Once upon a time, there was a rich man named Full Warmth, although he had thousands of acres of fertile land, ten thousand quintals of grain, all day long eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and wearing silk and satin, but he was very stingy, and a big fortune was tied to his ribs, and he was harsh and cruel, and he either beat or scolded long-term workers and servants all day long, and oppressed and made things difficult for the tenants and poor people in the village.
There is a long-term worker called Hunger and Cold. Although this young man is only in his early twenties, he is very capable, and he can do the work of three people in a day, but he can complete it in a day.
Hunger and Han are particularly kind and kind, and he often secretly helps other long-term workers to work so that they are not beaten and scolded by the full warmth, so the long-term workers respect him very much.
He loves to hunt every autumn, when the ground is clear, he sets up an eagle, takes a dog, and hires a group of people to go around (set up a formation to bombard the prey), and go to the wild depression to hunt. Because Hunger and Cold are real and powerful, every time he hunts, he has to let Hunger and Cold follow him, and specially pick those wild things for him.
After the autumn of this year, he took people to the wild to hunt. There were many prey this time, including pheasants, wild dogs, roe deer, roe deer, and a small fox.
This little fox is as red as fire, the tips of its ears and tail are as white as snow, and its mouth and eyes are as black as ink.
The little fox was not killed, but was hit by the gun grit in the buttocks, and was chased and pulled back by the hounds. Feng Nuan looked at this beautiful little fox, and grinned happily and laughed: "Haha! What a beautiful little fox, just peel off its skin and make a scarf." ”
Hungry and cold picked the prey back to the house of the full warmth, and began to peel the skin and pluck the hair according to the instructions of the full warmth, and clean up the prey. When Hunger and Cold saw that the little fox was still alive, he looked at him pitifully, and his eyes couldn't stop crying, and he couldn't help but feel compassion: What a poor little fox! It's not human, but it's a life! I can't kill it, I have to find a way to save it.
So, Hunger and Cold wiped the blood off the little fox's body, scrubbed its wounds with salt water, and then went to the kitchen to steal a few pieces of wild meat, and let the little fox have a full meal, and hid it in the hut where he slept while the warm dog's legs were not paying attention.
Hunger and cold scrubbed the wounds of the little fox every day, and saved his own food for the little fox to eat. After more than 20 days, the little fox's wounds gradually healed. Hungry and cold for a long time, the horse's feet were exposed, and one night, taking advantage of the night, the little fox was carried outside the village and released.
At first, she didn't notice it. It was getting cold, and he suddenly remembered to make a fox fur scarf, and found Hunger and Han and asked him for the little fox skin.
He had no choice but to make up a nonsense: "I have stripped off the whole skin of the little fox according to your wishes, stuffed wheat straw in the skin bag, and hung it under the eaves to dry, and I have not paid attention to it since then, who knows where the fox skin has gone." ”
Seeing that the hunger and cold couldn't hand over the fox skin, he was angry on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart. It turned out that Hunger and Cold had lost his parents since he was 14 years old, and he had been working as a long-term worker in the full warm family for six years. Every time the New Year is paid, Feng Nuan says: "Anyway, you have no home, no job, and nowhere to go, so spend the New Year with me." As for the salary, I'll save it for you first, and then when you can use it, you can get it together. In fact, he wanted to get rid of his hunger and cold wages.
This time, he seized the opportunity. He turned his face and roared with raised eyebrows: "Wow! Obviously, you have this fox skin in your possession, but you don't admit it at this time! Okay! Let's make it clear, you can't earn the price of that fox skin for a lifetime." If you harbor that fox skin, I will sue the government and put you in prison for at least ten years. For the sake of our master and servant for many years, I won't sue you, but you can pay off the wages of the previous six years, and give me another ten years of work for nothing. ”
Hunger and cold can understand this time, and he stomped his feet angrily: "Phew! I have been working as a cow and a horse in your house for six years, and at this time you rely on my salary, and you still want me to serve you for another ten years, no way! From now on, Lao Tzu will not serve you!" After speaking, he turned his head and walked out
Where is he willing to give up, he glared at him and said: "Lao Tzu has never said the same, let you work for nothing for ten years, it can be regarded as tolerant to you! If you have been working for less than ten years, you want to come out of my door! Come on! Arrest this kid for me!"
As soon as the master gave the order, the doglegs suddenly surrounded him. Although Hunger and Cold have the strength of a body, but two fists are invincible to four hands, the hero can not withstand the crowd, after a struggle, Hunger and Cold was finally knocked to the ground by them, tied with ropes, and dragged into the torture room.
