there is a young man named Katsushiro in Manma Township in Katsushika County, Shimosokyo. He has lived in his hometown since his grandfather's generation. His ancestors have been skilled in farming for generations. He had a solid way, but because he was born with no intention to manage and was lazy in farming, his family was declining. Over time, most of his relatives have alienated him. Therefore, Shiro was very regretful, learned from the pain, and determined to change his past mistakes and revive the family business.
At that time, there was a businessman with the surname Tsubube, Zengji, who sold Ashikaga bleached and dyed silk. He came here from the capital every year to visit relatives and friends. He was very familiar with Shiro. One day, Shiro told him that he wanted to go to the capital to do business and asked him for help. Sparrow agreed, saying when he would set off. Seeing that he could rely on, Shiro sold Yu Tian and bought a large amount of white silk as capital, and prepared to enter Beijing.
Katsushiro's wife Miyagi, who is beautiful and dignified, and intelligent by nature, was very disturbed when she heard that Shiro was going to Beijing to sell goods, and she tried her best to discourage her. However, Shiro is ambitious and has always been self-willed, so he can't listen to his wife's words. Although Miyagi was worried about the hardships in the family after her husband left, and felt sad, he was still busy preparing Shiro to pack.
In the night before leaving, Miyagi reluctantly said: "I am the only one left at home with a woman. There is no one to rely on. It is like a lost track in the mountains and fields, fearful and uneasy. I hope that the Lord will not forget day and night and return as soon as possible. As long as the breath survives. , There is always a day to gather, but things are fickle, and the future is difficult to predict. I hope you can see it." Shiro comforted: "Going out is like wandering in the sacs. You wait with peace of mind." Shiro bid farewell to his hometown and rushed to the capital.
This year was the summer of the fourth year of Kyotoku. The Kamakura shogun's Ashikaga Naruto and the leader Uesugi broke up. The war broke out. The Naruto palace was destroyed by fire, and the Naruto fled to the Shimosōkuni area to hide in the same party. . As a result of the Kanto turmoil, the princes each dominated one side, the people were panicked, and there was no place for peace at all. The old man fled to take refuge in the mountains, and the young and strong were used as soldiers. Today it is rumored that it will burn here, and tomorrow there will be rumours that the enemy will come over, women and children weeping and wailing, running for their lives. Shiro's wife, Miyagi, also wanted to escape to hide in another country, but thought of her husband's words "will be back until this fall" before leaving, so she stayed at home, restlessly and apprehensively. In late autumn, not only did the husband not come back, but there was no news at all. People's hearts are unpredictable. Just like this troubled world, Miyagi's bitterness and hatred are mixed, and he composes a song:
involuntary, sorrowless;
autumn is about to end, and lonely goose is hard to return.
In this situation, how can we tell her husband who is far away in a foreign land?
The situation is turbulent, the hearts of the people are sinister, and the morals are degraded. Someone who passed by the gate of Gongmu's house, saw Gongmu, was amazed by the beauty of Gongmu, and they were wantonly teasing and frivolous. But Miyagi insisted on his chastity and ignored it, and later simply stayed behind closed doors. The only maid beside her also bid farewell and went home. After the end of the year, I hope that until the beginning of the year, the war is still endless.
Last fall, General Ashikaga ordered the lord of Mino country, Higashishimomomotoge, to lead his army to Shimoguni, where he joined forces with the local aristocratic family Chiba Minyin and joined forces to attack the Cheng clan, and the Cheng clan defended his position and resisted. The fighting was fierce, and it was difficult to quell for a while. At this time, bandits and robbers took advantage of the chaos, set up camps everywhere, burned, killed, and looted, and the entire Kanto eight states were sorrowed, and it became a tragic and panic world.
Shiro followed the bird to the capital. At that time, the capital admired luxury and sold all the silk, which made a lot of money. When Shiro was about to return to his hometown, he encountered the leader Uesugi and captured the Kamakura government. And take advantage of the victory to chase Cheng's deserter. I heard that the general area of the country is in the midst of war and has become a chaotic place. It's hard to tell what's happening right now, not to mention the situation in the hometown thousands of miles away is even harder to guess. However, Shiro was uneasy and finally left JD.com in early August. When passing by Zengzhenzaka, I met a bandit who fell in the grass here, and his bags and money were all looted. Later, I heard that a lot of new checkpoints were set up on the east road, prohibiting pedestrians, Shiro thought, looking at this scene, even letters can not be passed, the house may have been destroyed by the war, and his wife may be dead. If this is the case, the hometown is the place where ghosts live, so he returns to the capital. Unexpectedly, when I walked to Omi, I suddenly felt unwell and developed a high fever.
There was a rich man in Sago in Omi, named Kabei Kodama, who was the father-in-law of Sparrow. Shiro went to join him and asked for help. Kodama sympathized with Shiro's misfortune, and continued to receive medical treatment and meticulous care and service. A few days later, Shiro's condition improved, and he was deeply impressed with Kodama's help. Because of his weakness, it was difficult to move, so La Jinchun returned as soon as he stayed. Day after day, Shiro made many friends in the village. Kodama and his colleagues like Shiro's honesty and openness very much, and they are all willing to have a deep relationship with him. After he recovered completely, Shiro went to Beijing to visit the bird, and soon returned to Omi to stay at Kodama's home. Time is like flowing water, and in a flash, seven years have passed like a dream. In the second year of Kuanzheng, the mountain brothers of Guodao in Hanoi competed, and the riots affected the capital. In addition, the plague has been prevalent since the beginning of the spring, and lying corpses can often be seen on the street, and people are frightened, as if the end of the world is about to come.
Shiro thought repeatedly: "So desolate, having nothing to do, falling into a foreign country, and being blessed by others. But what is the point of living in a whole life like this? The wife of Yufa in his hometown has never heard from his wife so far, but he is squandering in this place full of worry and worry. Years are really unfaithful and unbelief and annihilate conscience. Even if his wife is no longer alive, one should find her remains and put her in the tomb to comfort the spirit of Jiuquan." So Shiro informed all his friends of his wish, in May, Meiyu On the first day, I said goodbye to all my friends, and returned to my hometown after a ten-day journey.
