In Peach Blossom Village, there is a widow surnamed Zhang, and everyone calls her Aunt Zhang. When she was young, she was a beautiful woman, but unfortunately she had a hard life, married a short-lived ghost, and was widowed early. Although Aunt Zhang is widowed, she is diligent and good-hearted, and the people in the village take good care of her.
One day, a scholar from Peach Blossom Village who fled came to Li Moxuan. This young man looks like a gentleman, and he has a bookish air, and he knows at a glance that he is a reader. Li Moxuan came to the village and heard that there was a shortage of teachers in the village, so he recommended himself and became a teacher. He taught a good way, and the children liked him, and the adults praised him as a good teacher.
After a long time, Aunt Zhang and Li Moxuan became acquainted. Aunt Zhang often goes to the school to help, and the two of them come and go, which is a bit of that meaning. Li Moxuan fell in love with Aunt Zhang's diligence and kindness, and Aunt Zhang also liked Li Moxuan's talent and demeanor. Both of them knew it in their hearts, but they just didn't find it.
But there is an unwritten rule in Peach Blossom Village that widows cannot remarry. Although Aunt Zhang is a good person, as soon as she mentioned this, the old man and the old lady in the village began to shake their heads and say some ugly things. Li Moxuan is also a scholar, and he pays attention to his name, and he knows in his heart that this matter is not easy to do.
Just when the two of them were hesitating, something strange happened in the mountains outside Peach Blossom Village. That night, the villagers heard a strange sound from the mountain, which was like the roar of a wild beast and the cry of a ghost, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to go out. The next day, a few bold men went into the mountain to take a look, and found a cave, and there was a broken wooden sign hanging at the entrance of the cave, on which were written the three big characters "Netherworld Cave". This cave is said to be a passage to the underworld, and it is haunted by ghosts at night.
When the people in the village heard this, they were very frightened and talked about it. Some say that this cave was built by the ancestors to suppress evil spirits, and some say that it is a sign of the wrath of the mountain gods. When Aunt Zhang and Li Moxuan heard about it, their hearts were also up and down. Although they didn't believe in ghosts and gods, they also knew that this matter was in a big uproar in the village, and if the two of them got too close at this time, they would definitely attract more gossip.
At this moment, the village elders came to the door. The elder was a respected old man, and he said to Aunt Zhang with a serious face: "Aunt Zhang, you are a good person, but you also know the rules of our village. Although Mr. Li is a good person, the matter between the two of you is discussed by the people in the village. Now there's another Netherworld Cave, and we can't afford to go wrong in our village. You two, let's keep your distance. ”
When Aunt Zhang heard this, her heart felt like she had been pricked by a needle. She looked at the back of the elder as he departed, tears rolling in her eyes. Li Moxuan's kid heard those words outside the door, and he felt a bad feeling in his heart. As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Widow Zhang's face, as if it had been frosted, and secretly made up his mind. Since then, the two of them have met in the academy, and it is still the same as before, but it feels like a layer of window paper, revealing a sense of life. The people in the village also saw that the relationship between them was not as hot as before. But in Peach Blossom Village, there are so many things like the wind in the mountains, and they change when they say. Everyone thought that this matter was over, but who knows, another even more evil thing has emerged. Let's not worry, we'll talk about it next time!
Just a few days after that, there was a more evil news in Peach Blossom Village-the Netherworld Cave actually began to emit black smoke outside, and at night, the whole village could hear a low cry coming from the cave, as if there were countless unjust souls wandering inside, unable to find an exit. As soon as this happened, the whole village was fried. Some say that the mountain god is angry and wants to give Peach Blossom Village some color; Some say that the ghosts in the cave want to come out and harm people; Others say that it is a bad omen, and the village is going to be in great trouble. When Widow Zhang heard this, her heart was even more chaotic. On the one hand, she was worried about Li Moxuan's safety, and on the other hand, she was afraid that the gossip in the village would cause trouble for him. As for Li Moxuan, although he seems to be fine on the surface, he is actually up and down in his heart. He knew that if the matter of this Netherworld Cave was not resolved, the matter between him and Widow Zhang would never be resolved.
At this time, Li Moxuan came up with an idea. He decided to go to the Netherworld Cave to find out what was going on with the black smoke and cries. He told Widow Zhang about this idea, and although Widow Zhang was worried, she also understood that this was the only way to solve the problem. So she silently prepared dry food and water for him, and begged the old man in the village to give him a few amulets. With Widow Zhang's blessing and the hope of the whole village, Li Moxuan embarked on the road to the Netherworld Cave. He was careful along the way, for fear of alarming the ghosts in the cave. When we reached the entrance of the cave, the black smoke became thicker and thicker, and the crying became more and more clear. He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and walked inside. The cave was dark and rumbling, and I couldn't see anything. Li Moxuan could only rely on his feelings to touch forward. As I walked, I suddenly stumbled under my feet, and when I looked down, I was a good fellow, a white bone! He almost screamed, but at the thought of his task, he suppressed his fear and moved on.
When Widow Zhang saw that Li Moxuan had come back safe and sound, the tears fell down like beads with broken threads. She hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that he would fly again if he was not paying attention. Li Moxuan was not to be outdone, he hugged him tightly, and the two of them were grateful and full of happiness in their hearts.
