The man wanted to marry two wives at the same time and begged the fox fairy, but the fox fairy turned him into a dog
In the ancient village, there is a legend that the fox fairy in the mountains has boundless magic power and can grant people's wishes, but the price of asking for it is also very high. Li Er, a young man in the village, has always believed in the legend of the fox fairy. He is handsome, but his personality is a little greedy and arrogant, always thinking that he can take advantage of everything in the world.
This year, Li Er was engaged to two girls in the village at the same time, one was a gentle and virtuous Linglong, and the other was a lively and lovely Xiugu. Both girls were deeply in love with him, but he couldn't make up his mind who to marry. In his heart, Linglong is a good housekeeper and a typical virtuous helper, while Xiugu can sing and dance, which can always bring him emotional pleasure. He wanted both, and a ridiculous idea began to form in his mind - he wanted to marry two wives at the same time.
This had never been done before in the village, and he knew that it would attract countless criticisms and obstacles, but greed and selfishness made him desperate. He had heard of the legend of the fox fairy and decided to try his luck to see if he could use the fox fairy's magic power to fulfill his absurd wish.
Li Er took the offerings and stepped into the deep mountains and old forests that are said to be infested by fox fairies late at night. The moonlight was obscured by the dense foliage, and only dappled spots of light fell on the ground. The night wind howled, the leaves rustled, as if countless pairs of eyes were peering at him in the dark. There was some fear in his heart, but the greedy desire drove him on.
Finally, he came to the legendary Fox Immortal Temple. It is an ancient and mysterious small temple, and the stone tablet in front of the temple is engraved with some ancient words and patterns, which have been eroded into obscurity by the years. Li Er knelt in front of the temple, prayed sincerely, and said his wish loudly: "Lord Fox Fairy, I, Li Er, am willing to pay all the price, I just ask you to let me marry Linglong and Xiugu at the same time, and enjoy the blessings of all people." ”
As soon as the words fell, a faint blue fire suddenly lit up in the temple, and an ethereal woman's voice echoed in the night sky: "Oh? Do you know how heavy the price is?"
Li Er was shocked, but greed still prevailed, and he said firmly: "No matter what the price, I am willing to pay!"
"Well," the fox fairy's voice carried a hint of amusement, "since you are so persistent, I will fulfill you." But remember, greed comes at a price. ”
After speaking, a ghostly light flashed, and Li Er only felt that his body was light, and then he lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he found that he had turned into a dog! He barked in horror, but could only bark "Wang". He looked around and found himself lying on the path at the entrance of the village, and the passers-by were looking at him strangely.
Li Er realized in despair that his greed had really paid a heavy price. He began to wander around, hoping to find a way to turn back into a human. However, he soon discovers that as a dog, he is being ostracized and bullied in the village like never before. The children threw stones at him, the adults drove him away, and some even tried to beat him with sticks.
Li Er's heart was full of remorse and fear. He began to miss his life as a human being, the delicate gentleness and the laughter of Xiugu. He finally understands that greed not only made him lose his human form, but also made him lose his originally peaceful and happy life.
However, everything is irretrievable. He can only wander around the village as a stray dog, looking for a glimmer of warmth to survive. Whenever night fell, he would hide in a no-man's corner, silently licking his wounds, reminiscing about the past.
As the days passed, Li Er gradually adapted to the life of a dog. He began to learn to find food from the garbage heap and to avoid people and cars with malicious intentions. There is still a glimmer of hope in his heart that he will one day be able to regain his humanity.
One day, when he was foraging for food by the garbage heap, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Li Er, is it you?" He raised his head and saw the surprised and concerned eyes of Linglong and Xiugu. They seem to recognize him, even though he's just a dog now.
Li Er's heart was full of guilt and remorse. He wagged his tail vigorously, as if apologizing to them. Linglong and Xiugu looked at him, their eyes full of tears. They knew that this was the price that Li Er paid for his greed.
Since then, Linglong and Xiugu have often brought him some food and water. They were there for him, as if to tell him that no matter what he became, they would be there for him. And Li Er also seems to have found a glimmer of hope for life in the love of Linglong and Xiugu.
However, in the dead of night, he would still lie alone in the corner, looking up at the stars, nostalgic for his former life. His heart was filled with remorse and self-blame, and he knew that it was all caused by his own greed. If he hadn't been so greedy and wanted to have two wives at the same time, maybe he would still be living happily ever after.
Time passed, and Li Er's body gradually aged. His hair began to fall out and his gait faltered. However, he still insisted on going to the entrance of the village every day to wait for the arrival of Linglong and Xiugu. Whenever he saw their familiar figures, a twinkle flashed in his eyes.
Finally, one day, when Linglong and Xiugu came to the entrance of the village again, they found that Li Er had been lying there quietly and never woke up. There was a hint of contentment and serenity in his eyes, as if to tell them that I had found inner peace and redemption.