After a while, Feng Nuan walked in with a note, and said to Hunger Han: "Hunger and Cold, I have written a note here, you are illiterate, I will read it to you, if you agree, sign and draw on it, and work in my house as usual, so as not to suffer from skin and flesh, if you don't agree, don't blame me for being unkind!" After speaking, regardless of whether Hunger Han agreed or not, he coughed dryly twice, and squinted his eyes as if he should read a holy decree: "Hunger and Han stole and resold a priceless precious fox skin from the owner because of a thought, and the cash has been spent and he is unable to repay it." Remembering the love of the master and servant for many years, he was allowed to pay for six years, and do another ten years of work to offset the price of the fox skin. There is no evidence for empty words, and words are proof. On ×, X, ×, "
The honest man is angry, and the temper is even greater. Before he finished reading it, he flew up and kicked it on the fat stomach of the full warmth, and scolded in his mouth: "Let your mother's fart! Who stole any precious fox skin from you?"
He was kicked by the cold, and he hugged his stomach in pain and screamed: "Wow! You dare to kick the host! Beat me! Beat him hard! If you don't accept it, you will beat him to death!"
The doglegs agreed, immediately hung up Hunger and Cold, lifted the whip and slashed their heads and faces, and beat them severely.
Ji Han was tortured for a day, his skin was full of flesh, and he fainted in pain several times, but he gritted his teeth and never said a soft word.
At night, I was dazed and asleep in a daze, and suddenly felt my body fly. When flying to the high iron window of the cell, the lattice on the iron window automatically fell off. Flying out of the cell, he thought, "Could it be that I am already dead, and that my soul has left my body and flown out?" He wanted to see if he was dead, so he took his finger into his mouth and bit it hard. It hurts!, he couldn't help but scream, "ouch".
It didn't matter what he called, his body stopped flying and fell gently. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was lying on a large sandalwood carved bed, with a soft and comfortable silk mattress under him, an embroidered brocade quilt on the inside, and an embroidered mandarin duck pillow under his head. A beautiful woman with a beaded hair full of flowers and jade sat in front of the bed, she lightly opened up Zhu Hu, and asked with concern: "Brother Hunger and Cold, what's wrong? Where are you still in pain?"
Hunger and cold looked at the woman and said, "I don't have any pain anywhere, I bit my finger just now." Girl, I'm not dead, where am I, who are you?"
The woman smiled: "Brother Hunger and Han, the little woman's surname is Hu, her name is Yunfang, you are in my house." Because you saved my life, I have always wanted to repay you for your great kindness. Today, I learned that you were beaten so warmly, and I hurriedly sent someone to rescue you and take you to my home. Your wounds have been healed by immortal medicine. From now on, you don't have to work for others anymore, and I will arrange the benefactor's future life. Whatever you need, just ask, I'll meet all your requirements. But you don't have to ask about anything. ”
Hunger and cold listened and nodded blankly. He couldn't remember when he had saved the beautiful girl in front of him. But since the girl had already told him not to ask more, he was too embarrassed to inquire any further, so he did as the woman had told him, and stayed here.
Hu Yunfang's immortal house is magnificent and beautiful, the halls and pavilions in the house, the flower pavilions and willow pavilions, in it, it makes people feel refreshed and happy, such as entering the fairyland. Hungry and cold live here, food and clothing, there are countless beauties, waiting in turn, three meals a day, meals are delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and food. Hunger and cold wondered in his heart, could it be that he was really dead and his soul had come to heaven?
On this day, Hunger and Cold were drinking wine in the front hall, watching the beauties singing and dancing, and suddenly the gatekeeper came in to report: "There is a wicked man outside who has broken into the house without permission, and we have been caught. ”
He didn't know what to do for a while, but after thinking about it, he said, "Bring him up first!"
The gatekeeper agreed, and shouted to the outside, "Bring it up!" Immediately afterward, two big men in the courtyard caught one of them like eagles catching chickens.
Hungry and cold, this person has a gourd head and a melon face, eight-character eyebrows, triangular eyes, a garlic nose, a toad mouth, and a pair of ears like a fan, which is his owner's warmth. He couldn't help but get up and leave his seat, furrowed his eyebrows, and asked loudly, "Why did you come here?"
