Bustling past
The vicissitudes of the world
It's all human stories
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong raised an army in Hunan, and there was a general named Ma Xiongfei, who could pull open a five-stone hard bow and open the bow left and right.
Ma Xiongfei is a native of Hebei and has an extraordinary relationship with a man named Bu Dagong. This Bu Dagong is also Kong Wu's powerful and brave and good shooting, and the poetry articles are also first-class.
Bu Dagong had lofty ambitions and longed to make meritorious achievements, and when he was twenty years old, he saw that the four sides were disturbing and chaotic, and often ascended to the heights and silently sighed: "Now that the flames are everywhere, it is the time to use force, I should go to the battlefield to be a ten thousand enemies, kill the enemy and show my ambitions, how can I curl up in this study and fiddle with pen and ink?" ”
Since Ma Xiongfei followed Zhang Xianzhong, the three armies of the Yongguan Army have made many military achievements, and Zhang Xianzhong has been very kind to him, and he believes that he has met a bright lord who can make him exert his ambitions, so he writes to Bu Dagong and asks him to serve in the army as well.
In the eyes of confucian scholars, Zhang Xianzhong was a rebellious courtier and thief, how could a reader like Bu Dagong be willing to be with him?
Bu Dagong was very angry when he saw the messenger sent by Ma Xiongfei, and shouted in front of the messenger: "Did he think I would commit myself to the thief like him?" Looking at the face of the deceased, I will not send you to the official, you should leave immediately. ”
Bu Dagong sent the messenger away without even reading Ma Xiongfei's letter, which shows that he has a strong temperament and cares about his old feelings.
The ming court had a huge consumption of soldiers, so it was necessary to recruit a large number of soldiers, and Bu Dagong immediately enlisted, and soon because of his military achievements, he was promoted to a garrison of a prefecture and served in Shandong. The local bandits knew that he was brave and good at fighting, and did not dare to enter his jurisdiction.
Soon after, Zhang Xianzhong launched a major attack on Fengyang, Anhui, which was the hometown of Ming Taizu, and Inspector Ma Shiying asked him to immediately summon the world's soldiers and horses to defend the imperial tomb.
Bu Dagong was also among the conscripts, he was ordered to cross the Huai River, and fought with Zhang Xianzhong's army several times between Chuzhou and Surabaya, and won a lot, but in the end, because the northerners were not accustomed to water warfare, they were captured by Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates.
Zhang Xianzhong saw that Bu Dagong was brave and fierce, so he wanted to persuade him to serve himself, and knowing that Ma Xiongfei was a fellow countryman, he sent Ma Xiongfei to persuade him to surrender.
Bu Dagong saw Ma Xiong flying and closed his eyes without saying a word.
Ma Xiongfei took Bu Dagong's hand and cried, "How did my friend get to this point?" ”
Bu Dagong still closed his eyes and ignored him, and after a while he suddenly opened his eyes to stare at him and scolded loudly: "You and I used to hunt in the mountains and caught a rabbit, and at that time you said to me, the eldest husband should do national service, and the thief will be like beating a rabbit. But now that you have followed the thief, what face do you have to see me now? ”
Ma Xiongfei had nothing to say for a moment, and when he saw that he did not listen to the advice at all, he withdrew without a word.
Ma Xiongfei cared about the past love between the two of them, and could not bear to see him so gone, so he lied in front of Zhang Xianzhong that Bu Dagong was strong and inward, and seemed to be resistant to death, but in fact, he was afraid of death in his heart, and if he was put under house arrest, he would surrender in ten and a half days.
Since his subordinates loved to say this, Zhang Xianzhong also believed it, and immediately put Bu Dagong in an earthen house, sent soldiers to guard him strictly, and only gave him cold water and coarse rice, and only covered it with thatch, hoping to use this to flex his will and make him submit.
Bu Dagong originally thought that if Ma Xiongfei was scolded, he would be able to give himself a hard time, but he did not expect to be locked up, so he had to choose to go on a hunger strike and die with his full name.
Bu Dagong sat in the mud room, looking at the moonlight outside the window, thinking that he would soon return to dust, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and gently read: "When you go to the country and leave the country, you are full of blood stained with rainbows." ”
After Bu Dagong finished reading these two sentences, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the window: "The river does not bury the bones of heroes, so that the green luans can pass through yuexi." ”
Bu Dagong listened to the delicate and gentle voice outside the window, like a woman, felt very strange, and hurriedly approached the window and listened carefully with his ear.