On this day, it was sinking to the west, with dark clouds covering it, and a dire wilderness surrounding it. Shiro thought, this is the hometown where Si was born and grew up in Si. Where can I get lost? So go on through the wild grassy wilderness. The Banqiao, which straddles the rapids, has been famous since ancient times. The surrounding fields are barren, the roads are difficult to distinguish, and the old neighbors are not seen. Although the few houses that seem to be occupied, they are completely different from the past. Shiro stood there in a daze, not knowing where his former residence was. With the starlight shining through the clouds, I saw a pine tree that had been struck by lightning twenty steps away. Shiro thought with joy, isn't this just the front door of his own house? So I stepped forward, and the house remained unchanged. A faint light leaked from the cracks in the dilapidated door, as if inhabited. "Who is inside? Is someone else living here? Or is my wife Miyagi still alive?" Shiro had mixed feelings and walked to the door with a light cough. The room answered, "Who is it?" The voice was old, but it was clearly the voice of his wife Miyagi. Shiro was very excited, "Is this in a dream?" hurriedly replied, "It's me, I'm back. It's incredible that you live in this wilderness by yourself." The people in the house heard that it was. Shiro's voice immediately opened the door. Miyagi, who appeared in front of Shiro, had a disheveled face, sunken eye sockets, and scattered hair draped behind him, completely losing his original appearance. Miyagi looked at her husband, silently, and wept in tears.
At this time, Katsushiro was also sad and unspeakable. After a while, he said in a trembling voice: "I knew you were still alive, how could I have been wandering for so many years. When I was in the capital that year, I heard about the Kamakura mutiny. Cheng clan was defeated and fled, avoiding resistance to the next chief, and Guan leading the army to pursue the victory. The next day, I joined hands with the bird and left Kyoto to go home in early August. I did not expect that when I walked to Kiso Road, I was robbed by bandits, and clothes, gold and silver were robbed. After the looting, I finally took a life. Later, it was heard that many new checkpoints were set up on the Dongkaido and Dongshan Roads. It was also said that the Beijing sent Jiedo to reinforce Uesugi to attack the Soochow. The hometown area has long been a war and suffered a lot. Ravaged by iron hoof, I think you either turned to ashes or committed suicide in the sea. Therefore, I cut off the idea of returning to my hometown and returned to Beijing under the fence. Recently, my thoughts have increased day by day. I thought, even if I can’t meet you again, I will go home. Looking at the old relics, paying tribute to the dead is also a kind of comfort, so I returned to my hometown desperately. I never dreamed that you were still alive. Could it be me that Wushan Yunyu, Han Palace dream?" Shi Lang muttered endlessly.
His wife Miyagi wiped her tears and said: "After the separation that year, I have been looking forward to your return. The agreed autumn return date has not yet returned. At that time, the world was in chaos, and the villagers abandoned their homes to escape, or drifted on the sea, or hid. Go deep into the mountains. Most of those who stay in the village are evil gangsters with tiger and wolf hearts. Seeing that I am a single woman, they often tempt and provoke with rhetoric. I would rather be broken than be complete, stick to my chastity, I don't know how much hardship I have endured. The battle turns to the stars. Spring goes and autumn comes, but I still don’t see Lang Jun returning. Winter goes to spring, but Lang Jun still has no news. I was eager to go to Beijing to find Lang Jun, and there were many hurdles along the way, and it was difficult for dignified men to pass, not to mention women like me. Generations, all I can do is look at the pine trees in front of the house, wait lonely at home, accompany foxes and civet cats, and live lonely to this day. Suffering and willingness come, and the long-term wish is finally realized. Gu Geyun:
Love is not rewarded. Like gray, I
hate you forever." At
this point, Miyagi couldn't cry, Shiro comforted: "The good night is short, let's rest first." So the couple hugged each other and shared the family relationship.
The window paper was ventilated, and it was cold at night, but Shiro fell asleep soundly because of the exhaustion of the journey. At the dawn of the morning, Shiro stretched out his hand to pull the quilt in his dream. He didn't know what he touched. He only heard the rustle and woke up. His face felt cold. He thought it was a rain leak on the roof. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the roof was already covered. The wind was gone. There was only one bend of light, hanging diagonally in the slightly bright sky, the door of the house almost disappeared, the floor was decayed and collapsed, and the tall stems of Artemisia annua were grown. The dew dripped, soaking Shiro's sleeves. There are vines all over the wall, and weeds grow in the courtyard. Although it is not autumn, the desolate and desolate situation in the home is like the ruins of the wilderness. The wife who hugged each other last night also disappeared at this time. Shiro was in a trance, suspecting that it was a fox spirit. Although there are ruined walls in front of him, it is clearly his house in the past. The spacious back room and the barn at the corner were built by oneself and still exist today. Shiro was at a loss, like in a dream, he thinks over and over again, and wakes up again. Could it be that my wife has already passed away, this barren home has become a place of fox fairy and ghost, and came to meet last night like a wife, or maybe his wife The undead thinks about the husband, resurrects to share the theory of heaven. As expected, the wife is dead. Thinking of this, I wanted to cry without tears. The sun and the moon disappeared, and now the family is broken and the people are alone. Shiro wandered around in his deserted home, sighing and sighing. Suddenly he saw that the floor of the former bedroom had been demolished, and there was a raised grave mound with a scaffolding to prevent rain. Thinking that the undead came from here last night, I feel both scared and very attached.
A tower-shaped wooden sign was inserted in the container of clear water in front of the grave. The piece of paper that was pasted was old and faded. Although the writing on it was peeling off and it was illegible, Shiro recognized that it was written by his wife. There is no name and the year, month and day of death. There is only one Japanese song that expresses the grief at the end of life.
If you make an appointment for the return of your husband in autumn, you will return if the return date is at the end
.
After seeing this song, Shiro was convinced that his wife was dead, and could not help falling to the ground crying bitterly. The exact year and month of his wife's death is unclear, and Shiro regrets his ruthlessness. I also thought that someone in the village might know the situation, wiped away the tears and resisted the grief and went out to ask. At this time the sun has risen to a high level.
