A scoundrel plays a stupid scholar, and he doesn't want to be really played by himself
In a small town a long, long time ago, there was a scoundrel named Zhang San, who was idle on weekdays, loved to play with others, and made a living for fun. The people of the town avoided him, for fear that he would accidentally become the object of his teasing.
On this day, Zhang San was wandering around the teahouse in the town, and he found a weak scholar sitting in the corner, looking a little stupid. This scholar's name is Li Si, an outsider, who has just arrived and knows nothing about the customs of the town. Seeing this, Zhang San's heart moved, and he secretly thought: "This idiot is a good target for playing." ”
Zhang San walked up to Li Si and pretended to greet him warmly: "Yo, this brother, you look very good, you are a newcomer, right?"
Li Si raised his head, revealing an honest face, nodded and said, "Yes, I just arrived here not long ago." ”
Zhang San was secretly happy in his heart, but said quietly on the surface: "Then brother, you have to be careful, this town is a little weird, don't go out casually at night." ”
When Li Si heard this, he immediately became nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Weird, what's weird?"
Zhang San deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "There is a haunted house in this town, and every time in the dead of night, there will be strange cries and laughter, and it is said that there are ghosts haunting." ”
Li Si was frightened when he heard this, but he couldn't help but ask curiously, "That...... Where's the haunted house?"
Zhang San smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be sympathetic, pointed to a dilapidated mansion in the depths of the town and said, "That's it, you must not go, otherwise there will be big trouble." ”
When Li Si heard this, although he was scared in his heart, his curiosity drove him to want to find out. That night, he took advantage of the night to quietly come to the haunted mansion. I saw that the house was dilapidated, the doors and windows were closed, and there was silence all around, only the occasional sound of the wind, which made people shudder.
Li Si plucked up his courage, pushed open the creaky wooden door, and walked in. It was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see anything clearly. He cautiously groped his way forward, and suddenly, a cold wind blew and blew out the lantern in his hand. Li Si was shocked, only to feel that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him around him, he trembled with fright, and wanted to run away but found that he could no longer find an exit.
At this moment, a strange laugh rang out, accompanied by bursts of crying, as if there were countless ghosts wandering around. Li Si was so frightened that he could only close his eyes tightly and keep praying that he would be able to escape.
However, just when he was about to despair, he suddenly felt someone take his hand. When he opened his eyes, he saw a woman in white clothes appear in front of him. The woman's face was delicate, but there was a strange light in her eyes. She smiled and said to Li Si: "Don't be afraid, I am the master of this house and will not hurt you." ”
When Li Si heard this, his heart settled down a little. He followed the woman out of the haunted mansion and back to the town. Since then, he has never been to the haunted mansion, but he has never forgotten the woman in white in his heart.
And what about Zhang San? He thought he had played Li Siyi, but he didn't expect that he was the one who was really tricked. It turned out that there were no ghosts in that ghost house at all, and everything was a lie made up by Zhang San in order to play tricks on Li Si. And the woman in white was actually pretended to be by a friend of Zhang San, in order to teach Li Si a lesson, so that he would not easily believe other people's words in the future.
After Zhang San learned the truth, he felt remorseful in his heart. Only then did he realize that he had been playing tricks on others all along, but he didn't expect to be tricked by others in the end. From then on, he no longer dared to play tricks on others, but became low-key and began to live seriously.
And what about Li Si? Although he was played by Zhang San, he also learned a lesson. He understood that in this world, not everyone is good, and not all words are credible. Since then, he has become more cautious and no longer easily trusts strangers.
As the days passed, Li Si gradually adapted to the life of the town and made some friends who treated him sincerely. He often remembered that strange night and the appearance of the woman in white, but his heart was no longer afraid, but more awe and curiosity.
One night, Li Si sat alone in the study, flipping through an ancient book. Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door. He opened the door and was surprised to find the woman in white standing outside the door. The woman smiled slightly and said, "Gongzi Li, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed?"
Li Si invited the woman into the house, and the two sat opposite each other. The woman claimed to be the young lady of the White Mansion, named Bai Lu, and the ghost mansion was her family's former residence. She told Li Si about the rise and fall of the family, and why there was a strange sound in that house.
It turned out that Baifu was once a wealthy family, but because it offended the powerful, the family was wiped out. Before his death, Bai Lu's father laid a maze and turned the house into a strange place to protect the family's last secret. And those strange cries and laughter are actually illusions in the maze, used to scare off those who try to snoop into the secrets.
Bai Lu tells Li Si that she has been looking for a trustworthy person to uncover the secret and clear the family's name. She took a fancy to Li Si's innocence and kindness, and thought that he could take on this heavy responsibility.
