In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Xiangyang Prefecture walked a hundred miles southeast, and there was a Sujia Village. There was a crying slope to the west of the village, which was five meters high. There was a nine-foot square flat ground on the top of the slope, and a widow's tomb in the middle.
Every late at night, there will always be sounds of ghosts and howlings from the top of the slope. The villagers will lock the doors at night and will never go out.
Crying slope was not originally called Crying slope, but Hanxiaopo. As long as the villagers have daughters, they will insert an Hanxiaopo on the slope, which means that their daughter will always smile and have a happy marriage in the future.
However, on one night twenty years ago, a grave suddenly appeared on the top of the slope, and a monument was erected beside the monument, with seven big words engraved on it: Ninety-nine can't take action. No one knows what the seven words
meant?
There is a poor scholar in the village named Su Heju. His parents died early. They herded cattle with their grandfather since they were young and barely made a living.
When he was fifteen years old, Su Heju's grandfather passed away, and his life became even more difficult. When the villagers saw him, they either hid far away or came forward to tease him, and few of them helped him.
Su Heju, who has been bullied since childhood, was determined to get fame and fortune, but he failed many times. When he was thirty years old, he was still a bachelor.
On a day, Su He raised a cow near the Howling Slope, holding a book in his hand, shaking his head and reading.
When he was reading it in a daze, a small stone suddenly hit his neck.
"Oh!" Su Heju then covered his neck with his left hand and looked around.
But I saw two people walking not far away, holding slingshots in their hands, talking and laughing.
Su He raised his eyes and found that it was the son of the landlord’s family, Bai Jinbao and his servant Lei Ren.
"Su Daizi, I'm still thinking about taking the exam, but I'm afraid that if you take the exam for a few more years, you won't even be able to marry a widow." Bai Jinbao laughed.
"Platinum, don't bully people too much! Why do you hit me with a slingshot?" Su Heju said angrily.
Bai Jinbao laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "Su Daizi, don't be wronged by good people. I, Bai, only hit animals with a slingshot, never hit people."
Su He raised his hands and his hands were clenched into fists, his veins storm up, and his teeth were pounding, and he could rush up to hit him at any time.
At this moment, Lei Ren blocked Bai Jinbao's body, but saw him nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, standing there, like a ghost in the underworld.
"Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated!" As soon as he finished speaking, Su Heju rushed over.
Just heard the sound of "ah", Su Heju fell down in response.
"Just you? Hahaha..." Lei Ren laughed loudly, "I am as thin as a chicken, but I dare to do it first."
Bai Jinbao saw this and hurriedly walked to Su Heju and said with a smile: "Su Daizi, please stay away from Widow Jiao next door. She is my dish."
"Bah! So shameless, you have married five families and want to occupy Miss Jiao." Su Heju said furiously.
"Oh! Miss Jiao, it seems that you are infatuated with her! Otherwise, if you promise me a condition, I will no longer care about your Miss Jiao." Bai Jinbao said sarcastically.
"What conditions?" Su Heju asked hurriedly.
Bai Jinbao pointed to the crying slope in the west and sneered, "If you sleep on the top of the crying slope, I will stay away from your Miss Jiao."
Su He listened to the crying slope, his face changed drastically, and thought to himself, "When my grandfather was alive, he repeatedly told me not to climb the crying slope, saying that there are evil ghosts on it and that they can eat people. Now, this guy actually asked me to sleep on the top of the slope for a sleep. , Didn’t this intentionally harm me? "
Bai Jinbao saw that he didn’t say anything, and quickly exclaimed him: "What a coward. It seems that Miss Jiao is mine!"
" Wait!" Su Heju said quickly, "Let me think about it tonight and give you a correct letter tomorrow."
" OK! One word is certain." Bai Jinbao finished speaking and turned around and left.
Lei Ren glared at Su He fiercely and left with him.
If you have something, you will be long, and if you have nothing, you will be short. In the blink of an eye, it is already night.
Su Heju was having dinner at home when he suddenly heard a noise from Widow Jiao’s house next door, so he immediately got up and walked quickly.
"Miss Jiao, aren't you afraid of being alone at night? I happened to have time tonight." Bai Jinbao said, walking towards her.
"Don't come here!" Widow Jiao stopped him loudly, then picked up a pair of scissors from the table, "Come on again, I'm going to do it."
"Come on! Get it! Just pierce it here!" Bai Jinbao pointed to his stomach and smiled obscenely.
"You... don't come here again!" Widow Jiao said nervously.
Just then, Su Heju arrived when he heard the sound and shouted outside the door: "Platinum, what do you want to do?"
