Xu Dayong is a merchandiser. Every day, he brought some goods from the city and took them to the countryside to sell them, so as to earn the difference and make a living.
On the afternoon of July that year, Xu Dayong sold out the goods, carried an empty load, and walked towards home happily. When he walked to the willow forest, five miles away from his home, he saw an old man selling cold water in the forest, sitting under the shade of the tree to cool off.
Since Xu Dayong brought water to his door every day, he was not thirsty. When he passed by the old man, he had no intention of buying tea. The old man seemed not to want to miss every opportunity to make money, so he quickly stood up and greeted with a smile, "Where are the guests coming from? It must be hot, right? Come and have some tea before leaving."
"Thank you, I'm not thirsty." Xu Dayong looked sideways and found that the old man had a knife in his smile, with a faint murderous aura in his eyes, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace. Seeing this, the old man quickly said, "I'll give you tea for free, it's free. Don't leave the guests!"
"Don't drink it for free!" Xu Dayong felt more and more suspicious about the old man, and he wanted to leave here as soon as possible, so he said without looking back.
"I kindly keep you for tea, but you ignore me. You are so rude!" Suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing a hat and holding a big knife jumped out of the deep grass beside the road. Xu Dayong was frightened after eating, and hurriedly stopped, pulled out the shoulder pole and held it in his hand, staring at the two of them carefully and said, "It's fake to sell tea, is it true, right?"
"Did you see this?" The old man smiled wickedly, revealing the tail of fox . The middle-aged man raised his head and laughed loudly: "We not only want to rob you, but also your people!"
"I have only seen women who robbed them, but never men who robbed them. Tell me, what do you want to do?" Xu Dayong calmed down and found that the two of them had no accomplices anymore, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You drink a bowl of tea, after a few hours, I will naturally tell you what we want to do." The old man smiled sinisterly and mixed a cup of yellow tea, preparing to hand it to Xu Dayong. Xu Dayong's face sterned and he looked at him with anger, "What if I don't drink it?"
The middle-aged man raised the big knife in his hand and said, "Then I want you to lose your appetite and you will take care of it!"
"Then let's gesture to see if it's your knife powerful or my shoulder pole powerful." Xu Dayong was not out of weakness, waved the shoulder pole in his hand, and rushed forward with a loud shout. Because this kid was born tall and big, and the other person's height was not as tall as his shoulders, and he had practiced some fist and foot skills since he was a child, he soon knocked the middle-aged man to the ground. Seeing that his accomplice was defeated, the old man was so scared that he carried the tea load and ran out of the woods.
Seeing that he was old, Xu Dayong didn't want to be calculating with him. He only stepped on the middle-aged man's back and asked, "With your ability, do you still dare to rob me? Tell me quickly, did you rob me of a few people today?"
"No, I didn't rob me of the words. It was hot in the morning, and my father and I went out to do activities in the afternoon, and this was a forced one to go out to do such a thing that hurts the world. He is wrong, I'm sorry for you, so please give up a lot of me and let me go. I will never dare to harm others next time." The man used his strength for a while, but there was no effect. He had to give up resisting and couldn't help but beg Xu Dayong.
Xu Dayong glanced at him a few times and couldn't help asking him, "You guys have hands and feet. Even if you go to the city to do a hard work, you can earn a few cents to fill your stomach. Why do you have to do this kind of harming things?"
The man cried and said, "The hero doesn't know. My mother has been ill for a month, but her family is too poor to give her money to see her. Now seeing her is almost out of reach, my father and I are thinking about it. We must find some money to come back to see my mother."
"So you want to rob us and find medical expenses for your mother?" Hearing this, Xu Dayong was stunned. The big feet on the middle-aged man's back could not help but slowly move away.
"I, we don't want to do this either, but there is really nothing we can do. We can't watch my mother let go, right?" The man continued to cry and pretend to be pitiful. Xu Dayong felt a fever. He not only reached out to pull him up from the ground, but also took out dozens of cents from his body and said to him, "I only earned so much money and profit today. You can take it to your mother for medical treatment first. Remember, no matter how poor you are, you can't do such bad things anymore."
