01, the bachelor steals chickens and dogs, and goes into the old house to pick up strange books.
During the Song Dynasty and Yuanfeng period, there was a village in the Qizhou area called Xishan Village. There is a bachelor in the village named Zhang Dafu. Although Zhang Dafu's name is Dafu, he is neither rich nor good luck, and he is nearly thirty years old, but he still lives a bachelor life of "one person eats enough for the whole family and does not starve". His parents died early, he was alone in an old house, and his life was naturally lonely. Because he didn't have a job, and he didn't like to find things to do, Zhang Dafu, who was not doing business, began to steal chickens and dogs.
However, he has a habit of being a thief, that is, he never steals things in his own village, but chooses to go to a neighboring village to steal things. Although he was caught stealing things himself and was beaten several times, he always felt that it was better to be a thief than to go out to work, so people became muddy. One night, Zhang Dafu went into an old mansion in Dongshan Village, a neighboring village, to steal something. But the old mansion was sinister, and there was nothing to steal. However, he saw a large black cat on the offering table of the old mansion. Zhang Dafu was angry that he did not steal anything, so he casually threw a stone over.
The stone hit the big black cat. The big black cat "meowed" and jumped down. However, the black cat's melon seed crossed a book, and the book fell off the offering table. Zhang Dafu walked over, picked up the book and looked at it, and when he looked at the moonlight, he found that the cover of the book had changed beyond recognition, and he only saw two words on the cover, one word was "sheng", and two words seemed to be "book". I opened the inner page of the book and found that it was all written with the names of people, and there was a name that was the same as his name, zhang Dafu. Zhang Dafu scolded and threw the book to the ground, and then jumped out of the old mansion and prepared to go home.
02, when he saw the lights in the widow's house, he thought about stealing something.
Zhang Dafu came out of the old mansion and felt a little frustrated. He thought to himself: If I don't go out today to get something to go home, then if I can't get out for a while, has it become an empty space? It is said that thieves do not go empty, no, since I became a thief, I have to find a way to get something home, if I can't steal a thing, it is the most unlucky thing, no matter what it is, I always have to take one, if I really can't get it, I have to pull a bubble of in his yard. Thinking of this, he came to the outside of a house. The owner of this family is no one else, it is Ma Cuihua, a widow from Dongshan Village.
Zhang Dafu thought to himself: Although this horse widow is widowed, I heard that she followed a Daoist aunt to learn The Taoist Law, and often followed the dojo and rituals, and will definitely earn some money, I might as well jump into her yard to see what valuable things are, steal a few of them to go home, and it is not an empty trip. Thinking of this, he found a low wall of the horse widow's house, "whizzed" up to the wall, and then jumped into the horse widow's yard.
At this time, the horse widow was sleeping in the bed and reading a book. She seemed to hear something going on outside, so she got up and looked, but in the end she found nothing, so she sat down at her desk again and continued to drink tea and read. Through the window of Ma Widow's house, Zhang Dafu vaguely saw the light hanging on the bed of Ma Widow flickering, shining on the peach wood sword hanging on the wall, and a Yin-Yang mirror commonly used by Taoists, which was somewhat mysterious.
03, just entered the house and saw the south wall, there was an old man standing on the wall.
When Zhang Dafu was thinking about which room he wanted to enter the widow's room to steal something, he inadvertently looked up, but found a strange old man standing on the south wall of the widow's house! In the bright moonlight, Zhang Dafu could clearly see the old man's dress: the old man was dressed in the costume of an official, he also wore a black pointed hat on his head, and he was still holding a long rope in his hand. At this time, he suddenly felt that something in his body ran out, and Zhang Dafu quickly grabbed a slice of ginger and stuffed it into his mouth, trying to wake himself up. At this time, he suddenly found that the end of the strange old man's rope seemed to be followed by a confused shadow. The shadow was about the same height as Zhang Dafu, but his face was blurred, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
Zhang Dafu was so frightened that he almost screamed, but years of stealing had made people much bolder. He lowered his head and hid behind a plank under the widow's window. The strange old man on the wall turned around and smiled at Zhang Dafu, that smile was a little frightening, Zhang Dafu looked frightened. He was wondering what to do. The door of Widow Zhang's house opened, and Widow Zhang came out, and she seemed to see the strange old man standing on the south wall. However, widow Zhang did not speak, she just stared at the strange old man for a while, and then looked at the blurred shadow with the mirror in her hand, then turned and entered the house, and then closed the door.
Zhang Dafu was also surprised by the performance of the horse widow. He knew that the horse widow had learned the aisle method and had seen a lot, and she was not so afraid or strange about this strange old man standing on the south wall of her house, which made Zhang Dafu feel puzzled: Is this strange old man familiar with the horse widow, but why has this strange old man been walking around the wall of the horse widow's house, followed by the blurred shadow of who is it? Why are they able to walk around such a small wall without falling?
04, stealing something just wanted to leave, but was seen by the widow.
Zhang Dafu felt that this strange old man was not normal, and he also felt that this horse widow was not normal. He decided to steal something and leave the land of right and wrong. At this time, the widow went to the kitchen to get something, and Zhang Dafu quickly sneaked into the widow's bedroom, wanting to take the opportunity to get a gold and silver bracelet or something like that, and quickly slipped away. But he just took a necklace on the table, and the horse widow came from the kitchen.
