Xunyang County It rained heavily for several days in a row, and Song Yuan in Songjia Village has not gone out for several days. That evening, he was sitting at the window and staring at the rain in the yard in a daze, thinking that no matter how hard the rain is, people should be moldy.
Song Yuan was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the sound of the door being photographed, "It's dark, it's raining so heavily again, who would come to my house?" Song Yuan said to himself, picking up the umbrella next to him and walking into the yard.
Song Yuan opened the door and a pale woman said anxiously: "Brother, I am Huang Sanniang, the new neighbor, who has moved in. It has been raining continuously these days. Water has been in my house. There is no man at home. Can you come and help?"
Song Yuan heard that his neighbor's house was in trouble, and he was very enthusiastic, so he didn't care about thinking too much. He said to the woman, "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
The two of them walked in the deep rain, one foot shallow and one foot. Song Yuan saw a new house at the corner of the mountain. The terrain of the house is relatively low, and there is a lot of water in the valley, so it is normal for the house to enter water.
Song Yuan looked at it and was a little confused. When did a house be built so close to home? But when it rained harder and heavier, he saw that there was more and more water in the house, he had no time to think about it, so he had to go to work first.
He quickly picked up the basin and scooped water out, but scooping water like this is not a solution. As long as it was still raining in the sky, the water would keep pouring it in. Song Yuan did farm work. He circled around the house and observed the situation before he realized that the reason why the water in the house was that there were no drainage ditches around.
So he braved the heavy rain and picked up his hoe and dug a ditch around the house. After he dug it, he went to scoop the water in the house and it would be much smoother. The rain would not flow back into the house. But when he finished all this, it was already deep.
He was about to go home, when Huang Sanniang walked over and said, "Brother, thank you for your hard work. Your clothes are soaked. Change the clothes down and I will wash them for you."
"No, no, I will go back in a while. Besides, you are a woman at home alone, and we are alone and widowed. Taking off your clothes in front of you will attract gossip for you." Song Yuan has never been alone with a woman, let alone taking off his clothes.
Huang Sanniang smiled and said, "I'm not afraid. What's the point of being scared? Besides, we didn't do anything wrong. We are not afraid of being crooked. Why are we afraid of others saying it? Don't be stubborn. Wearing wet clothes will get sick."
Song Yuan was still hesitating, and Huang Sanniang had to continue saying, "Brother helped me so much today. I have prepared some small wine and side dishes. You go over and eat and drink some. I will wash the clothes and get dry soon."
Huang Sanniang finished speaking, handed over a set of clothes and pushed Song Yuan to the house inside. Looking at the brand new clothes, it was difficult for Song Yuan to reject Huang Sanniang's kindness, so he changed the clothes.
Huang Sanniang took the wet clothes and put them in the basin. She took Song Yuan to the table and said to him, "Brother, you eat first, I'll wash the clothes and come to accompany you."
Song Yuan had been doing most of the physical work. He was really hungry at this time, so he picked up the chopsticks and chatted with Huang Sanniang while eating and drinking.
I learned that Huang Sanniang was also a miserable woman. When she was fifteen years old, her parents sold her to a family for a happy life, but as soon as she got married, the man died on the wedding night.
But the mother-in-law spent money and her parents were unwilling to return the money to them. There was no way Huang Sanniang could only stay in her mother-in-law's house. But her neighbor was a bully. Seeing that Huang Sanniang was petite and pretty, she became ill-hearted and took advantage of the night to climb into Huang Sanniang's room and defiled her.
At that time, Huang Sanniang was still young, and the bully threatened her not to tell her, otherwise she would kill their whole family. Huang Sanniang was timid and afraid of things and dared not say anything at all. Seeing that she really didn't dare to make things happen, the bully often harassed her and occupied Huang Sanniang for a long time.
At this time, Huang Sanniang had already dried her clothes. She sat opposite Song Yuan and said to him with a smile: "Maybe you don't know me, but I remember you. My husband passed away three years ago, and his parents were unwilling to redeem me with money. The bully occupied me and threatened me. At that time, I was disheartened and went to the lake. You rescued me and told me to live well."
