At the end, only the husband and wife were left. Fortunately, the young couple supported each other and lived a warm and sweet life.
But the good times did not last long. There was no rain for several months this year, and all the crops in the fields died of drought. The family had no rice and no money, and was at the end of its rope. Chen Yunsan had no choice but to grit his teeth and take his wife to the county to make a living.
The two of them made a good deal and packed up their bags early that morning, turned back step by step, and left their hometown with great reluctance.
When it was noon, the red sun was in the sky, and the heat was unbearable. Pan was already dripping with sweat and was walking hard. Looking at Chen Yunsan again, he was no better. His whole body was soaked with sweat and he was breathing heavily every time he took a step.
The two of them were miserable, so they simply got into the dense forest on the roadside, ready to rest for a while before continuing on their way!
As soon as he sat down in a shady place, he heard sounds coming from the bushes not far away.
Chen Yunsan couldn't help but frown, and followed the sound to take a look. When he saw the situation in front of him clearly, he was stunned and froze on the spot.
Seeing that her husband had a strange look on his face, Pan also walked over and followed his gaze, and saw a large python as thick as the mouth of a bowl in the grass, tightly wrapped around a colorful pheasant.
Seeing this horrific scene, Pan was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream out and hurriedly hid behind her husband. I just couldn't bear my curiosity, and then I stuck my head out to take a peek.
Then he saw that the pheasant, unwilling to sit still and wait for death, was still struggling to death. However, the strength was very different. As the huge body of the python tightened inch by inch, the pheasant's breath became weaker and weaker.
Seeing this, Mrs. Pan actually felt compassion.
may have felt this, because the pheasant actually looked at her asking for help.
Pan's heart felt weak again, and she quickly said to her husband: "Mr., this pheasant is so pitiful! How about we help it!"
Chen Yunsan shook his head and told her that it was natural for pythons to eat pheasants, just like people eating, and they should not interfere at will!
But no matter what he said, Pan just refused to obey. She insisted that the pheasant looked very pitiful and she insisted on her husband to save it.
Chen Yunsan has always doted on his wife, but under her constant pressure, he had no choice but to pick up a stick and hit the python hard!
The python was in pain and did not dare to fight anymore. It had no choice but to let go reluctantly, glanced at the couple bitterly, then swam into the grass very quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye!
The pheasant narrowly escaped death and stood up with fluttering wings. It seemed that he was still frightened by the previous experience where his life was hanging by a thread. He raised his legs and ran away hastily without knowing the direction. After running out for a few feet, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the couple.
Its eyes are much softer than the python's malicious eyes.
seemed to remember the appearance of its savior. Its eyes stayed on the couple for a moment, and then ran into the dense forest in the opposite direction of the python's departure.
After this incident, the couple had no intention of resting anymore, so they forced themselves out of the woods and continued on their way.
For a long time, neither of them spoke, and from time to time, the python's resentful look when it left came to mind!
Inexplicable uneasiness enveloped them, but fortunately nothing happened along the way.
Two days later, they arrived at the county town successfully, and Chen Yunsan also found a job as a handyman in Qian's house.
Not only that, Mr. Qian also lent them an abandoned yard to live in. The young couple finally had a place to stay in this strange place and their livelihood was secure.
The couple was grateful from the bottom of their hearts for Mr. Qian’s kindness. But how did they know that Yuan Wai Qian was actually a tyrant in the county, cruel and lustful! The reason why
took them in was not out of kindness at all, but because he saw Pan's beauty and planned to keep the couple by his side temporarily and then take the opportunity to do evil things!
As expected, within a month, he often went to tease Pan unscrupulously while Chen Yunsan was working.
But Pan was a chaste woman, neither coveting his money nor fearing his power. Although he tried his best to intimidate and induce her, she just gritted her teeth and would rather die than submit!
failed to succeed several times, and Mr. Qian was depressed, so he had no choice but to give up temporarily!
It’s just that Pan is worried about his own reputation. Of course, he is also worried that her husband will desperately fight Qian when he learns the truth.
After much thought, she decided to hide the matter.
Therefore, Chen Yunsan didn’t know about the dirty things his boss was doing behind his back, but he still tried his best to work for him every day!
Let’s talk about Mr. Qian, who was made disgraced by Pan, and felt very unhappy. Even when he was sleeping, he was thinking about how to get her!