Zhang Dafu quickly hid in a pile of debris in the corner of Ma Widow's house, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out. At this moment, the horse widow came in, and she seemed to perceive something abnormal in the room. So she brought a sword from the wall, pointed at the pile of debris, and said, "That little hairy thief, dare to break into my room?" Don't show up yet! Zhang Dafu saw that he could no longer hide, so he had to walk out with his head down.
Zhang Dafu put the necklace on Ma Widow's desk, and then said embarrassedly: "Ma Widow, I know you, I'm really sorry, I haven't eaten anything in two days, I want to steal something to sell, so I can buy something for myself to eat." The horse widow sighed: "Zhang Dafu, I also know you, you are a bachelor, so old, or do not do the right thing, really failed to live up to your parents' expectations." ”
05, there was a sudden knock at the door, and the beautiful widow lifted the quilt.
The two men were talking, when suddenly there was a knock at the door, and a low voice came from outside the door: "Widow Ma, open the door quickly, I want to come in and find someone." When the widow heard this, her face could not help but be shocked, and she quickly climbed into the bed, then lifted the quilt and said to Zhang Dafu: "Zhang Dafu, you quickly hid in my bed." Zhang Dafu was a little embarrassed to see that the horse widow was so active, and he said in a broken voice: "Horse widow, I still want to give the boy a body, I am afraid." ”
Widow Ma whispered, "Zhang Dafu, you old man, where do you want to go, it is a yin cha outside, he came to find you, your courage just now has been taken away by him, and now he is ready to hook your soul." Don't hurry up and hide in, otherwise, once your soul is taken away by him, your soul will be gone, and you will die. Hearing the horse widow say this, Zhang Dafu was terrified, and he rushed over and hid in the bed behind the horse widow, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
Widow Ma told Zhang Dafu not to speak, and then, with a fan, she pushed open the bedroom door and shouted loudly to the outside: "The door is not closed, you can come in." With that, she sat down again on the edge of the bed. After a while, I saw a person walking in from outside the door, this person was no one else, it was the strange old man who was standing on the wall just now, but behind him was a confused and somewhat transparent person. And the strange old man still had a book in his hand, and the book was opened, revealing the names of many people.
06, the bachelor hides in the bed, and the horse widow finds the truth.
The strange old man walked to the widow's bed and whispered to the widow, "Widow Ma, you are a learner who knows how to slay demons and exorcise demons, but I am acting on orders, and our well water does not violate the river water." Today, I came to look for a man named Zhang Dafu, and I just saw him walk into your room. The horse widow took the book in the strange old man's hand, and through the creaky nest of the horse widow, Zhang Dafu saw the cover of the book, which had two big words written: "Sheng" and "Book".
"This is a book of life and death, right?" But why isn't there a dead word? The horse widow pointed to the strange book and asked the strange old man. The strange old man sighed and said, "This book <生死簿>was originally placed in a haunted mansion for a cat ghost to guard, who knew that this cat ghost was very playful and broke the cover of this book." Widow Ma turned to the page with Zhang Dafu's name written on it, stared at the name for a while, and then asked strangely: "You see, there is a small hole under the 'big' word of Zhang Dafu, is it that the word 'tai' was broken by the cat ghost?" Therefore, the person you want to arrest today is not Zhang Dafu, but Zhang Taifu. ”
The strange old man took the Book of Life and Death, read it carefully for a while, and then sighed and said, "It seems that I am also dizzy." Forget it, today I will not arrest people, tomorrow I will go to find that Zhang Taifu again. As soon as the words fell, the confused shadow on the other end of his rope flew away. At this time, Zhang Dafu obviously felt his body shake again, as if something had run into his body.
07, the bachelor escaped the disaster, and married a widow to die well.
Through the window of Ma Widow's house, Zhang Dafu saw the strange old man jump on the south wall, and then quickly disappeared under the moonlight, and Zhang Dafu breathed a long breath. At this time, the horse widow quickly let Zhang Dafu out of her bed, and then asked him to hurry home. Zhang Dafu experienced this life and death disaster, as if he had an epiphany, he knelt down to the widow Ma: "Thank you Sister Ma for saving your life, I swear, from now on, I will no longer steal, but will work hard to support myself." "When the widow saw that Zhang Dafu had repented, she asked him to come back to her tomorrow.
The next day, Zhang Dafu came to Ma Widow's house as promised, and Ma Widow pointed to a few fields under her window, smiled and said to Zhang Dafu: "Zhang Dafu, I see that you are strong and strong, I am a woman's family, I can't do these farm work." I'll give you all this farmland. You work hard and grow some grain and vegetables, and it is better to live. Zhang Dafu nodded, and then picked up the hoe and went to work in the field.
From then on, he worked every day in the fields of the widow's family, planting crops and vegetables, and keeping the acres of the widow's family in order. After a long time, The horse widow and Zhang Dafu had a relationship, and a year later, they became relatives. Later, Zhang Dafu and Ma Widow also gave birth to two children, these two children are very sensible, and when they grow up, one becomes an official and the other is in business, and Zhang Dafu also enjoys decades of wealth before he dies without illness.
