This is a story that happened a long time ago.
There is a river on this big plain, and there is a dense forest by the river. Deep in the dense forest are Zhang and Wang families who have cleared the wasteland and cut grass from the pass.
There is a boy named Zhiqiang in the Zhang family. There is a girl in the Wang family named Yufang. Zhiqiang and Yufang grew up together since childhood. Seeing that the two of them grew up to eighteen years old, one had a broad waist, a round waist, a handsome and strong waist, and the other had a slim and plump appearance, like a flower and jade.
Gradually, the two developed a relationship. Yufang went to the forest to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables, Zhiqiang went to the forest to cut grass and chop firewood, Yufang went to the river to pick clams, Zhiqiang went to the river to fish.
One day, the two finally hugged each other in the woods.
When the two were kissing enthusiastically, they suddenly heard a voice "Amitabha, good! Good!" coming from outside the woods.
The two were shocked and quickly let go of their hands. Through the cracks of the tree, a monk wearing monk's robes and straw sandals stood outside the woods.
They were about to hide, but the monk left four words and left. These four sentences say this:
Pretty girl and handsome man are pitiful,
Youthful two are not destined to be young,
After all the disasters,
Reunion will begin at dusk.
What does this mean? None of them knows.
Besides, there is a large family in the upper reaches of this river, a hundred miles away. This family's surname is Liu. The owner of the household is named Liu Ren.
Speaking of Liu Ren, he can really dominate the world and be rich. In order to expand the land of the land, on this 100-mile plain, every year, he rode a horse and took his thugs to encircle the land along the banks of the river bay. No matter who drives the wasteland, after he rides a horse, it will be his. Therefore, the small families in the circle complained and there were thousands of villas in his family.
This year, I happened to be in the area where Zhang and Wang lived. When he saw Yufang, who was beautiful and beautiful with his father, he could not move his steps. He stared at Yufang and saw from his head that curved willow eyebrows, and bulging breasts... He thought that if he could marry her, he might have hope of having a son.
It turns out that although the Liu Ren family has many wives and concubines, in his words, they are all "heens that do not lay eggs." He was fifty, but there were no boys or girls. He thought more than once, who will inherit my huge family business in a hundred years? If I leave this world, who will burn paper for me to visit my grave?
Now, he met this beautiful woman, and it seems that all these can be solved.
At the moment, he threatened Yufang's father and asked him to betroth his daughter to him. If he betrothed his daughter, he would not only not go around his land, but also give him some money. If he did not betroth his daughter to him, he would not only enclose all his wasteland, but also drive him out of this land. In order to save the job he had exchanged for sweat, Yufang's father agreed to the marriage with tears in order to survive on this land of scholars.
I saw that Yufang had been in Liu Ren's house for a year, but she still had no fertility.
This time Liu Ren understood. The reason they don’t have children is that men are not women. So he came up with an idea that no one could come up with.
One day, he brought back a strong young man from outside.
He walked into Yufang's house and said to Yufang, "I've already looked for a doctor. We won't have any problems. I'm not with you. Can you leave a note for the Liu family? It depends on you..."
Yufang was stunned: "Look at me?" He pointed out to the outside, pointed to the young man he brought to the straw hut and said, "My name is to hire him to mow the grass and clean the yard, but he actually asked him to leave a note for us. You can find him and go to bed with him secretly..."
Yufang's face suddenly turned red, and she was so angry that she couldn't help but her eyebrows stood up. She was about to have an attack, but she was stunned when she looked out the window.
She never dreamed that the person Liu Ren brought back would be her lover Zhiqiang!
A few days later, on a quiet night, Yufang sneaked into the kitchen where Zhiqiang lived alone.
After the two met, they immediately hugged their heads and cried.
Zhiqiang told Yufang that since Liu Ren married her away and wrapped his land, he had no intention of working anymore.He wandered around, wanting to take care of work, be able to inquire about her whereabouts and meet her... Unexpectedly, he was wandering around Gongfu City that day, which made Liu Ren fall in love with him.
Liu Ren looked around, looked up and down, and finally patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll hire you!"
But he didn't know what Liu Ren hired him for. Liu Ren also didn't know about his relationship with Yufang.
In a flash, Zhiqiang has been in Liu Ren's house for almost half a year. Every day, he mowed the grass and cleaned the yard, and had a secret meeting with Yufang at night. The two became husband and wife...
This morning was late autumn. Just as Yufang returned to her house from the kitchen where Zhiqiang lived, Liu Ren went outside the kitchen door and shouted loudly: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang! The horse grass is gone, you go to Jiangdongyan to cut the horse grass, and I will send someone to carry it later!"
