ming There was a man named Qin Muchuan, who was a woodcutter. His parents died early, and Qin Muchuan became an orphan at the age of six. Seeing that he was pitiful, my uncle Qin Wu took him to his home to raise him.
Qin Wu is a farmer who married Cai from the neighboring village. However, after years of marriage, there is still no child or daughter. The couple is kind-hearted and not wealthy in the family, but they regard Qin Muchuan as their own.
Qin Muchuan is very well-behaved and sensible, and always secretly follows Qin Wu to the fields to help with work. However, he was always driven home by Qin Wu. Seeing this, Qin Muchuan stayed at home and helped Cai do housework within his ability.
Later, Cai got pregnant as he wished and successfully gave birth to a boy, named Qin Mulin, and the whole family was very happy.
Qin Muchuan is nearly ten years older than his cousin and often helps take care of his cousin. The two brothers have a good relationship, like brothers.
Qin Wu and his wife did not change their attitude towards Qin Muchuan because of the birth of their own son, and they were as good as ever to him.
Qin Muchuan grew up a little, so he followed the villagers up the mountain to chop wood to supplement the family income.
Unexpectedly, one year, Qin Mulin fell seriously ill. At that time, there was a strong wind outside, and Qin Muchuan refused to listen to the advice and went to invite the doctor in the wind.
Fortunately, Wang Langzhong was a kind-hearted person, so he followed Qin Muchuan to his home to treat Qin Mulin. In order to treat his son, Qin Wu spent all his family's savings and even borrowed a lot of money.
Under the careful care of his family, Qin Mulin's body gradually recovered from health. However, the family's originally struggling life has become increasingly difficult.
In order to increase the family's income, Qin Muchuan got up early and went to the mountain to chop wood. Later, Qin Muchuan became a woodcutter.
The village where Qin Muchuan is located is mostly simple, but only the local wealthy He family.
He Fu is rich, but he is stingy and stingy and deducts wages. Everyone who worked in He's house scolded him behind his back.
There was a severe drought in one year and the fields were cracked. He Furen kept his own granary, not to mention letting him open a warehouse to provide disaster relief, he would not even sell someone to spend money to buy grain. The villagers complained about the He family.
However, He Minglan, the only daughter of He Furen, is well-educated, gentle and quiet. She often advised her father, but it was useless.
In Qinmuchuan, the He family is one of them. He would send firewood to the He family every few days.
Soon, Qin Muchuan reached the age of marriage. However, Qin Wu and his wife couldn't afford to pay him a kiss and felt very guilty.
Qin Muchuan often comforts them, thanks them for their raising, and says that as long as the family is safe, it is enough.
When it comes to Qin Muchuan, the villagers praise it. He is kind and helpful. Whenever anyone needs help, as long as he can help, he will definitely help.
In the summer of this year, neighboring villages suffered floods, fields were flooded, houses were destroyed, and people were displaced.
For several consecutive days, it was also raining in the village where Qin Muchuan was located. The rain was particularly heavy this day. He felt that the situation was not good and hurriedly asked his family to run up the mountain.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Muchuan knocked on the door from house to house and asked them to go to the mountain to shelter from the rain. He chops wood on the mountain all year round and is more familiar with the situation on the mountain.
Under his leadership, the villagers settled in several caves. Not long after the villagers evacuated, the flood indeed flooded their village. Although the conditions in the cave were difficult, fortunately everyone saved their lives. Everyone is very grateful to Qin Muchuan for this.
Only when the heavy rain stopped and the flood receded, the villagers returned to the village and rebuilt their homes.Unexpectedly, a month later, a plague broke out in the village.
This plague is very dangerous, and the doctor in the village cannot find a way to treat it for the time being. More and more people are infected with the plague and can only wait for death at home.
Qin Wu and his wife and Qin Mulin were weak in resistance and were also infected with the plague. Qin Muchuan covers his mouth and nose with cotton cloth every day and takes care of them at home.
