During the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a farmer named Du Ruofei in Dashe Village, Jiangning County, who was stricken by a disaster at his home when he was young, and his parents unfortunately died.
Although Du Ruofei had suffered misfortune, he did not wear down the kindness in his bones, as long as he did not work, he would walk the streets and alleys to help the villagers, and more than half of the people in the entire Dashe Village had been helped by him.
Unfortunately, the villagers were very realistic, and when Du Ruofei talked about marriage, no one was willing to marry his daughter to him. Watching his peers marry and have children one by one, Du Ruofei's heart is not a taste, but he does not blame the villagers, who makes him poor?
Until Du Ruofei was twenty-two years old, an accident changed his life.
On this day, Du Ruofei went to the field to cultivate the land, and was just about to pick up a hoe, when he found a person lying in the field, and he walked over to see that it was a woman. Seeing that she was beautiful and beautiful, I couldn't help but see him slightly lost his mind, until it took half a day to ease up and save people.
Du Ruofei was busy hugging the woman to see Lang Zhong, and after some diagnosis and treatment, the person finally woke up. The woman opened her eyes and asked where was this, and who saved her? Du Ruofei smiled, "This is Dashe Village, and I saved you." The woman thanked her again and again, she claimed that Wang Yiting came from out of town, lost to this point and thirsty and hungry, and finally could not bear to faint.
After that, Wang Yiting asked herself if something strange happened during her fainting. Du Ruofei shook her head and said no, she didn't ask any more questions, turned around and lay down on the bed to continue resting.
Since then, Wang Yiting has lived in the Du family to recuperate, and in order to thank her, she has helped take care of the family on weekdays. Du Ruofei was very touched and gradually fell in love with this beautiful girl. In the blink of an eye, Wang Yiting's injuries healed, and she didn't have the courage to leave, maybe she also fell in love with this honest and generous man.
Unconsciously, the two lived together for three months, and although they had a good feeling for each other, they failed to break through the window paper. Later, Wang Yiting took the initiative to ask for relatives, and the two married.
As the saying goes, "people are refreshed when they are happy", after marriage, Du Ruofei was happy all day, more energetic than ever, and a few acres of land were planted with the effect of more than a dozen acres. Wang Yiting took care of the housework, and the whole house was taken care of in an orderly manner.
Happily, less than a year after the two became intimate, Wang Yiting became pregnant. Du Ruofei shed tears of excitement and cried, "I think I have had no father and no mother since I was a child, and now I can have a complete home." Wang Yiting also cried, "Husband, it will get better and better in the future." Du Ruofei nodded vigorously.
In the blink of an eye, on the day when Wang Yiting was in the basin, Du Ruofei invited the midwife early, and seeing that he was so anxious, the midwife smiled: "Rest assured, the mother and child are safe." "After saying that, I went straight to the house.
After a while, Wang Yiting began to cry, when the sky was thick with dark clouds, seeing that it was about to rain, only to hear a big thunder fall, and the sound of babies crying in the house.
The midwife carried the child Mei Zi out of the door and said to Du Ruofei, "Oh congratulations, it's a boy." Du Ruofei smiled happily and took over the child, gave the midwife a lot of rewards, and then returned to the house to see his wife. At this time, Wang Yiting was slightly closing her eyes, seeing her husband coming, and said weakly: "Quickly hug me to see." ”
At the moment when Wang Yiting took over the look, her face suddenly changed and she almost threw the child to the ground. Du Ruofei asked, "What's wrong with you?" What's wrong with that? Wang Yiting said, "No, nothing." Du Ruofei was afraid that the child would be lost, so he hugged him and continued to coax.
Du Ruofei named the child Du Yuxuan, and he was simply afraid of him in his mouth, and he was afraid to hold it in the palm of his hand. On the other hand, Wang Yiting is extremely cold, and every day in addition to feeding, she will not even look at the right eye. Du Ruofei often asked his wife why she hated her son so much. Wang Yiting said slyly: "This is my own son, can I treat him badly?" You must have misunderstood. ”
To Du Ruofei's relief, after several times of exhorting Wang Yiting's attitude towards the child, there was a change, so that it was five years.
On this day, coinciding with the fifteenth day of the first month, Du Ruofei said to his son: "Son, today is fifteen, there is a lantern festival on the county street, why not take you to join in the fun?" Du Yuxuan smiled and said, "I'm going to go to lantern festival, Daddy is the best." ”
Du Ruofei turned his head and asked his wife if she wanted to go together, and Wang Yiting said, "You two go, I don't like to join in the fun." "After saying that, I went to work by myself. Du Ruofei shook his head, picked up his son and ran down the street.
About two hours later, the father and son finally came to Jiangning County, seeing that it was dark, the merchants and vendors began to hold the lamp, and soon the whole long street became brightly lit. At nightfall, the streets are bustling with tourists with lanterns.
