original text

Xishan people, Gaomi people Traders are business, and regulars are monks. On the way to the rest place, the rain stopped, and it was late at night, and there was no response to knocking at the door. Wandering around. Suddenly, the second door opened and invited guests to enter when they came out. Shan was happy to follow. There are not many sofas in the class. Hey:? I pity my guests, and if I don't return, I will accommodate them. I really don't sell food. There are only old, weak, women and children at home, and they are already asleep. Although there are overnight dishes, it is difficult to cook less. Don't be too cold to drink. ? Just say it and go in. After a while, spread the floor of the bed and encourage the guests to sit down; It took me a short time to go back and forth. It's not safe to sit on the mountain, it's a temporary rest.

After a while, a girl traveled for wine. Gu Gu said:? My family is thriving. ? Looking at it, I am only 16 or 17 years old, gentle and graceful and charming. There are young brothers in the mountains who are unmarried. Because I asked the elderly to respect the valve, I replied:? Xu Shi, surnamed Gu. All the children died, leaving this daughter behind. I can't bear to disturb his deep sleep, but I want to wake him up. ? Q:? Who is the husband? A cloud:? Didn't write it ? Guanshan was secretly happy. When you are mixed, you seem to have a place to stay. Thank you after eating: people passing by are favored and dare not forget. Because of Weng Shengde, I dare to meet Chen Pulu: I have a younger brother, Saburo, who is seventeen years old. Business studies are not stubborn. Wouldn't it be too cold and cheap to ask for help? Sue Xi said: the old man is here and also an alien. If you can trust each other, you will run away from home and avoid suspense. ? All the mountains should respond, so I began to express my gratitude. After careful placement, I left Cocks crow, spit, and ask guests to take a bath. Dress warmly and pay for the meal. Content words:? Stay for a meal, there is no reason to receive money; Attached to marriage? No, come back in a month. When I arrived in the village, I met an old woman and took all her clothes away. Near, suspected ah xian. The girl also turned around frequently, but she didn't know what to say because of embarrassment. He stopped and said to Dashan, What's your last name? Shanyue:? However. ? Well, I said: Unfortunately, the old man was defeated and banned, and he will go to the grave today. Home is empty, please stay on the roadside less and return it when you leave. ? Then I went into the forest and moved to time. The road is dizzy. I'll walk with you. When you say that you are lonely and powerless, you don't feel sad, and the mountain is sour. Hey:? It's hard for orphans and widows to go too far because of the bad human feelings here. Xian is your daughter-in-law. I'm afraid it's too late. It is better to go out early and come back late. ? Mountains can be reached.

When I got home, I lit a lamp for the guests and called Shan:? Yi Jun came, and the millet storage was gone; There are more than twenty stones left, which is far from enough. Four or five miles north, the first person in the village who talked about Er Quan was my seller. Don't be afraid to work hard. First, you should take a bag and knock on the door to let us know. However, there are a few stones and millet in Daonan Village. When used as roads, it is the same to drive the hoof. ? That is, use a bag of millet to compensate for the mountain. Shance left, he knocked at the door, and a man with a big belly came out, told the truth and went home first. Russia has two husbands and five mules. Is to lead the mountain to Xiaomi in the cellar. At the foot of the mountain, the amount of exercise is going on, and the mother is released, filled up immediately and handed in. Every four returns, the millet begins to run out. Then he was awarded gold. Leaving one man and two beasts to rule Suidong. Twenty miles, it began to dawn. When I arrived in a city, Chengtou rented a car and the servant came back. When I came back, Shan told my parents with love. I was glad to meet each other, and then Saburo and I got married in another pavilion. I am fully prepared for the treatment. A Xian is taciturn, easily gets angry, or talks to others, but laughs and weaves day and night, so he is pitied by everyone. Tell saburo: Message to my uncle: If you cross the West Road again, don't mention my mother and son. ? After three or four years, Jia made a fortune and entered.

One day, I lived in an old neighbor's house in ancient times, and occasionally I didn't come back for a year, so I lived in Wengyi. The master said:? The guest made a mistake. Aberdeen is adjacent to the east. Three years ago, people living in it saw something strange, so they abandoned it for a long time. Why are we together? Dashan was shocked, but not convinced. The master said again:? The house has been empty for ten years, and no one dares to enter. On the first day, the back wall tilted and looked wide, and then the stone pressed the giant mouse like a cat, with its tail still shaking outside. It's embarrassing to rush back and let the public see it. Collective suspicion is the devil's business. After more than ten days of retest, I was silent; It has been 1000 years since people lived there. This mountain is amazing. Whispering at home, secretly suspecting that the bride is unreasonable and worried about Saburo; Saburo loves it as always. For a long time, the family competed to guess. The woman observed it, and at night Saburo said? I have been with you for several years, and I have never lost my virtue; I don't care about this today. Please give me a divorce certificate, and you can choose a good spouse. ? Cry. Saburo said? It's just a token of my appreciation. It's appropriate to know. Since the introduction of the Qing dynasty, the family has become increasingly rich, and salt has been blessed to the Qing dynasty. Are there any differences? Woman:? You have no second thoughts, don't you know? But opinions vary, so I'm afraid I can't donate autumn fans. ? Saburo comforted me again, but it was already.

