The war between man and demon, the chaos in China, the demon and monster army led by Ma Yueming was menacing, and quickly occupied the area of Xihai City in the western Xinjiang of China, the territory was burned and looted, the villages and cities were all turned into ruins, the mountains and rivers were broken, full of devastation, and the bloodshed of the unarmed innocent people was like a river, and the corpses and bones were piled up. However, fighting a war requires food and grass, and the demon army is no exception, and the necessities of daily life have to be obtained from other places at a high price.

In Zhangjia Village, a remote mountainous area in Jiangxian County, north of Xihai City, which borders the western border of China, there is a fisherman, whose name is Zhang Caiwang, who is forty miles away, and is a well-known treacherous man in Zhangjia Village. Zhang Caiwang's wife, Cai Yulan, is thirty-nine years old, with an ugly face, a shrew, and the most insidious and vicious. The couple had a nest of snakes and rats, embarrassed, they drove the boat and cast the net, took the opportunity to make a fortune, first secretly used silver money to buy off the waterway ferry official inspectors who saw the money, and then openly went back and forth between the north and south of the river, the two of them pretended to be fishing in the name, but they secretly raised the price, and began to sell military rations to the demon army, making huge profits, that's it, less than half a year, Zhang Caiwang's family suddenly became rich, he bought a lot of acres, built a lot of buildings, built houses, and gradually, became a rich man。 However, the people's desires are unfillable, and the desires are dissatisfied, Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan have tasted the sweetness, and the greed in their hearts is even more blazing.

Zhang Wanmin, the next-door neighbor of Zhang Caiwang's family, is also a fisherman, and the two families have a conflict because of the boundary wall in the middle, and Zhang Caiwang is rich and unkind, so the two families have always been at odds. Once, Zhang Wanmin saw the mountains of grain purchased by Zhang Caiwang's family, and suspected that the couple was secretly selling grain to the demon army and making huge profits, so he reported it to the local government. After Zhang Caicai learned about it, he was shocked and quickly bribed the county magistrate Huang Xuanyi with a lot of money, and as a result, Huang Xuanyi, a corrupt official who saw the money, found that there was no evidence, and sentenced Zhang Wanmin to be falsely accused and framed, and beat him with a hundred sticks, so that the officials drove him out of the yamen. Zhang Wanmin was convicted and wronged, so he held a grudge and began to observe carefully, wanting to find an opportunity to vent his anger and take revenge on Zhang Caiwang and the corrupt official Huang Xuanyi. However, Zhang Caiwang scoffed at this, did not take it to heart at all, and still made the tide every day, sailed on the river, and did his "business" unscrupulously.

At that time, at the head of Zhangjia Village, there was a young couple who fled, the man's name was Jiao Zhenyue, his wife Fang Shuoyue, the couple carried tattered luggage, with a female doll, saying that it was their daughter, whose name was Jiao Guizhi.

Jiao Zhenyue's family lived in an abandoned courtyard, and the couple barely supported their family by advocating long-term labor for Zhangjia Village. Jiao Guizhi was outstanding when he was a child, beautiful as a flower, but unfortunately, in troubled times, the people were not able to make a living, and suddenly they didn't want to work for a long time, all the long-term workers were driven out, three meals a day, no landing, forced to helpless, Jiao Zhenyue and his wife had to take their daughter Jiao Guizhi to leave Zhangjia Village, and they died in the world, begging along the door, maintaining their lives, and not having enough to eat, on the way to begg, Jiao Zhenyue and his wife were unfortunately infected with the plague, unable to be treated, and died and went to another world to report.

Jiao Guizhi, a nine-year-old girl whose parents died and had no money to bury her, had no choice but to put a straw on her head and kneel on the street to sell herself in exchange for money to bury her parents.

Although skinny and handsome, nine-year-old Jiao Guizhi was taken in by an old woman, Li Min, who bought her with money and helped bury her parents, and then used her as a cash cow. The old woman Li Min was a fireworks girl in her early years, saved a sum of money, and now she is old and decrepit, and she has no business. In this world, Li Min no longer has any relatives, so she is very good to Jiao Guizhi, and accepts her as a righteous daughter, and the mother and daughter depend on each other.

