Once upon a time, there was a small village that suffered a flood that was rare in a hundred years. People are busy grabbing rice in the fields, hoping to reduce the losses to an acceptable level.
After all, it was a flood beast, and the old man in the village was determined to let Zhou Pengfei go to the river embankment to open the gate and release water to relieve everyone from danger.
The village official found him and said to him in a deep tone: "Pengfei, the matter is urgent, you should go to the river embankment as soon as possible and open the sluice gates in order to protect everyone's property." ”
Zhou Pengfei kept nodding, pulled out his leg and ran. The village official shouted from afar: "Pengfei, everything also has priorities, no matter what you encounter, you must also open the floodgates in an hour, and the whole village will please you." ”
The flood is terrible, and the time is not waiting for me. The houses near the river embankment are soaked in water. The adobe house could not withstand the blisters, and collapsed violently, and the white mushroom-shaped dust soared into the sky. The wooden buildings slowly collapsed, then fell apart and disappeared with the flow of water.
In a hurry, Zhou Pengfei had to jump into the water. With all his strength, he wanted to remove the rough wood that crossed the gate from the water.
Zhou Pengfei choked on several sips of water before he reluctantly removed the coarse wood. Hatefully, the pile of garbage blocked it. The river cannot automatically open the floodgates, causing the river to flood backwards.
At the moment of crisis, Zhou Pengfei decided to make the next water. Suddenly, a life-saving voice came from afar: "Help, help, who will save me?" ”
Zhou Pengfei followed the prestige, and under the river embankment, a coffin board floated down the water. He quickly recognized that the person sitting on it was Liu Cuihua, a widow from the village.
To save or not to save? If you do not save your conscience, you will condemn yourself for a lifetime, and if you save, even if the floodgates are all opened, you will affect more places.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhou Pengfei instinctively approached the coffin board. The water was turbulent, and after several tosses, the widow Liu Cuihua was saved.
When Liu Cuihua came ashore, Zhou Pengfei plunged into the water again. Finally opened the floodgates.
There was a vast ocean everywhere, and half of the village was flooded into zeguo. Originally, some adobe houses that should not have collapsed collapsed one after another, and the wooden buildings were also crumbling, and Zhou Pengfei knew that he had broken into a catastrophe. He sighed and pounded his chest. He said that he had delayed the hour and had the heavy trust of the village official.
Cuihua comforted her forward: "As long as there are no casualties in the village, this is the great luck of misfortune." You did what you should have done and don't have to blame yourself. ”
Back at a safe place, the neighbor Chen Ermao saw him return, ran over angrily, grabbed Zhou Pengfei's collar, and roared viciously: "Do you have a vendetta against me?" Why not open the gate on time. Where do you let my family live? ”
Zhou Pengfei wanted to explain, and another neighbor rushed forward. He said, "You put the whole village at risk in order to save a widow, and your conscience let Mei Se eat it?" ”
The crowd also began to point fingers, saying that Zhou Peng was reckless in flying and that he was fully responsible.
The village official came to him and said, "Go to my house first, and when the flood recedes, you will build a new house for you." ”
The crowd was not convinced.
In particular, Chen Ermao shouted loudly: "Village official, you can't be eccentric, my house has also fallen, and it is a disaster of innocence, village official, you have to give me the master." ”
The village official was angry, did not talk at all, and left the crowd directly.
After the flood, everyone began to drain the flood, and then began to replant, and slowly Zhou Pengfei was alienated by everyone. On the contrary, there were rumors in the village, saying that the widow Liu Cuihua and Zhou Pengfei were secretly friendly, a bit of a husband and wife.
Zhou Pengfei did not think that he had done anything wrong, and felt that the villagers had misunderstood him and drank all day.
Liu Cuihua stepped forward and said to him, "Why do you care?" If you don't save me, your conscience will hurt; if you save me, you missed the time to open the floodgates and offended the villagers, and for the villagers who do not know the truth, you are at both ends of the wrong. So don't take the fault too seriously, just feel at ease! ”
Zhou Pengfei took a sip of wine and said, "But after all, that's my mistake!" ”
Jade Flower was speechless. At this time, the village official came over and also advised: "The lesser of the two injuries, you have done a good job, the villagers will understand in the future." ”
Zhou Pengfei shook his head and said, "It's difficult, the villagers have lost too much, how can they not complain about me?" ”
The village official laughed and said, "You care about other people's opinions, is that still yourself?" Do you have to do a good deed, you have to tell everyone and make everyone know? ”
Zhou Pengfei also wanted to explain, and Liu Cuihua also stepped forward and said, "If you are still so obsessed, then I really underestimate you, because your utilitarian heart is too heavy." ”
Zhou Pengfei was persuaded by the two people in turn, and gradually let go, no longer entangled in this issue.
The next day, Zhou Pengfei began to work in the fields, just like before.
After the waterlogging, the newly replanted late rice has just turned green. A lot of mung beans were planted on the field, just when the seeds were bearing.
Zhou Pengfei picked a few pods, took out the mung beans wrapped in pulp, and put them in his mouth, and a sweet taste rushed straight to the nose and throat.
Suddenly, there were animals on the hillside, and the movement was not small. From a distance, it was wild boar, and there were dozens of them.