Shiro first went to the nearest house and saw that the owner was no longer old. When he inquired, he was asked, "Where are you from?" Shiro saluted: "I am the owner of the house next door. I have been out for business and stayed in Beijing for seven years. . I returned home last night and saw that the house was deserted and no one lives in it. It seems that my wife has passed away. Only an earthen grave is left, which makes me feel even more sad. If you know, beg to see you."
The human said: "You It’s really sympathetic, but I’ve only settled here for a year. I’m afraid your wife has passed away before that. So I don’t know what happened before. Almost all the people in Murakami ran away during the chaos and now live here. Most of the people have moved from other places. Only one old man seems to have lived here for a long time. He often goes to the house to sacrifice the dead. He must know the date of his death." Shiro asked, "Where is the old man's home?" The host replied, "Walking all the way to the sea from here, there is a field of hemp, and the old man lives in a hut there."
Shiro thanked him and ran there quickly. When I got there, I saw a hunched-back old man in his seventies sitting on a straw mat in front of the stove in the courtyard drinking tea. When the old man saw Shiro, he asked, "Why did you come back at this time?" It turned out that he was an old man living in a lacquered room in his own country.
Shiro first stepped forward to express his blessings and greetings, and then he went to Beijing to do business and was forced to be detained for a long time in a foreign country, as well as the miracles he experienced last night, and expressed his sincere heart to the old man who built graves for his wives and often sacrificed them. grateful.
The old man said: "After you went out that year, war broke out since the summer. People in the village fled around. The young and strong were arrested as soldiers. The mulberry field was barren and overgrown with weeds, and it became a place where foxes and rabbits appeared. Your wife Miyagi sticks to the appointment of Lang Junqiu and refuses to run away from home. The old man has bad legs and walks hard, so she can only hide at home and never flee. In that ghost-infested world, the young woman Miyagi is strong and vigorous, and does what she does. It is rare in an old man's life. Autumn comes and spring comes, and your wife died on August 10 of that year. The old man took it with his own hands and put it in a coffin, buried it in a burial cavity, and pasted her last handwriting on the grave as an epitaph. He also set up a water supply container, and offered sweeps from time to time to express his feelings. The old man could not write, could not write down the date of her death, and because he was far away from the monastery, he could not ask for the ordination name. It has been five years since he listened. You said, it must be the soul of the martyr who has come back and talked to her heart. Let's go to the grave again and make a devout memorial service." After speaking, they walked to the grave with Shiro and knelt down and wept loudly. They chanted the Buddha all night. Until dawn.
On this sleepless night, the old man said to Shiro: "A long time ago, when the ancestors of the old men were not born, there was a beautiful girl in my hometown who was called the hand son. She was from a poor family and often wore blue-collar linen. I have no time to comb my temples and even have no shoes to wear, but the moon-like faces and flower-like smiles of my children are far better than the noble ladies who wear brocades in the capital. Needless to say, the young people in this township, even the military officials and neighbors in the capital The men of the country are all admiring pursuit. The children of the hand cannot overcome the pain of entanglement, and they think that it is better to die to repay the lover. So he threw himself into the sea. This sad and moving story has been praised and circulated by people, and praised by singing and singing. When an old man is still a man When I was a child, my mother told me that, although as a ignorant young child, I couldn’t fully understand the pain in it, but the feelings of the hands of the children did touch me deeply. Now your wife’s grief is more sad than the hands of the children. Touching." At this point, the old man burst into tears and sighed. Shiro was so sad that he couldn't hold on himself, turning his infinite emotion into a simple song: The
real hand children, the world remembers affectionately;
Shiro is passionate and will never echo.
Although this song cannot fully express Shiro's longing for his wife, its sadness and desolation are more touching than the singer who works at resignation. Therefore, the traders who traveled to and from the Xia Zongguo have been passed on by word of mouth, and it is still popular today.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------- In a dynasty long ago in
"Snake Sexuality"
, a man named Otaku Takesuke lived in Miwazaki, Kii. He was engaged in seafood business and employed many The fisherman catches all kinds of fish and shrimp and leads a very prosperous life.
Da Zhai Zhusuke has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Taro, is simple by nature and diligent in production. The second is a daughter, married to Yamato. The youngest son, Fengxiong, is gentle by nature, loves elegance, and has no intention of running the family business. Otaku Takesuke is very worried about the future life of his youngest son, and often thinks; if he is given the property, he will be swallowed by outsiders in a short time. If he is allowed to enter another home, it will inevitably be worrying, alas! Whether he is a scholar or a monk in the future, let him go. He was destined to add extra burden to Taro. Therefore, it is no longer strictly controlled.
Later, Toyoo worshipped Shingu Shrine Abenomiya Maro as his teacher, and went to receive teachings every day. One day in late September, the sky was exceptionally clear, and the sea was calm. Suddenly a dark cloud rose in the sky to the southeast, and light rain began to fall. Toyuo borrowed an umbrella from the master and rushed home. He walked to the vicinity of the main hall of Asuka Shrine. It rained more and more, and Toyuo ran into a nearby fisherman’s house to take shelter. Seeing that it was Toyohio, the old fisherman hurriedly greeted him: "The young master is here. If you don't think the humble house is simple and dirty, please sit in the house." As he said, he patted the cushion and handed it over. Toyohio said, "You don't need to be arrogant, I will take shelter from the rain for a while."
Toyohiro sat there, waiting for the rain to stop. After a while, he heard a pleasant voice outside: "Let's shelter from the rain for now. Come!" Toyoo looked towards the door and saw a woman in her twenties with a handsome face and a chic hair style. She was wearing a cyan landscape kimono, followed by a fourteen or five-year-old maid, who was also very beautiful and in her arms. Holding a baggage. Toyoo was moved by the beauty of this woman, thinking that she had never heard of such a beautiful woman here. Could she have come from the capital to visit the Sanshan Mountains, or came to the beach to play, but she didn't see a manservant by her side. , Too careless. With this in mind, Feng Xiong stood up from his seat and greeted the woman: "Please sit inside, the rain will stop soon."
