300 words abbreviation of Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall
During the Qin Dynasty, the Meng family and the Jiang family were neighbors and had no daughters. Grandpa Meng planted a gourd seed in the corner of the wall. In autumn, the melon became mature. Grandpa Meng cut it open and saw a white and fat little girl inside. She was a descendant of two families, so he called her Meng Jiangnu.
Meng Jiangnu gradually grew up. One day, Meng Jiangnu and her maid were walking in the garden when they suddenly discovered a little scholar hidden under the grape trellis. The little scholar said that his name was Fan Xiliang. Qin Shihuang was arresting people everywhere in order to build the Great Wall, and he came to escape. Because they were evading arrest from the government this time, the two fell in love at first sight. The marriage took place after obtaining the consent of the parents. But not long after, Fan Xiliang was taken to the north to build the Great Wall.
Meng Jiangnu was thinking about Fan Xiliang and wanted to give him cotton-padded clothes, so she set out on the road. She walked day and night for three days and two nights. She rested in a shabby shop for another ten days and ten nights. Finally, she arrived at the construction site of the Great Wall. She quickly asked someone who said Fan Xiliang was dead. The city is filled with corpses. Meng Jiang felt sad and started to cry. She cried for three days and three nights, and a section of the Great Wall collapsed due to her crying, revealing Fan Xiliang's bones.
