During the Jingde period of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a scholar in Longde Mansion on Hedong Road, whose surname was Zhou Mingrun, who came from the Xinglin family. His parents died young, and the backyard unfortunately caught fire. The house was burned down and no tiles were left. Zhou Run was alone and helpless, so in order to make a living, he

He had no choice but to ring bells and hold flags, travel around to practice medicine, trek across rivers and lakes, and sleep in the wilderness in the wild, which was extremely difficult.

Zhou Run was an upright man who loved to help others. Although he was poor, he practiced medicine and cured diseases with sincerity and sincerity in saving people. He had no deceitful behavior and did not do anything to gain money in a dishonest manner.

Zhou Run heard that malaria was rampant on the Yongxing Military Road and there were many patients, so he carried a medicine box and carried a flag. One afternoon, when he was walking to Shexian County and crossing Qinglong Mountain, he suddenly heard the howling of wild beasts. He followed the sound and saw an evil wolf.

Chasing a white rabbit, the wolf knocked the rabbit down in an instant, and the rabbit was about to die in the wolf's mouth! When Zhou Run saw this, he couldn't bear to witness it, so he stood up resolutely, abandoned his banner, quickly stepped forward, quickly moved a large stone, and threw it at the wolf.

Hitting the wolf in the crotch, the wolf howled miserably and let go, turning around and glaring at Zhou Run. Zhou Run hit it with a stone again. The wolf dodged but missed. The wolf bared its teeth and claws and tried to pounce on Zhou Run. Zhou Run quickly swept it with a medical flag and raised his hand from his wrist.

The bell jingled, and the wolf didn't know what to do with it, so he ran away in fear.

Seeing that the wolf was injured and running away, Zhou Run leaned over and looked at the white rabbit again. He saw that the rabbit's neck was injured and the blood flow was not stopping. He quickly took medicine from the medicine box to apply it and tied it with a bandage. After a moment, the rabbit slowed down and tried to jump. He looked back at Zhou Run.

, nodded as if to express thanks, then jumped into the grass and passed away.

When Zhou Run arrived at Longwei Village at the foot of the mountain, more than half of the people in the village were suffering from malaria. There was an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment, and he was overwhelmed. The villagers built a clinic for Zhou Run.

Love. Time flies, and three years have passed without realizing it. Zhou Run has a little savings. Every time he goes out to practice medicine, he does not dare to leave his savings in the clinic. He carries it with him in the medicine box to prevent thieves from stealing it.

As winter turned to spring, one morning, villager Wei Qiu rushed to the clinic to inform him that there was a patient suffering from dysentery in the village who had returned from Longshou Village behind the mountain last night and could not come to see a doctor. He asked Zhou Run to go to the clinic for diagnosis and treatment. Zhou Run came here to inform him.

He happily agreed. After breakfast, Zhou Run carried a medicine box and a medicine shovel, intending to climb Qinglong Mountain to Longshou Village to practice medicine and collect medicinal materials along the way. When he reached the top of the mountain, a masked man suddenly jumped out of the grass, holding a steel knife and shouted loudly.

He said: "Leave the passing money and let you pass!" Zhou Run was shocked and found out that he had encountered a robber. He took a few steps back and begged: "I am a poor man who makes a living by practicing medicine and has no money. Please spare me."

The robber sneered and said: "Hey! Don't be nagging. I know you have some silver with you. Take it out quickly! Otherwise, you will leave your life behind!" After saying this, he waved his knife forward. Zhou Run hated evil so much that he was willing to hand it over.

Yinliang wanted to meet him with a medicine shovel and fight to the death with the robber. At this time, another robber came out from behind and hit Zhou Run on the head with a stick in his hand. Zhou Run was caught off guard and was hit. His eyes were black and his hair was black.

Dizzy, fell to the ground!

About half an hour later, Zhou Run woke up. He still had a headache and a swollen brain. He felt a swelling on the back of his head. He saw that the lid of the medicine box was open, and there was no trace of more than 20 taels of silver in the medicine box. He took medicine and applied it to the wound, bandaged it himself, and got up.