Platinum was shocked by the sudden sound and almost fell down.
Su Heju took advantage of the situation and ran to Widow Jiao and prevented Platinum from getting close to her.
"Hahaha..." Bai Jinbao laughed, "I guessed that you two had a love affair. I want to tell the patriarch to soak you two in pig cage ."
"Bah! The thief shouted to catch the thief!" Su Heju cursed, "If it weren't for your ill-conspiracy, could I come over? I'm afraid that you will be the one who soaks the chute."
"Hahaha..." Bai Jinbao laughed wildly again and said, "Do you think the patriarch will listen to you?"
"Bai Jinbao, don't forget what you said during the day." Su Heju reminded.
"Of course I haven't forgotten!" Bai Jinbao replied immediately, "But you didn't go to the crying slope to have a sleep."
"Okay! I'll go now, I hope you don't come to cause trouble for Miss Jiao again in the future." Su He said firmly.
Wife Jiao heard the crying and said to Su Heju, "Brother Su, don't go! It's too dangerous!"
"Miss Jiao, you go to Liu Po's house to sleep tonight. After tonight, Bai Jinbao will not dare to harass you again." Su Heju said.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Bai Jinbao said quickly, "Su Daizi, go quickly!"
Bai Jinbao's left foot just stepped out of the threshold and suddenly stopped. He turned around and said, "Su Daizi, I want to see you go up with my own eyes and send someone to guard below. Don't want to run down in the middle of the night."
Su He raised his eyes and sneered, "A gentleman's words are as good as the horse, so how can he go back on his word? I'm afraid you don't keep your word."
"As long as you go up and have a sleep, my young master Bai will keep his word." Bai Jinbao patted his chest and said readily.
Su Heju sent Widow Jiao to Liu Po's house, and went straight to the Crying Slope, and crawled towards the top of the slope under the eyes of Bai Jinbao and everyone.
Su Heju had just climbed two feet high when suddenly a sound of ghosts and wolves cried from the top of the slope. He scared his feet so much that he slipped and rolled down. Fortunately, he was blocked by an Smiling Tree .
Platinum and everyone under the slope were so scared that they ran ten feet away after hearing the strange sound.
"Lei Ren, go to the bottom of the slope and watch it, don't let that Su Daizi slip away." Bai Jinbao ordered panting.
Although Lei Ren is tall and big, he is extremely frightened and does not want to go at all.
Bai Jinbao saw that he didn't move and said angrily, "If you don't go, don't go to my house."
Lei Ren immediately took people there. After all, Bai Jinbao would give him a few taels of silver every month, but if anyone else would definitely not.
But Su He said that after slid down, he mustered up the courage to climb up. Fortunately, it was fifteen tonight. As long as you look carefully, you can still see the road clearly.
About half a stick of incense, Su Heju climbed to the top of the slope, and there was indeed an open space on it, a tomb in the middle of the open space, and a monument was standing next to it.
"I can't go back tonight. Instead of being a turtle, it's better to be generous." Thinking of this, Su Heju slowly walked towards the grave.
"Ninety-nine can't take action." Su Heju read casually, "What does this mean? Do you think that 99 taels of silver are too little and cannot take action? Or..."
At this moment, the howling of ghosts and wolves came again, with a loud sound. Su Heju was not afraid this time, but looked for it in the direction of the sound.
Not long after, Su Heju found that there was a hole two-wide on the back of the slope, covered with weeds. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.
"The sound comes from here. Do you want to go down and take a look?" Su Heju thought to himself.
"Young Master Su, I'm so unfair to die! Come down and save me." Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the hole.
Su Heju was startled by the sudden sound, his feet slipped and fell down.
"Ah!" Su He shouted.
Bai Jinbao, Lei Ren and others at the bottom of the slope heard this shrill shout and ran home desperately.
After Su He fell down, he did not fall, but slowly landed on the ground, which made him feel very strange.
"Young Master!" Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind, sweet.
Su Heju turned around immediately, but saw a woman in white walking over. She was about twenty years old, with a face like powder, beautiful and extraordinary, just like the Chang'e in the sky, and the Xishi in the world.
"Who are you?" Su Heju said nervously.
"Young master, don't be afraid, my name is Lu Yue'e." The woman in white said, "Can you help me resolve the grievances?"
Su Heju has a narrow mind. Now that she sees the woman begging like this, how could she not agree?
"Yes!" Su Heju replied immediately, "What's wrong with Miss Lu? But it's okay."
