The story takes place in the Ming Dynasty. There was an old man in Tianbao Village, known as Old Man Liu. A kind-hearted person means poorness. The neighbors often help him. Two years ago, Widow Li next door gave him two chickens. Over time, leaning on a group of chickens, Old Man Liu did not worry about food and clothing.
For this reason, Old Man Liu did not take eggs to thank Widow Li, but she didn't want eggs, but people. Because Widow Li looks so ordinary, Old Man Liu always pretends to be confused. Until I met a beautiful wife, she broke off the relationship with Widow Li completely. I thought I could live a good life with my wife in the future, but I couldn't think that it would almost lead to murder. What happened?
Let’s say that on this day, Old Man Liu drove a group of chickens to the ground. When he went home, he saw that there was one less, and it was the largest and fattest. Old Man Liu almost cried out of distress and cursed the chicken thief in his heart. The next day, Old Man Liu put the chickens again, and came back to count but one less. Now Old Man Liu was anxious and said he wanted to catch the chicken thief.
Waiting until the third day, Old Man Liu placed the chickens while observing in secret. Seeing the sun set, the chicken thief appeared, and he was crawling on the grass. The chicken thief was squatting on the flock of chickens. Waiting for an opportunity nearby, Old Man Liu didn't say a word, took a shoulder pole and shaved it on the back of the thief. The thief was staggered and hurriedly covered his face. Old man Liu was unwilling to forgive, and while beating, he pulled the thief's hand and cursed: "Let you steal the chicken, I want to see what the thief looks like." After speaking, he pulled down the thief's hand, and saw that she was a date. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, a pretty and charming little girl, Old Man Liu looked attentively and froze on the spot.
Without waiting for the reaction, the woman squatted on the ground and cried "Wow". Old man Liu was at a loss and hurriedly helped her up and asked what was going on. The woman said that she had fled from a foreign country, and she was so hungry that she happened to watch Old Man Liu let go of the chickens, and her thoughts were crooked. Seeing the woman crying with rain, Old Man Liu moved the woman home with compassion.
After arriving home, Liu Laohan deliberately killed a chicken and stewed it for the woman. She was not welcome, and ate the whole chicken in one go, with no chicken bones left. The woman thanked Old Man Liu in gratitude. After talking, she learned that the girl's name was Hongxue. When she asked her where to go from now on? Hongxue lowered her head and sobbed softly. Old man Liu seemed determined to hold Hongxue's hand and said, "If you don't dislike it, let me take care of you in the future." Hongxue opened her eyes wide and looked at Old Man Liu in disbelief.Immediately plunged into his arms...
From that day on, the two worshipped the world in a low-key manner. Soon everyone in the village knew that Old Man Liu had married a beautiful wife and blessed him. Only Widow Li was cold. Staring at Hongxue, she told Old Man Liu that Hongxue was not a good person. At first, the old man didn’t care, but Widow Li got worse. She also spilled dirty water on Hongxue’s body several times. Old man Liu was really anxious, regardless of his old kindness. Jumping and scolding Widow Li.
Seeing Old Man Liu was like this, Widow Li was extremely sad and depressed all day long. But Hongxue was very happy. Apart from loving Liu Laohan, she would beg him to kill chickens for herself every day. Old Bachelor Liu, who had been a bachelor for many years, was naturally willing to get up and kill chickens just as soon as she was overwhelmed. Sometimes one was not enough to kill. Two. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer chickens in the circle, Old Man Liu whispered in his heart, thinking that Hongxue was so thin and weak that a gust of wind could blow it down, so why did he have such a big appetite?
One morning, Old Man Liu went to the circle to take a look. Yesterday there were 30 chickens, but today there are only 25 chickens left. Just as Old Man Liu was puzzled, a big cock in the circle vomited. Said: "After eating me, your beautiful wife should eat you." As soon as the chicken said, he frightened Old Man Liu, and just wanted to run out, the remaining twenty-five chickens surrounded him at the door. The big cock said: "You raised us from childhood to adulthood. It is right to be eaten and killed, but we don’t want to wait for you to be eaten by a goblin and still be in the dark. We wrongly blame people who are really nice to you. If you don’t believe it, today Come to see in the circle later on the second night.”
Old man Liu was dubious, so he still killed the chicken and gave it to Hong Xue. That night, Old Man Liu pretended to sleep, and waited until the second night to get up and see that Hong Xue was not by his side. He went out quietly, and heard movement from the chicken coop from a distance. He leaned over to see that he was scared to death. Hong Xue was squatting in the chicken coop and gulping the chicken, eating it alive. Old man Liu crawled into the house tremblingly, and continued to pretend to sleep.
As soon as the next day dawned, Old Man Liu ran out of the house with the excuse of a cigarette, hurriedly knocked on Widow Li’s door, dragged her out two miles before daring to stop, and then told what happened last night. Widow Li thought she would be surprised when she heard it, but she didn't expect her to be surprisingly calm and confident.
Old Man Liu asked her incomprehensibly what was going on,Widow Li explained that on the day Hongxue came, she felt that something was wrong with her, but Old Man Liu was fascinated by the beauty and didn’t listen to Widow Li’s words at all. Sometimes people had to hit the south wall before turning their heads, so she had been to the village a long time ago. Dao Wuchen helps, how can the chicken talk? It was the Taoist master who made the spell.
Hearing this, Old Man Liu felt a little relieved. He asked where is the leader now? Widow Li pointed to the direction of the house, and asserted: "Presumably the fairy has been subdued, let's go home and have a look." When she arrived home, it turned out that the clean Taoist was standing at the door of Old Han Liu's house, and she was lying in the courtyard. With a huge weasel, seeing the two come back, the Taoist Wuchen nodded and said that this was the fairy from Old Han Liu's house.
Old Man Liu shrank his neck in fright, regretting not listening to good people. Before the Taoist left, he also asked Old Man Liu that although some people were beautiful, they were not at ease. Some people? People are not beautiful and nice, which is intended to make Old Man Liu cherish the people in front of him. He glanced at Widow Li, his face flushed unconsciously.
After that, Old Man Liu and Widow Li came together graciously, and they did not die until they were 80 years old.
