Chapter 353: Once upon a time

In the past, there was a leader of the Yi nationality named Ru Mo, one fierce and two evil, sitting firmly in the country, leading troops to rob everywhere, and killing the people at will. He is happy to tell you to die, and if he wants you to live, everyone is resentful, and everyone dare not say it, and everyone hopes that God will quickly accept him back to the oil pot.

At that time, there was a young man of the Yi nationality, named Dou Geda, a young man who was born with a good temper, a good temper, honest, and diligent, talking and doing things, some old and some young. His young wife was as beautiful as a camellia, and she was so clever that she could pick flowers and embroider them, and her house was neatly and cleanly. The two couples said that I listened, it was really hot. He has a younger sister, who is also very beautiful, and relatives, friends, and neighbors often talk about the three members of his family.

Douktha went to serve Rumo every day, which doesn't count, if there is a battle, he has to fight with it. One day, his wife's dexterous hands, three days and two nights of busyness, weaved a "densely folded" sachet and brought it to him, and told him: "When you meet Rumo, hide the belt; When you meet a friend, show the band. He promised, "Yes!" yes!"

One morning, as Dou Geda swept the floor in the Rumo House, a corner peeking out of the crack in his clothes, and the light shone through half of the room.

When Rumo saw this, he asked strangely, "What did you bring?" Take me to see it. ”

He regretted that he shouldn't have been careless and that it was too late, so he had to take out the "dense pleats" sachet and hand it over.

The sachet dazzled Rumo's eyes. Rumo tilted his head and looked at it, and then he stretched his neck and sniffed and sniffed, and it took a long time before he said, "Brother Dou, if this sachet is made by your wife, exchange my wife for your wife; If your mother did it, exchange my mother for your mother. ”

Dou Geda faked a push: "It was my sister who did it." ”

Then the cunning Rumo said, "Bring your wife and your sister, and I will look at their hands and see which one did it."

In this way, Dougoda was very anxious, and walked for a long time before returning home.

He came home to explain the beginning and the end. My sister said, "I'll go and share my brother's and sister-in-law's worries."

The next day, my sister washed her hands and put on the best dresses and jewelry in the house, and she was beautiful and shiny. Her sister-in-law didn't even wash her hands when she was cooking, she wore very old clothes, and got up and went all the way.

In Ru Mo's house, the two aunts and sisters-in-law stretched out their hands from the window to identify Ru Mo across a layer of board walls, and the result was who made the "dense pleats" sachet, and the real and fake were still recognized by Ru Mo. Rumo told them to go back and secretly designed it himself.

In the middle of the night, someone came to Rumo: "Tell Doogda to prepare swords and horses overnight, and go with Rumo's team to the place of Samai to fight."

Dou Keda knew that disaster was coming, and it was difficult to hide, so he asked his wife, "Do you still have the wine and meat from three years ago?"

She said, "No."

He asked, "Are there any pears and walnuts from three years ago?"

At this time, she thought that her husband had accidentally caused trouble, and she was so anxious that she would not be able to eat it if she found it, so she had to reply, "No."

Early the next morning, he asked his wife, "Which horse to ride?"

At this time, she was sad for her husband, and said truthfully: "The beautiful one is the flower horse, the beautiful one is the red horse, and the one that is easy to ride should be considered a dark horse." ”

Dou Ngoda prepared the saddle and carried the long shuttle dart, and he was about to part. His wife, whose heart was like a knife, always wanted to be around for a while, and talked a few more words, so she said, "Wait a minute, the wine and meat, pears, and walnuts from three years ago are still there, and I will bring them to you to eat before you go!" At this time, he couldn't eat a bite, so he said, "Don't eat it." "Dou Ge Ruda rode on a black horse, went, far away, and disappeared. His wife watched her husband's back disappear into the shade of the bend of the mountain, and she couldn't help crying.

It turned out that Rumo was not going to fight, but only took the soldiers away for a ride, and when he reached the mountain gorge, he told his men and horses to stop and shouted, "Hurry up." A lot of bright knives shook and slashed straight at Dougata. Dou Ge and Ruda fought hard for a while, but they couldn't rush away, so they were innocently beheaded. When the people saw the man's head, they did not fall off the horse, but tore off their white shirts, dipped their hands in the blood on their necks, and wrote letters under the saddle, and then fell to the ground and died. The black horse galloped home. And Thou shalt send men to guard the dead bodies, and they led their troops back.

Doukata's wife was very sad in her heart, and she sat on the grass and looked blankly at the mountains and clouds where her husband had gone. When the sun was on the slope, the black horse returned, and it was closer, and one by one, the black horse came back alone, standing in front of her, not moving. She hurriedly asked, "Are you the one who announces the good news -- call three times, and the one who reports the bad news -- get out three times." As soon as she finished speaking, the black horse rolled three times, got up and shook it, and a bloody white cloth fell from the saddle, which she held and looked at, and it turned out to be the blood letter of farewell given to her by Brother Dou Ge Da.

She cried and fell to the ground, until her sister-in-law came to wake her up, she stood up, stopped crying, she told her sister-in-law to go back to the housekeeper, and she went to inquire about the truth herself.

She stood on the side of the road and asked the returning group, "Have you seen Dou Geda?"

They all said, "I don't see it."

It wasn't until the sun went down that Rumo came back with the last of his men, and she asked one of the soldiers, "Have you seen Dougotha?"

