During the Ming Dynasty, there was a businessman in timber business in Yangchun County called Liu Ning. On this day, there were guests in the house, and the Liu family was decorated with lights and a little girl with pink and jade was jumping back and forth during the banquet.
At this time, an old man came over from the crowd and took the girl's hand. He said to the girl in a doting way: "Siye, grandfather takes you to see Aunt Lu."
The old man who spoke was named Liu Laohan, who was nearly 61 years old. He is Liu Ning's father and is a very famous carpenter in the countryside.
Today is the day when his son Liu Ning gets married. He and his wife Hu have been looking forward to this day for many years. Looking back on something that happened a few years ago, the old couple was often awakened by nightmares.
If it weren't for the daughter-in-law Lu's help, the Liu family's father and son would have suffered a disaster. But at that time, Liu Ning and Madam Lu had a huge gap in their identities, and they didn't expect to become a family.
This made Old Man Liu and his wife feel mixed feelings. Now the old couple still feel scared when they see their daughter-in-law. So who is this Lady Lu? How could her parents-in-law be so afraid?
This matter starts with why Liu Ning didn’t learn the skills of the carpenter and went to the county timber shop to be an apprentice.
Old Man Liu is a carpenter who often works early and comes back late. He is not only good at craftsmanship, but also kind-hearted. He knows that life is not easy for villagers, so he earns very little wages for villagers. In this way, he can't make much money from busy morning to night.
When I was a child, Liu Ning was angry about this. Compared with other people's blue brick houses, he still lives in an earth-walled thatched house with leaking wind and rain. Therefore, Liu Ning felt that his family was not well-off and felt inferior. He believed that the father, Old Man Liu, was too cowardly.
Liu Ning also held a grudge against the people in the village because of this, thinking that they like to take advantage of others and bully honest people.
So, when Liu Ning grew up, he did not follow Liu Lao Han to learn craftsmanship, but went to the shop in the county to be an apprentice.
In Liu Ning's opinion, learning carpenter skills will end up with his father, Old Man Liu, and spend his whole life staying in the village. He wants to make money in the county town, and when the conditions are improved, he will take his parents away and never return to this place for his whole life.
Liu Ning's master's surname is Ye, and he is the owner of the county timber shop. He lost his wife in middle age and finally pulled his daughter up. He saw that his daughter got married and had a daughter, but died of dying from labor.
The husband's family prefers boys over girls is very negligent about the daughter born to Ye. When the child is hungry, he lets him cry and scream unmoved. Boss Ye took his granddaughter back to take care of him in anger. Because he was old and couldn't do anything about his business, he hired an apprentice to help him take care of it.
Old man Liu is a carpenter who often takes Liu Ning into the mountains to find wood, so Liu Ning is very clear about the type of wood. Therefore, Boss Ye had a keen eye to recognize people and accepted Liu Ning, who was in the apprentice, as a closed disciple.
Boss Ye is very good at teaching people. With his help, Liu Ning will be able to start the shop business soon. Boss Ye trusts him very much. He usually needs to take care of his granddaughter and rarely comes to the shop.
Three or four years have passed since then, and Boss Ye’s health has become worse and worse than before. I was very worried when I looked at my young granddaughter, afraid that she would be lonely and helpless in the world after she passed away.
So, Boss Ye found his apprentice Liu Ning and said to him: "I'm not long after my life. I decided to adopt the shop to your name and give you all the property, but there is a condition that I hope you can agree to me."
Boss Ye proposed the condition that Liu Ning adopted his granddaughter.
"I know you are a kind person and will definitely keep your promise in the future. I don't ask you to treat her as your biological daughter, I just ask you to reach out to help her when she is in trouble."
Liu Ning was stunned and agreed immediately, saying that he would treat the child well. Boss Ye was very happy that maybe he had removed the burden in his heart. Boss Ye passed away three days later.
Since the child has been adopted by Liu Ning, he gave the child a name called Liu Siye.
