There is a Tianyuan Village in Cixi County. There is a woman named Zhen Siniang. She has been married to her husband Wu Gui for many years and has not given birth to a son or a daughter. However, when she was 30 years old, Zhen Siniang became pregnant unexpectedly and not long af

During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, Cixi County, Ningbo Prefecture, was located on the coast of the East China Sea. It was named after the Youxi River in the south and Dong An "mother, kind and filial son".

There is a Tianyuan Village in Cixi County. There is a woman named Zhen Siniang. She has been married to her husband Wu Gui for many years and has not given birth to a son or a daughter.

However, when she was 30 years old, Zhen Siniang became pregnant unexpectedly and not long after, she gave birth to a monster with only half a face. Later, this incident was mentioned, which was amazing.

This winter, Zhen Siniang came to the riverside. While washing clothes, she saw a child dragging a little black dog over. She didn't care much and continued to do the work.

After a while, she heard a shrill barking of dogs, so she looked up and saw that the child actually tied the puppy to a big rock, as if he wanted to sink the dog into the bottom of the water.

Zhen Siniang ran over quickly and stopped the child and said, "Although it is a beast, it is still a life no matter how it is said. How can you treat it like this?"

The child pouted, his face full of displeasure, and said in anger: "This is my dog. How do I treat it? What does it have to do with you?"

Zhen Siniang looked at the puppy that was only one month old on the ground, and was very sad. Such a living life was about to leave the world like this.

She wanted to save it, so she begged the child, "What should you do to let it go?"

The child thought for a while and said, "Just give one tael of silver!"

One tael of silver, enough for her family to live for a month. Zhen Siniang is a poor family and doesn’t have much savings at home, but she gritted her teeth and told the child not to move, saying that she would go home to get the money.

Zhen Siniang returned home and found her husband Wu Gui lying on the kang, sleeping soundly. She tiptoed, quietly opened the drawer, took out a tael of silver from the cash box, came to the child, and handed the money to him.

The child quickly stuffed the money into his pocket, hummed a small song, and left happily.

The little black dog is quite spiritual. It seems that he knows that Zhen Si Niang saved her life just now and kept wagging her tail desperately, as if she wanted to go home with her.

Zhen Siniang also liked this puppy very much, so she took it back, but as soon as she entered the house, she saw Wu Gui rummaging through boxes and looking for money.

When Wu Gui saw Zhen Siniang, her eyes were about to burst into flames. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you get the money in the box?"

When Zhen Siniang saw her husband angry, she was a little scared and lowered her head and dared not look at her husband's eyes.

Wu Gui took a leather whip and whipped it hard. Zhen Siniang fell to the ground all of a sudden.

The puppy saw Zhen Siniang being bullied, and it trembled all over and barked at Wu Gui.

At this time, Wu Gui noticed the puppy and cursed, "Where did the little beast come from? I actually ran to my house to play wildly. Let's see how I beat you to death..."

Wu Gui raised his whip and was about to hit the dog, Zhen Siniang quickly picked up the puppy and ran outside.

ran all the way, and Zhen Siniang came to a temple on the mountain, and then put down the puppy in her arms.

This temple is in ruins, and even the statue of the gods collapsed. No one would come to worship on weekdays. Zhen Siniang is also much more at ease when raising the puppy here, so she doesn’t have to worry about the puppy being discovered and being hurt again.

The puppy is too small to forage. So, every time the couple finished their meal, Zhen Siniang would secretly leave some food while her husband was not paying attention, take it to the temple and feed it to the puppy.

Spring goes and autumn comes. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed, and the little black dog has grown into a big dog. He looks extremely fierce, but his temperament is very docile and very smart.

Zhen Siniang often takes it to the mountains to pick mushrooms. If a black dog finds pheasant , or small animals like hares, they can always catch them and then take them to Zhen Siniang.

When she praises herself, the black dog will jump up and down with joy, and then work harder to find prey.

