There is a hunter in Yunfeng Mountain named Hao Dayong, who is chivalrous and has a very good reputation. He has a daughter, Hao Xiuwen, who is as beautiful as a fairy and is waiting to be married. In addition, there is a black dog in the family. There is no stray hair on the body and it is very ferocious. Because the black dog is a male dog, Hao Dayong raises the black dog as his son. The father and daughter call the black dog Hei Xiao. Hei Xiao is more grateful to Hao Dayong for saving his life. That year, Hao Dayong went into the mountains to hunt wolves and met a pair of wolves and wolves. As a result, the wolves cooperated with each other and almost ate Hao Dayong. At the critical moment, Hei Xiao fought the wolf, and Hao Dayong escaped from the wolf's mouth, but Hei Xiao was bitten off one leg by the wolf. From then on, Hei Xiao was left with three legs. Later, Hao Dayong broke the fire gun, cultivated 3 acres of thin land, and his life was barely passable.
One day, Hao Xiuwen took Heixiao into the mountains to pick mushrooms. They did not return for a day, which made Hao Dayong very anxious. He searched all over the mountains and ridges, but he did not see any trace of Hao Xiuwen and Heixiao. The villagers also helped him to search every corner nearby, but there was still no news. For three days in a row, Hao Dayong could not eat or sleep, and he was almost crazy. That night, Hao Dayong was sitting on the kang, not wanting to eat or drink, when he suddenly heard a noise from the door outside the house. He hurriedly got off the kang to open the door, only to see his Heixiao gasping and lying weakly at the door. Hao Dayong saw that Heixiao was covered in blood and was dying, so he immediately carried it into the house. After a closer look, he found that Heixiao was covered in wounds, and the heaviest wound was half a foot long. Heixiao stretched out his tongue and licked Hao Dayong's hand, and then he died. At this time, it suddenly rained heavily outside. Hao Dayong sighed to the sky: "God is so unfair! This rain is the tears of my daughter and Heixiao's injustice!"
The next day, Hao Dayong asked someone to make a small coffin and buried Hei Xiao on the hillside of his home. Hao Dayong vowed to avenge Hao Xiuwen and Hei Xiao. Unfortunately, a heavy rain washed away all traces of Hei Xiao's crawling back. But Hao Dayong always believed that his Xiuwen must have disappeared nearby. He reported the case to the government, but a few officials from the government came, looked around, and then left without any news. Hao Dayong climbed over mountains and ridges all day long to look for Hao Xiuwen, but after more than ten years, there was no news at all.
Twenty years have passed in a flash. Hao Dayong has become hunchbacked. Over the years, he has traveled all over the nearby mountains and rivers, his tears have dried up, his hair has turned completely white, but he still hasn't found his daughter. He has become discouraged and has lost all his energy.
At noon that day, Hao Dayong was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard a dog barking in the village. He opened the door in surprise and ran out. The sound was Hei Xiao's barking! That's right! Hao Dayong looked around suspiciously and saw a black shadow passing by. Hao Dayong called out, "Hei Xiao! Is that you?" Hao Dayong staggered and chased after him. Sure enough, he saw his Hei Xiao limping in front of him, nodding at Hao Dayong as he ran. Hao Dayong shouted loudly: "Hei Xiao, wait for me! Hei Xiao, wait for me!" Some people saw Hao Dayong running like a madman, and they said distressedly: "It's a pity that a hero of his life has ended up like this!" Some advised him: "Brother Hao, come back, why are you running? Don't fall!" Hao Dayong said: "My Hei Xiao is in front, it came back to see me." Everyone sighed: "Hey, the old man is mentally ill. Where is Hei Xiao? My eyes are blurry. If I die one day, I will talk about it . I am confused." But Hao Dayong really saw his Hei Xiao walking in front. Because it was noon, most of the villagers were taking a nap, and there were few pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, someone passed by and saw Hao Dayong walking out of the village, and no one stopped him. Hei Xiao walked in front and Hao Dayong chased behind. One in front and one behind, they walked into a gully in the neighboring village. Getting farther and farther away from the people, getting closer and closer to the mountains. Hao Dayong was led into the mountains by Hei Xiao.