Lu Yue'e saw that he was so happy, and said, "Twenty-two years ago, I married Su Jiu's family in Sujia Village. Unfortunately, my husband's life was weak and he died half a year later. Later, when I was chopping wood, I met Jiao Dahai in the neighboring village. After a while, the two of them got along. After the pearl fetus was secretly married, Jiao Dahai was about to marry me home. Unexpectedly, he was bitten to death by a wild beast during a chopping wood. Jiao Dahai went to After the death, I went back to my mother's house to raise my baby. After all, it was not good to spread this. After the child was born, I didn't want to go back, but no one took care of my mother Su Jiu, and I couldn't bear it, so I went back again. "
Speaking of this, Lu Yue'e wiped away the tears in her eyes and continued, "After going back, the landlord Bai He went to me for nothing, saying that he wanted to take me as his concubine, but I refused to do so. There were frequent quarrels about this. Su Jiu's mother was kicked to death by him in an argument."
Lu Yue'e stopped again, covered her face and cried.
Su Heju wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only watch her cry quietly.
Soon, Lu Yue'e stopped crying and continued, "I knew that the old thief Baihe would definitely come to me, so I begged Su Yi in the village to carve a monument for me, with only seven big words "Ninety-nine can't take action" on it. If an accident happened, he asked him to bury me on the top of Hanxiao slope. Su Yi asked me why, but I didn't tell him because I was afraid of implicating him. The next night, Baihe came indeed. In order to maintain chastity, I hit the wall and died."
"Miss Lu, what do the seven words mean?" Su He raised his mouth.
"Ninety-nine, it is 'hundred' to remove 'one', which is called 'white'. Take and remove 'hand', which is called 'joint'." Lu Yue'e explained.
Su Heju suddenly realized and said, "Miss Lu is still smart. If he had written the name of the landlord Bai He, he would have smashed the tombstone long ago."
"Mr. Su, I have a red bellyband with my name embroidered on it, and a golden hairpin with the words 'Golden and Jade Good Fortune' on it." Lu Yue'e said, handing it to him.
Su Heqi took it, his face turned red. This was the first time in his life that he saw a woman's red bellyband.
Lu Yue'e blushed when she saw him blushing, and quickly explained: "Young Master Su, tomorrow is the 60th birthday of the landlord Bai He. Give him this red bellyband. As long as he sees it, it can resolve my grievances."
"Oh!" Su He raised her.
"That golden hairpin is for you. I hope you will give it to your beloved girl. As long as the girl wears it, no bad person will hurt her. As long as you make a mistake, you will suffer."
Su He thought to himself: "With it, I will no longer be afraid that Platinum Bao will harass Miss Jiao."
"Young Master, this is a wooden box with a red bellyband, made of pear blossom wood . You put your bellyband inside, otherwise the snobbish landlord will not accept it.Remember, make sure to let him open it to watch at night. "Lu Yue'e reminded.
"Remember, Miss Lu. "Su Heju agreed.
"It's getting late, it's time for you to go back. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman disappeared. Su Heju blinked and arrived outside the cave. At this time, it was dawn.
Su Heju rubbed his eyes, then looked at the red bellyband and golden hairpin in his hand, and believed it without doubt. After he stuffed the red bellyband and golden hairpin into his arms, he went down the slope.
Su Heju just reached the bottom of the slope, he saw Widow Jiao, which made him very excited.
"Brother Su, are you okay? "Widow Jiao caringly said.
"It's okay! "Su Heju said proudly, "Isn't it just a night of sleep?" It's not that I live there every day. "
"Brother Su, you are so good! "Wife Jiao said softly.
Su He looked around and saw that there was no one, so he mustered up the courage and said, "Miss Jiao, what do you think of me? "
"Are you? "Widow Jiao said shyly, "You are a big fool. "
After hearing this, Su He was stunned. He seemed to be unable to understand the voice-over of Widow Jiao.
Wife Jiao saw that he didn't speak, and directly pointed it out and said with a blushing face: "Brother Su, I have no father or mother, and there is no one in my husband's family. If you don't dislike me, I am willing to marry you, are you willing? "
After Su He heard this, the clouds and mist dissipated on his face, and he showed a sunny smile.
"I do! "Su He raised his head and took out the golden hairpin from his arms, "Miss Jiao, this golden hairpin is our token of love, I will wear it for you now. "
Su He approached Widow Jiao and carefully inserted the golden hairpin into her bun. Under the reflection of the rising sun, it looked brilliant and dazzling.
"Miss Jiao, today is the 60th birthday of Bai Landlord. I am going to do a big thing, you go home first. Remember, as long as I am not here, don’t take off the golden hairpin on my head, it will protect you. "Su He raised his head.
