There is a young man named Zhang Ping in Luzhou, Anhui Province. He has never liked to read since he was a child. He liked to dance with swords, stabbing guns and using sticks, and also worshipped several masters.
A few years later, Zhang Ping learned martial arts and began to explore the world. Because he is very skilled in martial arts, has great strength, and is always chivalrous. Even if he meets an opponent who is stronger than him, he can defeat the opponent with the sword in his palm and his wisdom. Therefore, after seeing injustice several times and drawing his sword to help him, he became famous.
Because he likes to wrap a red scarf on his head, people around him jokingly call him a Red scarf hero.
I feel that there are too many unfair things in the world, so Zhang Ping changed his name to Zhang Buping. He said that he must eliminate all the injustice he saw.
One day in July, Zhang Buping went to Lu'an to do business. He was greedy on the road, so he missed Guantou. It was summer, the weather was clear and the moon was bright, so Zhang Buping rode his horse to continue his journey.
Not long after, the sky suddenly became cloudy and rainy, so I couldn't rush to the road. Zhang Buping had to look around and saw a grass house not far from the roadside (pronounced as vinegar, indicating a house), so he went over and lived there temporarily. He tied the horse, speeded up, and came to the house. Seeing that the house was short, he had to bend over and enter.
Soon, the rain stopped and the weather cleared up again. Zhang Buping saw it and prepared to continue his journey.
At this time, he heard a sound from the opposite house, and suddenly a person stuck his head out. She was draped with her hair loose, her arms exposed, holding a bowl in her hand, and drinking the rainwater from the eaves. Obviously, she was thirsty, otherwise she wouldn't have drunk such dirty water. The bowl in her hand seemed to have been picked up, half broken.
By the moonlight, Zhang Buping saw clearly that it was a woman.
The girl didn't notice Zhang Buping and was still receiving water to drink. Zhang Buping has always been brave. He pulled out the sword from his waist and walked over slowly, intending to see what was going on.
The girl saw Zhang Buping and turned to run. Zhang Buping rushed to him, opened her hair and took a look, and then asked loudly: "Are you a human or a ghost? Tell me quickly, so as not to forgive me!"
The girl was frightened and said tremblingly: "It's a human, I'm a human!"
Zhang Buping asked again: "What are you doing here, you are a woman?"
The girl refused to say it, her face was flushed, but she couldn't resist Zhang Buping's constant asking, so she had to tell her story.
It turns out that this beautiful girl is Li Shusheng's concubine. She was originally from . Her mother died when she was born. Her father was a blind man, but she was proficient in astrological divination. The father and daughter depended on each other for their own life.
Li Shusheng originally went to Jinling for the exam. When he passed by Chuzhou, he saw Mei Ji. He was attracted by her beauty at first sight, so he asked someone to make a matchmaker and wanted to marry Mei Ji. Meiji's father was unwilling to do so because Li Shusheng had already married a wife. If Meiji again, he could only be a concubine.
Meiji studied since childhood and also received her father's true teachings, so she can also tell fortunes. She forgot her own life and Li Shusheng's life. After learning that she was a child of a noble family, she took the initiative to tell her father that she was willing to be Li Shusheng's concubine. Li Shusheng was overjoyed and took out a lot of money to Meiji's father, and Meiji's father agreed.
After Li Shusheng finished the exam, he passed by Chuzhou and simply held a wedding with Meiji, and then took her home.
Meiji originally thought she could live a good life. Unexpectedly, after arriving at Li Shusheng's house, his wife could not tolerate her. Although she did not dare to drive her away, she often bullied her, scolded her, beat her, and even abused her. In ancient times, concubines had a low status and had to obey their righteous wife, so beautiful girls lived a hard life.
Do you think this is gone? Wrong, the wife became more and more powerful and bullied Mei Ji.
At first, he just beat and scolded me, but later his wife asked Meiji to do things, and she didn't need maids at home, so she asked Meiji to do it. Meiji has been here for more than a year, and her wife doesn't let Li Shusheng sleep with her. Therefore, Meiji is a concubine in name, but in fact she is not as good as a maid, and she is not as good as a life or death.
