During the Ming Dynasty, in a large mansion in a small town, there was a burst of laughter, a delicate flower-like girl was playing a game of hide-and-seek with the maids, the girl was a little tired, so she lazily walked farther, stopped in the shade of a box window to rest, but she heard a man in the room say: "Liuxiang, tonight we must kill him cleanly and neatly, and we can't let any of the family property or Qing'er fall into his hands." ”
The little boy known as Liu Xiang answered very crisply and left, and there was no more sound in the house, but this sentence was enough to make the soul of the girl who eavesdropped outside the window fly away! Because this girl is no one else, it is Qing'er, her full name is Liu Meiqing, only sixteen years old, but delicate like a spring flower.
Liu Meiqing was arranged by her mother to live in the home of this distant uncle for two months because of the family's suffering, this uncle's surname is Gong, and there are two sons in the family, of which the eldest son Gong Xifeng is already twenty years old, and was arranged by his parents to learn martial arts from childhood, but after completing his studies, he could not bear the pain of the military camp, so he was idle at home; the second son, Gong Xiyue, liked to study since childhood, and is now only seventeen years old.
Both brothers are a table of talents, but Liu Meiqing got it, but the gap between the two brothers became bigger and bigger, what Liu Meiqing just heard was the voice of the eldest brother Gong Xifeng, and the object that Gong Xifeng wanted to kill was obviously Gong Xiyue.
That night, it was a grand Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, everyone in the Gong Mansion was rejoicing, but Liu Meiqing's heart was like a cat's claw, she must tell Gong Xiyue what she knew today, otherwise everything would be regretted too late!
Fortunately, halfway Gong Xifeng had something to leave, Liu Meiqing took this opportunity to sneak to Gong Xiyue's side, passed the word to him, let him take precautions, Gong Xiyue listened to it and still did not believe it, but he saw that Liu Meiqing did not look like a lie, that night he took a long sword and hid behind the door.
In the middle of the night, sure enough, a killer sneaked into the room and stabbed at Gong Xiyue's bed, and Gong Xiyue took a long sword and killed the killer, and the killer was Gong Xifeng's close companion.
Later, this matter was learned by Old Master Gong, who immediately divided several hundred taels of silver into his eldest son Gong Xifeng and let him go out to earn a living in exchange for a peaceful family, so Gong Xifeng left home with a feeling of annoyance and left for ten years.
In ten years, Liu Meiqing did marry Gong Xiyue as a wife, and the two raised a son and a daughter. In the tenth year, Gong Xiyue went out to do business for three months without sending a letter back, Liu Meiqing was worried in her heart, so she sat alone on the mountain in a sedan and wanted to go to a well-known local temple to burn incense, but unexpectedly encountered bandits halfway through.
The bandits killed people when they saw them, and soon the servants who followed Liu Meiqing were killed without a single one, but Liu Meiqing's palanquin was carried forward quickly, and I don't know how long it took, the palanquin stopped, Liu Meiqing came out of the palanquin but saw Gong Xifeng, who had not seen each other for ten years.
After Gong Xifeng saw Liu Meiqing, he shouted happily: "Qing'er, I did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me, not long ago my men killed a group of businessmen, one of them is your husband Gong Xiyue, when I learned of this situation, I was so happy!" I've been a bandit for you for ten years, and I'm waiting for today! Tonight is our cave night! ”
Gong Xifeng said, he arranged for his men to get busy, and by the evening, the whole cottage had been dressed up in joy, and even the wedding room was ready! Liu Meiqing was a little confused by the sudden change, and could only let the two maids change her wedding dress and push her into the marriage room.
On the floor of the wedding room, there was a thick layer of quicklime, Liu Meiqing remembered the stench of the two maids just now, didn't the people here take a bath and cover the smell with quicklime? Liu Meiqing thought wildly, and could only sit on the marriage bed, at this time she wanted to escape, but she did not have the courage for a while.
It is not that Liu Meiqing is cowardly, only because she still has young children in her family, and her husband has no news, at this time, if she dies, she is not willing after all, so she only wants to see the opportunity to act, but the turnaround will come immediately.
After a while, while the bandits were drinking wine and eating meat outside, a man dressed as a servant entered the door pretending to deliver tea, but when he reached the door, he quickly bit his middle finger, and then crouched down and wrote something on the threshold, and then the man whispered to Liu Meiqing: "Quickly pull the bedside down to block the bed, and then put on your shoes and come out, walking along the footprints you just entered." ”
Liu Meiqing was still a little hesitant, but when she saw the maid take out a yellow charm from her clothes and post it outside the door, she suddenly realized that this person might be a Taoist priest, so she immediately decided to put the embroidered shoes upside down and walked along the original footprints to the door.
After Liu Meiqing came out of the door, the maid quickly pulled her up and jumped out of the window of the outside room, outside the window was a large slope, the maid let Liu Meiqing put on her shoes, and the two people climbed the mountain with a rolling belt.
When I got to the entrance of a small village under the mountain, the male servant finally took off his outer clothes and revealed the Daoist robe inside, it turned out that this person was really a young Taoist monk, and the Taoist priest explained to Liu Meiqing: "Just now the bandits on the mountain were killed by another gang of people five days ago, but they were nourished by the yin qi on the mountain one by one, and they didn't know that they were dead, I saw you being abducted by them today, and I thought you would die, it turned out that you were a bride, so I only rescued you, that place can't stay, even I'm afraid!" ”
As the Daoist priest spoke, his face was a throbbing expression, and Liu Meiqing asked curiously, "Did you also sprinkle the lime in the wedding room?" I saw you bite your middle finger again and write on the threshold. ”
The Taoist priest said that the lime was not sprinkled by themselves, but the people themselves were rotten, but they thought that there was a peculiar smell in the house, and when they cleaned, they sprinkled lime, and if Liu Meiqing came out of the house with a big swing, it was difficult to disguise herself as the illusion that the bride was still in the house, so he let her wear shoes and escape.
The Taoist priest then said, "I wrote the word 'forbidden' at the door, all zombies can't jump into that threshold, they may be wondering at this time, at this moment I will quickly go back to ask for help, Madam, you go west along this road, ask for more blessings!" ”
After the Taoist priest finished speaking, the meteor walked towards a small road to the south, Liu Meiqing had to go all the way to the west, and finally she arrived in a small town the next morning, Liu Meiqing sold the beads on her head, and only then hired a coachman to send her home.
Less than half a month after Liu Meiqing arrived home, she really received the news of the death of her husband Gong Xiyue, who was said to have been killed by a group of bandits, and another group of bandits designed to completely annihilate the previous gang of bandits because of the red eyes of the money.
Among the people who were killed, the leader was the Young Master Gong Xifeng, who had been missing for many years in the Gong family, but strangely, this group of people had not long ago gone to the market to buy things, but they were killed earlier than that time!
Later, Liu Meiqing buried her husband and sent someone to collect The body of Gong Xifeng, and since then she has never seen the Taoist priest again, but only guarded her son and daughter until they grew up safely!
