Once upon a time, a man took his beautiful wife and servants to Guangdong to take office. A few people saw an inn in the wilderness, rushed in with joy to eat a full meal, and then went to sleep. Who knew that in the middle of the night there was a gust of wind, the man found that his wife was missing, and when he saw his wife again, he became a water picker.
The man's name is Li Congshan, a Native of Tokyo, and his wife is called Liu Zhichun, who is young and beautiful. Li Cong was kind and kind, and often provided fasting food for the monks.
In this year, Li Congshan was a jinshi, and Shengshang sent him to work as an inspector in Shajiao Town, Nanxiong, Guangdong, and the couple decided to go together. Before leaving, Li Congshan prepared another iftar meal, and as long as it was a passing monk, he would enthusiastically let them eat enough and then leave.
On the day of departure, Li Congshan rode on a horse, Zhichun sat in a sedan car, the servants carried luggage and book boxes, and several people set off for Guangdong.
They rush during the day and rest on the side of the road at night, often because they are in a hurry and cannot eat and drink.
One evening, they passed by the north side of Meiling and saw an inn on the side of the road, and several people were very happy. So the servant came up and knocked on the door, and the shopkeeper, an old man in his 80s, opened the door and learned that they were going to Nanxiong to take up his post, and politely let them in.
After entering, the shopkeeper said: "The old man is more than 80 years old this year, tonight more mouth to persuade you: in front of the Meiling, this place is desolate and remote, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards and thieves, the lady is beautiful, you might as well leave the lady here, you will send more people to pick you up when you arrive." ”
Li Congshan said: "My family has been a military general for three generations, how can I be afraid of tigers and wolves and thieves?" The shopkeeper nodded and did not speak.
The couple went into the room and went to sleep after dinner. At the second time, a sudden gust of wind blew up, blowing the candles shakily. Li Congshan was startled, and quickly dressed up to see, only to find that his wife was missing!
Li Congshan hurriedly ran to the next door to wake up the servant, and the two men quickly called out to the shopkeeper, but no one agreed. Take a closer look, and the room is gone! The two men were standing in the wasteland, their luggage, bookcases, and horses in front of them, and the shopkeeper and the inn were all gone.
The two were so shocked by what they saw that they could not say a word, and suddenly they heard the sound of four drums, and the two people stood in the wilderness, and there was no one before or after them. Li Congshan quickly jumped on his horse and asked the servant to pick up the luggage and leave.
Li Congshan cried as he walked: "The shopkeeper doesn't know what kind of monster it is, he took my wife away, what can I do?" ”
The servant said, "Don't worry, it's important, there is Meiling in front of you, it's not easy to walk, and when we get to Shajiao Town, it's not too late to send someone to find Madame after we figure it out." Li Congshan listened to the servant's words and insisted on continuing to walk.
Zhi Chun woke up to find himself in a cave, frightened and pale, tears falling like broken beads.
At this time, a woman named Peony said: "Shen Yanggong and you are related, and it is your blessing that you can come here." If you eat peach and wine, you will be able to live forever. You see the girls in the cave, they were all taken captive by him. Don't feel bored, he'll sleep with you later. ”
This cave is called Shenyang Cave, the monster in the cave is a white ape, called Shenyang Gong, he loves beautiful women, Li Congshan When they passed, he saw the beauty of Ruchun and used a trick to abduct her.
Zhi Chun cried and said, "I don't want to enjoy the blessings here, and I don't want to sleep together!" When Shen Yanggong heard her words, he did not want to force her, so he asked a woman named Jin Lian to enlighten her well.
Jin Lian and Peony persuaded Ru Chun every day, but she just didn't want to, and she didn't even eat food or drink wine. The two of them repeatedly advised her: "You can't escape here, as the saying goes: people under the eaves have to bow their heads." ”
Zhi Chun said, "Sister, do you know how it feels that I am now being taken captive here, forcibly separated from my husband, and sleeping with others?" As the saying goes: A martyr is not a second husband, and I am not insulted even if I am si. ”
Jin Lian said, "I have also experienced such things, it is good to get used to it, you have arrived here, it is better to just follow him, life will be a little better." ”
Zhi Chun scolded, I'm not as as you, I just want to live, it's really a waste. ”
Jin Lian was angry, and Shen Yanggong was also very angry, so he ordered Peony to cut Ruchun's hair short, not to wear shoes for her, and punished her to carry water to water the flowers, and only eat 3 porridge meals a day. Peony did.
The barefoot Zhichun looked at a pair of buckets of water thrown over and thought: I really want to jump down the mountain stream, but in case heaven pity me, there will be a day to see my husband again. So I carried water with tears every day.
Li Congshan and the servant passed by a restaurant, and when they saw a warlock after eating, they told him about the loss of his wife, and the man said, "Don't worry too much, Madame has 1,000 days of disaster, and after three years, when you meet a real person, your husband and wife will be reunited." ”
Li Congshan continued to walk forward with confidence, and walked to the official pavilion, where someone had already come to greet him, and everyone escorted him to the yamen in a lively manner.
During his three years in office, he made meritorious contributions to guarding one side of the people and rose to the next place.
Li Congshan and his servants left Shajiao Town, and not long after seeing that there was a temple, they planned to stay for one night.
After entering, he heard that the elder's virtue was very high, so Li Congshan told him about his wife's captivity, hoping to get help from the elder. The elder said, "Madame was abducted by the spirit of the white ape for a thousand years, and because of her virtuous personality, she was punished with water and watered flowers." You can go east for 3 days to find taifu zhenren to help you. ”
Li Congshan walked quickly for 2 days, and did not see anyone, on the road met a comatose old man, the bag of dry food and water were given to him, and all the way to carry him forward, the third day just happened to bump into an old man, Li Congshan felt light, the old man on the back did not know when to disappear.
The person in front of him smiled and said, "Li Congshan, I am touched by your kindness, and I have come to help you." After saying that, he took Li Congshan with him to Shenyang Cave.
After arriving, Li Congshan saw a barefoot woman carrying water and watering flowers, and rushed forward, and the couple was separated for 3 years and finally reunited, and immediately hugged and cried.
Tai Xuan Zhenren immediately informed tianbing to release the women in the cave, and tied Shenyang's public chains and imprisoned them in heavenly prison.
Li Congshan and his wife thanked the real person, who said goodbye to them and took off.
After the couple returned to Tokyo, they lived happily to the end of their 100th birthday.
Adapted from "Three Words and Two Beats", Liu Zhichun is unyielding and worthy of praise.