As soon as this incident passed, the villagers' views on Widow Zhang and Li Moxuan also changed. What used to be gossip has now become a blessing. The elders of the village also talked to Widow Zhang and said, "Widow, I think this young man Li Moxuan is a man with affection and righteousness, if you really love each other, then don't hide it." The rules of our village are dead, people are alive, and we have to know how to be flexible. When Widow Zhang heard this, her tears couldn't stop flowing, she waited for this day to thank all the flowers, and finally be able to be with Li Moxuan openly.
So, in the cheers of the whole village, Widow Zhang and Li Moxuan simply held a wedding. Although there is no luxurious dowry, and there is no big scene, the two of them are very satisfied with the beauty in their hearts. After getting married, Li Moxuan still stayed in the village to teach, and Widow Zhang was busy with housework at home. The two of them respect each other like guests, love each other, and become a model couple in our village.
Since Li Moxuan went to the Netherworld Cave, there has been no trouble with any moths, and it seems that everything has returned to calm. The story of Li Moxuan and Widow Zhang has also spread in the village and has become a good story. People say that Li Moxuan, a young man, is brave and strategic, and Widow Zhang, a daughter-in-law, is virtuous and kind. Their love story has become a beautiful scenery in our Peach Blossom Village, inspiring future generations to bravely pursue true love.
As the days passed, Peach Blossom Village returned to its former tranquility. But the story of Li Moxuan and Widow Zhang is like a seed, quietly taking root and sprouting in the hearts of the villagers. When night falls, the old people of the village will gather under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, smoking dry tobacco while chatting about the legendary story of this loving couple.
Li Moxuan's reputation has risen since he solved the mystery of the Nether Cave. He is not only a teacher in the village, but also a hero in the hearts of everyone. In his class, in addition to those little children, there were many more curious adults, all who wanted to hear how this wise and brave scholar solved the mystery of the Nether Cave. Widow Zhang has also changed from an ordinary widow to a celebrity in the village. Her hard work, kindness, and tenacity have earned her the respect of all. The love story between her and Li Moxuan is even more legendary, as if it is a romantic story that spans life and death.
But in life, I always like to joke. Just when the two of them were enjoying a peaceful and happy day, a sudden change broke the tranquility. One day, a wealthy businessman who claimed to be a distant relative of Li Moxuan suddenly came to Taohua Village. Listening to this makes people feel a little upset in their hearts. Oops, that's a real annoyance. The buddy was holding a marriage book in his hand, saying that Li Moxuan's kid ran away in order to hide from the family's things, and cut off contact with the family. Now that the family is developed, I want to get this long-lost baby back and take over the family business. This rich merchant was aggressive, brought a lot of gold and silver treasures as a dowry, and led a group of family members, and the pomp was too big. He found Li Moxuan, lit up the marriage book, and told him that he was Li Moxuan's father's old iron, and now he came to take him home to inherit the family business. Li Moxuan looked at this sudden change and was stunned for a while. He knew very well in his heart that he could not have such relatives, let alone run away from home. But the marriage book in the hand of the rich businessman was written as if it were real, which made people have to believe it.
When the people in the village saw the posture of this rich businessman, they all thought that Li Moxuan was really the son of a big family. They talked a lot, some envied Li Moxuan's good luck, and some were worried that he would leave Peach Blossom Village and Widow Zhang. When Widow Zhang heard the news, her heart was full of joy. She was happy for Li Moxuan, and felt that this kid finally had a chance to live a good life; and feared that he would leave her because of this. Li Moxuan looked at Widow Zhang's anxious eyes, and his heart was also mixed. He knew that he couldn't just leave Widow Zhang, but how should he deal with the rich businessman in front of him?
At this moment, Li Moxuan's smart head turned again. He carefully examined the handwriting and seal on the marriage certificate and noticed that something was wrong. He found the old man and calligrapher in the village, and after research, he finally exposed the true face of the rich merchant - it turned out that the rich merchant was a liar who forged the marriage certificate and wanted to defraud Li Moxuan's family property. Li Moxuan told the villagers about this, and everyone was so angry when they heard it. With the help of the villagers, Li Moxuan and Widow Zhang drove the rich merchant out of Taohua Village.
Although this incident brought a lot of fright to Li Moxuan and Widow Zhang, it also brought the two of them closer to each other. They know that no matter what difficulties they encounter, as long as they are together, nothing can stop them. After this incident, the relationship between Li Moxuan and Widow Zhang deepened. They face difficulties together, share happiness together, and go through ups and downs together. Their love story has also become a scenery in Taohua Village, inspiring the young people in the village to bravely pursue love and cherish the happiness in front of them.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Li Moxuan and Widow Zhang have gone through dozens of years. Although the years have left marks on their faces, their hearts are still as young as they were then. They are still holding hands, shoulder to shoulder, walking on the path of Peach Blossom Village, enjoying their happy time. And the people of Peach Blossom Village are still telling their story - a story of courage, wisdom, love and happiness. It's not a simple story, it's not just a good story, it's a continuation of the spirit, and a source of strength. It reminds us all: as long as we have love, faith, courage, and wisdom in our hearts, we can settle any difficulties, and we can pursue our own happiness. We have to keep this in mind, don't underestimate it.
