Wangwushan lives a man named Li Baoshan. His parents died in an early age. Li Baoshan made a living by begging for food and lived a difficult life. Now more than ten years have passed. Li Baoshan is also fourteen or five years old and has grown into a young man.
In order to live a good life in the future, Li Baoshan wanted to learn the ability to settle down and make a living, so he became a disciple of Wang Shimajian from the neighboring village and learned the carving skills from Wang Shimajian.
Li Baoshan not only has a handsome appearance, but also has a flexible mind and strong hands-on ability. In less than two years, he has learned his craftsmanship. The things he carved are vivid and have a tendency to surpass the younger generation, which has been recognized by the locals.
Three years later, Li Baoshan can go out alone, but he is a man who is grateful and stays with his master, saying that his master is old and he wants to earn money to support his master and junior sister.
Wang Shimajian never married his wife in his life, but he has a daughter who was said to have picked stones in the mountains. Wang Shimajian named his daughter Shanmei. Shanmei is beautiful and skillful. Wang Shimajian loves this daughter very much. She is not a biological child, but is better than a biological child.
Under normal circumstances, the mountain girl will marry a good husband and live happily for the rest of her life, but unexpected events will happen. Just a few months ago, Wang Shanmei rolled down the cliff while picking bacteria on the mountain. Although she saved her life, she became dementia and crazy since then.
Looking at his daughter's confused eyes, he kept making laughs of eating, which made Wang Shijian very sad. A beautiful woman became like this. She could only marry a family with a broken or poor life. Her life would be dark in the future.
Now Wang Shanmei is sixteen years old. Although she is very beautiful and has a convex figure, no one wants to marry her because she is not smart.
One day, matchmaker Wang came to the house to say that Zhu Daniu from the neighboring village was willing to marry Wang Shanmei. Zhu Daniu was in his forties and was an old bachelor. Because his family was too poor and lazy, he had never gotten married until now.
Of course, Wang Shijian didn't want his daughter to marry Zhu Daniu, but he thought that he was getting older and it was impossible for him to take care of his daughter for the rest of his life, so he agreed. When Wang Shanmei got married, Wang Shijian gave him a lot of dowry to make his daughter live a better life.
After Wang Shanmei married Zhu Daniu, Zhu Daniu was able to accommodate her at the beginning, washing and cooking for her, and serving her well, but not long after, Zhu Daniu could not bear Wang Shanmei's dementia and gave her a break.
After Wang Shanmei was taken back home by Mason Wang, she felt very distressed when she looked at her waxy and thin daughter and said, "Child, my father will raise you in the future and I will never send you away again!" Mason Wang hugged her father and smiled foolishly, and Mason Wang shed tears.
Li Baoshan felt very uncomfortable when he saw the father and daughter like this, and said, "Master, don't worry, I will treat Shanmei like her biological sister, I will take good care of you!"
Wang Shijian felt a little relieved when he heard Li Baoshan say this, and said, "Hey, this child's life is miserable... It is also her blessing to have a brother like you!"
If Li Baoshan goes to the city to work for others, he will always bring some food and play to Shanmei when he comes back, which makes Shanmei happy and relies more and more on Li Baoshan.
A few years later, Wang Shijian passed away from being infected with the cold. What he was most worried about before his death was his daughter Wang Shanmei, who held Wang Shanmei's hand and was reluctant to let go.
Li Baoshan knew what his master was thinking, so he quickly said, "Master, don't worry, I will take good care of Shanmei!"
Wang Shimajian said, "You...you marry a wife in the future...I'm afraid that others will dislike Shanmei..."
Li Baoshan said without hesitation: "Master, don't worry, I marry Shanmei, I will treat her well for the rest of my life!"
Wang Shimajian closed his eyes with confidence after hearing Li Baoshan's promise. After Li Baoshan buried his master with great care, he fulfilled his promise and married the stupid Wang Shanmei as his wife.
After the two got married, Li Baoshan loved Wang Shanmei very much. He cooked delicious meals every day and dressed up cleanly. As long as he didn't smile foolishly, no one could tell that she was abnormal.