At that time, Liu Ning's parents still lived in the village. So he took the children back to the village. After learning about Boss Ye’s death instructions, Old Man Liu said to Liu Ning with great sincerity: “What our family promises must be completed no matter what. In the future, this child will be the blood of the Liu family. You must treat her kindly.”
Originally, Old Man Liu wanted to raise the child himself, and the two old men could help Liu Ning when they have nothing to do in the countryside. But Liu Siye was very dependent on Liu Ning. If he was not there, he would cry and make a fuss. The old couple couldn't coax him no matter how much they coaxed him, so Liu Ning had to leave the child in the city.
A few years later, Liu Ning's timber business got better and better, so he brought his parents to the city. First, it is convenient for filial piety, and second, when Liu Siye grows up, someone needs to teach rules and cannot stick to Liu Ning like he did when he was a child.
Old Man Liu and his wife were used to pastoral life, and suddenly they heard that they were not willing to live in the county town. However, Liu Ning asked them to come to the county town to take care of the children in the name of taking care of Liu Siye, and the old couple agreed to feel sorry for the children.
Another purpose of the old couple moving to the city is to let Liu Ning find a marriage immediately.
The old couple also knows that Liu Ning is now a boss and is also a person with status. If he has been living in the village, he will inevitably cause criticism. Others will say that Liu Ning has ignored his parents in order to make money, and an unfilial person will be stabbed.
No one knows that their son is better than their mother. Hu knew that Liu Ning had always been reluctant to get married because he was afraid that his wife would neglect Liu Siye, so he delayed it until now.
Now the child is five or six years old, and the old couple has come to the city to help. So Liu Ning has no excuse to continue to be single.
Liu Ning is busy with business and has no concerns about blind dates. He only has one condition, that is, he must be nice to his children when marrying a wife. As for the woman's family background and appearance, it is not the focus.
Just as Hu and the matchmaker were discussing the marriage, Old Man Liu climbed onto the roof to pick up a kite, but his feet slipped and fell down. The doctor said that he had been seriously injured and had not lived for half a year.
At night, the mother and son were waiting in front of the bed for Old Man Liu to wake up. In the past, Siye and her grandfather were closest to each other. Although she was still young, she knew how to look at her face. When she saw her grandmother choking, she burst into tears.
Hu saw that it was already the second half of the night, and he couldn't bear to stay up late like an adult, so he asked the maid to carry him to the next house to sleep. Not long after the child left, Old Man Liu woke up leisurely.
The first thing he woke up was asking if he was scared by the child. He was worried that his mistake would leave a shadow on the child's heart.
"Original! You can rest assured. The child was still in the house just now. It was getting late. I asked the maid to carry him to bed." Hu said,
Old Man Liu was relieved when he heard this and sat up with Liu Ning's help.
"Hey! Don't lie to me, I fell down from such a high place. I know that I don't have much time. Don't be sad, living a lot of life is enough."
Hu only felt his nose sore, and Old Man Liu said to Hu: "You are the one I'm most sorry for in my life. I thought I would be with you for more than a few years, but it seems that I can't do it. This family will depend on you in the future."
Liu Ning looked at his father's weathered cheeks and regretted that he had not had a good meal with his father in business these years.
He choked and said, "Dad, you can keep it with peace of mind. I will find the best doctor to treat you. When you recover from your illness, your son will marry a wife and let you hold a big fat boy."
Old man Liu said angrily, "You are just thinking about getting married now. Alas, you are not easy for you over the years. My father has not helped me, and I will drag you back when I get old. I feel really sorry."
"Dad, why do we have to say this? If you have no wishes, I will definitely accompany you to fulfill them."
Old man Liu was stunned. He really had one wish when he talked about his wishes, but his thoughts were fading over the years.
Liu Ning saw that his father had not spoken for a long time and looked out the window with his eyes blankly. He thought he was uncomfortable and frightened to find a doctor. Old Man Liu also noticed the loss of composure and coughed and said, "I have a wish to go back to the village to build an old house again."