Don't look at the usual one-acre and three-point land in your own house, call the king and hegemon, as soon as you enter this fairyland-like mansion of the imperial official, you have already fallen into the clouds and mist, and you are dizzy. When the two nurses lifted him, he was so frightened that he was urinating, and now when he heard the cry of hunger and cold, the bones in his body seemed to be broken, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and he didn't even dare to raise his head: "Grandpa spares his life, grandpa spares his life, the villain mistakenly entered your mansion and disturbed the master, the crime deserves death, the crime deserves death." ”
Hunger and Han looked at the virtue of being like a lost dog, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, and said, "Dadong, when you open your eyes, do you still recognize me?"
Feng Nuan leaned his face upward, blinked a pair of triangular eyes and looked at it for a long time, and stammered and asked, "You, you are one"
Hunger Han was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a woman's loud voice from behind the screen: "Hmph! It's really a noble person who forgets things, how can the owner not even recognize his own family's long-term worker!"
When she looked up, she saw a delicate woman, floating out from behind the screen like a willow swinging in the wind. Although the woman's apricot eyes were round and her willow eyebrows were upside down, she couldn't hide the beauty of the peach blossoms in March. When I saw the warmth, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
It turned out that this was the woman who hooked his soul and led him into the immortal mansion. That full warmth is a pervert, as long as he sees a beautiful woman, he has to do everything possible to get it. Today, he led a group of house slaves to wander around the market, and suddenly saw a beautiful woman.
Seeing the warmth, he was dying, and involuntarily chased after the woman. Unexpectedly, the woman's body was light, and her lotus steps were like flying, no matter how he chased her, she was always about ten steps away. Chasing after each other into a manor, the woman was nowhere to be seen. He didn't know which room the woman had entered, and he was so anxious that he walked around the courtyard, but suddenly two big men came and twisted his arms, and like an eagle catching a chicken, he carried it to see Hunger and Cold.
At this moment, Feng Nuan only thought that Hunger and Cold was the owner of this village, how could he think that it was his own long-term work? Now when he saw the woman walking out of the screen, he was even more stunned.
This woman is the fox fairy Hu Yunfang who designed to attract warmth. She moved the lotus step lightly, walked to the Eight Treasures Dragon and Phoenix case, sat opposite Hunger and Cold, and asked Hunger and Cold: "Do you have a long-term worker named Hunger and Cold, who worked for you as a cow and a horse for six years, not only did you not give him wages, but also wanted him to work for you for another ten years, and if he didn't agree, you ordered someone to beat him up and put him in a private prison, almost killing him?"
When Feng Nuan heard that this woman knew everything about this matter, how could she dare to deny and conceal it, so she had to nod again and again and said, "Yes, yes." ”
Miss Yunfang pointed at Hunger Han and said, "Take a closer look, who is this person?"
After looking at the sound for a while, I finally woke up. Frightened, he pretended to smile and said: "Oh, it turns out that you are a hungry and cold brother, I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, and my brother must spare his life." ”
Hu Yunfang secretly sneered and asked sharply, "Are you sincere in changing your ways?"
Feng Nuan hurriedly said: "I swear to God that I will change my evil and return to the right." The wages of the hungry and cold brothers must be accompanied by interest. ”
"Okay!" Hu Yunfang said, "Since you have sincerely reformed, my hungry cousin is not a small person, and the past can be written off." He turned to the servants and maids, and said, "Listen, listen, in order to celebrate the meeting of the hungry village, and to give the warmth and sorrow, go to the living room and set up a banquet, and the musicians on both sides will play music, and we will drink and talk freely." ”
In a moment, the banquet was set up, Yun Fang let the hunger and cold, full and warm into the living room, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras on both sides of the box had already risen, and more than a dozen beauties danced with the music.
The three of them sat down as guests, and Miss Yunfang persuaded them to drink and secretly observed the behavior of the two.
Hunger and Han were originally loyal and kind-hearted, hard-working people, who had been drinking and drinking for days, and had long been tired of it in their hearts, and they were all indifferent to the treasures of the mountains and seas, the elixir and jade liquid on the table, and the dancing girls on both sides, and only thought about leaving here in the future and fending for themselves. And the warmth is a different story. He has a thief's eyebrows and eyes, and his soul is not guarded.
