A strange man named Qian Chunyu lives at the foot of Jufu Mountain. He has a magical flute that allows rock bees that originally made their home on the cliffs to fly to the eaves of his house to build nests. Qian Chunyu's family makes a living selling rock honey.

Because honey brewed by rock bees is rich in nutrients and has significant health benefits, there is an endless stream of people who come to Qian Chunyu's house to buy honey. Sometimes Qian Chunyu can't help people's soft entanglement and grinding, and Qian Chunyu will take out a flute and play a song. At this time, these rock bees will dance to the sound of his flute, and the scene is quite spectacular.

On this day, the county magistrate Sun Cheng made a special trip to Qian Chunyu's house to visit the rock bees. After sitting down and chatting for a few words, Sun Cheng suggested Qian Chunyu play a song, so that he could enjoy the pleasure of the rock bees dancing. Qian Chunyu agreed and went back to the house to get the flute.

Qian Chunyu had just played a few music notes when those rock bees suddenly rushed out of the hive like crazy and flew around in the yard. Qian Chunyu was startled.

He snorted and said to him, "Boss Qian, when the common people came, you made these rock bees dance happily, flying and swinging. I came all the way from mountains and rivers to see the wonders, but you let these beasts bump around like headless flies, trying to get through with me, didn't you?"

When Qian Chunyu heard that, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly explained with a smile, "Lord Sun, don't be angry, it's all my fault for not being well-prepared just now. I used my breath when playing the flute, and the flute sound was a little out of tune. I'll play it again now, just wait and see the show!" After saying that, he held his breath, put the flute to his mouth, and played it calmly.

Who knew that after his flute sounded, those rock bees flew out of the hive like crazy. First they bumped around, then they flew to Sun Cheng, who was sitting in the shade of the tree. Sun Cheng saw that something was wrong, covered his head and ran away. How can a human run faster than a bee? The rock bees soon caught up with him and stung him on his face and neck.

Sun Cheng passed out before he could run back to the inn. Fortunately, there was a local man in the town who specialized in bee venom and saved him by means of dirt. Although his life was saved, it left behind sequelae that were itchy and uncomfortable all over his body.

Sun Cheng was furious, first sending the yamen to burn all the rock bees raised by Qian Chunyu, then arresting him and putting him in prison. Those who knew Sun Cheng secretly sweated for Qian Chunyu. With his vindictive character, Qian Chunyu's life might not be saved.

After being thrown into the prison, Qian Chunyu couldn't figure it out. The same flute, the same music score, and the same way of playing. In the past, when the flute sounded, the swarm of bees rejoiced and danced on the flute, but this time the swarm of bees was like an evil demon, stinging when they saw people. Where is the problem?

Just as Qian Chunyu was puzzled, his son Qian Zhong bribed the jailer to come to visit. Seeing his father, Qian Zhong knelt down and cried bitterly, "Father, the child is unfilial, and it is the child who harmed you!" Then Qian Zhong told the truth.

It turned out that Qian Chunyu went out to do errands a few days ago and forgot to lock the wooden case where the flute was held. After Qian Zhong found out, he became playful and secretly took out the flute and played it like his father. Because he didn't play in tune at all, of course, Rock Bee would not listen to him. Disappointed, he waved his hand, wanting to vent his anger, but the flute flew out of his hand and fell into the pigsty. He was shocked and quickly jumped into the pigsty to pick out the flute. After a closer look, it was covered with pig poop. He was afraid that his father would scold him when he came back, so he flushed the flute with water and put it back in the wooden case.

After listening to his son's story, Qian Chunyu sighed and complained, "Oh, my silly child, why didn't you tell me earlier? This flute is most afraid of filth. Once it is soaked, the flute will be mixed with filth. This is the reason why Rock Bee goes crazy!"

Hearing his father's words, Qian Zhong burst into tears. Qian Chunyu comforted him and asked him to find a way to tell the county princess about this situation through the jailer, hoping that the county princess would be kind.

Who knew that Sun Cheng did not believe their words at all, and soon sentenced Qian Chunyu to a decision?