I have something to think about every day and something to dream about at night!
That night, Mr. Qian was sleeping in a daze when he suddenly noticed a tall man with small and narrow eyes standing at the head of his bed.
But for some reason, he didn't feel scared at all in such a weird situation. Instead, he sat up straight and started chatting with the man!
The man called himself Uncle Liu, and he told Mr. Qian that the reason Pan refused to die was because she loved her husband deeply in her heart! If the obstacle of Chen Yunsan is eliminated, the helpless Pan will naturally be at his mercy!
Mr. Qian blinked and nodded repeatedly. In fact, he had already had this idea, but he hadn't thought of a perfect solution yet, so he didn't take action!
Uncle Liu seemed to be able to see through his mind, saying that he would just arrange for Chen Yunsan to go up the mountain to chop down trees tomorrow, and leave the rest to him. After tomorrow, Pan will become a widow!
Officer Qian was overjoyed and nodded quickly. But then another question arose in his mind, so he tentatively asked Uncle Liu why he wanted to help him!
Uncle Liu snorted coldly, and after a long while he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "I have a grudge against them! Don't ask any more questions, just remember what I said!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Qian was trembling all over, and he woke up immediately.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Uncle Liu in front of the bed.
It turns out that it was just a dream before!
But this dream is quite strange, it feels very real!
It was already twilight at this time, and Mr. Qian was not sleepy at all, so he immediately put on his clothes and got up.
While eating breakfast, he remembered that a new pigsty had been recently built at home, and he was about to send someone to cut wood on the mountain, so he called the housekeeper and said: "The new handyman Chen Yunsan, let him go to the mountain to help today!"
When the boss opened his mouth, the housekeeper naturally obeyed!
On this day, Chen Yunsan, who was originally going to hoe the fields, was temporarily arranged by the housekeeper to go up the mountain to cut trees. Just as he and his coworkers were carrying lumber through a dangerous section of road, a big snake suddenly emerged from the grass. Chen Yunsan staggered in panic and immediately fell from the roadside. If the worker behind
hadn't released the wood from his shoulders in time, he might have dragged him down the cliff! When everyone present saw this scene, they were all shocked and turned pale. There is a deep valley beside the road, at least dozens of feet deep. If you fall down, you will probably lose your body.
The news quickly reached Officer Qian's ears. He was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be very anxious and quickly arranged for manpower to search and rescue!
But the people sent out soon came back to report that the valley was bottomless, the rock walls were slippery, and there was no way down!
Mr. Qian expressed deep regret for this. After giving Pan a large amount of money as compensation, the matter ended like this!
My husband is dead, and even his bones cannot be recovered! Mrs. Pan cried so hard that she bought a coffin with the money she received as compensation from outsiders, packed up some of her husband's clothes, hats, shoes and socks to bury him in, and built a tomb for him!
That night, Mrs. Pan was weeping sadly in the yard, but she saw Mr. Qian suddenly come to the door. He first gave a few words of pretentious comfort, and then said with a smile: "Little lady, what are your plans for the future? Or just follow me." , you are still young, and you still have a long way to go in the future!"
Who knew that even though Pan was in this situation, he would still be resolute and unmoved despite all his efforts. He only said that he would keep his integrity for her husband and never remarry anyone else.
Seeing that he was too soft, Mr. Qian immediately turned his back. He rolled up his sleeves and started to use his hands and feet. He planned to fight hard and cook the raw rice into cooked rice!
Mrs. Pan immediately took out a pair of scissors, held it in her hand and pointed it at her neck. As long as Ms. Qian dared to take a step forward, she would immediately be covered in blood!
Seeing how tough she was, Mr. Qian didn't dare to push her hard, so he had to return home without interest. In the middle of the night, he dreamed of that Uncle Liu again!
Uncle Liu told Mr. Qian that Pan was so ungrateful that since he couldn’t get it, he might as well destroy it! Officer Qian thought he was going to repeat his old tricks again, so he made a silencing gesture as if asking.
Uncle Liu shook his head, and then said sadly: "It would be more cruel to destroy her proud face than to take her life!"
After saying this, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and placed it on the pillow outside the money clerk. Next to his head, he continued: "This is the strange poison in the world, 'Flicking the Finger Beauty Old'. Find an opportunity to let her take it, and keep it to teach her that life is worse than death!"