The woman said, "Then bother." Because the room was narrow, she sat opposite Toyuo. Toyoo approached and took a closer look and realized that the woman was charming and radiant, she was really rare in the world, and she couldn't help but asked the woman, "It looks like you are a young lady, but are you here to visit the three mountains? Or go to the hot springs on the mountain? What can we admire about this desolate beach? Poetry Yun:
Miwazaki, the rain is sorrowful. At
Sano, there is no villager .
But it is exactly the situation today? This shabby room is the fisherman’s residence in the next house. Please rest at ease. I don’t know where does the lady live? I wanted to send her home but
I’m afraid of inconvenience. Please take this umbrella!" The woman said, "Thank you for the officials’ hospitality and enthusiasm. It seems to get me wet. My clothes are all dried. The little girl has lived here for a long time, not from the capital. I heard that today is an auspicious day, so I went to visit the Nachi Shrine. Unexpectedly, it rained heavily and came in recklessly to escape. I was fortunate to meet a gentler like you. Humble House It’s nearby, and when the rain stops for a while, we should go back.”
Toyohio gave in again: “I’m afraid the rain will stop for a while. Please take the umbrella, please take it from the palace in the future, or send someone Go to the mansion to retrieve it. Please tell where the residence is." The woman replied: "Go to the new palace and find out where the real daughter of the county is. "After seeing the woman there, Toyohio borrowed the clothes and hat from the fisherman's house and went home. After arriving home, the shadow of the woman lingered in his head, and he could not fall asleep for a long time at night. When the day was about to dawn, he dreamed that he would visit his real daughter's mansion. He saw that the gate was tall, the house was towering, the slab windows were hanging high, and the bead curtains were hanging down. It was really a typical mansion. The true daughter greeted her and said: "The official's sincere kindness is hard to forget, the official please come here." Then he led Fengxiong into the door and brought out a variety of fresh fruits and fine wines. Feng Xiong was overjoyed and ecstatic. He was about to live with his real daughter, but suddenly woke up from his dream, and saw that the sky was already bright. Feng Xiong wondered how good it would be if all this were true... , I didn't care about breakfast, so I went out.
Toyuo came to Shingu and asked about his real daughter's house, but no one knew. It was past noon, and Feng Xiong was looking anxiously, only to see a young girl coming from the east, it was the maid. Toyohio was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Where is the wife's house, the villain is here to ask for an umbrella." The maid smiled and said, "Welcome officials to come, please come with me." She said she led the way. The maid stopped and said, "That's it." Fengxiong looked at the tall gatehouse, with slab windows and bead curtains as he had seen in his dream, feeling very strange in his heart, and followed the maid into the door.
The maid walked ahead and said: "The official who borrowed the umbrella is here." "Where is the official? Come in, please!" The real daughter walked out as soon as the voice fell. Toyohio said, "Mr. Abe from Shingu Township is my teacher. I went to my husband today and wanted to drop by to ask for an umbrella. I already recognize the door, and I will visit again sometime." The
real daughter hastily stayed after hearing this, "Ma Luoya, Don’t let the officials go.” Before the voice came, the maid had already stepped forward and stopped Toyohio: “Don’t the officials have to lend us an umbrella? Today, in order to thank the officials for their kindness, the lady ordered the officials to be kept.” , Push Toyuo to the main hall.
The main hall is covered with tatami mats, and furniture such as screens, cabinets, and curtains are all antique and high-quality items, which seem to be absolutely extraordinary. The real daughter walked into the main hall and said: "Unfortunately, there is no host, so it is difficult to treat me with enthusiasm. I would like to offer a glass of thin wine to express my gratitude. I hope that the officials are not surprised." Planting delicacies of mountains and seas, Ma Luoya held a pot and served wine, and persuaded each other diligently. Toyoo was in a dream at this time, for fear of awakening again, but all this was indeed true, but he felt incredible.
The host and guest gradually became drunk and drunk with dim eyes. The face of the real daughter was like a cherry blossom, which was even more beautiful. She poured another glass of wine and handed it to Toyohiro. With a spring breeze, she opened her lips softly, and said like a tactful Ying cry: "Although you are ashamed to say what you say in your heart, you will be sick for a long time in your heart. I heard from the slave's family that the little girl was originally from the capital, and her parents died at a young age. She grew up with a nanny and married a certain county in her own country. Three years have passed. Unexpectedly, her husband fell ill suddenly this spring when her term of office has not expired. When I passed away, I lost my support. Now the nanny also shaved her hair and wandered around without whereabouts. Now I am unaccompanied and trapped in a foreign land. It is very sentimental. I was taken care of by sheltering from the rain yesterday. Women willing favors. if your mind, please drink this wine cup of water to make Qin Jin of the Union. "
Toyo early thus meaning, if we tied the knot this wife, really Sanshengyouxing, unfortunately now I have not yet become self-reliant, how dare I rashly agree without the permission of my father and brother?
Seeing Toyohio's hesitation, the real daughter felt sad and said, "As a woman, I have said this nonsense, and now I feel shameless. A desperate person like me, who has thrown himself into the sea a long time ago, will be annoying today. Officials are really sinful. Although what I said just now was out of infatuation, but I asked the official to lose words after drinking and just pretend not to hear it!"
Toyohiro said, "I knew it from the moment I saw you. The lady must be a noble lady in the capital. She was born in this whale-infested country, a remote corner of the seashore. She was just the son of a fisherman. Of course she was happy to hear you promised each other. It’s just that she still lives on her father and brother, and has no growth. I don’t have anything to make a betrothal gift or marriage, so I dare not rashly agree. If the lady is willing to suffer, the villain is naturally willing to stay with her for life. Just as the ancients said:'Confucius is dumped by love', the villain can do it for love today. Forget filial piety and self-esteem."