This year, Jiao Guizhi was fifteen years old, and her godmother Li Min discussed wanting her to make money by selling her art instead of selling her body to support the two of them. Jiao Guizhi, who knew the grace of the newspaper, obeyed the wishes of his godmother Li Min and agreed to perform to pick up guests. Li Min released the news, and in Jiangxian County, there were many gentlemen and sons and sons who rushed to come to flatter.

Zhou Huajian, the second son of wealthy businessman Stephen Chow, is suave and talented, he is deeply sympathetic to Jiao Guizhi's experience, has a soft spot, and is more in love than Jin Jian, he does not hesitate to draw a line with his parents, break off his righteousness, and stay in the brothel, until his money bag is empty, he is still infatuated and in love, and refuses to leave.

Godmother Li Min changed her face and treated each other with white eyes all day long, but Jiao Guizhi didn't care about it, she still treated him very well, the two were of the same age, their words were speculative, they were talented and beautiful, they cherished each other, and they made a private decision for life, and after that, they gave birth to a son, named Ah Bao, smart and clever, and endearing. The wood has become a boat, although the godmother Li Min is quite complaining, she feels uncomfortable, and it is difficult to break them up, so she has nothing to do.

Unexpectedly, there were unforeseen circumstances, Zhou Huajian suddenly got a strange disease, and he was very sick, Jiao Guizhi served day and night, brought water and medicine, cried bitterly behind his back, cut off his arm meat and decoction as medicine, and gave Zhou Huajian to eat, but there was still no effect.

When Zhou Huajian was dying, he held Jiao Guizhi's hand tightly, and said in tears: "Although you are a dusty girl, however, your affection for me, I am afraid that I can't do it." Back then, I cut off relations with my parents for you, and now I am homeless, there is no place to bury, and a few dead bones, whether they are burned or discarded, are at your disposal. The only thing that worries me is Ah Bao's little bit of blood, he is the son of the two of us, you promise me, no matter how difficult it is, I will raise him well to grow up, so that under the nine springs, I will be able to look at him. ”

One day husband and wife, Jiao Guizhi sobbed and agreed: "Langjun, don't worry, I will definitely be a wife." ”

After Zhou Huajian died, Jiao Guizhi put on white clothes for his three-year-old son Bao, and mourned Zhou Huajian together, and buried him in a beautiful manner.

Since then, Jiao Guizhi has refused to pick up customers and raised the child wholeheartedly, and her godmother Li Min has no choice but to let her go.

Soon, Ma Yueming led the army of demons and monsters, called the county seat, Jiao Guizhi carried A Bao on his back, and supported his godmother Li Min to cross the northern boundary of the river to avoid disasters, there happened to be a fishing boat, a hundred steps away from the river, a middle-aged couple sitting on the boat, leaning on the oars and looking wide-eyed.

Jiao Guizhi called and said, "Uncle, aunt, please make it convenient, show kindness, and help our family get on the other side, I will definitely not spare the ferry fee." Although Jiao Guizhi was anxious, the middle-aged couple on the boat were very leisurely, and they chattered with her about how much money they had.

The two sides were in the middle of the question-and-answer room, and suddenly, the cavalry of the demon world swarmed in, and the fisherman and his wife hurriedly propped up the boat and went away.

The Demon Realm cavalry dismounted, killed Li Min on the spot, coerced Jiao Guizhi and Ah Bao to follow them, and presented them to Ma Yueming, the commander of the Demon Realm.

Ma Yueming was overjoyed when he saw Jiao Guizhi's appearance, he originally planned to kill the three-year-old Xiaobao, leaving his mother alone for his amusement, Jiao Guizhi saw this, cried bitterly, kowtowed at the bottom of the steps, and said: "My husband died, my godmother was killed, I only have my son as a relative now, my son lives, I live, my son dies, I die, I die, since the king said that he loves me, he should also love the house and Wu, and love my son, otherwise, I would rather die than obey." Jiao Guizhi's eyelashes were stained with tears, like autumn water, and the coquettish cry was like the chirping of the yellow warbler in the early morning.