One day, Zhen Siniang led the black dog into the mountain again. As soon as she reached the middle of the mountain, the black dog found a gray rabbit, so she ran wildly and chased the rabbit.There is a place near

that is very humid, suitable for wild mushroom growth. Zhen Siniang walked towards there. As soon as she got closer, she found that there were a lot of wild mushrooms, so she squatted down and picked mushrooms.

When Zhen Siniang heard footsteps behind her, thinking that it was a woman from the same village, so she came to pick mushrooms. She was about to say hello, but when she saw the person coming, she was shocked. Unexpectedly, it was Old Man Liu from the village.

This old man Liu has a bad reputation. It is said that when he was young, he was a gangster. He not only had food, drink, gamble, but also often bullied men and women. Therefore, he angered his parents to death and caused his pregnant daughter-in-law to commit suicide.

Many years ago, Old Man Liu committed a crime and was imprisoned in prison. He was released recently.

He was old and couldn't find a job, so he came to the mountain with a machete, trying to chop some firewood to carry it to the market to make a living, but he didn't expect to meet Zhen Siniang.

Zhen Siniang looks pretty and has a convex figure. Old Man Liu was so envious that he rushed over and pressed her to the ground, trying to do something wrong.

Zhen Siniang was very scared and kept shouting. When the black dog heard the shout, rushed over and saw that Old Man Liu was bullying his master, he immediately looked fierce and rushed towards him.

Although Old Man Liu is old, he is still extremely powerful. He raised his hatchet and slashed hard, and half of the black dog's face was cut off.

Zhen Siniang was in great pain, holding the black dog's corpse, howling heart-wrenchingly.

Not only did Old Man Liu not have any sympathy, he showed a proud smile and walked towards Zhen Siniang step by step.

At this time, four hunters heard the news and came to find out, but they saw Old Man Liu stripping Zhen Siniang of clothes, while Zhen Siniang cried into tears.

hunters were shocked, but they didn't expect that in broad daylight, someone dared to commit a crime. They rushed over, subdued Old Man Liu, and took him to the county government to question him.

Although Old Man Liu received the punishment he deserved, Zhen Siniang was still immersed in sadness, and the black dog would never come back. It was not until the beginning of spring when she was thirty that she became pregnant and then she smiled.

Wu Gui saw that Zhen Siniang was pregnant with her own flesh and blood, so she was better for her. He often cooked in person, stewed some supplements to nourish her body.

Time flies, ten months pass in a blink of an eye. That day, Zhen Siniang's amniotic fluid broke, and Wu Gui hurriedly invited , to come over. Then he stayed outside the house, anxiously waiting for the child to die.

Stable woman has rich experience and has delivered many mothers. She was not panicked at all and soon helped Zhen Siniang deliver a baby boy.

The woman picked up the baby boy and looked carefully. She found that she had only half of her face. She immediately fell to the ground in fear and did not move.

Zhen Siniang didn't know what she was and looked at the baby boy. The baby boy was still soft just now, but he suddenly grew into a little boy of five or six years old.

When she saw that the boy had only half a face, she immediately turned pale with fear. Unexpectedly, she gave birth to a monster.

The boy wanted to go over and touch his mother's face, but when he saw her looking at him in horror, he felt aggrieved and sad. He shed tears and rushed out of the window.

Watching the little boy go away, Zhen Siniang didn't know what to do for a moment. If her husband knew that she had given birth to a monster, she would definitely be beaten to death by him.

But if you abandon the boy, you will be unable to get over your conscience. Although your son looks ugly, he is also the flesh that fell from his body.

At this moment, the woman in the air woke up and got up in panic. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Wu Gui. She looked shocked and said, "Your wife gave birth to a monster just now. She only had half her face. She almost sent her old body to the West. She will never dare to deliver her baby to your family again. It's so scary."

Wu Gui was very angry. She served Zhen Siniang these days because of the child in her belly. Unexpectedly, after the child was born, it turned out to be a monster. When I wait a hundred years later, I will have the face to meet my ancestors and ancestors.

Wu Gui picked up the whip again and rushed into the room, looking for the child everywhere, trying to beat him to death.

But after searching around, no child was found.

Wu Gui was furious, looked at Zhen Siniang, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Where did you hide that monster? Hand it over quickly, otherwise I will see how I deal with you."