Sometimes, Li Baoshan was invited out to work and could not come back for a day or two. He was worried that Wang Shanmei would go there, so he took her with him. When everyone saw him, they said that Li Baoshan was a good person, but Li Baoshan said, "She is my wife, I should do these things!"
Under Li Baoshan's careful care, Wang Shanmei's stupid illness was not that serious. She no longer smiled foolishly all day, but sat there thinking, and could do some simple housework. This surprised and happy Li Baoshan, and was more considerate in her care. She also talked and chatted to her every night to guide her to remember what had happened before.
Li Baoshan has been serving Wang Shanmei carefully for two years, and his hard work pays off. Wang Shanmei's illness has almost cured. Not only can she wash clothes and cook, but she also starts communicating with Li Baoshan, Yanran is a normal person.
After Wang Shanmei's illness recovered, Li Baoshan had no worries. He often went out to work in order to earn more money and let his wife live a good life.
Every time Li Baoshan goes out, he will prepare rice, flour, grain, oil, vegetables and meat for his wife, and hand over all the money at home to her to keep, saying that she will take good care of herself at home and not run around.
Wang Shanmei said, "Don't worry, my husband! I will take good care of myself. You should be careful when working outside and be careful when working outside!"
Facing his wife's tenderness and sweetness, Li Baoshan's heart was sweeter than drinking honey, and he worked harder when working outside. Every time he came back, he would bring food and use it for his wife, which touched Wang Shanmei very much.
But the good times didn't last long. Once, Li Baoshan went to work in the county town. After only three days, something happened at home. This incident was like a bolt from the blue for Li Baoshan.
it turned out that in the middle of the night before, Wang Dagui, next to Li Baoshan, suddenly heard a scream from Li Baoshan's house, and heard strange birds and flapping his wings.
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Li Baoshan is not at home. Wang Dagui wondered if something happened to Wang Shanmei, so he quickly climbed over the wall to Li Baoshan's house. Seeing the dim light in the room, he kicked open the door and went in. The scene in front of him made Wang Dagui both afraid and shocked.
I saw Wang Shanmei lying on the bed, covered in blood, and her internal organs had been hollowed out. Wang Dagui thought that this must be the cause of the monster. Seeing this bloody scene, his stomach churned and he felt disgusted.
Now that Li Baoshan is not at home, Wang Dagui drove his carriage to the town overnight to buy a thin coffin and buried Wang Shanmei. After dawn, he told the villagers about what happened last night. Everyone was frightened and asked him to go to the city to inform Li Baoshan.
Li Baoshan followed Wang Dagui back home. He saw blood everywhere in the room. His wife had been put into the coffin and did not see it on the last time. Li Baoshan was extremely sad. He wanted to open the coffin and see his wife, but Wang Dagui persuaded him and said that Wang Shan's death seemed too miserable, so he should not look at it.
It turned out that there was a dilapidated temple on Wangwu Mountain, and there was no incense. Legend has it that monsters often appear there, and no one in the village dared to approach the dilapidated temple. After hearing Wang Dagui's description of the matter, the villagers agreed that it was the monster who killed Wang Shanmei, and Li Baoshan also believed this statement.
The unfortunate death of his wife has a great blow to Li Baoshan. He felt sorry for his wife and even more sorry for his master, but it was too late. He could only use all his savings to bury his wife in order to seek a little psychological comfort.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. On the day of Wang Shanmei's 57th, Li Baoshan took the things to worship his wife. He placed a roast chicken and a roast duck in front of Wang Shanmei's tombstone and said, "My wife, get up and eat, these are all your favorite dishes!"
Li Baoshan put three incense sticks on his wife, then sat next to the tombstone, chatting with his wife, and as he talked, she shed tears, and sat until the sun set, and he fell asleep unknowingly.
