Zero weather in Hua Ting.

Original: Zhou Xiaozi's name is Fang Rong, and he is from Huating. His father, Wen Rong, died at the state government residence. Fang Rong was fourteen years old, and his grandparents died one after another. On his deathbed, he caressed Fang Rong and sighed, "I'm so glad you found a dutiful son!" Fang Rong wept bitterly and yearned for it, so he began to have the idea of burying bones.

There is a dutiful son named Zhou, Fang Rong, from Huating. His father Wen Rong died in his official residence in Guizhou when he was an official in Chu. When Fang Rong was fourteen years old, his grandparents died one after another. On his deathbed, he stroked Fang Rong and said, "I hope you can be a dutiful son looking for his father's bones and let me close my eyes in the grave." Fang Rong cried and made a wish, and had the idea of carrying his father's bones home for burial.

Fang Rong was strong since she was a child, so she was able to trudge through difficulties and dangers, but she said, "Is there a man with a father in the world?" But he burned incense and told the temple, "If you leave, you will never come back." Since leaving Beijing, Fang Rong has been exposed to the wind, frost and rain every day, feeling hungry and cold all the time. When I stopped at the hotel, I was dizzy and anxious all over. The next day, I couldn't get up.

Considering that she is an adult, Fang Rong can wade through mountains and rivers to overcome difficulties and obstacles, so she encourages herself to say, "How can there be people without fathers in the world!" So Fang Rong burned incense in the ancestral temple at home and said, "If I can't find my father's remains when I go out this time, I will never come back. "After going to the capital, Fang Rong will hurry regardless of the weather. Because it was cold and hot all the way, hungry and full, he was dizzy and hot as a fire when he stayed in the hotel, and he couldn't get sick the next day.

Seeing Fang Rong's illness, the master dared not stay and wanted to move to a neighboring temple. Fang Rong said: "Although my illness is dramatic, my heart is clear and medicine can cure me immediately. Besides, I have something important to do, and I should tell you the reason for recruiting Li Zheng (Li Zheng: the name of an ancient local official). " I arrived a few miles later. When I heard that the color was moving, I invited a doctor.

When the innkeeper saw Fang Rong's illness, he was so worried that he dared not let him spend the night and wanted to put him in a nearby temple. Fang Rong said: "Although my illness is serious, I am conscious and can be cured by taking medicine. I have important things to finish. Please call Li Zheng for me, and I will explain the reason to him. " He arrived soon, was very moved after hearing his story, and asked a doctor to treat him.

I can walk until the beginning of June. Ma Xie wears short clothes and walks three or four miles a day. Or the wind and rain suddenly come, often dripping. Or walking barefoot in the mountains, the heels are cracked and bleeding. Finally, he returned to the state. He fell in love with the old service and got his father's skeleton. Fang Rong got into the boat with a negative bone and arrived in Li Men for more than half a month.

Finally arrived in Guizhou, relying on the guidance of handyman for many years, I found my father's body.

This book is just a publication of Shudetang in the 18th year of Daoguang. After finishing, in addition to punctuation and segmentation, some typos in some versions have also been corrected. In the process of sorting out, I found that several words were suspicious, or the version was wrongly engraved, probably because of the author's negligence.