When Qian woke up the next day, he saw a white porcelain bottle next to his pillow. He immediately put it in his arms and sneaked to the yard where Pan lived.
Mrs. Pan was in a trance, so Qian Yuanwai found an opportunity without much effort to put the medicinal powder in the porcelain bottle into her breakfast without anyone noticing, and then hid in a hidden place to observe secretly.
As soon as Pan took a few bites of food, his body began to age at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a moment, she turned from a young and beautiful young woman into a gray-haired, wrinkled old woman!
Looking at her slender hands, which suddenly turned into dead branches, Pan finally realized something was wrong. She staggered to the table and took a look in the mirror. She screamed in shock and the mirror in her hand fell to the ground!
Just when she was panicking, Mr. Qian came out with a smile and said sarcastically: "Oh! Isn't this the little lady of the Pan family? Why is she like this? Hahahaha..."
Mr. Qian tried his best to ridicule Pan, humiliating her completely, and finally issued an eviction order, asking her to move out of the yard immediately!
Mrs. Pan was about to cry but didn’t say much. She dragged her aging body and walked tremblingly towards her husband’s tomb!
Sitting at the grave until evening, Pan took off her belt and hung it on a crooked tree. Without any hesitation, she put her head into the knotted rope!
's consciousness began to blur, and then an anxious voice suddenly came from his ears: "Madam, no..."
This voice was so familiar!
Could it be that my husband came to pick me up? Pan's mouth couldn't help but reveal a faint smile, and then he fainted!
When she opened her eyes again, she suddenly found that she was lying in her husband's warm arms. Chen Yunsan was looking at her with his head lowered and concern on his face!
Pan smiled slightly and said: "Mr. sir, this must be the underworld, right? No matter where it is, we are finally reunited!"
Chen Yunsan also smiled, shook his head and said: "No! This is not the underworld, I am not dead, you Not dead! We are all still alive!"
"Really? What is going on..." Pan was surprised and happy when he heard this. He immediately sat up and suddenly found that his body became lighter again and his hands were as good as before!
Looking at his wife with questions in her eyes, Chen Yunsan slowly told the truth!
It turns out that the pythons and pheasants the couple met in the forest were spirits that had been practicing for hundreds of years. They met and fought together on a narrow road that day.
The cultivation of the two demons was actually about the same, but due to nature and primitive fear, the pheasant finally fell into the disadvantage and was about to be buried in the snake's belly. At the critical moment, Chen Yunsan and his wife stepped forward to drive away the python that was about to eat. Although
saved the pheasant's life, it also laid the foundation for disaster.
In the dream, it was the snake demon who repeatedly instigated Qian Yuanwai to deal with the couple. On that day, Chen Yunsan was frightened by the sudden snake and fell into the ravine. It was the pheasant spirit who tried his best to save his life.
When the plan failed, the snake demon instigated Qian Yuanwai to poison Pan. Fortunately, Chen Yunsan, who had recovered, arrived in time and rescued his wife who had just hanged herself.
Just looking at his gray-haired wife, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He is so old that even if he is rescued, he will not survive for a few days!
The following pheasant pondered for a while and then said: "We animals have clear grudges. We have revenge and kindness! Your wife has saved my life, and I will never sit idly by! "
Chen Yunsan quickly asked: "Is there anything you can do?"
Pheasant Jing forced out a smile and said: "Yes, as long as I use the 'Rejuvenation Technique', I will keep you a young and beautiful wife!"
Hearing this, Pan's wife He quickly asked his husband: "So, it was the pheasant spirit that saved me? Then where is he? I want to thank him very much!"
Chen Yunsan shook his head bitterly and said: "The so-called "rejuvenation technique" was just made up by him casually! In fact, he used his own The inner elixir was spit out for you to take, and your appearance was restored. Without the inner elixir, he became an ordinary pheasant again, and now he has fled to the mountains to practice again!"
Pan was stunned after hearing this, with mixed feelings in his heart, and could no longer speak.
Chen Yunsan helped her up and said, "Let's go! Everything is over, let's go home!"
Pan then noticed that her husband was limping when he walked, and she couldn't help but asked in shock: "Ms. sir, you..."
Chen Yunsan smiled and said, "It's okay, my life is saved! The lame leg is nothing!"
Looking at her husband's forced smile, Pan did not speak again. But she was thinking to herself, whose fault is it? Maybe, I shouldn’t have interfered with nature in the first place!
