Looking around to no avail, one day and found a thousand plum mountain, see the plum tree is still there, but no trace of people, can not help but feel a thousand, weeping.4 helpless under the Su Yuntian want to find the God of the mountains to point out the way, after a few setbacks to find the thatched cottage, but see the Chai Zhang palsy panicked and waved his hands: "not also, not also! In the following and the Prince like, although there is the talent of the heaven and earth, but not the emperor's life." Door hidden, inside empty, Su cloud sky in the doorway wandering for a long time. At this time a woodcutter carrying a load of firewood through, Su Yuntian rushed forward to inquire. The woodcutter looked him up and down as if he had heard a strange story: "This is a small residence for people in the mountains, for people passing by to rest. I have been here for twenty years, and I have never heard of any mountain god living here." Su Yuntian had no choice but to return home, but from then on it was as if he had lost his soul, and couldn't take any interest in anything. After some days, Su Hai told him that a group of jugglers had come to the street, and the performance was so wonderful that he dragged him along to see them. The grand finale of the show was the planting of melons, everyone was amazed at the watermelons that grew in a few moments and praised them. Su Yuntian a look at the sudden spirit, after the show was over, but also followed the juggling class, and insisted on asking them to teach the method of planting the melon that is born. The master of the class was pestered by the inability to see the incident after two years, Liu Silkworms know that they have been tricked, but there is a confession of guilt in the hands of Li Heng, at the same time he could not say that the woman's lower body in the end is who, but also had to admit their own bad luck. Yang Liu'er also do not care about the past, still and Li Heng up life, and then no other changes, enjoy all the days of life. Su Yuntian rewarded a lot of silver, which told him, in fact, this is nothing, just some tricks. The so-called seed melon that is born is nothing more than drilling a small hole in the egg, remove the white storage yellow, the watermelon seeds with the official column of licorice each two Hangman reached out to unbuckle his belt and put himself down. Sitting in front of the float, began to learn to spin cotton like a flower spinning lady. Money research powder mix still installed in the eggshell, seal its mouth buried damp wall, do not let it dry. When used and then get loose soil, planted melon seeds, spray water can grow. Asked about the wall light method, the master smiled: "This is even simpler. As long as beforehand in the wall drilling a green bean-sized hole, the hole put a camphor, and then draw a lamp outside, with a match on the point." After listening to the words of the class master, Su Yuntian woke up as if in a dream, it turned out that he had fallen into a trap at the beginning, and all the previous things were just a group of liars carefully laid the bureau. I did not expect Mu Ning so pure and beautiful, but is also a pawn inside the scam. Mother again open Su Yuntian and rice line gold marriage, Su Yuntian also no longer opposed. The wedding was organized very grand, such as sending friends and relatives back to the bridal chamber, Su Yuntian already have a few drunkenness, the bride is still covered with a cover sitting at the head of the bed. After lifting the cover Su Yuntian was so shocked that he sat on his butt on the ground: "How are you!" Under the cover of the pair of big eyes, once made Su Yuntian longing for, is not Mu Ning. Mu Ning hurriedly got up to help Su Yuntian: "So it's you, why are you so surprised?" Su Yuntian pointed at Mu Ning, hand straight shivering: "You this liar, how to mix again to the Mu House, you dare really not small!" Mu Ning said, "Husband you are drunk. I was originally born in the Mu family, the maiden name a Ning word, that day with husband had a side in the thousand plum mountain, have you forgotten? I told you called Mu Ning's ...... "At this time Su Yuntian just remembered, the day the Lu family of the woman and walked the array, look at the sun is about to set, also walked there are ten miles of road, the front is still looking out of sight of the village, blocking the road is a piece of the big brightly shaking bay, the old mother called the big hitch to put down her said: "kindly! The young man, you send me home, later from the bay out of what, you take, that is my gift to you." As soon as she had finished speaking, the old mother jumped into the bay and disappeared into the water. Indeed, the voice is different, seems to be more delicate, the original is simply fake. Thinking of this he could not help but hold Mu Ning's hand tightly: "That false mountain god has a sentence is really not wrong, we are heaven-sent good fortune." Mu Ning a little puzzled: "husband you really drunk, where what mountain god?" Epilogue two years later, Su Zhengnan formally handed over the store with Su Yuntian management, they are happy with the winter of the year, the protection of the field of a few Zhuang Ding caught a steal grain from the foreigners, the man spent tied up and brought to see the owner of the property, asked the owner of the property, "how to teach him a lesson?" The rich man asked, "How many pounds of grain did he steal?" The leader of the Zhuang Ding replied, "He used a pair of pants and stole ten pounds of sorghum." The rich man said, "Ten plus ten equals ten, so let Wang Dan whip him ten times. However, first of all, those sorghum hanging on his neck parade, and then brought to the field to be whipped, beat him a flesh, to the poor people to make an example of a hundred, to see who in the future still dare to steal food to me here!" Sun, nourishing the heavenly life. Under Su Yuntian's careful management, business is also rising steadily, bigger and bigger. The branch opened to several provinces. Once a news came from the capital city that a group posing as a fairy and soliciting for money had been busted by the government, confessing many victims, among which was Su Yuntian's name. When Su Yuntian heard this news, he did not comment on it, and looked at Mu Ning coaxing his son in the courtyard, with a soft smile in his eyes.
