At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a shaving smith named Guo Shunyu who walked the streets and alleys, Guo Shunyu was an honest and honest man, a white and pure guy, although his family was poor, he still begged his daughter-in-law at a young age, and other shaving smiths did not mention how envious they were.
In that era, shaving heads was not as good as modern barbers, the work was not decent, not to say, but also had the saying that "there are women who do not marry shavers", for this reason, most shavers either changed careers in the later period or became old singles for a lifetime.
Guo Shunyu can stall a delicate wife is really lucky, single-mindedly pounced on his wife, not to mention how considerate he is to his wife, the money earned a day out is handed over to his wife, and he leaves a few copper plates on his body, for which many people laugh at Guo Shunyu for being a no-show, but Guo Shunyu himself is happy in it.
On this day, Guo Shunyu walked the streets and alleys for several hours, and there was no business at noon, but the business of other shaving heads was hot, Guo Shunyu greeted a few times and did not see anyone coming, plus at this time the sun was sunning, so he simply put away the guys and prepared to go back home.
When I saw a temple with people on the road, Guo Shunyu was curious, so he went up to look at it, this temple is not big, it looks very shabby on the outside, but there are many pilgrims coming and going, seeing this scene, Guo Shunyu can't help but pull a person and ask: "Hey? Man, why are there so many people in this place? Is there really such a magic experience? ”
The man smiled and nodded, "That's natural, the teacher here is highly respected, and the unsignment is also very accurate, but... Today, I don't know why I suddenly fell ill and was not in the temple, what a coincidence..." The man said, and then shook his head in disappointment and left.
Guo Shunyu smiled dumbly, remembering the business that had not been very good in recent days, and remembering the child in his daughter-in-law's belly, although the teacher was not there, praying for blessings was not a bad thing after all.
Thinking about it, Guo Shunyu stepped in, followed the movements of the others, and prostrated his head three times on the futon like a decent, and then prepared to get up and leave, taking no two steps, Guo Shunyu suddenly had a strange stomach pain, and quickly summoned the little monk to ask: "Little Master, where is the hut?" ”
When the little monk saw Guo Shunyu's look, he was a little embarrassed and pointed not far away: "It's over there." ”
Guo Shunyu did not have time to thank him, and the squire ran in that direction, the location of the hut was relatively remote, and in the corner of the whole temple, it also just gave Guo Shunyu the opportunity to fall for a thousand miles.
Just when he was enjoying himself, there was a sudden sound of crackling outside the hut, Guo Shunyu couldn't help but hold his breath, and didn't dare to use any more force, only to hear two people outside the door muttering something, one of the voices was slightly mature: "Have you bought everything?" ”
Another childish voice came: "Bought it, just little master... This thing is extremely toxic, what do you want it to do? ”
"If you shouldn't ask, don't ask!" The mature voice whispered.
When Guo Shunyu heard this, he suddenly felt that things were not good, and he couldn't help but mutter, these two people sneakily ran here to talk, and said that what is extremely toxic? It's not going to hurt people.
Guo Shunyu thought, quickly wiped it, carefully put on his clothes and pants, and crept along the wall slit to look out.
I saw two young monks talking together, and after a while the young little monk left, and another mature monk looked up and down the courtyard with a small paper bag in his hand, and saw that no one had hurried into a meditation room.
Guo Shunyu followed curiously, a moment later, the monk walked out of the door, the thing he was holding in his hand was gone, Guo Shunyu was shocked, should not the contents of the paper bag have long been eaten, Guo Shunyu covered his mouth and nose and could not help but take a step back, but accidentally kicked a brick, made a muffled sound.
The monk who had just left the meditation room over there quickly stopped, looked around and shouted angrily, "Who's over there?" ”
Guo Shunyu was frightened, and quickly turned around and ran, a touch of clothing corner was looked at by the monk, and he chased along the side, but at this time Guo Shunyu had already mixed into the temple crowd, and prostrated his head a few times again, and then pretended to be okay and left.