, packed the medicine box, picked it up, held the medicine shovel in his hand, sighed, and saw that it was still early, so he reluctantly went down the mountain and headed towards Longshou Village.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, Zhou Run saw a woman riding a horse opposite, coming gracefully. When he got closer, he saw her veiled with a gauze scarf, a bamboo hat on her head, white clothes and white trousers, tightly tied with a silk ribbon, and carrying a sword behind her. The woman seemed familiar, so she got off her horse and greeted her with greetings.

He asked, "Are you Mr. Zhou's wife?" Zhou Run returned the courtesy and nodded in response. The woman saw that Zhou Run was injured and had a bandage on his head. She was surprised and asked, "You are so embarrassed, do you think you are a victim?" Zhou Run did not recognize this woman.

However, the woman was concerned and asked, so she had to answer. Zhou Runshi said: "Just now, I encountered a strong man who robbed me of money and was injured by him. That's why I made the lady laugh." The woman asked again: "Who robbed you? Please tell me, I

I would like to help you find him." Zhou Run described in detail the story of how he was robbed. After hearing this, the woman confirmed, "The person who robbed you must be an acquaintance. If you are not familiar with him, how can you say, 'I know that you have a body with two pieces of silver.'

"What?" Zhou Run was suddenly surprised, raised his hands and asked, "Even so, one thief is covering his face, and another thief is attacking me from behind, and I haven't seen his face, how can I find him?" The woman pointed to the wine flag in the distance and said:

"Just now, my little girl was dining in a hotel, and she saw two people sneaking into the store, ordering good wine and delicious food, and eating them like crazy. Could it be that they are these two robbers? Please follow my little girl into the store and get to know them."

The woman led the horse, and Zhou Run followed. He thought to himself: I don't know this woman, so why can she help me? Then he asked, "Miss, please help me. May I ask what your name is? I can thank you in the future." The woman replied: "My surname is Tu, and my given name is Xiaojuan. I haven't helped you collect any money, so why should I thank you?"

When I arrived at the hotel, I saw that there were few customers in the store. The woman stopped and said, "I saw these two people drinking inside. You can sneak a peek from the window. If you recognize them, I will have my own arrangements." Zhou Run followed Tu Xiaojuan's words and went to the window. When I went to the store, I peeked into the store and saw two people inside, drinking heavily. I looked closely and was shocked. One of them was Wei Qiu! Zhou Runyu said that it was Wei Qiu who planned this disaster!

Xiaojuan's guess was correct. Wei Qiu was a gangster from Longwei Village, an idle man. He happened to see Zhou Run saving money in the medicine box, so he became malicious and planned with his cousin Liu Dong from a distant village to rob him. He lied about Longwei Village. There was a patient in the first village seeking medical treatment, so he tricked Zhou Run into going there. Liu Dong hid in the grass on the top of the mountain and waited for him. He followed Zhou Run to the top of the mountain, but was intercepted by Liu Dong. Taking advantage of Zhou Run's unpreparedness, he hit him with a stick from behind. When Run was unconscious, the two thieves took the medicine box and silver and fled into the hotel at the foot of the mountain to drink heavily.

Xiaojuance said: "I saw a package on the wine table. Your lost silver must be in the package. I will go into the house and get it quickly. The two thieves will chase me outside the store. I will not be late to deal with the two thieves. Remember, you To guard the mount, you can watch from one side."

