There is a village called Liujiazhuang at the foot of Jiwang Mountain. Once upon a time, there were two brothers in Liujiazhuang, whose elder brother was Liu Keqin and his younger brother was Liu Kejian. Both of their parents died, their brother got married, their younger brother was 16 years old, and they were a family of three, and they lived a comfortable life.

In the twelfth month of the tenth month, the wheat was planted, the autumn crops were harvested, and there was nothing to do in the winter. Liu Keqin went to Fenglingdu, more than 200 miles away to do business. In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Keqin hurriedly went home for the New Year. On this day, he planned to go to Liangjiayu to stay in a hotel before dark, but he missed his walking due to stomachache. When it was dark, he was still a few miles away from Liangjiayu.

As the saying goes, "In August, the twelfth lunar month is dark." As the night falls, the sky quickly becomes so dark that it is impossible to see your fingers. Liu Keqin was not in the village in front and the shop in the back, and was alone in the wild. He couldn't help but look nervous and sweated.

was walking when suddenly I found a little light in front of me. It seemed that the light was like a light coming from a window in a house. Liu Keqin was delighted that there were residents here! He hurried over and knocked on the door. The door opened was a woman in her forties. After explaining the situation, the woman let him in the house and closed the door casually.

There is only two mother and daughter in her family. When they learned that Liu Keqin had not eaten yet because he was on the road, the mother and daughter started cooking. When my mother was burning the fire, the little girl quickly cut vegetables and rolled noodles. As she spoke, the hot meal was served.

"Your surname is yours? How many people are in your family?" After dinner, Liu Keqin asked the woman.

"My name is Shu (Liu Keqin mistook it as "Su"), and I am the mother and daughter. My daughter are called Liying, and I am 14 years old this year."

Liu Keqin saw that the little girl Liying was so beautiful. The melon-shaped face is big and the eyes are big, and the smile is two dimples. It is quiet and skillful, and generous. It speaks like ringing a copper bell, crisp and crisp. Looking at this little beauty, Liu Keqin thought: "This little girl, Kejian, is two years old. How good it would be for her brother to be a wife!"

When Liu Keqin briefly introduced his family situation to the two, he proposed that Kejian and Liying get married. Liying's mother made a little consideration and agreed immediately. The next year, when Liu Kejian came to Fenglingdu again, he specifically looked for Liying's house about three miles south of Liangjiayu.

But there are wilderness and no residents. Another year later, Liu Kejian is 19 years old and Liying is 17 years old. It’s time for the two to get married, but what should I do if I can’t find Liying?

This time, Liu Keqin went to Liangjiayu area again and made up his mind to find Liying. He searched and searched, but couldn't find it. He was depressed and was about to walk back when he suddenly found a girl standing not far away. He took two steps at a time and quickly walked towards the girl.

Before he arrived, the girl shouted crisply, "Brother Keqin, you are here. I'm waiting for you so hard!"

"Liying, it's you!" Seeing Liying, Liu Keqin was overjoyed, "Where is your mother?"

"My mother... is not here. It rained heavily a few days ago, and the house suddenly collapsed. My mother, I was smashed to death..." Liying started crying, crying sadly.

"Now..." Liu Kewu didn't know what to say.

"The house here has been destroyed and there are no relatives. Now let's go back to Liujiazhuang together." Liying said what Liu Keqin wanted to say.

When I was about to get up, Liying said, "I won't come back now. When my mother was there, she saved some food. You can find a livestock nearby and sell the food to Liangjiayu. There is a grain store there."

When Liu Keqin came with an mule , Liying led him to a broken wall, where there was a pile of bags of food. Liu Keqin drove the mule to Liangjiayu quickly transported it. When it was dark, more than 4,000 kilograms of food were taken away.

The next day, they set off for Liujiazhuang. When Liu Keqin and Liying returned home, they looked at Liying, three layers inside and three layers outside, and walked one after another, and none of them did not praise Liying for being beautiful. People say that Liu Keqin did a good thing and told his younger brother a good wife. Kejian likes it even more.

Soon, Kejian and Liying worshipped the world. Liying is skillful and diligent, and can do whatever she wants no matter what she is at home. My brother and sister-in-law were also very satisfied.

This year, wheat was planted, and the ground was frozen and people were idle. Liu Kezhu went to Fenglingbo to do business again.When he walked to the place where he met Liying in autumn, the broken wall where the food was piled up was gone.

He asked an old man who picked up dung: "There was a resident here, whose surname was Su, where was the courtyard?"

The old man picked up dung looked at Liu Keqin, blinked and said, "There were no residents in a few miles here. There was a small temple called 'Wenchang Pavilion' more than one mile to the east. It turned out that it was raining in the autumn. When people were picking up wood bricks, they found that a big rat was killed inside, which was more than two feet long."

