There is a scholar named Liu Ming in Yangliugou Village, Dongchang Prefecture. After being introduced by someone, he married Cui Huan, the daughter of Lu Yuanwai's family in the town. After marriage, the young couple stayed together all day long, and went in and out in pairs, making others envious of love.
Half a year after marriage, Liu Xiucai was going to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination, so he had to reluctantly part with his beautiful wife. But there was no news about his departure, and there was no news after almost a year.
After the family reported to the official, the county magistrate sent people to investigate from multiple sources and finally found a corpse under the cliff. There was a jade pendant hanging around the neck, which was carried by Liu Xiucai. But he had obviously died for a long time, and he could not find out whether he was killed by someone for money or fell off the cliff by himself.
That's it. Lu just turned 18 years old and became a little widow. There was nothing I could do about it now. Lu still followed the country rules and planned to keep her husband safe for one year and find another person to marry.
For women like Lu, life is indeed difficult once they lose their husbands. Even so, she was still patient and did not have too much contact with other men, for fear of being gossiped about. But one night, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and the bed suddenly collapsed. Fortunately, the person was not injured.
The next day, Lu was about to invite a carpenter to make a new bed. After inquiring about Mrs. Zhang's neighbor, she learned that there was a Carpenter Li in the village next door, so she went to invite Carpenter Li after dressing up.
Speaking of this Carpenter Li, he is a local stranger. Because he learned carpenters, he learned it completely without a teacher. But his skill is so exquisite that no one can surpass him within dozens of miles of their county.
Carpenter Li was named Li Tianyi. He was originally a farmer. Suddenly one day, he had some nerves, so he went to the county to buy carpenter tools and worked as a carpenter in his yard.
At first, everyone in the village laughed at him. At that time, when he learned crafts, he had to learn hard by his disciples, and at least several years would he achieve something. If he had no one to guide him, would he really have success in his skills?
But just three months later, the villagers were stunned when they saw the tables, stools, wooden cabinets and other furniture he made. This was really great and was definitely not something that ordinary craftsmen could make.
Carpenter Li gave all the first batch of furniture he made to the villagers, and his reputation quickly became famous. After a few years, Carpenter Li became a local celebrity, and also made a fortune by relying on carpenter skills and built a luxurious mansion.
At this time, his wife passed away, and matchmakers kept coming to him to say hello, but Carpenter Li refused.
People say that Carpenter Li has too deep feelings for his wife and is unwilling to marry again. After the villagers learned about this, they admired him even more.
When Widow Lu came to the door, Carpenter Li was working at home. When he saw the little widow's eyes lit up, he heard that he was going to make a bed, so he quickly agreed.
Wife Lu has no wood at home, so Carpenter Li said he could pack the materials and do the workmanship, so he brought the wood to process it himself.
That afternoon, Carpenter Li called a villager, carried the best wood to Liu's house, put out tools in the yard, and made a large wooden bed according to the size of Widow Lu's bedroom.
Widow Lu was very grateful. She boiled tea and often served tea and let him drink it. Carpenter Li looked at the little widow from time to time, his eyes shining with light, not knowing what he was planning.
Four days later, a large wooden bed is almost ready. When there was no one, Carpenter Li carved a three-inch-long little man on the inside of the foot of the bed. The little man was painted vividly and was somewhat similar to Carpenter Li.
After carving the little man, Carpenter Li picked up the axe and cut his fingers, dripped a few drops of blood into the little man's mouth, and then recited a strange spell in his mouth. The little man wriggled on the foot of the bed, gradually disappearing his traces and was completely invisible. After the bed was completed, it was put into the room. Widow Lu was very satisfied and paid the wages readily. Carpenter Li went home.
That night, Widow Lu put on the bedding and planned to have a good sleep. But as soon as I lay on the bed, I became confused and suddenly I found that there seemed to be a figure beside the bed. She was startled and quickly sat up and lighted the light, but there was nothing.
Widow Chen was shocked and suspicious for a while, and finally fell asleep in the bed because she was too sleepy.
is in a daze, and Widow Lu feels that someone is pressing on her. This strong man has very rough skin, but has a lot of strength.
Widow Lu struggled for a few times, but it was useless at all. In the end, she was defiled by this man. Afterwards, although Widow Lu felt humiliated, she also fell asleep with satisfaction. The poor woman was so lonely that she had been too long.
When I woke up the next morning, Widow Lu remembered what happened last night and hurriedly sat up from the bed and found that there was no man around me, but the quilt on the bed was scattered, and it seemed that something had happened.
Widow Lu pondered for a long time and thought last night was just a dream. But what happened in the dream made her feel endlessly, and she still had some expectations, hoping that she could have such a beautiful dream at night.
At night, the man appeared again as soon as she closed her eyes. After that, every night when Widow Lu slept on the bed and just turned off the light, the man would appear and meet her in half truth and half falsehood.
After a long time, Widow Lu was very satisfied with this. This man never speaks, but this kind of good thing has helped her to feel lonely at night, and no one knows it. She is content and does not deliberately explore who a man is.
Three months passed like this. Widow Lu suddenly vomited in her mouth while eating one day. She was shocked and frightened. Did you become pregnant? I am a widow, and I will be over if I really get pregnant.
