It is said that in ancient times, there was a merchant named Pan Liang in Jinan Mansion. In the summer of that year, an old man in Changting Village, when he passed by a dilapidated temple with his burden, heard the cry of a baby, coming from the dilapidated temple. Pan Laohan was curious, the baby kept crying, why didn't he hear the sound of adults coaxing children.
So I walked into the ruined temple to check and saw that there was only a doll more than a year old inside, sitting on the ground and crying. Seeing this doll, Pan Laohan remembered his child. He originally had a child named Pan Dabao, but when Pan Dabao was three years old, he and his mother took a boat to visit relatives. On the way, the boat suddenly leaked, and the mother and son did not know how to be water, so they passed away.
When Pan Laohan heard the bad news, he fainted on the spot, and it was the neighbor who invited Lang Zhong to wake him up. He bracked up his body and took care of the funeral of his wife and children, and then fell ill. Later, I thought of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, just his wife and a child, what should the two old men do when they are old? The dead are gone, and the living are like this.
Thinking of this, Pan Laohan cheered up and said to himself that he couldn't fall, and now that his wife was gone, he wanted to provide for the two old people to the end. From that day on, Pan Laohan took the two old people to live at home. He went out early and returned late every day, carrying his burden to the countryside and villages, relying on buying some daily necessities from the county seat, and then picking up villages far away from the county seat to sell, so as to earn some hard-earned money.
A few years have passed, and although the three of them have gradually come out of their grief, they have lost their previous laughter, and their homes are always deserted. When Pan Laohan saw the child in the broken temple, as if he saw his own child, he hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the child, hummed a little song to coax the child, and took out the two buns on his body, broke them and fed the child.
After the child ate a bun, he finally stopped crying, his two big eyes blinked, and he looked at Pan Laohan with a sweet smile. At this moment, Pan Laohan also showed a long-lost smile. Pan Laohan stayed there for a long time, and he didn't see adults come to look for the child. It was already evening, and his dry food was given to the child, and he was already grumbling with hunger.
So he took the child home, and when the two old men saw the child, they also showed a long-lost smile on their faces, and kept coaxing the child. For several days, Pan Laohan went to the broken temple to wait, but no one came to look for the child, knowing that the child must have been abandoned. So he took the child into his son and named him Pan Liang, and since then, he seems to have endless energy, and he has worked harder.
With Pan Liang, there is more laughter and laughter in the family, and the family lives happily. Time flies, time flies. In a blink of an eye, Pan Liang has grown into a big guy, and a few years ago, the two old men left, and there was only their father and son left in the family. On this day, Pan Liang didn't see Pan Laohan get up for a long time, so he went to the bedroom to check.
After screaming several times in a row, he didn't see Pan Laohan respond, so he reached out and touched Pan Laohan's forehead and found that his forehead was hot. Pan Liang immediately ran to invite Lang Zhong, and Lang Zhong took Pan Laohan's pulse, with a heavy face. said to Pan Liang: "Your father's disease is not easy to treat, and I am not sure if it can be cured, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
When Pan Liang heard this, his face was panicked, his righteous father Pan Laohan was his heaven since he was a child, and the father and son had a deep relationship. Pan Liang hurriedly said: "Li Langzhong, please cure my father-in-law's illness, and I will repay you as a cow and a horse." Li Langzhong comforted: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best." Then he wrote a prescription and asked Pan Liang to grab the medicine according to the prescription and serve Pan Laohan well.
Since then, Pan Liang has taken over the burden of Pan Laohan and become a seller in the countryside. Not only do you have to take care of your sick father-in-law, but you also have to work hard to earn money, and you are busy every day. In this regard, Pan Liang did not complain, knowing that if Pan Laohan had not adopted him, he would have starved to death, so after a few years, Pan Liang still took good care of Pan Laohan.
As the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, Pan Liangneng has always taken good care of Pan Laohan, and he deserves the name of filial piety. Pan Laohan also knew that Pan Liang was filial, but his illness had not improved, and he saw that Pan Liang was twenty-five years old, and he had not been able to get a daughter-in-law. For his peers his age, children can make soy sauce.
