordinary, it is full of truth and kindness. Their stories, like the ancient locust tree at the entrance of the village, quietly tell the vicissitudes of time and the beauty of life.
That early in the morning, Wang Erzhu and his wife went to their vegetable garden as usual, picked a whole basket of turnips, and prepared to sell them in the town. Just as they were about to leave, his wife Cuihua suddenly shouted, "Zhuzi, don't be in a hurry to leave. ”
Wang Erzhu stopped, turned around and looked at Cuihua with confused eyes. Cuihua glared at him, then took out two baked cakes from her body, handed them to Wang Erzhu, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, you are really a big child, why are you always so careless?" Remember to eat on the road and don't let yourself go hungry. ”
Wang Erzhu looked at his wife who cared about him, and there was a mist in his eyes. He felt a trace of guilt in his heart, because over the years, he had not let his wife live too well and let her suffer with him.
So, Wang Erzhu hugged his wife without hesitation, kissed her eagerly, and then said to her firmly: "Cuihua, don't worry, I, Wang Erzhu, will definitely let you live a superior life." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Erzhu picked up a basket of radishes, did not look back, and embarked on the journey. Cuihua looked at his firm back, with a warm smile on her face, and she whispered: "Fool, I don't want to be rich and glorious, I just want to be with you every day, this is the happiness I want." ”
However, the world is changing, and fate often surprises people inadvertently. Two hours later, when Wang Erzhu was passing by a small forest, he suddenly heard a woman's cry for help. His brow furrowed, and his instincts told him that it wasn't easy.
Soon, he found a young woman in her twenties tied under a tree not far ahead, crying sadly. Wang Erzhu immediately walked up to her and asked in confusion, "Girl, what's going on?" How did you end up tied up here? ”
Don't hide it from the eldest brother, the little girl was sleeping at home last night, and suddenly a gust of wind blew up, and when I woke up, I saw that I was tied to a big tree! The woman sighed and said.
In the corner where no one noticed, the corners of the woman's mouth rose slightly, and an imperceptible weird smile crossed it. Wang Erzhu listened to the woman's words, did not have doubts, and immediately stepped forward to help her untie her.
At this moment, the woman's eyes became **, and a puff of black smoke poured out of her mouth, which rushed straight at Wang Erzhu. When Wang Erzhu saw this scene, his face changed suddenly, and he tried to dodge, but it was too late. He felt a wave of intense vertigo hit him, and he fell to the ground. He pointed at the woman and cried out in horror, "Who are you?" Why are you harming me? To his shock, the woman ignored his question and let out a shrill laugh. A moment later, the woman turned into a black light and attached it to Wang Erzhu's body.
At this time, the cuihua is still diligently watering in the vegetable garden. By the time she finally watered the garden, it was noon.
Afterwards, the green flowers and grass packed up their tools and set out on the way home. But half an hour, she just walked to the east of the village, and Zhang Laohan suddenly appeared in front of her. He was sitting comfortably in the sun at the door of his house.
Cuihua stepped forward and said with a kind smile: "Uncle, you are really comfortable living this day." "Hey, isn't this an emerald flower? Just got back from the field? Surely you haven't had dinner yet, right? Zhang Laohan raised his head and responded with a smile.
yes, I haven't eaten dinner yet. Get used to it. Cuihua replied. "Okay! You're young, you have to take care of yourself. Come and eat something at my house! Zhang Laohan warmly invited.
Uncle, you're welcome, I'll just go home and make some by myself. You rest on your own. Cuihua wanted to leave after speaking. "Cuihua, wait, did Erzhu get back the dry tobacco I bought from the town? Zhang Laohan asked suddenly.
Cuihua was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassed: "Oh, the cigarettes have already been bought, I was going to send them to you, but I forgot about it." "It's okay, I'm idle, so let's just go get it together, and take a walk by the way." Zhang Laohan proposed with a smile.
Cuihua took Zhang Laohan back to the house, however, when she walked to the door of the house and found the door wide open, her intuition told her that something was wrong. Her husband, Erzhu, usually comes home at night after selling turnips, but is now at home. Cuihua did not hesitate and walked directly into the house, followed by Zhang Laohan, his brows furrowed and his expression serious.
Cuihua walked into the house and was shocked to find Erzhu sitting at the table drinking tea. She shouted excitedly: "Xianggong, why are you at home?" Did you sell all the turnips? ”
Erzhu replied with a smile: "Yes, today I met a big customer, and he bought them all." I bought you this bracelet, can you try it? Cuihua was very happy, didn't think much about it, and wanted to walk over.
However, Zhang Laohan suddenly grabbed Cuihua and said loudly: "Cuihua, don't go over, he is not your father-in-law." ”
Cuihua asked suspiciously, "Uncle Zhang, what are you talking about?" He's my father-in-law! ”
Zhang Laohan said eagerly: "You stand behind me first." Then he quickly took out the garlic from his body and threw it at the second pillar.
Erzhu let out a miserable scream, and black gas came out of his body. A dark shadow floated up from Erzhu's body and slowly rose into the air. Cuihua exclaimed: "Li Ergou, why are you?" Aren't you dead? ”
It's all shocking and confusing. The man who originally thought it was Erzhu turned out to be Li Ergou, who had died. Everything in this home has become weird and dangerous.
One day 15 days ago, Cuihua was a little tired of her daily diet and decided to go into the mountains alone to hunt and look for some game. However, when she was halfway up the mountain, she suddenly felt stomach discomfort and urgently needed to find a place to make it easier. So, she quickly hid in the grass.
