According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a single guy named Ma Ping in Mawangzhuang. Because his parents died young and he had no brothers and sisters, he couldn't see himself. He just got a long-term job from the king of the village. Before the Spring Festival this year, the rich man had a holiday as usual, and all the other long-term workers went home for the New Year. Only Ma Ping, who is not used to living alone, still lives in a rich family. On the morning of New Year's Day, when Ma Ping opened the door, he suddenly saw a phoenix fly away from the dunghill in front of the door. He immediately thought: I heard others say that the phoenix will not be a treasure land. There must be something precious on the dunghill today. Why don't I look for it? After making up his mind, he said to the rich man after breakfast, "Mr. W, can I dump the manure in front of the door today?" The rich man wanted to work long hours and agreed. Ma Ping went to dump the manure and was busy until evening. No treasure appeared. When I was disappointed, I suddenly heard someone shouting for dinner. Ma Ping never gave up and finally got it. This time he didn't want to dig a finger-sized money hole. Ma Ping was a little frustrated and thought, I've been tired all day just to see this little thing. It's not worth it, but he can't bear to throw it away. After returning to the house, he tied the money to his chest with a rope and buttoned his nose.
One day, Ma Ping picked two baskets of wheat and went to the river to wash it. As soon as he bent down, he saw that the river was falling heavily. He took a few more steps and the water fell again. At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had heard someone say that this kind of thing was to avoid water droplets and could go down to the bottom of the river. People won't drown, so they can ask the dragon king for something. Thinking of this, I think that with this treasure, my future life may not be a problem, so I still don't want to do long-term work, so as not to work for the rich man and be exploited and oppressed by him. A few days after he came back, he made an excuse to say that someone had brought a message. His aunt was seriously ill and wanted to visit at once. After the rich man agreed, Ma Ping left. When he came to the river for the second time, he stirred the river with water drops for a while. The sleeping dragon king and the frightened soldier crab were suddenly awakened by the turbulence, and the dragon king was furious. He immediately sent toad essence to ask. Toad essence surfaced, saw a young man, turned into an old man and asked him, "Young man, what do you want?" Ma Ping replied, "What do you think I want alone?" Toad essence said, "When we get to the bottom of the sea, we need the cat on the table in front of the Dragon King!" " "Then he took Ma Ping to the Crystal Palace and met the Dragon King. The dragon king asked him why he went down to the bottom of the sea. Ma Ping just said, "I want something from the king." When the Dragon King asked him about his life, he felt sorry for himself. At that time, he asked toad essence to take Ma Ping to the warehouse where gold, silver and jewels were stored, and told him to take whatever he wanted. But Ma Ping told the Dragon King that he didn't want these things. The dragon king asked him what he wanted. The young man remembered the old man's words and pointed to the table and said, "I want this flower cat." Although the Dragon King was a little reluctant, he was reluctant to let the young man go, thinking that he was single because of his bad karma. Just out of the water, the flower cat suddenly jumped out of Ma Ping's arms and immediately turned into a beautiful girl. After a pause, the girl smiled at Ma Ping: "Let's go home! The young man replied shyly, "Where do I have a home?" "The girl said," come on, I'll arrange a home for you! ""The girl walked ahead and soon came to a village. After they stood still, the girl took off the golden hairpin on her head and walked to the front of a pawnshop in the village. The boss saw a girl and asked her what it was. The girl gave Jin Chai to the boss. As soon as the boss saw that it was under the sea, he asked her how much it was. The girl said, "I just want a beautiful house." The boss happened to have a new house, so he told the girl, "Go and live!" "The husband and wife then moved in. The girl pawned some jewels and bought many household necessities. A few days later, Ma Ping was a little sad and worried about when the jewelry would be finished. What hope was there to live in the future? The girl saw his heart and told him, "Don't be afraid, you will go to the market to sell cloth tomorrow!" " "Ma Ping wondered: Where can I sell cloth? The girl smiled and said, "Go to sleep, and you will know tomorrow." The next morning, Ma Ping got up and saw dozens of feet of brand-new cloth piled up in the room. He was so happy that he took a roll of cloth on his back and sold it in the collection. When people saw that he had such good cloth, they gathered around him and sold it out in a short time. Since then, his family life has relied on, and he no longer has to worry.
