Tang Yulong walked weakly on the street, and the fragrance emitted by the bun shop on the street was desperately drilling into his nostrils. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and his stomach started to scream without competing.
hasn't eaten for two days. At this time, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, but he didn't have a penny on his body. He could only stare at the steaming big meat buns and stare at him.
But then again, if it were the past, not to mention this ordinary bun, even if there was a table full of good wine and good food in front of him, it might not be able to arouse his appetite.
After all, he was born in a wealthy family and has been used to eating delicacies since he was a child. Ordinary dishes really cannot catch his eye.
It’s a pity that this is different from the past. Since the provincial examinations were unknown on several consecutive provincial examinations, the bored Tang Yulong said goodbye to his parents and his entourage to go out for a relaxing time. Unexpectedly, after arriving in this remote Huangsha Town, he fell ill in the hotel because he was not accustomed to the local conditions.
The old saying says that The blessings are unparalleled and misfortune never go alone . When the follower saw that his master was groggy and unconscious, he took the opportunity to take away his bags and luggage and didn't know where he escaped.
This made Tang Yulong suffer. Fortunately, the ring he wore was worth a lot of money, so he begged the store to buy a few pairs of herbs for him. After taking
, the condition improved, but the daily expenses of food, staying in the hotel are not small, and the remaining money was used up not long after.
Seeing that he was already in vain, the store owner drove him out mercilessly.
is in a foreign land, but Tang Yulong is in a state of self-identity and can't bear to beg for a long time, and the water and rice have not entered for two days and two nights.
He didn't know what to do next, but just walked aimlessly on the street. When passing by the bun shop, he was drooling all over the floor, but when the boss saw that he was looking at him and didn't buy it, he quickly waved his hand and told him to get out of here like a beggar.
The tiger fell into the flat sun, and Tang Yulong sighed inwardly and turned into the alley on the roadside and sat on the ground.
He was so hungry that he felt dizzy when he leaned against the wall. He gasped for several heavy breaths before he felt a little better.
And at this moment, a middle-aged man in bright clothes appeared at the entrance of the alley. He smiled at Tang Yulong, then walked straight to him and asked with a pleasant look: "Young man, I think you are having trouble?"
Tang Yulong nodded instinctively and said: "To be honest, I've been hungry for two days!"
The man asked again: "Do you want to have a big meal in the restaurant?"
Tang Yulong said helplessly: "I think so! But I'm penniless now. Not to mention going to a restaurant for a big meal, I can't afford even the buns on the roadside!"
"That's it! Help me do something, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Before the wine and food were served, Tang Yulong, whose eyes were green, could not wait to shake off his cheeks and feast.
After a gust of wind swept the clouds, he was full of wine and then touched his round belly and asked tentatively, "What do you want me to do?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't ask, are you full? Come with me when you are full!"
The two left the restaurant and went up a carriage waiting at the door. The coachman waved his whip and ran straight out of the town.
Seeing the road getting steeper and the surrounding environment became more and more remote, Tang Yulong couldn't help but feel pounding, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have heard a man say he was invited to a meal in the alley and agreed to his request in one go.
But I was so hungry at that time, and the man's outfit was not like a gangster or a bandit, and he was penniless and had nothing to do, so he followed him into the restaurant without hesitation.
Just when Tang Yulong was frustrated and worried, the carriage stopped steadily in front of a manor located halfway up the mountain.
A middle-aged man's face was filled with smiles and handed over a package and said, "It's here, you are in luck! Change it in quickly!"
For some reason, Tang Yulong felt that the man's smile seemed to be malicious. When he took the package and opened it, he was stunned. There was a set of big red groom's uniform inside!
"Is this?"
"Don't talk too much, change it quickly, the bride is still waiting for you!"
Tang Yulong wanted to say something else, but the man's face darkened, and the groom in front turned his head and stared at him fiercely.
A chill came from the bottom of my heart, and Tang Yulong had to do it obediently.
When he got dressed neatly, he walked out of the carriage, the man looked up and down and nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the door of the manor and knocked on the door.
Not long after, a man who looked like a housekeeper walked out, whispered with the middle-aged man, and looked up from time to time at Tang Yulong who was standing next to the carriage with a confused look on his face.
After a while, the middle-aged man waved and called Tang Yulong over and introduced him, "This is the butler here, please come in with him!" The butler then bowed slightly to him and said, "Son-in-law, please come in, everyone is waiting for you!"
is a blessing, not a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.
Although he was full of doubts, Tang Yulong had to bite the bullet and follow the housekeeper into the yard. However, he saw the lights inside, which seemed to be doing a wedding, but strangely, except for some maids and servants coming in and out, he did not see the guests coming to congratulate him.
When we arrived at the hall, there was a woman wearing a phoenix crown and a robe waiting there for a long time, and I guess this one was the bride. A kind-hearted old couple sat at the top of the head, and it seemed that they were the bride's parents. There were still a few people standing around, probably the bride's closest relatives.
It’s just a bit strange that there was no trace of joy on everyone’s faces, and that expression looked like the family was not doing weddings, but doing funerals!
