Meng Jiangnu and Mother-in-Law
Author: Anonymous
Meng Jiangnu traveled thousands of miles to search for her husband and found the Great Wall. When she heard that her husband Wan Xiliang had died at the foot of the Great Wall, she cried until the sky turned dark and the earth turned dark with her cries. The sound of her cries shook the Great Wall down, revealing piles of bones. It turned out that thousands of workers who died building the Great Wall were all buried on the Great Wall.
Meng Jiangnu cried while looking for her husband’s body. There are mountains of bones, which one is Xiliang’s bone? She dug here and there, her fingers bleeding, and the blood dripped on the bones and slipped into the soil. Meng Jiangnu kept digging and digging despite the pain.
When she found a pile of bones, the blood coagulated on the bones like a knot. After picking up the red plum blossoms, Meng Jiangnu thought: The husband and wife are connected, and it must be my husband. She picked up the bones one by one and pieced them together, which happened to be a path of human bones. Meng Jiangnu wrapped the bones in a baggage and held them to her chest. cry.
Meng Jiangnu held the baggage and cried all the way, feeling that the baggage was getting heavier and heavier. Don’t move if you really want to, just sit on the roadside and rest. At this time, a pair of old men and old women came in front. The old woman approached Meng Jiangnv and asked with concern: “Sister, my face is pale and my head is covered with yellow sweat. Could it be that I am sick?” Meng Jiangnv replied: “There is nothing wrong with me.
It’s just that my baggage is too heavy and I can’t carry it.” It’s so strenuous.” The old woman said with a smile, “This lunch box is easy to carry on your back.” Meng Jiangnu gave it a try, and it turned out to be much easier. She carried the bag on her back and hurried on, feeling really grateful to the old woman.
When Meng Jiangnu walked away, the old man complained to the old woman: “You are so wicked, you broke up a loving couple alive. Originally, Wan Xiliang’s bones were infiltrated by Meng Jiangnu’s tears, and he could become a human being. Now he is carrying it on his back, and the tears are not leaking. What? Can come back alive.”
The old lady pursed her lips and said: “Our land-based parents-in-law’s duty is to take care of the wandering souls and wild ghosts and return them to the world as soon as possible. People in the world will follow others’ example and follow suit. If there is any mistake, it will not be straightened out.”
“The father-in-law of the land said: “Being a god or a ghost, you must have the virtue of living a good life. Meng Jiangnu is the most pitiful woman in the world. Don’t you be afraid of losing her?”
The two old men quarreled endlessly, and Tu Tu Granny was so angry that she babbled. She pulled out a hosta on her head and drew a deep ditch. The land under Tu Tu Granny’s feet slowly floated away until she reached the sea, which is now the island of Taiwan.
From then on, the father-in-law of the land was worshiped in land halls on the mainland. The Tutu Temple in Taiwan only serves Tutu Mother-in-Law.
