They respected each other and were very close to each other. They often wrote poems and painted in the back garden. One year, an old man planted a gourd tree next to a rockery. The tree had thick vines and lush leaves, and some vines even climbed along the wall to the Jiang family next door. The vine of the Chuan family and the Jiang family produced a big gourd. In autumn, the old man said to the Jiang family, "Cut the gourd in half, half for you and half for me. Unexpectedly, there was a plump and very cute baby girl in the gourd. After negotiation, she was raised by the Meng family and named Meng Jiangnu. Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the girl has grown into a graceful, well-educated and sensible girl, and she is already eighteen years old. One day, Meng Jiangnu was fishing for the fan that had fallen into the pond in the garden. She was seen by Fan Xiliang, who was hiding in the bushes in the garden to avoid forced labor. Xiliang was a handsome young man, so the Meng family invited him to be their son-in-law. Unexpectedly, just as the two were getting married, pursuers arrived, captured Fan Xiliang, and sent him to the north to build the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnu missed her husband day and night and was extremely sad. One day, snowflakes were falling in the south of the Yangtze River and the north wind was blowing. Meng Jiangnu shivered and thought that her husband's clothes had been worn out over the years and could not withstand the biting cold wind outside the Great Wall. She decided to make a set of winter clothes for her husband and deliver them to him personally. So she made thick cotton quilts and sewed them tightly with needle and thread, sewing her deep love for her husband into the winter clothes. After the winter clothes were ready, she said goodbye to her parents, carried the clothes on her back, and set out on a long journey of thousands of miles to deliver the clothes. Along the way, sometimes it rained continuously, the ground was muddy and it was difficult to walk; sometimes the wind blew suddenly, sand and stones flew, and the sky was dark; sometimes the mountains were high and the roads were dangerous, thorns were everywhere, and wild beasts appeared; sometimes it snowed heavily, the world was icy and the wind was biting. Despite all the hardships, she still held a firm belief in her heart: to get her husband winter clothes as soon as possible. But when Meng Jiangnu arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, she never imagined that her husband Fan Xiliang had died of exhaustion in the winter of the previous year and his body was buried under the Great Wall. When Meng Jiangnu heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She cried and slapped the city wall with her hands, shouting "Fan Xiliang"'s name. Meng Jiangnu cried for her tragically dead husband and cursed the cruel tyrant. Amid her angry accusations, the storm howled in the sky and the raging waves rolled on the sea, all pressing towards the Great Wall. Suddenly, there was a loud noise and the sky collapsed and the earth split. A section of the Great Wall collapsed, revealing a skeleton. Meng Jiangnu watched over the bones and cried for seven days and seven nights. Then she burned the winter clothes. The clothes slowly floated up and then gradually fell down. Meng Jiangnu turned three times and then fell down steadily, covering the bones.
