Chapter 181 Raven Head

Wang Wen, a scholar from Dongchang County, has been honest since childhood.

At dusk, Xiucai went to Hubei, passed the Six Rivers, and stayed in a hostel. When he went out for a walk, he met Zhao Donglou, a hometown. Zhao was a big businessman. He did business outside and did not return all year round. Both of them were very happy to meet. Zhao invited Xiucai to go to his residence to talk. When he came to the door, he saw a beauty sitting in the room. Xiucai stopped in consternation, turned around and left. Zhao grabbed his clothes and shouted through the window, "Nizi, I have something to discuss with my friends. You can avoid it first."

When the two entered the room, Zhao rectified the banquet and greeted each other. The scholar asked, "Why is this?" Zhao said, "This is a brothel. I'm here for the time being because I'm running around." While talking, Ni beauty came and went frequently, and the scholar was embarrassed. He got up and said goodbye. Zhao insisted on retaining her.

Suddenly, I saw a girl passing by the door and saw the scholar. The autumn waves spread frequently, and her eyebrows were affectionate. The girl has an elegant temperament and is as beautiful as a fairy. The scholar has always been upright, but at this moment, he shook his mind and asked, "Who is the beauty?" Zhao said, "She is the second daughter of a pimp, a little crow, and she is fourteen years old. There are as many admirers as cattle. Many people pay for her to sleep with her, but the crow refused. Therefore, I am often whipped by my mother, and now I am still in the middle of my boudoir.

When the scholar heard the words, he bowed his head silently and was in a daze. Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Wang, are you moved? If so, I will match it for you. The scholar sighed, "I dare not have this idea." Having said that, he refused to leave for a long time. Zhao smiled and said, "Are you really not moved?" Xiucai said, "Brother Zhao's kindness is in my heart. But I'm shy in my pocket. Even if I have an idea, what can I do?"

Zhao was originally joking casually and thought, "The crow's temperament is fierce. How can he like poor scholars?" But he said, "Money is not a problem. Let me figure it out. Is ten taels enough?"

Xiucai thought: "How can ten taels be enough? But it's better than nothing." So he took two taels of silver, thanked him, poured out everything, collected five taels of silver, and asked Zhao to make an answer. The old lady really disliked the lack of money, and the crow advised her: "My mother always blames me for refusing to pick up guests. At present, it's what you want. The child sold his body for the first time. Although he didn't have much fifteen taels of silver, it was always a deal. That's it. With the first time, there will be a second time. There will be a long time to come, and there are many opportunities to make money.

The old woman has always been stubborn and unhappy because of her daughter's temperament. At present, it is rare for her to take the initiative to pick up guests, and she is naturally happy to agree. At that moment, he nodded and ordered the maid to invite the scholar.

It's night. The scholar and the crow head sleep in the same bed, with infinite love. After that, the crow said, "The cheap concubine is in the fireworks. The prince doesn't dislike my identity and lingers with the crow. I'm very grateful. However, the prince lost all his wealth, but in exchange for an overnight joy, what should he do tomorrow?

When the scholar heard the words, he burst into tears. The crow said, "Son, don't cry. It's not what I want to be a concubine. The prince is loyal and kind, and the cheap concubine has the intention to stay with you forever. For a long-term plan, let's run away overnight. Xiucai was overjoyed. The two got up and got out of bed. They heard that they knocked outside the house three times in a row. The crow changed to men's clothing. A man and a woman took advantage of the night to cover, called the servant and hurriedly fled.

The scholar carried two donkeys with him. The crow's head took out a few yellow charms from his arms and stuck them on the donkey's ears and the servant's thighs. The three of them galloped with whips, and the donkey ran like flying, which was unspeakable.

The wind roared in his ears, and the scholar could not open his eyes. At dawn, the group came to the Hanjiang Port and rented a house to live in. When Xiucai asked the girl why she was proficient in spells, the crow said, "It's okay to tell you the truth, but don't be afraid. At that time, I was not a human, but a fox demon. My mother is greedy and forces me to pick up guests every day, and she has been dissatisfied with her for a long time. Now out of the sea of suffering, a hundred miles away, my mother is no longer able to trace the trace, and she has been sound since then.

Xiucai did not doubt it and said, "I can't help but be happy to marry a girl. However, I couldn't help but be ashamed. How to make a living?" The crow said, "This is not a concern. The prince can go to the market to do some small business and support his family. It's not a problem. If you don't have the money, just sell two donkeys.

Xiucai followed the suggestion and really opened a small shop in front of the door to do some business with servants, sell wine and tea; the crow head embroidered at home, embroidered some shawls and purses for sale, which is quite profitable every day. The family situation gradually improved. Xiucai hired several maids to serve his wife and several servants to run the store. He no longer experienced it himself, but only supervised him.

