The legend about white orchids

White orchids in Mount Emei

According to legend, a long time ago, there lived a poor young man named Li at the foot of Mount Emei. He made a living by picking up dog excrement. He was ugly, so people called him Li Gouer. When Gou'er grew up to seventeen or eighteen years old, he saw many young men in the village getting married and starting families. He felt very envious and hoped that one day he would be like that.

One year, Li Gouer heard that many young people in the village had made a fortune by going to the mountains to collect orchids and sell them. He felt itchy and wanted to go to the mountains to collect orchids and sell them, so that he could save up enough money to marry and start a family.

One day, Li Gouer followed the villagers into the mountains to pick orchid grass. He failed to pick any orchid grass, but got separated alone. He came to the foot of a cliff, hungry and thirsty, and sat down leaning against the rock wall. He thought of his miserable fate and felt so angry that he couldn't help but punch the rock wall with his fist. Unexpectedly, with a "squeak" sound, the rock wall suddenly disappeared, and only the flowing clouds were seen rolling, and then spread, and in an instant, a magical world appeared. . Li Gou'er looked up and saw that there were the sun, moon and stars in the sky, plants, flowers and birds on the ground, and a lawn nearby. The lawn was full of orchids he wanted to pick. These orchids were as green as dye, with all kinds of orchids blooming, exuding... The fragrance is breathtaking.

Li Gouer was very happy, thinking how much money these orchid grasses would sell for after being collected. I stepped into the lawn in a few steps and saw an orchid plant blooming with a snow-white orchid. The petals were like jade, and the stamens were several tongues and sparkling. He was so happy that he bent down to pull it out. Suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder. He looked up and saw an old woman in blue smiling at him and asking him: "Li Gou'er, you want to steal my fairy grass and white orchids!" Li Gou'er blushed. Just giggle. The old woman said again: "My fairy grass is a priceless treasure. If you take it back to the human world and plant it in fertile soil, it will fulfill your wish in three days." The secret is to smell the white orchid with your nose while thinking about what you need. ?The old woman disappeared after saying that.

Li Gouer was very happy to meet the immortal. He bent down and just pulled up the white orchid. He only heard a burst of music and the fairyland disappeared, but he stood in his own courtyard with his hands It held the fragrant white orchid.

He followed the immortal’s instructions and planted the orchid in the fertile soil of the courtyard dam. Three days later, this magical fairy grass came to life, and the beautiful white orchids exhaled a faint fragrance, filling the courtyard with fragrance. Li Gouer thought excitedly: My biggest wish is to have a wife. But what should I look like? I am not worthy of being beautiful, and I am ugly when I am ugly. Hey, just ask for someone who looks average and is bigger, as long as you have the strength to work.

He made up his mind and squatted next to the white orchid, thinking about a big woman. He put his nose to the white orchid and smelled it. Suddenly, he saw the white orchid flashing and turning into a white mist. The white mist dissipated, and a woman appeared. This woman was tall, with broad shoulders and round waist, and looked very strong. She smiled and said to him:

My name is Bai Lanhua, and I am willing to spend the rest of my life with my husband. ?

Li Gouer was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth. He held her hand and said:

?A dog is ugly, but he is diligent. He is poor, but he knows how to do it. Love women.

After that, Li Gouer really loved his wife. He rushed to work at home every day and worked harder than before when he went out to pick up dog excrement. His wife didn't look very good, but she was kind-hearted and considerate of him. She said that picking up dog excrement was dirty and tiring, so she would no longer let him do that job. Li Gou'er said that if he didn't pick up dog excrement, he would have no livelihood. The wife smiled and said, it doesn't matter. She pointed her hand in the air, and the white silver appeared on the table and piled up into a hill. Li Gou'er had never seen so much silver before, and he danced with joy.

Bai Lanhua is very capable. She asked people to demolish the dilapidated house and build a new house; she asked the dog to take off his rags and put on a beautiful mandarin jacket; she said that the dog was weak and So I cooked a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas every day to nourish his body.

Under the careful care of his wife, Li Gouer soon became stronger and younger and more beautiful. He felt a little wandering and began to peek at the young girls in the village. Somehow, the more he looked at the young girls in the village, the more beautiful they seemed, and the uglier his wife became.