Zhen Siniang ignored him and just shed tears silently.

Wu Gui was full of anger and wanted to vent. Seeing that Zhen Siniang didn't say a word, he was even more angry. He waved the whip in his hand and whipped Zhen Siniang one by one.

Wen Po is a kind-hearted person. Seeing that Wu Gui was fruitless, he protected Zhen Siniang under him.

Wu Gui accidentally hit Wenpo.

Wenpo's son is a local yamen runner and is famous for his bad temper. If he knew that he had hit his mother, he would probably have his muscles and bones broken. Wu Gui was so scared that he fell to the ground and begged his wife not to tell her son about this.

Stable woman agreed, but asked Wu Gui to swear that she would never beat Zhen Siniang again in the future.

Wu Gui nodded wildly, and then the Wenpo left with peace of mind.

But since then, Wu Gui's attitude towards Zhen Siniang has become even worse. He often mocked her in various cold language and instructed her to do heavy work, making her plow the land in the fields like a cow.

And he did nothing, just like a rich young man, waiting for someone to serve him.

On that day, Zhen Siniang was working in the field, and suddenly the sky became gloomy and after a while, heavy rain poured.

is just around the corner to get away from the rain. Zhen Siniang ran in, but after waiting for several hours, the heavy rain had not stopped.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhen Siniang was very anxious. She hadn’t cooked dinner yet. If she made her husband angry, I wonder what methods would she use to deal with her.

Zhen Siniang had no choice but to run in the heavy rain. As soon as she entered the house, she saw two people lying on the bed, one of whom was her husband, and the other was the widow Chuchu in the village.

The Chuchu husband died early. She couldn't stand the loneliness and often hang out with all kinds of wild men on her back.

On weekdays, Zhen Siniang has a good relationship with Chuchu, but she didn't expect that she would have an affair with Wu Gui and was caught by herself.

Zhen Siniang was so angry that her face turned red. She grabbed a broom and wanted to drive Chuchu out.

Unexpectedly, Wu Gui not only protected Chuchu, but also beat Zhen Siniang with a whip, cursing her, "I've been in trouble for eight lifetimes. If you marry a woman like you, you can't have a baby, you're still making such a tantrum. You can stay outside for a night, reflect and come back!"

slammed, and the door was closed tightly.

Zhen Siniang stood outside the door, her eyes dull. At this time, the outside was getting bigger and bigger, and she was soaked in a drool. She looked very embarrassed.

She wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms and cry, but her mother's home is so far away from here. Only during festivals can she meet her mother.

Zhen Siniang felt very aggrieved. When she saw the lights and candles in the room were extinguished, the two of them fell asleep shamelessly.

Zhen Siniang felt discouraged and walked aimlessly in the rain. She walked to a river with a desperate thought that she had lived too hard and too tired in this life, and she really didn't want to live anymore.

Zhen Siniang closed her eyes and jumped down from the shore. Just as she was about to drown, a masked figure swam over like a fish and fished Zhen Siniang ashore.

The figure was tall and tall, looking twenty years old. Seeing that Zhen Siniang was unconscious, he carried her to the dilapidated temple on the mountain.

When Zhen Siniang woke up, she found herself lying in the straw pile, with a young man wearing a mask beside her.

She asked in surprise: "Who are you? Why are you still wearing a mask on your face? Do we know each other?"

The young man gestured with his hands, as if telling her that he couldn't speak.

Zhen Siniang sighed, it turned out that there are too many pitiful people in this world, not only herself, everyone is working hard to live, why do they easily give up their lives?

She must live well, but she was completely disappointed with Wu Gui and no longer wanted to return to him, so she decided to live in this dilapidated temple.

The young man had no name, so Zhen Siniang gave him a name, Fusheng, hoping that he would be safe and happy all his life.

There are not only stoves in the temple, but also broken bowls and pots picked up by Fusheng. Fusheng is very capable. He not only knows how to hunt, but also has a great cooking skills. The fried food is fragrant.