A few days later, Ma Ping was selling cloth in a distribution center. Suddenly, an old man in his fifties bought some feet and asked the young man how many were left in the room. Ma Ping asked, "How much do you want?" The old man replied, "How much do you want?" Ma Ping said, "You wait for me here tomorrow and bring everything." After returning home, he didn't tell his wife. In the evening, he pretended to be asleep and saw his wife tiptoe into the hall. When she shook, she immediately turned into a white and fat silkworm, spitting colorful silk from her mouth. Ma Ping was startled at that time, and suddenly rang the washbasin next to her, with a clash, and woke up Aunt Silkworm who was weaving, crying and recovering her wife's appearance. The young man was too shocked to speak. I won't hide it any more, but you must remember not to tell anyone. If you don't obey, it's too late to regret it later. "Ma Ping trembling said," don't worry, I won't tell anyone. "The next day, Ma Ping went to the market to sell cloth, and soon the old man came. After buying the cloth, he asked Ma Ping if he had it at home. Ma Ping replied, "Besides, it can only wait until tomorrow." The old man asked, "If so, why wait until tomorrow?" Ma Ping prevaricated. The boy sold it again. The old man bought it anyway. After a few days, Ma Ping and the old man got to know each other. On this day, the old man invited the young man to have a drink. The old man left and right, and Ma Ping was drunk. Under the old man's questioning, the young man vaguely told the true appearance of the silkworm aunt. It turns out that this old man is a dick. Not long ago, he suddenly met Gu Silkworm. Seeing that she was young and beautiful, he had a bad intention for a while and asked Gu Silkworm to be his wife. Gu Silkworm would rather die than follow, so the two sides fought. The ancient silkworm gradually lost some support and was forced into the sea by the rooster. Fortunately, she was rescued by the Dragon King and was recognized as her adopted daughter. Now the rooster is very happy to know the whereabouts of the silkworm aunt. That night, the rooster sneaked into Ma Ping's house. When Gu Silkworm spun silk, he grabbed her clothes and threw them outside the door. The silkworm is no longer a human being, but the rooster pecks at the silkworm's eyes as soon as it comes up. Gu Silkworm is spinning silk, and she is unprepared. Suddenly, she was pecked in the eye and they fought. The silkworm gradually became overwhelmed. Suddenly, she spit out a thread and tied it to the window lattice. She forced herself to jump out of the house. Seeing a red rooster jumping out of the room, he picked up a rope and beat the rooster hard. The cock suddenly spit out a fire and the young man fainted. It fought with Aunt Silkworm again. At this time, Ma Ping gradually woke up. It suddenly occurred to him to avoid water droplets and immediately climbed into the house with difficulty. After getting the treasure, he turned to the outside and struggled against the rooster. He saw a golden light and immediately burned the rooster to death. Ma Ping saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief. He hurried back to the house, found Aunt Silkworm's clothes and waited for her to put them on. But Aunt Silkworm is too tired to become a human being. When Ma Ping was sad, he saw the Dragon King coming with his entourage. He said sternly to the young man, "Ma Ping, you broke your word after drinking and told the truth, which seriously injured Aunt Silkworm. Even if we cure her, she won't tell you again. " Say and take another look at Gu Silkworm. She completely fainted and was dying. Out of pity for his adopted daughter, the Dragon King not only quickly brought her back to the Crystal Palace for treatment, but also specially set up a stone tablet in the local area, named "Inverted Dragon Tablet". As for Ma Ping, after being reprimanded by the Dragon King, he was ashamed and ashamed, and fell asleep on the ground. When he woke up, it was already dawn, and there was nothing in front of him except a stone tablet. When he looked carefully, there was a portrait of a silkworm on it, and he couldn't help crying. He really regrets telling the secret, but what can he do at this time? I have to live my own hard life again.
