Chapter 8: The Past of Meng Po (1)

When Meng Xingyuan woke up, he found himself lying in a small forest, surrounded by many unknown wildflowers, and a winding river flowing slowly, and his ears were filled with the sound of cicadas.

As for how he came here, Meng Xingyuan couldn't remember it at all. He thought uncertainly in his heart: Could it be that I have really traveled to the Qin Dynasty?

"What kind of place is this?" Meng Xingyuan muttered quietly.

Ah Feng's voice came into his ears again: "Stupid, of course this is Meng Po's hometown." Have you forgotten what we're here for?"

Meng Xingyuan remembered it all of a sudden, and said, "So, we are really in the Qin Dynasty now. Where is Meng Po? Let's go and save her. ”

"Don't worry, because Meng Po and her husband haven't met yet. Ah Feng said lazily, "You can go to the river and take a picture of it now, and see how the new look I designed for you is." ”

Meng Xingyuan arrived at the river, and in the clear river water, he saw his reflection clearly, only to see that he was wearing a dirty and tattered turban, and his face was as black as if he hadn't washed it for a month. Looking down at his body, he saw a robe with countless holes and indistinguishable colors, the narrow sleeve on the left side was missing half of it, and the leather belt around his waist was even more shabby.

"Why did you make me like this?" Meng Xingyuan shouted a little angrily.

"You want to play a beggar to get close to Meng Po, have you forgotten?" Because it was daytime, Ah Feng still stayed in Meng Xingyuan's ears to avoid the sun.

Meng Xingyuan continued to complain very dissatisfied: "But, you are too bad for me, right? I was already very ugly, and you made me such an ugly dress." ”

"Big brother, it's the Qin Dynasty now, people are dressed like this. What can I do? Do you want to wear pointy leather shoes, jeans, a long trench coat, and sunglasses?"

"Not really. Meng Xingyuan reluctantly accepted his style, "We are not filming a brainless anti-Japanese TV series." ”

"That's the right thing to think. After educating Meng Xingyuan, Ah Feng said again: "You remember for me, if you dare to yell at me again in the future, I will drill your brain from your ears and eat your brain!"

Meng Xingyuan apologized again and again, and Ah Feng was slightly relieved.

"Are we really in the Qin Dynasty?" Meng Xingyuan asked a little excited, and a little suspicious.

"That's right. The location where we are now is the Jiangnan region during the Qin Dynasty. ”

After speaking, she instructed Meng Xingyuan to go to Meng Po's house. On the way, Ah Feng carefully recounted Meng Po's tragic experience when she was in the world.

It turned out that during the Qin Dynasty, not far south of Suzhou Creek, there was a village called Mengjiazhuang, and there was an old man in the village who was good at planting gourds, surnamed Meng, and everyone called him Meng Laohan.

This year, the gourd planted by Meng Laohan grew exceptionally well, and even one of them reached the house of his neighbor Jiang Laohan, and a big gourd was produced. The two families love this big gourd very much, watering and fertilizing it every day, and taking care of it carefully.

Finally, when the gourd was ripe, just when the two old men were about to pick the big gourd together, there were bursts of children's cries from the gourd, and the two carefully cut the gourd, only to see a cute little girl crying in the gourd.

The two old men liked it very much and agreed to raise the little girl together. Because Meng Laohan had no children and no daughters, the two named the little girl Meng Jiangnu. The two of them love Meng Jiangnu very much, as if they were their own daughters.

When Meng Jiangnu grew up, she was born with a beautiful appearance and a shy flower, and she was ingenious and had a well-known needlework. The young men in the nearby villages came to propose marriage, but Meng Jiangnu couldn't look down on any of them.

One summer afternoon, Meng Jiangnu was walking in her back garden, and suddenly saw two beautiful butterflies, she was about to catch butterflies, but she heard a voice behind her. She looked back and saw a young man, although his face was full of dust and his robe was shabby, but when he looked closely, he was also magnificent, and his bearing was extraordinary. Meng Jiangnu's face turned red, and she hurriedly called Meng Laohan.