Due to the lack of medicinal materials, Qin Muchuan could only go to the mountain to collect herbs and continue his family's lives as much as possible.
On this day, Qin Muchuan went to the mountain to collect herbs. Compared to the past, he went a long way this time. Unexpectedly, when he went down the mountain, he saw a dying little white snake in the grass on the roadside. I saw the little snake lying there motionlessly with wounds all over.
Qin Muchuan couldn't bear it and stepped forward to check its injuries. Then, he grabbed some of the herbs he picked, mashed them with stones, and applied them to the wound of the snake.
After all this, he said to the little snake, "I don't know if this can save you. I hope you can get better soon." After that, Qin Muchuan got up and left, continuing to walk home.
After returning home, Qin Muchuan covered his mouth and nose and continued to decoct medicine to take care of his family. He was busy until late at night before going to bed.
In order to prevent infection, Qin Muchuan has been sleeping in the woodshed. After a day of fatigue, he soon fell asleep.
In a trance, Qin Muchuan heard a few screams. He woke up suddenly and hurried to check it out.
After knocking on the door, he entered his uncle's room, but found that his uncle, aunt and cousin were all bitten by snakes.
Qin Muchuan looked in the direction pointed by his uncle and found a white snake with a sizeable mouth on the ground, staring at him straight.
Qin Muchuan didn't think much about it, and picked up the broom standing by the door and was about to hit the white snake.
At this moment, the white snake was heard saying, "Benefactor, I am saving your family's life."
After listening, Qin Muchuan's arms suddenly froze and he looked at the white snake in surprise.
It turns out that this white snake is the mother of the little white snake rescued by Qin Muchuan. During the day, the mother and son accidentally met an enemy, and the mother snake was forced to leave the little white snake, which led to the little white snake being injured. Fortunately, Qin Muchuan rescued him, and the female snake was very grateful.
The toxins carried by the female snake itself happen to resolve the virus from this plague. When he learned that Qin Muchuan's family was infected with the plague, the female snake followed him home and took his family a bite at night. In this way, save his family.
At this moment, the Qin family, who were originally exhausted and unable to get out of bed, suddenly felt refreshed and gradually recovered their strength. The family thanked her repeatedly, thanking the female snake for her life-saving grace.
House snake was about to say goodbye and leave, but was blocked by Qin Muchuan. He immediately knelt down and said, "Snake Fairy, I have a heartless request. Since you can cure this plague, can you please be kind and save other villagers?"
"The young master is indeed a human being, and he will definitely do something in the future." Then, the female snake gave Qin Muchuan a few pieces of snake scales and asked him to cook it into a soup with several other medicinal herbs, so that patients infected with the plague could take it for three days.
The next day, Qin Muchuan went to the doctor's house to find the medicinal herbs, put them together with snake scales to make soup and distribute them to infected villagers.
Just as Qin Muchuan was about to send the medicine to the He family, he was stopped by several villagers. Everyone thinks that He Furen should not give the decoction to the He family when he treats villagers like this.
Qin Muchuan said: "Life is at stingy, these are two things. Besides, although He Furen is stingy, his daughter is a pure-hearted person. She often goes to the temple to give gifts to many poor people. I believe that after this, He Furen will change."
Then, Qin Muchuan still delivered the medicine to the He family.
Just like that, Qin Muchuan saved all the patients in the village with the help of the female snake. Everyone unanimously recommended him to become the new village chief, and under his leadership, the villagers rebuilt their homes.
He Furen is grateful to Qin Muchuan for his righteousness, changed his past stinginess, and paid for modifying the river channel and reclaiming wasteland. After that, the village no longer has to worry about flooding.
Later, He Furen admired Qin Muchuan's character, and knew that his daughter was interested in him, so he betrothed his daughter to him, and the two chose a date to get married. After getting married, Qin Muchuan and Minglan were very loving, supported each other, and were very filial to their elders, and lived a happy and stable life from then on.