On the day of the execution, Sun Cheng personally supervised the execution. Qian Chunyu made it look like thousands of ants were biting him. He wanted to watch his head fall to the ground with his own eyes to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Cheng threw a swab across the table and shouted, "Execute!"

Seeing Qian Chunyu about to fall to the groundhis moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Leave someone under the knife!"

He came to Sun Cheng, knelt down on his knees, and said, "Master, Caomin's name is Meng He. He and Qian Chunyu grew up together barefoot. Now that the two of us are about to be separated by yin and yang, Caomin has a few words to say to him.

As soon as Meng He finished speaking, Qian Chunyu, who was kneeling on the guillotine, said, "Master, don't listen to his nonsense. I don't know him at all.

This sentence stunned Sun Cheng. One said he was a partner who grew up with bare butts, and the other said he didn't know each other at all. What was going on?

Sun Cheng was a person who liked to watch the fun. He really wanted to see what the two were up to, so he nodded and agreed to Meng He's request.

Meng He walked up to the guillotine and came to Qian Chunyu's side. Before he could speak, Qian Chunyu said, "Okay, Xiaohezi, you finally came to the door. Now that I have been punished, you can see my head fall to the ground with your own eyes.

Meng He shook his head after hearing this: "Brother Chunyu, you misunderstood, I'm not here to seek revenge on you, but to visit you. Tell me, what's going on?"

"What happened has nothing to do with you, I deserve to be unlucky. I should have suffered such retribution for what I did to you back then!" Qian Chunyu sneered, lowered his head and stopped talking.

It turned out that Qian Chunyu was not a native of Jufu Town, but moved from a village called Mengjiazhuang on the other side of Jufu Mountain. Mengjiazhuang was more than 100 miles away from Jufu Town, and it had to climb several mountain beams. He and Meng He were neighbors, and they grew up together, and their families had similar experiences. They lost their parents at the age of sixteen, and they helped each other to live. One day, the two went up the mountain to collect rock honey. Meng He was in charge of putting down the rope ladder, and Qian Chunyu was in charge of stepping down the rope ladder to the place where the rock bees were nesting to cut the hive. Everything went well at first, but when Qian Chunyu came to the hive and lit a torch to smoke the rock bees away, unfortunately, the rope ladder suddenly broke! Qian Chunyu fell from the cliff more than 100 meters high like a kite with a broken string. He thought to himself, this is the end! He thought that his life should not be lost. During the fall, he bounced on the canopy of two big trees one after another, and then plunged into a deep pool at the bottom of the mountain, and was rescued by an old man passing by.

After listening to Qian Chunyu's story about his experience with Meng He, the old man was very sympathetic. He took out two identical flutes and a sheet music from the bag he carried with him, and said to him: "You and Meng He have one of these two flutes, but unfortunately there is only one sheet music. When you get home, you can copy it for him. If you play the flute according to sheet music, amazing things will happen. But one thing to remember, the flute must not be contaminated by filthy things, otherwise there will be disaster." The old man got up and left.

Qian Chunyu learned to play the flute with his uncle when he was a child, and he also knew sheet music, so he started playing according to sheet music.

He had just played for a while when he saw a group of dark things rushing down the cliff. He looked closely and saw that it was a swarm of rock bees. Startled, he quickly stopped playing his flute and hid in the bushes. The swarm flew away again.

After the swarm flew away, he came out of the bushes and played the flute again, and the swarm gathered back and circled over his head. Qian Chunyu saw that the swarm did not mean to attack him, so she stood up boldly and walked down the mountain playing the flute. Unexpectedly, the swarm followed him down the mountain.

When he got home, he stopped playing the flute, and the group of rock bees flew to the eaves to build a nest. Qian Chunyu was overjoyed, the flute given by the old man turned out to be a treasure!

When the sun was in the west, Meng He came back, and found Qian Chunyu was not dead, so he danced with joy.

Qian Chunyu told him about his strange experience. At first, he didn't believe it. Later, when he saw the swarm of bees gathered under the eaves, he believed it.