Zhen Siniang always feels that Fusheng is very familiar, especially those eyes, which I often dream of at night. But she couldn't believe that Fusheng would be that child.

Because I have never looked for the child since he left. If Fusheng is really that child, how can he face him?

When Zhen Siniang thinks of that child, her heart hurts very much, as if she is crushed. She reached out to take off Fusheng's mask and see if he was the one in her dream.

But Fusheng avoided it, and a trace of loneliness flashed in Zhen Siniang's eyes, so she no longer forced him to take off his mask.

Although Zhen Siniang is not sure whether Fusheng is her child or not, she has a sense of closeness to him and always unconsciously treats him as her son.

The look she looked at him was like a mother looking at her son, full of love.

The two are like mother and son, living a happy life in this dilapidated temple.

Fusheng occasionally went down the mountain and sold the wild things he caught to the butcher in exchange for some money to buy some rice, flour and daily necessities.

Sometimes too many wild animals are caught, and the butcher refuses to buy them all. Fusheng was a little worried. It would be a pity if the remaining wild animals were rotten.

However, Zhen Siniang had a way. She air-dried the wild animals, made them into bacon, and then stored them for winter to eat.

One summer, it rained heavily, and it took a month and it had not stopped. Fortunately, there was enough bacon stored, so the two of them would not go hungry.

After a few days, the heavy rain finally stopped. There was a rainbow hanging in the sky. The sun was very bright. The birds in the forest kept chirping, and everything seemed full of vitality.

Zhen Siniang and Fusheng have not left the temple for more than a month.

As if it was clear today, Zhen Siniang came out to breathe, but when she looked down the mountain, the entire village had been flooded.

She secretly rejoiced, but she didn't expect that she would be blessed in disguise and escaped.

But looking at the corpse floating on the water, she felt very sad again, so she knelt on the ground and mourned the dead silently.

Fusheng also knelt down, hoping that the deceased would be reborn as soon as possible and not be a wronged soul or wild ghost.

When the flood receded, Zhen Siniang took Fu to the mountain. When she walked into the village, she saw paper money everywhere, and wailing endlessly, crying at her dead relatives.

Zhen Siniang came to her house and saw that the house had turned into ruins. After searching the entire village, she couldn't find Wu Gui. It seems that he has died in the flood, and his body may be buried under the ruins.

Zhen Siniang and Fusheng dig out the ruins and finally found two corpses, but they were rotten and could not recognize their faces at all.

But judging from her clothes, one is sure that one is Wu Gui and the other is Chu Chu.

Zhen Siniang was very kind-hearted. Although these two bullied themselves like this in the past, seeing that they died so miserably, they let go of all their grudges.

She ordered Fusheng to buy two coffins and bury the two.

After the funeral, Zhen Siniang hired a craftsman and built three adobe rooms. Because Fusheng has reached the age of marriage. She hopes that he will get married and have children here and settle down.

But Fu Sheng always wears a mask and refuses to take it off.

Zhen Siniang was very helpless. In this way, no girl would like to fall in love with him.

She wanted to rush over and tear off his mask, but when she thought of a face behind the mask, the child actually appeared in her mind.

Her heart ached faintly and she could no longer do it.

But she is not the only one who feels sad.

Many households in the village were destroyed due to floods, their savings were washed away, and they lost a lot of labor. They soon started a famine.

Many people are so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs, and they are as thin as an bamboo . They have no food, so they dig grass roots and chew tree bark. Some even eat soil to fill their stomachs.

Zhen Siniang was very sad when she saw this situation, but she was powerless and could not help them through the difficulties.

She cries every day, her eyes are always red and swollen.

Fusheng felt a little distressed when he saw it, so he took out a basin and placed it in front of Zhen Siniang.

There was a cloth covered with the basin. Zhen Siniang felt a little strange and opened the cloth. She saw that there was a piece of gold ingot in the basin.

Zhen Siniang was extremely surprised and asked Fusheng, "Where did this money come from?"

But Fusheng is a mute and can't speak.

He gestured with his hands, as if telling Zhen Siniang: "This is called a treasure pot, which will turn into gold ingots, but only one every day."

