During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, there was an old man in Kunshan County with the surname Xu, who was over fifty years old and had a daughter Danmei with his wife. Unfortunately, his wife died of a bloody collapse after childbirth, leaving him and his daughter to live together.
Xu Laohan's family is poor, since the birth of his daughter, life has been more difficult, in order to make more money, he has not worked day and night. Dan Mei has been sensible since childhood, and does not cry or make trouble with her father.
In the blink of an eye, Dan Mei grew to twelve years old, one day, she and Xu Laohan went out to work, and just when she went out, she saw a teenager in a Chinese costume lying in the corner of the wall, he was dying, and he saw that he would not be able to live. Xu Laohan picked up the teenager and went straight to the medical center, followed by Dan Mei.
After arriving there, Lang Zhong glanced at the teenager and said happily, "Fortunately, it was sent in time, and if it was a quarter of an hour later, I was afraid that my life would not be guaranteed." Then the conversation turned sharply, asking Xu Laohan to pay for the consultation. Xu Laohan asked how much money it was, and Lang Zhong said, "Five or two pieces of silver." ”
Xu Laohan's eyes widened and he shouted, "So expensive? I only make two or two pieces of silver a year. Lang Zhong said impatiently: "Either take the money or take him away, you look at it?" Seeing Lang Zhong say this, Xu Laohan was silent, thinking that it was not worth it for a teenager who had never known each other.
At this time, Dan Mei shouted, "Father, don't hesitate, it is important to save him." Old Man Xu gritted his teeth and nodded, turned around and went back to get the money, and the teenager's closed eyes suddenly jumped.
As soon as Xu Laohan walked to the door of the house, he saw a middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament step down from the palanquin and asked him if he could meet a teenager? Xu Laohan's eyes lit up, and he said that the teenager was rescued to the medical center. Subsequently, the two came to the medical hall, and the middle-aged man cried bitterly when he saw the teenager, and instructed Langzhong to cure his son.
During the waiting, several people began to talk, and the middle-aged man claimed to be surnamed Xie and was a businessman. The boy was his son, named Xie Xiaofeng. Because of the gambling gas, he ran out of the house, and when he found him, it would become like this, and Xu Laohan would also tell him again. After a period of greeting, Xie Fuhao took out a piece of silver as a reward, and the father and daughter said why not.
When the two were about to leave, Xie Xiaofeng shouted in the room: "Thank you sister for saving your life, if you don't hate to go to my house later, you and I will study together." Xie Fuhao helplessly left an address, and Xu Laohan thanked him gratefully and took his daughter away.
Half a month later, Xie Xiaofeng recovered from his injuries, and Dan Mei came to the Xie family to study with his father's consent. Xie Xiaofeng saw her coming and said excitedly, "After that, we will be the same window." Dan Mei also nodded happily, Xie and his wife did not agree, hindered by their son's liking, can only open one eye, close one eye.
Time flickered for five years, and after several years of getting along, the two children had already developed feelings for each other and decided to marry.
One day, Xie Xiaofeng found his parents to discuss the marriage, Xie Fuhao was furious, and angrily said: "Five years ago, the Xu family saved your debts and paid off long ago, why bother with Dan Mei again, and then say that becoming a relative pays attention to the door, do you think you deserve it?" Xie Xiaofeng argued according to reason, saying that feelings do not have to be right at home, as long as the two are happy with each other, they can be married.
Just when the father and son were arguing endlessly, Mrs. Xie entered the house to persuade the two to calm down, and said: "If the son wants to get married, he will do it." I agree. Xie Fuhao was stunned, until he saw Mrs. Xie squeezing her eyebrows and making eyes, and she didn't understand it. After her son left, Mrs. Xie lay down in her husband's ear and said a few words, and Xie Fuhao's heart was shocked, and he finally agreed after thinking about it.
Not long after, the two children married, and after marriage, Mrs. Xie found someone, hoping that they would go out to play and take the opportunity to make Dan Mei pregnant. Xie Xiaofeng blushed and rushed to take his wife away.
The couple discussed it and decided to go to Suzhou to play, and it was uncomfortable to swim in the landscape along the way. On this day, the two of them went to a big mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, there happened to be an old road stall to tell fortunes.
Lao Dao suddenly stopped Dan Mei and asked, "I see that my wife's face is different from ordinary people, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get pregnant and give birth to children in the future." Dan Mei's face changed, busy asking the old way to solve the problem, he took out a small jade bottle, poured out a Pill, and said: "Take this medicine, quasi-guarantee crack." ”
At this time, Xie Xiaofeng advised his wife: "This old way is only afraid of being a liar, so let's go." Dan Mei said, "I'd rather believe that there is no trust in it, we both came to have children, in case we miss this opportunity, I am afraid of regretting it." After saying that, she swallowed the elixir. After the couple left, Lao Dao suddenly showed a bad smile and disappeared into the same place.
Since taking Dan Medicine, Dan Mei has become more and more feminine and charming, and has been in the room with Xie Xiaofeng all day, and has not been out for a whole month. Perhaps he was squeezed too dry by Dan Mei, and after returning home, Xie Xiaofeng fell ill and died not long after.
