A few days later, the "little short leg" led Gao Gongzi to Xiao Cui's house with a dowry of no age and age, and just when Xiao Cui was not at home, the queen mother betrothed Xiao Cui's marriage.

He Cheng thought, just out of the fort, he was arrested by Xiao Cui's father and mother. After this, Xiao Stupid was locked up in a small black room, unable to eat, unable to sleep, crying like a tearful person. When I closed my eyes, I always thought about Chai Tiezhu.

Chai Tiezhu has been beating in her heart since that night, when Xiao Cui was caught by her father and mother and locked up in the little black room. It's not okay to go to see it during the day, it's not okay to go to it in the dark, and it's not okay to meet it in the middle of the night. Chai Tiezhu had to sit on a small mountain bag not far from Lu Xiaocui's house every day, and chirp in the small black house where Xiaocui lived. While chirping, he said, "Xiao Cui, why haven't you come out yet?" He cried and talked, cried, cried and fell asleep. In this way, for several months in a row, the iron pillar did not even see Xiao Cui's shadow.

One day, Tie Zhu saw a coffin taken from Xiao Cui's family, and he giggled in his heart and said, "Not good! "Spread your legs and run, following the man carrying the coffin." When he followed him to the mass grave, someone told him: "Last night Xiao Cui ate a mouthful of food and did not swallow and choked to death, and the coffin contained Xiao Cui!" When Tie Zhu heard this, his ears rang out, and his eyes were pitch black and he fell to the ground and fainted.

When the iron pillar woke up, it was already midnight, and it was so dark that I couldn't see my five fingers. Tie Zhu walked to Xiao Cui's grave, prostrated his head three times, stood up, wiped away his tears, and kept saying in his mouth: "Xiao Cui, I hurt you, please forgive me in the Yin Cao Mansion!" Now I'm going to look at you, please wait a minute, I'm going to go with you. ”

After the iron pillar finished speaking, he desperately picked up the soil on the grave, and it took a lot of effort to open the coffin lid, he stepped into the coffin with both legs, just about to touch Lu Xiaocui's back, he heard Xiaocui's stomach grunt, and then he let out a breath and slowly opened his eyes. Tie Gui was so frightened that he just wanted to run, at this time, Xiao Cui said softly and lightly: "Tie Gui Hu, don't be afraid, I am a human, not a ghost." As soon as the iron bar heard it, he rubbed his eyes with his hand and saw that it was Xiao Cui, so the two people came out of the grave and hugged each other.
