Once upon a time, in a village in the south of Fujian Province, there was a young man who sold tofu for a living, and others called him Sanlang, who was dependent on his paralyzed mother in bed, and Sanlang thought that he would live an ordinary life, but the arrival of a starling changed his life.
Saburo goes out early every day to sell tofu and grinds tofu at home at night. One night, he was grinding tofu, when he suddenly heard a knock, he quickly put down his work to see what was going on?
Walking to the windowsill, Saburo saw the cat next door running in with a black bird, and seeing that the bird had been bitten by the cat, he quickly drove the cat away.
After the cat left, Saburo held the bird in his hand and found that the bird turned out to be a mynah, but it was already dying, and Saburo took some tofu and fed it to eat.
When the mynah finished eating, Saburo put it on his bedside, put down the tent to let it rest, and continued to grind the tofu. When Saburo went to sell tofu during the day, the mynah stayed at home to rest.
In the evening, Sanlang came home and fed the mynah some tofu, every day, after a few days of recuperation, the starling's injury finally healed, and it began to fly out of the tent to tease Sanlang to play.
Saburo's mother was not very happy when she knew, saying that he was not in shape and teasing a mynah. Later, in order to please Saburo's mother, the mynah played with her and made her old man very happy.
One night, Sanlang returned home with a sad face, and his mother was very worried, asking him if he had any concerns, it turned out that Sanlang had not earned enough tax this month, and the head of the Yamen was in a hurry.
After the mynah heard this, he kept flying out of the window, it flew and flew, flew to the front of a luxurious building, stopped at the tree outside the window, looked inside, and saw the landlord inside the house counting gold yuanbao.
Counting several times, the landlord walked to the back room with a bunch of gold yuanbao, and the mynah took the opportunity to fly in and grab a certain amount of gold yuanbao and flew back to Sanlang's house, which placed the gold yuanbao on the table.
The next day, Saburo woke up and saw the gold yuanbao on the table, and was so surprised that after Sanlang's mother knew about it, she thought it was the gold yuanbao given to them by the gods, and she prostrated her head and thanked the gods.
After the mynah had been so named a few times, Saburo was no longer poor. After the landlord lost a few gold treasures, he went to the yamen to report to the officials, and the other side strengthened the defense.
This night, Brother Bado ran to the landlord's house with the title of Golden Yuanbao, and when he was just about to leave, the door automatically closed. Then a group of people came out and took the mynah back to Yamen.
After arriving at the yamen, the county official interrogated the starling one by one, but it just did not open his mouth, probably the official forgot that the starling was a bird.
After asking for some time, I did not see the mynah open my mouth, the county official ordered the mynah's feathers to be plucked, and the next person received the order to move his hands, and when the wings were left, the county official ordered that the hairs that left the wings should not be plucked.
The starling still did not open his mouth, and the county magistrate ordered it to be hit thirty times, and everyone laughed darkly, how can a bird fight? At this time, the landlord ran to the county official and whispered a little, and the county official ordered the release of the starling.
But the crowd followed behind to see where it flew, and the mynah flew to a sugar cane field and stopped, and the crowd rushed up and cut the sugar cane. The mynah saw them coming and flew to another sugar cane field, and a group of people ran after them and slashed at the sugar cane.
The sugarcane cut a lot and did not find the gold yuanbao, the landlord could only admit that he had lost a lot of sugarcane money, the starling flew away, but did not fly back to Sanlang's house, and found a place to stay for a while, until the feathers grew again, and the county officials no longer flew back with it.
Sanlang, who had not seen Brother Mynah for a long time, was very happy, and Sanro still let Brother Mynah sleep at the head of his bed. This night, Saburo's mother chatted with him and lamented that there was no shortage of anything in the family now, except for a daughter-in-law.
Saburo is alone, who would want to marry someone who makes tofu? When the mynah heard this, he had a plan and flew to the lady in the backyard of Yamen and took her beloved golden hairpin back to Sanlang's house.
The young lady missed her beloved golden hairpin and became ill, and it became more and more serious every day. Therefore, the county official went to the City God Temple to ask for an auspicious, and when the mynah learned about it, he followed him to the City God Temple and secretly hid behind the City God, suggesting that the county official wanted Miss to be well and must let Miss marry Sanlang, who sold tofu.
The county official did not know who Sanlang was, but the person next to him told him that there was indeed this person, and the county official was convinced of The City God, and really married the young lady to Sanlang, and the young lady's illness really got better. From now on, Saburo sells tofu, while Miss stays home to take care of Saburo's mother.
At the end of the writing, the kind Sanlang saved the injured mynah and left it at home, and in order to repay Sanlang's life-saving grace, the mynah helped Sanlang get rid of poverty through his own ingenuity and talent, and also married his wife.
Good people must have good rewards, and they must be good people, so that they can have a good end.