Xiaojuan entered the store, and when the two thieves were unprepared and drunk, she quickly took the package and rushed out of the house. When the two thieves saw it, they were startled and refused to let it go. They chased them out with weapons. Liu Dong shouted: "Where are you from?" Witch? How dare you act! Put down the package and you will not die!" Xiaojuan turned around and scolded: "The ill-gotten wealth should be robbed and returned to the original owner. Why do you do this?" The two thieves were furious. Liu Dong waved his knife and Wei Qiu swung his stick. They came straight to kill, Zhou Run was horrified when he saw it, fearing that Xiaojuan would be in trouble, but Xiaojuan showed no fear. Seeing the two thieves coming with ferocious force, she stepped back a few steps, the scabbard behind her back suddenly rang, and the sword jumped out more than ten feet high, Xiaojuan Juan caught it, drew the sword in her hand, carried the bag in her left hand, and held the sword in her right hand. She swung her sword to meet it, slashing left and right, as fast as lightning. With just one look, Wei Qiu's wooden stick was broken into two pieces, and Liu Dong's steel knife was broken! Two The thief was frightened and saw that the situation was not good. He abandoned his weapon and tried to escape. Xiaojuan jumped up and kicked Wei Qiu with her left foot. She kicked Liu Dong with her right foot. The two thieves fell to the ground. Xiaojuan floated to the ground with her sword pointed at her throat. He shouted: "Don't run away!"

The two thieves knelt down and begged for mercy. They kowtowed like a chicken pecking at broken rice and begged: "Xia Gu, please have mercy on me. I will never dare to do it again next time. Spare my life, spare my life." Xiaojuan threw the package to Zhou Run and untied her eyes. It was a lot of money. Zhou Run was overjoyed when he saw that he had recovered what he had lost. Xiaojuan lectured the thief: "I will spare the lives of these dogs for the time being, but if they do it again next time, I will definitely kill them! Go back to the shop, pay for the meal, and get out!" "The two thieves held their heads and retreated.

Xiaojuan smiled and said to Zhou Run: "I wanted to go to Longwei Village to ask you to diagnose my father's pulse, but unexpectedly we met on the way. Please come to my humble residence to diagnose my father's pulse." Zhou Run happily agreed. Xiaojuan bought a bag at the hotel. Mount, please mount Zhou Run.

Zhou Run packed up, mounted his horse, and rode with Xiao Juan. Zhou Run looked sideways, and through the veil, he saw Xiao Juan's willow eyebrows, almond eyes, pink face and peach cheeks. She really looked like the reincarnation of Xi Shi, and he couldn't help but fall in love with her. Along the way, While walking and talking, Xiaojuan spoke elegantly, and Zhou Run became more respectful and affectionate to her. She also felt that the swelling on the back of her head was getting smaller and no longer painful, so she took off the bandage and threw it on the ground.

The two of them had traveled about twenty miles when they saw a small stream with gurgling water. They drove their horses across the stream and walked along the stream. Suddenly they came across a peach blossom forest with hundreds of steps between the banks. There were no stray trees in the middle, the grass was delicious and the fallen flowers were colorful. When the forest ends and the water source comes, they see a big mountain with a big cave. The two people dismount their horses and lead the horses into the cave. It is very dark at first. After walking for dozens of steps, it suddenly becomes bright. The spring is bright. The land is flat and the flowers are blooming. They see a large courtyard. The houses in the courtyard are like-looking, with carved beams and painted columns, high courtyard walls, towering gates, a river outside the walls flowing through the backyard, traffic outside the courtyard, multiple roads on the river, and long bridges lying on the waves. It is really a fairyland!

When she arrived at the courtyard gate, Xiaojuan dismounted and knocked on the door. The door opened and a servant greeted her, shouting inside: "Miss, here comes the distinguished guest!" Upon hearing this, an old man with white hair and gray beard stepped out of the hall to greet him, saluted and said: "Your distinguished guest has arrived!"

I'm sorry that I can't welcome you from far away, but I'm glad to see you." Zhou Run returned the courtesy and said, "I am a gentleman, so I don't want to call you an honored guest, so why should I bother my elders to come out to greet you? I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." The two sides exchanged a few words, and Zhou Run said

He was invited into the hall. The guests and hosts were seated. Zhou Run held up his hands and asked, "I heard that the elder is slightly ill. I wonder what's wrong with you?" The old man said, "Your distinguished guest has come from a long way. He should bathe and change clothes first, then wash off the dust and catch the wind, and then talk.