After Li Si heard this, he was both excited and apprehensive. He knew that his abilities were limited, but he also wanted to do something for Bai Lu. So, he agreed, and decided to help Bai Lu uncover the secret of the maze.
In the following days, Li Si and Bai Lu studied ancient books together, looking for a way to solve the maze. They have experienced numerous failures and setbacks, but they have not given up. Finally, on a dark and windy night, they found the entrance to the maze.
The two held hands and cautiously walked into the maze. I saw that it was pitch black all around, and only a strange sound echoed in my ears. They followed the guidance in the ancient books, walked forward step by step, and finally came to a secret room.
In the chamber is an ancient chest filled with mysterious runes. Bai Lu told Li Si that this box contained the family's secrets and treasures. She took out a key and opened the box.
I saw a yellowed family tree and a shining treasure in the chest. The genealogy records the glorious history and tragic experiences of the family, and the treasure is a token of the family's inheritance, proving their former glory.
Bai Lu looked at the genealogy and treasures, tears flashing in her eyes. She told Li Si that with this evidence, she could finally justify her family's name. She thanked Li Si for his help and promised to always remember his kindness.
Li Si looked at Bai Lu's grateful eyes, and his heart was also full of a sense of accomplishment. He knew that he had done something meaningful and that he had gained a sincere friendship.
And what about that scoundrel Zhang San? After learning the news that Li Si and Bai Lu had successfully cracked the maze, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He was ashamed of his playful behavior, but also admired Li Si's bravery and wisdom. He left the town in silence and decided to find his new life.
After Li Si and Bai Lu successfully cracked the maze, Bai Lu left the town with the family's genealogy and treasures to find the powerful people who had persecuted the family and justify the family's name. Li Si, on the other hand, stayed in the town and continued to live a peaceful life, occasionally missing Bai Lu, but also knew that she had more important things to do.
The people of the town gradually learned the story of Li Si and Bai Lu, and praised him for his courage and wisdom. Zhang San also heard about this, he was both ashamed and admired in his heart, and decided to change his mind and be a new person.
One day, when Li Si was drinking tea in the teahouse, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. When he walked out of the teahouse, he saw a group of people gathered around and talking. When I got closer, it turned out to be a down-and-out beggar being watched by everyone. The beggar was ragged and haggard, and it was the former scoundrel Zhang San.
Li Si's heart moved, and he stepped forward. When Zhang San saw Li Si, a trace of embarrassment and shame flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head, not daring to meet Li Si's gaze.
Li Si sighed and said, "Zhang San, you once teased me and made me suffer a lot. But now that you've fallen so far, I'm saddened too. In life, good and evil are rewarded. If you can truly repent and become a new person, there may be a glimmer of life. ”
Zhang San listened to Li Si's words, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes. He raised his head, looked at Li Si and said, "Brother Li Si, I know I'm wrong. I used to be idle and love to play with others, but now I'm in this situation. I'm willing to change my life and be a new person. ”
Seeing this, Li Si also felt relieved in his heart. He patted Zhang San on the shoulder and said, "Okay, as long as you have the heart to change, I believe you will be able to stand up again." I'll help you find a job and get you off to a fresh start. ”
With the help of Li Si, Zhang San found a job helping out in a teahouse. He was hardworking and sincere, and gradually won people's trust and respect. He also often asked Li Si for advice on how to behave in the world, and worked hard to correct his mistakes.
As the days passed, Zhang San gradually got rid of the shadow of the past and became a respected person. And Li Si has also won the admiration and friendship of more people because of his kindness and tolerance.
One night, Li Si was walking alone on the way home when he suddenly heard a soft footsteps. He looked back and saw a woman in white clothes appear in front of him. It is the white dew that has not been seen for many days.
Bai Lu smiled and said to Li Si, "Master Li, I'm back." ”
Li Si was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Bai, have you found those powerful people?"
Bai Lu nodded, her eyes flashing with determination: "Yes, I found them and also made a name for the family. They confessed to their crimes and were duly punished. ”
After Li Si heard this, he felt great relief in his heart. He admired Bai Lu's persistence and bravery, and was also happy for her success.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if all the hardships and difficulties had vanished at this moment. They know that no matter what challenges and difficulties they encounter in the future, as long as they have love and courage in their hearts, they will be able to overcome anything.
Since then, Li Si and Bai Lu have lived happily ever after. They support each other and face life's challenges and difficulties together. And the people of the town often hear their good stories, and feel the power of sincere friendship and love.
And the former scoundrel Zhang San, under the influence of Li Si and Bai Lu, gradually grew into a responsible and responsible person. He proves that it is possible for a person to change and grow with his actions, and also inspires more people to pursue a better future with his own story.