When he woke up, he found that it was already night. The round moon hung in the sky, illuminating the cemetery as bright as day. Li Baoshan stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he looked at the offerings in front of the tombstone. This made him creepy. He actually saw a big flower snake. The snake was very strange, with two round heads and was stealing the offerings in front of the tombstone.
Li Baoshan tried hard to calm himself down. He picked up a stick on the ground and drove away the big snake. The big snake avoided it in a flash, and then there was a strange laugh, which made people shudder.
"What a pity to put these things here. It's better to let me enjoy them, haha..." The big snake actually made the old man's voice.
Li Baoshan saw the big snake talking and knew it was not an ordinary big snake. He quickly said, "It's a villain who doesn't know Mount Tai anymore. Please forgive me! My wife died miserably. Today is her 7 day. These things are all things she likes to eat. If the snake immortal likes to eat, I'll send you fresh ones!"
Big snake said, "Your wife is not dead at all. She lives well now..."
Just a few days after Wang Shanmei's death, his neighbor Wang Dagui went out to do business. No one knows where he went, and no one doubts anything.
Now that hearing the words of the Big Snake, Li Baoshan was shocked. He never dreamed that this was the case. It turned out that all this was a conspiracy.
In order to prove that the big snake is right, the next day, Li Baoshan took the iron rake to the cemetery, preparing to dig open his wife's grave and see if there was any wife's corpse in the coffin.
The people in the village heard that Li Baoshan went to dig Wang Shanmei's grave, and everyone was very confused, so they followed him to the grave to watch the fun.
Li Baoshan swung the iron rake and started digging. Soon the coffin was exposed. Everyone helped to open the lid of the coffin. The situation in the coffin was stunned. There should have been Wang Shanmei's corpse inside, but now there is not even a bone scum, but a big stone.
After everyone reacted, they started to discuss, unable to figure out why there were no corpses in the coffin? It was midnight when Wang Shanmei died. The next day, the villagers came to Li Baoshan's house. Wang Shanmei had been buried. It was a coffin that Wang Dagui bought for her.
Wang Shanmei was killed by a monster and her internal organs were taken away. In fact, no one saw it. She heard Wang Dagui say it. Because there was blood in the room, everyone believed Wang Dagui's words. Now that I think about it, this matter is very strange.
Just when everyone was puzzled, a villager suddenly said, "I went to Liulin Town the day before yesterday and met Wang Dagui and Wang Shanmei..."
It turned out that this villager went to Liulin Town to visit relatives the day before yesterday and accidentally saw Wang Dagui and Wang Shanmei on the street. At first, he thought he was confused. Driven by curiosity, he quietly followed the two, but found that these two were really Wang Dagui and Wang Shanmei.
This villager, with the idea that it is better to have less than more things, did not tell Li Baoshan. Now that he saw Li Baoshan dig Wang Shanmei’s tomb, he knew that the truth of this matter was revealed, he couldn’t help but tell what he saw and heard.
Li Baoshan learned about the whereabouts of the two, so he went to the county government to report the case. The county government government's shop led the yamen runners to Liulin Town, captured Wang Dagui and Wang Shanmei, and then took him to the county government for interrogation. Wang Shanmei's explanation shocked Li Jiabao.
Wang Dagui is lazy and has not gotten married in his forties. As Wang Shanmei grows up day by day, he has an inappropriate thought about the beautiful Wang Shanmei, so he shows her diligence and expresses her feelings.
Wang Shanmei is in her youth and she is looking forward to a beautiful love. How could she fall in love with the old and lazy Wang Dagui? She rejected him mercilessly. This made Wang Dagui angry and decided to take revenge on Wang Shanmei.
Once, Wang Shanmei went to the mountain to collect mushrooms, and Wang Dagui followed quietly. After coming to the deep mountains, he attacked Wang Shanmei. He hugged Wang Shanmei and said, "Shanmei, I like you..."
Wang Shanmei was hugged by Wang Dagui and shouted in fear, "Wang Dagui, let go, let me go..." She shouted while constantly struggling, but she was a weak woman and could not get rid of Wang Dagui at all.