When they heard this, Liu Keqin thought about it and immediately realized that Liying and her daughter were not humans, but rat spirits. Where is Liying’s surname Su? It’s clearly the surname Shu! He decided to drive Liying away! So he was in a hurry and rushed back day and night.

After he got home, he told his wife everything. In order to verify the mouse spirit, he found a cat and placed it in his sleeve. When he decided to eat, he placed the cat in front of Liying to see if Liying could reveal the mouse-like original shape.

dishes are fried and the rice is cooked, and ready to eat. Liying was busy serving the dishes and serving rice. Keqin took the opportunity to put the cat under Liying's feet. The cat screamed "meow" and jumped onto the kang. Liying was shocked when she heard the cat's meow. She glanced at Keqin with anger and immediately returned to normal. "Brother, you're going to have a meal, why are you teasing cats?"

On the evening, Liying was working under the lamp and felt very uncomfortable. My brother let the cat tease him while eating, and obviously suspected that he was a mouse. She had a lot of words to talk to Kejian, but Kejian didn't know where he went. In the past night, when she was doing needlework under the lamp, Ke Jian always snuggled beside her, even pillowing on her lap and joking with her. Why today...

ying had no intention of doing work anymore. She put down the soles of her shoes that were being put on and walked into the yard. When she walked to her brother's window, Keqin heard Keqin sternly, "She is a fairy. If she doesn't drive her away, maybe one day her energy will be destroyed and our whole family will be destroyed in her hands!

"She...she..." Kejian spoke hesitantly, his voice was crying and obviously unwilling to abandon Liying.

"Don't miss her," his sister-in-law added salt and vinegar, "There are many beautiful women in the world. Your brother and I will marry you another one, and the insurance is better than Liying..."

At night, before going to bed, Liying sat in front of Kejian, holding his hand and crying, "To be honest, my mother and I are rats, and are fairies, but we haven't practiced successfully. My mother has been practicing for nine hundred years, but I have only practiced for seven hundred years. When the temple collapsed in autumn rain, my mother died. I turned into a human, completely became a human, and would never become a mouse. I will never harm anyone. As the saying goes, "A couple has a hundred days of kindness, and a hundred days of husband and wife are like deep in the sea." I have a deep relationship with you, and I will never leave you. I am your family alive, and I am your ghost when I die. I will never leave you even if I die. "Liying lay on Kejian's back and started crying.

"I don't want to leave you either, but my brother and sister-in-law said, if I don't drive you away, they will split up. "Kejian also cried.

" I will persuade my brother and sister-in-law to split up. If they insist on making a difference, then make a difference. I can endure hardships and ensure that I can live a good life. "

The next day, Keqin and his wife wanted to separate the family. Liying was unwilling to do so. She wanted a stove to eat and serve her brother and sister-in-law well. But Keqin and his wife still insisted on splitting the family.

really couldn't do it anymore, Liying said in tears: "Brother and his sister-in-law, you two are meritorious ministers. Your parents died early and raised Kejian to grow up. You have worked hard. Today, Kejian and I only need the eight-cent-sized open space next to the village. I will sleep at home for another night tonight, and we will go out together tomorrow morning, and everything at home will be left for you. ”

On the evening, Liying said to Kejian: “We want to build a house in that eight-point area immediately. "

Ke Jian said with a sad face: "It's not easy to talk about it! We are so poor that we are jingling. "

Liying smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, it's all for me. Three days to ensure everything is done. ”

The next day, Liying held a stick in her hand and poked it in three places on the Nan Cliff in eight parts. Three large caves immediately appeared on the cliff. Each cave was full of doors and windows. The kiln in the middle was oily, and there were kangs, there were felt blankets on the kang, there were tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans on the kang, and there were tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans.While speaking, many carpenters and bricklayers walked out of the caves on both sides, and some helped. A group of workers. Wood, bricks and tiles are placed in the first yard. Everyone was busy working hard. In just a day, a corridor was inlaid in front of the three caves, and the courtyard was built into a four-way courtyard with a gate tower.

From then on, Ke Jian and Li Ying lived a good life in harmony. They are hardworking, simple and harmonious in their neighborhoods. If anyone has difficulties, they will extend their hands to support themselves. There is an old woman in the village, whose surname is Pei, who is over 80 years old, deaf and dazzled, and has no children. Kejian and his wife regard her as a relative, sending rice and noodles, and laying and wearing them.

The old man said to everyone: "Kejian and Liying are so good. If it weren't for them, I would have lost my old bones." Therefore, they were deeply loved by the villagers in the village.

Later, because Liying came forward to make a move, Kejian and his wife made up with their brother and sister-in-law. Later, Keqin and his wife gave birth to two children in succession, and Kejian and his wife gave birth to a man and a woman one after another.

From then on, the whole family lived a harmonious life.