Only to hear the voice outside the window and said: "A good horse occasionally loses its hoof, but it will eventually be lifted, and the eldest husband should cheer up his spirits, how can he end his life so easily?" ”
As soon as I finished saying this, I saw that the door of the earthen house had been opened. Bu Dagong looked up and saw that a woman had walked in, only fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed gorgeously and beautifully.
Just when Bu Dagong was stunned, the girl gently performed a salute and said, "I see that Xianggong is a loyal and righteous person, and I admire him very much, so I have come to rescue him, so please let Xianggong escape with me immediately." ”
As soon as Bu Dagong heard that he could escape, he was so happy that he didn't care about talking to the woman, so he went out with her. Fortunately, although there were guards outside the door, Bu Dagong did not wear shackles on his body.
The two were just about to walk out the door, but the woman stopped and said to herself, "You can't let them know who I am." ”
When she finished, the woman took her pen from her sleeve and wrote a few words on the wall. Bu Dagong saw that the woman was slow to come out, and shouted outside the door: "Go fast, go fast." ”
The two men quietly went out the door and saw the guards all lying on the ground as if they were drunk. This incident made Bu Dagong a little strange, but this was running for his life, and he could not take care of these things, and he would be killed after the woman.
Less than a mile away, Bu Dagong and the woman came to the river, and at this time there was already a small boat waiting on the river, and there was a small mane on the boat.
The woman took Bu Dagong on board and sailed south. Although the boat was small enough to accommodate three people, it drove quickly and walked very steadily on the river.
Bu Dagong was shocked for a moment at this time, and then he remembered to thank the life-saving benefactor: "Thank you for the girl's help, save me from escaping from the cage, dare to ask the girl's name, where the immortal lives, and will definitely repay the girl's life-saving grace in the future." ”
The woman listened to this, looked at Bu Dagong and smiled and said, "Xianggong still doesn't understand my intentions?" Just now in the two poems mentioned that the blue bird is me! I was already planning to fly with Xianggong, so why should Xianggong thank you? ”
Bu Dagong really did not expect that the life-saving benefactor in front of him actually had this meaning, just now he was still in prison, and now there are beautiful and beautiful people who promise to each other, and this gap is also too big.
Bu Dagong was beautiful in his heart, but his mouth was still modest: "I Bu Dagong is a martial artist, and the age difference between me and the girl is too much, what virtue can make the girl so favored." ”
The woman smiled lightly, "Xianggong is a great husband, I am a chaste woman, it is a pair created by heaven and earth, how can I calculate what age like a small family woman." ”
The woman quickly reported herself to the door of the house, saying that her surname was Ma, wordless, and that Jiangsu and Zhejiang would be the clan of the people. Bu Dagong asked her how she had come here and how she had entered the mud house to rescue herself, but the woman just smiled and did not answer.
The boat walked to the quarry, and by this time it was already dawn, and Miss Ma asked the lady to prepare a meal. It didn't take long for the squirrel to serve a delicious meal.
Bu Dagong had not eaten for several days, and at this time he could not take care of any etiquette, and immediately swallowed it.
After eating and drinking enough, Miss Ma asked Bu Dagong to rest for a while, and then untied the cable and continued to hurry. When he woke up, the boat had reached the Qiantang River.
Bu Dagong got up and looked at the river, only to see the evening tide rising on the river, roaring in the form of mountains and seas, and the surging roar shook the sky, just like thousands of iron horses rushing to kill.
Bu Dagong had never seen such a shocking scene before, and suddenly remembered the battlefield where he led his troops to charge and shout and kill, and his heart was greatly frightened.
Miss Ma said to Bu Dagong from the side: "These thousand miles of waves are said to be the roar of Wu Zixu because of the murder of his father and brother, don't you know that Xianggong does not know?" ”
The boat on which the three of them were riding went up against the current, and the snow waves crashed into the air, without fear. After another half a day, Miss Ma said to Bu Dagong: "It's not far from my home, you can go ashore." ”
Bu Dagong followed Miss Ma to the shore, found that the mane did not follow, and looked back, the boat and the mane had disappeared.
Bu Dagong felt very strange and wanted to ask where Miss Ma had gone, but she saw that Miss Ma was like no one else, so she swallowed the words back.