"Well, I understand, thank you, hero, goodbye." The man went happily after getting the money. Xu Dayong also took on the load again and went home.
Unexpectedly, before her butt was hot, the matchmaker Zhang, who was just talking about the matchmaker in the village, came to the door. Xu Dayong was a little angry when he saw Matchmaker Zhang, because she recognized money but not people. As long as she got the money, she would tie it up for you no matter what kind of crooked melons and dates, and talk about it together. Many families in the village who have daughters have been deceived by her and they are extremely disgusted with her. Only Xu Dayong's mother, Jiang, found matchmaker Zhang to match her son in order to save the introduction fee.
Zhang matchmaker got the benefits of Zhu Dayou, a native of Zhuzhuang, and was anxious to tell his daughter Zhuque, so she came to Jiang to discuss this day. Jiang didn't know that Suzaku had , Zhang Mazi face, but he knew that their family's conditions were pretty good. After hearing the matchmaker Zhang blew her up, she wanted to nod and agreed to the marriage.
But when Xu Dayong was selling goods, he had seen this Zhuque. He said that she was not only not good-looking, but also had a very irritable temper. Therefore, after he overheard the speech of matchmaker Zhang and his mother, he immediately pushed open the door and rushed in to chase the matchmaker Zhang and said, "You old woman, you are talking nonsense here again! If that Zhuque is really beautiful, how could she look down on poor families like us?"
Zhang's matchmaker was so scared that she ran away. My mother, Jiang, was so angry that she stamped her feet, "You little brat, why are you so rude to Aunt Zhang? Are you trying to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"
"Mom, I don't want you to be deceived by that Mrs. Zhang! To be honest, when I went to Zhuzhuang to sell goods half a year ago, I saw that Zhuque. Not only did I see her face full of pockmarks, but she also cursed her close maid in front of everyone-" After Xu Dayong's thoughtful explanation, Jiang was still a little angry, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't care about your affairs, it depends on when you will get married."
"Mom, I will find my wife, you don't have to worry." Xu Dayong saw that Jiang's oil and salt did not enter, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't care about you anymore. It depends on when you will get married."
"Mom, I will find my wife, you don't have to worry." Seeing that Jiang's oil and salt were not in, he didn't have to say much.
Soon, it got dark. Everyone in the village started to cook dinner. Seeing that there was no water in the jar, Xu Dayong picked up empty buckets and prepared to go to the entrance of the village to pick up two buckets of water and come back, and it would not be too late to cook dinner. Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I saw a young and beautiful woman wandering outside his house with a burden.
The woman saw Xu Dayong looking at her with her eyes curled up and hurriedly buried her head: "May I ask, brother, can I ask for some food? By the way, I haven't eaten for one day or a night."
"Yes, but you have to wait a while, there is no water in the jar and the supper has not been made yet. When I get the water back, how about pouring water for you to cook?" Xu Dayong saw that she was slim and looked a little pretty, and her heart was pounding. After hearing this, the woman quickly said, "Thank you, brother."
"No need to thank you." Xu Dayong smiled knowingly and quickly shouted at the door, "Mom, the guest is here, come out and greet you."
"No!" Jiang was angry and replied unceremoniously. The woman was embarrassed when she heard the voice, and couldn't help but blush and said, "Brother, there are people in her family? Me, am I taking the initiative to disturb me?"
"No, don't you take the initiative! There are only me and my mother at home. My father works in the city and only comes back once every six months. Don't be afraid! Let's go with me and take a rest first."In order to keep the woman, Xu Dayong quickly threw down the shoulder pole and empty bucket, grabbed the bag on her shoulder and took it home. Seeing that her son brought back a beautiful woman, Jiang greeted her with a smile.
After talking, Jiang learned that the woman's name was Xie E, from another county. Because her hometown was flooded and her parents died of illness, she was alone and came to the county town here to join. Her aunt. But she knew that her aunt had moved. She had searched for many days but couldn't find it, and her money was used up. In desperation, she had to beg all the way and prepare to go back to her parents' home to live.