After hearing these words, the true daughter said: "The official will not give up. Please don't be too humble and simple. Come here from time to time. This is the rare treasure that the husband loved before his death. Please accept it with the official." The treasured sword with gold inlaid silver can be seen at a glance as a famous sword in ancient times. Feng Xiong thought that if he refused to accept this kind of affection, he was afraid that it would upset his true daughter, so he accepted it. The real daughter repeatedly asked to stay and said, "Let's stay here for the night!" Toyuo said, "I didn't tell my father and brother to stay overnight. I was afraid that they would blame them. I will come back tomorrow night." So he left and returned home. I never fell asleep all night.
The next morning, Taro greeted the fisherman to go to the sea, and got up early in the morning. When he walked past Toyuo's room, he occasionally saw a gleaming sword under the shadow of the light from the crack of the door. Taro wondered: "Strange, where did you get this treasured sword?" He pulled the door in. The sound of the door awakened Toyuo, and when he saw Taro, he asked, "What's the matter?" Taro asked, "What is the shiny thing next to the pillow? This kind of precious thing is not commensurate with the fisherman's family. If you see it, you must blame it."
Toyuo said: "It was not bought with money, it was given to me yesterday, so I put it here." Taro said loudly: "Why would anyone give you such an expensive thing? Collecting those Chinese books in the past is a waste. It’s just because my father didn’t say anything, and I’ve been reluctant to say anything. Do you have to wear this sword to participate in the Shingu Shrine Grand Festival? I really don’t know how high the sky is!” The
mansion heard Taro’s shouts. He called out: "Taro, what bad thing did that trash do? Bring him here!"
"I don't know where he bought a sword that the general wears. It's simply not proper. Please ask him. I want to. Urging the fisherman to go to sea." Taro said and went out.
His mother called Toyuo to go and asked, "Why did you buy such an expensive thing? All the firewood, rice, oil, and salt in your house belong to Taro. What do you have? It's fine for you to do what you like. Now you have to make Taro angry again. If you continue like this Going down, there will be no place for you in the future. You have read a lot of sages' books, don’t you even understand this point?"
Feng Xiong said, "This treasured sword was really not bought, it was given to me. But I was reprimanded by my brother."
Da Zhai sternly scolded: "What credit have you done to others, they will give you treasures? That's nonsense, tell the truth quickly!" Toyohiro said,
"This is really hard for me to tell, and I can't speak bluntly to my father." Da Zhai He sternly shouted: "If you can't tell your parents, who else can you talk to?"
At this time, Taro's wife was at home and stepped forward to persuade: "My parents should calm down and ask me to ask carefully. Toyuo, come here with me." So Toyuo went with her.
Fengxiong said to his sister-in-law, "I wanted to discuss it with my sister-in-law secretly, but I was scolded by my brother first. There is such a woman... alone, she said she wanted to agree with her, so she gave this treasured sword, brother. I knew I couldn’t help myself. I accepted the marriage privately without the consent of my father and brother. Now I really regret it. I hope my sister-in-law can appreciate the little brother’s hardships and give more advice.”
Taro’s wife laughed: “The brothers have not yet married, and the sister-in-law is also very anxious. Now this is not just a happy event. My sister-in-law will do my best to make it happen.” That night, he told Taro about it and said, “This is really a good thing. You can talk about it in front of your father.”
Taro wrinkled. Brow said: "It's really strange. I have never heard of Guoshou's subordinates surnamed county. Even if Guoshou's subordinates died, as the head of the fishermen, my family would not know it. Anyway, you still bring that treasured sword. Take a look." Taro's wife went to fetch the treasure and hand it to Taro. Taro took a closer look and sighed, "It's amazing. A few days ago, a minister in the capital dedicated many treasures to Kumano God. Who would have thought that these treasures would have disappeared? The matter was reported to the National Guard. I heard that the second official, Mr. Fumuro Hiroyuki, came to Omiyaji’s premises to catch the thieves in person. This knife is definitely not something ordinary people, let daddy look at it." Taro immediately took the treasure knife. In front of the house, he told the matter one hundred and fifty-one, and asked: "This matter is not a trivial matter, what should I do?"
At this time, Da Zhai's face turned pale: "How can this be good? This Toyuo is usually cautious and doesn't dare to take it arrogantly." Pulling a vellus hair from others, what kind of retribution caused him to have such a bad heart. If this matter is known to be reported by others, our family will have to be copied and cut down. For the sake of future generations, you must not protect this unfilial son. You will go tomorrow. Report officer!"
When it was dawn, Taro went to the Omiya Secretary's House, presented the treasure sword, and recounted what had happened. Omiya looked surprised and said: "This is what the minister dedicated." After hearing the news, the deputy national guard immediately ordered ten samurai: "Go quickly to capture the thief and recover the other lost items." He ordered Taro to lead the way. Go straight to the house.
Toyuo was still in the dark at this time, and was studying at home concentrating on his studies. When the samurai came forward to arrest him, he repeatedly asked: "What crime did I commit?" Where did the samurai listen to his defense, they had tied him up in a big way. Toyoo's parents and Taro and his wife were only panicked when they saw such a situation.
"You must be arrested by the Yamen!" The samurai set up Toyohio and escorted them to the Yamen.
The second official stared at Toyohio and asked: "You steal the treasures of the gods, this is an unprecedented crime. Where are the other stolen goods hidden? Hurry up and recruit them!" The widow gave it to me, saying it was from her husband’s life. Ask the adult to call the woman to confront you and you will know that the villain is innocent.” The
second official was even more annoyed after hearing this: “There has never been a county under this official. If you deceive the chief, you should be more guilty!” Toyuo pleaded bitterly: “I am detained here now, how dare I lie any more, please let the lord tell the woman to come and ask.” The second officer told the samurai: "Where does the true daughter live?
