There is a Lang Zhong, surnamed Hao, who has excellent medical skills and is not promiscious, and people are willing to see him.
On this day, he rescued a dying patient from a family thirty miles away, and on the way back, it was dark as he walked. Hao Lang couldn't help but be a little stunned in the center, picked up a wooden stick and pinched it in his hand, and gave himself courage.
After only a few steps, suddenly a voice broke in the air: "What person?"
Hao Langzhong looked at it and saw four men in front of him, all of whose faces were all smeared with ash from the bottom of the pot, and the iron rod in his hand was shining in the night light.
Hao Langzhong knew that he had met a bandit, and hurriedly said: "I am Langzhong who treats people for others, can I borrow the way to make it convenient?"
Where did the four men pay attention, searched Hao Langzhong up and down, and then pushed him violently: "Get out, don't let Lao Tzu look at you and pierce your eyes!"

郝郎中捡得性命，于是便慌不择路拔脚就逃。
I don't know where he went, and suddenly there was a child's cry in his ears.
"Alas, what's wrong with me, I'm going to have trouble today, it's better to have more than one thing less, just go and pull it down. Hao Langzhong muttered to himself as he sped up his steps.
But the farther he went, the more he felt the child's cry pierce his ears.
Hao Langzhong's legs couldn't move: Langzhong, who was helping the world and saving people, how could he not save him when he saw danger? So he followed the sound to find the child.
When I found it, I saw that two wolves were circling around a child. Hao Langzhong hurriedly pulled a bunch of dry grass and dead leaves, lit them with flint, and then jumped up with an arrow.
The wolf was scared away, and Hao Langzhong followed the child's instructions and sent him home.
03
The child's mother was crying under the lamp, and when she saw that the child had been sent back, she was so happy that she cried and laughed.
The child's mother said: "The dead ghost of my family went out to play for money, and he didn't see a shadow for ten days and a half months."
At this time, we are spreading the 'mountain heat' here, and the child is also infected, and his uncle said that if you don't throw it away, you can't do it, otherwise none of the remaining babies will survive. Alas, just threw this child away. ”
When Hao Langzhong heard that this disease could be cured, he comforted the child's mother, and hurriedly instructed her to ask for a few medicines.
Hao Langzhong pointed out the name of the medicine, and the child's mother said: "Coincidentally, there is one at home." ”
So, the child's mother decocted the medicine in front of the stove, and the eggs were fried in the pot, and she said that she would invite Hao Langzhong to drink a cup of wine.
At this moment, the door of the house was kicked open with a "bang", and a man with blood-red eyes rushed in, grabbed Hao Langzhong by the collar and scolded: "Where did the wild man come from, did he seduce my wife in the middle of the night?"
Hao Langzhong's neck was strangled by him, and the child's mother wanted to explain, but was kicked to the ground by the man.
04
But almost at the same time, a man jumped down from the beam of the house, pointed at the man, and scolded: "What kind of man are you? ”
"Who are you?" the man was startled.
"I am a thief, and if you want to be beaten or punished, you will see the officials and follow you, but I have to speak a fair word for them. ”
It turned out that this thief passed by here when it was dark, and saw that there was only one woman in the house, so he quietly slipped into the house and jumped on the beam, wanting to wait for the woman to come down and steal something when she was asleep.
But who knew that he heard this conversation between the woman and Langzhong, and his nose was sour when he heard it, compared to such a good person, the thief felt that he was simply not a thing.
He couldn't stay any longer, so he just showed up.
After listening to the thief's narration, the man took the oil lamp and shone it at Hao Langzhong, and shouted: "My own brother!" turned over and knelt on the ground, "You have saved a few lives with your kindness." See who I am?"
How did Hao Langzhong recognize the man in front of him?
05
The man said, "Don't dare to lie, I'll tell the truth." Among the people who robbed you of your money in the dark Tianshan Mountain, I have my share. You see, all the money that robbed you is here.
I'll give it back to you, my dear brother, if you don't stay here today, I'll die here. Otherwise, you will send me to see the official!"
The man said this, and Hao Langzhong had to stay.
So, while the three men drank happily, they talked heartily, and Hao Langzhong also told the truth about what he heard the child crying and didn't want to save him at first.
Drink until dawn, and the man and the former thief must send Hao Langzhong home. Both men said: "Mr. not only saved the child, but also cured the conscience of both of us, let's send Mr. - Mr. Cheng is okay, right?"
Hao Langzhong couldn't resist their hospitality, so the three of them walked all the way with a smile and a smile.
06
When I didn't want to go to Hao Langzhong's village soon, I smelled a smell of burnt paste from afar, and when I got closer, the walls of the village collapsed, and the corpses were everywhere. Hao Langzhong shouted "not good" and immediately fainted to the ground.
The man was so anxious that he desperately pinched Hao Langzhong's people, and Hao Langzhong finally relieved himself. He cheered up and searched all over the village for his daughter-in-law and children, but there was no one to be seen.
It must have been the bandits who came last night and killed no one in the village.
At this moment, I heard a shout in the distance: "Dad-"
Hao Langzhong turned his head and saw that it was the eldest brother who was leading two donkeys and carrying his daughter-in-law and children.
It turned out that last night, Hao Langzhong's daughter-in-law did not see the man come back, and the eldest was unhappy, guessing that he must have been eating and drinking outside, so he simply led the child back to her parents' house.
My mother's parents are sensible and kind-hearted, and as soon as it dawns today, I will send my eldest son to send my sister home, lest my son-in-law find no one to get angry. No, I just turned back, only to know that the village had been robbed.
07
As soon as the matter became clear, everyone was stunned:
If Hao Langzhong didn't save the child last night, and rushed home to block his daughter-in-law, the family would have become a bandit;
If Hao Langzhong hadn't met a misunderstanding when he sent the child home, maybe he would have gone home immediately and let the bandits bump into him......
Thinking about it, Hao Langzhong sighed: "Providence, it's really providence!"
However, the two men who accompanied him grabbed the conversation and said: "What is the will of heaven? Mr. Hao is good and recompensable, and it should be so! This is in response to the words of the ancients, 'But do good deeds, don't ask about the future.'"