Hei Xiao stopped in front and refused to move. Hao Dayong walked over quickly, but Hei Xiao disappeared without a trace. What appeared in front of Hao Dayong was a bloody man. This man was lying beside a well that had been abandoned for many years. Hao Dayong knew him. His name was Liu Xiaogou, and he was a bachelor from the neighboring village. People from the neighboring village said that Liu Xiaogou had left the village for more than 20 years. Hao Dayong didn't understand, when did Liu Xiaogou come back? Why was he covered with scars? Hao Dayong used his hand to feel Liu Xiaogou's breath, and there was still a little heat, so he helped Liu Xiaogou up. Liu Xiaogou opened his eyes and saw that it was Hao Dayong. He immediately begged for mercy in fear and said, "Uncle Hao, please forgive me, I am guilty, I deserve to die!" Liu Xiaogou's words confused Hao Dayong. Hao Dayong said, "What did you say, Xiaogou Liu? You want me to spare you? We have no past or present grudges, what are you afraid of?" Xiaogou Liu whispered, "Uncle Hao, you are a great man and don't bear grudges. I really like Xiuwen. I didn't force her to jump into the well. She wanted to jump on her own." When Hao Dayong heard Xiaogou Liu mention Xiuwen, he felt sad and asked with tears in his eyes, "Tell me, what happened?"
Liu Xiaogou then told the secret of twenty years ago in bits and pieces.
Liu Xiaogou is a lazy man who is over 30 years old and still can't get married. No girl is willing to marry a second-rate guy. Originally, Liu Xiaogou didn't know Hao Xiuwen. It was just a coincidence that Liu Xiaogou also went to the mountain to pick mushrooms that day. He was stunned by Hao Xiuwen's beauty at once. He deliberately talked to Hao Xiuwen, and when he learned that she was Hao Xiuwen, a beauty famous in dozens of miles, he immediately had evil intentions. He quietly followed Hao Xiuwen. Hao Xiuwen came to the ravine, where there was an abandoned house. People used to live here, but later they moved down the mountain, leaving only the stone walls on the four sides. Liu Xiaogou saw that if he didn't take action now, he would have no chance when he got out of the ravine. Liu Xiaogou caught up with Hao Xiuwen and said, "I like you. Marry me." Hao Xiuwen didn't take this wretched man seriously. She said, "Who are you? I don't even know you. How can I marry you?" Liu Xiaogou said, "We know each other, so we know each other." Hao Xiuwen sneered and said, "Give up on that idea. I will stay at home for my whole life. If I die one day , I will never marry you." Liu Xiaogou made up her mind and said fiercely, "It's not up to you to marry me or not. I have the final say." Liu Xiaogou then made a move on Hao Xiuwen. Hao Xiuwen shouted, "Hei Xiao, come quickly!" The old Hei Xiao limped and pounced on Liu Xiaogou. Liu Xiaogou raised the sickle in his hand and chopped it fiercely. Poor Hei Xiao was knocked to the ground by Liu Xiaogou. Liu Xiaogou was so beastly that he hugged Hao Xiuwen and pulled down his pants. Hao Xiuwen struggled desperately and scratched Liu Xiaogou's face with his hands, leaving several bloody streaks. But he was not as strong as Liu Xiaogou. Seeing that Liu Xiaogou was about to succeed, Hao Xiuwen cried and begged, "Let me go, I will take off my pants myself." Liu Xiaogou grinned and said, "You have seen through it a long time ago, why did you provoke me to do it?" Liu Xiaogou let go of Hao Xiuwen, and Hao Xiuwen turned around suddenly and plunged into the deep well not far away. When Liu Xiaogou saw that someone had died, he was also shocked. He hurried back home, packed up his things and ran away. Not long after Liu Xiaogou left, it started to rain heavily.
Liu Xiaogou fled from his hometown and could not rest all day long. He always felt that there was a dark shadow following him. This dark shadow was Hei Xiao, whom he had killed. Liu Xiaogou went to many places, and Hei Xiao followed him like a shadow, which made him terrified. Living in fear was worse than death. He had no choice but to sneak back to his hometown. Unexpectedly, before he entered the village, Hei Xiao chased him. Wherever he went, Hei Xiao blocked his way. Only when he ran into the mountains, Hei Xiao followed him. In this way, Hei Xiao chased him all the way to the place where Hao Xiuwen jumped into the well.
After hearing what Liu Xiaogou said, Hao Dayong was in so much pain that he wanted to die. He raised his foot and was about to kick Liu Xiaogou. Liu Xiaogou opened his eyes wide in fear, couldn't breathe, and died.
Hao Dayong called the villagers to go down the well to fish out Hao Xiuwen. Surprisingly, Hao Xiuwen's body had not decayed after twenty years and looked lifelike. Hao Dayong burst into tears when he saw his daughter. Thinking of the lingering soul of Hei Xiao, Hao Dayong wanted to catch the murderer and execute him. He was grateful for Hei Xiao's loyalty and bravery, so he dug up Hei Xiao's grave and prepared to rebury him. Unexpectedly, Hei Xiao's body was also intact.
