During the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a fisherman in Chaozhou Province named Chen Jinge. His family's ancestors have been fishermen for generations, Chen Jinge looks ordinary, his brain is a bit stupid, he is not good at words, and he only knows how to go out to sea to fish by himself.
As an adult, many women rejected him and were reluctant to talk about marriage. Before their parents died, they had to ask their cousin to help sell the old house, and used the silver to marry a fisherman's daughter to their son.
This woman's name is Li Shuiyue, after marriage, but she has a bit of posture, her personality is very strong, she stays at home all day, so that Chen Jinge goes out to sea to fish, and the silver she earns is all kept by herself, and she also bought a lot of rouge gouache, cloth, jewelry and other things in private.
Chen Jinge was an honest man, and he did not dare to say anything more about it, so he had to work hard and complain about raising this evil woman.
One day it was dusk, the sea was windy and rough, and it was very dangerous to go to sea in such weather. Li Shuiyue couldn't help but be idle with Chen Jinge, and urged him to go out to the sea to cast a net.
At noon, heavy rain began to fall from the sky, and huge waves rolled on the surface of the sea, pushing the boat around. Chen Jinge was afraid that his wife would not be happy, so he had to endure the rain to cast a net, fishing hard for half a day, only a few small fish, Chen Jinge was discouraged, once again threw out the net, but his hand instantly felt that he had pulled a heavy object.
Chen Jinge smiled and said, "Hey hey, it seems that he caught a big fish!" "Happy and struggling to close the net, soon after pulled up a mermaid."
The humanoid is shaped like an adult, the upper body looks no different from ordinary people, the eyebrows are clear and the skin is white, a pair of eyes emit colorful glare, looking like a heavenly immortal, but the lower body is half a fish tail, and the scales of the fish are extremely conspicuous with white light.
Chen Jinge looked surprised and shouted, "Are you a human or a demon?" The mermaid then said, "Don't panic, the slave family is a mermaid who has lived in the sea for five hundred years, and it will never harm people, and you let me go!" ”
Chen Jinge wanted to agree, but when he thought that his wife had said that no matter what she caught, she would take it back, so she was afraid that Li Shuiyue would not be happy, so she continued to cover the mermaid in the fishing net and took the boat back home.
That Li Shuiyue himself has never seen a mermaid, but when he was a child, he heard the old man in the village say that eating mermaid meat can prolong life. In this regard, he asked Chen Jinge to put the mermaid into a large water tank and imprison her first.
Li Shuiyue squatted in front of the water tank to watch, found that the mermaid in front of him looked like a flower, the skin was white and smooth, and he was jealous, and quietly said to Chen Jinge: "This is a fish demon, cut off its flesh and stew soup to eat, can live a long life!" ”
Chen Jinge was a little unbearable, and said, "This mermaid is born beautifully, not like a harmful demon, or let it go!" When Li Shuiyue heard this, he was so angry that he pinched Chen Jinge's arm twice, and said with his teeth: "You fool, you are fascinated by this goblin, if you don't listen to me, I will immediately go back to my mother's house."
When Chen Jinge saw his wife making such a fuss, he immediately became soft, so he had to go into the kitchen to sharpen the knife and cut a piece of tender meat from the back of the mermaid.
The strange thing is that the mermaid was cut flesh, and there was no cry of pain at all, but with complicated eyes, he looked at Chen Jinge without saying a word. And the cut wound was soaked in water and half-incense, and it healed automatically.
That night, Chen Jinge sliced the mermaid meat, threw it into a clay pot, and then put some onion and ginger, and then simmered it with a fierce fire, and in a short time it boiled a pot of soup with a strange aroma.
As soon as it was served to the table, Li Shuiyue couldn't wait to eat and drink a bowl, and while drinking, he said to Chen Jinge: "You stupid look at what ghost, don't eat it yet!" ”
Chen Jinge hesitated a few times, only to hold a small bowl to taste, found that the taste of meat and throat, there is a strong fragrance, drink a few mouthfuls found some discomfort in the body, so stop and dare not drink again.
