The butcher killed the sheep, and when he saw the lamb sacrifice his life to protect his mother, he put down the butcher's knife, and retribution came half a year later
In a remote mountain village, there was a butcher named Zhang Dazhu. He was a burly man with infinite strength, and a sharp butcher's knife danced vigorously in his hands. Dazhu's slaughtering skills are well-known, whether it is pigs, cattle or sheep, as long as they pass through his hands, they can be handled cleanly and properly.
On this day, Zhang Dazhu received a business to go to a farmer's house on the other side of the mountain to slaughter a ewe. With a butcher's knife on his back, he set out on the mountain road to the farmer's house. The rugged mountain road is flanked by dense woods, and the occasional birdsong adds to the silence and mystery of the mountains.
When he arrived at the farmer's house, Dazhu saw the ewe waiting to be slaughtered. The ewes are sturdy, shiny and look docile. And beside it, snuggled up to a little lamb, snow-white, clear eyes, and extremely cute. When Dazhu saw it, his heart couldn't help but move, but when he thought that he was here to slaughter sheep, he was ruthless and ready to do it.
At the moment when the pillar raised the butcher's knife, the ewe suddenly let out a terrible cry, and the little lamb followed closely behind, bleating. The ewe protects the lamb with her body, and her eyes reveal endless fear and pleading. Seeing this, Da Zhu's heart couldn't help but soften, but he still gritted his teeth and prepared to continue to move.
That's when a miracle happened. The little lamb suddenly broke free from the ewe's embrace, rushed to the front of the big pillar, and put his head against the butcher's knife. Its eyes flashed with determination, as if to say, "Let my mother go!" Dazhu was deeply shocked by this scene, he put down the butcher knife, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart.
He sighed and said to the farmer: "This sheep mother and son are deeply affectionate, and I really can't do it." Be wise. With that, he picked up the butcher's knife and left without looking back.
Back at home, Dazhu told his wife about today's events. After hearing this, his wife also sighed and said, "This sheep mother and son are deeply in love, and if you let them go, you have also accumulated yin virtue." Dazhu nodded, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart, he always felt as if he had done something wrong.
As the days passed, Dazhu's slaughtering business was still thriving. However, one night half a year later, a strange thing happened.
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and Dazhu had already slept at home. Suddenly, he was awakened by a sharp knock on the door. He put on his clothes, walked to the door, and when he opened it, he was stunned.
Standing outside the door was the same ewe and lamb he had let go of half a year ago. There was a faint glint in their eyes, as if with some mysterious power. Dazhu involuntarily took a few steps back, and an inexplicable fear welled up in his heart.
The ewe suddenly spoke, and its voice was low and weird: "Zhang Dazhu, you spared the lives of our mother and son half a year ago, and now we are here to repay you." Dazhu's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he stammered and asked, "Are you...... What do you want to do?"
The ewe said slowly: "Our mother and son have been cultivating in the mountains and forests for many years, and they have some mana. Now, we give you these mana to repay your kindness. With that, it bowed to the pillar with the little lamb, and then turned into two white rays of light and disappeared into the night sky.
Dazhu stood at the door in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. He touched his chest, and it felt as if a warm current was running through him. Since then, he has become stronger and more energetic. His slaughtering skills have also become more sophisticated, and the accuracy of each shot is breathtaking.
What's even more amazing is that Dazhu's slaughtering business is also getting better and better. People say that he has been blessed with the mana of the mother and son of the sheep, and even the butcher's knife has become extremely sharp. After hearing this, Dazhu just smiled and said nothing, but he understood in his heart that all this was because he let go of the sheep mother and son and got retribution.
The story spread throughout the village, and people praised Dazhu's good deeds and the miracle of the mother and child. Since then, the people in the village have become kinder and more tolerant, and everyone has understood a truth: good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, karma is circulating, and retribution is unpleasant.
And Zhang Dazhu also became the most respected person in the village because of this story. He proved by his actions that the power of kindness and compassion is infinite, and that it can change not only the fate of a person, but also the atmosphere of a village.
Since receiving the blessing of the mana of the mother and son of the sheep, Zhang Dazhu's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. His slaughtering business became bigger and bigger, attracting not only the villagers but also merchants from other places. However, instead of becoming complacent, Dazhu became more humble and kind.
He often used the money he earned to help the poor and elderly in the village, while he lived a simple life. He also often taught his children to be kind to others and not to bully the weak. His good deeds have won wide praise from the villagers, and everyone calls him "Zhang Dashan Man".
However, the good times were short-lived. Just when Zhang Dazhu's reputation spread farther and farther, a sudden disaster befell him.
It was a stormy night, and Zhang Dazhu was resting at home. Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door. He opened the door and saw several strangers with meaty faces standing outside the door. They claimed to be passing merchants, who had nowhere to stay because of a flash flood, and asked to spend the night at Dazhu's house.
Although Dazhu was suspicious, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy in his heart when he looked at these people in rags and embarrassed. He sighed and let them in.
As soon as they entered the house, they began to look around, their eyes shining with greed. Da Zhu's wife sensed that something was wrong and quietly pulled Da Zhu's sleeve, signaling him to be careful. However, Dazhu felt that although these people were rude, they should not do anything excessive.
