There is a local snow girl, not only beautiful but also very intelligent, with a good ability to pickle pickles, the fame spread, people affectionately called her "little red lady in the snow". On this day, the snow maiden was picking pickles, when suddenly a man panicked and asked her for help: I am King Kang to save me! ”
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, no one hesitated, only the pickle urn could hide people, and the snow girl hid king Kang in the empty urn, and then covered it with fresh vegetables, which allowed king Kang to escape the disaster. When Jin Bing was far away, King Kang quickly climbed out and looked at this man who was ragged, hungry and thirsty.
There are no ingredients at home, only pickles and a yellow fish sent by ah shui, the boyfriend who fished in the morning, the snow girl felt pity, so she burned a bowl of salted yellow fish soup and gave it to King Kang, King Kang did not look ugly, a wolf, he felt that he had never eaten such a delicious thing in his life, of course, where there were pickles in the palace to eat.
Later, King Kang's reinforcements arrived, and the Snow Maiden gave King Kang a jar of snow pickles. King Kang said to the Snow Maiden, "You are my savior, and when you return to Beijing in the future, you will definitely be rewarded."
Finally, one day, King Kang returned to Lin'an and resumed his luxurious life of gold clothes and jade food. But he asked the imperial chef to make pickle yellow fish, that is, there was no taste of the snow girl made, and finally one day, he really couldn't hold back, and ordered someone to go to Mingzhou to pick up the snow girl.
After the Snow Maiden rushed to the capital thousands of miles, King Kang was overjoyed and immediately declared his decree, "Remembering your meritorious deeds in saving the driver, I canonize you as..."
Full of lust! Speaking of this, the Kang King, who has eaten too much, lusts his heart, and covets the appearance of the snow girl, which is fresh and vulgar, and this Ningbo girl is really beautiful and wise, which is really heartwarming. So the "Princess Siming" who came to her mouth became "entering the palace as a concubine".
After hearing this, the Snow Maiden was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and hurriedly said, "Emperor, you can't take revenge!" The people's daughter already has A Shui, the fiancé of Qingmei Bamboo Horse, and will never marry anyone else again! ”
King Kang sighed for a moment and said, "Then, seal Ah Shui as the prefect of Mingzhou, let him retire from marriage, and marry another beautiful woman."
The Snow Maiden said firmly, "I have no guess with Ah Shui, just like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and I will not be separated from each other when I die!" ”
After King Kang heard this, he had a poisonous plan and ordered someone to take Brother Shui to the capital to persuade the Snow Maiden. After the two of them met, they hugged their heads and cried, scolding King Kang for being dazed and unreasonable, and En would take revenge for this, and it was better to smash the dog emperor with a salty stone. Kang Wangyi listened to something! Furious, he beat Ah Shui into heavenly prison. In order to save Ah Shui, the Snow Maiden had to promise King Kang to enter the palace as a concubine.
But she put forward two conditions:
First, release Aqua.
Second, she was allowed to return home to visit her parents.
After Ah Shui was released, the Snow Maiden advised him to flee to the sea quickly. After returning to Mingzhou, he first paid homage to his ancestors and bowed down to his parents. In the end, she cried goodbye to the father and elder of the villagers in Mingzhou, and before getting into the car, she died before hitting the wall.
The Snow Maiden died unjustly, and the people of Mingzhou were furious and wanted to rebel and kill King Kang in the capital. In the end, King Kang had to posthumously honor the Snow Maiden as a martyr of the Loyalty and Filial Piety Festival, and only then did he quell the rebellion.
