During the Northern Song Dynasty, a woodcutter was cutting firewood in the mountains, and when a Miaoling woman fled, the woodcutter kindly helped her escape from the enemy, and the Miaoling woman made a promise to repay the woodcutter's life-saving grace and become his wife three years later. The woodcutter waited for three years, and finally waited for the beauty to return.
It is said that during the years of The Divine Sect, there was a small village in the west of Lin'an City, and there was a man named Xu Shan in the village. This man was a woodcutter, strong and tall, a Hercules of the village. Speaking of Xu Shan, the people in the village have mixed reviews, some people say that he is kind and simple, some people say that he is not filial piety and forgets his roots, and more people still say that he is stupid and cute.
Xu Shan originally had a pair of parents who loved him, and in order to tell him about the family affair, he entrusted countless people, but Xu Shan was unwilling. The second elder had a hard time making the character color a few girls, but as soon as he went to the door to propose to him, he was either made a chicken flying dog jump by Xu Shan, or he was scared by his ass and peeing. The second elder was so angry that he hurt God, and it didn't take long for him to die one after another. Since then, Xu Shan has become a single stick who has enough to eat, the whole family is not hungry, and no one loves to take care of it.
On this day, Xu Shan carried his firewood knife into the mountain again, and the light car was familiar with the road to the place where firewood was often chopped. Xu Shan's knife fell, and it didn't take long to cut two large bundles. Just as he was about to carry the firewood home, a rushing call for help came from afar.
"Help, help!" Xu Shan sniffed the sound and ran less than half a mile to see a young woman, gray-headed and dirty, and from time to time looking back, a look of panic rushing towards him.
Xu Shan thought to himself: In the wilderness, women are running around like this, if they encounter beasts, it is dangerous. He hurriedly stopped the woman: "Girl, Don't panic, have you met a mountain bandit?" ”
Seeing Xu Shan's tendon muscles and burly body, the Miaoling woman hurriedly said, "Big brother, you save me?" Someone chased me in the back, and if he caught up with me, I would be dead! ”
Xu Shan saw her panicking and said, "But you are not the way to run around like this, there are many wild beasts in the forest, and the people you chase after you like this have not been thrown away, if you attract those wild beasts, it will be even more dangerous!" ”
The Miaoling woman listened to Xu Shan's words and became six gods and no master, and muttered in her mouth, "What to do?" What to do? What am I going to do? Xu Shan could already hear some crying in her voice, and if there was no way, I was afraid that this girl would have a nervous breakdown.
Xu Shan was comforting the Miaoling woman while thinking of a way, and suddenly, he saw that he had cut two large bundles of firewood, patted his head, and said, "I have a way!" The Miaoling woman heard that Xu Shan had a way to help her get out of trouble, and looked at him expectantly.
Xu Shan pulled the Miaoling woman to the firewood, and he pointed to the firewood and said to the Miaoling woman: "You hide in the firewood pile, I will carry you down the mountain, you are not allowed to make any sound in the middle." ”
The Miaoling woman had no idea, and when she heard Xu Shan's words, she could only nod her head in agreement. Xu Shan saw that the woman agreed, and did not say much, re-opened the firewood, spread it out, and then let the woman curl up and lie on the firewood, Xu Shan found some soft grass branches to cover her, and then pulled the rope, the Miaoling woman was surrounded by firewood in a circle, and from the outside there was no trace.
After Xu Shan bundled the firewood, he picked up two bundles of "firewood" and hummed a song and walked down the mountain. Not far away, a man dressed in black walked towards him, and the man looked at Xu Shan with a serious face and asked, "Chopper, have you seen a woman beating this?" ”
Xu Shan knew that he was the one who chased the miaoling woman, he suppressed the tension in his heart, but his mouth was a little hanging, and he returned: "Strong man, you are not joking with me, how can there be a woman in this kind of desolate wilderness, if there is a woman, then I will not be able to resist going home as a daughter-in-law!" After saying that, Xu Shan also deliberately laughed.
The man in black saw Xu Shan joking, and he was not angry, he stared at Xu Shan for a while, and when he saw that there was no abnormality, he chased after him in the direction he had walked before. When Xu Shan saw the man leave, he did not dare to relax in his heart, and continued to pretend to hum a song and walk down the mountain, that look, as if the appearance of the man in black did not pay attention to it at all.
After about a quarter of an hour or so, Xu Shan felt that the man in black had gone far before he dared to relax, and he said to the young woman hiding in the firewood: "Girl, you have to be patient for a while, wait until I am in my house and then let you out, here I am afraid that it is not safe." ”
The Young Woman responded in a low voice, "Thank you Gong Engong, everything depends on you!" ”
Xu Shan carried the firewood to the house, the first time he released the Miaoling woman from the firewood pile, saw her appearance and let her go to wash up, and when the woman appeared in front of Xu Shan again, Xu Shan's whole body was shocked by the beauty of the Miaoling woman. Only to see the woman's skin win the snow, eyes are transparent, gu look forward to it, there is also a graceful posture, coupled with her cherry mouth, let people take it, ashamed of themselves.