But that Li Shi was greedy, drank a bowl, and said: "The taste is a little weird, but it can still enter the throat, you don't eat the slave family eats it all!" "Just drink the rest of the mermaid soup."
It was night, and the mermaid was trapped in the water tank, with a wooden lid and stones pressed on it, unable to get out, and screamed for a while, only to be quiet.
However, on the second day, when Chen Jinge woke up, he felt that his body was extremely itchy, and when he opened his shirt and looked at it, he suddenly found that his body was full of fish scales, and when he was frightened and panicked, he did not see his wife on the bed, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a large pomfret lying under the bed, so he exclaimed: "Where are you, my wife, where did this fish come from?" ”
I saw the big pomfret on the ground bouncing, constantly muttering to the fish's mouth, "The stupid man is me, your eyes are blind!" Save me back. The voice was None other than Li Shuiyue.
Chen Jinge immediately slipped under his feet in fright, threw himself to the ground, and said, "Why did you become a fish?" ”
Li Shuiyue, who had changed into a pomfret, was still inferior, but turned to anger and blamed: "It must be the fish demon who is doing something wrong, hurt me to become a fish, go and kill it!" ”
Chen Jinge believed it to be true, and hurried to the front of the water tank and shouted at the mermaid, "You demon, what evil law did you use to harm my wife and turn into a fish?" ”
But the mermaid said, "I am a spirit in the sea, and the bones of my body are transformed by fish, and when you and your husband and wife eat my flesh, they will naturally become fish, and the more you eat, the faster you will become, and you will become a fish in three days." ”
Chen Jinge looked at the fish scales on his body, panicked in an instant, and immediately knelt down and said, "Lady Fish Fairy, I don't want to change into a fish, please let me and my wife go!" ”
The mermaid said, "It's too late, and the only thing to blame is that your wife is too greedy and vicious, and now she deserves to be a pomfret." When Chen Jinge heard this, he cried and prayed, and begged for half a day, and the mermaid thought that he had had good thoughts at the beginning, and the sin did not turn into a fish, so he said the method of lifting.
Chen Jinge listened, did not dare to be sluggish, immediately did what the mermaid said, ran to the medicine shop, begged Langzhong to use fiery red scissors, cut off the scales born on his body, and then put the wound with the saliva spit spit out by the mermaid, bandaged tightly, and the pain was so bad that he rushed home for half a day.
At this time, the fish-turned-fish Li Clan was already dying in front of the bed, still nagging something in his mouth, Chen Jinge begged the mermaid to save his wife, and the mermaid said that he was unable to return to heaven, and persuaded Chen Jinge to put Li Into the sea, perhaps to let her continue to live as a fish.
Eventually, Chen Jinge tearfully carried the pomfret to the beach, and then put the pomfret into the water.
After a moment, the pomfret gradually eased up, swam in the sea, and kept scolding: "You stupid man, why only the slave family changes fish, but you are safe and sound?" Chen Jinge had to tell the ins and outs of the matter, and the Li clan who had turned into a fish was very angry, and he was about to bite Chen Jinge with his mouth open, but fortunately, Chen Jinge's legs and feet were fast, and he climbed onto the shore.
Li Shi nagged about this for a while, so he had to cry and dive into the deep water and disappear.
On the same day, Chen Jinge put the mermaid back into the sea, knelt down to atone for his sins, and watched the mermaid leave. After that, he did not dare to go out to sea to fish, and changed to farming.
(The author of this article | Tang Sometimes) Jing Yue Zhai sent a message:
Li Shi is a typical evil woman, a selfish woman who only cares about herself. The windy weather made her husband go fishing, and if something happened and died, it was estimated that she would not be upset at all. Such a person, who eventually becomes a fish, is also a well-deserved end.
Animism, let alone a human-like mermaid, even if it is an ordinary wild animal, we humans do not have the right to kill and eat meat. Most of the wild animals in our country today are included in the protection, which is actually a good ideological progress.
Between husband and wife, we should also think more from each other's standpoint, if we just think about our own personal interests everywhere and are not willing to sacrifice a little, then how can we have a happy and harmonious home!