The old house mentioned by Old Man Liu is at the foot of the Nanshan Mountain. It used to be the ancestral house of the Liu family. It was just that when Old Man Liu was a child, he was burned by a strange fire, and his father died of illness soon after.
Liu Ning once heard his father say that the Liu family is not a local. Instead, he moved from the capital to the foot of Nanshan decades ago, and his grandfather, Old Master Liu, built a villa here.
After the Liu family courtyard was burned out, the Liu family declined. Even Old Man Liu didn't know what happened in this story, but Old Man Liu asked his son to rebuild the old house in the future before his death.
Over the years, Old Man Liu has no money to complete his father's will because of his livelihood, and gradually forgot about this matter. He originally wanted to wait until Liu Ning's business is stable before letting him complete the matter, but now it seems that he must be ahead of schedule.
When Liu Ning knew that Liu's father wanted to go back to the village to build a house, he felt a little resistant. After all, there were too many bad memories in the village in his childhood, but he couldn't bear to see the expectant gaze in the eyes of Old Man Liu.
Finally, Liu Ning agreed to arrange for someone to go to the village to rebuild the old house. However, Old Man Liu said: "It is a big deal to find someone to repair the old house. You can't be careless. While I can still move to the village to work as a supervisor."
Old Man Liu is already terminally ill. How could his family let him go back to the village alone? Liu Ning hesitated for a while and made a decision, and he wanted to take his whole family back to the village to live for a while.
can continue to do business in the future, and there are not many days to accompany my father.
The yard where the Liu family father and son lived is in the village, with only two rooms. This time, Liu Ning did not bring the maid and servant back. He knew that the house was small and could not accommodate so many people.
The next day, Liu Laohan's apprentice Ma Decai accompanied Liu Ning to the old house at the foot of Nanshan. Liu Ning gave him the work of building a house, and he was relieved to do things with familiar people.
On the road, Ma Decai told Liu Ning that there was a rumor at the foot of the Nanshan Mountain that there was a ", four-dimensional " in the mountain likes to appear at night, so few villagers enter the mountain.
The so-called "four-like" is elk , because its head and face are like horses, horns are like deer, hooves are like cows, and tails are like donkeys, so it is named Four-like. According to legend, deer will be intoxicated when you see it. Therefore, there is no more people within a hundred miles of Nanshan.
"I heard from the older generation that Sibuli came to Nanshan when the first time, the villagers did not believe this rumor continued to enter the mountain. As a result, after returning, they all fell seriously ill and died not long after. Since then, all the villagers nearby moved away. The villa of your old Liu family was said to be burned at that time."
Ma Decai introduced the situation nearby and deliberately lowered his voice when talking about the rumors about "Sibuli". After a while, the two of them came under a big locust tree, and the branches were covered with crows, which looked very bleak.
This is the only place to enter Nanshan.
Looking up, you can see independent courtyards, but no one has lived in it for many years and has collapsed. You can see the lush Nanshan not far away, and there are lush trees in the mountains and no hills can be seen.
After walking south for about half an hour, a half-open yard with white walls and gray tiles suddenly appeared in front of you. The carved beams and painted pillars of the mansion were very unique, which shows that the Liu family was very prominent at that time.
Liu Ning once came with Old Man Liu once. Due to rumors here, the father and son just stood in front of the door and did not enter. This time, I walked into the yard for the first time because I wanted to measure the old house.
Most of the houses have been burned down by fire, with wooden beams scattered all over the ground, and broken bricks and tiles everywhere. Ma De was walking in front, and he used a wooden stick to clean the spider silk that formed a net, and soon the wooden stick was made into a marshmallow.
Hearing an amazement, Liu Ning was shouted by Ma Decai, "Boss Liu, come and see, there is an exquisite landscape painting hanging in the hall of your ancestral house. It is still beautiful in the past few decades."