Pan Laohan couldn't help but feel guilty, if he hadn't been sick and spent all his family's savings, with Pan Liang's kind and hard-working appearance, he would have been able to marry a daughter-in-law a long time ago. One evening, Pan Laohan saw that Pan Liang had come back from work, and he was still carrying a few packets of medicine in his hand, so he called him to his side. said: "Son, dad is an old bone, it doesn't matter if you leave a few days early or a few days later, you don't need to buy medicine for your dad anymore." Dad's greatest wish is to see you marry a daughter-in-law and live a stable life. ”
Pan Liang disagreed, and said, "Dad, why do you say such things again?" You can't let me bear the name of unfilial piety, as the so-called filial piety comes first, if I am an unfilial son, there will be no girl willing to marry me. So you have to be obedient and take medicine on time, and I believe that your illness will be cured. ”
After speaking, Pan Liang went to make dinner. Pan Laohan sighed alone there. At this time, there was a knock at the door, followed by a voice coming in: "Is anyone home?" I'm a passerby, it's getting dark, can I spend the night at your house? ”
When Pan Liang heard this, he walked over and opened the door. I saw an old man in his 50s standing outside the door, and at the same time, there was a smell of foxes. The old man opened his mouth and said, "This little brother, you can let me stay at your house for a night." I've asked several families along the way, and now I can't walk, so you can do it. ”
Pan Liang saw that the other party was old, and looked at the appearance of this dusty servant, as if he had been on the road for a day. Pan Liang is kind-hearted, and he will lend a helping hand to anyone in trouble on weekdays. So he invited the old man into the house, and he went to the kitchen to fry two more dishes. The father and son warmly greeted the old man for dinner together, and the three of them chatted while eating.
Only then did Pan Liang know that the old man's surname was Hu, and he went out to relatives this time. After the three of them had eaten, Pan Laohan rested early because he was ill. Pan Laohan saw Pan Liang's sad face, so he asked the reason. Pan Liang told Hu Laohan about Pan Laohan's wishes and the difficulty of not having the money to marry a daughter-in-law.
Hu Laohan thought for a while and said, "This matter is not difficult to do, you can go and marry the ugly and stupid girl in Dawan Village, I believe you don't even need to pay a dowry." "Speaking of that ugly and stupid girl, she used to be the first beauty in the village named Ma Fengmushroom, but she was fascinated by a single guy from ten miles and eight towns, and the threshold of the Ma family was broken by the matchmaker.
It's just that more than a year ago, Ma Fengmushroom suddenly had a strange disease, ** yellowed, pockmarked on his face, and his body still exuded a faint smell, and people became crazy. The once first beauty has become the first ugliness now. At the same time, the Ma family also became deserted, and no one went to the Ma family to propose marriage.
Pan Liang suddenly fell into memories, and his thoughts suddenly returned to three years ago. In the autumn of that year, Pan Liang walked on the mountain trail with his burden. Approaching came an Orion, who was carrying a cage containing a wounded white fox. When the two staggered shoulders, a voice sounded in Pan Liang's ears: "Good Samaritan, help me, help me." ”
Pan Liang looked around, but did not see anyone speak, when his eyes looked at the white fox in the cage, he saw that the other party was looking at him with tears in his eyes, that look very pitiful, his eyes were full of expectation. Pan Liang couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, he heard the older generation say that animals can shed tears, which means that it has intelligence, and it is a high-level animal with feelings, not a cold-blooded low-level animal, so don't hurt animals with feelings.
At the same time, I was secretly wondering, what was going on with that voice just now? Seeing that Orion was getting farther and farther, Pan Liang no longer bothered about this problem. He trotted to catch up with Orion, and in order to save the white fox, he asked Orion how to sell the white fox in Orion's cage. Orion originally planned to sell it in the county seat, but when he saw someone asking, he offered a price of 300 yuan.
Pan Liang counted the money on his body and found that there was only 165 Wen, so he said embarrassedly: "This big brother, you see that I only have 165 Wen, see if I can use the goods to offset the remaining 135 Wen, the goods in my burden, you can take whatever you like." Orion looked at it and said, "You don't have the goods I need, I'm sorry, I'd better take the white fox to the county seat and sell it." ”
Seeing that Orion was about to leave, Pan Liang's face showed an anxious look. At this moment, he saw the horse phoenix mushroom carrying a basket to go to the temple to offer incense. Pan Liang has been to the countryside and villages all the year round, and Dawan Village has also been to many times, and he has met Ma Fengmushroom a few times. In a hurry, he ran over and borrowed money from Ma Fengmushroom.
When Ma Fengmushroom learned that Pan Liang borrowed money to save the injured white fox, he said: "I have liked small animals since I was a child, and I think this white fox is very cute, and I will come up with the rest of the 135 articles." The two of them worked together to buy the white fox from Orion, and Pan Liang also took out a bottle of gold sore medicine from the burden and gave the white fox ** a wound.
After that, the two released the white fox back into the mountains and forests together, and when they saw the white fox walking freely through the grass, both of them showed bright smiles on their faces. Seeing that Pan Liang had been silent, Hu Laohan asked, "Why, you don't want to." Pan Liang's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to reality. He told Hu Laohan what he thought. In fact, he has always liked Ma Feng Mushroom, but due to his low self-esteem, he felt that he was not worthy of Ma Feng Mushroom as a poor seller, so he never thought of going to the Ma family to propose marriage.