Miss Yunfang had already seen these in her eyes, after three rounds of wine, and five flavors of food, she shook her hand gently, signaled to the two sides to stop, and said to Feng Nuan: "Brother Nuan, the little woman has a banquet today, one is to suppress your shock, the other is to celebrate your meeting with the hungry and cold brother master and servant, and third, the little woman still has one thing, ask Brother Nuan for help." After hearing this, Feng Nuan nodded and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Miss Yunfang has something to say." ”
Yun Fang said: "The little girl's parents died when she was a child, and she guards this family wealth alone, and she doesn't even have an assistant to run the cooking. I want to recruit Brother Hunger and Han as a son-in-law, he has neither parents nor brothers, Brother Feng Nuan was his owner, so I ask you to be the matchmaker, I don't know what to do?"
Before he could open his mouth, Hunger and Cold were already red-faced, and he waved his hand again and again: "Miss Yunfang, you saved my life, and you are warmly hospitable, this great kindness has made Hunger and Cold never forget, how dare you think about it again? Hunger and Cold have no talent and no virtue, how can you bear the burden of the girl's lifelong support." ”
Yun Fang sighed and said, "Hey, if you don't, how can I find a good husband again? Who will I rely on for this life? Who will inherit my ancestral house and land, and the wealth of the Wanguan family?" said Yun Fang, sweeping her tender gaze towards Feng Nuan's body.
When this guy saw it, he thought that Miss Yunfang was secretly sending autumn waves to him, and he couldn't help but feel swaying, and he didn't care about being ashamed, he got up and left his seat, and knocked down to Miss Yunfang with a bang, and said: "If Miss Yunfang doesn't dislike it, I will be willing to be a son-in-law and serve the girl for life." Although he is not talented, he also knows poetry and calligraphy, etiquette and righteousness, and is quite familiar with the way of family finance. ”
Miss Yunfang said shyly and timidly: "If you talk about poetry, books, etiquette, and financial management, a warm brother is much stronger than a hungry and cold brother." It's just that you already have thousands of acres of fertile land, a lot of wealth, and a beautiful wife and concubine in your family, how can you abandon your family and business and enter the Humen? Although you are willing to come here, I am afraid that after three years and five years, you will miss your old wife and concubine and leave me, so you don't dare to be love. ”
After listening to this, Feng Nuan hurriedly said, "It's okay to do this. If the girl is willing to recruit full warmth, I can ask Brother Hunger and Han to testify as a matchmaker, and give all my real estate and family property to my son Brother Hunger and Han, to show my heart for the girl, and cut off my way to abandon you and turn back, what does the girl think?"
Miss Yunfang listened and said, "In this case, of course the little girl is willing, you can go and handle the handover deed with Brother Hunger and Han, and after it is done, we will hold the wedding immediately." ”
Feng Nuan had already been confused, so he went back with Hunger and Cold, found a local official to testify, wrote a red deed document, and gave all the real estate industry to Hunger and Cold. Then, he took the paperwork in his hand, returned to Hu's house with Hunger Han, and handed the paperwork to Hunger Han in front of Hu Yunfang, who took the paperwork and said goodbye.
Staying in Hu Yunfang's immortal house, the two agreed that three days later, a grand wedding would be held and officially entered the Hu Mansion. Full of warmth to this golden luan palace-like fairy house treasure, that night, he lay on the bed, tossing and turning unable to sleep, Yunfang girl's beautiful appearance, always floating in front of his eyes, teasing his heart, hungry and thirsty.
In the middle of the night, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he touched Miss Yunfang's boudoir. I saw Miss Yunfang lying on her side in the brocade silk tent, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was sleeping but not sleeping, a charming sleeping state. Feng Nuan looked at the greedy swallowing saliva, and couldn't help but suddenly lift the curtain and rush towards Miss Yunfang.
Miss Yunfang sat up suddenly, her face changed suddenly, and she shouted: "You thief, you are already full of evil, and you dare to act in vain?
Full of warmth "ouch", leaned back, fell to the ground, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, how could there be any gold carved jade bed, brocade curtain silk tent, and it was clearly a barren tomb in front of him. The weeds in the graveyard are knees-free, thorny, and ghostly fire. Satie Nuan was so frightened that he urinated incontinence, and peed his pants wet. He tried to stand up, but his arms and legs were like bones and cramps, and he would not obey the call. I saw a stone table in front of me, and with the help of starlight and phospho fire, I vaguely saw two lines of big characters on it:
Full of warmth and idleness,
Hunger village is happy with nature.
When he saw it, he held his breath and sighed helplessly: "Alas, it's over!" From then on, he could no longer stand up, and he could only crawl around the grave all day long, begging for offerings from the people who paid tribute to his relatives in the grave.
