He was handsome and talented, and the two of them admired each other.Ding Sheng privately told his mother to propose marriage to the Zhao family.But Zhao Wang wanted his daughter to find a wealthy family, so he did not agree to the marriage.

Not long after, Zhao Wang joined the White Lotus Sect.After Xu Hongru's rebellion, the whole family became thieves.Xiao Er knows books and is good at understanding, and he can understand the spells of paper-cutting, making horses, and turning beans into soldiers at first sight.There were six little girls learning arts from Xu Hongru, and only Xiaoer was the best, so she quickly learned Xu's spells.Zhao Wang was also reused because of his daughter's good martial arts skills. At this time, Ding Sheng was eighteen years old, and he was selected as a scholar in the county. He never got married, because he couldn't forget Xiao Er in his heart.One day, he suddenly escaped from his home and joined Xu Hongru's subordinates.Xiao Er was very happy to see him, and he was very kind to Ding Sheng.Xiao Er is Xu's senior apprentice, in charge of military affairs in Xu Department, busy day and night, even his own parents are not often seen, but he and Ding Sheng talk together every night, and when they talk, they send all the servants away. more days.Once, Ding Sheng said to her in private: Do you know why I came here?Xiao Er replied: I don't know!Ding Sheng said: I am not trying to get ahead.The reason why I came is really for you.The White Lotus Sect is originally a heretical side door, which is useless and can only bring about its own destruction.You are a smart person, don't you understand this truth?If you can come with me, you will live up to my desire to find you.After hearing this, Xiao Er pondered for a while sadly, feeling like waking up from a dream.She said to Ding Sheng: We left behind my parents' backs because it was unrighteous, let's go and tell them!So the two went to Zhao Wang and his wife and explained their interests to them.But Zhao Wang didn't realize it, and said: My master is a man of God, and he can never make mistakes!Knowing that he couldn't persuade him any more, Xiao Er braided her hair into a small bun, took out two paper kites, and each rode one with Ding Sheng.The kites slowly spread their wings and flew away like lovebirds.At dawn, when they came to the border of Laiwu, Xiao Er touched the kite's neck with his hand, and they both hit the ground.They took the kite and rode two donkeys instead, and trotted all the way to the mountains, pretending they were here to take refuge, and rented a house to live in.

When the two fled, because they were in a hurry, they didn't bring much clothes, and they didn't have any firewood or rice.Ding Sheng was very worried and asked his neighbors to borrow it, but no one was willing to borrow it.However, Xiao Er doesn't look sad and just sells hairpins, earrings and other jewelry to get by.The two sit quietly behind closed doors, guess lantern riddles with each other, recite the books they have learned in the past, and use the bet to win or lose.Whoever loses will be hit on the wrist with two fingers by the opponent. There is a man named Weng in the west neighbor where they live, he is a green forest hero.One day when he came back from hunting, Xiao Er saw him and said to Ding Sheng: This man is very rich, what are we worried about?Lend him a thousand taels of silver temporarily for use. I don't know if he will borrow it or not?Ding Sheng thought it was difficult.Xiaoer said: I want him to voluntarily hand over the money!She cut out a paper judge, put it on the ground, covered it with a chicken coop, then pulled Ding Sheng to bed, placed some wine she had saved, and took out the "Book of Rites" to enforce the wine order.Randomly talk about which volume, page, and line are in the book, and then flip through the book for review.If this line is next to the word food, water or unitary, drink a glass of wine; if it is part of the word wine, drink double.Xiao Er happened to find the drinker, so Ding Sheng filled a big cup for Xiao Er to drink.Xiao Er prayed and said: If I can borrow money, you will have the drinking department.When Ding Sheng flipped through the book, he got a turtle.Xiaoer laughed and said: It's done!Pour the wine and bring it to Ding Sheng.Ding Sheng refused to accept it.Xiaoer said: You are an aquarium, you should drink like a turtle.While they were making noise with each other, they suddenly heard the sound of rattling in the chicken coop.Xiao Er said: Here we come!When he opened the coop, he saw a bag full of silver.Ding Sheng was both surprised and delighted.

Later, a woman from the Weng family came to visit with her child in her arms, and secretly said: My master just came back from the outside and sat down after lighting the lamp, when he saw a crack in the ground, bottomless.A judge came out of the crack and said: I am an official of the underworld.The emperor of Mount Tai summoned Yincao officials to create a list of wicked people. He needed a thousand silver lamps, and each used ten taels of silver.If you donate a hundred racks, your evil deeds will be eliminated.My master was so frightened that he burned incense and kowtowed, and donated one thousand taels of silver. Only then did the judge go back, and the seams on the ground were closed.When the Ding couple heard this, they deliberately pretended to be very surprised.