Xu Shan stood still for a long time, and was awakened by the Miaoling woman's "Engong", and he quickly removed his gaze. The Miaoling woman did not wait for him to slow down and continued, "Thank you very much for engong today, otherwise the little girl is afraid that she will be poisoned by that evil person today." Such a great favor, my green clothes will surely spring up to repay each other! ”
At this time, Xu Shan only learned that the woman's name was Qingyi, and when he heard that she wanted to repay the favor, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it is just a matter of raising your hand!" When Qingyi heard Xu Shan say this, he quickly interrupted Xu Shan: "Engong, it may be a show of hands for you, but it is a life-saving grace for me!" If you do not abandon me, I would like to be with you for the rest of your life. It's just that it will be three years later. ”
Xu Shan saw that Qingyi's words were conclusive, and unlike a joke, he said: "Qingyi girl, you are as beautiful as a heavenly immortal, how can I dislike you, but at that time, saving you was not to make you promise each other, and your behavior made me feel uneasy in my heart!"
Qingyi did not wait for Xu Shan to continue, pressed Xu Shan's mouth with his slender fingers, and said quietly: "Engong does not abandon it, everything is easy to say, this matter is also voluntary by Qingyi, Engong don't need to be difficult, just forget Engong waited for me for three years." ”
Xu Shan could not refuse at this time, so he had to follow Qingyi's words and continue: "Qingyi girl, I will wait for you, don't say three years, thirty years I will wait for you!" ”
The two sat together again and talked for a long time before they rested, and when it was dawn the next day, Xu Shan found that there was no longer a figure of Qingyi in the house. A strong sense of loss arose in Xu Shan's heart, and he didn't know if what Qingyi said last night could be believed, but from this day on, Xu Shan walked around every day to the place where the two of them first met.
The sun rises and sets, three years pass in a flash, these three years, Xu Shan's mind is all about the figure of Qingyi, in addition to the daily thunder can not move up the mountain, he has become dull, often sitting alone in the courtyard in a daze, sometimes sitting for several hours.
On this day, Xu Shan sat in the courtyard again in a daze, suddenly a breeze blew up, a faint fragrance came from his nose, Xu Shan looked at the fragrance, a beautiful woman stood in front of him, Xu Shan rubbed his eyes, found the woman standing motionless, and when he looked again, the whole person stood in the courtyard, this woman was the green clothes he thought about day and night.
Qingyi looked at the burly man in front of her, and her heart was slightly sour, and she gently called out to Xu Shan: "Xianggong! Xu Shan's already standing body trembled, hearing these words, Xu Shan knew that Qingyi had not forgotten what he said back then, he slowly grinned, and then quickly rushed to Qingyi, hugged her into his arms, and talked about lovesickness. And Qingyi also told him the reason, and Xu Shan knew why he had to wait for three years.
It turned out that Qingyi was not a human being, but a fairy cultivating the spirit fox in the mountain, when she was cultivating to a critical moment, she was secretly calculated and injured, which forced her to flee, just happened to be saved by Xu Shan.
For the grace of saving lives, the Spirit Fox Clan attached great importance to it, after all, saving a life was like regeneration, and Qingyi should have repaid Xu Shan with her body at that time, but at that time, she could only maintain a short-lived form, and had to set a three-year deadline. Nowadays, Qingyi has been able to truly transform into a human, which is why he came back to find Xu Shan.
Xu Shan was not frightened when he learned everything, in fact, xu Shan had doubts three years ago, after all, how could such a beautiful woman appear in the mountains and forests for no reason, he even fantasized about such a scene himself. Therefore, Xu Shan did not have a trace of fear and dissatisfaction.
Qingyi re-took care of Xu Shan, and the two worshiped heaven and earth in the courtyard and became husband and wife. The people in the village heard that Xu Shan had married a wife, and she was as beautiful as a flower, and they came to see it.
With the passage of time, the story of Qingyi and Xu Shan was spread more and more in the village, because Xu Shan was slowly getting older, but Qingyi was still as delicate and beautiful as before. The idea that Qingyi is a goblin or a fairy has also become more and more widespread.
Decades later, in the middle of the deep mountains where Xu Shan was originally chopping firewood, in front of a simple thatched hut, a beautiful woman stood in front of a tombstone and whispered: "Xiang Gong, I have accompanied you to old age in this life, and I hope that we can still become husband and wife in the next life!" After saying this, the woman disappeared into the sky as a stream of light, and on the lonely tombstone, she left a crystal teardrop!