Later, when he heard that Ma Feng Mushroom was sick, he secretly went to see it many times and quietly gave Ma Feng Mushroom something to eat. He thought about marrying Ma Fengmushroom, but Pan Laohan was sick, and Ma Fengmushroom was delirious, and he had to take care of two patients alone, and he was really unable to do it. If he marries Ma Fengmushroom back and doesn't take care of it, it will hurt others, so he hasn't proposed marriage.
Hu Laohan twisted his beard and said: "When I passed by Dawan Village, I saw Miss Ma once, and I was 100% sure that she would be cured of her delirium, but the pockmarks on her face were ...... for meBefore Hu Laohan finished speaking, Pan Liang said: "I heard the monk say that a person's appearance is just a stinky skin, and no matter how beautiful the flower is, there is a time when it withers, only the beauty in the heart is eternal."
What I fancy is the kindness of Miss Ma's heart, as long as she can regain her senses, then I dare to marry her. Hu Laohan smiled: "Then you can go and marry her, what I said will definitely be fulfilled." Pan Liang looked at Hu Laohan and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and felt that he was hospitable to Hu Laohan, and it was impossible for the other party to tease him.
So the next day, Pan Liang brought gifts to Ma's house to propose. Ma Fengmushroom's parents were very happy to see Pan Liangken marrying their daughter. They knew that Pan Liang was a kind and filial good offspring, and since he was willing to marry his daughter, he would definitely not treat his daughter badly, so not only did they not want a dowry, but also said that they would give a rich dowry.
Everything went very smoothly, Pan Liang's family didn't have much money, so the marriage was simple, on the third day, a few tables of banquets were set up, relatives and neighbors were invited, and a donkey cart was borrowed to welcome the bride back, and the two became husband and wife after worshipping the church. After the guests dispersed, Hu Laohan asked Pan Liang to take Pan Laohan and the bride to the living room to sit on the floor.
He sat cross-legged behind the two of them, with his left palm on Pan Laohan's back, and his right palm on the bride's back.
After a cup of tea, Hu Laohan's face turned pale and he withdrew his palms. At this time, Pan Laohan stood up and jumped happily a few times. said, "Son, my body is better." Not only that, Pan Liang saw that Ma Fengyu's appearance had also recovered as before, and his eyes had become clear, and he was no longer demented and crazy.
When the three of them were happy, Hu Laohan showed his original form and turned into a white fox. Pan Liang and Ma Fengmushroom were taken aback when they saw this, and the white fox said in a mouthful: "Don't be afraid, the two beneficiaries, I'm here to repay the favor." I am the white fox you rescued from Orion three years ago, and I was injured in a failed escape before I was caught by Orion. Fortunately, I met you who are kind, and I was able to escape. ”
The two of them took a closer look, and sure enough, they recognized Bai Gu in front of them. Pan Liang asked worriedly, "Uncle Hu, what's wrong with you?" The white fox said weakly: "In order to help you, I consumed three hundred Dao Xing, so I changed back to my original form. Now I have to start cultivating from scratch, and I can practice for another three hundred years before I can transform into a human form. Our white fox clan, only by transfiguring into a human form, can we go to the tribulation, and only by surviving the catastrophe can we become a fox fairy. ”
After hearing this, several people were very moved, but they didn't expect that the white fox would be willing to give up three hundred years of Taoism in order to repay his kindness. So the husband and wife sent the white fox back to the mountains and forests again, looking at the back of the white fox in the distance, Ma Fengmushroom's tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, and Pan Liang's eyes were moist.
Pan Liang took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of Ma Fengyu's eyes. With a worried face, he asked: Feng Mushroom, I married you when you were unconscious, and now that your appearance has recovered, if you really don't want to marry me, I won't force you to stay with me. If you don't want to, we can reconcile. ”
Ma Fengmushroom said coquettishly: "You fool, do you know that so many people come to my house to propose, why didn't I agree to any of them?" It's not that people's hearts are already full of you, how can they tolerate other people. And you, a fool, have never come to propose, I am a girl, how embarrassed to say it. This time thanks to Uncle Hu, otherwise we don't know when we will be able to get together. ”
Pan Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, took Ma Fengmushroom's hand, and the husband and wife returned home, and the lovers finally became married. Ma Fengmushroom's parents were suddenly cured of their daughter's strange illness, and the second elder was very curious, so he asked the reason. The husband and wife did not tell the second elder about the white fox, because it was too unbelievable, only said that a miracle doctor passed by the Pan family and cured Ma Fengmushroom's strange disease, and at the same time, a neighbor confirmed that there was indeed an old man who had stayed overnight at the Pan family.