Qian Chunyu gave another flute to Meng He according to the old man's instructions, but when he copied the score for him, he had a crooked idea. He thought to himself that if Meng He learned to play this tune, he would definitely go up the mountain to attract a swarm of bees to build a nest, and the number of bees on the mountain is limited. If he leads a group more, he will lead a group less. The flute and sheet music that he almost got in exchange for his life can't be so cheap. Thinking like this, he secretly changed a few music notes, and then sent the copied sheet music to Meng He.

In the low hut of Meng He's house, Qian Chunyu taught him until midnight, and finally taught him to play the flute. The next morning, the two of them made an appointment to go up the mountain together to attract a swarm of bees. In order to prevent the flute from disturbing each other, Qian Chunyu went to the South Mountain, and Meng He went to the North Mountain. Near noon, Qian Chunyu led a group of rock bees back, but Meng He was stung by the rock bees because he played the wrong music, and his face was swollen.

When Qian Chunyu led back the fifth swarm, Meng He did not give up and went up the mountain alone with the flute. As a result, he was attacked again by the swarm and fell from the cliff into the mountain stream.

After Qian Chunyu got the news, he was afraid that the incident would be investigated by the government, so he brought his flute over the mountains and came to Jufu Town and settled down at the foot of Jufu Mountain.

As for Meng He, he didn't die after falling down the mountain. Later, he devoted himself to studying the rhythm and found that his score had been tampered with by Qian Chunyu. At that time, he was very cold and didn't understand why Qian Chunyu, whom he regarded as his brother, would treat him like this. After some efforts, he not only corrected the places where Qian Chunyu had tampered, but also created a few original songs. Many years later, he heard that there lived a strange man who kept bees by playing flutes at the foot of Jufu Mountain. He guessed that it should be Qian Chunyu, so he said goodbye to his family and came over the mountains to find him, intending to catch up with him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Fulai County, he caught up with the county chief to kill, and it was Qian Chunyu who he was looking for.

Meng He helped Qian Chunyu up and said sincerely, "Brother Chunyu, I don't remember what happened back then at all. These years, I really support you. We grew up together, and you helped me and I helped you. This friendship is still unforgettable to this day.

Qian Chunyu still lowered his head and remained silent.

Qian Zhong, who was standing under the guillotine, choked up and told him everything that had happened. After listening, Meng He said, "Brother Chunyu, wait, I'll go and plead with the county princess!" After that, he jumped off the guillotine.

Meng He came to Sun Cheng, knelt down on his knees, and said, "Sir, the reason why the swarm attacked you was entirely because there was something wrong with Qian Chunyu's flute. The responsibility was not on him.

After Sun Cheng heard this, he slapped the table and angrily said, "If you forgive him, then wouldn't my itch be in vain!"" After saying that, regardless of his own image, he reached into his shirt and scratched it in front of everyone.

Meng He stepped forward, lifted Sun Cheng's sleeve and looked at it, and said confidently, "If I can cure your itch, can you spare Qian Chunyu?" Sun Cheng had been tortured to death by the itch. Hearing Meng He say this, he nodded and agreed without thinking. Meng He said again, "Close your eyes, no matter what happens in a while, don't open your eyes."

After saying that, Meng He took out the flute from his arms and stood in front of the table to blow calmly. After a while, a group of bees that people had never seen before flew from a distance. The bees were the size of a golden cicada, their whole body was brown and red, and their eyes were bulging, and they looked very scary. The bees circled over people's heads, making a harsh buzzing sound. Meng He's flute turned and changed another tune. The bees lined up and flew one by one to Sun Cheng's forehead, stabbing the bee needles at the tail into his skin. At the end of the song, the bees flew away. Looking at Sun Cheng again, after fighting poison with poison, the itch has been completely eliminated.

Sun Cheng meant what he said and spared Qian Chunyu the death penalty, but the evil in his chest could not be dispelled, so he still ordered the yamen to beat him a hundred times before it was over.

Later, Meng He gave his flute to Qian Chunyu. Qian Chunyu insisted on not wanting it, and Meng He said he could make another one when he went back, so he accepted it. Meng He gave him several music scores that he created without reservation.

Remembering what he had done in the past and comparing it with Meng He, Qian Chunyu couldn't help but shed tears of shame.
