Who said that the world's crows are as black as black, do you remember the white-necked crows of your childhood?
Before Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty achieved his great cause, he was made the Grand Sima by Liu Xuan and commanded the soldiers and horses of Thirty Counties throughout the country. Although they wielded great power, their forces were scattered. Wang Chang, who was pretending to be the son of Emperor Hancheng, was defeated and fled, leading more than a thousand guards into Sichuan. Along the way, Wang Chang's pursuers were in hot pursuit. A reward of 100,000 yuan was also offered for the capture of Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor.

Liu Xiu had no choice but to throw away his armor and disband his guards to flee in Shu. On this day, he fled to Jiumachi (now a small temple) in the Maliu land boundary of Gongxing Township. The locals were holding a meeting, and Liu Xiu had a full meal at the Jiumachi Temple, and Geng immediately left the temple.
Iftar
Just as the so-called panic does not choose the road, see the road and go. Come to a big river, a look at the turbid waves of the river, there are no bridges on the river, no boats in the river. Anxious, Liu Xiu scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks. I had no choice but to go up the river. This river is the Mianyuan River. It is the season of summer and autumn, and the river is soaring. This river trail rises high and the water retreats to the bottom. Liu Xiu struggled through the mud and turned over a large bay. Turning his head to see, a team of pursuing soldiers also rushed here, Liu Xiu's heart was fried, and he thought: Today will undoubtedly die. Look up and come to a photo slope. It was a sunny slope with some weeds growing around it, and a few acres of land didn't even grow a single tree.
farm cattle
On the slope, a farmer barked a water-fed ox and his bent plow, wearing a bucket hat and a cloak, holding a long strip of cattle, and was plowing the ground without hurry. Seeing that the pursuing soldiers were about to pursue, Liu Xiu had no choice but to arch his hands high: Big brother save my life!
The people in the plough field didn't bother to lift their heads and said: There is only the head of the plough ditch hidden here! It is said that Bi will put the plough head into the soil, and put it on the back of the cow one by one, and the cow will bend at the waist, spew out white gas, pull the plough head and leave. Watching the pursuers turn across the Great Bay. Liu Xiu hurriedly stooped down and fell asleep in the plough ditch. The ploughman leisurely plows his land. A team of pursuing soldiers also chased here. A group of small finches with large fingers, sharp claws, and hemp-colored feathers shouted in a panic: Plough ditch head! Plough ditch head!

Suddenly a flock of crows flew from the sky, croaking. More than a dozen flew on the edge of the plough ditch where Liu Xiu was hiding, constantly flipping the dirt block with their mouths, pecking while turning over: Croak, chew your teeth, black heart, turn you out and peck! The dozens of crows were whirling and whirling on the slope.
The pursuing army will look everywhere, the slope is slippery, there are some weeds around, and there is not a single tree on the slope. There was only one ploughman in the ploughing field, and the officer told the soldiers to go. The little finches screamed in horror: Plough gully head! Plough ditch head! plough! ditch! head!
The ploughman glanced at the finches and raised them to whip the ox stripe. The mud scum on the whip ran straight to the group of small birds with sharp mouths and sharp claws with a terrible whistling sound. The flock of finches was so frightened that they drilled into the grass and escaped from the stone crevices.
Warlord
The officer who led the team looked up the slope. He also ordered the soldiers to look around at the grass around them. Then he took the centaurs and left.
Liu Xiu climbed out of the head of the plough and asked: What is this place?
The ploughman said smoothly: There is a Dapeng Temple on the top and an eagle slope on the bottom. If you still want to live, Qingping will go to hide from the disaster.
Liu Xiu wanted to ask again, and the ploughman roared the cattle to carry the plough and flew away.
Liu Xiu
A group of old crows surrounded the few willow trees on the riverside, happily swirling, making a scraping and cheerful cry, Liu Xiu had no choice but to thank the angel in black for saving his life. Pointing to the silver medal on his chest that his mother had given him, he said, "I have nothing to give, so I will give you this silver medal." After saying that, the silver medal was taken off and lost, and the crows burst up, and the silver medal suddenly disappeared.
Liu Xiu turned to those little birds and said: The sharp claws of the mouth are not big, and the feathers are harmful to the scum. Don't do good things and do bad things, and when you see the disaster, you will drill into the forest. Give you the name of the heavenly sparrow, and no one you call the head of the plough ditch, and when the man arrives, he will become dumb.
Since then, there have been drill birds at the head of the Hanwang River. No one screamed at the head of the plough ditch! I heard footsteps and hurried to hide.
White-necked crow
After these crows won the silver medal, each crow grew two fingers wide and one turn of snow-white feathers on its neck, to show that this was given by the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu XiuguangWu. The common people called them: white-necked crows. Are white-necked crows extinct, or migratory? But it should be believed that the crows in the world are not ordinary black. (Luo Jianyun/Text)
