At the end of the Tang Dynasty, in a small village 20 miles from the county seat in Shandong Province, there lived a butcher surnamed Shi.

The stone butcher is 45 years old this year, but the people who don't know look at his appearance, only thirty years old, the body of the tendon flesh, the two eyes are clear and watery, it looks very big, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as he frowns, he can definitely scare the child into crying.

However, as the saying goes, you can't judge people by their appearance, and although the Butcher is tall and burly, he is honest and kind. So he was forced to become a butcher.

When he met a beggar on the road, he would not hesitate to give him some money. He will also do his best to help those in need. In his words, he hoped that his kindness would make up for his killing.

One day, someone in the village held a wedding and invited the stone butcher to kill a pig. When the stone butcher arrived there, the pig was soon killed. The master asked Master Shi to stay and eat. Before leaving, he packed some pork for the stone butcher to carry and fed his wife and children.

The stone butcher refused to eat meat at first, but he thought about it: his wife and son had not eaten meat for a long time, especially his son, who was only 8 years old this year, and it was time to replenish his body. So he took the meat, put it in a package, thanked his master, and hurried home.

Before I got home, the sky was getting darker. Just as he was passing a small ridge, he saw something moving in the grass. The stone butcher is also very bold, did not think too much, stride forward to see what is, take a closer look, the stone butcher was surprised, it turned out to be a small fox, only to see the little fox saw someone coming, squeaking, it is estimated that it is scared.

The stone butcher took a closer look, the little fox's hind legs were bleeding, obviously sandwiched in the clip, the stone butcher had a kind heart at this time, thinking that the fox was so small, it was estimated that it was not yet an adult, or let it go!

The stone butcher said to the fox, "Don't be afraid. I open the trap and you can get out. The little fox seemed to understand the stone butcher's words, squeaked twice, and then cleverly stopped moving. The stone butcher took some effort to open the trap, but he looked at the fox's hind legs, which were quite badly injured and still bleeding continuously, so the stone butcher tore his clothes into strips and bandaged the fox's wounds. The little fox looked at him, his eyes dripping and turning, very angry, the stone butcher smiled and said to it, "Let's go!" Be careful not to fall into the trap of the hunter again.

After that, as if thinking of something, he took the pork from his arms, threw it to the little fox, and said, "After being so badly injured, eat some meat to make up for it!" Then he turned and left. The little fox looked at the pork he had thrown on the ground, sniffed it, and then screamed twice at the stone butcher's back and ate it.

When the butcher returned home, his wife said to him, "After you leave today, the carpenter from the neighboring village will come to see you." He asked me to tell you that on the 5th of next month, his son got married. Please come to his house and kill the pigs. The stone butcher knew after listening to it.

On the 5th day of the second month, the stone butcher got up early and went to the neighboring village. Everything went smoothly as usual. Chen Carpenter invited Master Wang to his home for dinner, and brought some meat back to Master Wang.

He sang a little song, on the way home, he met the fox, so long gone, the leg injury has been healed, leaving only a shallow scar, the fox saw the king butcher, the king butcher thought the little fox was very cute, he crouched, asked: "Why are you here?"

Who knows, the little fox actually took advantage of the king butcher not to notice it, and then snatched the pork from his body, the king butcher was very angry, angrily roared: "Good little beast, that day I am good to save your life, but you are waiting for me here today, stealing my meat, you give me a stand, see I don't kill you."

The king butcher chased after the little fox while scolding the little fox, the little fox was too cunning, no matter how the king butcher shouted, he would not stop. After a while, the little fox finally stopped, put the flesh in his mouth on the ground, and ran away, and the king butcher felt inexplicable, this little fox was really too strange, but he didn't have time to think about it, because he found that he was lost. He took a lot of effort to rush home, and as soon as he opened the door, he rushed over directly with his wife's tearful eyes dancing, and the wang butcher did not understand why, and asked, "What's wrong?" How is that? The wife cried and said, "Why did you come back so late today?" There was a mudslide on the road from our village to the next. I thought something was wrong with you.

When the king butcher heard this, he told his wife about the fox's meat today. His wife listened and said to him, "It was so good that you saved the fox. He told you to change course from that road today or you'll be swept away by the mudslide.

Since then, Wang Butcher has become more kind and honest and helpful. He would say to everyone he met, "To help others is to help yourself!" Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil!

@ Meaning difficult to tell a story

Wang Butcher helped the little fox, did not expect that the little fox saved his life at a critical moment, in fact, everyone has a hand, can help themselves at a critical moment, after all, giving people rose hands have aftertaste!!
