During the Ming Dynasty, there was a businessman named Hu Dahai in Anyi County, Nankang Province, who had a flexible mind, started from a seller in the silk satin village, and after more than twenty years of hard work, he finally opened a shop selling silk satin, although he could not enter the gold every day, but he was also well clothed.
Although Hu Dahai has a rich life, he has always had a regret in his heart, he was busy doing business in his early years, and now he is 45 years old, and he has not given birth to a son and a half daughter in twenty years of marriage.
And his daughter-in-law Li Cuilan is also worried, always blame his stomach for not fighting, ashamed of the old man, but also fiercely proposed: "Lord, or you marry another room." ＂
Hu Dahai is a man with feelings and righteousness, when he heard his wife say this, his heart was slightly angry and he couldn't bear to attack, so he sighed and said: "I, all my life, I only want to be white-headed with you, I just want to have a child, you are good to be born and nourish your body, let's find a way!" ＂
Hu Dahai believed that the Emperor Tian had paid off, and he found various famous doctors and goddesses in Langzhong, hoping to bring a child for the Hu family.
Cuilan was not idle, this day was the first day of the first month, she took her to the temple to offer incense, and sincerely prayed to Guanyin Niangniang that the heavens would grant her a son and ask for a peace charm.
On the way home, she saw a child crying so badly on the road that she went over and asked what was wrong.
The child was about 5 or 6 years old, a handful of tears and a handful of snot were about to deform, and Cuilan was not afraid, while coaxing, he took out a small handkerchief from his arms to help him wipe his face clean.
When the child saw that someone was paying attention to him, he couldn't stop crying and said, "My father is dead, and my mother has gone with someone, don't want me anymore!" He said and cried.
Cui Lan listened attentively and asked, "Then would you like to go home with me?" ＂
When the child heard this, he looked up and saw Cuilan's loving look, and he cried loudly and nodded his head.
In this way, Cuilan took the child home, Hu Dahai was not so happy, thinking: "It is really a blessing from Heaven, Bai picked up a son", immediately recognized him as a son, and named him Hu Dashan.
The couple secretly discussed that Dashan was related to them, and even if he picked it up, he should be as if he were a son and be well educated.
Coincidentally, Hu Dashan came less than half a year ago, and Hu Dahai and his wife's hearts were much wider, and Cuilan was unexpectedly pregnant!
The 46-year-old Hu Dahai finally grew old, the whole family was very happy, and Cuilan was even more afraid of holding the child in the palm of his hand, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth. Hu Dahai named his son Hu Dashu.
Now there are two children in the family, every day is lively and lively, the couple can be satisfied in their hearts, and life is full of taste.
Time was like an arrow, and Hu Dashu grew to three years old in the blink of an eye, running faster than a rabbit, and his skin was like a monkey. And Hu Dashan has been sent to the academy by Cuilan to study.
Hu Dahai, as for his part, did not do business as desperately as he did when he was young, but often took a big tree to play in the street.
One day, Hu Dahai led the tree to see the temple fair, the child did not mention how happy, one will eat sugar gourd, one will want sugar people, one will play with windmills, and at the end of the day Hu Dahai has been tired and breathless.
Near the evening, the temple fair gradually dispersed, but there were many children playing together at the temple fair, and the big tree also joined the children's play, the children played intensively, and the adults scattered to watch and rest.
Hu Dahai leaned on a tree, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It is indeed happy to be old and have children, but it is indeed very tired to accompany children!" ＂
He leaned on it like this, and unconsciously he took a nap, and mo was about a pillar of incense, and suddenly, he woke up from his sleep!
Look again, what about the son? A few children playing around are still there, but his son is gone! Scared him out of a cold sweat!
Hu Dahai hurried to look for it everywhere! First asked the children, but everyone did not know who was who, and then asked the parents around them, no one paid attention to one more child and one less child, let alone where to run.
At this time, someone said, "Oh, it seems that just now a few people carried a few children away, and we thought it was the children's family who took them away." ＂
Hu Dahai was anxious to look around, and walked around the entire temple fair, without seeing any children. When he got home, he mobilized his whole family and searched all over the city, but he looked around and did not see the three-year-old tree.
At this time, the hearts of the two sons were burning inside, and their hearts were like knives, and they could only hold their heads and cry.