Just as Dazhu turned to prepare food for these people, he suddenly heard a scream. When he looked back, he saw that his wife had fallen to the ground, and the strangers were surrounding her, with knives and sticks in their hands, and a hideous smile on their faces.
Dazhu rushed over angrily, trying to save his wife. However, his mana seemed to have failed at this moment, and he was unable to subdue these people as easily as he usually did. He fought the men as best he could, but was eventually knocked to the ground because he was outnumbered.
Watching his wife being taken away by these people, Dazhu's heart was filled with endless remorse and self-blame. He hated why he trusted these strangers so easily, and hated why he didn't protect his wife. A strong killing intent surged in his heart, wanting to break these people into pieces.
At this moment, a white light flashed, and the figures of the ewe and the lamb appeared in front of the big pillar. They looked at the pillars with a glint of compassion in their eyes. The ewe said slowly: "Dazhu, although you are kind, your heart is sinister, and you must not guard against it. Today's woe is caused by your overtrustworthiness of others. However, there are still good thoughts in your heart, which have not been extinguished. Our mother and son are willing to help you again, but you must remember that kindness must have a bottom line, and you can't blindly do good. ”
After saying that, the ewe and the lamb nodded together at the pillar, and then disappeared into the night sky in a white light. Da Zhu, on the other hand, felt a powerful force surging into his body, and his body instantly regained its strength.
He stood up and chased out the door. With the help of the power bestowed by the mother and son of the sheep, he easily subdued the strangers and saved his wife. After some interrogation, he learned that these people turned out to be bandits in the neighborhood, who specialized in robbing passing merchants when the night was dark and windy.
Dazhu twisted these people to the government, and did nothing for the people. From then on, he was more cautious in his dealings with others, and at the same time more determined to do good deeds.
His kindness and strength have won the respect and praise of more people. Under his influence, the atmosphere in the village has become better and better, and everyone has taken kindness and tolerance as virtues, and jointly created a harmonious and beautiful living environment.
After experiencing that thrilling robbery, although Zhang Dazhu's life returned to peace, he had more vigilance and wisdom in his heart. He also understood that kindness is not an unprincipled concession, but requires wisdom and courage to guard.
Zhang Dazhu continued his slaughtering business, but became more cautious and cautious. He no longer trusts strangers easily, but uses his own vision and judgment to discern the hearts of others. At the same time, he also pays more attention to the protection of his family and reminds them to be vigilant.
With the blessing of the mana of the sheep mother and son, Zhang Dazhu's body became stronger and his spirit became more vigorous. His slaughtering skills have reached the point of perfection, and each knife is extremely precise and breathtaking.
However, Zhang Dazhu did not become complacent because of this. He knows very well that all this is a gift given to him by the mother and son of the sheep, and he wants to use this gift to help more people. As a result, he became more actively involved in the village's public welfare undertakings and used his strength to improve the lives of the villagers.
Under his leadership, the atmosphere in the village became more harmonious and beautiful. Everyone has learned to be tolerant and understanding, and no longer cares about small things. The children in the village have also been nurtured by Zhang Dazhu, who have learned to be kind and brave since childhood, and have become the hope of the new generation in the village.
Time flies, and a few years have passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Dazhu has become the most respected elder in the village, and his story has been passed down from generation to generation. And the ewe and the lamb also appeared in his dreams from time to time, giving him strength and blessings.
One day, Zhang Dazhu was resting at home when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the door. When he opened the door, he saw a magnificent general riding a tall horse, followed by a group of soldiers, walking towards him.
After the general dismounted, he walked up to Zhang Dazhu and bowed deeply. He said: "Mr. Zhang Dazhu, I am a general of a neighboring country, and I have come to thank you for saving your life back then. ”
It turned out that this general was the merchant who was rescued by Zhang Dazhu back then. He was spared death because of Zhang Dazhu's good deeds, and later joined the army, relying on his talent and courage, all the way up to become a general. He has always remembered Zhang Dazhu's kindness, and he came to repay him this time.
After hearing this, Zhang Dazhu was full of emotion in his heart. He didn't expect that his small act of kindness would be rewarded so deeply. He hurriedly invited the general into the house and set up a banquet to entertain him.
During the banquet, the general asked Zhang Dazhu many questions about life and wisdom. Zhang Dazhu also did not hesitate to share his experience and insights. The two talked happily with each other, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
At parting, the general once again expressed his gratitude to Zhang Dazhu and promised to do his best to help more people. Zhang Dazhu also wished the general smooth sailing and a bright future.
This encounter strengthened Zhang Dazhu's conviction that the power of kindness and compassion is infinite. It can not only change the fate of one person, but also affect the direction of the whole world. He is determined to continue to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and use his strength to warm more people's hearts.
And the story about the butcher killing the sheep, seeing the lamb sacrifice his life to protect his mother and put down the butcher's knife, and the retribution coming half a year later, also continues to circulate in the village. It is not just a story, but also a kind of faith and strength, inspiring people to do good deeds and pursue beauty.