From home to Jiangdongyan, there is a Jiangcha in the middle. There are no bridges or boats in Jiangchazi, and they can only walk away by lying in water.
Yufang was shocked. Isn’t this the life that wants Zhiqiang? She rushed out of the room and knelt down at Liu Ren: "Are you okay?"
Liu Ren sneered in a low voice, dragging Yufang and leaving. When he arrived at the house, he lowered his voice and said viciously: "Do you think I'm asking you to be a long-term couple? Do you think I want to give him the son in your belly?" As he said that, he walked out of the house and locked Yufang in the house.
In the morning of late autumn, the river water is cold. Zhiqiang had passed away from Jiangchazi and never came back since then...
Yufang knew that Zhiqiang would die, and she cried non-stop secretly...
Just June of the following year, Yufang really gave birth to a white and fat young boy. This time, a stone fell to the ground in Liu Ren's heart. He said to everyone: "This time, the Liu family has inherited their family property, and some people burn paper for their ancestors' graves..."
He named his son Liu Jiye.
In a blink of an eye, twenty-one years have passed. Liu Jiye got married and had children, and grew up to be a big boy.
At the end of this year, Liu Ren was seriously ill and left. When he was dying, he told his wife and son that after he died, he would burn more paper for him. He said that the world is the same as this world. If you don’t have money, you can’t be called the overlord. In order for him to be rich and powerful in that world and be able to dominate, they must "send money" to him continuously.
With the family business left by Liu Ren, burning paper is certainly no problem. His son bought him a large cart of burning paper, gold, silver, paper money for the underworld, and invited monks, Taoist priests and . Among these monks and Taoist priests, one of the monks who presided over the chanting of scriptures told his son that he had a magic spell that when he burned paper for his father, he could see his father and the affairs of the underworld.
Sure enough, after the monk casts the spell, Liu Ren appeared in front of his son.
Liu Ren wandered around the paper money burned by his son, looking at the bundles of Mingbao that his son "given" him, wanting to move but not daring to move.
At this moment, a group of gods came out and sealed bundles of dark treasures with sealed seals with the seal written on it, and carried them away...
His son was surprised and couldn't help but say loudly, "This?"
The monk who presided over the chanting of scriptures came over and said meaningfully, "You are not his son. How dare he collect the paper money you burned? Therefore, he had to temporarily seal it in the underworld."
His son became more and more surprised: "I am not his son? Where do you start!"
The monk smiled meaningfully, "This, you will know if you ask your mother."
The son asked his mother, and the mother felt sad and she told her son the woman who was about to tell her.
But my son doesn't understand yet. He asked the monk who presided over the chanting of the scriptures: "I am not his son, and he dare not accept the paper money I burned. Then, my biological father is dead, and my father should come and collect it!"
Monk smiled and said, "Your father is not dead, he is still alive."
"Living? Where is he?"
Monk pointed to a monk who was chanting the scriptures and said, "He is!"
"He is?" The son was shocked at the monk who was nearly fifty years old.
In order to identify whether the monk was his father, the son found his mother...
Mother Yufang recognized the mole on the monk's eyebrows and the traces of the past on his face. This monk is indeed Zhiqiang! So the three of them hugged their heads and cried bitterly.
It turned out that on that morning, Zhiqiang fell into Jiangchazi with water and his stomach hurt so much. When he reached Jiangdongyan, he could no longer straighten his waist.
At this moment, a monk walked over with the voice of "Amitabha, good! Good!" He said, "The disaster is here to end. Cut your hair to practice. After twenty-one years, you will return to the worldly fate."
After reciting these four words, the monk took out a red pill from his sleeve and put it into his mouth. His pain disappeared immediately, and the monk took him away. Now, twenty-one years have passed, and according to the four words of the monk back then, it was the date when he returned to secular life.
The monk who presided over the chanting of scriptures walked up to the three people and said, "This time, your family can be reunited!" After that, he glanced at Liu Ren's coffin and recited four sentences: "Doing good will not see good, doing evil will eventually see evil, and doing evil will be done, and the mechanism will be done, and you will have nothing to gain."
Zhiqiang and Yufang suddenly realized that they can reunite today, which is completely because God has the eyes. In order to thank God for his blessing, they discussed and decided to return all the land of Liu Ren occupied by small families to the original owner. Therefore, with the change of the title of the crowd, the Liu family became the Zhang family, and Liu Jiye was renamed Zhang Jiye.
Because of the last reunion of Zhiqiang and Yufang, the two were fifty years old, which was the evening of the same life, so they finally understood what the monk said back then, "The reunion will begin at that time."