On this day, the crow's face suddenly turned pale and said, "There will be great trouble tonight. What should I do?" Xiucai asked, "What's going on?" The crow said, "My mother has explored our two residences, and she will definitely come to force them. If you send your sister here, don't worry; I'm afraid that she will come out in person. In the middle of the night, the crow said gladly, "Don't worry, it's my sister here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Nizi push the door and enter. The crow greeted each other with a smile, and the girl scolded, "The little girl doesn't know shame, but she dares to elope. My mother asked me to arrest you. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand into his arms, took out a rope, and put it around the crow's head and neck. The crow's head said angrily, "What's wrong with me?" Nizi became more and more angry. She pushed her sister to the ground with a sneer, and the crow's skirt was torn.

When the maids and servants in the room heard the news, they came out to fight against the peace one after another. Nizi was afraid and left in panic. The crow sighed and said, "If my sister goes back this time, my mother must come in person. A big disaster is coming. Find a way quickly. He ordered the servants to pack their bags and was preparing to move overnight when his mother suddenly came out of thin air, with an angry face and said, "I knew that the little girl would resist, and she had to do it herself."

The crow knelt down and begged, but his mother ignored her, grabbed her hair and went away. The scholar wanders sad, and his sleep and food are useless. He hurried to Liuhe to find the whereabouts of the crow's head, hoping to redeem her with a lot of money. When I came to Liuhe, I saw that the door was still the same, and the personnel had changed. The crow's family of three had long been missing. When they asked the left and right neighbors, they all replied, "I don't know when they moved out."

The scholar returned with a melancholy, so he dismissed the servants, packed up his bags, and returned home.

A few years later, Xiucai accidentally passed by Yandu. He passed through the nursery and saw a little boy, seven or eight years old. The servant's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that the child looked like the young master, he looked at it repeatedly. Xiucai asked, "What are you looking at?" The servant smiled and said, "This little boy looks like his master." The scholar smiled and stared at the child carefully. He was extraordinary and thought, "The little guy is really similar to himself. Anyway, he doesn't have a son. It's better to redeem him and be his adopted son."

So he asked the child's name and replied, "Wang Zi." Xiucaiqi said, "You have been abandoned since you were a child. Why do you know your last name?" The child said, "The owner of the nursery hall told me. He said that when he picked me up, there was a word on my chest that said: Son of Wangwen of Shandong Province. The scholar was terrled and shouted, "I'm Wang Wen, but I don't have a son. It must be someone with the same name.

I like the smart child in my heart. I immediately took him home. As soon as the neighbors saw the child, they didn't need to ask, and they also knew that he was the son of a scholar. After a few years, Wang Zi gradually grew up. He was a powerful man. He liked hunting, fighting and killing, and did not produce. The scholar has been reprimanded many times, but it cannot be banned.

Wang Zi claimed that he could see the ghost fox, but his neighbors didn't believe it. Soon after, a fox demon in the village was in trouble and asked Wang Zi to identify it. Wang Zi stretched out his hand to point out the place where the fox demon was hiding. Several strong men held wooden sticks and beat them randomly. They only heard the sad voice of the fox demon endlessly, and the blood fell and sprinkled all over the ground. Since then, the fox demon has disappeared and the family is safe. When the villagers heard about this, they were secretly surprised.

On this day, Xiucai went to the market to play. Suddenly, he met Zhao Donglou and saw that he was untidy and his face was withered. He asked in shock, "Brother Zhao, how did you become like this?" Zhao sighed, "It's hard to say. Find a quiet place and talk about it slowly."

The two returned to their residence. The scholar set up a banquet to shock Zhao. Zhao drank a few glasses of wine and began to talk about his experience: "After the old lady captured the crow's head, he will be tortured sooner or later. Soon after the family moved to the north, the old mame forced the crow to pick up the guests, and the crow swore not to obey. The old lady was so angry that she was imprisoned. Later, the crow gave birth to a son and abandoned it in a secluded alley. Hearing that he was taken in by the nursery, he thought he had grown up now. This is the flesh and blood of Brother Wang.

The scholar heard the words and said, "It's a pity that the evil son has recognized me." Briefly talking about the beginning and end, he asked again, "Why did Brother Zhao fall like this?" Zhao sighed, "Today's love of the youth building should not be serious. Well, that's it. There's nothing to say.

It turned out that when the pimp's family moved, Zhao followed a certain road. There were a lot of goods around him, which was not conducive to migration. They simply dealt with them at a low price and sold them all. On the way to stay in a restaurant for dinner, the cost was very large, all of which was borne by Zhao and suffered a big loss. Nizi is a luxury. In the past few years, Zhao's family has disappeared. Seeing that he had run out of money, the old lady immediately looked coldly. The girl saw a different thought and hooked up with the rich man and stayed away all night. Zhao's resentment is difficult to calm, but he is in a foreign country, weak, but helpless.

