Scholar and girl

One day, he was walking in a wood when it suddenly began to rain heavily. He had no umbrella, looked anxiously about him, and ran to a nearby tree, under which he was going to shelter. "Ah, if it becomes an umbrella how good ah!" He did not run a few steps, saw a mushroom on the ground could not help but say. As soon as he had finished speaking, the mushroom really grew and grew so quickly that it was as tall as a bower, big enough to hold a dozen people.

The scholar was very happy, under it shelter, the body was not drenched with a drop of rain. Soon after, a mushroom girl also came to shelter from the rain. She was as beautiful as a fairy, and the scholar had never seen a girl as beautiful as her. He fell in love with her immediately and could not help looking at her secretly. The girl, seeing that he was handsome and a scholar, knew where he was going and what he was going to do, and fell in love with him. After a while they talked and got to know each other, and the young man told the girl that he was deeply in love with her and asked her to marry him. Girl would like to, but morosely told him that she was wearing a Zhu and controlled by her wake the old lady's hand, have to do her maid, do all the things she said, because if he does not listen to, she will chanting let hand Zhu becomes more and more thin, that she could not endure pain, hand knock Zhu not cut section, not broken, only read a spell to make it bigger to put it down, That it was impossible for them to fall in love.

"I will get a curse from the old lady to take that rhododendron off your hand, and I will die for it." The young man said firmly, asking the girl to tell him where the old lady lived. "In the woods not far ahead." The girl replied, telling the scholar that the old lady's house was a great fire, but if he should not be afraid, he should just walk over it and the fire would not burn him. "It's up to you to figure out how to get the old Lady to say the spell." The girl went on to show him herself when the rain stopped. The house of fire stood there, but the dead branches and grass around it did not burn.

Then the scholar went to a doctor and asked him to make a medicine that would make people confused. But he had no money, and promised to do whatever he could to get the medicine. The doctor told him to go to the mountains and get some herbs for him. A few days later, the scholar picked the medicine and got it. At night he pretended to be lost in the woods and came to the house of Fire. He went in without fear and found a wooden house. The wooden house was surrounded by a garden, with only a cut in and out of the front door. In the garden, colorful flowers are in full bloom, beautiful. He went in and explained to the old lady that he wished to stay with her for the night. "Of course that's okay." "Said the old lady very willingly, and asked him to sit down at the table, thinking that she had a woodcutter now. After a while, the old lady and the girl prepared their meal. While the old lady was in the kitchen, the scholar took the opportunity to pour the medicine already prepared into the dishes that were brought to the table, except on his side of the table. The girl helped in all this, and was glad that she had been saved.

After eating the meal, the old lady smiled and said to the scholar: "I send you a jade Guanyin. If you hang it on the cloth, you will find your way to Beijing." That she really cared for him. The girl know that jade Guanyin can not hang, listen to the whole heart are worried. The scholar did not forget the girl's warning to him, saying, "How can I accept such an expensive gift? You'd better hang it on your own cloth." The old lady showed that she did not have to go far away, would not encounter any danger, also do not live for long, this jade Guanyin has not been used. "Here you go." She continued, going over to hang the Jade Guanyin for him herself. At this time, the scholar felt for a handkerchief, said: "Like such a beautiful gift, I had better wrap it in the handkerchief, or sooner or later will be wiped. It was a dusty journey, and I had to keep it safe." "What if I lose it like that?" "Said the old lady, raising her hand to hang. The scholar prevented it, indicating that he would protect it and not let it be lost. Each of them insisted on his own opinion, and after a while the old lady, feeling a little tired, said, "That's all right with you, as long as you have it with you." The girl smiled happily again.

Before long, the old lady and the girl were very sleepy and wanted to go to bed. Because there were no beds to spare, the old lady spread a ragged quilt on the floor in the middle of the sleeping room and let the scholar sleep on it. As soon as they slept in bed, they began to breathe evenly and fell asleep. At this time, the scholar went to the old lady's ear and said, "The girl ran out of the woods and over the mountains." But the old lady did not respond. The scholar continued to say several times, the old lady finally angrily said: "She can't escape, I now let her immediately obediently come back automatically." And as he uttered the incantation, the rhododendrine immediately began to shrink rapidly. The girl felt sick and tossed and turned in bed, but she was too sleepy to wake up at once. Seeing this, the scholar quickly said, "The girl has come back. Her hand is bleeding from being strangled and will soon be broken. Please recite a mantra to make it bigger." When the old lady read them, the scholar heard them clearly and memorized them. Then he went up to the girl and tried to take the rhododenod off her hand, but it was not big enough. So he began to spell until the rhododendron was big enough to be removed from her hand.