There is a painting hanging on the east side of the living room wall. It is painting a mountain. On the winding mountain road, there is a man in a straw raincoat leading an elk.
As Ma Decai said, the years have left no traces on the painting, and even the fragrance of ink is still there. Liu Ning brought a stool to take off the painting and carefully put it away.
Two people walked in the yard and finalized the details of building the house. Ma Decai took note of the places that needed to be modified with charcoal, and decided on three days to draw a bird's-eye view. If there were no problems, construction would be started.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ma De suggested talking and chatting so that he would not get lost here after dark. So the two closed the door again and left the old house.
The two of them had just left, and three big men appeared. They looked at Liu Ning's back and turned around and walked towards Nanshan with thoughtful thoughts.
When he returned home, Liu Ning showed the landscape paintings he brought back from the old house to Old Man Liu. Old Man Liu was very shocked. He said this to Liu Ning by his father. The person wearing a straw raincoat in the painting was his father Old Master Liu.
Old man Liu held the painting tremblingly and sat up with Liu Ning's support. He told everyone about a secret story back then.
At that time, Old Master Liu was still alive. He was born in a large family in the capital and was tired of life of intrigue. During the tour, I passed by the foot of the Nanshan Mountain and was soon attracted by the scenery here.
So, after he returned to the capital, he moved to the foot of Nanshan Mountain with his wife.
One day, Old Master Liu was practicing calligraphy in the study and suddenly heard his wife calling for help in the yard. Old Master Liu hurried over with his sword and saw an uninvited guest standing in the yard. It was actually a wounded elk.
Old Master Liu has seen this deer in miscellaneous books, so he is not afraid of it. He asked the maid to help his wife into the house and face the elk alone.
He looked around the elk and found a feather arrow inserted on its back. From the damaged tiles on the wall, it was confirmed that the elk was climbing over the wall, which showed that it had amazing bounce.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Can you let me treat any injuries on your back?"
The elk saw that the old man Liu's eyes were clear and he put down his guard, and he actually crawled on the ground gentlely. Old Master Liu knew how to use medical skills and quickly called his wife and asked him to prepare some gauze to treat the deer.
Everyone took a lot of trouble to remove the feather arrow. Perhaps it was too hard to escape along the way, and the elk fell asleep in the process.
He carefully looked at the feather arrows taken from the elk and found clues from it. The feather arrow had the word Zhang engraved on it and the label of a flying bird.
Old Master Liu showed a complicated look in his eyes. From the pattern, this feather arrow came from the second assistant to the cabinet.
Now the chief assistant Zhang Ge Lao has passed away and his home is scouted. The second assistant Zhang Ge Lao is in power. When the Liu family relied on the chief assistant and became rich, it has now become the thorn in the second assistant Zhang Ge Lao's side. Only then did the old master Liu have to escape from the capital to avoid disaster.
He sighed, "It's a blessing, it's a disaster, it's a disaster that cannot be avoided."
The elk is recuperating in the Liu family courtyard, and the old master Liu takes good care of it. The elk was very smart and knew that he was rescued by Mr. Liu, so he trusted him very much, and he looked at each other happily.
In a blink of an eye, more than half a year passed. Mr. Liu received a letter from a friend in the capital saying that the second auxiliary Zhang Ge Lao had ordered the investigation of the Liu family's crime of relying on the chief minister.
The next day, Old Master Liu put on a straw raincoat and led the elk into the Nanshan Mountain. Soon, it was reported that a deer called "Four-Dislike" came from the Nanshan Mountains. As long as someone saw it, it would be in trouble.
In fact, these are all rumors spread by Mr. Liu. He hopes that the villagers will fear the rumors and will not go to the mountains to hunt elk.He knew that he could not escape the frame-up of Jisu, and did not want the elk to be implicated, so he released it in the mountains and forests.
After parting, Old Master Liu missed the elk very much, so he personally drew a picture of "The Elk Returns to the Mountain" and hung it in the lobby. Sure enough, one night not long later, several uninvited guests came outside the Liu family, and they quietly set fire.