Three days ago, Meiji was beaten by her main wife again. Her clothes were torn, her sleeves were torn, her hairpin was gone, and she suffered a lot of injuries all over her body. Li Shusheng, who had always been afraid of his wife, watched helplessly and did not dare to say a word to Meiji!
Meiji has had the idea of seeking death many times, but it is still good for her to tell her fortune, so she always holds hope. This time, she told her fortune again, and said in the inscription: "The spring is bright and the spring is bright, and we will meet relatives on the strange road." The eggs are broken and the old is renewed.
Mei Ji looked at these sixteen words and roughly knew that she seemed to have a chance, so she was not dead. However, the oracle said that she would meet relatives. She had no relatives except her father, which made her unable to understand. But no matter what, she still stayed and survived.
The next day, Meiji was up early, and she served her wife as usual to get up and put on makeup. However, she accidentally touched her wife's jade hairpin to the ground and broke it.
The wife was furious and said, "This jade hairpin is the dowry given to me by my parents. I will be lucky and in trouble for my life. You deliberately broke the jade hairpin, which is obviously a curse of me to pieces. Come on, bring a stick."
Meiji was so scared that she knelt down. The wife was not ruthless, took the stick, stripped her clothes, and then hit her twenty times with a stick as thick as a finger. Meiji fainted several times in pain, and her jade back was covered with wounds and blood. The wife was afraid of beating her to death, so she didn't dare to beat her again, so she warned Meiji: "In one day, you must buy another one for me, otherwise I will continue to beat you!"
Meiji has no money, and Li Shusheng dared not give it to her even if she has money. At this moment, she really couldn't stand it, so she ran out. When I saw that there was a house here, I hid here. Because I was too thirsty, I picked up a broken bowl to collect water and drink it.
, but I didn’t expect Meiji to meet Zhang Buping.
Zhang Buping was very angry when he heard about this, but it was someone else's family matter and he seemed to be hard to deal with, let alone just a side word from Mei Ji. Although he is chivalrous, he is not a reckless man. So, he advised Meiji to go home, it was not a big deal outside.
Meiji cried again when she heard this and said, "I am worried every day, and I am humiliated and beaten. I really don't want to go back. If there is no way out, I would like to die!" After
, Meiji stretched out her arm, with scars on it, some of which were still covered with blood, which was obviously a new injury. She even showed Zhang Buping the back, which had many blood strips on it, and several wounds were still bleeding.
This time, Zhang Buping could no longer bear it. He was filled with righteous indignation and expressed his desire to avenge Mei Ji.
, how to take revenge? Zhang Buping thought about it and became brother and sister with Meiji, so that he could take care of Meiji's affairs. Then he told Meiji about his plan and gave Meiji the dry food and water bag on his body, asking her to live in the thatched hut for a few more days, and someone would naturally come to pick her up at that time.
After dawn, Zhang Buping rode a horse and found Li Shusheng's house as Meiji said.
After Li Shusheng saw him, he didn't know who he was. Zhang Buping said loudly: "I am here to visit my sister by my father's order. Call her out to see me."
When Li Shusheng and his wife heard this, they were both angry when they saw Zhang Buping rudely. They had never heard of Meiji having an older brother, and they thought he was here to cheat money!
Zhang Buping asked several times, but Li Shusheng ignored him and threatened to find someone to arrest him.
Zhang Buping was furious, pulled out the sword from his waist, waved it gently, and a big tree in the yard was instantly cut into two pieces. Immediately, he pointed at Li Shusheng and his wife and said, "Why don't you let my sister come out to see me? Did you kill my sister? If you don't let her come out to see me again, your fate will be the same as this tree!"
Because Li Shusheng's wife often bullies Mei Ji, the neighbors are all angry, but after all, it's someone else's business and it's hard to deal with, so they have no choice.
This time, Zhang Buping came and the neighbors all surrounded him to come and see him. While they looked, they also said that some people could not even wait, so they told Zhang Buping not to be polite and taught the couple a lesson, saying that they often bully their concubines.