In fact, at this time, Bu Dagong had completely recovered from his unsettling, thinking that from Miss Ma's appearance to the present, too many things had happened that made him difficult to understand. With a strange mind, he followed Miss Ma nervously.
The two of them walked for half a mile to a village surrounded by small rivers and surrounded by lush vegetation and excellent scenery.
Entering the village and walking north, I saw a large mansion in the distance, the gate facing east, stretching for half a mile, carved beams and paintings, magnificent, above the eaves there is a stone plaque with three large blue characters: "Samrong Province".
When she came to the door, Miss Ma specially instructed Bu Dagong: "After arriving at my house, Xianggong should talk as little as possible, and everything will be arranged by me, otherwise it will be bad." ”
Bu Dagong didn't understand what she meant by this, so he just nodded his head in agreement.
At this moment, a teenager just came out of the door of the mansion, slowly wearing a light coat and being personable.
When the teenager saw Miss Ma, he acted very surprised, and immediately caught up and asked, "Why did my sister come back alone and my father also came back?" ”
Miss Ma was distressed when she saw the teenager: "Luzhou has been attacked by thieves, and my father unfortunately martyred himself." Fortunately, this general saved me and personally sent me back. This is Bu Shoubei of Shandong. ”
When the teenager heard the news of his father's death in battle, he cried and hurriedly welcomed Bu Dagong into the house and arranged for him to be in the guest room, and before he could be polite with him, he took Miss Ma to the inner room.
Bu Dagong sat alone in the guest room, and soon heard a heart-rending cry coming from inside, and the voices were men and women, old and young, Bu Dagong listened, and he couldn't help but be moved.
After a while, the young man came out of the inner hall and was already dressed in a crown.
The young man burst into tears, gave Bu Dagong a polite slap, and said apologetically: "Thank you General for rescuing your sister." Just after learning the news of his father's death, the whole family was in pain, and they neglected the general, hoping that the general would not blame. I was ordered by my mother to invite the general to come in and speak. ”
Bu Dagong followed the young man into the inner hall, saw a group of maids and old servants surrounded by an old lady in her forties to greet him, and after seeing Bu Dagong, he said: "It is a shame that the undead cannot follow their husbands to martyr the country. The little girl relied on the general to rescue her, and she must thank the general heavily. ”
After speaking, the old lady took the whole family to give Bu Dagong a salute.
Bu Dagong knew that this must be the old lady of the Ma family, and did not dare to accept her courtesy, but Miss Ma had repeatedly told him not to tell the truth, so he had to pretend to be polite.
The old lady invited Bu Dagong to sit down, offered fragrant tea, and then said: "I already know the marriage contract between the general and the little girl, please let the general stay for the time being, and when the aftermath is done for the husband, I will handle it for the two of you." ”
Bu Dagong quickly gave the old lady a salute as a son-in-law, and the old lady accepted it with tears, and then asked people to clean a room for him, and all the food and clothing were very exquisite.
Bu Dagong privately inquired about the situation of the Ma family, and only then did he learn that Mr. Ma Lao's name was Zhongji, and he had sacrificed his life for the country in Luzhou. The Ma family was originally a family of hao, Mr. Ma Lao raised his family with martial arts, the official to the general, had two wives, one with him, and one living at home. Miss Ma has always been with her father, and the teenager is her half-brother.
The next day, the old lady and the prince put on a ma dai filial piety and set up a sacrifice for the old general Ma To summon the soul. Bu Dagong did his best to handle the funeral, and his relatives and friends regarded him as the son-in-law of the Ma family.
After the seventh day, the old lady and the prince summed up and chose a good day to recruit a great contribution to the Ma family.
On the night of the cave candles, Bu Dagong had the kung fu to ask Miss Ma: "You are my savior, why do you tell your family that I saved you, I am really ashamed." ”
Miss Ma shed tears again at this time and said slowly, "I also have my grievances, I am worried that you will be afraid after listening to it, so I have not dared to tell you the truth." Now that we are married and our names are set, I don't want to deceive you anymore. Moreover, Xiang Gong is a hero in the world, and even if he says it, he will not be afraid. ”
Miss Ma said, "Actually, I am no longer human, I have long been a ghost in Hades." Before I died, I followed my father to Luzhou to take office, but I did not expect to encounter Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion, the city fell, and my father also died on the battlefield.
