Chapter 349: Love and Revenge (I)
What Li Suyun really didn't expect was that this story would actually be related to the Kang Yi period, what a long time it was. In the body of idiom Fan, what kind of adventure did he have when he first encountered these five divine powers?
......
It is said that during the Kangyi years, there was such a merchant in Dongping County, surnamed Zhang Mingwan. Although he is close to forty years old, he still looks like a baby face.
Therefore, people who know him will call him Xiao Wanzi. And Zhang Wan also likes such a title, which seems to be close to Ouwei, which also has a trace of comfort for him who has been lonely since he was a child.
In other words, during the Kangyi years, there was such a merchant in Dongping County, surnamed Zhang Mingwan, although he was close to his forties, he still looked like a baby. Therefore, people who know him will call him Xiao Wanzi. And Zhang Wan also likes this title, it seems quite close, which also has a trace of comfort for him who has been lonely since he was a child.
Zhang Wan carries the burden of the merchant all the year round, and goes to the village to sell some needles and threads and bits and pieces, and has earned broken silver, which is now what we call living expenses, and this life is still passable. One day after the autumn of this year, the autumn breeze was refreshing, Zhang Wan, who was carrying the burden of the merchant, entered the city to buy the goods, and after finishing the goods, he asked for a plate of peanuts and two taels of wine in a tavern, and poured himself up.
Of course, by the time the goods are finished, the sun is almost setting. After this wine and food were full, the sun had already set on the mountain, and only a ray of afterglow was still hanging on the sky. It's common to get up early and be greedy for darkness, so Zhang Wan's courage is also quite big. He didn't care about any beasts and ghosts. As long as he believes that people are kind-hearted, God will bless them with long glasses.
At night, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and the night was getting thicker and thicker, of course, Zhang Wan also quickened his pace, and unconsciously walked out of the road for six or seven miles.
At this time, because I drank a little wine in the tavern, and I was in a hurry to go home, I was really tired and sweaty, and I felt very thirsty, so I wanted to find a place to rest for a while, and if there was a family that was better, I could ask for a little water to drink.
Zhang Wan walked out for another mile or two, and finally saw a dim light not far away, and when he walked in, a small courtyard and a small wooden house appeared faintly in front of him. When I saw it, there was really a family, but I didn't even think there was a family when I was passing by before.
However, at this time, Zhang Wan, who was a little tired and thirsty, didn't bother to think so much, took a few steps and made a step, and quickly came to the gate of the courtyard, stretched out his hand, and knocked on the door three times.
It was not long before a young man came out of the hut, followed by a young woman. This young man is very handsome, and the young woman is also very pretty.
The young man was holding an oil lamp in his hand, and after opening the door, Zhang Wan hugged his fist at the young man and said: "Little brother, I'm a passing merchant, I'm thirsty, I want to ask for a bowl of water to drink here, I don't know if it's okay?"
The young man looked Zhang Wan up and down, and said softly: "Since you want to beg for a drink, then please come in!"
Zhang Wan, who followed the master in, was angry as soon as he entered the house, and then he connected two large bowls of water. The appearance of pouring water, if this bowl is wine, will definitely be praised: a large amount of it!
However, at this time, Zhang Wan also saw the young man standing in front of him clearly. The young man in front of him was wearing a long shirt, his eyebrows were clear, and his whole body was full of scholarly atmosphere. And the young woman next to him, although the clothes are not luxurious, but they are also very gorgeous, dignified and gentle, and at a glance they know that they are the ladies of a large family.
How could such a scholarly young man, a beautiful young lady, be in this small cabin, which aroused Zhang Wan's curiosity.
Zhang Wan clenched his fists in confusion and asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi, seeing that you and this young lady were not born in a small peasant family, why do you live in this remote place?"
When the scholar was asked by Zhang Wan, the scholar and the young lady couldn't help but show a sad look, and the young lady's eyes were faintly filled with tears.
The scholar gently patted the young lady's shoulder, signaling not to be sad. The scholar couldn't help but sigh: "I see that the eldest brother is also a kind-hearted person, so we won't hide it," the scholar paused slightly, and then said, "Don't hide it, we are the souls of the spring." ”
As soon as he said this, he only heard the sound of "pop", and the big bowl in Zhang Wan's hand had already fallen to the ground and was shattered.
"Big brother don't need to be afraid, although we are the souls of the spring, we are not harmless. Actually......"
The young ghost scholar told Zhang Wan that his name was Liu Wenzhong, and the young woman's name was Zhao Xiaoyu, who was originally from Ganzhou, Hubei. Li Wenzhong's father is Liu Yun, and Xiaoyu's father Zhao Decheng is a fellow countryman, and the friendship between the two is deep, and they are brothers and sisters.
At that time, Liu Wenzhong and Zhao Xiaoyu were still young, but the two often played together, which can be described as two little guesses, like brother and sister. In today's terms, that's a childhood sweetheart. The exam was held that year, and their fathers both went to the exam together, and after the list was released, Zhao De successfully became famous, while Liu Yun was named Sun Shan.
The successful Zhao Decheng did not lack the appointment of a magistrate in other provinces, and before taking his family to take office, the two friends booked the lifelong events of the young Liu Wenzhong and Zhao Xiaoyu.
Of course, Liu Yun did not give up fame and fortune, and took the exam twice in a row, but after all, he was not on the list, and he was disheartened from then on, and he no longer thought about the career path.
Day after day, year after year, before I knew it, Liu Wenzhong was already nineteen years old. His father, Liu Yun, asked him to go to his father-in-law, marry Zhao Xiaoyu, and study there so that he could continue to gain fame. Liu Wenzhong is talented and intelligent, and Liu's father thinks that it is not difficult for Liu Wenzhong to gain a fame.
Following his father's order, Liu Wenzhong left his hometown, trekked through mountains and rivers, and finally came to Baoxi County. And Baoxi County is less than 100 miles away from Dongping County. Liu Wenzhong saw that it was getting late, so he stayed at an inn in Baoxi County.
At dawn the next day, Liu Wenzhong continued on the road. Because it is getting closer and closer to Dongping County, Liu Wenzhong is greedy for darkness and wants to go to Dongping County as soon as possible. But who would have expected that it was this greedy for a little darkness, and a few people with knives rushed out of the roadside woods, and at first glance they were the people of the green forest.
The machete was put on Liu Wenzhong's neck, asking him to hand over the money, otherwise it would cost him his life. Think about it, a weak scholar has long been frightened when he encounters this knife-wielding robbery. Several robbers searched Liu Wenzhong's whole body, and turned out a few coppers, the robbers were angry and annoyed, and felt very unlucky, and in a fit of anger, they understood Liu Wenzhong.
At the same time, Liu Wenzhong's body was also carried to a new grave that was newly built not long ago, and the new grave was dug up and Liu Wenzhong was buried.
However, no one expected that this new tomb was actually the tomb of Zhao Xiaoyu that Liu Wenzhong had been thinking about.
The two did not meet in the yang world, but met in this evil world.