Ma Yueming was very lustful, and summoned out many mortal women who were burned and killed along the way, and compared with Jiao Guizhi one by one, none of them could compare to her, so Ma Yueming ordered to reward those women to his subordinates, and then took Jiao Guizhi as his princess and A Bao as a prince.

Jiao Guizhi fell into the dust, she was good at decorating and dressing, and she was able to speak well, and soon, Ma Yueming was deeply confused, and she was very fond of her. However, Jiao Guizhi endured humiliation for the sake of her son, but she was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, she suffered from no chance, and the mother and son could escape from Ma Yueming's clutches.

The demon army entered Jiangxian County, the dog official Huang Xuanyi took his wife and children, and fled when he heard the wind, Ma Yueming occupied Huang Xuanyi's mansion without much effort, and began to camp in Jiangxian County, causing chaos in the world.

Zhang Caiwang, who is obsessed with money, is parked in Jiangxian County, and Cai Yulan always carries fresh fish into the city to sell to the demon army. Hearing that Jiao Guizhi was beautiful and wealthy, he bribed the relationship and entered the mansion to ask for a meeting. She was led to the back hall, and saw Jiao Guizhi sitting facing south, and the maids on the left and right sides were full of pearls and emeralds, full of Qiluo, holding their breath, waiting carefully, and not daring to relax and fatigue at all.

Cai Yulan kowtowed to Jiao Guizhi and bowed down, offering her flattery and flattery, which was very different from the ferocious and vicious when she stopped the boat on the river to ask for the boat fare.

Jiao Guizhi had lived in Zhangjia Village for a few years, and vaguely knew Cai Yulan, so he asked, "Is the mother-in-law from Zhangjia Village?"

Cai Yulan hurriedly replied: "Yes." ”

Jiao Guizhi said: "Okay, you come over tomorrow, I have something important to entrust you." After speaking, Cai Yulan was rewarded with a lot of gold silk, and Cai Yulan thanked her and left.

The next day, Cai Yulan really came again, and immediately a henchman guided her to a secret room.

Cai Yulan saw Jiao Guizhi sitting cross-legged on the embroidery bed, very dignified, but her eyelashes were shining with tears.

When Jiao Guizhi saw Cai Yulan coming, he beckoned her to sit down, gave her tea and fruits, and asked her about the situation at home, and asked her in great detail. Cai Yulan told them one by one. After Jiao Guizhi heard this, he cried even more.

Cai Yulan took the opportunity to ask Jiao Guizhi in a low voice: "The lady is here, she is deeply favored by the demon master, why is she not happy?"

Jiao Guizhi shook her hand and told her not to make a sound. The maid went to inspect the door, but there was no one, and Jiao Guizhi then wept and wept and said: "After I was taken captive, although I received grace, there were also embarrassing places, and there were some things that even prostitutes were unwilling to do. Ma Yueming is suspicious by nature, and often shows a white knife under the red candle when drunk, which makes me tremble, uneasy, and often depressed. I also thought about dying, but I still have a little girl under my knees, so I have endured the humiliation until now. This group of demons and monsters, recklessly, causing chaos in the world, will be killed and destroyed in the end, and at that time, our mother and son, we don't know where my orphans and widows really belong?"

After speaking, the tears flowed nonstop, and the sleeves of the pale yellow shirt were wet with tears.

Cai Yulan comforted Jiao Guizhi and said: "Lady, don't be too sad, the old body has the means to save you out, but I'm afraid that the lady doesn't really want to escape." ”

Jiao Guizhi swore to the sky: "If you tell a lie, the sky will thunder and split, and you will not die well!"

Cai Yulan believed it and said: "I have a small boat, anchored under the city, as long as I encounter a tailwind, what is the difficulty of escaping? It's just that the lady's house is broken, if you escape across the river empty-handed, what will you mother and son live on? My family is extremely poor, and I really can't help your mother and son, this is really worrying!"