The mountain will not be released in the end, and every day I will find a cat who is good at flapping its wings to overcome my differences. Although women are not afraid, they are unhappy. One night, I called it a minor illness. In order to save it, I resigned from my post in Saburo. Chensaburo went to the news. Then the room was empty. It's terrible, and people are tracking down the four roads, and there is no news. In the central camp, sleeping and eating are all rubbish. Father and brother are lucky and will continue to get married; Saburo is not afraid. More than a year has passed and the voice has been asking. Father and brother need to blame each other, but they want to buy a concubine, but they still think about Ah Xian. A few years later, the Xi family became poorer and poorer, so it was salty to remember Ah Xian.

There was an uncle Lan who took things to heart and lived in Qilu's house. I heard my neighbor crying at night, and I didn't ask. I heard it again when I went back, because I asked my master. A cloud:? A few years ago, a widowed mother and an orphan girl lived here. A few months ago, she died. The woman was alone and had no relatives, so she lost her ears. ? Q:? What's his last name? Say: Last name is Gu. Try to stay indoors and not communicate with Lishe, so I don't know his family background. ? Jing Lan said? My sister-in-law too! ? So I walked to the door. Someone waved tears and asked through the door:? Who is the guest? There are no men in my family. ? The blue gap peeks at the remote trial, and the fruit sister-in-law says: Sister-in-law Guan Qi, I'm Uncle Sui. ? The woman was allowed to enter the customs to tell her loneliness and sadness. Lan said: Third brother has a bad memory, and husband and wife have a good wife. Why did he escape here? That is, I want to rent it back. The woman said sadly: Because I have no teeth, I hide with my mother; Who doesn't look back at others today? If you want to return it, you should share it with your eldest brother; Otherwise, milk medicine will kill your ears! ?

Lan returned to Su Saburo. Saburo left in the evening, and when her husband and wife met, they both cried. Tell the owner the next day. The owner thanked Jiansheng, peeped at women and secretly wanted to be a concubine. For several years, he didn't straighten the house, and frequent winds showed it. Absolutely not. When you die, you can steal your wealth, but suddenly Saburo comes. Calculate the rent in order not to get into trouble. Saburo's family is not rich. He heard a lot of gold and was worried. Woman:? Might as well. ? Citing Saburo as a warehouse, about 30 stones were lost, which was more than enough to pay the rent. Saburo thanked him, but he was not influenced by Xiaomi, so he asked for gold. The woman sighed: This is the sin of my body! ? So I told Saburo how I felt. Saburo is very angry and wants to sue in the city. Lu stopped him in order to disperse the millet in the party, collect money and send it back by car.

Saburo told his parents and lived with his brother. Xian gave private money, the granary was built every day, but there were no stones at home, which was amazing. After several years of inspection, the warehouse is full. In a few years, the family will be rich; And at the end of my rope. The woman asked Weng Gu to support herself; I used to use Zhou Xiong, Jiangsu. Saburo is very happy: Talking can be described as letting bygones be bygones. ? Woman:? He loves his brother. Besides being my brother, why should I know Saburo? It's not surprising after that.

writings in the vernacular

Xishan, a businessman from Gaomi County, Shandong Province, often lives between Mengyin and Yishui.