On the day of the city's destruction, my whole family fled in panic, and my old mother died hanging from a beam, and I was planning to end myself, but I didn't expect the thieves to break in. Zhang Xianzhong's bandit leader Ma Xiongfei saw my beautiful appearance and actually wanted to commit violence against me.
I first stabilized him with words and died while he was not paying attention to the well. When I arrived at the Yin Cao Mansion and met my father, I learned that my father was also shot by Nama Xiongfei.
Because I was resentful and unwilling to reincarnate, the lonely mountain sister took pity on me, gave me alchemy, and cultivated into a ghost immortal. The lonely mountain sister said that I was destined to give a pint of commandments and be able to avenge my father.
Later, I bid farewell to the lonely mountain sister-in-law, saw xianggong was captured and imprisoned, so I rescued xianggong and repaid my father's revenge by Xianggong's hand. Yesterday, when I went to Huainan, I learned that the thief Ma Xiongfei had been beheaded, and that the revenge of not sharing heaven had been repaid. ”
Bu Dagong was very surprised after listening to Miss Ma's story, but he was not afraid at all, and he did not believe it very much.
Bu Dagong asked Miss Ma how she took revenge, and Miss Ma replied: "When I was saving Xianggong, I wrote the words 'Ma Ye the Prisoner' on the wall of the cell, and That Zhang Zhongzhong was very narrow-minded and suspicious, and indeed suspected that Ma Xiongfei had beheaded him without waiting for him to defend himself because he was an old acquaintance with Xianggong. I went to the thief's camp to see that his head was still hanging on the gate. ”
Bu Dagong listened to this, still couldn't believe it, and asked who the little girl who drove the boat was, and why her boat disappeared in the blink of an eye?
Miss Ma replied, "That's the maid beside the lonely mountain sister, otherwise how could we walk on the ground on the top of the Tao Tao River and come thousands of miles away in one day?" ”
Bu Dagong felt that Miss Ma should not deceive him, and the strange things that happened when he rescued himself from the excavation house were still vividly remembered, not like fakes, but he still couldn't believe it in his heart.
However, today is the night of the cave flower candle after all, even if you don't believe it a little, you can't delay the right thing. Three days later, the old lady threw a feast for the two of them and entertained friends and family.
After living in the Ma family for more than half a month, Miss Ma told Bu Dagong that there would soon be relatives and friends returning from Luzhou, and then her secret would not be kept, so it was not possible to stay here for long.
So Miss Ma lied that Bu Dagong was homesick and planned to rush back to her hometown. Mrs. Ma could not keep it, and sent the two of them a few thousand taels of silver for future expenses.
The two men found a place and bought a house to live in. In the meantime, there were always small groups of thieves to rob, Bu Dagong bought armor, knives and guns, rode horses and bent bows to kill several robbers in a row, the rest of the thieves fled one after another, and the nearby people relied on him to avoid being invaded by thieves.
Later, the imperial court recruited soldiers again, and Bu Dagong planned to enlist, and Miss Ma cried and blocked: "If the situation changes today, it is not the time for Xianggong to go out of the mountain, or live in seclusion with me temporarily, and wait until the next day when there is an opportunity to go out of the mountain, then Xianggong will definitely have great achievements." ”
Bu Dagong listened to Miss Ma's words and lived in the countryside all the time.
Dou Zhuanxing shifted the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty Ding Zhongyuan, Bu Dagong fang out of the mountain, and later repeatedly built Qigong, the official to the general soldier, Miss Ma also followed by the order of the commandment.
In the eighth year of Shunzhi Xin, Bu Dagong was sent to serve in the Huxiang area and captured several minor generals under Zhang Xianzhong. Bu Dagong asked them about Ma Xiongfei's whereabouts, only to learn that Ma Xiongfei had indeed been killed by Zhang Xianzhong because Bu Dagong had escaped.
Bu Dagong fully believed Miss Ma's words at this time, remembering that Ma Xiongfei also had the grace of not killing him, so he set up a ranking memorial for him.
Bu Dagong was still in good spirits after the age of seventy, gave birth to two sons, and also held military positions.
After Bu Dagong died and finished his affairs, Mrs. Ma lived alone in her bedroom and suddenly disappeared one night.
Some family members who knew the inside story thought that she had followed the little sister-in-law of the Lonely Mountain, sorted out the clothes she had worn, and buried them with Bu Dagong.
The story is from "Firefly Window Strange Grass", which is purely blind.