"One worship of the world!"
"Two worship of the high hall!"
"Couple worship of each other!"
"The auspicious time has arrived, I will be sent to the bridal chamber!"
Tang Yulong bowed in a confused manner, and was huddled by everyone and pushed into a very festive new house.
and others dispersed, and he quickly took a look at the bride sitting quietly on the edge of the bed.
If you just look at your figure, the woman in front of you seems to be pretty good. But after this series of strange things, Tang Yulong concluded that the woman must be so ugly that no one wants to marry her, because only in this way can they explain why they tried their best to trick themselves into marrying her!
For a moment, Tang Yulong was filled with mixed feelings, and regretted in his heart that he shouldn't have run out at the beginning. What should he do now that he is in such a situation?
sat in the room for the middle of the night, and he didn't dare to lift the bride's veil. But it is not a solution to continue like this. The bride was so bored that she began to twist her body slightly, obviously she was already impatient.
.00 annoyed her, who knows if she would do something terrible to herself!
Thinking of this, Tang Yulong gritted his teeth and walked over and lifted the veil tremblingly. When he saw the bride's appearance clearly, he was stunned!
I saw the bride's eyebrows and eyes drooping, half-shy, beautiful face, and skin as creamy as milk. This is not an ugly monster. It's simply a fairy descending to earth. Even if Xi Shi is reincarnated, Diao Chan will be like this!
Could it be that the middle-aged man said that I am lucky? Tang Yulong was overjoyed, and this situation was beyond his expectations!
Beautiful beauty, he couldn't help but feel distracted and began to think about it. So he said excitedly: "Madam, it's getting late, why don't we go to bed to rest?"
Unexpectedly, the bride said softly: "No hurry, let's talk first!"
Tang Yulong didn't know what the other party was selling in the gourd, so he had to patiently chat with her.
is also funny. The newlyweds didn't tell each other until the wedding night. Tang Yulong learned that the bride was named Su Xiaowan, who was the only daughter of this family. When he wanted to ask more, Su Xiaowan smiled without saying a word, and then asked about his situation.
As the saying goes, spring night is worth a thousand gold, but the two of them did nothing on their first wedding night, and they kept chatting until dawn. A few nights after
, Tang Yulong could not help but want to perform the husband-and-wife ceremony several times, but was stopped by Su Xiaowan.
Tang Yulong felt very uncomfortable after refusing to refuse again and again, but after a few days of getting along, he could see that Su Xiaowan was gentle and virtuous, and she also had a good impression of him, but for some reason she was willing to make the relationship between them go further.
Every time Tang Yulong was rejected when he was rejected for a love call, Su Xiaowan would cry and persuade him kindly: "Mr. Lang, you have to believe me. I do this for your own good!"
If you don't be intimate with me, you will say it for my good! Tang Yulong was even more frustrated after hearing this, but he felt soft again when he looked at the beauty pear blossoms with rain.
Somehow, he always felt that Su Xiaowan would not lie to him, but just wanted to ask what she was willing to reveal anything.
In a blink of an eye, it has been eight days since the two of them got married!
That night, Su Xiaowan took out some gold, silver jewelry and broken silver for Tang Yulong, and repeatedly reminded him: "Mr., your husband and wife are over, and someone will take you out tomorrow. I only have these goods around me, I hope they can help you return to your hometown! Remember not to talk too much, otherwise you will have life worries!"
Tang Yulong was a monk who was confused. Although he was unclear, he had to nod solemnly when he looked at Su Xiaowan's serious expression. But when I thought of her saying that the couple had ended, I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart.
That night, the two of them said goodbye without sleep all night.
After dawn, Tang Yulong was taken out of the manor to a carriage. The coachman took him to the bottom of the mountain and turned around and ran away.
nine in the place, Tang Yulong had to walk around without knowing the direction. It was not until the sun was west that he saw several thatched huts not far ahead.
The hungry and thirsty Tang Yulong hurriedly knocked on the door, planning to ask for a glass of water, and then take a break and ask for directions.
The one who opened the door was an old man, and Tang Yulong bowed and explained his purpose. The old man was very enthusiastic and quickly let him into the house.
took the water brought by the old man and drank it. Tang Yulong felt that he was not so tired, so he started talking to the other party.
He had too many questions, so he told him about his experience in Huangsha Town.
The old man sighed when he heard this, twisting his beard, "You met a good girl!"
Then he told the truth to Tang Yulong!
It turns out that a young woman in the mountain village near Huangsha Town has a strange poison in her body. When she becomes an adult, she will have poison sores and no cure. In the end, she will rot and die of death. Her condition is very terrifying!
And the only way to rescue is to find a young man to get married. Once the two of them get along, after nine days, the strange poison in the woman's body will unknowingly transfer to the man.
Local people know this, so some wealthy families here will spare no expense to hire some men from other places to marry their daughters to get married after the poison is finished.
A man was infected with a strange poison and would develop poison sores and die of ulcers within a few days. Women whose strange poison has been removed can get married and have children again.