Jiao Guizhi said: "Don't hide it from my aunt, Ma Yueming led the demon army to invade China, burning, killing and looting along the way, doing all kinds of evil, robbing millions of taels of gold and silver treasures, and the keys to the treasury are all in my hands." As long as the aunt is willing to help transport some of it, when it arrives in a safe place, it will be divided with the aunt, at that time, are you still worried about having nothing to eat?"

Hearing this, Cai Yulan, who was greedy, was overjoyed, and she said happily: "Okay! ”

The plan was thus agreed.

From this day on, Jiao Guizhi tried his best to smuggle out four liters of pearls, 1,000 ingots of silver, and 50 catties of gold from the warehouse to ensure safety, Jiao Guizhi also gave a small black flag to Cai Yulan, and said: "Use it to sail through the water, as long as it is said that my mother and son want to play in the mountains and waters, let you come to explore the road first, and you can pass unimpeded." ”

It turned out that Ma Yueming doted on Jiao Guizhi, was fascinated, carried away, and after getting drunk, she gave Jiao Guizhi a small black flag in a daze, allowing her mother and son to enter and exit freely.

On this day, Ma Yueming was ordered by the female demon Yu Die'er to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, provoke incidents, and open up a new battlefield of people and demons. Before leaving, Jiao Guizhi, who was vain and wronged, set up a banquet with false affection, dupuliously made a trip for Ma Yueming, booked the date of his return, and repeatedly told him to cherish it, Ma Yueming was proud, very happy, and had no doubts.

After Ma Yueming went, Jiao Guizhi boldly let go of his four-year-old son Ah Bao, who was alone and often played on the riverbank at the back door of the mansion.

One day at lunch, Jiao Guizhi let the demon guards guarding the mansion drink a jar of good wine that she had drugged in advance, and they were all drunk and unconscious. Then, she wrapped her whole body with layers of gold leaves, as well as countless pearls and precious jades, beckoned Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan into the house, and shipped out more than 20 splendid packages, and then quickly changed into the clothes of a woman from a good family, and escaped on the boat with Ah Bao, and used the small black flag to easily earn the water gate guarded by demon soldiers.

The boat sailed day and night, and encountered a tailwind, like an arrow flying forward, more than five hours later, you can already see the other side of the river, Jiao Guizhi's heart, very comfortable.

Jiao Guizhi inadvertently found that Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan were often whispering together in secret, the voice was subtle, and they couldn't hear the content of the words clearly, and their suspicions were steep, and they were worried and handsome, however, the boat was still moving on the river, and they had no choice but to snuggle up to their son Ah Bao, sitting silently and waiting.

Suddenly, he heard someone shouting loudly behind him, Jiao Guizhi hurriedly pushed the canopy of the boat open to inspect, and found that the ship of the demon army was like an ant gathering, like a swarm gathering, and the steel knife was like a forest, and the cold light was shining. Ma Yueming, who was standing on the bow of the boat, shouted loudly: "Bold slut Jiao Guizhi, I was so good to you in the past, I actually took advantage of my absence in the mansion to steal a huge amount of treasure with that dead old woman, trying to escape, and live impatiently one by one! Hurry up and stop the boat, and I can leave you with the whole corpse, otherwise, let me catch up, and I will definitely break your corpse into ten thousand pieces!"

It turned out that the chief of the guard of the demon army inadvertently saw Jiao Guizhi leaving the mansion with his son Ah Bao, holding a small black flag, no one stopped him, he was puzzled, and hurriedly contacted Ma Yueming and reported the incident.

Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan and his wife, after hearing Ma Yueming's shouting, were frightened and at a loss, at this time, the wind was weak, the couple shook the oar desperately, and lost their temper at Jiao Guizhi while shaking, and said angrily: "We husband and wife, but we are both innocent, because you saved your mother and son from the tiger's mouth and died under the knife of the devils, can you rest assured? You don't hurry up and die in the river, what are you waiting for?"

