During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a woodcutter named Wang Gui in Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, whose family was poor and made a living by cutting firewood and selling it on the mountains. His wife, Lee, was a virtuous woman, and although her life was hard, she was always considerate and gentle to her husband, and did not complain. Wang Gui and Li have been married for ten years and have never had children, which is a big regret in their hearts, but they don't force it, they just hope to live in peace.
One day, Wang Gui, as usual, carried an ax to the back mountain to chop wood, and after walking for a while, he saw a newly opened tomb with a bamboo pole inserted on the grave, and a white cloth hung on the pole, on which was written "The Tomb of Zhang Moumou". Wang Gui thought to himself, this tomb must have only been opened yesterday, I don't know whose relatives died, he was about to go around, when he suddenly heard a hissing sound from the tomb, as if something was moving.
Wang Gui curiously approached and saw a big black snake coming out of the tomb, its body was as thick as a bucket, several feet long, and it also had a pair of horns on its head, which looked very fierce. Wang Gui was so frightened that he thought that this must be a demon snake, it must have eaten the corpse in the tomb to become so big. He tried to escape, but found that his legs were stiff and he couldn't move.
Just when Wang Gui thought that he was going to die, an old man suddenly jumped out from the side, holding an iron rod, and hit the big snake violently. The old man was small in stature, but his strength was amazing, and every stick made the big snake scream. The old man shouted while beating: "You evil snake, you dare to eat human corpses, today I will do the right thing for heaven and get rid of you scourge!"
The big snake saw that the old man was coming fiercely and did not dare to fight again, so he wanted to escape, but the old man chased after him and did not let it have a chance. Wang Gui saw that the old man had saved him, and he was very grateful, and he wanted to help the old man, so he picked up the axe and cut at the big snake. Just when Wang Gui's axe was about to fall, the old man suddenly shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight, run, run!"
Wang Gui didn't understand why the old man suddenly changed his mind, but he still listened to the old man's words, threw down the axe, turned around and ran. He had not gone far when he heard a loud noise behind him, as if the sky was cracking, and when he looked back, he saw that the big snake had turned into a ball of fire, burning into the sky, and swept the old man into it, and everything was reduced to ashes.
Wang Gui was terrified, he didn't know what was going on, he only knew that he had just escaped, he hurriedly ran back home and told his wife about it. Li was also frightened when she heard this, and she advised Wang Gui not to go to the vicinity of that tomb in the future, so as not to get into trouble. Wang Gui nodded in agreement, he also thanked the old man in his heart, if he hadn't appeared in time, he would have been swallowed by that big snake a long time ago.
The next day, Wang Gui went to the back mountain to cut firewood, he bypassed the tomb, found a safe place, and began to chop wood. He split for a while, and then he heard someone calling his name, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Aunt Zhang from the village, she was a widow who had just lost her husband yesterday, and her husband was the one buried in that grave. When Wang Gui saw that it was her, he put down his axe and walked over to greet her.
Aunt Zhang saw Wang Gui, crying even more, she grabbed Wang Gui's hand and said: "Wang Gui, you have to save me, I had a nightmare last night, I dreamed that my husband crawled out of the grave, and told me that his body was eaten by a big snake, and his soul could not rest in peace, he asked me to go to the grave today to burn paper money for him, and said that if I don't go, he will come to me and drag me down......"
Wang Gui listened, his heart was shocked, he thought of the big snake he saw yesterday, thinking that this must be true, he hurriedly comforted Aunt Zhang, and said: "Aunt Zhang, you don't have to worry, that big snake has been killed by an old man, your husband's soul must have been liberated, you go to the grave today to burn paper money for him, he will rest in peace." ”
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she looked at Wang Gui gratefully, and said: "Wang Gui, you are really a good person, can you tell me, who is that old man? Why did he fight that big snake? Where is he now? I want to thank him......"
Wang Gui shook his head and said: "Aunt Zhang, I don't know who that old man is, he suddenly appeared, and he helped me fight the big snake, and then he exploded with the big snake, and I didn't have time to ask his name, I think he must be a master, I don't want people to know his identity, you don't have to look for him, you just need to thank him silently in your heart." ”
Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "Wang Gui, you are really a kind person, you saved my life today, I don't know how to repay you, do you have any wishes?