One day, he was caught in a heavy rain on the road. It was already late at night when he arrived at his old place. Knocked on the door of the hotel, but no one answered. He had to wander under the eaves of a family. Suddenly two doors opened and an old man came out and invited him in. Xishan happily followed him in. Tie up the donkey and come to the hall. There is no bed or table in the room. The old man said, I am a poor guest. You have no place to live. So I invited you in. My family is actually not a family selling wine and rice. There are no extra people at home, only my wife and weak daughter, who have fallen asleep. Although there are some leftovers from the evening, I can't heat them because of the lack of cookers. Please don't dislike it and have some cold rice. ? When you're done, go in. After a while, he put a low stool on the ground and urged the guests to sit down. I went in and took out a short-legged coffee table. Running around, busy and tired. Xishan stood for a while, then sat for a while, feeling uneasy, so he took the old man to rest. After a while, a girl came out to pour them wine. The old man said: My family has grown up. ? When Xishan met this girl, she was sixteen or seventeen years old, slim, beautiful and charming. There was a little brother in Xishan who was unmarried and secretly took a fancy to this girl. He asked the old man about his native place and family background. The old man replied:? My last name is Gu. My son and grandson have long since passed away, leaving only this daughter. I didn't have the heart to disturb her deep sleep just now. My wife must have awakened her. ? Xishan asked? Who is the son-in-law The old man replied:? I'm not engaged. ? Xishan secretly happy. Then a lot of various dishes were placed, as if they had been prepared a long time ago. After Xishan finished eating, he respectfully thanked him and said that meeting by chance and being warmly received by you will never be forgotten. Because the old gentleman is a man of great virtue, I dare to ask one thing. I have a younger brother named Saburo. He is 17 years old and is studying. He is not stupid and stubborn. I want to marry this old gentleman. Don't think my family is poor! ? The old man said happily, the old man lives here and is also a stranger. If I can get a family like you to rely on, please lend me a room so that our family can move and avoid suspense. ? Xishan agreed and stood up to thank him. The old man politely arranged for him to stay before going out. The old man came out after the cock crowed. Xishan wash, please Xishan packed his bags and gave him money to eat. The old man resolutely refused. There is absolutely no reason to charge guests for meals. Besides, we are married to you and are in-laws. ?

After the separation, Xishan didn't come back from home for more than a month. More than a mile away from this village, I met an old lady leading a girl, whose clothes and hats were all white. I took a closer look and thought that the girl looked like a fairy. The girl turned to look at him again and again, pulling the sleeve of the old lady and saying something in her ear. The old lady stopped to ask Xishan. Is that Mr. Xi's last name? Xishan repeatedly said yes. The old lady looked sad and said, unfortunately, the old man was crushed to death by the collapsed wall. Now we are going to the grave, and there is no one at home. Please wait by the side of the road for a while, we'll be right back. ? So he went into the Woods. It took some time to come back. By this time, the road was already dark, so I followed the western hills. The old lady complained about the loneliness of herself and her daughter, and before she knew it, she cried, and Xishan was also sad. The old lady said:? The human feelings in this place are very unkind, and we orphans and widows are all very sad. Xian is already your wife. If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be delayed for many days. Why not go back with you tonight? ? Xishan also agreed.

After returning home, the old lady lit a lamp to wait on the guests and finished her meal. She said to Xishan. We expect that you will come back soon, so we have sold all the food stored at home; There are still more than twenty stones, because the road has not been delivered yet. Go north to Siwuli Road, the first gate in the village, and there is a man named Tan Erquan, who is our buyer. Don't be afraid of hard work. First, carry a bag with your donkey. After knocking at the door, tell him that Nancun's grandmother has a few stones of grain and wants to sell it as a travel expense. Please let him drive the animals to transport it. ? Just send a bag of grain to Xishan. Xishan rushed the donkey there, knocked on the door and a paunchy man came out. Xishan made things clear to him, put down the food and came back first. Soon, two servants came with five mules. The old lady led Xishan to the place where the grain was hidden, which turned out to be in the cellar. Xishan went down to give them food in buckets, and the old lady distributed it on it. Ah Xian accepted it and signed the code. I packed them up in an instant and sent them away. * * * delivered four dishes and then gave the money to the old lady. The old woman left them and two mules, packed their things and set off for the East.

It was twenty miles before dawn. When I arrived at a market town, I rented cattle at the edge of the market, and Tan Jia's servant went back.

After returning home, Xishan told the story to his parents. Both sides are happy to meet each other. The Xi family cleaned another house and let the old lady live in it. The fortune teller chose a good day to marry Saburo. The old lady gave her daughter a complete dowry.

Xian is gentle and gentle. When someone talks to her, she just smiles and weaves day and night. So the whole family loves and likes her. Xian told Saburo: Tell big brother not to mention our mother and daughter to outsiders when he passes through the west in the future. ? Three or four years later, the Xi family became richer, and Saburo entered the county school. One day, Xishan lived in the old neighbor's house, and occasionally talked about the time when he had no place to live and lived in the old man next door. The host said:? Customer: You got it wrong. My east neighbor is my uncle's villa. People who lived here often saw strange things three years ago, so it was abandoned for a long time. How can an old man and a woman stay for you? Xishan was surprised, but said nothing further. The host said:? The house has been empty for ten years, and no one dares to live in it. One day when the wall collapsed, my uncle went to see it and saw a big mouse under the stone. It was as big as a cat and its tail was still shaking outside. Uncle hurried back and greeted many people. The mouse is gone. People suspect that thing is a monster. 10 days later, I went in to test again. It was very quiet, leaving nothing behind. It took more than a year before anyone lived. ? Xishan feels more and more strange. After returning home, I had a private chat with my family. I suspected that my new wife was not human, and I was secretly worried about Saburo, but Saburo and Ah Xian were as loving as ever. After a long time, my family has been speculating about this matter, and Ah Xian is somewhat aware of it. I said to Saburo in the middle of the night: I have been married to you for several years, and I have never lost my daughter-in-law's character. Now you treat me like a person. Please give me a divorce certificate so that Lang Jun can choose a good wife. ? As he spoke, tears came down. Saburo said: You should have known how I feel. Since you came into my house, my family has become richer and richer. Everyone feels that this blessing should be attributed to you. How can there be other bad words? Xian said:? Don't I know that Mr. Lang has no second thoughts? But people are talking about it, and I'm afraid it's inevitable that I'll be abandoned, just like abandoning fans in autumn. ? Saburo comforted and explained again and again, but Ah Xian stopped talking about divorce.

