In ancient times, there were two young people swimming in Yangtze River , one named Zhou Shi and the other named Ge San. They met and played together since childhood, and they had a deep friendship. Zhou Shi was two years older than Ge San. The wife she married was named Lan Hui. She was smart, smart, beautiful and charming, which made Ge San envious. Although Ge San was in the year of marriage, he never married a wife because of his poverty.
Zhou Shi is hardworking and capable, and he makes a living by fishing in the river on weekdays. He wants Ge San to go down the river to fish with him many times, but Ge San is worried that it will inevitably lead to conflicts and hurt feelings when they are together, and he refuses him without understanding the nature of the water, and his life is as poor as a waste. Zhou Shi and Ge San are in the same relationship, so they will not stand idly by. On weekdays, they will use it to help Ge San subsidize his family income, which is better for him than his brothers.
On the evening of the day, Zhou Shi sold the fish and just returned home. Ge San took the initiative to find him and said embarrassedly: "Brother Zhou, I want to fish with you!"
"No problem. Although it is hard to go down the river to fish, it makes a lot of money. As long as you are willing to work hard, I will go farther tomorrow and it will take three days to come back. If you have thought about it, come to me tomorrow!" Zhou Shi said readily.
Ge San nodded and left. After Ge San left, Lan Hui said to Zhou Shi, "He used to say that he didn't understand the nature of water and refused in every way. Why do he feel like he has become a different person now? Will he have any bad intentions?"
"I'm afraid of being poor!" Zhou Shi grinned and said, "It's good that this is good. You can help with me when you go with me. It's a good thing to make some money to marry a wife!" Lan Hui didn't say anything after hearing this.
At the morning of the next morning, Zhou Shi took Ge San to the river to catch fish. Lan Hui sent them to the riverside and repeatedly told Zhou Shi to pay attention to safety, then he reluctantly returned home.
Three days later, Zhou Shi and Ge San did not come back. Lan Hui was worried about Zhou Shi's safety, so she went to the riverside to wait, but she didn't see the two of them even after waiting for two days. She asked around but didn't find out about them. At this time, Lan Hui began to feel uneasy.
A few days later, Lan Hui received a message that a person was floating on the shore and had been rescued by nearby fishermen, asking her to see if this person was the person she was looking for. When Lan Hui went there, she saw Ge San in tattered clothes, lying on the haystack on the shore with scars, muttering constantly, "Save me! Save my brother!"
Lan Hui felt bad when she saw this scene, and asked him anxiously, "What's going on? Why are you back alone? Where are the others?"
Ge San was extremely weak, and when he saw Lan Hui, tears burst out from his eyes, and he said intermittently, "Just when we came back... suddenly encountered wind and waves, the boat capsized, and that brother Zhou Shi... was swallowed by the huge waves..."
Lan Hui's eyes turned black and he fainted immediately. After she woke up, she found herself lying on her own bed, and her parents-in-law cried quietly. When the old couple saw Lan Hui wake up, they lamented and advised her, "This is all fate. Don't be too sad. We are reasonable people. Even if you marry someone, we won't blame you!" Lan Hui stared at Fang Liang without saying anything, and looked straight at Fang Liang, neither crying nor making a fuss. No matter who comes to persuade her, she didn't respond. She didn't get into the water for two days.
On the third day, Lan Hui's mother-in-law came over and said to her, "Then Ge San has just recovered now, he wants to come to visit you, look at this..." After hearing this, Lan Hui finally said, "Let him come in!"
Lan Hui's mother-in-law wiped her tears and walked out of the room. Not long after, Ge San came to Lan Hui, knelt in front of her with a thud and said, "I am a broom star, it's me that's too unlucky. If you hate me, just beat me hard. Even if I kill me, I will never complain!"
"What happened that day?" Lan Hui asked coldly.
Ge San burst into tears. He told Lan Hui: "When he returned that day, it was dark and he suddenly encountered a strong wind. After the boat capsized, I almost drowned. At this time, Brother Zhou Shi gave me a driftwood and asked me to hold it.He said there was a small raft on the boat, and he was going to dive to pick it up and take me to the shore, but the waves were surging, and he never came back again! But I can’t swim, I floated on the water for a night before I was rescued! "
Lan Hui burst into tears after hearing this, and Ge San was so angry that he cried. He continued, "I had lost consciousness when I was rescued... Alas! I don't know why I'm alive. "After saying that, he kept hitting the ground with his fists, which made his fists drizzle blood.
Lan Hui saw that Ge San was in great pain, he hesitated for a moment and persuaded him: "You are like brothers and sisters. If he has a spirit in heaven, he will hope you will live well. This matter ends here. We must come out of the shadow of this matter. "
Ge San wiped his tears and said, "I will regard you as my closest person in the future. I will treat Brother Zhou's parents well and support the two elders to see them off. If I have selfish intentions or treat your family badly, I will not die a bad death! "
Lan Hui didn't say anything more. She and her parents-in-law forgave Ge San, and Ge San also said it would do his best, as if he had become a different person. He worked hard every day and was very filial to Zhou Shi's parents. Sometimes Zhou Shi's parents felt that Ge San was Zhou Shi.