Zhen Siniang smiled happily and said angrily: "You bad guy, why didn't you take out such a good thing earlier!"

Through the mask, Zhen Siniang saw Fusheng's eyes like two crescent moons, which were particularly beautiful.

Zhen Siniang really wants to know what kind of smiling face it is.

However, it is important to help the victims. The two of them pushed the cart and came to the market, buying a large amount of grain and transported it back to the village.

But I thought of many people, the kitchen was ruined and there was no place to cook.

Zhen Siniang built a shed at the entrance of the street, and invited people to set up several stoves, cook pots of rice porridge, and distributed it to the victims.

But there are too many victims, and this little food is not enough to eat. Fortunately, Zhen Siniang has a treasure pot at home, and she can create a gold ingot every day. She took these gold ingots and went to the market to buy food.

One day, Zhen Siniang and Fusheng pushed a cart full of grain when passing through a mountain road. Fusheng fainted and fell to the ground.

A center of gravity is unstable, and the grain slides down from the cart and spills all over the floor.

But Zhen Siniang didn't care about so much. She used all her strength to push Fusheng onto the cart and then transported it home.

Zhen Siniang panics and invites a doctor. After the doctor finished treating Fusheng's pulse, he said that he had lost too much blood and asked Zhen Siniang to buy some supplements for him to take, and the doctor left.

Zhen Siniang slaughtered chickens and ducks every day, stewed some nutritious soup, and fed it to Fusheng.

is strange. Since Fu Sheng was bedridden, the treasure pot has never been transformed into gold ingots.

The victims were hungry again. In less than a few days, many people died.

Zhen Siniang was so worried that she burst into tears. Fusheng lay on the bed, looking dying. He gestured weakly, as if he wanted to tell Zhen Siniang not to worry, the victims would definitely overcome this difficulty.

One night, Fusheng took off his mask and only half of his face. He climbed up with difficulty and came to a table with a treasure pot. Then he took out a knife, cut a piece of meat on his leg, and threw it into the basin. The piece of meat turned into a golden ingot.

Fusheng smiled with satisfaction. After bandaging the wound, he staggered back to the bed.

But what he didn't know was that there was a person outside the window who looked at everything.

This person is named Liu Bancheng, and he is the patriarch of the village. He was very curious. Zhen Siniang, a poor family member, did not get so much money and buy a lot of food to help the victims.

I didn't expect that it was the case. The young man wearing a mask in her family was actually a monster who could make money.

Liu Bancheng showed a treacherous smile and left quietly.

The next day, it was just dawn.

A group of people came to Zhen Siniang's house, who were Liu Bancheng's subordinates. They not only dragged Fusheng off the bed, but also took off his mask.

The people in the village were very angry at first, how could these people come to bully the great charity?

But when they saw Fusheng's face, they were all shocked. Why did he only have half a face?

Liu Bancheng's group of men said in a very angry tone: "It is this monster who used evil magic to call the flood, causing us to lose relatives."As he said that, he started to sob.

They saw that people no longer protected Fusheng, so they picked him up and pulled him out, wanting to take him to Liu Bancheng's home. Not only that, they also walked away from the treasure pot on the table.

Zhen Siniang followed the group and wailed: "That's my baby. Please let him go, okay? I can do anything. "

But no one paid attention to her, only some villagers looked at her with sympathy.

When Zhen Siniang chased a river, Fusheng broke free from the control of the group and jumped into the water without hesitation.

Although Fusheng could swim, he was so weak now that he could never swim again after he jumped like this.

Zhen Siniang shouted heart-wrenchingly, and wanted to jump down, but fortunately he was stopped by the villagers.

Several young and strong men said, "Si Niang, you are the great benefactor of our village. Now that your son is in trouble, we cannot ignore it, and we will definitely catch him. "After saying that, he jumped into the water one after another.

The group of subordinates were very panicked when they saw the death of a person and ran away hurriedly.

Not long after, Fusheng was finally salvaged.

He saw Zhen Siniang crying in a daze, slowly stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears from her face.