Seeing that the fire spread, it was about to burn into the house where Mr. Liu lived, but suddenly the thunder woke Mr. Liu up.
He rescued everyone in the mansion from the sea of fire, and was accidentally hit by the falling beam for this.
This fire burned all the valuable things of the Liu family, but fortunately, except for the old man Liu, everyone was safe and sound.
People all say that illness comes like a mountain of falling, and the injuries suffered by Old Master Liu in the sea of fire became worse, and he suddenly fell ill and passed away. There is God's will in the dark. The second auxiliary Zhang Ge Lao, who was at its peak in the capital, was suddenly questioned and imprisoned, and the Liu family was spared from being framed.
It’s just that the old man Liu left behind an orphan and widowed mother after his death, and the Liu family has never recovered from then on. The family business was passed to Old Man Liu, and the original family members of the capital became carpenters in the countryside.
After talking about the secret at home, Old Man Liu reminded Liu Ning: "This painting is ready and hang it again in the lobby. This is the calligraphy left by your grandfather. You must cherish it."
Liu Ning saw that his father was tired and waited for him to rest, and went to the village alone for a walk. When I walked to the entrance of the village, I looked at the south mountain in the distance and felt thoughtful.
According to my father, the rumors about the Sibuxiang in Nanshan were all rumors made by my grandfather to release elks. So why did Ma Decai say that a villager died mysteriously after entering the mountain?
The southern mountains in the dark night are shrouded in a cloud and mist, and at this time a woman in green walked towards her. She walked past Liu Ning with her hands behind her back. She suddenly turned her head and asked, "Your grandfather's name is Liu Tong?"
Liu Ning frowned when she heard this. The deceased did not call her name for her, but the woman in front of her shouted out the name of Old Master Liu without any hesitation, which made Liu Ning very angry.
The woman looks pretty and has a kind of ladylike temperament. She suddenly smiled, said a word and turned around and left.
She said, "You two look so similar!"
Liu Ning was thinking about what the woman said on the way home, and suddenly saw Ma De coming out of his yard. He stepped forward and asked, "Have you lived in a foreigner in the village in the past few years?"
Ma Decai was stunned when he heard this, as if he remembered something. He said, "You should be talking about the painter Lady Lu."
From Ma Decai, he learned from Ma Decai that Lady Lu moved to the village after Liu Ning entered the city as an apprentice. Her husband died of illness and then resigned to his relatives.
Who would have thought that after coming to the village, he found out that his relative had also passed away. When the inner king saw her pitiful, he asked her to stay. Lady Lu is a painter. She lives at home in a quiet place and rarely interacts with the villagers, so the villagers are not familiar with her.
Lady Lu's home lives on the back hillside of the Liu family, and the two families are less than 200 steps apart. Standing in the Lu family courtyard, you can take a look at the Liu family.
Liu Ning came to the door and looked up. Sure enough, he found a touch of blue clothes on the hillside. It must be Miss Lu.
"How come I feel like I'm being followed?" Liu Ning shook his head and waved the thoughts in his mind.
Days passed by, and Ma De sent a bird's-eye view. After making some adjustments, he started to build a new house. Due to rumors in Nanshan, locals were unwilling to take on work. Fortunately, Ma Decai hired people from the county town to work. Although the wages were much higher, the work was started.
Based on the principle of no waste, if the wooden beams in the old house are good, they will be left to continue to use. Despite this, most of the wood is missing. Liu Ning is a timber business that wants to get high-quality wood.
However, Old Man Liu said that he wanted to make the new house have the original flavor. Therefore, Liu Ning decided to go to Nanshan to find wood, but because he was worried that Ma De was afraid of the rumors about Sibusu, he did not inform him in advance.
A few days later, Liu Ning took a few servants to Nanshan. There is a ferry on the east side of Nanshan, which is the only way to enter the mountain.
