In ancient times, in Qinghe Town, Songzhou City, there was a young man named Liu Tianbao in the town. His father died of illness at the age of seven. From then on, he and his old mother, Zhang's depended on each other.

简你网 Liu Tianbao is kind-hearted, loyal and honest, and tall and mighty. Because of his strength, he lived a life of wood wood all year round and his life was extremely shabby.

I remember one autumn, Liu Tianbao went into the mountain to chop wood.

It was busy until noon that he came back with a basket of firewood.

Passed by a forest and suddenly felt dry mouth, so he wanted to ask for a bowl of water to drink.

can be deep in the mountains and forests, where are there people?

There was no way, so he had to hold on and move forward.

After about half an hour, a surprise came. Not far away, there is a thatched hut.

So he ran quickly to the front of the house.

When I opened the door, I saw a young and beautiful woman sitting in the yard embroidered shoes; and there were five apples on the stone table next to the woman.

took a deep breath, and Liu Tianbao asked in a low voice, "Girl, can you go into the house to ask for a drink?"

The woman looked up and looked at Liu Tianbao up and down.

Hesitated for a moment, and then the woman came into the house and brought a bowl of water.

After Liu Tianbao thanked him, he drank the water in one sip.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Apple.

After a long silence, he asked, "This girl, do you sell this apple? I want to buy three."

The woman was stunned, and nodded after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, it costs two cents for one apple"

"This... this is a bit expensive, I... I can't afford it"

The woman asked with a smile: "Do you like to eat apples?"

Liu Tianbao shook his head quickly and said honestly: "Girl, the reason I bought apples is to take them home for my mother to try, but they are too expensive and can't afford it"

So that's it.

"Young master, I didn't expect you to be a filial son. Today we met, which is also a fate. Otherwise, I will give you an apple for you to taste it?"

Then, the woman stuffed an apple into Liu Tianbao's mouth.

Liu Tianbao held the apple and looked at it for a long time before taking a bite.

But after taking three bites, he actually wrapped the apple carefully.

Seeing this scene, the woman was very curious and asked, "Young master, why don't you finish the apple at once?"

"Girl, I'm making you laugh. I want to take it home for my old mother to taste it."

The woman was stunned for a while, and then laughed.

"What a big filial son"

"Let's do this, there are not many young people like you who are filial to you nowadays. Then I'll give you another basket of apples, so that you and your mother can taste it well."

After saying that, the woman walked into the backyard again and quickly brought a basket of apples.

"Miss has no surname, I will come to thank others"

The woman smiled and said, "The little woman's surname is Li, her name is Xiaoqin"

"Miss Li, why don't you see your family?"

"I'm not hiding the young master, the young woman lives here alone on weekdays, and the mother is with her brother"

After a few words of greetings to each other, the two parted ways.

Later, Liu Tianbao arrived home.

He was very happy as he watched his mother eat the apple happily.

so at the same time, he told his mother about this.

Mother smiled and said, "Baoer, that Miss Li has a good character, you are not young anymore, it's time to start a family. If Miss Li has not betrothed yet, you can go and propose marriage."

With the support of her mother, Liu Tianbao was overjoyed.

After preparing the betrothal gift, Liu Tianbao and his mother went to propose marriage.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoqin agreed immediately.

Half a month later, the two got married. After getting married, the couple lived a dull life.

Although Li was filial and diligent, Li Xiaoqin had never been able to have children after three years of marriage.

Slowly, Zhang had an objection to this daughter-in-law; and Liu Tianbao began to dislike Xiaoqin.

Happy days, Liu Tianbao often insults Li, but Li never talks back and has been silently suffering this grievance.

Until one day, Liu Tianbao went home drunk.

After seeing Li, he pushed his wife to the ground and said coldly: "If you don't give birth to a son for me, what's the use for you?"

Li cried.

"My husband, since I married into the Liu family, I have worked hard and never made any mistakes over the years, and I am sincere to you. But what about you? Why do you treat me like this? Let me tell you the truth, I am a fox demon who has been practicing in the mountains for a hundred years. Originally, in another year, I will be able to survive the tribulation and be pregnant by then, but your performance has disappointed me too. Today, I will leave, please do it yourself."

After saying that, Li Xiaoqin turned into a white fox and left.

At this moment, Liu Tianbao suddenly regretted it. He shouted repeatedly: "Madam, don't go."

But no matter how he shouted, the fox demon never came out again.

Perhaps he was retribution. After only three days, Zhang died of sudden illness; and Liu Tianbao broke his legs while chopping wood, and he became a disabled person since then. Half a year later, he passed away.