Hu Dahai couldn't stop crying, and seeing that Cuilan was still crying so hard that his heart and lungs were torn apart, he made up his mind and said, "Even if I go to the ends of the earth, I have to get my child back." Tomorrow I will sell all the real estate in the family, put the silver into a cage to find it, and one day we will spend all the money in the family, and the child has not yet been recovered, and that day I will hang myself on the beam and see you again with my child in the next life. ＂
Cuilan listened and nodded unceasingly.
However, after looking for a year, there is still no news, the two mouths do not mention how anxious they are, living every day like a year, eating and sleeping badly, all relying on the idea of finding their children. And Cuilan, due to excessive thoughts about the child, eventually fell ill, and nightmares still murmured her son's name.
At this time, Hu Dashan was already ten years old, and when he heard that his mother was ill, he hurriedly asked his master to leave and go home to visit.
Halfway to the road, Dashan saw a big uncle talking to a child at the roadside noodle stall, the child was gambling not to eat, the uncle coaxed him with good words, the child pushed the noodles, and said angrily: "I want to find my mother, I want to find my mother." ＂
Dashan fixed his eyes on it, how could this child look so much like his brother? He quickly ran back to his home not far from here, and when he saw Hu Dahai, he couldn't help but pull him out, fortunately they hadn't left yet!
Hu Dahai was about to question his son at first, but he saw Dashan point with his hand and said, "Father, do you see that child looks like a big tree?" ＂
The sea walked over, couldn't believe his eyes, and shouted involuntarily in his mouth: "Big tree." ＂
The boy also raised his head, and the sea shouted a few more times: "Big tree, big tree come to Daddy." ＂
The boy really ran over and threw himself into the arms of the sea.
Hu Dahai picked up the child and cried loudly, "Son, son, I can find you!" This cry frightened the child and he cried loudly.
And the uncle who had just gone to give the money heard the crying and rushed over, and the sharpshooter snatched the child away, held it in his arms, and said, "Ah Niu, don't cry, don't cry!" ＂
As soon as he coaxed, this child really didn't cry.
Hu Dahai looked at this old man, and this old man also looked at Hu Dahai, and the two asked at the same time, "Who are you?" How do you rob my son? ＂
Two people quarreled on the street, you dragged me, I pulled you, and they all said they wanted to report to the officials!
It is said that Hu Dashan obeyed his father's arrangement and hurried home to tell his mother the news of finding his brother.
When Dashan came home and saw his mother lying dying on the bed, tears were about to come, and he shouted: "Mother, the child is back, how did you become like this?" ＂
Cui Lan heard that dashan had returned, and said angrily, "It's okay for my mother, but I haven't been able to eat it lately." ＂
As soon as Hu Dashan heard it, he understood that his mother missed her brother day by day, and now she couldn't even eat, so he carefully took out a small sachet from his arms, handed it to his mother, and said: "Mother, what do you see here?" ＂
Cui Lan narrowed her eyes and said excitedly, "Where did this come from?" Give it to me! ＂
Cuilan took the small sachet from Hu Dashan's hand, and asked Dashan to take a pair of scissors to carefully unseat the stitches of the sachet, which contained a peace charm and a small piece of peach wood.
Dashan then told his mother in detail about what he had just seen his brother and his father's search for Lord Zhixian.
Cuilan held the small sachet in the palm of her hand, wept and said, "My son, I didn't expect to see you in my mother's lifetime!" Turning around, he instructed Dashan to prepare food for her, and she had to hurry up and see her son! Now I haven't been dripping water for a few days, and I don't even have the strength to walk.
Hu Dashan saw that his mother had finally regained his will to survive and happily went to the kitchen to work.
And Hu Dahai and the uncle believed that they were pulling each other to go to the county court, above the court, and the two people also did not give in to each other, and both asked for justice from Lord Zhixian.
Hu Dahai said, "See your lord, my name is Hu Dahai, I lost my son a year ago, and today I finally found the evil man who abducted my son, it is him!" Ask the adults to punish him for the crime of abducting a child and sentence his son back to me! ＂
The uncle was also not willing to look down on weakness, saying: "My name is Zhao Tianhu, this child I raised since I was a child, this year is four years old!" This man tried in vain to rob my son, and asked the adults to judge the child to me, and please punish him for the crime of robbery! ＂
When the adults in Zhixian saw that the two people said that this was their children, he first asked the children to recognize them.