Wang Gui thought for a while and said: "Aunt Zhang, in fact, I don't have any wishes, I just want to live a good life with my wife, it would be better if I could have a child, but these are all providence, I don't dare to force it." ”
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she smiled slightly, and said: "Wang Gui, you don't have to worry, you and your wife will definitely have a good life, and we will definitely have children, do you know? My husband was a feng shui master when he was alive, and he was very knowledgeable about these things, and he once told me that his tomb is a treasure of feng shui, and those buried there can not only rest in peace, but also bring blessings to future generations."
You saw that big snake yesterday, in fact, it is your blessing, that big snake is a spirit snake, it originally wanted to absorb my husband's aura, but was killed by that old man, its aura is scattered in the air, you breathe those aura, it is equivalent to getting its spirituality, your luck will definitely be greatly improved, your wealth, health, children and grandchildren, will increase, you just need to go home and look at the bottom of the bed, you can see wealth. ”
Wang Gui listened, half-convinced, he didn't know if what Aunt Zhang said was true or false, but he still politely thanked Aunt Zhang, and said: "Aunt Zhang, what you said is so good, I really hope to be able to do what you said, but I don't dare to hope, I'm just a poor woodcutter, where can I have any wealth?"
Aunt Zhang said: "Wang Gui, don't sell miserably, you just need to go home and look at the bottom of the bed, you will know if what I said is true, you will definitely have a surprise." ”
Wang Gui smiled embarrassedly and said, "Aunt Zhang, then I will thank you, I will go back first, you also have to take care of your body, don't be too sad." ”
Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "Wang Gui, you go well, remember to go home and look at the bottom of the bed, don't forget." ”
Wang Gui carried the firewood and walked home, he was still thinking about Aunt Zhang's words, he felt a little incredible, he thought, what could be under his bed? Could it be the tail of the big snake? He felt a little funny, but he still couldn't help but want to take a look, he said to his wife: "Li, guess what, what happened to me today?"
Li Shi looked at her husband's expression and felt that something was unusual, and she asked, "What happened to you today, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Wang Gui said: "Listen, when I was chopping wood in the back mountain today, I saw a big snake, it came out of the grave of Aunt Zhang's husband, its body was as thick as a bucket, several zhang long, and a pair of horns, so scared that I almost died, fortunately an old man appeared and helped me kill the big snake, otherwise I would be finished." ”
When Li Shi heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and she said, "Oh my God, you really encountered such a terrible thing, you weren't hurt, right? Who is that old man? How could he be there?"
Wang Gui said: "I wasn't hurt, I don't know the old man, he said he was a passerby, he saw the big snake, he wanted to get rid of it, he killed the big snake, but he also sacrificed himself, he exploded with the big snake, I didn't have time to ask his name, I can only thank him in my heart." ”
Li said: "That old man is really a hero, you have to thank him well, he saved your life, and also saved the life of our whole village, if that big snake escapes, I don't know how many people will be eaten." ”
Wang Gui said: "Yes, I am also very grateful to him, but do you know? Aunt Zhang said that the big snake is a spirit snake, it ate her husband's corpse, trying to absorb his aura, but was killed by the old man, its aura is scattered in the air, I breathe those aura, it is equivalent to getting its spirituality, my luck will be greatly improved, my wealth, health, children and grandchildren, will increase, she also said, I just need to go home and look at the bottom of the bed, I can see wealth." ”
When Li Shi heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Wang Gui, don't listen to Aunt Zhang's nonsense, she must be too sad and say some crazy things, how can you breathe the aura of that big snake? How can your luck improve? What wealth can you have under your bed? Don't be confused by her words, let's live honestly." ”
Wang Gui said: "Li, I don't believe it either, but I still want to go and see, maybe there are really any surprises, you can accompany me to take a look." ”
Li nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, since you want to go and see, I will accompany you to have a look, but I tell you, you don't have too much hope, so as not to be disappointed." ”
Wang Gui and Li walked to the bedside, they leaned down, lifted the sheets, and looked under the bed, they were all stunned, they saw a pile of gold and silver jewelry, shining, and valuable, they couldn't believe their eyes, they didn't know where these things came from, and they didn't know who put them here, they just felt like they were having a sweet dream, they hugged each other excitedly, and cheered.
