A long time ago, there was a scholar surnamed Hong Taotian, who had more real estate in his family, so he rented out another small courtyard. Shortly after the notice was posted, a mother and daughter came and rented the house. The old mother's surname is Liu, and the woman's maiden name is Xiaoya.
The mother and daughter lived in simplicity and lived a simple life, and it was difficult to see them. On this day, Hong Taotian went to the street to buy something, saw a painting, bought it, and went home under his armpit. When I arrived at the door, just when Xiao Ya came out, she said hello. Xiao Ya is very beautiful, speaks softly, and sounds very comfortable.
The two began to talk. It turned out that Liu Shi was not Xiao Ya's mother, but her benefactor. When she was a child, she went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, accidentally broke her leg, thanks to Liu's encounter, he took her home and healed her injuries. Now that Liu's wind is dead, her wife has long died, her son died in an accident last year, and her daughter-in-law hates her for being too old and drives her out of the house, and she has to beg for food for a living. When Xiao Ya heard the news, she rented a house and quietly took Liu Shi over, recognized her as her mother, and sent her to the end of her pension.
Knowing the reason, Hong Taotian couldn't help but be solemn to Xiao Ya, a kind-hearted woman, who married her as a blessing. So I asked Xiao Ya if she had decided on a family affair? Xiao Ya said, "Not yet." I don't want to think about that yet, though. ”
Hong Taotian's mind was full of life, he had not yet decided to marry, if he married Xiao Ya home, wouldn't it be a great good thing? She came to rent his house, wasn't it a destiny in heaven?
After that, Hong Tao went to visit the door every three to five days, under the pretext of visiting Mrs. Liu and chatting with Xiao Ya. Xiao Ya was originally very cold to him, but seeing that he was very good to Mrs. Liu and often brought good things for Mrs. Liu to eat, she did not drive him away.
On this day, Hong Taotian took a few fruits and went to visit Mrs. Liu again. Old Lady Liu took Xiao Ya's hand and said to Hong Taotian, "Although Xiao Ya is not the daughter I gave birth to, she is better than the daughter of the family." I am an orphan wife, there is such a girl to give me a pension to send to the end, this life, there are no regrets. ”
Xiao Ya quickly said, "Mom, don't say that." You have such a blessing, and you have cultivated it. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have frozen to death on the mountain. ”
When Hong Taotian saw this scene, his heart became more and more fond of Xiao Ya. Back at home, Xiao Ya's shadow was all in his brain, and Xiao Ya's smile and smile all involved his heart.
On this day, Hong Taotian went out to drink with his friends in the tavern, and when he returned, he specially brought back a donkey meat to give their mother and daughter a taste.
After eating, taking advantage of Xiao Ya to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks, Hong Taotian sat next to Mrs. Liu and whispered: "Big Mother, I like your girlfriend, you can say something good." Old Lady Liu smiled and squinted and said, "I can't live at home in this matter, you tell her personally." ”
Hong Taotian asked again, "Can you tell me where her family lives?" I went to her house to propose. I've asked her several times, and she's been reluctant to say. Old Lady Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "No, she told me not to say it." Hong Taotian had to return disappointed.
After a while, Hong Taotian finally couldn't help himself, stopped Xiao Ya, and said his admiration. Xiao Ya sighed and said, "We are impossible. Hong Taotian asked, "Why?" Xiao Ya hesitated for a long time and said, "When my mother dies, I will tell you the truth." ”
In the blink of an eye, more than two years have passed. On this day, Mrs. Liu died at the end of her life. Hong Taotian helped Zhang Luo in his funeral and asked someone to send Liu Shi to the mountain to be buried. The strange thing is that these days, Xiao Ya is very calm and does not shed a single tear.
Hong Taotian asked, "How come you are not sad at all?" Xiao Ya said lightly: "When she was alive, I was kind to her and had no regrets." When she died, it was a relief, to reincarnate as a human being, to live a new life, and I should be happy for her. The world cannot see through this, so they weep and cry. I would like to ask, what is the use of not being good to your parents before you die, and crying after death? Hong Taotian nodded unceasingly and praised her for being right.
After a few days of night, Xiao Ya came to say goodbye. Hong Taotian asked with tears in the corners of his eyes, "Don't you really feel my heart?" Xiao Ya sighed and said, "In this world, there are many lovers, but they are doomed to not be able to go together, this is life." ”
Hong Taotian said: "As long as you have a word, everything is not a problem. Xiao Ya said: "It is impossible between us, we belong to two different worlds." Let me tell you the truth, I'm a fox. When he was a child, he was rescued by the Liu family, so he came to repay the favor. Now that I have no worries, I should also go up to the mountain to practice. ”
Hong Taotian retorted, "Who said that human foxes can't be together? There are many folk stories of fox love. Xiao Ya said: "That is because they have a fate between them, and they have long planted a causal relationship." There is no love affair between you and me, and if we force ourselves together, we are doomed to have no good results. You are a kind-hearted person, and you will find your own happiness in the future. Today is a parting, there is no chance to see each other again, you have to take care. ”
Say it, go out. Hong Taotian chased out with a lantern, but he had long disappeared.
After this, Hong Taotian had an extra knot in his heart, always looking at the mountains in a daze and thinking of Xiao Ya. Later, he frantically purchased foxes for release. As long as he saw someone hunting a fox, he would always subconsciously think that it was Xiao Ya, no matter how high the asking price, he would buy it and release it. Because, in his heart, he didn't want Xiaoya to be innocently hurt, and he hoped that she would always be fine!
