During the Song Dynasty, there was a young man named Luo Cheng in Yuncheng County, a fisherman, who grew up fishing in the waters east of the village, and was born very strong, but unfortunately his mother died early, and his father was bedridden all day, so the marriage has not landed, and he is still a bachelor in his twenties.
One night, Luo Cheng had spent time repairing his fishing nets temporarily, and when he returned home, it was late at night, and when he passed by a deep reed bush by the river, he heard a woman's moaning inside.
Luo Cheng heard the voice and blushed, and couldn't help but look inside curiously, and he couldn't see that a man of five years and three thick was bullying a weak woman, and both of them were already disheveled.
The woman was obviously forced, wanting to struggle and being weak, Luo Cheng couldn't help but rush up when he saw this, so he was about to shout loudly and go forward to stop the man.
Unexpectedly, before the shouting was issued, Luo Cheng's mouth was covered to death by a pair of dry hands, Luo Cheng looked back, the person who covered his mouth was no one else, it was his deceased mother Liu Shi, who had been dead for three years, at this time the moon was round, the skin color of the deceased mother looked like when she was alive, if it were not for the pair of dry and wrinkled gray hands, Luo Cheng almost thought that his mother had come back to life.
Despite this, Luo Cheng obediently followed Liu Shi out of the reeds, and Liu Shi took him around a large inlet, which pulled him to sit down on the stone.
Luo Chenggang wanted to ask something, the deceased mother Liu Shi had already taken the lead in speaking, she looked at her son and said worriedly: "Just now that person is a butcher surnamed Wang in a neighboring town, he fled with a kidnapped woman, and at night the beast is full of hair and bullying people, baby, you are not his opponent, if I had not crawled out of the tomb tonight to stop it, you would have to have a bloody disaster." ”
Liu Clan touched his son's head with pity, and continued: "You don't have to learn from others to be strong, ah, my son, you know that niang's grave is on this hill, every time you come to catch a fisherman, she will bless you, but niang's ability is limited, niang will leave, and the child must take care of it." ”
Luo Cheng was already in tears, and as soon as he looked up, his mother Liu Shi was really gone, and everything just now was like a dream. Luo Cheng returned to the reed bush just now, and the people inside had already left, and only an embroidered lotus bag fell to the ground.
Luo Cheng picked up the purse, only to see that the purse was embroidered with Ye Fu on one side, and the two words xiangli were embroidered on the other side, and there were still a few ingots of silver in it, was the woman just now called Ye Xiangli?
After two days, Luo Cheng went to the street to sell fish, and actually saw the big man buying buns, and then sneaked to an inn, Luo Cheng guessed that the abducted woman must still be in the inn, and he couldn't help but have a plan, he ran to the other street, pretended to be sad and crying, and shouted: "Catch the adulteress, catch the adulteress!" My wife was abducted to the inn, who helped me to catch the adulteress, one person sent consistent money! ”
Luo Cheng said, Yang Yang held the silver in his hand, for a while the lazy men on the street hula all gathered around, a total of seven or eight strong men, Luo Cheng changed the silver to distribute the deposit to everyone, and beckoned everyone to go with him.
When he arrived at the door of the inn, Luo Cheng raised his fist and asked the inn guy, which room was the big man who had just bought the bun and went back? His wife was abducted by him! The guy was frightened when he saw so many people at the door, and quickly said the location of the room, Luo Cheng really took the gang to catch the adulteress.
In the inn compartment, the big man was still talking kindly and coaxing a crying girl, Luo Cheng led people to kick open the door, the big man was frightened and turned to jump out of the window, was held down by Luo Cheng with an arrow, and the people behind him also hula surrounded him, trapping the big man in the middle, there was a long-eyed man who had already got the rope, everyone trapped the big man, Luo Cheng returned the purse to the girl, and proposed that the girl go to the county court with herself to report to the official.
The young girl was full of tears, looking at Luo Cheng was like looking at the big savior, without saying a word, she followed the people out of the inn and walked toward the county court, the county official heard that someone had abducted and sold women, and had already been angry, and when Luo Cheng explained the situation, he was going to execute the big man, and the big man looked at all kinds of torture equipment, and first his legs were weak, and he confessed.
It turned out that this person was really a butcher named Wang Weitian in the neighboring town, he accidentally saw Miss Ye Xiangli xiuxiu delicious, he couldn't help but feel angry, taking advantage of the fact that miss went out to incense, beat her unconscious, and secretly carried her down the mountain, and fled elsewhere overnight, along the way it was coercion and deception, and finally got this Miss Ye to the neighboring town, which violated her in the field, as for when Luo Cheng met this matter, he really did not know.
When the county magistrate saw that Wang Weitian confessed that he did not violate it, he directly imprisoned him and sent an errand boy to contact the officials of the neighboring town and Ye Xiangli's family. Later, Ye Xiangli took his benefactor Luo Cheng home to meet his parents, and Ye's father and mother were grateful to Luo Cheng and left him to live in the palace for nearly a month like a guest.
During this period, Father Ye tentatively asked Luo Cheng if he intended to marry his daughter, and Luo Cheng said that he had the heart to be afraid that Gao could not climb up, and Father Ye smiled and immediately decided on the marriage of the two young people.
Later, Luo Cheng took Ye Xiangli to live in the town of his hometown, and the family property that Ye Xiangli brought was enough for the two of them to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and even Luo Cheng's sick father was well taken care of. Every year after that, Luo Cheng would take his wife Ye Xiangli to his mother's grave to worship, but her mother never appeared again.
Editor's note: The ancients said that saving a life is better than creating a seven-level floating massacre, although it is difficult to save people, but we should not give up the opportunity to accumulate merit, just like Luo Cheng in the text, he missed the best rescue opportunity because of his mother's obstruction, but it may also be so, Father Ye happily married his daughter to him, the fate of people in the world, who can say it accurately.