Jiao Guizhi knelt in the cabin, crying bitterly and said: "That's true, it's my mother and son, who have affected you and your wife, if you can survive, I will give you all the gold and silver treasures I stolen, even if my mother and son beg for food, I won't complain." ”

The boat chased by the demon soldiers was getting closer and closer, and Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan were scared to death, so they just urged Jiao Guizhi to hurry up and throw himself into the river to die, and not to delay time.

Jiao Guizhi sobbed and said, "If the pursuers of the Demon Realm come closer, I will commit suicide by jumping into the water, and I will not drag you down." I just hope that the two of you can be kind and take my son across the river, he is still so young!"

Zhang Caiwang shouted fiercely: "Jiao Guizhi, if you want to die, hurry up and die, who chatters with you." ”

Jiao Guizhi hugged his son Abao and cried, tears flowed down and turned into blood, but Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan pressed harder.

Suddenly, Tong Qing appeared on the river with the members of the Bloody Flying Eagle Action Brigade, and Ma Yueming hurriedly ordered the demon army to turn around and flee with their lives.

Tong Qing and his party chased and killed the past.

Zhang Caiwang's boat was about to arrive on the north bank of the river, but it was slow to approach.

Suddenly, Zhang Caiwang stopped the boat on the edge of the reed island, took off all the gold, silver and jewelry that Jiao Guizhi was carrying, and then pushed her ashore alone, and said: "If you don't let you drown in the river, it is Lao Tzu's yin virtue." ”

Jiao Guizhi was still crying, but Zhang Caiwang's boat had already left her.

Jiao Guizhi saw that there was a vast river all around, and knew that he had reached a dead end, plus there were only green reeds and white reeds in front of him, and the water birds were crying, and his heart was even more sore, and he couldn't cry. She had no choice, she was hungry, she could only chew tender reed sprouts, and when she was thirsty, she could only drink muddy water, and after eating like this for a few days, she was not dead.

On this day, the patrol boats of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were very surprised to hear the faint crying of women in the reeds, so they followed the sound. I saw Jiao Guizhi's clothes ragged, his face haggard, and his face covered with mud and sand, which was as scary as a ghost.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial court inspected Jiao Guizhi and asked where she came from and where her family lived? Jiao Guizhi answered truthfully, so the patrol soldiers generously gave her a bag of dry food and 500 copper coins, and took her to a safe place to fend for herself.

Jiao Guizhi begged along the door, and met a kind-hearted old gentleman who taught and educated people, who took pity and sympathized with her life experience, recognized her as a goddaughter, and took her in.

Jiao Guizhi misses her son Ah Bao, so she asks her godfather to go with her to find out the news of her son Ah Zhou.

Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan returned to Zhangjia Village, had abundant assets, and immediately became extremely rich. The couple was suffering from not having a son, and there would be no one to support them in the future, so they accepted Ah Bao as their adopted son, and they were very proud.

Jiao Guizhi and his godfather came to Zhangjia Village, found Zhang Caiwang's house, and kowtowed at the gate and begged: "I can save a life, thanks to your good couple." Don't mention the past, now I just hope to give my son Bao back to me. ”

Zhang Caiwang deliberately pretended to be surprised, and said in great surprise: "Whose girl is this? We don't know each other, where are you going to find your son?"

Jiao Guizhi questioned about what happened before, and Zhang Caiwang clapped his hands and said in shock: "As you said, then you are the mother-in-law of the devil Ma Yueming." If I sue you to the government, you will still get a reward, and you will still deceive to find your son?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Caiwang was so brazen, Jiao Guizhi broke into the door and looked around, but he couldn't see Bao's figure, and Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan were very cunning, they denied it in every possible way, and ordered Zhuang Nu to drive Jiao Guizhi and the old gentleman out of his house and lock the door.

Jiao Guizhi looked up to the sky and cried, whimpering and said: "I have worked hard, just for fear of disappointing the trust of the deceased, now that it is over, my son is gone, what is the point of my life?"

After saying that, he will kill himself by hitting a wall.

