Ancient folk story: Meng Jiangnu sent cold clothes

In the Qin Dynasty, Wan Qiliang was recruited as a corvee and built the Great Wall on his wedding night. His wife, Meng Jiangnu, was very sad because she didn't want to be separated from her. Looking at her husband Wan Qiliang was dragged out of the house by several officials and disappeared into the night, crying loudly:

"On their wedding night,

Lonely geese crow from the residual wind,

Candle flowers move sadly,

In the cool snow, the mang half seat is reflected.

Damn it! ……"

In a blink of an eye 1 1 month, the autumn wind roared and the weather became cold. Meng Jiangnv was very anxious when she thought that Wan Qiliang, her husband who built the Great Wall in the north, was still wearing a thin coat. So I made up my mind to send her husband warm clothes. She climbed dozens of mountains and crossed dozens of rivers. Walking during the day and staying at night, I walked for a few days and nights and went through hardships before I reached the Great Wall. I saw many people in the corvee: someone was constantly carrying earth and stone; Someone is digging a trench with an iron drill; Some people use bluestone to build walls; A few people with whips, eyes wide open, eyeing. ..... Meng Jiangnv searched around the Great Wall in the crowd, but there was no sign of her husband Wan Qiliang, and her heart was extremely anxious. Ask the corvee one by one, and some shake their heads; Some waved their hands and said they didn't know the whereabouts of Wan Qiliang. Meng Jiangnu was so desperate that she sat near the Great Wall and burst into tears:

"The autumn wind blows gently, and the weather is cold.

Jiang Meng lives alone in this house.

Looking at the sky during the day, thinking about it,

Night and bean lamp hate the long night.

Worried, ragged, covering the sky with one hand, cold all over,

Busy knitting day and night.

Thousands of needles, please hide,

I hope clothes can keep out the cold and keep warm.

Who knows that everything is in vain,

I can't see my husband when I deliver clothes.

Lang Lang! My lang!

My lover is full of kindness!

Complain! Complain! Complain! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

The resentment is all on this wall! "

"Boom-"The wall collapsed. Expose the body of her husband Wan Qiliang. Meng Jiangnv believes that the living husband and wife cannot accompany each other, but the soul should accompany them after death. Suddenly jumped up and hit the wall, immediately fell beside the body of her husband Wan Qiliang, and did not stand up.