But this child, call him a big tree, he promised, called him A Niu, he also promised, told him to go with the sea, he was willing, told him to go with the tiger and did not resist.
The lord of Zhixian county called for circumstantial evidence again, but everyone saw a lot of hilarity, but they were unwilling to mix it up, and no one could say it clearly, only that the sea did lose a child a year ago.
Lord Zhixian couldn't judge the case, and when he thought about it, he finally came up with a solution, and he was shocked: he said: "There is only one child, but there are two families, then there must be one person who is impersonating or one person is abducted!" Surely one of you two is lying! Be the bad guys!
As for who the bad guys are, I have to investigate, and before I do, on the principle that no one bad guy can be spared, you both have to go to jail! ＂
Hu Dahai quickly knelt down and said, "Lord, shut us all up!" But after locking us up, is it okay to put that child in my Hu family? ＂
Lord Zhixian said, "That's not okay, in order to show fairness and justice, this child will be raised in my prefect's house first!" That's it, lock both of you up! Retire. ＂
But the next day, the prefect passed on the two men to the church, saying, "Tell you the bad news, last night the child was not sleeping well, and actually sneaked out of my house, fell into the water and drowned." ＂
When Hu Dahai and Zhao Tianhu heard this bad news, they cried loudly, and the two of them cried with all their strength and tears, and the scene was really sad for the hearers and tears for the seers.
The jailer advised on the side: "Two of you, mourn, today Lord Zhixian still has to ask questions, and after asking questions, he may let you go back." ＂
The two of them came to the front of the church crying and crying.
Only to hear that the county lord sighed and said: "There are unpredictable storms in the sky, people have bad luck, this child is blessed, just died, now you have to bury the child, although the child is small, this white thing must also be done, I calculate, I also have to spend dozens of silver, plus the cost of the lawsuit, even if you two 80 two."
Now, if you two are willing to pay these 80 taels, I will judge the child to whom, and you will go back to the child to do white things. ＂
Hearing Lord Zhixian say this, Hu Dahai said without hesitation: "Lord Hui, I am his biological father, and I am willing to give these 80 taels." ＂
Zhao Tianhu over there said, "Adult, he is the child's biological father, he comes out!" ＂
Hearing Zhao Tianhu say this, Lord Zhixian slapped the hall in shock and shouted, "Good you Zhao Tianhu, you actually lied in front of this official!" Not really! ＂
Zhao Tianhu knelt up and said, "Lord Prefect, this child, hey, this child I bought from a trafficker, not my own child, this time I didn't dare to lie." ＂
"Oh! Do you have any evidence? ＂
"Back to the adult, I have evidence, five miles away, there is a Zhao family village, there is a Zhao Laosan in the village, he is a single stick rogue in the village, specializing in abducting and trafficking women and children. Last year I spent 20 taels to buy a child from him. Now that the child is dead, you made me spend 80 taels, I can only admit it. If the adults don't believe it, they can go to Zhao Family Village to ask him and know! ＂
Lord Zhixian quickly ordered people to go to Zhao Family Village to arrest him.
Not long after, Zhao Laosan was taken to court, and before he could be tortured, he truthfully confessed to the crime. The child was indeed abducted by him!
Now that the truth has come out, the child belongs to Hu Dahai, and the Zhixian lord ordered someone to detain Zhao Laosan and Zhao Tianhu and punish them separately.
Then the Zhixian adult said to Hu Dahai: "I heard that you only got this child at the age of 45, and after the child was lost, you sold your property and looked for children everywhere. Now the child belongs to you. ＂
Hu Dahai said, "Lord Xie, although the child is dead, let me see him again." ＂
The Zhixian adult laughed: "The child is four or five years old, how can he die so easily?" Take it home and raise it well! ＂
During the conversation, someone brought out a child from behind, and it was Cuilan who held the big tree hand, followed by the eldest son Dashan, and the family of four was reunited, and both fell to their knees, thanking the prefect!
Write at the end:
"Children will always be the heart meat of parents", the two sons of Hu Dahai in the text are willing to sell all the property in the seller to find the child, which is the work of parents! It's admirable!
Child trafficking has been going on since ancient times, and it has never been broken! Since becoming a mother, I can't see this, put myself in the shoes of the world, it is simply a devastating blow! However, buying and selling should be the same sin!
Although the text is fictional, xiaobian only wants to express: may the children be safe and secure around their parents, and grow up happily and happily! May there be no turning in the world!
