The spring breeze blows through Mylon, and the large wheat fields set off layers of dark green wheat waves, surging to the ridges in waves.

The young man hoeing in the field sweated like rain in the sun, and his patched coarse cloth clothes were soaked and stuck to his body.

Not far away, an old woman on crutches walked slowly from the path, reached the young man's side, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked, "Young man, is there a village ahead?" ”

The young man stopped what he was doing, put his long hoe on the ground, and looked up at the old woman, who saw that she was in tattered clothes, with white hair, and a notched bowl in his hand, as if he had made a long journey to this place.

Stretching out his hand and pointing to the end of the road, the young man said, "Mother-in-law, turn the corner in front of you, and walk a little further to the village." ”

The old woman thanked the young man, and hobbled with her stick to the other side of the village.

The young man saw that the old woman's pair of straw sandals had worn out, and her feet were blistered, and her rickety figure was walking alone on the road, which was obviously very pitiful, so he asked more, "Mother-in-law, where are you from?" Looks like you've been in a hurry! ”

As soon as she asked this, the old woman stopped, hid her face and began to cry, and said sadly: "There was a flood in the old woman's house, and her son and daughter-in-law died, so the old woman was left, begging all the way, and she had to live one day at a time!" ”

As soon as he heard this, the young man's heart instantly softened and asked, "Have you had breakfast, mother-in-law?" ”

The old woman shook her head, "I haven't eaten a steamed bun since a kind person gave me a steamed bun at noon last year." ”

When the young man heard this, he looked up and saw that it was not too early, so he picked up his hoe and said to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, it just so happens that I am also from the village in front, and I have worked for half a day since dawn, and I have not eaten, and I have nothing else at home, just some coarse tea and light rice, if you don't dislike it, go to my house to eat a bite and then leave." ”

When the old woman heard this, she hurriedly made a gesture to the young man, and was for a time so moved that she could not express it.

The young man took the old woman all the way back to the house, and when he returned this morning than usual, he found that the door of his house was still closed, and although there was smoke coming out of the chimney, he did not see his wife coming in or out.

The young man thought that his wife had gotten up early and was busy with the affairs of the house, and before he could open the door, he asked the old woman to wait in the yard, and went to the east room to see that the old mother, who had been paralyzed for more than a year, was still asleep, so he quietly closed the door, went to his house, stretched out his hand and pushed the door.

After a little effort, the door did not open, and the young man felt that the house was old, and the wooden door was a little shafted, so he reached out and pushed it again, and then found that the door of the room was bolted from the inside.

The young man stood outside the house, and just opened his mouth to call his wife's name, but before he could make a sound, he heard a man's voice inside: "Leave him alone, the spring wind is strong, and it must be blowing the door again." ”

After a few lewd laughs, there was a sound of shame in the room, and his wife reminded with a little prodigal breath: "You better go quickly, my dead husband, who will be back in a little while." ”

"Afraid of what?" The man smiled, as if he reached out and patted the flesh twice, "If he finds out, he will be paralyzed with the same medicine as your mother-in-law, and we will pour a bowl of drowsiness medicine, and in front of him, he doesn't even know that he has become a king." ”

His wife laughed twice, thinking it was a funny joke.

The young man outside the door was so angry that his face turned red, his wife, who had always been gentle and virtuous in his heart, was doing this behind his back, and his mother-in-law, who had raised him with hard work, was actually paralyzed in bed by this pair of dogs and men!

Unable to bear it any longer, the young farmer raised his foot and kicked open the dilapidated wooden door of his house, and rushed into the house with a hoe, when he saw two people naked, doing the invisible man's deeds.

As soon as the two of them saw someone coming in on the bed, the woman hurriedly covered it with a quilt, and the man didn't care about lifting his pants, and ran out desperately, but no matter how fast he ran, he still suffered a few blows on his back, bruises and purple and bleed, and when he went out, he tripped over the door frame, and his head broke and bled out, but he still ran out, for fear that he would run slowly, and his life would be confessed.

The man ran away, and the woman covered the quilt and shivered on the bed, her teeth trembled, knowing that what she said now was useless, so she kept kowtowing, wanting her husband to read it for the sake of the husband and wife, and let her go.

As it turned out, the young man, though he was angry for a moment, quickly calmed down, went over and slapped his wife hard, and then walked out the door wiping a handful of tears.

The man went to the village chief and said a few words, the village chief patted him on the shoulder and comforted him a few times, turned around and went out, and after a while, the nearby yacha came to take away the woman with half a swollen face, the woman cried and cried and couldn't argue, and everyone talked about her and the adulterer's charges as if they were plotting for life, and they couldn't get a light sentence if they wanted to.