No, it's a wild boar stepping on the spot. The villagers should be informed immediately to prevent wild boars from coming at night to steal food.
Zhou Pengfei, carrying a hoe, walked away, and did not see anyone along the way. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he happened to pass by Chen Ermao's temporary shack. So he shouted, "Are the Ermao brothers at home?" ”
When Chen Ermao saw that he was coming, he said coldly, "Why don't you accompany Widow Liu, why do you have time to come to me?" ”
Zhou Pengfei didn't want to explain too much, and said, "You hurry to the mouth of the South Village and call all the villagers out." Tonight a wild boar will come and spoil the grain. ”
Chen Ermao smiled and said, "Lang Lang Qiankun, Qingtian Bairi, are you lying about not reading the yellow calendar?" ”
Zhou Pengfei saw the situation and said urgently: "Brother Ermao, I have a misunderstanding with you, but it is related to the issue of the whole village's rations, please believe me, there are at least dozens of wild boars coming tonight." ”
Chen Ermao still didn't believe it, and Zhou Pengfei stomped his feet. He said: "After the waterlogging, there is not much food in the mountains, the new seedlings in the fields have just grown, and the wild boars can't find food." ”
At this time, Chen Ermao still took his words as the wind in his ears. There was no way, Zhou Pengfei had to go to the village official himself. Unfortunately, he went to the county and did not come back.
He told a few elders about the coming of the wild boar, and the old man had seen a lot of things, and hurried to greet the villagers to think of countermeasures.
However, it was getting dark, and the people in the village did not pay much attention to this matter, and several old people were still arguing, thinking that the wild boar might just pass by and not steal food.
Seeing that the villagers were more cautious and unbelieving to his words. He secretly decided that he would come to the vigil at night and not let the wild boar into the village.
He prepared torches in the fields and piled them on fire. Then pick up the gong and prepare to drive the herd of wild boars alone.
Late at night, the wild boar did come, constantly testing the fire, and using his nose to arch the fire shelf, Zhou Pengfei took out a copper gong and knocked hard, frightening the wild boar to flee everywhere.
Unexpectedly, the wild boar was very clever, and after several attempts, he found that he was alone, weak in strength, and bold. Started to go to Tanaka in batches to stampede and run wildly.
Zhou Pengfei repeated the same trick and knocked on the gong to drive away. Finally annoyed a few old boars, who surrounded him and tried to knock him down several times.
After several collisions, Zhou Pengfei gradually lost his strength and was already injured. The pain made his limbs numb and almost faint.
Zhou Pengfei saw that his death was imminent, at this time, more torches suddenly appeared, and everyone began to join the ranks of driving away wild boars, and Zhou Pengfei was paralyzed on the ground at this moment.
Looking up, it turned out that the village official had returned, because only he had a prestige. Relieved, he could no longer hold on and fainted.
When he woke up slowly, all the villagers looked at him with concern and asked him long and short questions.
At this time, Chen Ermao also went forward and said to him: "Brother Pengfei, I am not right, I did not tell you to the villagers in time, and almost killed you." ”
The village official also took the opportunity to say: "Chen Ermao, you almost missed a big thing, and now you have to feel bad!" You should learn from Pengfei and learn from him to be kind. ”
Chen Ermao nodded and said yes.
At this time, Liu Cuihua also said: "That day the flood opened the floodgates, the water was turbulent, the gates were blocked by debris, Pengfei was almost washed away by the water several times, he never said half a sentence, but blamed himself for delaying the hour, resulting in losses for the villagers." Borrowing wine every day to dispel my sorrows, as for saving me is just a show of hands. ”
At this moment, Chen Ermao lowered his head, and the villagers also showed an embarrassed expression.
Fortunately, someone laughed and changed the subject, saying: "Chen Clan is so protective of Pengfei, I am afraid that I am afraid that I will look at him." Why not take advantage of today's auspicious day and fulfill the good deeds of the two of them? ”
The village officials even took the lead in coaxing, and everyone was busy. Zhou Pengfei and Liu Cuihua each lowered their heads.
The village was full of laughter, and the story was full of joy.
The ant camels in the rain and has something to say: the protagonist is a very kind person. He did not care about his own safety, did not care that his house would collapse, and only wanted to solve the difficulties for the villagers.
Later, it was misunderstood by the villagers, making it once decadent and self-condemning.
Later, after Liu Cuihua's persuasion and the persuasion of the village officials, he began to return to normal, but he found that wild boars were rampant and wanted to stop it, but he did not get the trust of the villagers, and he went alone to carry everything.
If it were not for the timely return of the chairman of the villagers' committee, the consequences would not have been imagined.
And this story tells us that it is the right thing to do with a conscience. As the village official said: As long as the two ends harm each other, as long as they do not violate their conscience, the lesser and the more important ones can be clearly screwed out.
For Chen Ermao's personality, I do not make much evaluation, because in reality, this kind of person is not in the minority, as long as you observe more in your daily life, you can also make some discoveries.
This story is also a positive energy that leads people to be kind and enlighten people's hearts. But there are always good deeds everywhere in the chanting, and there are always good intentions in the wrong places. Therefore, to do good deeds should also be done with good intentions and according to ability.
