During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a salesman named Wu in Luoyang. He was over forty and had not yet married a wife and had no children. One time when he was out delivering goods, he accidentally picked up an abandoned baby and took him home to raise, naming him Wu Dasong.
Merchant Wu is not a kind person. Whenever he has money, he likes to go to romantic places to have fun. Influenced by his eyes and ears, Wu Dasong was also greedy for beauty. As he grew up, he began to lose control of Wu Merchant. He often stole his money and went out to live and drink.
One day, Wu Dasong took advantage of Wu Merchant's absence and sneaked into the house to steal money. Unexpectedly, Wu Merchant was hiding behind the door with a stick. When he was turning over the money, he hit him with a stick. Wu Dasong was young and had quick reactions. After ducking away, he discovered that the person who attacked him was actually Wu Merchant, and he immediately became furious. He pushed him hard with his backhand, but Wu was unlucky. His head hit the corner of the table and died immediately.
When Wu Dasong saw this, he said coldly: "It just saves me the money." After that, he poured a lot of wine into Wu's mouth, making him look like he was drunk and accidentally knocked down. Who would have thought, he really fooled him. .
In order to make ends meet, Wu Dasong replaced Wu Merchant and delivered goods everywhere. Since there were few vendors nearby, many were looking for Wu Dasong to deliver goods. He also made a lot of money, but within two years, retribution came to his door.
On this day, Wu Dasong went to a certain village to deliver goods. Although it was not far away, he had to climb a mountain. Perhaps because of drinking the night before, when he was climbing the mountain, he accidentally kicked off and fell. Nothing happened to the person afterwards, but his face was scratched numerous times by branches, and his appearance was completely disfigured.
Looking at the unrecognizable face, Wu Dasong was heartbroken, thinking that he relied on this face for pleasure, what should he do in the future? Sure enough, no matter how much money Wu Dasong paid him, the prostitute would no longer want to deal with him. What's even worse is that there are even fewer people looking for him to work.
Not long after, all his savings were spent. Seeing that he had no source of income, he simply broke down and cheated all day long. Seeing how pitiful he was, the neighbors turned a blind eye.
Gradually, Wu Dasong became more and more bold. Once he went to the house of the widow Wang in the west of the city to steal things. When he saw her sleeping, he became lustful and misbehaved with her. Fortunately, Widow Wang was alert and immediately called for help, attracting neighbors. When everyone saw this, they couldn't bear it anymore and beat him up.
Afterwards, Wu Dasong became a street rat. He was looked down upon all day long and could not even eat enough. Sometimes I was so hungry that I even robbed beggars on the roadside of their meals. His life should not be cut off, and not long after the hard days, luck came again.
On this day, a young couple moved next door to Wu Dasong's house. The male owner saw that the door of their house was wide open, so he entered the house to say hello. He claimed that Fang Jingyun was a doctor and brought his wife to settle here. After saying this, he waved to his wife Anru outside the door. Immediately afterwards, a young woman walked in from outside the door. Her appearance was one of a kind. Wu Dasong was fascinated at first sight, thinking that the fairies in the sky were nothing more than that.
Wu Dasong came back to his senses and said generously: "We will be good neighbors from now on. If you have any problems, just call me." Fang Jingyun nodded with a smile and pulled his wife back to the house. Wu Dasong was still looking at Anru in trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
Maybe it was because Wu Dasong was out picking up garbage all day long and was pitiful. The couple said that if he didn’t dislike it, they could come over to their house for dinner. Although the family was not rich, they didn’t mind having an extra pair of chopsticks. Wu Dasong was moved to tears. From then on, he shamelessly went to Fang Jingyun's house for dinner every day.
At first, he was quite reserved. Every day the couple cleaned up the dishes, picked the vegetables and washed them. Gradually, his true nature was revealed. He came here to eat and drink without any work, and he regarded this place as his own home. The couple repeatedly reminded them, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Let’s talk about this day, Wu Dasong came to Fang Jingyun’s house for a drink, and he actually pulled Anru’s hand with the strength of the wine. Fang Jingyun could not tolerate his wife being humiliated. He rushed over to stop her, but was beaten violently by him. After this incident, the two families completely severed contact with each other.
Half a month passed by. On this day, bursts of crying came from the Fang family. Wu Dasong ran back and saw that there were many people inside and outside the Fang family. In the middle of the yard, Anru was holding her husband's body and crying. It turned out that when Fang Jingyun went up the mountain to collect medicine in the morning, he accidentally fell off the cliff and died.
Onlookers urged Anru to mourn and surrender. Wu Dasong also squeezed through the crowd and came to her to comfort her softly. When Anru saw this, she threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly, regardless of the difference between men and women. Naturally, no one thought much about this situation at the moment. Only Wu Dasong felt secretly happy and took the opportunity to secretly take advantage of it several times.
On the day of Fang Jingyun's burial, Wu Dasong took the initiative to come over to help. He intentionally or unintentionally approached Anru to take advantage. Seeing that she didn't pay attention, he couldn't help but become bold.
That night, Wu Dasong lay in bed and couldn't sleep. He smelled the lingering fragrance in his hands carefully, and his mind was full of the beautiful images of Anjou. He thought to himself: "During the day, she didn't even react when I went too far. She must be afraid of me, so why not..." After that, he chuckled.
Later, Wu Dasong sneaked into Fang Jingyun's house secretly, intending to take advantage of it. Seeing that the lights in the room were still on and Anru was sobbing softly, he rolled his eyes and thought about it.
Wu Dasong walked into the house and imitated Fang Jingyun's voice: "Wife, I'm back."
Anru looked at the voice and said warily: "Why did you come to my house in the middle of the night?"
Wu Dasong said with a sad face. : "Wife, I am Jingyun, and I came here to see you specially as my eldest brother. Alas, I regret not being able to have a son and a half with you. I might as well take this opportunity to keep a heir." After that, he pulled her away. Passed Anjou.
Unexpectedly, Anru smiled instead of being angry, and said in a man's voice: "Okay, brother, who do you think I am?" Then, a ray of soul slowly floated out of her body, and it was the dead Fang Jingyun.
When Wu Dasong saw this, he was so frightened that he ran away, but was thrown to the ground by Fang Jingyun. At this time, Anru smiled and said: "Brother, it's unreasonable to leave without paying off the debt."
It turned out that Wu Dasong followed Fang Jingyun on the day he died, pushed him off the cliff when he was not prepared, and then disguised it as an accident. look. Who would have thought that this time it would be as successful as the killing of Wu Merchant, and the Yamen did not pursue the matter.
But Fang Jingyun was unwilling to give up, so he told his wife the truth in a dream that night. At this time, Anru suddenly remembered that Wu Dasong had been taken advantage of during the day, so the couple planned to take advantage of this and lure him to their home for revenge. Immediately afterwards, Anru deliberately let Wu Dasong take advantage. As expected, he was dazzled by the beauty and was caught by the couple.
After learning the truth, Wu Dasong knelt down and begged for mercy, hoping that his wife could spare his life. Fang Jingyun said angrily: "Humph, you shameless thing, come down and accompany me." As soon as he finished speaking, he hit Wu Dasong's Tianling Cap with a palm, shaking him twice and dying.
The next day, Wu Dasong's body was randomly dumped on the street corner. Everyone threw him directly into a mass grave and buried him hastily. Anru moved away overnight, and no one knew where she went.