Widow Lu went to the neighboring town and found a doctor whom she didn't know to take her pulse. The doctor touched her and began to congratulate her. It turns out that I am pregnant. It seems that what happened in the bed is actually true!
Who is this man? Widow Lu secretly made up her mind to see the man clearly at night and ask him to be responsible for him. If he has a good attitude and is so capable, it would be nice to marry him.
That night, when the two were intimate, Widow Lu suddenly sat up from the bed, grabbed the man, and lit the candle. After a closer look, this person was Carpenter Li!
Widow Lu cursed angrily: "You carpenter, you have to have my body. Now I'm pregnant, what do you think?" The man didn't say anything, but just smiled strangely, and quickly slid from her hand and disappeared in an instant. Widow Lu had no choice but to know what this man was.
The next day, Widow Lu wanted to ask Carpenter Li, but she was afraid of revealing her privacy, so she could only endure it.
A few days later, it was Qingming Festival, and Widow Lu went to the husband's grave in the back mountain to burn paper to pay tribute. She felt a little uneasy, but after leaving the scene, she hurried home.
That night, when the man appeared in the bed again, the donkey in the donkey shed outside the house suddenly started screaming wildly, then broke the rope and ran to hit the door. The man heard the sound and suddenly became smaller and disappeared.
This donkey has been noisy all night, which made Widow Lu very angry. This donkey is a dowry belonging to her parents' family and is rarely used to keep it. It is only used to ride it when you go to the market and travel far away.
After dawn, Widow Lu picked up the whip and planned to teach this stupid donkey a lesson and let him be honest and not to care about his own affairs. But when the donkey saw that he was about to be beaten, he turned around and ran towards the mountain road.
Widow Lu was even more angry and chased after him.
The donkey was very strange. He ran along the mountain road for more than ten miles and came to an outside of a Taoist temple in the middle of the mountain. Widow Lu panted and chased her here. When she was about to rush over to beat the donkey, a Taoist priest walked out of the Taoist temple.
The Taoist priest stopped Widow Lu and said, "This donkey cannot be beaten!" Seeing the Taoist priest stopping, Widow Lu had to stop. Taoist Wu in the temple was said to be a paradise, and the villagers respected him very much.
Master Wu looked at Widow Lu and said, "You woman has a problem, and this donkey has a problem!"
Widow Lu felt a little nervous when he heard this. Did Master Wu see what happened at night? When she was at a loss, Master Wu said, "There is a monster in your family. If you don't get rid of it, you will be alive soon!"
Widow Lu's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly knelt down and begged Master Taoist to help him. At this point, she didn't care about her face anymore, and life was the most important thing. If Master Wu asked, she would plan to tell the night.
Daoist Master Wu waved his hand and said, "You lead the way, I'll go to your house to eliminate monsters, otherwise the monsters will become a climate in the future and will harm more people." Widow Lu thanked Master Wu and hurriedly took him home.
Master Wu said to the donkey: "I know who you are, but you shouldn't appear in the world. Your wife is also confused by monsters. I will make the decision on this matter. Go back to where you came!"
After hearing this, the donkey came out of the donkey's body and crawled into the ground and disappeared. Only then did Widow Lu realize that the donkey was possessed by her husband and discovered her ugly things. No wonder Ye Ming kept silent.
Master Wu came to Liu's house and looked around in the house. Then Widow Lu was asked to set up dry firewood outside the house and set up a pile of fire. Master Wu said, "What's wrong with this bed. I've been tampered with it. There's a living thing in the bed!"
The big bed was moved outside the yard and ignited by dry firewood.
I saw something on the beam of the bed, and it seemed that something was moving quickly in the wood, and then made a miserable cry. When the wooden bed was about to burn out, a three-inch-long little man jumped out of the last bit of wood. At this time, the Taoist Master Tian threw out a small golden net and trapped the villain in it.
Master Wu bowed to the sky and said, "The ancestor of the Three Pure Ones is above, and the ancestor of Luban is above, someone privately learned the Wood Sutra to sacrifice and refining the wood demon to harm people. The small path should practice the way for heaven and to eliminate this disaster in the world!" Master Wu muttered something, and the small net suddenly spewed out many blue flames, and the little man's body was ignited, and soon screamed and turned into ashes.
At the same time, Carpenter Li, who was in the neighboring village, also screamed, fell to the ground and rolled on his body, and soon lost his breath. When the neighbors arrived, they found that his body was also burned to charcoal.
Master Wu gave Widow Lu a green pill. After she took it, the pregnancy in her abdomen quickly dissipated, and no strange things happened at home since then. Later, Widow Lu married again and lived a happy life.
Jingyuezhai’s message:
The world is full of wonders. The ancient craftsmen all had some magical means. But these methods will have some restrictions. If used to do evil, they will definitely be punished by God and will not end up in a good end. Carpenter Li deserved the wooden scriptures when he got the wooden scriptures, but he used them to harm others. He deserved the death.
story also reminds us that when we find people and things around us, we must be vigilant and deal with them as soon as possible. If you are crazy about Widow Lu, you will often cause even greater tragedies if you have fantasies like Widow Lu.
