During the period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a poor scholar named Zhong Zhiqing in Yingtian Mansion. He was an upright man, but because of his poor family, he had not married and had children when he was over thirty, and his path to the scientific examination was also very difficult. Zhong Zhiqing took part in the scientific examination several times, but his name was never included in the gold medal list. Zhong Zhiqing could not help but feel a little discouraged and disappointed.

After Zhong Zhiqing failed the exam again, he felt depressed, so he went to a tavern in the town to buy wine to relieve his sorrow. He drank until midnight before staggering home. Unexpectedly, he walked to the house of the widow Liu at the back of the village. In front of the door, I found a sneaky man in black, leaning on the door, peeking into Liu's house through the crack in the door.

Zhong Zhiqing couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene. Mrs. Liu was a young and beautiful woman, but she also had a hard life. When she was eighteen years old, she was sold by her parents to a wealthy family in the village to give to that family's seriously ill son. It was a happy wedding, but unexpectedly, the groom died on the wedding night, and Mrs. Liu became a widow.

The groom was seriously ill and there was no cure, but his parents-in-law blamed all the mistakes on Ms. Liu, called her a coward, and kicked her out of the house. Liu's biological parents also disliked her bad luck and were unwilling to take her in. Liu had nowhere to go and had to live a hard life in two abandoned thatched houses at the back of the village.

Ms. Liu was born beautiful, but men with ill intentions often came to pester her. Zhong Zhiqing’s home was right in front of Ms. Liu’s house. Whenever he saw a man pestering Ms. Liu, he would always come forward to help Ms. Liu. Get rid of those people.

Zhong Zhiqing saw the man in black lying at the door of Liu's house and looked into the house. He thought that this man was also attracted by Liu's beauty and intended to do evil to Liu, so he asked the man in black sternly: "Who are you? Why are you here? Are you sneaking around at other people's houses?"

Zhong Zhiqing reached out to grab the man in black, but unexpectedly, the man in black suddenly changed into a puff of smoke and disappeared.

Zhong Zhiqing saw the man in black turn into smoke and disappear in front of his eyes. He was so frightened that he was mostly drunk. He knew that he had encountered a ghost and was about to turn away when he saw the man in black appear at the door of Liu's house again. Seeing him standing upright at the door of Liu's house, glaring at Zhong Zhiqing fiercely.

This time, Zhong Zhiqing saw the face of the man in black clearly. He was as pale as paper, spitting out a long tongue, and holding a white lantern in his hand. The white lantern actually shone with a strange blue light. Zhong Zhiqing saw the ghost badge waist tag on the waist of the man in black, and then realized that the man in black was not an ordinary kid, but a ghost from the underworld.

When Zhong Zhiqing was very young, he heard the old people in the village say that someone would die if a ghost appeared at the door of his house. She was the only one in the Liu family. Could it be that something had happened to the Liu family and that the ghost was trying to trick her? Take away her soul?

Zhong Zhiqing heard that the white lantern in the ghost's hand was a soul-inducing lamp. As long as the soul-inducing lamp was blown out, the ghost would not be able to see the ghost's location clearly and he would not be able to take away the soul of the deceased. When Zhong Zhiqing thought of this, he didn't care about being afraid. He rushed forward with saliva in his mouth and blew out the white lantern in Gui Cha's hand.

After Zhong Zhiqing blew out the soul-inducing lamp, he kicked open the door and broke into Liu's house. Only to find that Liu was hanging herself from a beam. Her head had been hung on the rope and her feet were kicking in the air.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Zhiqing hurriedly put down the rope on the beam and rescued Liu. When Gui Cha saw Zhong Zhiqing saving Liu, he didn't dare to do anything to a living person, so he could only turn around and leave.

After Ms. Liu was rescued by Zhong Zhiqing, she cried and said that Zhong Zhiqing should not have saved her. It turned out that since Ms. Liu was kicked out by her husband's family, people called her a scumbag, and men often harassed her. She could not live a normal life at all. , even though Mrs. Liu lives in seclusion, people's ill will towards her has never diminished.

"My life is worse than death!" Ms. Liu cried and said, "Why do you want to save me? You might as well let me die!"

Zhong Zhiqing heard Liu's words and patiently persuaded her: "I I have failed in the scientific examination for many years, and I have had this thought, but there will be many sufferings in human life. If we die like this, we will only benefit those who see our jokes. The biggest revenge on them is Overcome these hardships and live your best life! "

Zhong Zhiqing persuaded Liu for a while, and then took the opportunity to express his feelings to her. It turned out that Zhong Zhiqing had been in love with Liu for a long time, so when Liu was in trouble, Zhong Zhiqing would Repeatedly stepped up. Zhong Zhiqing solemnly said to Liu, "If you don't dislike me for being a poor scholar with no fame, I am willing to marry you and treat you with respect!"

Zhong Zhiqing helped Liu many times, and Liu had already fallen in love with him. , so the two became husband and wife. Not long after the two got married, Zhong Zhiqing passed the examination and became an official. They also had children and lived a happy life. The rumors about Liu Shi Kefu were self-defeating. With Zhong Zhiqing protecting him, No one dared to despise her again.