Along the way, Guo Shunyu was terrified, afraid that he would be caught, he was not sure whether his conjecture was correct, but he could be sure that the monk must not have done anything good, otherwise he would not have done things so secretly, and he looked afraid of being discovered.
Back at home, when his wife saw Guo Shunyu's worried look, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiang Gong, what happened, why are you so sad?" ”
Guo Shunyu sighed, pondered for a long time, and did not say the matter, but he had already been discovered, or a little uneasy said: "Daughter-in-law, these days I have something, may not be able to take care of you, or these days you go back to your mother's house first, after a while I will pick you up again." ”
However, the wife did not know what happened, and when she saw that Guo Shunyu had the intention to drive herself back to her mother's house, she cried: "Good you Guo Shunyu, if you get me, you will not cherish it, well, I will go back to my mother's house!" ”
Guo Shunyu was anxious, and did not pay attention to his wife, so he fell back to sleep, but for several days, Guo Shunyu did not find any danger, and he left the matter behind him after coming and going, at this time he remembered that he had provoked his daughter-in-law to be angry earlier, and he coaxed his daughter-in-law back from his mother-in-law's house with good words, and for several days in a row, the daughter-in-law smiled at him.
That night, Guo Shunyu and his wife were happy, so they drank some wine, got up at night to relieve themselves, saw that it was pitch black outside the house, and lit a white ash and went out.
Knowing that just after coming out of the hut, Guo Shunyu saw a figure outside the door of the house sneakily looking inside, he was startled, fixed his eyes on the thin and tall man, and then looked at the clothes on his body, and quickly breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Daughter-in-law, how did you come out in the middle of the night." ”
Saying that, Guo Shunyu took the candle to greet him, but found that his wife in front of the door was wearing a shawl, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and at this time he was even more stunned and ignored his meaning.
Guo Shunyu felt a little strange, and subconsciously called out again, and then the wife in front of him turned his head sharply, and a cold light flashed on his hand, and he pounced on Guo Shunyu.
Guo Shunyu was stunned in the same place, before meeting his wife's hair was very messy, dry as dry grass, Guo Shunyu could not help but frown, he remembered that his wife's hair was very soft and long, even if he got up at night, he would not let himself look like this, at this time, Guo Shunyu suddenly remembered what happened in the temple half a month ago, looked up sharply, and found that the person had already come to him.
Guo Shunyu didn't have time to think much, the white wax in his hand was thrown at his feet with a flame, and the flames instantly flew onto the man's clothes and burned, and the man saw that things were exposed, and he couldn't care about the flames on his body, so he rushed to the door.
Guo Shunyu shouted, "Where to escape!" ”
Then two quick steps to press this person to the ground, this side of the movement is big, usually close neighbors heard the noise rushed over, help Guo Shunyu to subdue this person, to open the hair to see, the hair is fake, hidden under the wig is a bald monk.
Guo Shunyu took a closer look, it was the one he saw that day, he was angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a bite: "It is indeed you!" ”
Early the next morning, Guo Shunyu ran to the mansion to report the case, and informed the prefect of what he had seen and heard that day, and the prefect found out that the teacher in the temple had been poisoned to death half a month ago, and it was the monk who had been coveting the teacher Fu's highly respected position and was not willing to bend to it.
After that day, the monk knew that his affairs were already known, and secretly listened for a long time to learn Guo Shunyu's identity, so he sneaked into Guo Shunyu's home at night and prepared to start, so as not to cause the East Window incident in the future, but he did not expect to be hidden by Guo Shunyu, and he himself was sent to the guillotine.
It can be said that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, Guo Shunyu escaped the disaster with a move, and the monk also had evil consequences because of the idea of doing evil again, so it is said that people can not take the initiative to do good deeds in this life, but they cannot do evil, otherwise, they will always get karma.