Linglong and Xiugu silently dug a grave for him and buried him in the woods where they often met. They knew that this was Li Er's best destination. And his story has also become a warning that has been passed down through the ages in the village: greed is the root of all evil, and only by being content and happy can we have true happiness.
Not long after Li Er was buried, a strange thing happened in the village. In the dead of night, the villagers could hear the sound of complaining cries coming from the woods, and the sound was like a cry and a cry that made people feel pity when they heard it. Some people say that it was Li Er's ghost crying, and he regretted his greed and selfishness, but he could not be redeemed.
The legend quickly spread through the village, causing curiosity and fear among the villagers. Some people don't even dare to go out at night for fear of encountering Li Er's ghost. However, there are also brave people who decide to seek the truth.
Zhang Dayong, a young man from the village, is one of them. He was a bold and careful man, always curious about the legends of the village. He decided to go into the woods at night and find out.
As night fell, Zhang Dayong quietly entered the woods with a flashlight and a shovel. He followed the murmurful cry and walked cautiously. The woods were pitch black, except for the glow of a flashlight weaving through the trees. His heart was beating faster, nervous and excited.
Finally, he came to Li Er's tomb. I saw that the tombstone was engraved with the four big characters of "Li Erzhi's Tomb", and some fresh fruits and flowers were placed in front of the tombstone, obviously someone had visited. And the cry of resentment came from behind the tombstone.
Zhang Dayong took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to go around the tombstone. However, instead of seeing Li Er's ghost, he saw a beautiful woman who was crouching in front of Li Er's grave and weeping in a low voice.
Zhang Dayong was taken aback, he didn't expect to meet someone here. He asked softly, "Who are you, and why are you crying here?"
The woman looked up, revealing a beautiful face. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously been crying for a long time. She choked up and said, "I am Li Er's fiancée Linglong before his death, I come here every day to see him, and I have never been able to accept the fact that he has left." ”
Zhang Dayong felt pity, and he comforted: "Linglong girl, the festival is smooth." Li Er has already gone, you have to take good care of yourself. ”
Linglong wiped her tears and said, "I know he's gone, I just can't accept his departure." He could have had a great future, but lost his life because of his greed and selfishness. ”
Zhang Dayong sighed: "Yes, greed is the root of all evil. Li Er's story is a wake-up call to us that we should cherish our current life and be content and happy. ”
Linglong nodded and said, "You're right. I will try to come out of the shadows and start a new life. ”
Since then, Linglong no longer goes to Li Er's grave every day to cry. She began to pick herself up and live her life her own way. And Zhang Dayong often visits her, bringing her care and warmth.
However, Li Er's story does not end there. His legend has been passed down in the village for a long, long time. In the dead of night, the villagers could still hear the murmurful cries coming from the woods. Some people say that it is Li Er's ghost repenting of her mistakes, others say that it is the sound of Linglong's crying, and she still can't forget the pain that Li Er once brought her.
Regardless of the truth, Li Er's story left a deep impression on the villagers. They have learned from this story: greed and selfishness only make people lose more, and true happiness and joy can only be achieved by being content and cherishing the life they have.
As time passed, the village gradually regained its former tranquility and harmony, but Li Er's story remained forever in the hearts of the villagers and became an eternal legend, passed down from generation to generation as a warning to future generations.
And on the other side of the village, a new story is unfolding. It was a story of love, courage, and redemption. The story of Linglong and Zhang Dayong has become a good story in the village, and they use their actions to interpret what true love and courage are.
Linglong, accompanied by Zhang Dayong, gradually walked out of the shadow of Li Er's death, and she began to face life and herself again. And Zhang Dayong has always supported her and encouraged her, making her feel unprecedented warmth and strength.
Their relationship grew deeper and deeper, and finally one day, Zhang Dayong mustered up the courage to propose to Linglong. Linglong looked at his sincere eyes and was moved to tears. She nodded her head and agreed to the proposal, and threw herself into his arms.
Their wedding took place in the village and all the villagers came to bless them. At that moment, Linglong was happy and happy, and she finally found her own home and happiness.
On the night of the wedding, the moonlight sprinkled on the village ground like water. Linglong and Zhang Dayong walked hand in hand on the village road, enjoying this hard-won happy time. They looked at each other and smiled, and their hearts were full of anticipation and longing for the future.
And Li Er, who had brought Linglong endless pain, was silently blessing them as if he had a spirit in the sky at this moment. Although his story is over, his legend will remain in the village and in everyone's hearts forever.
Since then, there has been a happy couple in the village, and their story has become a good story in the village. The legend of greed and redemption has faded with the passage of time, but the warning it leaves behind will always be engraved in the hearts of every villager: cherish the present and be content to be happy in order to have true happiness and joy.