While the two of them were fighting, Wang Shanmei rolled down the cliff. Wang Dagui was so scared that he ran away. Wang Shanmei's breathing was weak when she was found, and she was almost out of reach. Wang Shimamaster found the best doctor in the local area to treat her daughter, and finally saved her life. But she was no longer the smart Wang Shanmei before, and she became stupid and couldn't remember anything.
After hearing Wang Shanmei's stories, everyone became even more confused. Since the person who harmed her was Wang Dagui, why did she cooperate with him to act and elope with her? Is it Wang Dagui's force?
Wang Dagui told the villagers and Li Baoshan that Wang Shanmei was killed by monsters. Now Wang Shanmei is not only alive, but also lives with Wang Dagui. The magistrate asked Wang Dagui to explain clearly.
Wang Dagui kept silent at first, and the magistrate asked someone to blame him for his stick. When Wang Dagui heard this, he cried and told the truth.
After Wang Shanmei was rescued, Wang Dagui was very scared. He was afraid that she would expose herself, so he wanted to kill someone to silence him. When he learned that Wang Shanmei was stupid, he gave up the idea of killing.
Later, Wang Shanmei got married with Li Baoshan, and Wang Shanmei gradually got better and finally recovered from health. This made Wang Dagui very worried, for fear that Wang Shanmei would tell what he did, and he had the evil thought of killing and silence him.
Because Wang Dagui coveted Wang Shanmei's beauty, he couldn't bear to kill her. If she wanted her to never say that, another way was to take her for herself, so that Wang Shanmei would be united with him.
Because Li Baoshan often works outside, the young and beautiful Wang Shanmei felt lonely. At this time, Wang Dagui took advantage of the situation and asked Wang Shanmei about her well-being, and said sweet words to deceive her.
On a night of lightning and lightning, Wang Dagui was worried that Wang Shanmei was afraid, so he went to be his company. That night, the two finally broke through the bottom line of morality and did something shameful.
Wang Shanmei found that Wang Dagui was very good at loving women, and Li Baoshan could not do this at all. She slowly fell in love with Wang Dagui and wanted to be a long-term husband and wife with him. Of course, Wang Dagui was reluctant to ask for it. He also wanted to stay with Wang Shanmei forever, so the two used the legend of a monster in Wangwu Mountain to use the trick of escaping the shell.
In fact, the blood in Wang Shanmei's room was not human blood, but chicken blood. There was a big stone in the coffin. Wang Shanmei had escaped to Liulin Town overnight and lived in the house she and Wang Dagui rented in advance.
Wang Dagui said that Wang Shanmei died miserably. Out of kindness, he bought a coffin and buried her overnight. The people in the village and Li Baoshan were fooled by him. He even thought he was a very righteous person, but he didn't expect that he was so dirty.
According to the law at that time, the two were sentenced to death by . The magistrate sentenced Wang Dagui to dismember the five horses and Wang Shanmei died in a pond.
Li Baoshan felt very uncomfortable after hearing the verdict. He felt that he was responsible for this matter. If he hadn't been busy making money and neglected his wife, his wife would not have gone astray, and Wang Dagui would not have succeeded.
He felt even more guilty when he thought of his master’s explanation before his death, so he begged the magistrate to bypass his wife and give her a lighter punishment.
Wang Shanmei also cried and confessed to Li Baoshan, saying that she was wrong, and begged the magistrate to spare her once. Li Baoshan walked to Wang Shanmei, wiped her tears, and said, "My wife, it is also a responsibility for her husband in this matter. I care too little about you..." The couple hugged their heads and cried bitterly.
The magistrate saw that Wang Shanmei had sincerely regretted her. The couple still had feelings for each other, so she was exempted from the death penalty, but was sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison.After this incident, Li Baoshan did not come out for a long time. It was not until a few years later that he found his happiness again and married a woman from the same village as his wife. The young couple was very loving, and the couple followed their wife and lived a prosperous life.
This story has nothing to do with superstition, and is mainly to promote folk culture and punish evil and promote good.
