During the Ming Dynasty, a noise came from a market in Shimen County, only to see an old beggar running in front with a roast chicken, and the two strong men in the back were chasing after it, and their mouths kept shouting: "Catch the thief, come and catch the thief!" ”
After people heard the movement, they immediately went forward to block the old beggar's way, and the two strong men behind him also successfully caught him, the old beggar was very thin, the whole person was like a thin piece of paper, one of them lifted him like a chicken cub, raised his hand to beat, the old beggar was not afraid, shouted: "The avenue is invisible, the fertility world, the avenue is merciless, running the sun and the moon." Everything has its own destiny in the dark, and I just want to save your life with your roast chicken! ”
The two strong men listened to each other behind each other, and then laughed loudly, looking at the crazy old beggar in front of them, the two strong men did not think so, snatched the roast chicken in their hands and left, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
At this time, a young freight man walked to the old beggar with a burden and took out some dry food and handed it to him: "Old man, no matter how hungry you are, you can't steal it, and you shouldn't lie, these dry food will be eaten for you!" When the old beggar saw this, he immediately picked up the dry food and devoured it.
This cargo man's name is Nie Hailang, he is kind and sincere, he is a well-known local kind heart, and the villagers like him very much.
Seeing that the old beggar was all right, Nie Hailang turned and left, during this time he was very busy, he had just been engaged to a rich girl named Ma Chaofeng, and he had to take care of his seriously ill mother while preparing for marriage.
Nie Hailang lost his father at an early age, it was his mother who was both a father and a mother who pulled him up with hard work, the mother and son had a good relationship, and Nie Hailang was also very filial. But there was an unexpected storm in the day, just when Nie Hailang was ready to honor his mother, his mother was suddenly seriously ill and bedridden. In order to treat his mother's illness, Nie Hailang spent all the family's savings, but his mother's condition never improved.
Just when he was overwhelmed, the Old Horse Man of the Ma Family took the initiative to find him and expressed his willingness to pay for his mother's treatment, but there was a request, that is, Nie Hailang entered the Yu Ma family and became the husband of his daughter Ma Chaofeng.
The Ma family is a local famous and prestigious family, Nie Hailang has naturally heard of Ma Chaofeng's reputation, as the pearl in the palm of the Ma family, she has not been afraid since she was a child, she is an unreasonable "brutal and gold", and often insults the weak and scolds his subordinates. But now that his mother was seriously ill and the situation was urgent, he didn't have time to think about it too much, and immediately agreed to the proposal of the horseman.
After hearing this, the horseman was very happy, and immediately gave Nie Hailang a large amount of money, and invited several skilled Langzhong to heal Nie Mu at the same time. After unremitting efforts, Nie Mu's condition finally improved, and Nie Hailang also began to plan for marriage. He originally wanted to meet Ma Chaofeng before the wedding, but the horseman said that he did not agree with anything and told him to prepare as soon as possible.
After Nie Hailang left, the old beggar looked up at his back and revealed a strange smile.
This evening, Nie Hailang went to town as usual to grab medicine for his mother, and when he passed an alleyway, he heard several people talking about something. Curious, he leaned in, and they were talking about the two strong men who had caught the old beggar yesterday, and they seemed to be stuck in the throat by a bone while eating roast chicken, and something had happened.
Nie Hailang looked surprised, and immediately remembered the words of the old beggar yesterday, could it be that he really knew something, or was it all a coincidence?
Just then, he suddenly heard a noise, and after following the sound, he saw several small beating the old beggar, and the old beggar was curled up, as if protecting something. Nie Hailang saw the situation, hurried forward to break the siege, and blasted away the small, saving the old beggar.
The old beggar slowly got up, took out a plate of thin tofu from his arms, and handed it to Nie Hailang, who had just been protecting these tofus. Nie Hailang smiled and waved his hand, "Old man don't have to be polite, you still have to keep it for yourself." By the way, I'm about to move to Mafu, and if you have any trouble, go to Mafu to find me, and I'll definitely help you! ”
Without saying a word, he got up and was about to leave, but he was dragged by the beggar to death: "This tofu is not for you, it is for your daughter-in-law who has not yet passed the door, and you feed these tofu to the bride on the night of the cave, you must give it to her!" ”
Then, the beggar shoved the plate of tofu into his hand and turned his head and left. Looking at the plate of thin tofu in his hand, Nie Hailang left a bitter smile, but after all, this was a piece of people's heart, and he still took it home.
The next morning, Nie Hailang, as the son-in-law of the rich man, came to the horseman's house early, but he did not see the bride Ma Chaofeng, and the horse member said that Ma Chaofeng had recently been infected with wind chills, and his body had been very uncomfortable and could not see anyone. Nie Hailang did not suspect it after hearing this, and nodded silently, and then he worshiped an old hen under the arrangement of the horseman.
When he entered the cave room, Nie Hailang remembered the plate of tofu, which he deliberately placed in the kitchen when he came in the morning. Then, he carried the tofu into the cave room, ready to tell his new wife about the origin of the tofu.
But as soon as he entered the house, he felt a chill, the smoke in the house rose, the visibility was very low, and he could smell a strong medicinal smell. He subconsciously called Ma Chaofeng's name, just a blink of an eye, Ma Chaofeng appeared in front of him, his eyes staring straight at him.
At this moment, Nie Hailang did not realize that something was wrong, and he smiled and waved his hand to tell her to come to the table and sit down, and Ma Chaofeng obeyed. After that, he told her what had happened between himself and the old beggar, and brought the plate of thin tofu to her.
Ma Chaofeng looked disgusted and said lightly, "It's not too early, come and go to bed with me!" ”
Nie Hailang did not expect Ma Chaofeng to be so direct, he could not help but be a little shy, or pointed to the tofu and said that he wanted her to taste it, after all, it was someone's intention. Ma Chaofeng couldn't help him, so he had to pick up a chopstick and send it to his mouth. But the next second, Ma Chaofeng let out a scream, and then she pounced on Nie Hailang with a vicious face, but her movements became stiff and slow, as if the movements were slow, just when she was about to touch Nie Hailang, her body stared sharply in place, motionless, but her eyeballs were still swirling in her eyes.
Just when Nie Hailang was overwhelmed, the old beggar broke into the door, and the fog in the house suddenly dissipated, and Nie Hailang found that there were actually two Ma Chaofeng in the house, exactly Ma Chaofeng's body and her soul, and there was a coffin in the house, and Ma Chaofeng's body was lying inside.
It turned out that Ma Chaofeng died unexpectedly of a sudden illness half a month ago, and his parents thought about it and decided to find a marriage partner for their daughter so that she would not be so lonely. After some searching, Ma Yuanwai finally chose Nie Hailang, who had no money and no power, after all, he only had an old mother, and he was already seriously ill, as long as the two were married, he would stop taking drugs and let Nie Hailang fall ill and die, and no one would look for Nie Hailang's whereabouts anymore.
But this plan was still discovered by the old beggar, and the tofu he gave nie Hailang was what he begged for from every household, that is, hundreds of tofu, tofu is made of soybeans, one of the five grains, the ghost is afraid of the grain, and after eating the tofu, it will not be able to move, and it will not be able to take away Nie Hailang.
Nie Hailang, who learned the truth, was shocked, he did not expect that this wedding was a scam from beginning to end.
Later, he left the ma mansion with the old beggar and exposed the conspiracy outside the horseman, and the two left their hometown with Nie Mu and never returned.