The soldier said, "Someone else will be able to take a knife, so take the tip of the knife down." He would not take the knife, but he took the tip of the knife upwards, and when the horse jumped, the knife met the base of his neck, and he killed himself. ”

When she heard this, she thought that she really died like this, and it was so sad to think that she would be helpless in the future, so she took off her long headkerchief and hung her neck from the stalk.

Ru Mo hurriedly asked someone to relieve him, and persuaded him: "In the future, when you come to serve Ru Mo, you don't have to worry about good clothing, food and drink."

She said, "He is the head of the king, I am the people, and the people are worthy of the king."

Rumo hurriedly explained: "Alas, as long as you are well-born, have high skills, and have a clever mind, what kind of superiority and humility do you talk about?"

Only then did she really understand who had killed her husband. Her heart moved, and she turned around and said, "In this way, I don't dare not disobey, but I must promise to do three things before I am willing to serve, if not, I will hang it."

Mo hurriedly said, "Yes, you can promise to do anything."

She said, "The first thing: I want to recite the sutra to my husband, and I want to kill a sheep and make a mountain white, I want to kill a goat and a mountain that is black, and I want to kill a cow and make a mountain red."

Rumo said, "Yes! Be! Let's talk about the second piece. ”

She said: "The second piece: 99 sets of dresses, shoes, socks, cloaks, and silk handkerchiefs made of satin of various colors, 99 gold and silver bracelets, rings, and earrings, and 99 salts."

Rumo agreed, and asked a third one.

She said: "The third thing: On the day when I have recited the sutra for 100 days to my husband, when the sun is eccentric, I will use 99 dry firewood to burn it, and on the day of burning the corpse and bones, I will go to see it in person, and the husband and wife will meet for the last time."

Rumo said, "It's easy to do, as long as you want to do it like this." Rumo happily sent someone to do so, and chose twelve pairs of rings to serve the beauty. She got her dress and salt, and soaked them all together in the water, and then took them out to dry and stored them.

When the hundred days were over, the beauty put on new dresses and jewelry, and the rest of the gold and silver jewelry and dresses were packed in baskets, and the maid ring lifted her up and followed her to the place where the body was burned.

She saw that Ru Mo had already arrived, and saw that the Taoist priest was still reciting scriptures, and the cattle and sheep that had been killed were all red, white, and black on the mountains on three sides, and the dry firewood on the flat ground was also piled up on the slopes. The Taoist priest pointed his hand and saw several old people carrying Dou Geda's body on the pyre, lighting a fire, and suddenly the fire was soaring to the sky, and the dry firewood exploded. When the Taoist priest stepped forward to look, not a single hair of Dou Geda was burning, Ru Mo was shocked and panicked, and hurriedly asked the Taoist priest to hurry up and recite the scriptures, and asked the fairy fire to come down to burn, but it didn't burn.

Rumo hurriedly asked the beauty, "Why can't it be burned?"

The beauty said, "You promised him to exchange your wife for his wife, and now he wants your wife."

Rumo ordered: "Burn it to him." ”

In this way, Rumo's poor wife was thrown to the match and burned alive, and her cries were so terrible that they could be heard from afar.

But Doukatta still didn't burn. Ru Mo asked the Taoist priest to ask the immortal fire to burn, but it couldn't burn, so he had to ask the beauty again, and the beauty said, "He wants your son."

Rumo asked, "Why is that?"

The beauty said, "He is afraid that my future son will be bullied." ”

Thou shalt be heartbroken, and said, "Burn it to him."

So the son of Rumo was thrown into the fire and burned alive.

Dou Geda still can't burn, and Rumo asks the beauty again. The beauty said, "He still wants your mother in his heart."

Rumo asked, "Why is that?"

The beauty said, "He heard that your mother has a bad temper, and he is afraid that I will be wronged in the future." ”

Rumo also said, "Call him."

Rumo's mother was also burned by the fire. In this way, Rumo's family was burned, but Dougada's body still couldn't burn. Rumo asked what the beauty was like, and told her not to talk nonsense.

The beauty then approached the fire, tore a bundle of her hair and threw it into the fire, and prayed secretly, and the body of Doukatta flowed oil and water, adding to the flames, and burning. Rumo was glad to see it. Then the beauty threw the gold and silver jewelry that she had lifted all over the ground, and the maids scrambled to grab it, and the beauty took this opportunity to throw herself into the fire. Rumo shouted urgently: "Hold on! Hold on!" When the girls were rushing to pull her, they only pulled some corners of their clothes and skirts, where could they pull people. It turned out that the dress was soaked in salt water and decayed, and when it was pulled, it was broken.

Rumo kept stamping his feet angrily, glaring at him, and scolding angrily, "Kill these rotten girls." Before I could move my hand, I saw that the bodies of the husband and wife of Doudou Geda were hugging each other in the fire, and they burned out at once, and two hugging trees grew from the flames, growing green branches and green leaves, swinging in the wind, growing higher and higher.

Rumo was even more angry, and hurriedly cut it down. When the tree was cut down, blood burst from the knife. The tree was cut off, but it did not fall, but flew up into the sky, and became a pair of white cranes, flying like wings. Suddenly dark clouds rose into the sky, and the wind whistled.

Rumo was so angry that he personally stretched out his bow and arrows, and shot the double cranes, only to hear the long cry of sorrow, which shook the sky. Immediately thunder and lightning flashed, rain and wind swirled, and a great fog was rolled up, and the sky and the earth were dark, and in the lightning, everyone saw that Rumo had been struck to death by lightning.

The wind stopped, the rain stopped, the clouds dissipated, and a red sun appeared in the blue western sky, and the couple became a pair of rainbows in the eastern sky.