He regretted it and thought: He should have wished for the most beautiful woman at the beginning. He felt aggrieved and gradually began to look down on his wife.

Li Gouer has gained weight and become lazy. He doesn’t want to do the work at home. He wanders around all day long. He often goes to casinos and brothels. He is corrupt and spends money like water.

Bai Lanhua changed her mind when she saw him. I felt very sad. Advising him to be a serious person, he admitted it with his mouth, but couldn't say a word in his heart. He thought that his wife was a god anyway and had endless money to spend, so it would be hard for him, Li Gouer. He still went his own way, gambling and whoring all day long, doing whatever he wanted.

No one in the place knows about Li Gouer’s family background. Seeing that he was as rich as the God of Wealth, they all felt strange and suspected that the source of his money was unknown. Someone wrote a petition and handed it to the Emei County government office to sue him.

The Emei County magistrate is a corrupt official, his surname is Zhu Mingcan. Seeing that the person being sued was a poor bachelor who spent money like water, he felt something was fishy, ??so he sent a government officer to Li Gouer Village to investigate the case. After an investigation, it was found that there was a woman of unknown origin in Li Gou'er's family. Zhu Can came up with a plan and sent Li Gou'er to the Yamen, held a banquet in honor of her, and asked him to tell the story of his wife's origin. Li Gouer has never met the county magistrate, but now he invites him to a banquet and asks him to tell the story of his wife. He was so flattered that he hurriedly told him about going to the mountains to collect orchids, how to get white orchids, and how to turn white orchids into fairy wives. When Zhu Can heard this, he felt both jealous and surprised. He rolled his eyes and said:

? Li Gouer, casinos are not as good as officialdom, and beauty is not as good as Wushamao. How about trading your big wife?

?Exchanging wives? Li Gouer hesitated, but then he thought: Being an official is prestigious, you can honor your ancestors, you can do whatever you want when you are powerful, and you don't have to worry about money and women. ?He nodded in agreement.

Zhu Can saw that Li Gouer agreed. He immediately wrote down the exchange agreement and asked him to press his fingerprint.

The next day, Li Gouer took Zhu Can back home. He proudly told his wife about trading him for a black gauze hat. Bai Lanhua saw that her husband had done such an immoral thing. She was shaking with anger, but she still persuaded him politely, asking him to take back the paper contract from the county magistrate and not forget the days when he was a bachelor. Li Gou'er was ashamed and angry when he saw that he was exposed. She called him an ugly woman and wanted to rely on him to live her life.

Seeing that he was ungrateful and hopeless, Bai Lanhua glared at the county magistrate bitterly, turned back and said to Li Gou'er: "Gou'er, don't regret it!" After saying that, she walked straight away. Enter the sedan chair.

When Li Gouer saw that the business was done, he was busy trying to get Zhu Can’s black gauze hat to put on his head. When Zhu Can saw Bai Lanhua entering the sedan chair, he hurriedly asked the sedan bearer to go back home. At this time, Li Gouer suddenly discovered that the black gauze hat on his head was made of paper.

He was so angry that he shouted that he had been deceived and rushed to stop the sedan. Zhu Can was furious and ordered the government officials to rush forward and beat Li Gou'er for a while, then set fire to his beautiful new house and asked the bearers to carry the white orchids and leave.

When Zhu Can and his party carried the sedan chair to a mountain valley, the sedan chair suddenly became very heavy, and the bearer had to stop and rest. When Zhu Can saw this, he was furious. He didn't believe that the sedan chair would become heavier, so he walked toward the sedan chair cursing and was about to open the curtain to see what was going on. He saw the curtain shook suddenly, and a giant python came out of it. The snake jumped out, frightened him out of his wits, and screamed to death. It was strange that the snake didn't hurt anyone else, and it swam slowly towards Mount Emei with a flick of its head.

Let’s say that when Li Gouer woke up and saw that his house was burned down, he became a bachelor again, so he had no choice but to carry the dog excrement basket and go back to his old trade.

The fragrance floats back to the state until half of Chutian is fragrant!

Finally, riding on the A small boat carrying the fragrance of flowers in the stream, Qu Yuan still came out of the mountain.