Since then, the Ding couple gradually bought cattle and horses, hired maids and servants, and built a new house by themselves.A group of scoundrels from this village saw that they were getting rich all of a sudden, so they gathered a group of bad guys, jumped over the wall and entered Ding's house to rob.The Ding couple woke up from their dream and lit the Jian [ㄐㄧㄢ; perennial herb] grass to take a photo, and the house was full of thieves.Two thieves grabbed Ding Sheng, and one thieves reached into Xiao Er's arms.Xiao Er stood up naked, pointed with his hand and said: Don't move!do not move!I saw the thirteen thieves sticking out their tongues, dumbfounded and unable to move.Then Xiao Er put on his clothes and got out of bed, called all the family members to come, tied up the thieves one by one, and forced them to confess their crimes.Xiao Er then blamed the thief and said: We came here from afar to seek refuge, and we hope that everyone can help each other, why are you so unkind and unrighteous!Everyone has a time when they are rich and poor. If life is difficult, you may as well say it clearly. Am I the kind of miser who regards money as his life?According to your behavior of jackals, they should all be killed, but I can't bear it.Let me let you go for now, if you commit the crime again in the future, you will definitely be killed!The thieves kowtowed and left.

Xiao Er and Ding Sheng lived here for a short time, when Xu Hongru was arrested by the government, Zhao Wang and his wife were also killed.Ding Sheng helped Xiao Er bring money to the government to redeem his elder brother Zhao Changchun's child.The child was only three years old at the time. Ding Sheng raised him as his own son, changed his surname to Ding, and named him Ding Chengyou.As a result, the people in this village gradually knew that the Ding family was the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.This year was plagued by locusts, Xiao Er cut hundreds of paper kites and put them in her field, so scared that the locusts did not dare to fly into her field, thus avoiding a disaster.Everyone in the village hated them and reported to the government that they were the remnants of Xu Hongru's party.Seeing that the Ding family was very rich, the government wanted to blackmail them, so they arrested Ding Sheng.Ding Sheng bribed the county magistrate heavily with money, so that the disaster was avoided.Xiao Er said: We don't know how to get our money, so we can spread it out.But the hearts of the people here are like snakes and scorpions, and they cannot live long.Therefore, they sold their property at a low price and moved to the west of Yidu.

Then it rained heavily, and there was enough rain within five miles.People feel her magic even more.Xiaoer never covers her face when she goes out, and everyone in the village recognizes her.Some teenagers got together and talked about her beauty, but when they saw her, they were all in awe, and no one dared to look up at her.Every autumn, the boys in the village can't do heavy work, so the second child will give the children money and ask them to pick wild vegetables, and a building will be built in twenty years.Everyone in the village laughed at her.But then there was a famine in Shandong, and people were so hungry that they ate people.At this time, Xiaoer took out wild vegetables and mixed them with grain for people to eat. People in the neighboring villages were saved, and no one went to other places to escape the famine.

Yi Shi's comment: What Xiao Er did was probably given to her by God, and it cannot be done by human power.But if Ding Sheng's words hadn't awakened the dreamer, the two of them would have been lying in the pile of dead people long ago.From this point of view, there should not be few people in the world who have extraordinary talents and die because of going astray.How do you know that among the six classmates who studied magic with Xu Hongru at that time, there was no one as capable as Xiaoer?It's a pity they didn't meet Ding Sheng. 【original】 Zhao Wang, Tengyi, a husband and wife worshiping Buddha, don't care about meat and blood, and there are good people in the village.Home called Xiaoyou.One girl and the second child are extremely intelligent and beautiful, and Zhao Zhen loves them.At the age of six, the envoy and his elder brother Changchun studied under the same teacher, and he was familiar with the Five Classics after five years.The classmate Ding Sheng, whose style name is Zimo, is three years older than the girl, has a good literary talent and loves each other.I privately told my mother to propose to Mrs. Zhao.Zhao Qi used the female character as everyone, so Fu Xu.Not long after, Zhao was confused by the White Lotus Sect; Xu Hongru rebelled, and the family became a thief.Xiaoer knows books and is good at explaining.