Song Yuan thought for a long time before he remembered going to the town to go to the market three years ago. When he came back, he saw a woman seeking a short opinion. He saved the woman and persuaded her for a long time. Finally, he watched her leave and returned home after confirming that she was safe.
"I didn't expect it was you, so why did you move here?" Song Yuan said.
"This is a long story, let's talk about it later. It's late tonight and it's still raining outside. Brother, just stay at my house for one night."
"That won't work. It's already very disturbing to stay at your house until so late. How can you stay at your house?" Song Yuan stood up immediately and wanted to walk out.
But he couldn't open the door after he had been pulling for a long time. He looked at Huang Sanniang with a suspicion, but Huang Sanniang ignored him and went to sleep in the inner room.
Since Huang Sanniang has already fallen asleep, Song Yuan is not able to disturb him anymore, so he sat on the chair in the outside room and kept waiting all night. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep in a daze, but suddenly felt a chill.
He opened his eyes and saw that he was actually lying in the wilderness. The rain stopped, but there was neither Huang Sanniang nor a new house here. He wanted to stand up and see what happened, but found that several leaves on his body fell to the ground, and he was not wearing any clothes.
Song Yuan was confused. Is everything that happened last night true or false? Is it a dream? Then why am I in the wild? And he hasn't been dressed yet.
Song Yuan looked around and found his clothes hanging on the branches next to him. He quickly took them down and put them on. Only then did he calm down and think about this matter carefully.
He was sure that he was not dreaming last night because there was a drainage ditch he dug with a hoe in this place. Looking further away, there was a new grave there without a tombstone.
Song Yuan was shivering, feeling that he had encountered something very evil, and he didn't dare to stay anymore and ran home without stopping.
But he was also stunned when he ran to his home. The house was still good yesterday suddenly collapsed, and several neighbors were looking for him in the ruins.
Neighbor Aunt Wang saw him stunned and ran to him and said, "Xiao Yuanzi, you are not at home. You are really lucky, just live!"
But he didn't react for a while, and pointed to his house and said, "Why did it collapse that night?"
"It should be that it has been raining continuously these days, and the soil slope behind your house was loosened. It collapsed last night and just hit the top of your house. You kid are really lucky. It seems that there are gods to protect you." said Zhang Tianming, a neighbor who grew up with Song Yuan.
Zhang Tianming's words made Song Yuan think of Huang Sanniang. From now on, she was saving herself by doing these things. So he ran to Aunt Wang and said, "Aunt, who is buried in the new grave at the corner of the mountain?"
Aunt Wang thought for a long time before saying, "The daughter-in-law of the Jiang family in Qian Village was buried. Speaking of this woman, she was also a miserable person. She became a widow that night after marrying. Unexpectedly, after three years of stay, someone found out that she was pregnant. A widow was pregnant. No man admitted it. Everyone in the village thought that she was not a wife. Her parents-in-law could not tolerate people like her, so she was sentenced to death by the patriarch with a glass of poisoned wine."
Song Yuan remembered everything last night and finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Huang Sanniang was bullied by bullies for a long time. Later, she became big and could not hide it from the public's eyes. The bully was afraid of the sinking pond and did not dare to come out to take responsibility.
The villagers all thought that she was unfaithful and did shameful things, and no one spoke for her, and her parents-in-law even disliked her. In the end, she had to swallow the bitter fruit herself and drink the poisoned wine of the clan leader.
Seeing that he was stunned, Aunt Wang reached out and shook his hand in front of him and said, "What are you doing? You kid won't be possessed by evil kids, right?"
Song Yuan smiled and said, "No, Aunt, you're thinking too much.""
" It's fine if there is no, think about it quickly, what should you do if this house collapses? "Aunt Wang asked.
"We all think of a way for him to build a simple house first, but this place is not good, so we must choose another place. The soil behind this place is too pine, and it will still collapse when it rains in the future. "Zhang Tianming said.
Finally, Song Yuan picked a flat land five hundred meters away from Huang Sanniang's cemetery, and built a house with everyone's help. He finally settled down again.
He always remembered the adventure that night and was grateful to Huang Sanniang for saving his life. He not only erected a monument for Huang Sanniang, but also often went to worship her. Every Qingming Festival, he would add a handful of new soil.