Liu Ning originally thought that the ferry was abandoned after being disrepaired, but it seemed that people were often using it, which made Liu Ning puzzled. Since no one lives around him, why are there still people using the ferry in Nanshan?
With questions, the group walked along the mountain road, and became more and more frightened as they walked.
Liu Ning found that there were many traces of wheels on the mountain road. The deeper you walked, the wider the mountain road, the wider it would be built, and could accommodate four carriages in parallel. The ridges on both sides were already bare, leaving countless tree stumps.
"Someone cuts trees in the mountains?"
Liu Ning is in the timber business. He knows that the court strictly prohibits deforestation in the mountains, especially for the unowned ridges.
Standing at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, looking, the entire Nanshan Mountain is surrounded by towering trees, which makes it impossible for outsiders to see what is inside.
But you will be shocked when you enter the hinterland of Nanshan. There are only a few trees on the ridge along the road, and you can see a desolate look.
The hinterland of Nanshan is an old forest. Judging from the annual rings, all over the age of over a hundred years have been cut down. The old forest lost the barrier of the trees, revealing its original appearance. The ground was covered with rare grass, and there were outsiders wearing straw raincoats picking it.
Not far from these people were three big men holding steel knives, and Liu Ning and a few servants hid behind and dared not show their heads. Since he knew that there were people here to steal the robbery, it would be troublesome if these people saw it.
So, Liu Ning led his group back the same way. Shortly after they left, a man in black appeared. He whispered to the big man and the three big men bowed and nodded to chase Liu Ning.
Back in the village, Liu Ning asked a few servants to keep their mouths tight and not to tell the things they saw. He is a businessman and knows the truth that it is better to have less than more things.
Liu Ning returned home with bad intentions. His mother, Hu, had already prepared the meal. He ate a few bites and then went back to the house. My daughter Siye pestered him for a while and saw that the moon was already hanging in the air, so she took her daughter to find her mother, Hu.
Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door sounded. Liu Ning was surprised who came to visit in the middle of the night? So he held his daughter and went to open the door.
I saw Chaigu open and stood up at Madam Lu!
Miss Lu said expressionlessly: "Let me enter the house first, I have something to tell you."
Miss Lu walked straight into the lobby regardless of it, which made Liu Ning very angry. A woman suddenly came to the door in the middle of the night. If this matter spreads, wouldn't the Liu family's future reputation be criticized?
At this moment, the daughter holding her arms pointed at Lady Lu and said, "Dad, the aunt who just entered has no shadow."
This sentence made Liu Ning burst into a cold sweat. He looked along the place where his daughter pointed. Sure enough, I found that Miss Lu had no shadow under the moonlight.
Who is she?
Liu Ning walked into the lobby with this question in mind, and he protected his daughter behind him. I saw Madam Lu staring at "The Elk Returns to the Mountain" without turning his eyes.
"Sixty years have passed! Time flies so fast. When I met your grandfather, your father was still a child."
Lady Lu turned her head and her eyes were slightly red. She choked and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. This time I came here to remind you with kindness, you have life worries but don't know it."
Liu Ning was stunned and soon understood where the danger came from! It should be that when I went to Nanshan during the day, I found that the illegal logging incident was discovered.
Miss Lu looked at Liu Ning and admired her very much, "As you think, they are all bad people."
"I have no grievances with these people, why should I kill me all?" Liu Ning continued to ask, "Who are you?"
"I am favored by your grandfather and I am already the deer fairy in Nanshan."Miss Lu sat down in the main seat and told Liu Ning a story.
The elk accidentally came to the foot of Nanshan Mountain and was drinking water in the river because of thirst.
Suddenly, there was a stinging pain from behind. Several soldiers wearing armor accompanied a young master to hunt. They were annoyed that they could not find the mountain product and returned home in disgrace. However, they saw an elk on the shore, so the young master took a bow and shot an arrow.
