During the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, the scholar Hua Ziyu was kind-hearted, and when someone got into trouble, he would do what he could to help a group of people, so he was respected by people, and he would respect him as a little gentleman when he saw him.
On this day, Hanako Yu read for a while, and suddenly became irritable, so he dropped the book and walked out, and went for a walk on the mountain path in the back mountain. After walking about four or five hundred paces, I met a lonely old man with a high surname in the village, caught a woodpecker, and walked back joyfully.
This lonely old man surnamed Gao has a proclivity and likes to eat the meat of birds, as long as it is flying in the sky with wings, there is almost nothing that is not eaten by him. Others advised him to eat something that should be eaten, and not to touch what should not be eaten, so as not to hurt Tiande. But he said nonchalantly: "I'm a lonely old man, my eyes are closed after death, I don't care, and I'm afraid of retribution or retribution. "So I went my own way and went my way and caught birds in the mountains every day.
Huaziyu smiled and said: "Uncle, let me meet you today, it can be regarded as related to this woodpecker, I advise you, let it go." ”
The lone old man surnamed Gao shook his head and said, "How can the meat that is hard to reach your mouth be easily put?" I want to drink a few cups, you must not fool me with any set of heavenly reincarnation, I will not listen." ”
Huaziyu smiled and said: "I know that you are not afraid of the reincarnation of the heavenly path, but the woodpecker specializes in eating insects on trees, is the healer of trees, is a beneficial bird, and we must protect this bird." ”
The lone old man surnamed Gao shook his head and said, "I don't care so much, if I fall into my net, I am destined to be eaten by me, this is its creation." "Say it, let's go.
Huaziyu stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Slowly, uncle, how about I exchange a chicken?" The lonely old man surnamed Gao smiled and said, "Little sir, I know that you are a kind person and will give you a face." So be it, two chickens, and I'll give you the woodpecker if you want. Hanako nodded and said, "Two is two, and you can catch them at home with me." ”
The lonely old man surnamed Gao caught two chickens and walked away joyfully. The fish examined the woodpecker and found that its wings were injured, so he went to his grandfather, who practiced medicine, to treat it. Later, when the woodpecker recovered from its injuries, the flower fish released it.
In the blink of an eye, two or three years passed, and on the wedding day of Huaziyu, he rode a small donkey and carried a small sedan to Jia's house to greet his relatives. After some red tape at Jia's house, Jia was helped onto the palanquin, and the welcoming procession walked back.
Halfway through, I suddenly encountered a procession of greeters blocking the middle of the road, and several strong men held clubs to drive people away, and then dragged the bride out of the palanquin, stuffed it into their palanquin, and ran with a cigarette. When we arrived at the river, a large boat was already waiting here, and a man pulled the bride onto the boat and was about to sail away.
It turned out that these people came to rob relatives. A businessman from outside the country coveted the beauty of the Jia family and wanted to marry him as a house filler, but the Jia family had already decided to marry, and the Jia family did not want to regret the marriage. The merchant thought of this plan to rob his relatives, as long as he got on the big ship, sailed away, and returned to his hometown in Luoyang, Jia would not be able to escape even if he inserted wings.
Suddenly, a flock of birds flew from the sky, including eagles, led by the woodpecker, who pounced on the people on board and pecked their faces. The men covered their eyes in panic and hid on the ship.
In the midst of chaos, Hanako chased after him with someone. With the help of the flock of birds, they easily knocked those who snatched their relatives to the ground and carried the bride home.
The woodpecker flew in front of the flower fish and chirped non-stop, as if inviting credit. Hanako said, "Thank you for your rescue, let me snatch the bride back." Woodpecker, you take the flock back to my house first, today is my big day, I invite you to eat. As soon as the words fell, the woodpecker flew away with the flock.
After Huaziyu and Jia's worship became married, Huaziyu told about the woodpecker helping him snatch back the bride, and the guests were all amazed, saying that this was the good reward of the Hanako fish, and the woodpecker in order to repay the life-saving grace will appear a miracle of the bird flock fighting the family robbery team.
Hanako brought a lot of grain from the house and scattered it on the field outside the door, and the birds that participated in the robbery had long been waiting on the trees and flew down to eat. After eating the grain, they spread their wings and flew away, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
In gratitude to the woodpeckers and birds, the couple would sprinkle some food behind the house to feed the birds whenever the green and yellow birds were difficult to find. This behavior continued for several generations, until the descendants of the Hua family fled after encountering the war.
This is exactly what good hearts lead to good causes, and good deeds are rewarded. This story adopts an absurd writing style, which is to use the metaphor of things and persuade the world, and has nothing to do with feudal superstition.