Just then, she heard a woman's cry in the distance, the voice full of fear and pain. This sudden sound frightened Cuihua. She cautiously walked over and found a strong man forcibly assaulting a woman. The woman begged for mercy and cried incessantly, her voice heartbreaking.
When Cuihua saw this scene, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited. She immediately picked up a wooden stick and rushed towards the strong man without hesitation. After some fighting, Cuihua finally repelled the strong man with a wooden stick. The strong man was stunned by the sudden attack, and then quickly fled the scene.
Cuihua walked up to the woman, picked her up, and comforted her. At this time, she also realized that the situation was very critical, so they decided to go down the mountain as soon as possible. However, in a panic, Cuihua took the wrong path and took the woman to the edge of the cliff.
At this time, the strong man had regained his senses and chased after him with a group of men. When he saw Cuihua and the woman standing on the edge of the cliff, he laughed and said, "You two don't want to escape, you are mine today." ”
Cuihua was extremely angry in her heart, and scolded the strong man: "You shameless disciple, don't come here, otherwise we will jump off the cliff." Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the strong man was even more excited and rushed towards them.
However, Cuihua was agile and quickly dodged the strong man's attack. But due to the excessive momentum and the slippery ground, the strong man suddenly lost his balance and fell directly towards the cliff. Suddenly, a terrible scream pierced the night sky, and the owner of the voice was Li Ergou. But after this scream, he disappeared without a trace, which is suspicious.
At this moment, when Li Ergou heard it, his face immediately showed a ** look, and he shouted loudly at Cuihua: "Cuihua, it's all your fault, if you hadn't been nosy at the beginning, I wouldn't have fallen to this point." I was killed by you, and I want you to pay the price. Then, he seemed to float over, trying to catch the green flower.
Seeing this, Zhang Laohan sighed, and then said loudly: "Assistant, when will the revenge end?" Moreover, you are not a good thing, and you are to blame. If you know each other, hurry up and go to reincarnation! I hope you can be a good person in the next life. ”
When Li Ergou heard this, he was instantly angry. He showed a ** expression, and said disdainfully: "Old man Zhang, I advise you not to meddle in things, this is a matter between me and Cuihua." As soon as the words fell, he rushed directly to Cuihua. Cuihua screamed in fright, turned around and hid behind Zhang Laohan.
Seeing this, Zhang Laohan quickly drew a circle with his left hand and a square with his right hand, and with a flash of golden light in the air, a 2-zhang long golden dragon appeared, rushing directly towards Li Ergou.
only heard a loud "bump", and after Li Ergou let out a miserable scream, he turned into smoke and disappeared without a trace. When Cuihua saw this scene, the tension in her heart suddenly eased.
After a while, she asked blankly: "Uncle Zhang, it turns out that you are a master!" How do you know the Fa? ”
Don't be afraid, Cuihua! It's nothing, I studied with a Taoist leader for a few years when I was young, so it's naturally easy to deal with this kind of little demon. Zhang Laohan explained with a smile.
After hearing this, Cuihua nodded. Suddenly, she remembered something and hurriedly ran to Wang Erzhu. She kept shaking Wang Erzhu and shouted loudly: "Xianggong, wake up quickly!" Don't leave me behind! ”
Cuihua, you stop first, and if you shake it again, the second pillar will really fail. Zhang Laohan hurriedly reminded.
When Cuihua heard this, she was frightened, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhang, why hasn't Erzhu woken up yet?" Hurry up and save him! ”
Cuihua, don't worry. I've got you covered! You stand aside first. Zhang Laohan comforted. Zhang Laohan stared at her fiercely, and then, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms and cautiously pasted it on the top of Wang Erzhu's head.
Then, he shouted: "Wang Erzhu, wake up quickly!" With this shout, a dazzling light broke out of his body and rushed straight to Wang Erzhu's mind.
After a moment of coma, Wang Erzhu slowly opened his eyes and asked Cuihua, "Cuihua, why am I lying on the ground?" ”
Cuihua immediately recounted the incident in detail. After understanding what happened, Wang Erzhu turned to Zhang Laohan and asked suspiciously: "Uncle, since Li Ergou wants to find Cuihua for revenge, why don't you just get on her?" ”
Zhang Laohan sighed deeply and explained: "Pillar, everything in this world has yin and yang, and ghosts belong to yin, and they are extremely afraid of righteousness. Your wife Cuihua is pure and upright, and no evil can get close. And you, obviously, did something bad to be possessed. ”
After Wang Erzhu heard this, he lowered his head in shame.
Seeing this, Cuihua angrily stepped forward and grabbed his ear and asked, "Tell me quickly, what have you done?" ”
Wang Erzhu grinned in pain, so he had to answer honestly: "When I sell turnips, I often have a shortage of catties and taels. ”
After saying that, he lowered his head in shame. Cuihua glared at him fiercely and warned, "Next time, I'll break your legs." Then he turned and walked away.
After this incident, Wang Erzhu changed his past mistakes and became more diligent and hardworking. Finally, with the joint efforts of the young couple, they became the big families in the village and lived a happy life.
In this society, we must be down-to-earth, and we can't get all kinds of small gains, otherwise we will always be the ones who suffer.
Good people have good rewards, always have a good heart, be less careful, and everyone can see clearly except themselves.