Wang Gui said: "Li, look, look, what Aunt Zhang said is true, we have really seen wealth, we have really made a fortune, we don't have to worry about life anymore, we can live a good life, we can also go to a miracle doctor to see if we can treat a child, our wish can be realized." ”
Li said: "Wang Gui, I can't believe it, what's going on, who gave us these things, can we take them, will there be any consequences, should we tell others......
Wang Gui said: " Li, you don't have to worry, these things must have been given to us by the old man, he must know our suffering, want to help us, he must be a fairy, he must have used his mana to send the treasure of the big snake to the bottom of our bed, he must want us to be happy, we don't have to be afraid, we can take it, we won't have any consequences, we don't have to tell others, this is our secret, we have to cherish this kindness, we have to thank that old man, we have to do some good deeds, repay the society, we have to be some good people, don't forget this。 ”
Li said: "Wang Gui, you are right, these things must have been given to us by the old man, he must be a god, we have to thank him, we have to cherish this kindness, we have to do some good deeds, repay the society, we have to be some good people, don't forget this." ”
Wang Gui and Li put away the gold, silver and jewelry, they changed into new clothes, they planned to go to the temple to burn incense, thanks to the old man, they walked out of the door, they saw Zhang Damiang standing at the door, looking at them with a smile, she said: "Wang Gui, Li, you look very happy, did you go home and look at the bottom of the bed, see the wealth?"
Wang Gui and Li were shocked, they didn't know how Aunt Zhang knew about them, they said embarrassedly: "Aunt Zhang, why are you here? How do you know about us?"
Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "Wang Gui, Li, you don't have to be shy, I'm here to send you joy, do you know? That old man is actually my husband, he is not dead, he is a person who has cultivated for thousands of years, he deliberately pretended to be dead in order to save you, and gave you all the treasures of the big snake, he has now soared, he asked me to tell you, he is very happy that you can be happy, he hopes that you can have a child, inherit his mantle, and he also said that he will always bless you and let you live a safe life." ”
Wang Gui and Li listened to it, they were pleasantly surprised, they couldn't believe their ears, they said gratefully: "Aunt Zhang, your husband is really a fairy, he is so good, he not only saved our lives, but also gave us so much wealth, and asked you to come to us to send us joy, we really don't know how to thank him, we will definitely follow his wishes, have a child, inherit his mantle, we will always remember his kindness, do some good deeds, repay the society, be some good people, and live up to his expectations." ”
Aunt Zhang said: "Wang Gui, Li, you don't have to be polite, you are my husband's disciple, but also my relatives, I am also very happy that you can be happy, I came today to bring you a good news, do you know? You are pregnant, you will soon have a lovely baby, you have to take good care of yourself, waiting for the arrival of a new life." ”
Wang Gui and Li were even more pleasantly surprised when they heard this, they hugged Aunt Zhang, with tears in their eyes, and they said: "Aunt Zhang, you are really an angel, you gave us such a big surprise, we are really going to have a child, we are really so happy, we really don't know what to say, we can only say, thank you, thank you husband, thank you for giving us such a good life." ”
Aunt Zhang also shed tears, she said: "Wang Gui, Li, you don't have to thank me, thank my husband, thank heaven and earth, thank yourself, it is your kindness that allows you to get such an opportunity, it is your efforts, let you get such an achievement, it is your love, let you get such happiness, you have to cherish all this, live well, love each other well, educate your children well, let him become a useful person, this is my husband's wish, and my wish." ”
Wang Gui and Li nodded and said, "Aunt Zhang, we will definitely do it, we will definitely make you proud, we will definitely make you feel at ease, and we will definitely make you happy." ”
Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "Okay, good, good, I believe in you, I am also happy for you, I am leaving today, I am going to find my husband, he is waiting for me in the sky, he said that he will take me to see the scenery in the sky, I also want to see, you don't have to send me, you rest at home, I am gone, goodbye." ”
After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she turned into a rainbow and flew into the sky, Wang Gui and Li looked up at her, moved, they said: "Aunt Zhang, go all the way, we will miss you, we will remember you, we will thank you, we will bless you, we will love you forever." ”
Wang Gui and Li returned home, they hugged each other, they felt each other's warmth, they felt the beating of the child, they felt the taste of happiness, they knew that their life had just begun, they still had a lot of good waiting for them, they believed that their future would be even better, because they had the best benefactor, the best relatives, the best lover, and the best self.
