A young man named Yin Zongzhi lived in the mountains for study in the summer. Every time the moon is bright and the wind is clear, he will play the piano and sing to cultivate his sentiment.
One night, Yin Zongzhi was playing the piano when he suddenly heard gentle footsteps in the yard. As if a girl was walking, he asked outside: "Who is outside?"
A slightly shy voice replied: "The little woman was originally the daughter of the Wang family at the foot of the mountain. She was not far from where the husband lived. Whenever she heard the husband playing, she would hold her breath and concentrate, listen carefully, and taste the taste. It was just because her parents were very sensitive, Wu Dare to get too close. Tonight, my relatives' family happened to have a happy event. My parents went out to the banquet, leaving only the little girl at home. I just listened to the sound of the Langjun's piano and wanted to get closer, but I didn't expect that the Langjun was discovered.
Yin Zongzhi heard this and smiled and said to the outside: "The two families live close together. It is common for each other to see each other. Since we are here to listen to the piano, why not come in and listen?" After waiting for a while, he could not see the answer. Yin Zongzhi opened the door to invite the girl. The girl saluted him respectfully, but did not enter. Zongzhi invited her again and again, and then sat down with him. Zongzhi looked at the girl carefully and found that the girl was graceful and elegant in manners. But for example, her ears were a little dark.
The days in the mountains were very lonely. Today, there was a beautiful girl around her. Yin Zongzhi was very happy to order her servants to bring her hot tea and snacks to her, and she worked hard to play the piano to her. Listen. The mountains and forests are quiet after night, with the sound of the piano melodiously. The girl closed her eyes and listened. Seeing that the girl liked it, Yin Zongzhi took the opportunity to invite the girl to stay for one night.
The girl said, "What if my parents come back?" Zongzhi replied, "Since I'm going to attend the wedding banquet, I will definitely not come back in the middle of the night. When it's almost dawn, I will send the girl back. Even if your parents come back, I will not notice it. "The girl agreed with a smile. Yin Zongzhi took the girl's hand, said something like swearing to life and death, and took the girl to the room.
After the spring night, it was getting brighter. The girl put on her clothes and was about to go home, but Yin Zongzhi was worried that the girl would never come back again after leaving, and wanted to leave something as a token. Seeing that there were blue and white felt shoes worn by the girl under the bed, she secretly picked up one and locked it in the cabinet.
The girl cried and said, "The little girl's family is poor, and she has no other shoes to wear. Only this pair can be worn and walked. If the husband stayed, I could only go back barefoot. If my parents ask me, how should I answer? It is not a big deal for my parents to punish me, but it will be difficult to meet again in the future!" Yin Zongzhi refused to listen at all. The girl was very anxious and said, "The little girl's parents are extremely strict. If they know about us, my life will be gone! Could it be that the husband wants to watch me die? If the husband really wants to do something about me, then I can sneak out to meet you after my parents go to bed, but if the husband insists on not returning the shoes to the young woman, it is tantamount to killing me with his own hands! Did you forget the love you said last night so quickly? Did you forget the oath you made by your husband personally?”
Then, she knelt down on the ground and begged, “Please return the shoes to me! If I break my promise and don’t come back again, let you spread this matter!” From the fifth update until dawn, the girl’s crying never stopped, but the more she begged, the more suspicious Yin Zongzhi became, and she refused to return the shoes to the girl.
It was about to dawn, and the girl didn’t dare to stay there, so she had to cry and said to Yin Zongzhi: “The little girl really owed her husband in her previous life, so she would give her life to you! The husband’s intentions were vicious and he should be punished by heaven. Even if the husband works hard to study and make a name for himself, he will never achieve anything in the end!" After saying that, he wiped his tears and turned away.
Yin Zongzhi was not concerned at all, and lay back on the bed and fell asleep again. He woke up after the sun was noon. Suddenly, he smelled a fishy smell and stood up to find the source. He found that there was a bloody stain on the ground and went out of the door. Yin Zongzhi opened the cabinet and found that the girl's shoes had turned into a pig's trotter shell. He suddenly realized and asked the person to search along the blood stain. Finally, in a family at the foot of the mountain, Yin Zongzhi found the sow with a hoof shell missing.When the pig saw Yin Zongzhi, he glared at him angrily, turned around and left, while Yin Zongzhi found the owner of the family and asked the other party to shoot the sow to death with an arrow.
Later, Yin Zongzhi realized that he had practiced well in the mountains, so he went down the mountain to seek fame and fame, but no matter how rich he had and had a reputation, he never achieved any success.