Fusheng spoke for the first time, "I wanted to touch your face a long time ago, but now my wish is over. After I die, I hope my mother will never bury my body and put it in our house. "

Zhen Siniang nodded with tears in her eyes. Fusheng's eyes closed forever.

People helped transport Fusheng's body to Zhen Siniang's home.

Zhen Siniang bought a shroud and wanted to change it to Fusheng, but when she took off his clothes, she found that a lot of flesh had been cut off from his left thigh.

Zhen Siniang hugged Fusheng's body and cried: "My son, what's going on? "

At this moment, Liu Bancheng came over with a group of subordinates.

He wanted to lock Fusheng in his cellar and cut off his body with a knife, wanting to see if it could turn into gold ingots.

If he could, he would immediately become a rich man and would no longer have to worry about food and clothing.

Unexpectedly, this group of subordinates was not effective in doing their jobs, disrupting his plan.

But he was just a dead horse to treat him, and he would see if the corpse could change. Become a gold ingot.

Liu Bancheng looked around and found that there were many villagers who protected Zhen Siniang. If he forced himself to anger the villagers, it would be a big deal.

He bowed to the villagers and said earnestly: "Fusheng and Zhen Siniang have done a lot of good things for our village, and everyone sees it. However, Fusheng is a monster after all. If he keeps it at home like this, what should we do if it becomes a harmful evil spirit? "

The villagers all lowered their heads and remained silent. No one knew what to do. An old man in his twilight years asked, "According to what the clan leader saw, how should we deal with Fusheng's body be handled. "

Liu Bancheng said loudly: "It's better to carry Fusheng to my home. I will ask many Taoist monks to save him, hoping that he will be reborn as soon as possible. "

In fact, Liu Bancheng's intention was to cut off Fusheng's body and change it with straw. Anyway, he was wearing a shroud, and no one would notice this.

People didn't know what Liu Bancheng was thinking, but they just thought that this idea was good. Fusheng had done so many good things and should leave it decently, instead of putting it in the house and rotting.

Everyone persuaded Zhen Siniang.

Zhen Siniang shook her head, refused to agree, saying that she had promised her son and would not bury him.

Liu Bancheng lost his patience and ordered the group of men to steal the body.

Zhen Siniang lay on Fusheng and protected him tightly.

But Zhen Siniang is a weak woman, not the opponent of the strong man. After a while, she was dragged to the ground.

When the group of men wanted to lift Fusheng, Fusheng suddenly turned into a big black dog, with only half a face.

At this time, Zhen Siniang understood that Fusheng was reincarnated by the big black dog.She felt even more regretful. In order to protect herself in her previous life, the black dog died of a face cut off.

is reincarnated as his son in this life, and because he is afraid of being beaten by his husband, he has never looked for him once.

She wanted to touch the black dog's head, but the black dog bared his teeth and bit Liu Bancheng and his men to death.

The villagers were very scared when they saw this scene and knelt down on the ground, begging the black dog to spare their lives

The black dog ignored the villagers and fell directly into Zhen Siniang's arms.

Zhen Siniang stroked the black dog's face, which was only half apart, and big tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes and fell on the black dog.

At this moment, the black dog suddenly turned into one golden ingot after another.

Only then did people understand why Fusheng lacked so succulent on his thighs, and those golden ingots were actually made of the flesh on his body.

People felt very regretful when they saw this, and they cried to death. Unexpectedly, Fusheng would not hesitate to cut his flesh in order to survive the villagers, but everyone watched Fusheng be killed.

Zhen Siniang comforted the villagers and said, "I believe that Fusheng has created so many gold ingots. I hope everyone can live well. You can use this money to overcome difficulties and not let Fusheng down."

The villagers kept kowtowing to Zhen Siniang, and then left with the gold ingots.

After the villagers had money, they rebuilt their homes and finally lived a good life.

But they did not forget the kindness of Fusheng and Zhen Siniang. Not only did they build a temple for Fusheng, they also rushed to take care of Zhen Siniang.

Zhen Siniang recognized many godsons. In her later years, she was surrounded by a group of grandchildren and lived a very happy life.