Jiang saw that she was pitiful and wanted to pick up a daughter-in-law for free, so she enthusiastically kept her at home. Xie E hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm afraid I'll cause trouble for my mother and Brother Xu. "
" Hahaha, no trouble, no trouble. We will be a family in the future, so don’t be polite to us. "Jiang's smile was so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth. In order to entertain Xie E, she specially asked Xu Dayong to kill a chicken and make two good dishes that night.
Xie E was very adaptable. She quickly got along with the mother and son, not only helped Jiang do some needlework, but also helped Xu Dayong cook rice and stir-fry. Seeing that she was so diligent, Jiang and Xu Dayong were as happy as picking up treasures.
From Xie E to the Xu family, Xu Dayong felt concern and expectation in his heart. Therefore, he went out to buy goods before dawn every day. Before the afternoon, he basically sold out the goods and returned home to see Xie E.
Xie E seemed to be interested in Xu Dayong. Every time he had not come back, she would prepare the wash water and the wash handkerchief early. Xu Dayong and Jiang saw it and were happy in their hearts. After seven or eight days like this, Xu Dayong and Xie E got closer. Whenever they had the chance, they would gather together to say something that made people blush.
Jiang saw that these two people were just your affection and I was interested in it, and they were a pair made by heaven. So, after dinner that night, Xu Dayong went to the woodshed to wash dishes, Jiang said to Xie E: "Xiao Xie, you have been to our house for seven or eight days. What do you think of Dayong as a person? "
" Brother Dayong is kind-hearted and diligent, and he is not bad to me. He is a rare and good person. "Xie E returned without hesitation. Jiang smiled and said, "Since he is so good, how about you be his wife? "
"I, I have no objection, but I am terrible that Brother Dayong dislikes me that I have already married. "Xie E blushed and answered with a hint. Jiang said with a haha, "I asked him a long time ago. He said that as long as you live a good life with him in the future, he would not mind at all. "
" as long as he doesn't mind. "Xie E smiled and buried her head. Jiang was even more happy, and couldn't help but laugh, "Then it's decided. I'll go and choose a zodiac day for you tomorrow and get this done. I'll hold my grandson soon. ”
Xie E said: “It depends on the arrangements of my mother. "
The next morning, Jiang went to the temple to calculate the days. In the evening, she came back and hurriedly found Xu Dayong and Xie E and said, "I'll ask Master Huiyuan of the Great Buddha Temple to forget about you. There will be a zodiac auspicious day in six days. Then I will find the old man and get your marriage back. "
"Thank you, mom, I will go to my dad tomorrow, I know where he works. "Xu Dayong was about to become the groom, so happy that when he went to sell goods the next day, he said to everyone: "I'm getting married, so I'm happy to bless me." "
At noon that day, Xu Dayong came to Yutai Temple and gave sesame oil to the temple. As early as the afternoon before, the Taoist Master Void in the temple had agreed to Xu Dayong to ask him to help bring a bucket of sesame oil from the city. After Xu Dayong handed the oil to Taoist Master Void, he also told him the good news.
Taoist Master Void expressed his blessing to the boy, and then asked him with a smile: "It seems that matchmaker Zhang introduced a good family to Donor Xu this time, so donor Xu would be so happy."
Xu Dahai smiled and waved his hand, "Don't mention her, what she introduced to me was actually some crooked melons and I didn't even look down on it. This time I found it myself——"
" What, you found it myself? Did you encounter it when you sold the goods? "When a few little Taoists heard this, they all came over to ask for information with a smile. Xu Dahai couldn't suppress his inner joy, so he roughly told the scene of his acquaintance with Xie E. The little Taoist priest laughed at him for picking up treasures. Only Taoist Master Void frowned after hearing this and said, "How can there be so many free bargains in the world? Mr. Xu, let me ask you, have you ever asked about the origin of that girl Xie? As the saying goes, "Knowing people and their faces but not their hearts." I don't think it's too rush to do this. You should think twice before you act. "
" Taoist Master, don't worry, Miss Xie is kind-hearted and is definitely not a bad person. You don't have to worry about me. "Xu Dayong felt that this Taoist priest was a little meddling in other people's business, and even forgot to collect the money for incense and oil, so he carried the empty load and hurried down the mountain. Taoist Master Xukong learned that Xu Dayong would hold a wedding in the future, so he decided to go to Liuhua Village at that time.
