A long time ago, there was a loach that had been cultivating for 300 years and was about to turn into a refined human form, but it was caught by a man and taken home and eaten as a delicacy. The loach came to the king of Hades and shouted his grievances, but the king said, "This is your fate." ”
In a remote village, a poor scholar built a thatched hut by a pond. The pond is full of aquatic plants, and basically no one comes here. Scholars occasionally come to the pond to fish, and no one knows that there is a loach in this pond that has been cultivated for 300 years, and it will soon become a refined human form.
Loach has always yearned for the outside world, and concentrated on cultivation every day, wanting to transform into a human form as soon as possible. Seeing that it was about to succeed, Loach felt very excited when he thought about it.
One day, the weather was good, and the scholar went fishing in the pond when he had nothing to do. But he didn't want to catch this fast-growing loach, he looked at the fat and large loach, thinking that he could make soup for his pregnant wife today. In this way, the little loach became a delicacy on the table of the scholar's house. The little loach felt very wronged, so he came to Yan Wang with his soul and shouted injustice. After hearing this, the king said to it: "This is your fate, there is no way to change it." The little loach also listened, and knew that it had become a fact, so he had to ask the king of Yan: "Can that allow me to be reincarnated as a person." Hades agreed.
Because the little loach does not understand human feelings and does not know the little ghosts who specialize in reincarnation, they can only be randomly reincarnated. After a while, the little loach was arranged to be reincarnated into a family.
The little loach opened his eyes and felt that this place was so familiar, and then saw the familiar face of the scholar. It turned out that he was reincarnated in the scholar's house by the pond where he used to stay, and he was depressed in his heart. Fortunately, he soon forgot the memories of his previous life and became the son of a scholar. The scholar named him Liu Cheng, hoping that he would become famous in the future, and placed great expectations on him.
The scholar liked Liu Cheng very much and taught him to read and read since he was a child. Liu Cheng is also very smart, and he learns everything quickly, and the students feel very gratified. However, Liu Cheng always likes to stare at the pond in front of the door, as if something related to him has happened here, and he seems to be expecting something, but he does not know what it is.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Cheng was 15 years old. The scholar decided to move away from this remote place, to plan for his son's future. I am afraid that it will not be easy for Liu Cheng to marry his wife in the future.
So the scholar's family moved to town. Liu Cheng was immediately attracted by this colorful world, there are too many strange and interesting things here. And it seems to be what he has been looking forward to. After the scholar settled the family, he found a school for Liu Cheng and wanted him to take the imperial examination. But Liu Cheng came to the town, where there is still a mind to read, every day wandering outside, eating, drinking, watching theater and shopping, and also mixed with a group of young people about his age and wandering around all day, and he has long forgotten about reading to cloud nine.
When the scholar saw this, he persuaded Liu Cheng many times, but Liu Cheng couldn't listen to it at all, and the scholar could only shake his head and sigh. Liu Chengcheng has been idle in the town for more than a year. One day, while hanging out with the group of youths, he got into a conflict with another group of young people, and he got into a fight. Who knew that the young man did not know the seriousness of the attack, and actually missed Liu Cheng to death.
He came to Yan Wang again, and felt very aggrieved, he was only 17 years old, his life had just begun, how could I not live.
King Yan sighed and said, "You still haven't understood? No matter what, you will have regrets, the desire is endless, and cherishing the life in front of you is the most important thing. ”
The little loach finally understood, and calmly accepted the reality, thinking that he must change himself when he was reincarnated next time.