Several soldiers were afraid of stealing the prince's power and did not attack the elk, which gave the elk a chance to escape. Several people chased after him, and the elk came to the outside of the Liu family courtyard in panic.
Seeing a few people chasing each other, the elk crossed the white wall and fell into the yard, but accidentally scared Mr. Liu's wife. Liu Ning already knows what happened next.
The person who chased the elk was the son of the second servant Zhang Ge Lao. He had already found traces of the Liu family outside the yard. So, he quickly returned to the capital and told his father what he saw.
After the elk was released, the rumors about the four-dimensional figure in Nanshan made the people believe it, so no one cared about Nanshan for a time.
This brings endless benefits to the elk, and it freely feeds in the mountains without being disturbed. I accidentally got a snake fruit in the old forest. It is a rare fruit that has been nurtured for a hundred years in the Nanshan Mountains. For this reason, the elk has a lot of ability to transform.
So, he turned into a human form and was filled with heart. He wanted to go to the foot of the mountain to find Mr. Liu to repay his kindness, but the Liu family had already changed things. Old Master Liu had passed away more than ten years ago. Just when she returned to the mountains in a daze, a group of uninvited guests came to Nanshan.
They are the robbers. Lu Xian knew that his magic power was not enough to stop it, so he could only pretend to be Madam Lu and hide in the village.
"Since you have great magical powers, why can't you deal with mere thieves?" Liu Ning asked.
"The world has misunderstandings about essence and charm. They cannot deal with humans. Once discovered by the way of heaven, they will drop the thunder and let them be punished. No one can bear to practice this hard-earned Taoist practice."
"If that's the case, why do you remind me?" Liu Ning asked.
"Your grandfather was killed because he saved me. The guilt of not saving his benefactor has always been hidden in my heart.
You father and son are in trouble, and I can't sit idly by. The thief is already on the way here, but I have a way to let you escape."
Liu Ning did not dare to neglect his parents immediately and took them to the lobby. He introduced the identity of Lady Lu and stunned the old couple for a long time.
Suddenly, Lady Lu's ears moved, and she said, "The thief is less than 100 meters away from here. You can only survive as I said."
A few people in the house whispered in a low voice, and everyone nodded one after another when they heard this.
After a long time, three big men holding sharp weapons climbed over the wall and took off the door latch. A person suddenly walked into the door, and this person turned out to be Ma Decai!
Ma Decai is familiar with the passage and walks into the yard with a cold look, "Master, don't blame me, you can only blame your son for meddling too much. What are you doing when you run to Nanshan if you have nothing to do?"
Ma Decai is Liu's apprentice. He is deeply trusted by Liu, so he naturally knows that the rumors about the four-way characters in Nanshan are fake. So, he and a few fellow villagers went to the mountains to steal wood to make profits, and he made a lot of money in the past ten years.
Who would have thought that this secret was discovered by Liu Ning. He knew very well that the yamen knew about this matter and he would definitely not be able to escape, so he took the initiative.
"Brother, I searched all over the house but didn't see the Liu family." One of the big men came back and reported.
At this time, Ma De discovered that the paintings that were originally hanging on the wall had disappeared. He knew that this painting was very important to the Liu family. Since the hanging painting disappeared, the people from the Liu family must have escaped.
"Damn it, Liu Ning must have gone to the county town, let's ride a horse and chase after him."
Four people rushed to the intersection and blocked the intersection, but there was no trace of the Liu family father and son along the way. The four of them ambushed in the place where they must pass into the county town, waiting from dawn to noon, at this time, Miss Lu was passing by with a painting on her back.
The man wanted to step forward to stop Lady Lu, but was scolded by Ma Decai. He said, "I was shocked. Can people hide in Lady Lu's paintings?"
An hour later, a team of yamen runners came from the city gate. They saw that they surrounded Ma Decai and the four of them were tied up before they could resist.