A few days later, the old man Xu also came back. He and Jiang took out their savings over the years, invited several township chefs, set up more than 20 wedding banquets at home, and invited all the villagers in the village to have a wedding banquet.
That afternoon, Taoist Master Xukong came uninvited. Xu Dayong never expected that this Taoist would come to attend his wedding, and immediately kept him warmly to drink and eat mat. Taoist Master Xukong gave him the money for the indulgence and oil he should give him, then pulled him halfway, and said with a serious look: "If I told you not to marry your Miss Xie E today, you would definitely blame me in the future; now that the road is complete, I only have one piece of advice for you: From tomorrow, no matter that girl Xie, oh no, it should be your wife now. No matter what she says to you, don't accompany her to her parents' home. Remember to remember. "
" Taoist priest, my wife's family has no one, she will not go back, so you don't have to worry. "Xu Dayong smiled on the surface, but was still very uncomfortable in his heart: You old man, you have nothing to do for a day, you are actually in charge of nothing, you shouldn't have left you here to have a drink today.
is fine. Taoist Master Void saw through Xu Dayong's thoughts, so he did not have a shame to stay for a meal and drink. That night, Xu Dayong entered the bridal chamber and couldn't wait to have sex with Xie E. Xie E frowned, covered her lower abdomen, and said with pain: "Husband, I've been having a menstrual period. Now dysmenorrhea is in severe pain. You must never have sex with me. If you really love me, don't touch me within seven days. After I leave this month, I will definitely serve you well. "
" OK. "Although Xu Dayong felt a little disappointed, out of his love for Xie E, he still resisted the desire in his heart. After a few days, Xu Dayong thought Xie E's menstrual affairs were about to be over, so he wanted to keep warm with her in the evening. Unexpectedly, after breakfast that morning, Xie E suddenly said to Xu Dayong: "Dayong, don't go to sell goods today, please accompany me to my parents' home for a walk. "
" Why do you have to go back to your parents' home? Madam, isn’t there no one in your family? "Xu Dayong was shocked.
Xie E said slowly: "My mother's house is indeed no one, but my mother's grave is still there. Last night, she told me that she was alone there and wanted me to move her grave to you. Dayong, you can pity her and accompany me for a while. "As he said that, Xie E actually shed a few tears in emotion.
Xu Dayong saw this and quickly said pity: "Don't cry, my wife, it's rare that you have such filial piety, I promise you. ”
After saying that, he stroked his sleeves and wiped the tears from Xie E's face. When Jiang learned about this, he thought Xie E was filial, so he did not obstruct the two of them.However, just as he was leaving, Xu Dayong suddenly remembered the words of Taoist Master Void, and he was still surprised: Why didn’t the old Taoist Bull’s nose want me to accompany my wife to her parents’ home? What a strange thing!
"Dayong, what are you thinking? If you don't want to, stay at home and let me go back alone." When going out, Xie E saw that Xu Dayong was a little absent-minded, so she advised him again. Xu Dayong was still thinking about having sex with her at night, and quickly said, "How come you can go back alone? You are my wife. I should follow you wherever you go."
In this way, Xu Dayong followed Xie E on the journey of "returning to her parents' home". The two walked along the mountain road for two hours, but Xie E didn't even want to stop. Xu Dayong couldn't help asking, "Madam, where is your mother's home? Going forward, we are afraid we will leave the territory of Yangcheng."