The old gentleman hurriedly dissuaded her and said, "Silly boy, are you confused? Jiangxian County, there is a magistrate under the jurisdiction, it is better for our father and daughter to go and file a complaint, the complaint is invalid, and it is not too late for you to die." ”

So, the father and daughter were full of hope and went to the county order to accuse together, Zhang Caiwang repeated his old trick and bribed the county order with a lot of silver, and in the end, the case was not accepted because of insufficient evidence.

At the beginning, Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan saw Jiao Guizhi coming to the door and kept Ah Bao very tightly, but now, seeing that Jiao Guizhi had left sadly, they gradually relaxed their vigilance.

One day, Ah Bao was playing in front of the door, and when his neighbor Zhang Wanmin saw it, he lured the child to his house, gave him cakes and fruits to eat, and asked: "Good boy, tell Uncle that are you happy with your mother or your godfather and mother?"

Ah Bao replied without hesitation: "I am willing to follow my mother." ”

Zhang Wanmin said: "Great, uncle will help you go back to your mother." ”

Zhang Wanmin, who had ulterior motives, launched his own retaliatory action, he first hid Ah Bao in his home and did not let him go out, and then went out alone to find the Bloody Flying Eagle Action Brigade.

At that time, Tong Qing led the Bloody Flying Eagle Action Brigade to drive away Ma Yueming's demon army, and was clearing out the lurking demons and monsters, Jiao Guizhi and Godfather on the way to complain, met Tong Qing, it happened that Zhang Wanmin was also looking for Tong Qing them, Tong Qing was jealous and hateful, and he was furious when he heard it, and immediately ordered his generals to lead hundreds of strong men to go to Zhangjia Village at night to arrest Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan.

Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan were depressed when they couldn't find Ah Bao. At night, Zhang Caiwang had a strange dream, dreaming that he and his wife Cai Yulan climbed to the top of the rock, overlooking the bottom, there was a boat and a bridge, and the scenery was very beautiful. A moment later, the wind roared, the snowflakes fell like palms, and suddenly, lightning and thunder roared, and the thunderbolt struck, and Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan fell under the mountain rock in shock. After waking up from a dream, Zhang Caiwang broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan recounted the scene in the dream, and suddenly, the searchers of the Bloody Flying Eagle Operation Brigade came to the door of his house, the cry was deafening, and the fire shone like day.

As soon as Cai Yulan walked out of the door to check, she was put around her neck by the inky black rope. Zhang Caiwang was so frightened that he climbed over the wall and tried to escape.

In the dusk and cool moon, Lei Ming's head was flush with the eaves, he stretched out a huge palm as big as a dustpan, and with a "snap" palm, Zhang Caiwang was fanned to the ground, and Yulan Yujie sisters and brothers hurriedly stepped forward and tied Zhang Caiwang up.

Dong Wan'er led the team, she dismissed Zhang Caiwang's house slaves, and confiscated all Zhang Caiwang's family property one by one.

Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan husband and wife resisted death and cunning, refusing to confess that they secretly sold food to support the demon world and make huge profits, Tong Qing used soul searching techniques to force Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan to speak, and honestly confessed, Tong Qing notified his doppelganger, and tried Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan in public, fornicated with the demon world, provided food to the demon army to harm his compatriots, and the heinous Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan husband and wife were sentenced to behead together for public display, and the corpse was brutalized for three days, killing chickens and monkeys.

Tong Qing suggested that his doppelganger award half of the property of Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan's family to Jiao Guizhi, so that she could raise the orphan Ah Bao to grow up.

When Zhang Caiwang and Cai Yulan were tortured, the crowd of onlookers in Jiangxian County was crowded with thousands of empty alleys, like a city wall built.

Before he died, Zhang Caiwang finally repented, he looked up to the sky and sighed, shouted: "I only now understand how stupid and ridiculous it is to sell grain and demon soldiers, raise prices, make huge profits, and make a fortune! Later, I lost my conscience, bullied Jiao Guizhi, a weak woman who was ravaged and destroyed by the devil, robbed her treasure, and robbed her son.