Du Ruofei was afraid that his son would be squeezed in, so he held him in his arms and enjoyed the lamp. Du Yuxuan's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there was a lantern not far away that was very beautiful, and he was clamoring for his father to buy it. Du Ruofei had the heart to squeeze to that side, but there were too many people to go over, so he had to find a flat place and said to his son: "Son, you are waiting for your father here, and your father will come when he goes." ”
Who knows, Du Ruofei just left on the front foot, and there was a masked man on the back foot, who picked up Du Yuxuan and disappeared into the crowd. When Du Ruofei returned, he saw that his son was not in the same place, which frightened him into sitting on the ground, and then searched like crazy, but unfortunately, until the lamp would disperse, he did not find it.
Du Ruofei ran home in tears, saw that his wife had fallen asleep, and woke her up to say that her son was lost. After Wang Yiting listened, she advised: "Don't be sad, maybe my son has no connection with our family." ”
Since then, Du Ruofei has stopped cultivating land and looked around for his son, and everyone has found that the radiant him is gone, replaced by him who has gray hair in just two months. The couple searched for half a year without success, and Du Ruofei finally let the appointment and chose to return to normal life.
However, after experiencing this incident, his health was not as good as before, he was often sick, and he had to recuperate for a few days at every turn. In just a decade, he was bedridden. When Wang Yiting saw her husband like this, she did not shed tears. Du Ruofei comforted: "Alas, why should I die, I should accompany my son, maybe my son is already dead, if I can still see him before I die." ”
Maybe God pity Du Ruofei, and soon after, things really took a turn for the better.
It is said that on this day, the couple was resting at home, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, Wang Yiting opened the door to see, as if stunned in place, the person who came was not a bystander, it was the son who had been separated for ten years. Du Yuxuan hugged his mother and cried, "Mother, my son has finally come home." ”
Without waiting for Wang Yiting to speak, Du Yuxuan rushed into the room, and after seeing Du Ruofei, he fell to his knees and said, "Daddy, I'm back." Du Ruofei opened his cloudy eyes, carefully looked at his son's face that was almost the same as ten years ago, the old tears flowed, hugged him and cried bitterly: "Son, finally come back." ”
Subsequently, the father and son talked for a while, and Du Yuxuan pulled Wang Yiting and said, "Father, now that our family is reunited, your second elder is ready to let your son toast you tea tomorrow." Du Ruofei smiled and nodded, saying, "Go and rest." Wang Yiting echoed alongside.
After her son left, Wang Yiting narrowed her eyes slightly, and rushed to Du Ruofei: "Tomorrow my son will give you tea, don't drink it, and then we will do this..." Du Ruofei said angrily: "Don't you believe that your son has returned?" And what's going on here? Wang Yiting said, "After tomorrow, I will tell you the truth." ”
The next morning, Du Yuxuan carried two bowls of tea, came to the second elder, knelt down and cried: "My son is not filial piety, he was abducted and walked outside for ten years before he came back, and now the family is reunited, I give the second elder tea." The couple took the tea, drank it with a smile, and after a while they both fell down.
Du Yuxuan saw that the second elder had fainted, and laughed loudly: "Wang Yiting, Wang Yiting, I see how you can cure me now." As soon as the words fell out, he turned into a monster with green faces and fangs.
Just when she was about to bite off Wang Yiting's neck, she suddenly opened her eyes, pulled out a spell and attached it to the head of the demon, and then flashed herself to draw a peach wood sword from the side and slashed at him. The monster screamed a few times and turned into a pool of pus.
Du Ruofei slowly opened his eyes and was horrified to see the scene in front of him. Wang Yiting said, "I don't really want to hide anything, I am a female Taoist monk." ”
It turned out that When Wang Yiting was ordered to come here to remove the demon, he knew that the demon's Path was extremely high, and the two of them fought and lost. Later, she was saved by Du Ruofei, and Yin and Yang mistakenly fell in love with him. And that monster was sinister and cunning, and even hid in Wang Yiting's body.
Wang Yiting did not know, but after she gave birth, she found that her son was transformed by the monster, but his memory was not restored for the time being, so for many years, he had been treating his son coldly.
Until Du Yuxuan was five years old, father and son went to the street to watch the lights. Wang Yiting thought that it would be better to take the opportunity to lose him, a hundred. So she followed her father and son and took advantage of her husband's inattention to take away his son. Although this move was extremely hurtful, it saved her husband's life. Ten years later, the monster restored his memory to take revenge, and Wang Yiting calculated it and eradicated it in one fell swoop.
Knowing the truth, Du Ruofei could not cry and asked, "Why don't you tell me?" Wang Yiting cried, "If you knew that your son was dead, would you still be alive?" I don't want you to be sad and would rather take risks. ”
After that, Du Ruofei understood his wife's good intentions and gradually came out of the haze, and the couple also set up a tombstone for their son and went to worship from time to time.
Although the two have no children, they adopt many orphans, and those children regard the second elder as their own father, and when they grow up, they are filial piety and take turns to take care of the second elder until they die.