"It's almost there, right in the middle of the mountain." Xie E casually pointed to a family hiding in the deep mountains. When Xu Dayong saw that there was still white smoke rising from the chimney of the family, he was surprised again: Didn’t she say there was no one in her family? Why is there still a fire in life at this time? Gradually, Xu Dayong had more and more doubts in his heart, but he did not say it out loud.
Soon after, the two finally walked to the house in the mountains. Xie E walked into the room, found the water and the cup with great care, poured a glass of water for Xu Dayong and said, "Husband, you have walked so far, you must be thirsty. Drink this glass of water to relieve thirst."
"Okay." Xu Dayong picked up the cup and found that the cup was warm, which means that Xie E poured him a cup of hot water. In this way, someone must have been in this room just now. So why didn’t Xie E let that person come out to meet the guests? Has there been no one living in this room for a long time and there have been thieves? impossible! Because these thatched huts seem to have no valuable items to steal.
In this way, Xie E has a problem! No wonder the Taoist Master Void told himself: Never accompany her to her parents’ home!
"Husband, what are you thinking? Drink water quickly!" Seeing Xu Dayong holding the quilt and refusing to drink water for a long time, Xie E was a little anxious. Seeing her anxious look, Xu Dayong couldn't help but sneer: "This tea is yellow, exactly the same as what I saw in the willow forest last time, so there should be something wrong with this tea?"
Xie E said: "Husband, what are you talking about? How could this tea have a problem? This tea is chrysanthemum tea, it will be yellow when brewed."
Xu Dayong stared at her and said: "Okay, even if this is chrysanthemum tea, I'll ask you-Isn't there no one in your family? Who is that Where is the hot water burned? "
"This—this——" Xie E saw that she could not justify herself, so she had to clap her hands and said, "Since he knows everything, don't hide it!" As soon as she finished speaking, four men came out of two thatched huts, two of them were the ones Xu Dayong met in Liushulin more than half a month ago and wanted to rob him. The other two men holding sharp weapons should be their accomplices.
Xu Dayong was inevitably surprised when he saw the middle-aged man he beaten: "I didn't expect you to be in the same group, and I didn't expect you to give up and want to rob me? But I didn't bring any money today."
"If you don't have money, then I will sell you as money!" The middle-aged man seemed to have forgotten that he was the defeated man under Xu Dayong. Xu Dayong expected that he could not escape, so he had to calm down and asked calmly, "I have only heard of selling women and children, but I have never sold adult men. Is it because you have made the wrong idea?"
"No wrong idea! They really want to sell you! If you sell a middle-aged man like you to a Hu people as a slave, you can sell it for a good price." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind Xu Dayong.Xu Dayong couldn't help but look back and saw that Taoist Priest Void stood behind him at some point. He asked in surprise and joy, "Master, why are you here?"
Taoist Priest Void stroked his beard and smiled, "If I don't come, who will save you?"
It turned out that this group of thieves specialize in robbing money and selling human lives. First, they targeted the tall single man, then stepped on the spot, ready to use tea with sweating pills to make them faint, then tied them up and put them in sacks, transported them to the border, and sold them to the Hu people as slaves. If the plan is not implemented well, they will send Xie E to pretend to be in trouble and marry the single man. Then, using the excuse of returning to their parents' home, they will trick him into their place, and then find a way to tie him up and send him to the border.
A few days ago, Taoist Master Void found out the details of these people and knew that Xie E had used the same method to deceive several men. So when she used her old trick again and deceived Xu Dayong again, he quietly followed the two of them to this place where there was no village or shop in front of the village or behind. Several thieves thought that Taoist Master Void was just a stinky Taoist priest, but they didn't know that he was actually a martial arts master who was hidden deep. He only danced the whisk in his hand a few times, and then the four men surrendered.
After Xu Dahai learned the truth, he thanked the Principal of the Void again and again. However, Xie E and the thieves did all the bad things and were eventually punished accordingly.
This story tells us: something abnormal will happen. It is impossible to fall from the sky Lin Meimei ! When dealing with major marriages, you must be very cautious, otherwise you will be in trouble when you meet a liar like Xie E, or even someone who eats people and doesn't spit out bones.
