Tian Luo girl and Xie Duan combine to cross racial love

According to legend, during the Jin Dynasty, there was an orphan in Houguan County named Xie Duan. When he was very young, his parents died. After his parents died, he was adopted by a kind neighbor in the village. Xie Duan has been honest and loyal since he was a child, and has always been diligent and thrifty in life, and loves to help people. In the village, people loved him. When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, Xie Duan felt that he had grown up and did not want to trouble raising his neighbors anymore, so he went up the mountain to cut wood, built a log cabin near the hillside, and lived an independent life where the sunrise and the sunset returned. But the young man's entire family property was only this log cabin, and he had never had money to marry a wife and have children. The people in the village were very concerned about his personal problems and helped him to mediate several times, but they were unsuccessful, because no girl wanted to marry such a poor boy. However, Xie Duan's child was not frustrated and disappointed because he could not marry his wife, and as before, he went out to work in the fields every morning, and returned home in the evening after the sun went down. One day, Xie Duan was working with his head down in the field, and when he bent over, he suddenly saw a particularly large field snail lying next to the puddle. "Such a big field snail! It's really rare. He was amazed, so he picked it up, and then happily took the snail home, washed the soil on it, and kept it in his own water tank, where he carefully cared for it.

The next day, Xie Duan still went out early in the morning to work in the field, tired for a day before returning home, but as soon as he entered the house, he smelled the smell of food, Xie Duan opened the door and saw fragrant rice on the stove of his house, and fragrant vegetables and fish in the cabinet next to it, not only meals, but also boiling hot water in the teapot. Seeing this, he wondered in his heart: Which kind person helped me boil water and cook? When Xie came home the next day, there was still a delicious meal waiting for him. One day, two days, three days... After that, every day, Xie Duan felt very embarrassed, so he went door to door to express his gratitude to the neighbors. But he went to many houses, and the neighbors said that they did not make the food and did not use it to thank them. Xie Duan thought that the neighbors were kind enough to shirk, so he thanked him repeatedly. The neighbors looked at his humble appearance and joked: "Did you marry your wife, hide her at home, and cook for you?" Xie Duan was even more puzzled when he heard this. How is this possible? He secretly decided to figure this out. The next day, the rooster croaked a second time, and Xie Duan, as usual, carried a hoe to work in the field. When it was a little darker, he hurried back home. He wanted to see which kind person was helping him and thanking people. Xie Duan was walking and walking, and far from home, he saw smoke in the chimney on the roof of his house, so he hurried to speed up. But when he rushed home and carefully looked inside through the crack in the door, he saw no one. Walking in, I found that the meal had been prepared, but the stove was still burning, and the water was already boiling in the pot. Xie Duan had to extinguish the stove fire and scoop up water. I sat at the table for a while, and continued to work in the field.

The day passed like this, and the well-wisher never appeared. On this day, Xie Duan got up earlier than yesterday, and as soon as the rooster called, he carried the guy to the field. Before dawn, he turned around and ran home. When I got home, I didn't see any cooking smoke rising. Xie Duan crept close to the fence wall, got up and hid in the shadows, stretched out his head to look at the window, and stared at the movement in the house without blinking. After a while, he saw a beautiful girl slowly coming out of the water tank, strangely the girl's clothes were not stained with water. Just when Xie Duan was puzzled, the girl had already started to cook on the fire. Xie Duan saw it clearly, quietly ran into the house, walked to the water tank, and found that the field snail he picked up was still in the water tank, but at this time, the field snail was only an empty shell. He looked left and right in amazement with the empty shell, but found nothing. So, he strode to the stove and said to the girl who was cooking on the fire: "This girl, who are you, where are you from, and why are you helping me cook?" The girl was startled when she saw Xie Duan, she didn't expect Xie Duan to appear at home at this time, it was really strange, she obviously saw Xie Duan leave before coming out of the water tank. The girl was shocked, and when she heard Xie Duan interrogating her origins, she was even more overwhelmed. So, the girl wanted to return to the water tank in a hurry, but she didn't expect to be seen through her mind by Xie Duan and blocked her way.

"Girl, where are you from? Why help me cook? Xie Duan once again asked the girl's origin, and the girl had no choice, so she had to tell him the cause of the matter.

It turned out that this girl was a Tian Luo girl who had cultivated for a thousand years, Xie Duan often went to work in the field, and the Tian Luo girl knew that Xie Duan was an orphan and sympathized with him, seeing that he was honest and good-hearted, so she came to help him. The Tian Luo girl said: "I am a Tian Luo Spirit, I often see you working in the field, so hard and tired every day, I want to help you, cook for you, and take care of housework." I want you to have a better life, have more physical strength to work, save enough money early to start a family, marry a good wife to help you take care of the house, and then I will leave. ”

Xie Duan was very moved after hearing this, he felt that Tian Luo girl's heart was really good, and he couldn't help but feel love for her, but when he heard Tian Luo girl say that he was leaving, he was anxious, and this hurry, he even stammered. He nervously expressed his love to the Tian Luo girl: "You, don't go." I, I like you. ”