Take Toyohio to bring him to justice." The samurai took the order and escorted Toyohio straight to Xingong Township, but when they got there, the tall gatepost was already rotten and the wall was broken. Ruins, wormwood overgrown, where is like a place to live. Seeing this scene, Toyohio was stunned and at a loss. The warriors sought out people who lived nearby, and the Zai Weng, Chumifu, and all the neighbors knelt to the ground in panic. The samurai asked: "Who owns this house? Does the widow of
a certain county live here?" A blacksmith replied, "I have never heard of this person. When the village owner Mo and so was here three years ago, the courtyard was prosperous, and later He went out to ship goods in Kyushu. Since then, his whereabouts have been unknown. Later, his family gradually separated and no one lived. I heard that the young man came here yesterday, and he stayed here for a long time before leaving. He was spotted by an old painter. It's weird."
"Let's just go in and see what is going on, so we can give back to the adults." The samurai said as they opened the door and went in. I saw rubble everywhere in the courtyard, overgrown with weeds, and going inside, it was a wide courtyard. The pool in the courtyard has long since dried up, the flowers and plants are all dead, the grass is overgrown, and a pine tree falls across it, looking gloomy and terrifying. When he opened the lattice door of the main hall, a gust of wind suddenly blew out, and he took a few steps back from the fright.
One of the samurai warriors named Ju Shi Xiong Prayer said, "Follow me!" saying that he strode in. I saw an inch of dust accumulated on the floor inside, full of gopher dung, and in the middle of a dilapidated curtain, sat a flower-like beauty. Jushi said: "Guo Shou summoned, leave quickly." The woman was silent. The crowd was about to come forward to capture, when suddenly they heard a thunderbolt like a landslide, and everyone fell to the ground in shock. In a blink of an eye, the woman was nowhere to be seen. Everyone settled and saw bright treasures piled on the floor. They tremblingly approached and watched. Zhujin, Wu Ling, Japanese text, bamboo, sling, gun, quiver, shovel, etc., were all divine treasures lost by the government.
The samurai brought back the treasure and gave a detailed report on the strange things they saw with their own eyes. After hearing the news, the second official, Omiyaji, knew that the goblin had done something wrong, so he no longer severely blamed Toyuo. However, Feng Xiong was still unavoidable of the crime of concealing the stolen goods, and was taken to the National Guard's Yamen Prison.
Otaku Taro and his son spent a lot of money to save Toyuo, so Toyuo was released after being imprisoned for 100 days. Toyohio said to his father: "I have no face to see my hometown father and elders, and I want to live with my sister Yamato country for a period of time." Da Zhai promised his son's request: "You have encountered such a big disaster, and we are also worried about your serious illness. Go to your sister. You can rest for a while." So he sent the servant to take him off.
Toyuo's older sister lives in Pomegranate City, and his brother-in-law Tanabe Jinzhong is a businessman. He was very happy to see Toyohio here. He told him what happened some time ago, and persuaded him lovingly: "Just stay here forever."
Pomegranate City is not far from Borse Temple. The Guanyin in the temple is so efficacious that it has become famous overseas. From the end of the new year to early spring and February, visitors from all over the capital are in an endless stream, and every family in Shiliu City is full of pilgrims.
The Tanabe family runs an incense business. Among the pilgrims who bought incense in front of the store one day, there was a beautiful woman from Beijing with a maid by her side.
The maid yelled when he saw Toyohio, "The official man was here." When Toyohiro saw that it was the real daughter and the maid, he shouted and hurriedly hid in the shop. Jinzhong and his wife asked: "What's the matter?" "The monster is chasing here, don't go close to her." The surrounding pilgrims also commotion, shouting loudly, "Where is the monster?" At this time the real daughter. Walked into the store and said, "Don’t make a fuss. Don’t be afraid of officials. They are wronged by the slave family because of their faults. The slave family feels deeply guilty. Today I finally met the officials and the Nujia was very happy. The owner of the shop think about it, if the Nujia is really a monster, how dare to appear in the crowd in broad daylight! Look again, my clothes are stitched, under the sun There are also shadows. This is all plain evidence. What's suspicious?" After
listening to Fengxiong, he calmed down slowly. The suspiciousness was not completely relieved. He said, "You are by no means a real person. The samurai held me that day. Come to your house together. That house is not what I saw before. In that desolate place where only monsters can live, you are sitting alone in the house. When the samurai tried to capture you, there was a thunderbolt on the sunny day and disappeared. No trace without a trace. I saw these with my own eyes. Today you are chasing here again. What are you going to do? Go away!" The
real daughter said with tears, "It makes sense for the officials to think so. But let the slaves say a few more words. Sentence. That day, I heard that the official was called to the yamen, so I discussed with the old man who usually helped me, and razed the house to rubble. As for the arrest of me, there was a thunderbolt, and it was my agency called Ma Luoya. Later, I hired a boat and fled to it. Namba. In order to listen to the news of the officials, I came here today to worship the Buddha and make a wish. I was instructed by the ancient song "Furukawano Road Two Cedars". I actually saw the officials here again. It really entrusted the great mercy of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Let’s talk about those. God treasure, where can I steal it from a weak woman? I think it was a bad thing the husband made with evil thoughts in his heart. Wang officials thought carefully, and understood the true feelings of the slave family." He began to cry.
Toyuo was both misgiving and affectionate, unable to speak for a while. The Jinzhong couple heard the real daughter’s explanation clearly, and when they saw her elegant manners, they no longer doubted, and said: "Listening to what Toyohiro said is indeed terrifying, but think about it carefully, how can there be such a strange thing in the world? . You have found this place all the way, even if Toyuo doesn't accept it, we will keep you in it." After speaking, he led the real daughter into the inner room. After some days, the real daughter was very pleased with Jin Zhong and his wife, so she took advantage of the situation and begged them to persuade Toyohio. Jin Zhong and his wife were also moved by her infatuation, they tried their best to persuade Toyohio, and finally they became husband and wife.
As the days passed, Toyuo completely eliminated the doubt and estrangement with his true daughter. The couple made a vow to meet each other, hoping to grow old and stay with each other forever. They enjoyed their husband and wife's relationship every night when the mountains of Katsuragi and Mount Takama were enveloped by clouds and mists. The joy of joy lasted until the morning bell of Hatsase Temple rang. It was really like glue, I only hated seeing each other too late.
