During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a reader in the small mountain village named Liao Fangshan, whose family was still relatively well-off, and did not have much talent to learn, but he cultivated the elegant taste of the literati indulging in landscapes and rivers, and liked to climb high and look far, sing loudly, and express feelings.
On this day, when the spring was bright, Liao Fangshan came to be interested, let the book boy carry the food box, follow behind, and go to the mountain to enjoy the scenery. When he reached the top of the mountain, he stood on a boulder, stretched out his arms and recited a poem, expressing his pride and ambition, and he couldn't help but feel excited, and his eyes were filled with tears, and he was moved.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Poetry is good poetry, but unfortunately, fate is not good, and ambitions cannot be realized." Liao Fangshan looked back, but it was a middle-aged scribe. He was unhappy in his heart and asked, "You can't help but look down on people, are you a fortune teller?" How convincing! ”
The middle-aged scribe laughed and said, "I am not a fortune teller, but I am good at hyphenation, and from your verses, I have tasted the mysteries in the words between the lines, and the untimely stomach, so I deduced this conclusion." Then, he dismantled Liao Fangshan's verses word for word, quoted the scriptures, extended them, and said that the head was the Tao.
Liao Fangshan was impressed in his heart and hurried forward to see the salute. The middle-aged scribe hurriedly returned the salute and reported himself to his home, with the surname of QingCang, a hermit in the mountains. Liao Fangshan also told his own life, instructed the book boy to put the wine and food on the grass, and pulled Shi Qingcang to drink. The two drank from the middle of the day until sunset, fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Suddenly, the scream of the book boy woke liao Fangshan, and he opened his eyes, only to see the book boy pointing at Shi Qingcang, and his face was now frightened. He looked at Shi Qingcang and was shocked, only to see that Shi Qingcang had turned into a fox, huge in size, like a domestic dog.
Shi Qingcang also woke up, quickly restored his body, laughed twice, and said, "Forgive me for not being able to drink, I accidentally appeared in my original form, so I didn't scare you." The bookboy trembled and said, "Scared enough, my crotch is wet." ”
Liao Fangshan looked over, and the book boy really pulled the urine in the crotch of his pants, and couldn't help but laugh. After a while, after stopping the laughter, he bowed to Shi Qingcang and said, "I didn't think that Brother Shi was a fox immortal, but now that I see it, it is indeed a blessing in three lifetimes!" ”
Shi Qingcang hurriedly returned the salute and said a few words of humility. Liao Fangshan had the heart to get acquainted, so he invited Shi Qingcang to his house as a guest, Shi Qingcang agreed to come down, and the two of them walked hand in hand on the moonlight, and the book boy carried the empty box and went to Liao's house.
When they arrived at home, Liao Fangshan instructed his wife Liu Shi to rectify the wine and vegetables and treat Shi Qingcang with great hospitality. The two drank until about three o'clock before they dispersed, and Liao Fangshan placed Shi Qingcang in the guest room to rest. Shi Qingcang stayed at Liao's house for three days before he resigned.
Since then, Shi Qingcang has come to the Liao family every five times, and the two have become good friends who talk about everything. Sometimes, the two travel together in the mountains and rivers, laughing and proud of the mountains and forests, indulging in the scenery. Unconsciously, the two have known each other for three or five months, and their feelings are very deep.
However, Liu Shi is a shrew and narrow-minded. Every time Shi Qingcang came, Liao Fangshan would drink with him until late at night, which not only affected her rest, but also cleaned up the next morning. At first, because of the fear of Shi Qingcang being a fox fairy, he did not dare to attack. After a long time, she found that Shi Qingcang was no different from ordinary people, and she did not see how much ability he had, so she developed a disrespectful heart, spoke harshly and harshly, and threw a cold face to Shi Qingcang. Shi Qingcang did not think so, and still talked and laughed with Liao Fangshan, indulging in drinking.