Widow Jiao nodded and said, "Yeah, I remember, Brother Su. "
chapters were divided into two ends. The landlord Bai He was greeting the guests at the door. His son Bai Jinbao was on his right and followed him to welcome guests.
Not long after, the house was full of guests. Fortunately, the yard was big. If it were an ordinary family, it would have been crowded.
Bai Jinbao saw someone coming in front of him, and it seemed familiar. He quickly rubbed his eyes and looked closely and found that it was Su Heju.
"What's this little bastard here for? "White Landlord said, looking at his son beside him.
Who knew that Bai Jinbao's legs kept shaking, and his body trembled, as if he was swaying.
"Jinbao, what's wrong with you? The first time I saw so many gifts, are you too nervous? Take your time and you will get used to it later. "The White Landlord said happily.
While speaking, Su Heju had walked up to them.
"Mr. Bai, I wish you good fortune as East China Sea and longevity as long as the South Mountain. "Su Heju smiled.
The white landlord thought he was here to eat and drink, and said contemptuously: "Heju, you need to give gifts when you eat. What have you brought? "
" Mr. Bai, I brought a good thing. Open it to see it at night and make sure you are satisfied! "Su He raised his head and took out a pear blossom box from his arms.
Bai Landlord was very happy to see it was a pear blossom box, but he couldn't reveal it. He just said lightly: "Send it in! "
After Su He lifted away, Bai Jinbao wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak. When Bai Landlord saw him, he thought he was nervous, so he didn't take it to heart.
If you have something to say, you will be short, and if you don't say anything, you will be short. In the blink of an eye, it was at night.
Bai Landlord was unpacking the gift box in the room, and his son Bai Jinbao was watching.
When Bai Landlord got the pear blossom box, Bai Jinbao's legs began to tremble again. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak.
"I want to see, what exactly is this? "White Landlord said, opening it.
White Landlord took it out and saw it was a red bellyband.
Bai Jinbao saw that it was a woman's red bellyband, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought it was something messy.
Bai Landlord looked carefully and suddenly saw three words, Lu Yue'e, and then her smiling face appeared.
"Ah! Ghost!" The white landlord threw down the red bellyband in his hand and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Bai Jinbao quickly picked up the red bellyband and looked carefully. There were three words "Lu Yue'e" on it.
"Dad, isn't the widow's tomb her?" Bai Jinbao said in surprise.
"Quick! Throw it away! I will settle the score with Su Heju tomorrow." Bai Landlord said furiously.
"Okay! I'll go with my dad tomorrow to settle the score with him." Bai Jinbao said viciously, "Dad, it's getting late, so take a break!"
Bai Jinbao served Bai Landlord to bed, and then went back to his room to sleep.
I was speechless all night, and in a flash, it was the next day.
Su Heju was chopping firewood at home, when suddenly Liu Po ran in, saying that the white landlord fell into the big tank at home last night and drowned.
After hearing this, Su Heju silently said in his heart: "Miss Lü, rest in peace!"
When Liu Po saw that he didn't speak, she left alone.
After a while, Su Heju heard something happening in Widow Jiao’s home and hurried over.
But when Bai Jinbao put the knife on Miss Jiao's neck, he saw Su He coming, and said loudly, "Su Daizi, my father was killed by you. Today, either you are alive or she is alive, choose one!"
"Bai Jinbao, your father deserves it. Twenty years ago, he killed the widow Lu Yue'e and her mother-in-law. Now, do you want to follow his footsteps?" Su He Ju said loudly.
Just as the words ended, six yamen runners and a head arrester came from outside.
It turned out that Lu Yue'e asked Su Heju last night that she would settle the score with him tomorrow and asked him to report to the official in the morning. Su Heju went to the county government office before dawn and reported the matter to the magistrate. The magistrate had already learned that the White Landlord's family was not a good person, so he sent someone to arrest him.
"Platinum, put down the knife in your hand and strive for leniency." The constable exhorted loudly.
Bai Jinbao ignored the deaf ears and still refused to put down the knife in his hand. At this moment, the golden hairpin on Widow Jiao's head suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Bai Jinbao suddenly felt his eyes burning, and the knife in his hand suddenly fell.
Widow Jiao took advantage of his unpreparedness and ran away immediately. Seeing this, the constable immediately took him down.
After Bai Jinbao was captured, Su Heju and Widow Jiao hugged each other and cried!
A month later, Su Heju married Widow Jiao. A year later, Su Heju passed the imperial examination and became a parent official. Widow Jiao followed him all the way and gave birth to a fat boy for him, and he lived a happy and sweet life from then on.
Howling Slope. Since then, there have been no more ghosts and wolves howling at night. The villagers also call it Hanxiaopo.