In March of Yangchun, Jin Zhong said to Toyohio and his wife: "Yoshino has the best spring scenery. Although it is not as good as the capital area, it is far better than Kishu. Mifune Mountain and Caizhechuan are the places that tourists dream of. Now it is a place to visit. You two might as well go on a spring outing together.” The
real daughter smiled and said, “Since ancient times, nobles have loved Yoshino, and people in Beijing regretted not visiting Yoshino. But I got a disease when I was a child. If you go to crowded places or walk for a long time, you will get dizzy. Maybe you can't serve with you this time. I just hope that the officials will bring some Yoshino specialties back." Jin Zhong and his wife said: "That was because of tiredness from walking and even sickness. Although there is no ox cart in my house, you can hire a sedan chair and walk there. If you stay at home, Toyuo will not be at ease."
Toyuo also persuaded: "Since my sister is so sincere in persuading , let's go. Even if I get sick on the road, You can get medical medicine at any time.” After hearing this, the true daughter had to set off with her husband even though she was reluctant.
Along the way, there are many tourists, and the women who admire the flowers are all gorgeous, but none of them can match the beauty of a real daughter.
Fengxiong and his true daughter came to a temple where Jinzhong and his wife were acquainted with each other. The abbot greeted him and said, "This spring is later than in previous years. Although the flowers are half gone, and Yingchi is already messy, the old monk will accompany you to a meeting. A better place to play.” That night, he and his wife were entertained by the Toyohio couple with Su Zhai.
In the early morning of the next day, the mist gradually faded away, and the sky became clear. Looking far away, the monasteries in the distance were high on the top of the mountain, and the monks' houses were scattered among the mountainside. Birds humming and flowers blooming, this is the most refreshing place in Yoshino Mountain.
Anyone who entered the mountain for the first time had to see the waterfall, so he asked the guide to lead the way. Toyoo went down the valley and walked near the former site of the ancient imperial palace, and saw the waterfall tumbling, and flocks of sweet fishes upstream. Toyoo and his wife opened the cypress lunch box and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the waterfall while eating.
At this time, an old man walked along the rock, numb and walking very vigorously. At the bottom of the waterfall, he stared at the Toyuo and his wife strangely. Both the real daughter and Maruoya turned around to avoid them. The old man stared at them intently, and muttered to himself: "It's strange, this fairy is going to confuse people again, it has been seen through by me, and it is so shameless." The
real daughter and Ma Luoya heard the old man's voice, fiercely. The ground jumped into the waterfall, the agitated water column rushed up, and the two of them disappeared, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and then it rained heavily.
The old man led the panicked crowd down the mountain and stopped under a dilapidated roof. At this time, everyone was scared to death and shrank into a ball. Old Wengdui Feng Xiong said: "I have carefully looked at your complexion, you know monsters are being confused, if not I save you, sooner or later will lose their lives in the future must be more careful.."
Toyo bowed to the ground and bowed to what has happened Tell it again, and pleaded piously to the old man: "Wangwang saves the little life." The
old man said: "It turns out that it is. This demon is a snake spirit who has practiced for many years. It is said that she is lustful in nature. If you cross the horse, you will give birth to a dragon and a horse. The reason why she pesters you is because of your good looks. Her lust is very persistent. If you are not careful, you will definitely lose your life in her hands." Everyone listened. Even more frightened, they all worshiped the old man, calling him a reappearance of a living god.
The old man smiled and said: "I am not a god. I am a priest who enshrines at Owa Shrine. I am called a majiu person. Let me send everyone back." So everyone went back with the old man.
The next day, Feng Xiong came to Dawo Township, thanked the old man, and gave three rolls of Mino silk and two villages of Zimian. Toyohio pleaded: "Hope the priest will remove the evil spirits from the xiaosheng." The old man accepted the gift, but he didn't leave it at all, and distributed it to the other priests. He said to Toyohio: "The fairy loves you so much that you are handsome, so you have to haunt you. You are also fascinated by the changing beauty of the fairy, and you have lost the strong spirit of a man. The fairy will definitely not give up on you, you From now on, you should cheer up your man’s ambitions and stabilize your mind. Then you don’t need to use the strength of the old man to expel the fairy. Be sure to stabilize your mind." Goodbye to the old man.
After returning, Toyohio said to his sister: "These days, being confused by monsters is all because of his own wrong nature. I can't show filial piety to my father and brother here, and it brought you bad luck. Thanks for your care, my little brother is grateful. , I want to return to my hometown and visit again in the future." So he bid farewell to Jin Zhong and his wife and returned to Kiyi country.
The parents and elder sister-in-law in the family heard about Fengxiong's encounter with the monsters, knowing that everything cannot be attributed to Fengxiong, but felt compassion, and was afraid that the fairy would come to entangle again. As a result, he planned to marry Toyuoo.
In Zhixiang, there is a rich son named Zhi Zhuangsi, the only daughter of the rich son who works as a picker in the palace. At this time, Enzhun returns to the hometown and sends a matchmaker to the mansion house to propose a marriage, hoping to recruit Fengxiong to join the family. Da Zhai's family then proceeded along the way, and immediately engaged in a marriage contract. The rich son, who is a picker, is even more overjoyed when he sees his family come to pick him up. The rich son has been in the palace for many years. After Toyooko entered the parenthood, he felt satisfied, but sometimes he couldn't help but think of the snake spirit's fascination with him.
There were no signs of abnormality on the first wedding night, so I don’t need to say. On the next night, Fengxiong was a little drunk and joked with Fuzi: "You have been living in the palace with Lieutenant General and Zai for a long time in the same bed. If you marry a countryman like me today, you will definitely be very dissatisfied." Fu Ziqiang At the beginning, he said: "Betraying the former alliance, but marrying me, an ordinary and colorless woman like me, the officials also harbor resentment." Feng Xiong was taken aback and looked intently. There is no doubt that the rich son is in front of him, but listen. The voice was clearly from the real daughter, dumbfounded. The woman smiled and said: "Officials need not panic. Even if you forget about each other, as long as you are destined, you and I will always meet. If you listen to other people's slander and abandon me, then I can't help but report the hatred. No matter what. How high the mountains of Jilu are, I will pour your blood from the peak to the bottom of the valley, and the officials should not ruin their lives." Feng Xiong thought she was going to demand her life, and she was shaking with fright and almost fainted. . At this time, Ma Luoya walked out from behind the screen and said, "Officials, is there anything unsatisfied with such a good marriage?" . The true daughter and Maruo Ya would give comfort and intimidation, and then take turns to persuade them, but Fengxiong stayed like a dead person until dawn.