The yamen runners escorted him to the lobby regardless of their struggles, and saw Liu Ning standing in the hall. Ma Decai was shocked. Liu Ning exposed Ma Decai's evil deeds in court, and Ma Decai had to plead guilty under the ironclad mountain.
County Grand Master arrested him according to the law. When Ma Decai was taken away, he suddenly asked Liu Ning how he entered the county town? Liu Ning pointed to Lady Lu in the crowd and said, "Because she can hide people in her painting!"
The night before, Lady Lu noticed that Ma Decai was nearby. She said to Liu Ning, "There is only one way now, you can hide in the painting." As soon as the words fell, Lady Lu waved her fingers and the "Moose Return to the Mountain" hanging on the wall was like a door. After the door slowly opened, colorful colors appeared inside.
Liu Ning knew that danger was approaching, so he said to his parents, "I believe that the deer fairy will not harm us." After that, he held his daughter and took the lead into the hanging painting, and Hu supported the old man Liu to follow him.
Miss Lu waved his sleeves again and the door quietly closed. At this moment, there were four more people on the mountain road in the wall painting. It would be difficult to find if you don’t look carefully.
Lady Lu smiled slightly, took off the painting and carried it behind her, and turned away from the back door and ran towards the county town. On the way, Lu Xian told Liu Ning the evil deeds that Ma Decai had done and gave him the evidence collected over the years.
Lady Lu escaped from the inspection of Ma Decai and the other four people and entered the county town to release Liu Ning. Liu Ning took the evidence to the county government to expose Ma Decai. Therefore, the yamen runners captured the four people at the fork.
After the incident, Lu Xian visited again. She took action to heal the old man Liu's injury, and everyone was grateful to her.
Lu Xian said: "I thought I would be punished by heavenly thunder when I helped you, but the way of heaven did not reduce thunder, and my cultivation level increased during this period. I learned from my dream last night that because I did good deeds and accumulated virtues, the way of heaven brought blessings, allowing me to walk in the world for fifty years. During this period, I can live like a human."
The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intent!
Miss Lu's pretty face was slightly red by Liu Ning's eyes. A year later, Liu Ning led Lady Lu in a phoenix crown and robe into the bridal chamber. After marriage, Lady Lu gave birth to a son. The couple did good deeds throughout their lives to help their neighbors, and the whole family was smooth and safe.
(end of the story)
Old Master Liu is a kind man. He fled from the capital to the mountain village. It could have been hiding his identity all the time, but in order to save the elk, he was very kind to release the elk, so he even lied for it. Although he died of illness because of this, his descendants benefited a lot from Mr. Liu's kindness.
Lady Lu is a kind-hearted charm. She gave timely help to remind Liu Ning that there was danger, which allowed the Liu family father and son to escape. Only afterwards did she know her true identity. Her benefactor had died of illness for many years, so she didn't have to risk the thunder disaster to help. But she helped without hesitation and finally got blessings and lived happily with Liu Ning.
Old Man Liu is a honest man, which can be seen from the fact that he can't bear to collect money from the villagers. People often say that when giving a rose, there is fragrance on your hands. If you treat others sincerely, you will eventually receive other people's kindness.
Liu Ning was inferior when he was young and blamed the old man Liu for his fault. That was because he was young and ignorant. When he grew up, Liu Ning did not lose the simple character he learned from his father. Although Liu Siye is not his biological daughter, she is willing to marry and have children in order to take care of her. A good person like
will definitely be rewarded. Afterwards, he and Niangzi Lu married and lived a happy life.
Ma Decai hid deeply and failed the trust of Old Man Liu.Theft of firing makes huge profits, and finally blinded by money, he actually becomes evil from the side of his courage. In the end, good and evil are punished. It is really a big heart.
From the experience of the Liu family's grandparents and grandchildren, "God will bless you to do good deeds and accumulate virtues", which also further shows that "those who love others will always love them; those who respect others will always respect them."
Although there are many unfair things in the world, it seems that good people will not be rewarded, but bad people will not end up being punished sooner or later.