After the two elders found out, they didn't ask anymore, and they all said that Pan Liang was a good retribution, so that the couple could live a good life. After that, Pan Liang continued to be his merchant and went to the countryside, while Ma Fengmushroom made embroidery at home, and then took it to the county seat to sell.
A month later, Pan Liang slept in a daze and dreamed that he had come to a meadow, where the birds and flowers were very beautiful. Suddenly, Hu Laohan came to his side and said, "Engong, put a mousetrap by the water tank tomorrow night." After catching the man, he immediately sent him to the county office. Ma Fengmushroom's strange illness was actually done by that person, and he wanted to get the punishment he deserved. ”
Pan Liang was furious when he heard this, it turned out that someone had harmed Feng Mushroom, who was that person, and why did he do this, he had many questions in his heart to ask. But after Hu Laohan finished speaking, he disappeared, which made Pan Liang puzzled and sat up from the bed. At this time, he realized that he was dreaming just now, and when he saw that Feng Mushroom also sat up, he told Feng Mushroom what he had just dreamed.
Feng Mushroom told him that she had just had the same dream as him. As soon as the two of them combined, they felt that it must be a reminder from the white fox dream. So the next night, Pan Liang put seven or eight mousetraps by the water tank, and after the couple blew out the oil lamp, they kept listening to the movements in the yard.
Until midnight, a woman's scream came from the courtyard. The husband and wife shouted, "Catch the thief......Then he rushed out with torches, and the neighbors heard the commotion and came to their aid. When Ma Fengyu looked at the woman by the water tank, she couldn't help but be taken aback, because the woman in front of her she knew, it was her neighbor named Liu Yan.
Pan Liang didn't care so much, he immediately tied up Liu Yan, and according to what Hu Laohan said in the dream, he escorted Liu Yan to the county government and handed it over to the government for disposal. In the lobby, the county magistrate asked with a majestic face: "Liu Yan, what do you want to climb over the wall to enter Pan's house in the middle of the night?" And what the hell is this little bottle that I found on your body? ”
Liu Yan hesitated for a long time and did not answer. The county magistrate shouted angrily: "You must have bad intentions when you went into someone else's house in the middle of the night." If you don't ask for the truth, I'll put the contents of the small bottle into your mouth. After Liu Yan heard this, her face changed greatly, and she knew that the small bottle contained a kind of poison. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
More than a year ago, she saw that Ma Feng mushroom was beautiful, it was the first beauty in the village, and people from all over the country went to Ma's house to propose marriage, and she was the second beauty in the village, and there were not many people who came to her house to propose marriage, so she was jealous. In a Jianghu Langzhong, ** bought this bottle of poison, and then when he went to Ma's house, he took advantage of Ma Fengmushroom's inattention and drugged her tea, so Ma Fengmushroom suddenly became ugly and stupid.
After Ma Fengmushroom became ugly, she naturally became the first beauty in the village, and the number of people who went to Liu's house to propose marriage suddenly increased by seven or eight times. And she has always wanted to marry a man who must be rich, handsome and chic, and have literary talents, so she has not taken a fancy to any of the people who have come to her house to propose marriage for more than a year, and she is almost 20 years old and has not yet married.
When she knew that Ma Fengmushroom's appearance had recovered, she heard many people secretly talking about it, saying that her appearance was really a grade worse than that of Ma Fengmushroom. Liu Yan couldn't listen to others say that she was not beautiful, so she wanted to do it again, and went into Pan's house in the middle of the night, wanting to drug her in the water tank. She didn't expect that Pan Liang would put a mousetrap next to the water tank.
As soon as she got close to the water tank, her toes were caught in a rat trap. She screamed in pain, panicked with fright, and then was tied up by Pan Liang. She is not afraid of heaven and earth, and she is most afraid of becoming ugly, so as soon as the county magistrate said that she would feed her the medicine in the small bottle, she immediately confessed and told the matter one by one.
After listening to the people watching outside the lobby, they all said: "Or the sages said well, marry a wife and marry a virtuous, a woman like Liu Yan is jealous, and she also has a femme fatale, can such a person marry home and sleep soundly at night?" Can there still be peace at home? Such a person, no matter how beautiful he looks, cannot be married. ”
Subsequently, the county ordered Liu Yan to be imprisoned and made to accept the punishment of the law. Many years later, Liu Yan was released, and her affairs had already spread all over the country, and in the end, no one was willing to marry her, and Liu Yan could only die alone in the end. Pan Liang's family, with the efforts of the couple, they earned a sum of silver, opened a shop in the county, the business was very prosperous, and they also had a pair of children, and the family lived a happy life.