The people in the village slowly dispersed, and the young man did not grieve for himself at the first time, but used all the money in the family to invite the doctor to come and see, because the old lady on the bed was not awake from sleep, and the power of the sweat medicine she had taken had not passed, the doctor found out as soon as he came, and gave the young man a prescription and said that if he did not continue to use the harmful medicine, the old lady would be better in a few days.

After the young man had sent off the doctor, he sat alone in the courtyard, holding his head and crying and laughing, happy that his mother's illness had been cured, and crying that his wife, who had been in pain for several years, was such a poisonous woman.

The smell of burnt rice came from the pot, and the young man got up from the ground, went to the house and took two nests that were not too mushy and handed them to the old woman, and said with red eyes: "Mother-in-law, you can take these two dry foods and go, I won't leave you in this house to eat." ”

The old woman did not stretch out her hand to take the nest, but only comforted the young man: "There is a saying in the world called "bitterness comes to the end", you are a good person, and a good day is still waiting for you in the future. With that, he walked slowly out of the courtyard.

In the village from the east end to the west end, a young woman by the river was washing clothes with a doll on her back, and the old woman passed by and walked up to the doll, looked at the doll, and praised the woman for her good looks, and for being a blessed person.

Who knew that the woman with the doll on her back lowered her head and smiled, her voice was cheerful, but the words she said were bitter to hear.

"Mother-in-law! I am a good woman, but I am a widow, the child's father died when I was pregnant, and I am now alone with the doll, saying that it is not bitter, but good fortune is not counted. ”

The old woman sighed and said, "Human life! There is no one who is smooth, whether it is you or the young man from the easternmost family in the village, there is always someone to be a companion, but I am the only one left with the old woman. ”

When the woman heard this, she mentioned the easternmost house in the village, slowly put down the washed clothes, and asked, "What's wrong with my brother Shulin?" Aren't the sister-in-law and the old lady all right? ”

"It's a long story!" The old woman sighed and told the woman what had happened, but she saw the woman pick up the tub and carry the doll on her back and run towards the east end of the village.

The old woman sat by the stream, stretched out her hand to support her cheeks, looked at the gurgling water, and said leisurely: "Life is a life of all kinds of bitterness, sweet and sour, cold and warm is difficult to take care of, fortunately there is a bamboo horse leaning on the green plum, and the two hearts are not suspicious. ”

After reading it, it was quiet all around, and in the reflection of the stream, there was no longer the figure of the old woman.

In the Xianguan Temple a few miles away, Huayun Xianguan came out of the whole clothes, and was just about to return to Xianjun, but found an old man with gray hair sitting on the side of the road not far away.

Hua Yun looked at the back a little familiar, glanced over, and said in surprise: "Why is Old Man Yue here?" But what trouble did you run into? ”

As soon as Yue Lao looked up and saw Hua Yun, he was about to cry with tears in his eyes, "Finally, a kind-hearted person came, I know you will definitely help me." ”

Hua Yun stretched out his hand to help Yue Lao Chao up, and comforted: "Don't worry, you can speak slowly." ”

Chao Jiu slowly said that the nine heavens above the West Shenjun Liao Zhen bullied people, and after drinking wine, he went to his Yuelao Palace to pull the marriage line to play, he just stopped a little, said a few words, and was beaten by the West Shenjun, and left mortal, pitiful for his Yuelao cultivation as thin and powerless, so he had to wait for someone to help in the mortal world.

Hua Yun listened, and there was a trace of regret on his face, but he never said anything bad about Naxi Shenjun, and only warmly said: "Anyone has a problem, you get up and go to my temple to rest for a while, and I will help you heal." ”

Yue Lao Chao thanked him again and again, was supported by Hua Yun, and went to the Xianguan Temple dedicated to Hua Yun.

Sitting in front of the temple platform, he looked around, and then remembered to ask, "Why did Huayun Immortal Official go down to the mortal world?" But what's the matter? ”

Hua Yun said softly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that an old lady once petitioned me in a dream to help deal with some trivial things. ”

Chao Jie praised: "Huayun Immortal Official is kind and upright, don't say that there are many believers in this mortal world, even if you look at the Immortal County, or even the Six Realms, no one will say that Huayun Immortal is bad." ”

Chao Jie touted like this, Hua Yun was not proud, his expression on his face was just right, and he said modestly: "Just do your part, there is nothing good or bad." As he spoke, he used the exercises to help Yue Chao heal his injuries.

After about half an hour, Hua Yun slowly stopped, because Chao Jiao suffered some small injuries outside the skin, and he didn't have to spend too much energy, everything was done, Hua Yun got up and asked about Chao Jiu's injury, seeing that the other party was already fine, Hua Yun thought about everything carefully, and then said goodbye to Chao Jiao and went towards Xianjun.