It won't be too late." Then he ordered his servants to take Zhou Run to bathe and quickly prepare a banquet for him.

After Zhou Run took a bath, he changed his clothes and returned to the hall with a new look. He saw that the banquet was prepared, and the table was filled with delicacies from mountains and seas, wine and delicacies. Zhou Run had never seen anything like this in his life, and he was salivating. The guests and hosts took their seats, raised their glasses and drank freely. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhou Run

Run said: "The younger generation has not yet diagnosed the elder's pulse, so I feel ashamed to be treated so well." The old man laughed and said: "To tell you the truth, I am fine. I invite the doctor here to express my gratitude." Zhou Run was puzzled.

, confused and said: "I was robbed just now, thanks to the lady for saving me, I haven't thanked you yet, how can I be thanked?" The old man said: "Three years ago, in Qinglong Mountain, an old and decayed little girl was chased by a wolf, thanks to the doctor's intervention

We saved each other from the disaster of death, can you remember?" Then he clapped his hands and called out, "Daughter, why don't you come out to thank me?" He saw a beautiful woman coming out of the inner room, walking slenderly, and stepped forward to give a big gift and said, "Thank you.

Thank you for your kindness in saving my life." Zhou Run looked at it and saw that it was Tu Xiaojuan! He suddenly recalled the incident of driving away the wolf to save the rabbit, and exclaimed: "Could it be that Miss is the white rabbit that was in trouble back then!" The Miss replied: "Of course,

When I was not yet accomplished in cultivation, I went out to play. Unfortunately, I was attacked by a wolf and was bitten on the neck. I almost died from the wolf's mouth. Fortunately, you rescued me in time and escaped. Can you remember it? You bandaged my little girl's wound. Please look at my little girl's neck.

The scar." Zhou Run then untied his collar and looked at it, and there was indeed a scar on Xiaojuan's neck!

After the banquet, it was getting late. Zhou Run was already very drunk, so he was arranged to stay in the dormitory for the night. The fragrance in the dormitory was refreshing and refreshing, with carved incense couch and bright bedding. Zhou Run slept soundly until dawn. After washing and eating, he saw an old woman entering the room and talking to herself.

She was Xiaojuan's aunt. After a few words of conversation, she got to the point and said, "In order to repay the kindness of the doctor for saving my life, my brother is willing to marry Xiaojuan to you as your wife. Xiaojuan is also willing to do the same. My brother and Xiaojuan are embarrassed to open their mouths."

, would you like to ask me to be your matchmaker?" Although Zhou Run knew that Xiaojuan was a different kind of woman, a member of the rabbit tribe, he had already fallen in love with her and couldn't get her, so he happily agreed.

On an auspicious day, Zhou Run and Tu Xiaojuan went to the church to get married. Tu's residence was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, drums and music were playing, and relatives and friends gathered together to toast to celebrate. It was very lively.

After the honeymoon, although Zhou Run opened his mouth after eating and opened his hands after getting clothes, he was still in a bad mood. One day, he stared blankly at the medicine box and thought: Although this is happy, it is not a long-term solution. When will the idle life end? It is better to persist.

Banan practiced medicine happily. Xiaojuan saw through his thoughts and said to him: "I see that my husband has been living in his father-in-law's house for a long time. What do you think? Just say it." Zhou Run said frankly: "I am a doctor, and I should save lives and heal the wounded for the people.

, I am willing to hang the pot outside the hut and do my best for the people." Xiaojuan was deeply moved and said: "My husband is so kind, I am willing to follow you."

Tu Mansion could not retain him, so his father-in-law gave Zhou Run a thousand taels of silver to build a clinic. Zhou Run and Xiaojuan bid farewell to Tu Mansion and resumed their medical practice. A grand clinic was built in Qinglong Mountain, including outpatient clinics, acupuncture, wards, pharmacies and cashiers.
