Who knows the whole story of snail girl?

During the Jin Dynasty, there was an orphan named Xie Duan in Houguan County. His parents died when he was very young, and his kind neighbors adopted him. Xie Duan is honest, hardworking and thrifty. When he was seventeen or eighteen, he didn't want to give his neighbors any more trouble, so he built a small house on the hillside and lived independently. Because his family is poor, he has never married a wife. Neighbors are very concerned about him, and they have helped him hook up several times, but they have not succeeded.

Xie Duan was not disappointed by this. He still works at sunrise every day, returns at sunset and works hard. One day, he found a very big snail in the field. He was surprised and happy. He took it home, put it in a water tank and raised it carefully with water.

One day, Xie Duan went to work in the field as usual in the morning, but when he got home, he found delicious rice on the stove, delicious fish and vegetables in the cupboard and boiling hot water in the teapot. He thought that some kind neighbor must have helped him cook.

Unexpectedly, I came back the next day like this. Two days, three days ... Xie Duan feels guilty every day and goes to the neighbor's house to thank him. He went to many homes, but the neighbors said they didn't do it. Why thank him? Xie Duan thought that this must be the kindness of his neighbor. He just thanked him again and again. The neighbors smiled and said, "You must have married yourself and hid at home to cook for you." Xie Duan listened and wondered. He can't think of a clue, so he wants to find out.

The next day, the rooster crowed everywhere. As usual, Xie Duan went down to work with a hoe. It was dawn, and he hurried home to see who the good-hearted man was. He saw the chimney on the roof of his house smoking in the distance, so he went forward to see who was cooking with his own eyes. But when he crept close to the door and looked in, there was no movement at home. When he walked in, he saw that the food on the table was delicious, the fire in the kitchen was still burning and the water in the pot was boiling. The enthusiastic chef disappeared before he could scoop it up.

One day has passed. Xie Duan got up early again. The rooster crowed in the field and went home before dawn. Before the kitchen smoke rose, Xie Duan quietly approached the fence, hid in the dark, and watched everything in his room with rapt attention. After a while, he finally saw a beautiful young girl slowly coming out of the water tank, and her clothes were not slightly wet because of the water. The girl moved to the stove and began to cook and cook.

Xie Duan really saw it, ran into the door and walked to the water tank. When he saw it, the snail he picked up was just an empty shell. He looked at the empty shell again and again in surprise, then went to the fire and said to the young girl who was cooking, "Girl, where are you from?" Why did you help me cook? "The girl didn't expect Xie Duan will appear at this time. She was surprised to hear him ask about her life, and didn't know what to do. The girl wanted to go back to the water tank, but she was blocked by Xie Duan. Xie Duan repeatedly asked, and the girl had to tell him the truth. It turns out that this girl is Motome, the water in the sky. Knowing that Xie Duan's parents died when he was a child, the Emperor of Heaven sympathized with him and sent a goddess to help him. Water Motome added: "God sent me to earth to cook and do housework for you. I want you to get rich, get married and get a good wife in ten years, and then I will reply in heaven. But now my mission has not been completed, but you know the secret. My cover was blown. Even if you promise not to tell, it is inevitable that others will know. I can't stay here any longer. I must go back to heaven. " After listening to the fairy's words, Xie Duan was very grateful and regretted it. He repeatedly invited Motome to stay. Water has made up its mind. Before he left, Shui said to Xie Duan, "Your life will be even sadder after I leave, but as long as you do farm work well, fish more and chop more firewood, your life will get better every day. I'll leave you the snail shell, and you can use it to store grain, so that the rice can live, and the rice in the shell can't be used up. "While speaking, I saw a strong wind outside, and then it rained heavily. In the rain, Motome said the last sentence and floated away.

Grateful for the kindness of the goddess, I specially made an idol for her and went to burn incense and thank humbly on holidays. And with the help of hard-working hands and the goddess, his days are booming day by day. A few years later, he married and became a county magistrate. To thank Motome for its water, Xie Duan built a temple, which is today's Motome Temple.