The Xie couple cried bitterly, especially Mrs. Xie, pulling over their daughter-in-law and saying fiercely, "What did you do to my son?" Dan Mei said lightly, "Mother-in-law, it's not that you said you wanted me to get pregnant early, it's your son who is not useful." ”
Madame Xie was furious and just wanted to slap her face, but she was pushed by Dan Mei, and she was frightened and said, "You roll for me, and from now on you have nothing to do with the Xie family." Dan Mei smiled and said, "I have this intention." "After saying that, I left without looking back."
When Xie Fuhao saw the situation, he wondered, "Is there a mistake in the middle?" It is reasonable to say that she should die. Madame Xie said angrily, "This vendetta will not be repaid, and the oath will not be a man." ”
Leaving the Xie family, Dan Mei moved to her old house and has not returned since Xu Laohan died three years ago. When I arrived at the house, I found that the beams of the house were about to collapse, and I decided to find a carpenter to help repair the house.
The next day, a carpenter named Yu Haoyang actually took the initiative to come to the door, and Dan Mei was curious: "Why do you know that I want to repair the house?" Yu Haoyang said, "It's not a secret, my family lives nearby, I knew early on that there was a problem with this house, and I saw my wife move in recently, so I came to help." ”
Dan Mei listened and thanked him again and again, and busied himself with entering the house. The carpenter glanced at her bumpy figure, revealing a greedy look, and quickly returned to normal. After a few moments, Yu Haoyang repaired the beam and took advantage of Dan Mei's lack of attention to hang the little wooden man on the beam.
Seeing that the beams were restored as before, Dan Mei thanked him: "Thank you, please eat another day as a thank you." Yu Haoyang said on his lips that it was all right, but in his heart he said joyfully: "Hey hey, it won't be long before we see each other again." "Turn away.
In the middle of the night, Yu Haoyang sneaked into Dan Mei's house, sneaked into the boudoir, saw that she was sleeping, and threw herself into bed with a few bad laughs. Dan Mei opened her eyes slightly and asked, "What do you mean by that?" Yu Haoyang said, "Madam, you will know in a moment." After saying a few words in his mouth, he was going to do something wrong to him.
Who knows, Dan Mei smirked and "clicked" and pulled off Yu Haoyang's arm, and then took out a small wooden man and threw it at him, saying: "This thing alone can't control me, oh yes, during the day I don't mean to invite you to dinner, I'm ready." ”
As soon as the words fell, a boiling oil pan appeared out of thin air, Dan Mei threw that arm into it, and after a while it was fried, she fished out her arm and said to Haoyang: "Jump in yourself, otherwise..."
Yu Haoyang swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit in fright, and said: "It is not a secret, I was entrusted by Xie and his wife to harm you, and now, I think that my skills are inferior to those of others, I only hope that before I die, I will understand and dare to ask who you really are?" ”
Dan Mei smiled, "I was originally a snake demon, and I was also entrusted by the couple to prepare to kill Dan Mei." ”
In fact, the real Dan Mei was already dead, and the Dan Mei in front of him had already been possessed by the snake demon. It turned out that some time ago, Xie and his wife wanted to kill Dan Mei and want their son to die, so Lady Xie found a snake demon and asked him to play on the way for the two to play.
Who knows, the snake demon suddenly changed its mind, it was not enough to do the original Tao, and could only maintain a human form for one day. In order to become a human forever, he let Dan Mei swallow his own Neidan and take her body. Then he killed Xie Xiaofeng and used Yang Qi to consolidate his body.
Seeing that their son was dead, the Xie couple was heartbroken, helpless to find the snake demon, and did not dare to act rashly. This was only hired by Haoyang, on the pretext of repairing the house beam, in order to inquire about Dan Mei, who knew that he was so confused that he was framed, but was forced to go down to the oil pot.
Yu Haoyang suddenly realized what he was saying, and regretted it: "Alas, I knew that I would not turn back, and now I have ended up like this." ”
After saying that he was about to jump into the oil pot, a Taoist monk suddenly jumped out of the window and stabbed a sword at the snake demon, who could not dodge and was pierced through the chest, screaming a few times, and died of despair.
Seeing that he was saved, Yu Haoyang was busy prostrating his head to thank the Daoist, and the Daoist priest said coldly, "Hmm, don't think that if you save your life, you can go to the Yamen to confess your crime." Yu Haoyang covered his severed arm and nodded away.
Subsequently, the Taoist priest came to the Xie family with Dan Mei's body and asked the couple to go to the yamen to confess their sins, otherwise everything would be exposed, and the Xie couple had to do so when they saw that the matter was exposed, and all the evil people were punished.
After the matter was over, the Daoist priest buried Xie Xiaofeng and his wife together, and sighed at the grave: "Alas, the most pitiful thing is you, it is also coincidental, if it were not for the snake demon pretending to deceive me, it would not have become like this, help you bury together, and pay off the debt of the poor Dao." "After saying that, turn around and leave.
