There is a woodcutter named Meng Er in Xuzhou, who is a well-known fool in the village, and the people in the village often bully him, especially those scoundrels in the village, who always tease and bully him. Meng Er was honest, afraid that his parents would worry, so he endured it silently.
Actually, he is not stupid, and he is also very smart, and he is dumb and eats dumplings for the tricks of those treacherous people, and he knows it in his heart.
One day, his mother was sick, but the family had no money to see a doctor and buy medicine, so the father and son were in a hurry, and in desperation, Meng Er went out to borrow money.
But after a while, I didn't borrow money, and I was sneered at by my relatives, so I was very sad and cried while walking.
A few scoundrels in the village had just come out of the tavern drinking, and they were all drunken and hazy, staggering, and when they saw him crying, they became interested, so they went to inquire about him.
Meng Er didn't know, so he turned around and left.
One of the scoundrels said in a mocking manner, "If you have something difficult to say, maybe we can help." ”
At this time, Meng Er was already desperate, he was very worried about his mother's condition, and when he saw that this person was talking seriously, he had to tell him.
A few scoundrels laughed and discussed, and the scoundrel just now smiled and said, "We don't have the money to lend you, show you the way to live, in the wild ruined temple, there are incense money donated by those pilgrims, you can go and get some secretly." ”
Meng Er was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was wrong to do that, and he would offend the gods, so he shook his head.
One of the scoundrels laughed and said, "In that case, then you, a famous filial son, should watch your mother die in agony." ”
Meng Er's heart tightened, he was very sad, thought about it, let it go, and went straight to the broken temple in the wild......
Several scoundrels looked at his back and smiled back and forth, because they knew that although there was some incense money in the ruined temple, there were several fierce gods and evil gods in it, and there was a coffin.
A few days ago, the daughter of the rich man Liu was startled and choked to death because she ate eggs, and the family was grief-stricken, tears rained down, and they were reluctant to be buried, so they were temporarily placed in the broken temple.
People thought she was dead, angry, haunted, and didn't dare to go there.
And Meng Er didn't know at all, he came to the broken temple with high spirits, took out the flint and opened it, and saw several fierce and terrible statues in the broken temple.
I got up, came to the merit box and saw that there was really a little money in it, and I was very excited, so I took the money, and bowed to the idol again, telling them that I had borrowed it temporarily to see my mother's doctor, and I would pay it back later.
After that, he left in a panic, and suddenly heard a voice in the silent night, and was startled, just about to run, the voice was gone, and he wondered if it was because he took the merit incense money, the gods blamed him, and he was very afraid.
At this time, he heard the sound again, and he dared to look for it, and saw a coffin in a house behind him, and the sound came from it, and he was startled, thinking that it was haunted, and was about to run, when the sound sounded again, as if it was a wheezing sound, and he trembled with fright, and ran out.
Coming outside, he thought about the movement just now, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, he hesitated again and again, and decided to take a look, he went in and opened the lid of the coffin, and opened his mouth in shock, there was a woman in the coffin, beautiful as a flower, but her face was pale, she was already alive, he thought it was haunted, and just about to run, a faint voice came from behind: "Help me, I'm not a ghost, I'm a human." ”
Meng Er stopped, but he didn't dare to come forward, the woman sat up, "Say, if you don't believe it, I will go out, there is a moon outside, and people have shadows." ”
Meng Er felt justified and went out.
When the woman went out, Meng Er was very happy to see that she really had a shadow and was indeed alive. Sent her back.
The rich Liu's family was very scared, thinking that their daughter was not doing well below, and when they came back, they hurriedly burned the paper money and made a sad noise. Let her go and don't scare the family.
Meng Erwai shouted loudly outside, telling them what was going on, and asked them to open the crack in the door to see if it was human.
The family trembled, and half-convinced to lie on the crack of the door to see that there was a shadow behind their daughter, and they all ran out, hugged her and cried with joy.
The rich man Liu has a rich family, only a son and a daughter, a hundred acres of fertile land, a herd of cattle and sheep, and is very grateful to Meng Er for saving his daughter, knowing his temperament, he is a kind-hearted person, marrying his daughter to him, taking his parents over to live together, the family lives in harmony, and the life is comfortable.
When those scoundrels found out, their intestines were repentant, and they wanted to tease and tease him, but they never expected that people would be blessed by misfortune and live a good life. sighing is really a foolish person with a stupid blessing, a destined blessing.