Over time, someone persuaded Lan Hui to remarry. Even her parents-in-law said that Lan Hui was young and could not stay alone in the empty room for the rest of her life. Lan Hui said helplessly: "It is not easy for people who are in love to meet each other. Let's talk about this later! "
At this time, Grandma Lan Hui whispered: "A few days ago, I met the fortune teller , and I also had a dream! "
Lan Hui was puzzled. It was her mother-in-law who persuaded her to remarry, but why did she get involved in fortune telling? What is the relationship between this and dreaming? Seeing that she was puzzled, her mother-in-law explained in a low voice: "The fortune teller said that you and Ge Sanba are the most compatible. This child has had a good relationship with my son since he was a child. Now he regards us as biological parents. It is better to marry her than to marry others! And in the dream, my son told me that he agreed to your marriage. "
Lan Hui smiled after hearing this and didn't say much. One day, Ge San also blushed and said to Lan Hui: "You see what I do to you and the two elders, and others talk a lot. If this continues, it will probably have an impact on your reputation. I have not married or you have not married. It would be better for us to tie the knot and take better care of you..."
Ge San's voice was very low when he spoke, afraid that Lan Hui would refuse. Unexpectedly, Lan Hui nodded happily and said, "If you can agree, I will never ask for it. But before that, I hope we will go to the river where my husband had an accident and burn some paper money for him, hoping that he can forgive and bless us! "
Ge San was overjoyed after hearing this and said he would go tomorrow, but Lan Hui smiled and said, "I can't wait for a moment, I hope I will go now! "
After hearing this, Ge San quickly prepared a boat to fulfill Lan Hui's wish. Lan Hui brought the paper money prepared in advance, Ge San took her to the center of the river. At this time, the cold wind blew, making the two tremble. Ge San pointed to the river and said, "We fell into the water here, and Brother Zhou Shi was killed here. "
Lan Hui took out a piece of clothing warmly, put it on Ge San and said, "The wind is strong on the river, you put on your clothes first! Come, close your eyes! "
Ge San was flattered and closed his eyes and enjoyed Lan Hui putting clothes on him. Lan Hui first gently tied the scarf around his neck, and then quickly wrapped it around his waist, becoming tighter and tighter, wrapping his arms around him. When Ge San felt something was wrong, Lan Hui quickly used a rope to wrap around his legs, making him unable to take steps.When he opened his eyes and realized, he was tied tightly by Lan Hui, who had been prepared, and could not move!
Ge San asked in panic, "What are you going to do?"
Lan Hui sneered, "It's nothing, the blood debt is paid for blood! I've been waiting for this day for a long time! That fortune teller was invited to fool the old man, right? You once said without hesitation that you envy Brother Zhou. In fact, it was jealous and planned to take everything from him!"
Ge San showed panic on his face, but he still said stubbornly: "It's nonsense, what evidence do you have to prove that Brother Zhou Shi was the one who killed me?"
"First, you said that It's dark night when encountering huge waves. How can a person like you who doesn't understand water nature fall into the water? Where did he find driftwood to save you? If this is true, that's a coincidence! Second, if he saves you with driftwood, why should he find a small raft again? Then driftwood can only bear you? It's a coincidence! Third, how long can you last in the strong wind and waves? Can you always make sure that you breathe smoothly at all times without leaving driftwood? Even if the above three points are true, how can you explain drifting in the flowing river water Can you still be rescued here all night? Why don’t you float dozens or even hundreds of miles away..."
Lan Hui’s words made Ge San speechless. He was tied tightly and helpless. Lan Hui sighed and said, “You cry and run through all kinds of bitter tricks, making me extremely angry! When I look at you for the first time, I knew you were the murderer, but a little impotent would cause a big plan. I can’t expose you because I want to avenge my husband in the same way!”
Ge San was so scared that he peed his pants. He begged for mercy quickly, Lan Hui said, "I want this matter to become a secret. If you expose you in front of others, it will only hurt more people's feelings. In addition, I don't want to worry about it for the rest of my life! Even though you are tied up, you can still move to the side of the boat to end your sins!"
Ge San is like an eggplant beaten by frost. He knew that it would be useless to struggle, so he had to admit that Zhou Shi's death was related to him. He killed Zhou Shi and threw the body into the river. His purpose was the same as Lan Hui guessed. He was jealous of Zhou Shi and obsessed with Lan Hui's beauty, so he came up with this worst. Lan Hui said coldly: "It is easy to lie, but it is not easy to tell a perfect lie." He looked at Ge San, who struggled helplessly to the side of the boat and fell into the river with a thud.
Lan Hui stood on the boat for a long time. After half an hour, there were no more bubbles on the water. Lan Hui couldn't stand up to the river. He knelt down with his husband Zhou Shi, and said to himself: "Not everyone knows how to repay. They are only jealous. They can't tolerate others better than you. If there is still a next life, I hope you can be a kind and wise person instead of a bad person without boundaries!"
A splash of water appeared on the river. Maybe it was a fish, or maybe it was her husband's response to her.