Xishan couldn't let it go, so he found a cat good at catching mice and observed Ah Xian's attitude every day. Although Xian is not afraid, he always frowns. One night, she told Saburo that her mother was a little sick and said goodbye to Saburo to see her. After dawn, Saburo went to meet him and saw that the room was empty. Saburo was so scared that he sent people everywhere to look for their trace, but there was no news. Saburo's heart was troubled by thoughts, and he couldn't eat or sleep. However, Saburo's father and brother were grateful and took turns to comfort and persuade him to remarry, but Saburo was very depressed. After waiting for more than a year, the news broke, and my father and brother often laughed and scolded him. Saburo had to spend a lot of money to buy a concubine, but he still missed a sage. After several years, the family became poorer every day, so they all missed Ah Xian again.

Saburo has an uncle's cousin Allen, who has gone to Jiaozhou on business. On the way, he turned a corner to visit his cousin Lu Sheng and stayed at his house. In the evening, Allen heard someone crying in his neighbor's house and didn't have time to ask about it. When he returned to Lu Sheng's home from his work in Jiaozhou, he heard crying again, so he asked his master. The host replied:? A few years ago, two orphans and widows lived in a rental house here. Last month, the old lady passed away, and the girl lived alone and had no relatives. It was so sad. ? Allen asked? What did the host say her last name was: Last name is Gu. Her family is often closed and doesn't communicate with neighbors, so she doesn't know her family background. ? Alan said in surprise, is it my sister-in-law? So I knocked on the door. Someone came out crying through the door and promised: Who are you? There has never been a man in my family. ? Alan peeked through the crack of the door and looked at it carefully from a distance. It turned out to be his sister-in-law, so he said, Sister-in-law, open the door. I'm Allen from your uncle's house. ? Hearing this, Xian dialed the lock to let him in and told Alan about his loneliness and sadness. Alan said: Third brother misses you very much. Even if there is a little disagreement between husband and wife, why should he escape from here far away! ? Allen will rent a car to take her back with him. Xian said sadly, my mother and I live here in seclusion because people don't treat me like a human being. Now I have to go back and rely on others by myself. Who doesn't have to look at me with dirty eyes? If I want to go back, I must live separately from my eldest brother, otherwise, I will die of poison! ?

Allen went back and told Saburo about it, and Saburo escaped overnight. Husband and wife cried when they met. The next day, I told the owner of the house, Xie Jiansheng. The owner of the house saw that Ah Xian was beautiful and had secretly planned to accept Ah Xian as his concubine, so he refused to accept her rent for several years and hinted to Ah Xian's mother many times that the old lady refused him. When the old lady died, Xie Jiansheng was secretly glad that he could get it, but Saburo suddenly came. So I calculated the rent together for several years to make things difficult for them. Saburo's family is not rich. When he heard that he wanted so much money, he looked very sad. Xian said:? It doesn't matter. ? Led Saburo to see the granary. There are about thirty stones of grain, which is more than enough to pay the rent. Saburo was very happy and went to tell Xie Jiansheng. Xie Jiansheng doesn't want to eat, but only wants money on purpose. Xian sighed and said:? This is all because of my trouble! ? So he told Saburo that Xie Jiansheng wanted to marry her. Saburo is furious and will sue him in the county. Lu Sheng stopped him. He sold the grain to his neighbors, paid back the money to Xie Jiansheng and drove them home. Saburo told his parents the truth and lived apart from his brother.

Xian took out his own money and built a barn for several days, but everyone was surprised that there was not even a stone of food at home. After more than a year, I went to see it again and saw that the grain in the warehouse was full. A few years later, the family in Saburo was very rich, while the family in Xishan was very poor. Xian takes her in-laws with her to support her, and often gives money to help her eldest brother. She gradually gets used to it. Saburo said happily: You really can't forget the past. ? Xian said:? He loves his younger brother, too. If it weren't for him, how would I know Saburo? Nothing weird will happen in the future.