On this day, Shi Qingcang came again, and Liu Shi was resentful, so he put a cockroach in the chicken and disgusted Shi Qingcang. While drinking, Shi Qingcang found the cockroach, stunned for a moment, used chopsticks to pick up the cockroach, put it in his mouth and ate it, and kept praising the deliciousness.
Liao Fangshan was extremely embarrassed on the side, eager to drill into the cracks in the ground, and he kept apologizing to Shi Qingcang. Shi Qingcang sighed and raised a glass and said, "Brother Liao, you and I have exhausted our fate, we have dried this cup of wine, so don't go over, you have to take care of yourself!" "After saying that, I took a drink from my glass and went away.
Since then, Shi Wencang has never appeared again. Liao Fangshan scolded Liu Shi for a good meal, but it did not help.
Soon after, Liu became pregnant with her third child. October expires, and it's the night of childbirth. Liao Fangshan invited the midwife early, boiled hot water in the pot, and waited for the good news. However, when the child was born, there was a difficult birth, and the midwife spent all her strength and effort, and it took more than an hour to deliver the child.
Liao Fangshan was originally waiting outside the house, but then he couldn't help it, and when he entered the house, he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, sweating profusely.
Because it took too long and bled too much, Liu's fainted past. In the end, the midwife gave up, stood up, and said apologetically: "Sorry, I have tried my best, and the children and adults may not be able to keep it." Liao Fangshan heard the words and couldn't help but cry loudly. His mother and xiao yahuan also cried, his father squatted outside the house and cried, and the midwife felt guilty and cried. The room burst into tears, and it was unbearable to hear.
At this time, there was a sudden rapid knock at the door, which was particularly harsh in the quiet of the night. Then, Shi Qingcang's voice sounded, "Open the door quickly, it is important to save people, I have a way to keep the mother and child safe." ”
This sentence, just like a round of warm sun appeared in the cold winter of the ninth month, Liao Fangshan was overjoyed, rushed out to open the courtyard door, "pounced" on his knees in front of Shi Qingcang, dragged and cried, and said: "Brother Shi, you must save my wife and children!" ”
Shi Qingcang pulled him up and said, "Brother Liao, but please rest assured, I am here to ensure the safety of their mother and son." It turned out that Shi Qingcang had a whim tonight, pinched his fingers, and learned that Liu Shi was in difficulty, so he quickly picked Huan Yang Herb and other medicinal materials, made pills, and hurried to rescue Liu Shi and the baby.
Entering the house, Shi Qingcang blew a breath at Liu Shi, and Liu Shi slowly woke up. He took out a cockroach, pinched Liu's nose, and was about to stuff it into her mouth. Liao Fangshan's hand was fast, and he grabbed him and scolded, "I can't imagine that you, a fox immortal, are actually angry about Liu's rude behavior, and it is really reasonable to come to take revenge on her at this time!" ”
Shi Qingcang reached out his hand to Liao Fangshan's body a little, and Liao Fangshan was sure to be unable to move in the local area. Shi Qingcang smiled and said, "This is a panacea, not an ordinary cockroach." With a flick of his finger, the cockroach burrowed into Liu's throat and slid into his belly. Liao Fangshan could also move.
After a while, Liu's spirit came, the child fell to the ground, the mother and child were safe, and the family was overjoyed. When they looked for Shi Wencang to express their gratitude, they found that he was long gone. It turned out that Shi Wencang used magic to transform the pill into the appearance of a cockroach and tease Liu Shi.
Since then, Liu Shi has changed the problem of the shrew and treated people kindly. She felt sorry for Shi Qingcang, and told Liao to go up the mountain to look for it and apologize. Liao Fangshan called out all over the mountains for several days, but Shi Wencang never appeared.
Treating people well is the most basic courtesy of being a human being, and we must not take it lightly and offend people invisibly. And when dealing with rude people, you can be generous, and if you smile, you must not be grumpy. This story adopts an absurd penmanship, which lies in borrowing things to persuade the world, and has nothing to do with feudal superstition.