When the Tian Luo girl heard this, her face blushed: "You, aren't you afraid of me?" Don't you dislike me for being a leprechaun? Xie Duan shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, you are so good, secretly help me boil water and cook, and it is not harmful, I like you too late, how can I dislike it." Stay and be my wife." Miss Tian Luo lowered her head and thought about it, and when she saw Xie Duan's serious look, she nodded and decided to stay and continue to help Xie Duan. However, the Tian Luo girl was also very smart, and she did not immediately agree to Xie Duan to be his wife. Later, after the two lived together for a while, Miss Tian Luo found that Xie Duan really liked her, and she was also honest and good to herself, so she was touched by him. It didn't take long for Xie Duan and Miss Tian Luo to get married. The neighbors in the village came to attend their wedding, and when they learned of the life of the Tian Luo girl, no one disliked it. Everyone is very happy about the combination of Xie Duan and Tian Luo girl, and they all feel that Xie Duan and Tian Luo girl are real talented women and are a natural couple. The villagers all vied to bless them, and everyone drank happy wine.

After marriage, the Tian Luo girl became more diligent and thrifty, not only continuing to cook vegetables and rice, but also weaving cloth to subsidize the family when she was idle. After Xie Duan married his wife, he worked harder than before, and the people in the village praised them for living a good life. Their days are indeed getting better by the day. At this time, the leech spirit couldn't stand it. Who is the leech spirit? The leech spirit used to be in the same field as the Tian Luo girl, and coveted the beauty of the Tian Luo girl very early, but it is a pity that the Tian Luo girl did not like him. Originally, he still had a bit of conscience and thought that the twisted melon was not sweet, and when the Tian Luo girl went to help Xie Duan at first, he did not stop it. But now the Tian Luo girl is married to Xie Duan, and the people in the village say that their husband and wife are good and good. Leech was carefully unconvinced, and he became more and more jealous of Xie Duan, and he decided to find a day to snatch back the Tian Luo girl. So, when Xie Duan went to the market to exchange grain, he pretended to be a fortune teller and went to Xie Duan's house.

Tian Luo girl

When the Tian Luo girl saw a blind old uncle coming to her house, she quickly greeted her and said, "Old uncle, who are you looking for?" The leech spirit pinched his throat and said: "I am a fortune teller, I am tired of walking all over the world, this beautiful girl, take me to the water tank, I want to drink some water." As soon as the Tian Luo girl heard this, she helped the old uncle who had become a leech spirit to the water tank. There was a full tank of water in the water tank, and the shell of the Tian Luo girl was under the water tank. The leech spirit said again: "Girl, why is the scoop that drinks water not here?" Tian Luo girl took a look, it turned out that when she was cooking, she scooped up water and put the water scoop in front of the stove, so she turned around and went to the stove to get the water scoop. As soon as the leech spirit saw that the Tian Luo girl was gone, he immediately jumped up and reached out to take the Tian Luo shell out of the water tank, and shouted at the Tian Luo girl, and before the Tian Luo girl could react, she was summoned into the Tian Luo Shell. Seeing that the leech spirit had succeeded, he ran back to his nest with a puff of smoke and locked up the Tian Luo girl. After Xie Duan returned home from the market for rice, he found that his wife was missing, so he ran to a nearby neighbor's house to see if his wife was there, and the Tian Luo girl was not in anyone's house. Xie Duan was anxious, ran back to his house, looked east, and when he found the water tank, he found that there were a few leeches next to the water tank, and then looked into the water tank, and the field snail shell of the Tian Luo girl was missing. Because the Tian Luo girl had mentioned the leech spirit to Xie Duan, Xie Duan immediately guessed that the Tian Luo girl was taken away by the leech spirit. So he gathered the young and strong young men of the village and went to the field with hoes to save his wife.

With everyone's concerted efforts, after a while, the nest of leech spirits was found. But the leech essence is too powerful, Xie Duan smoked it with fire and flooded it with water, but there is no way to get the leech essence. Just when Xie Duan was distressed, he suddenly found that there were no leeches where he dripped sweat, he thought, there is salt in the sweat, could the leeches be afraid of salt? So, with the idea of giving it a try, he let the group run home to get the salt from home, while he himself waited in front of the leech spirit's nest.

After a while, the salt was taken, a large bag of white flowers, Xie Duan carried the salt bag and poured it into the leech nest. At this time, there was a scream from the cave, and the villagers saw that the nearby leeches were stained with salt and died. After a while, the nest collapsed, and a huge leech corpse appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back. At this time, Xie Duan kicked the corpse of the leech spirit, and after determining that it was dead, he started digging up the leech nest. Other villagers lit a fire and burned the body of the leech spirit. It didn't take long for Xie Duan to find Tian Luo, he put Tian Luo into the water tank, and after a while, his beautiful wife Tian Luo girl returned to him. The villagers were happy to see them reunited.

The Tian Luo girl was saved, and she and Xie Duan made a hearty dinner for everyone to eat in order to thank the villagers for their help. The leech spirit died, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Since then, Xie Duan and Tian Luo girl continued to live a sweet and happy life, and a few years later, Tian Luo girl gave birth to a big fat boy to Xie Duan, and the family of three was happy. Life at home also got better and better, and after a few years, Xie Duan was also admitted to the juren and became the county magistrate of Houguan County.