After talking, Meng Laohan and Meng Jiangnu learned that this young man's name was Fan Xiliang and he was a foreigner. At that time, Qin Shi Huang was arresting adult men for the construction of the Great Wall. Fan Xiliang fled his hometown and went to Mengjiazhuang because he was hiding from the government.

Seeing that he was knowledgeable and loyal, the Meng father and daughter took him in and lived in their own home. Meng Jiangnu even secretly promised Fan Xiliangfang, but because she was a girl and the social atmosphere at that time, she couldn't show it obviously.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Meng Laohan saw his daughter's intentions, so he proposed to recruit Fan Xiliang as his son-in-law. Fan Xiliang is also an amorous person, and he fell in love with Meng Jiangnu at first sight, so he naturally agreed.

Just when Meng Jiangnu and Fan Xiliang were immersed in sweet joy, disaster was quietly coming. There was a ruffian hooligan in Mengjiazhuang, surnamed Peng. This guy eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, does all kinds of evil, and even because he doesn't pay for prostitution, he was blocked by several prostitutes and scolded at the door of his house. His parents were so ashamed that they both committed suicide.

In this way, there is no one to restrain him. He successively worshipped a man surnamed Zhao and a man surnamed Zheng as godfathers in the village, and willingly started to be a dog. In addition, this person was born with brown hair, and the people in the village called him Peng Brown Dog.

Peng Brown Dog Toad wanted to eat swan meat, and he had come to Meng's house many times to propose marriage, but Meng Laohan sternly refused, so he held a grudge. When he saw that Meng Jiangnu and someone else were about to get married, he secretly went to the government to tell the informant, saying that Fan Xiliang was evading military service, and personally led the way for the officers and soldiers to arrest Fan Xiliang.

On the third day of Meng Jiangnu and Fan Xiliang's wedding, when the two were still in harmony and glue, the officers and soldiers suddenly broke into the door and tied up Fan Xiliang. Poor newlywed Yan'er Meng Jiangnu, watching her newlywed husband being arrested, tears flowed.

At this time, Peng Brown Dog was really like a dog, wagging his tail to ask the leader of the officers and soldiers for a reward. The leader rolled his eyes and thought: If I tie you up and pay you together, not only will I not have to give you a reward, but I can also make up a number.

The poor and even more hateful Peng Brown Dog not only did not get his own reward, but was also tied up and escorted to the north to build the Great Wall with Fan Xiliang and others. During the escort, Peng Brown Dog waited for an opportunity to escape, but failed, and was cut off by the officers and soldiers, and the body was thrown in the ravine and fed to the wild dogs. This is the retribution of evil.

In a blink of an eye, winter came, and Meng Jiangnu was worried that her husband was building the Great Wall in the north, and the weather was freezing and there was no cotton clothes, so she made cotton clothes overnight. Then, a man traveled thousands of miles to deliver cotton clothes for his husband.

After many hardships along the way, he finally came to the foot of the Great Wall, only to learn that his husband had died of exhaustion, hunger and cold last month, and even his body was buried under the Great Wall.

Meng Jiangnu's heart was like a knife, and she was so sad that she cried bitterly at the Great Wall. Her cry moved the heavens and the earth, the white clouds stopped, and the birds were silenced. Meng Jiangnu cried for ten days and ten nights. Suddenly, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, the Great Wall was shaken down, and it fell for 800 miles, and Fan Xiliang's bones were exposed.

The collapse of the Great Wall of 800 miles at once was definitely a big deal, and Qin Shi Huang quickly got a report. Qin Shi Huang was furious and wanted to kill Meng Jiangnu, but when he saw Meng Jiangnu, he couldn't help but be attracted by her beauty and wanted to take it for himself.

Meng Jiangnu said: "If you want me to promise you, it's not difficult, as long as you promise me three things first." ”

Qin Shi Huang was overjoyed and said, "Don't say three things, that is, thirty things, and I will promise you." ”

"First, you are going to bury my husband's bones in a sandalwood coffin. The second thing is that you will wear linen and filial piety for my husband and bury him behind the hearse. Third, before entering the palace, I want to go to the Yellow River for a visit. Meng Jiangnu made her request.

Although Qin Shi Huang was very angry in his heart, in order to get Meng Jiangnu, he had to laugh: "I agreed." ”
