During the Qing Dynasty, there was a woman named Jing Jingjing in Chaoyang. Her husband was a woodcutter. Two years ago, while climbing the mountain to chop wood, he accidentally fell into the cliff. He has not found his body yet. Jing Jingjing did not remarry and lived at home with her father-in-law. Old man Xiao was over fifty years old, but she was in good health.
One day, Jing Jingjing went to attend a wedding banquet. On the way, a villager came behind her and patted her on the shoulder, claiming that Jing Jingjing's husband had returned from the dead and had returned home, so that Jing Jingjing would go back and take a look.
Jing Jingjing was overjoyed. It was already evening after the wedding banquet. She quickly walked towards her way home, passing by a dense forest.
Old Man Xiao came out to greet Jing Jingjing. His figure appeared in the forest path. Jing Jingjing accelerated her pace and walked towards Old Man Xiao. When she walked to Old Man Xiao, a beggar appeared on the side, blocking her way and asking her to run away quickly, claiming that Old Man Xiao was not a human.
Jing Jingjing was unhappy at the time. She thought that the beggar was scolding Old Man Xiao but unexpectedly, when Old Man Xiao arrived in front of Jingjing, she suddenly tore off a skin from her face, revealing a rotten face. Jing Jingjing was so scared that she lost her appearance and retreated repeatedly.
At this time, the beggar stood in front of Jing Jingjing with his arms open, preventing the evil ghost from approaching Jingjing. He also used a crutch to beat the evil ghost until he repelled the evil ghost. Only then did he tell Jing Jingjing the "truth" out of breath.
2 months ago, the Zhongyuan Festival , the gate of ghost was wide open, and an evil ghost ran out of hell and forgot to go back. Since then, he has been wandering in the village. He is greedy and lustful. When he meets a girl with some beauty, he will turn into a villager, lust and lust, and lust, lust, and lust, he will tempt the girl to somewhere, and then take the opportunity to capture the girl and detain him in his nest.
Several girls in the village were attacked, causing panic. However, Jing Jingjing usually stayed at home and did not go out. She did not know the situation outside and did not know about this.
The beggar stayed on the streets all year round, and the village was clear about the movements. Just now, he encountered Jing Jingjing coming back in a hurry, and realized something was wrong, so he came up to stop him. After the matter, Jing Jingjing invited the beggar home to visit, held a banquet to entertain him, and regarded him as his life-savior. When Old Man Xiao learned about what happened to Jing Jingjing, he also expressed his gratitude to the beggar and took out all the good wine he had treasured for fifty years to entertain the beggar.
Beggar had enough food and drank, and patrolled the scenery in the room. When Jing Jingjing returned to her room to rest, Old Man Xiao went to the thatched cottage. He began to search for the things in the room, found fifty taels of silver and hid it in his pocket, pretending to be nothing but to leave.
Old man Xiao came back from the cottage and found that his home was in a mess and he lost fifty taels of silver. He went outside and looked at the beggar. He noticed that the matter was strange, so he stopped the beggar.
Beggar generously admitted that he stole money, and claimed that his money could not be considered stealing, and was the life-saving money for Jing Jingjing. Fifty taels of silver were considered small, and he even asked Old Man Xiao for another fifty taels of taels.
Old Man Xiao was so angry that he wanted to grab the money back, but his leg was broken by a beggar. If it weren't for the villagers who discovered them and stopped the beggar's evil deeds in time, Old Man Xiao's life would be worrying.
Although the villagers rescued Old Man Xiao, they did not rob Mr. Xiao of his money. They kindly took Old Man Xiao to the clinic, cured his broken leg and sent it home. Old Man Xiao told Jing Jingjing about this.
Jing Jingjing was very surprised when she learned about it. She sued the beggar's affairs and wanted to check the beggar's background, but she unexpectedly helped the government solve a case.
The people in the government discovered the whereabouts of the beggar and did not directly capture the beggar. Instead, they followed the beggar and found that the beggar was scattered in the wind and miserable scene at night, and knelt on the street during the day, which was more appropriate to say that they were looking for beautiful women.
There is an evil ghost in the hands of the beggar, who pretends to be the old man Xiao. The beggar uses bone flute to control the evil ghost to do whatever he wants and cheat everywhere. The evil ghost pretends to be a bad person to lure the beauty into the bait. The beggar hero saves the beauty, either coaxes the beauty to her nest and takes it for herself, or tries to get money from the beauty.
That day, the beggar was not satisfied with Jing Jingjing's reward with a meal, so he took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the room and stole the money from the house.
After he figured out the beggar's method of committing crimes, the government arrested him and tortured him. He also learned from the beggar that he was once a Taoist priest, who could control evil spirits, and forced him to confess the lair of the beautiful women from him, rescued ten beauties, and returned them all to their own homes. Old Man Xiao’s fifty taels of silver were all returned to the original owner.
In fact, this case was reported a month ago, but everyone turned their attention to the evil ghosts, thinking that it was a simple evil spirit, but no one suspected the beggar on the street. After the truth of the incident emerged, the beggar was killed by stick in the hall. The evil ghost was not willing to do evil things with the beggar. It was just that it was manipulated by the beggar and that it caused a big mistake and was saved.
Later, Old Man Xiao felt that it was not a solution to keep his daughter-in-law widowed, so he found a good-looking man for her. After marriage, Jing Jingjing and her new husband took care of Old Man Xiao together.