After daybreak, Toyohio escaped from the new house and told Shoji about what happened last night, "Please think of a way to escape this disaster." Toyoyo was afraid of eavesdropping from behind, so he lowered his voice as much as possible. After hearing this, the Shoji couple turned blue and lamented: "How can this be good? I heard that a master from Kurama Temple in the capital came to Kumano to visit the shrine every year, and lived in a nearby temple last night. This master has great magic power, and everything The plague, monsters, and locust plagues can all be resolved. The local people respect him especially. Go and invite the mage to come." Busy sent people to the mountain. After a while, the mage came.
After hearing the cause and effect of the matter, the mage said indifferently: "How difficult is it to catch this mere snake spirit! Please rest assured." When everyone saw the mage said lightly, they all followed with a sigh of relief.
The mage first took the realgar, adjusted it into a potion, put it in a small bottle, and then walked to the new house. Seeing everyone hiding in fright, they laughed at them and said: "Whether young or old, are waiting there, I will catch that little snake immediately."
As soon as the mage opened the door, he saw a huge snake head stretched out towards him. The snake's head was blocking the door of the house. The whole body was snow-white and gleaming. Its eyes were like bronze mirrors, and its horns were like dead wood. It opened a mouth more than three feet wide and spit out a bleeding-red tongue. It was very ferocious and wanted to swallow the wizard in one bite. The mage screamed, he was paralyzed there, and the medicine bottle in his hand was also thrown aside early. He crawled out and said: "It's terrible! This haunting monster is not only a snake spirit, but also a plague god. How can the mage surrender her. If it weren't for me to run fast, she would have eaten her. !" As he fainted, everyone helped the mage up, and saw that his whole body was black and purple from head to toe, as if he had been burned by fire, it was clearly poisoned by a snake. Later, the mage just opened his eyes, but couldn't say a word. Pour a lot of cold water to no avail, and finally died. When everyone saw this situation, they were so frightened that they only cried and sighed.
Toyohio concealed his heart. He said, "Even such a magical wizard can't surrender that fairy. How can he escape his clutches if he is haunting me now. It is even more unreasonable for me to cause everyone to suffer. , Now there is no need to discuss with anyone, I have my own idea, please rest assured." After that, I have to enter the new house. The Chuang Shi family stepped forward to dissuade him, but Toyuo ignored it, opened the door and walked in. There was no commotion in the room, and the master and servant sat opposite each other. The true daughter said to Toyohio: "The officials and I have no grudges, why should I find someone to arrest me? If you retaliate with each other, don’t say that the official is a life, the whole town will have no grievances and miss me. I'm fascinated by the officials, don't think about him anymore." He spoke with a bit of flattery, but it made Fengxiong more uneasy.
Toyohio said: "As the saying goes,'People do not harm the tiger's heart, but the tiger can hurt others.' You have a very human heart, and you have been entangled with me several times, which made me miserable. Now you are using words of revenge. Threats are really vicious. If your love for me is like a mortal in the world, don't be guilty here anymore to make the Chuang family uneasy. As long as you let the rich man live, you will take me wherever you go. "The true daughter was very happy when she heard that, and nodded in agreement.
Toyohio left the new house and said to Shoji: "I have been entangled by this snake spirit. If I stay here, it will cause you to suffer even more. It is really unbearable. I beg you to break this marriage and save the life of the rich son. "After listening to Toyohiro’s suggestion, Shoji insisted on not agreeing, and said: "My family is also a family of martial arts. If you are so unreasonable, you will not lose face in front of the mansion family. Let’s find another way. I heard that Komatsuhara The Fahai monk of Daocheng Temple has high mana. Now that he is old, he doesn't usually go out of the temple, but he will never fail to save him." After he said that, he rode to the monk immediately.
All the way without stopping, did not rush to the monastery until late at night. Monk Fahai came out of Mianzang, listened to the description of Chuang Si, and said: "That is really enough for you. Although the old monk is old and useless, his Taoism is not very effective, but seeing your family suffer from this disaster, he dare not die. Help, you go back first, the old monk will arrive later." He took the mustard-flavored robes and gave them to Chuang Si, and exhorted: "Coax the beast to your side, cover her with the robes, and hold tightly. Hold down and don't let go, otherwise she will run away. Don't be flustered." Shoji took the robes and happily rode home.
After Shoji arrived home, he quietly called Toyohio, handed the robes to him, and said, "Be careful, you must do better!" Toyohio hid the robes in his arms, returned to the new house, and said to the snake demon: " Shoji allowed us to leave here, let's go. He saw the snake spirit showing a happy expression, so he took out the robes, blindfolded her abruptly, and held it down with all his strength. He only listened to the snake begging: "It's so uncomfortable. ! Why are you so ruthless, let go! "But
Toyohio still held it down with all his strength. At this moment, Monk Fahai arrived in a sedan chair, and the Shuang Shi family helped him into the house. The monk murmured a word, telling Toyohio to let go of his hand, and then lifted his robes. At first sight, the rich man was lying on the ground, with a white snake more than three feet long on his back, motionless. The old monk lifted the white snake and put it into the iron bowl held by his disciple. After crawling out a small snake that was one foot long, the monk caught it and put it in the iron bowl, wrapped the iron bowl with a cassock, and took the sedan chair back. Everyone was grateful, and worshipped them with their palms together.
The monk returned to the temple, dug a deep pit in front of the hall, buried the iron bowl in it, and applied mana to suppress it so that the snake essence would never be born. Now, the snake is still in Daocheng Temple. It is said that Shoji's daughter soon died of illness, but Toyoo saved her life.