The next day the girl awoke to find that the rhododendenle was no longer in her hand, and her joy at knowing that she had been freed was beyond description. The scholar said goodbye to the old lady at once, saying that he had to hurry on. The old lady did not force him to stay, but said: "Now on the road, you put the jade Guanyin I gave you on the cloth. Otherwise, I don't trust you to leave. What if you lose it?" "Said, walked over to the scholar to take out the jade Guanyin, let her personally hang it up. As on the night before, the scholar insisted on his opinion, but the old lady refused and insisted on hanging it on his cloth herself. Finally, the scholar said: "Yes, yes, only in the woods, let the girl hang it up." The old lady smiled happily and replied, "All right. All right." I thought he had a crush on that beautiful girl. She could not have imagined that, as soon as they reached the wood, the young men had arranged to go to the girl's house.

Not long after they had gone into the woods, the old lady said a spell to the young man to come back at once. But she waited for a long time, but they did not come. She repeated it a second time, with the same result. At this moment, the old lady became suspicious and said a curse of rhododendrine to get the girl to come back at once, but she did not come. So she went into the woods to see for herself, and found that they were gone. The old lady was furious, but she couldn't figure out what was going on.

"It must be the scholar who did it!" "Go back to her hut," she said.

Finally, the two young men arrived at the girl's house. Her parents, beaming with joy at seeing their daughter again, were so grateful to the young man that they immediately ordered food and drinks to be prepared and let them eat first. But the girl's father did not agree to their love, told the scholar that he would agree to marry his daughter if he was successful. The SCHOLAR IS REALLY too love girl, firm answer: "I can't guarantee this time CERTAINLY CAN lift, please give me three years." Then he promised the girl that he would succeed once in three years, and then he would come and marry her. The girl loved him, too, and would have waited. The couple agreed, for the sake of their daughter's happiness. Before leaving, the girl's father gave the scholar a lamp and told him that if he lifted the porcelain lampshade outside, the lamp would shine brightly and he would be able to learn. Put the porcelain shade on and the lamp will go out again. "It's a magic lamp. It doesn't need any oil. You must study hard and don't let us down on your expectations!" 'he continued. The scholar took the lamp, assured the girl once more, and set out again.

When it was dark, they turned on the light and took out the book to study. Until late at night, he could not hold on any longer. He went over many mountains and through many villages. One day, as he was walking, he saw a very pretty girl tending sheep in a wide meadow not far from the road. She was not as beautiful as the girl who was waiting for her, but she could not help looking at her from top to bottom and was attracted to her. The girl found, see his stationmaster handsome, and a scholar also like him. Pretending not to see him, she went and sat down on a stone by the roadside, unwinding her bright hair and combing it happily, so as to give the scholar an opportunity to get to know her. But when the scholar approached the girl, he seemed to hear the waiting girl's voice coming from the wind: "Have you forgotten me and don't love me any more? Forget your promise? I've been waiting for you!" So the scholar reluctantly walked past, did not look at the shepherdess.

But after a period of time, he borrowed from a family, saw the daughter was also born as beautiful as heaven and earth, but moved. He thought to himself: perhaps you will not be able to marry the young lady in two years, or even in five or six years. You should cherish the opportunity now! He was always looking at the girl, who understood him and loved him very much. So they loved each other, and the old couple agreed. However, the scholar never forgot the young lady and his promise to others, feel that he did not pay responsibility, very sorry for her. A few days passed and the scholar was so unhappy that the girl could not help asking him: "Why do you look so sad?" "No, I'm happy." The scholar answered with a dry smile, trying to convince the girl. But at night, the girl couldn't fall asleep because she was in a bad mood, but she heard the young man talking in his sleep: "How can I love another woman? It was very wrong of me to do that to the young lady, and very irresponsible." On hearing this, the girl was so angry that she took three zhangs: "I want to severely punish a man with two flowers in his heart!" They were both witches, so she put the scholar into a small room in the middle of a mountain, where he would not eat, drink, breathe, or die, and suffer for a year without seeing daylight or moonlight, or hearing anything outside, complete isolation and deep pain.

As soon as the scholar was put into the mountain, he felt a terrible pain. At this moment, a girl's voice came in: "In a year's time the mountain will separate automatically and let you out." The scholar shouted to the girl to let him out and asked her why she did this to him. Then came the girl's voice: "To punish a bad and disloyal man who has two flowers on his heart." Scholar just realized that he had made a big mistake, he should not be half-hearted. But he regretted it had no use, the girl said and left, let him how to apologize for the mistake is useless. Who's going to hear him? However, the scholar made up his mind to overcome the pain and study hard in the hope of marrying a young lady in the second year. Then he put the lamp on the ground, opened the lantern, and immediately the little stone house was as bright as day, took out his books and began to study. In this way he went over the book again and again, not finding it long or boring because he was so absorbed in it. Until the books were torn to pieces, and a year had just passed. The mountains parted in the middle, making way for a path. Scholar out of the mountain, and immediately rushed to Beijing. At last, with superior results, he succeeded in winning the waiting lady. They married and lived happily to an old age.