Of course, this is all the way for rich people. Those poor families have no money to ask someone to deceive men from other places. They have to send their daughter to a place called "Nether Valley" in the mountain with tears in their eyes when they start to develop poisonous sores!
After saying this, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "You met a kind-hearted girl! She couldn't bear to harm you, and would rather have poisoned her than be in the same room as you. It's rare, it's really rare! It's a pity that she will soon be covered in poisonous sores and sent to the Nether Valley to die!"
Hearing this, Tang Yulong was already in tears. He hurriedly said goodbye to the old man and found him again along the way!
That night, Tang Yulong sneaked back to the manor and came outside Su Xiaowan's room, and happened to hear the conversation between Su's mother and her daughter.
"Son! You are unwilling to harm others, but you will be poisoned soon! According to the rules, parents can only send you to the Netherworld Valley. Why are you doing to you?"
"Mom, as the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to others. How can a child bear to kill an innocent person because he wants to survive! Mom, this is the child's life. Please forgive your unfilial piety, and it's waste of your hard work!"
"Well, okay! There is no room for recovery now. Tomorrow I will ask the servants to prepare more food and clothing for you to take, so that you will not be hungry and hungry!"
...
...
The next day is a separation of life and death. Su's mother stayed with her daughter until late at night before leaving.
Tang Yulong tiptoed to push the door and entered, but Su Xiaowan sat under the lamp and felt sad, not paying attention to anyone entering the room at all. It was not until Tang Yulong called out "Madam" that she raised her head.
When she saw the person clearly, she was surprised and happy, and then asked anxiously: "Wangjun, why are you back again?"
"My wife, I can't let you go to Netherworld Valley! I want to take you away, I want to cure your illness!"
Tang Yulong said firmly, and tears appeared in Su Xiaowan's eyes!
Tang Yulong finally convinced Su Xiaowan, and the two elopements overnight. They trekked all the way toward Tang Yulong's hometown, and only after returning home would they have money to hire a famous doctor!
However, after just one day of his journey, Su Xiaowan's body began to be covered with poisonous sores, and the smell emitted was even more stinky. Her originally handsome face also became as scary as a ghost mother yaksha.
In order not to be regarded as a monster by others, Tang Yulong had to lead her to pick some rarely visited mountain roads.
On the evening of this day, the two of them settled in a deserted temple in the mountains. Su Xiaowan was depressed since she developed poisonous sores. Although Tang Yulong repeatedly encouraged her, she still said nothing.
I was speechless all night. After dawn, Tang Yulong opened his eyes but could not see Su Xiaowan. He hurriedly stood up and looked around, and saw a few lines of words written on the ground at a glance. After looking closely, it was obviously left by Su Xiaowan. The general idea was that he did not want to implicate Tang Yulong again, and he hoped to be a husband and wife again in the next life!
Tang Yulong was immediately worried and rushed out of the ruined temple while shouting. As soon as he ran out, he heard a "thump" sound of falling into the water not far away. He immediately remembered that he passed by a deep pool when he was digging the temple. Could it be that Su Xiaowan had dived and committed suicide!
dared not think too much, Tang Yulong hurried to the edge of the pool. Seeing the ripples and bubbles in the pool, he shouted "Madam" and jumped down without hesitation.
Television of all the efforts of the tiger to rescue Su Xiaowan from the pool. Tang Yulong, who was so tired that he fainted, fainted on the ground.
After waking up, he was already lying in the dilapidated temple, while Su Xiaowan was looking at him with concern, but Tang Yulong always felt something was wrong!
is right! He was so close to Su Xiaowan at this time, but he didn't smell the stinky smell at all. Instead, a faint fragrance penetrated his nostrils.
What's more amazing is that the poisonous sores on Su Xiaowan's face have all disappeared. Not only has she returned to her past appearance, but her skin has also become smoother and more delicate.
"My wife, am I dreaming! You, your face?" Tang Yulong murmured!
"Mr. Lang, you are not dreaming, I am really healing! There is no poisonous sore on your body!"
two returned to Tang Yulong's hometown and held a grand wedding again.
A month later, the young couple bid farewell to their parents and took a dozen servants to the deep pool where Su Xiaowan jumped down that day.
Tang Yulong ordered the servants to fill the pool of water with wooden barrels and put them on the carriage. After all the eight or two carriages were loaded, they arrived at Huangsha Town without stopping.
The couple speculated that the water in the deep pool could cure the strange poison. This time they tried their best to bring back the Bachetan Water to treat the local young woman.
The fact is just as they expected. As long as they take a bath in pool water, even if they are covered with poisonous sores, they will be cured immediately.
For a moment, the local villagers regarded the two as living Bodhisattvas, and only wanted to pull them to the altar to offer sacrifices.
Tang Yulong came to the manor again to pay homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The two old men were a little embarrassed at first, but when they saw that their son-in-law did not mention the past, they slowly felt relieved.
After staying in Huangsha Town for half a year, the two returned to Tang Yulong's hometown. Since then, the couple has been with each other day, lovingly and lovingly, and both lived to their 90s before they died without success!