Zhang Buping was even more angry when he heard the neighbors. He waved the sword a few times, then pointed at Li Shusheng and his wife and said, "If I can't see my sister, I will destroy your home first and then sue you at the government!" At this time, he was indeed extremely angry. After saying that, he inserted the sword into the sheath and punched the wall, and there was a big hole in the wall instantly!
Li Shusheng and his wife were shocked, and the onlookers were also stunned!
Next, Li Shusheng and his wife quickly comforted Zhang Buping with kind words, and asked the neighbors to speak nice things on their behalf, and then sent people to find Meiji everywhere. Fortunately, the house was not far away and the servants were found soon.
The servant was respectful and asked Meiji to go back. Meiji was afraid and dared not go back. The servant said that her brother was here and was very angry. He must see her. Meiji pretended not to know and asked, "Is what you said true? My brother is here, then okay, I will go back with you."
After Meiji came back, they looked at each other, pretended to be happy, and said parting words, hugging each other, crying bitterly, looking like real brothers and sisters. When Zhang Buping saw Meiji like this, he pretended to be angry and wanted to beat Li Shusheng and his wife.
When the neighbors saw it, they all came over to comfort and comfort them. After seeing this, Li Shusheng believed that they were brothers and sisters even more.
Since my brother-in-law has come, Shusheng Li dared not neglect, so he apologized immediately, arranged food and food, and treated Zhang Buping. He was very respectful to him. Di Meiji has also changed and was very polite.
That's it. Zhang Buping stayed at Li Shusheng's house for three days. Li Shusheng arranged wine and food to entertain him every day.
Before leaving, Li Shusheng gave Zhang Buping money, and Zhang Buping was not polite. He was chivalrous and needed money, so he took the money.
In front of the neighbors, he said to Li Shusheng and his wife: "I joined the army at the age of fifteen. My sister lives with my father. She is very simple. It is her life to marry Li Shusheng as a concubine. We can't say it. But when I went home that day, my father asked me to see her. I never expected that my sister would be tortured here! Who has no relatives, who has no flesh and blood? Who can be willing to be so tortured by relatives? In front of everyone today, I agreed with them that they must treat my sister kindly in the future. If they dare to bully my sister again, I will definitely repay ten times! That's all, don't think that martial artists are reckless and can bully them. At worst, blood will be splashed with blood."
After hearing this, the neighbors nodded and said yes. Li Shusheng and his wife also quickly apologized, saying that they will never do this again. Li Shusheng also asked him to go back and greet his father-in-law on his behalf.
After Zhang Buping left, his wife did not dare to bully Meiji anymore. Li Shusheng finally dared to talk to Meiji and bed with her, and even dared to scold his wife.
Zhang Buping really went to Meiji's house and told the story. Meiji's father thanked him and from then on, he interacted with him. The two of them became relatives. Because Zhang Buping recognized his father as his adoptive father, he really became Meiji's brother.
A year later, the wife didn't know what was going on and died for no reason. After her death, Li Shusheng discovered that there were many stripes on her body. If you count carefully, there were as many as ninety-nine. Li Shusheng was puzzled because his wife had no before, and he didn't take it seriously anyway after he died.
He didn't know that this was the punishment his wife was given. She hit Meiji ninety-nine times, so she had ninety-nine stripes on her body. Every time she bullies Meiji, she has a stripe on her body. By the time she is ninety-nine, her life span is almost over.
After his wife died, Li Shusheng straightened Mei Ji and let her become her wife.
The day when she became the wife, Meiji finally understood when she thought of her fortune-telling inscriptions before.
The so-called "solid ice spring" means that after the cold is extremely cold, the weather begins to warm up. This means that her life will get better when it reaches the lowest point, which means whether it is a great success. The so-called "meeting relatives on the road" means that she accidentally met Zhang Buping, and the two became brothers and sisters; the wife is a stone; the beautiful girl is equivalent to an egg. Although the egg cannot beat the stone, she persists until the end. The deceased Ji Cun means that Mei Ji replaces her wife.
It seems that Mei Ji is completely good at her, she is indeed amazing!
Of course, Li Shusheng loved Meiji, so the two of them later lived a good life. Meiji was planning fortune-telling and calculated the day when she first made the fortune, so she was willing to marry her.