On this day, when the pimp went out, the crow's head poked its head through the window and shouted, "Mr. Zhao, the little woman has a word to tell: the hook column woman, originally ruthless, are all people who see money and open their eyes. Now the prince is bankrupt, and he is still obsessed. If he doesn't leave, the disaster is not far away. Zhao was afraid when he heard the words, as if he had just woken up from a dream. Finally, I made up my mind to return home.

Before leaving, he secretly visited the crow's head, and the crow's head wrote a letter and asked him to hand it over to the scholar.

Zhao told the whole story one by one and took out the letter, in which he wrote: He was very gratified to learn that Zi'er was reunited with Xiang Gong. When the concubine is in trouble, Mr. Zhao will tell it for me. What do you say about the evil debt of the previous life? The concubine is in the secluded room, and there is no day. I suffer from whiplash every day, my skin is broken, I am hungry and unbearable, and I live like a year. If the father-in-law does not forget his past friendship, he can discuss strategies with his son to save me from the disaster. Although mother and sister are cruel, they are close relatives after all. You must tell your children not to hurt their lives.

The scholar read the letter, burst into tears, immediately showed the entanglement, and ordered his son to save people. Wang Zi had just turned eighteen years old this year. When he heard that his mother was suffering, his eyes were about to crack. Without saying a word, he set out quickly. When I arrived at the old pimp's residence, I saw the car and horses gathered in front of the building, and the business was booming. Wang Zi broke into the building. Nizi was having a banquet with the guests. At first sight of Wang Zi, he immediately changed his color. Wang Zi caught up and killed him with a knife.

The guest was shocked and shouted, "The bandits have killed people." Before she finished speaking, Nizi curled up and turned into a fox. She had already returned to her original shape. Wang Zi broke into the backyard with a knife. The old lady was ordering her maidservant to make soup. When she saw Wang Zi coming, she disappeared. Wang Zi looked around to search, laughed, bent down to take the bow and arrow, opened the bow and pulled the string, and shot an arrow at the beam. It hit the heart of the old man. He only heard a scream, and the dead fox fell from the air.

Wang Zi cut off the fox's head with a knife, found the place where his mother was imprisoned, smashed the doors and windows with a boulder, and rescued the crow's head. When the mother and son met, they cried bitterly and asked, "Where's your grandmother?" Wang Zi said, "Kill me." The crow head complained, "You child, why are you disobedient? Bury your grandmother quickly.

Wang Zi pretended to agree, secretly peeled off the fox's fur and hid it secretly. After the death of the pimp, he left a lot of gold and silver. Wang Zi smiled rudely and returned to his hometown with his mother. The husband and wife meet again, and the joys and sorrows are mixed. When Xiucai asked about the whereabouts of the old lady, Wang Zi said, "In my burden." While talking, he opened the package and took out two fox leathers.

The crow was furious and scolded, "Why are you so presumptuous?" Crying loudly, I'm heartbroken. Xiucai tried his best to comfort him and scolded his son: "Why are you still standing? I'm about to bury the fox skin." Wang Zi was annoyan and said back, "Has my mother forgotten the day of being beaten and suffering as soon as she got out of trouble?" The crow's head became more and more angry and cried. Wang Zi couldn't do it, so he had to dig a pit randomly and bury the fox skin, and then the crow's head was relieved.

With the return of the crow's head, the scholar's family is richer. He was grateful to Zhao for his kindness and sent him a lot of gold and silver. At this moment, Zhao knew that the old fox demons were all fox demons.

Wang Zi raised his parents and was extremely filial, but he was grumpy. Sometimes when his words were slightly different, he shouted and scolded. The crow said to his father-in-law, "My son has a 'stringent'. If he doesn't pick it, he will eventually kill people and ruin his family."

On this night, Wang Zi went to bed and rested, snoring like thunder. The husband and wife worked together and tied Wang Zi's hands and feet with a rope. Wang Zi woke up in shock and shouted, "My son is innocent. Why did you tie me up?" The crow said, "Don't be afraid, I'm treating you." Wang Zi didn't listen and shouted, but his hands and feet were restrained and it was always difficult to break free.

The crow's head took out a long needle, pierced his son's ankle, put three or four points into the meat, cut Wang Zi's hamstrings with a knife, pulled out the "streak" on his leg, and then made it in the same way, and pulled out his hand and the back of his head one by one. After doing everything, he untied the rope and said to his son, "It's okay. Have a good sleep."

The next day, Wang Zi ran to his parents' bedroom and knelt down to repent: "My son is very guilty about what he did in the past. Please forgive me." The scholar couple couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard the words.

Since then, Wang Zi has a gentle temperament, like a virgin, and has been praised by his neighbors.
