The enemy was jealous of his family's prosperity, and buried iron arrows in the ancestral grave, inadvertently helping a lot
At the foot of the ancient Qingfeng Mountain, there is a small village called Shijiawan. There is a man named Shi Dafu in the village, he is loyal, hardworking and capable, and his family is well-off, and he is the envy of everyone in the village. However, there was a man in the village who was jealous of him, Zhao Xiaojian, who had a grudge against Shi Dafu when he was young because of a dispute over land.
Shi Dafu's fortune seems to be extraordinarily prosperous, whether it is planting crops or raising livestock, he can always get a few more harvests than others. This made him famous in the village, and even the wealthy merchants in the county town often sent people to befriend him. Zhao Xiaojian saw it in his eyes and hated it in his heart, he always felt that the reason why he had been poor was because Shi Dafu's fortune overpowered him.
One day, while drinking in the town, Zhao Xiaojian stumbled upon a Taoist priest talking about feng shui, which mentioned the influence of the location of the ancestral tomb on the fortunes of future generations. Zhao Xiaojian's heart moved, and he secretly thought: "Shi Dafu's fortune is so strong, could it be that the feng shui of his ancestral tomb is good? If I can destroy the feng shui of his ancestral tomb, wouldn't it be able to make his family fall into the middle of the road, and I can also take the opportunity to turn over?"
So, Zhao Xiaojian secretly inquired about the location of the ancestral tomb of the Shi family and learned that it was located on a hillside behind the village. Taking advantage of the night, he quietly came to the ancestral grave of the Shi family, took out an iron arrow that had been prepared from his arms, and stuck it in the grave. Zhao Xiaojian thought to himself: "This iron arrow is a sharp weapon to break feng shui, and the fortune of the Shi Dafu family will definitely be damaged because of this." ”
However, the development of things was beyond Zhao Xiaojian's expectations. Since he buried the iron arrow in the ancestral grave of the Shi family, Shi Dafu's fortune has not only not weakened, but has become more vigorous. The Shi family's fields were bumper and the livestock were extremely strong, and even Shi Dafu himself felt a little incredible.
Zhao Xiaojian saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, he didn't understand why his plan didn't work. So, he decided to go to the ancestral tomb of the Shi family again to check out. When he came to the grave, he was surprised to find that the iron arrow had grown roots, like a small sapling, full of green.
Zhao Xiaojian was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: "Could this be the will of heaven? Could it be that this iron arrow not only did not destroy the Feng Shui of the Shi family, but instead became an object of help?" He felt remorseful in his heart, but he was helpless.
And Shi Dafu didn't know anything about it, and he still lived a peaceful and prosperous life. Until one day, a monk who traveled here passed by Shijiawan and saw the iron arrow on the ancestral tomb of the Shi family, and couldn't help but admire: "This is a strange thing created by heaven and earth, named 'iron and wood arrow', which can gather the qi of the Quartet and the luck of the prosperous family." The Shi family got this treasure to help, and their fortune was naturally prosperous. ”
When Shi Dafu heard this, he was grateful, and he understood that his family's good fortune was not accidental, but blessed by the power of heaven and earth. He cherished the happy life in front of him even more, worked hard to run the family business, and made the Shi family's life more prosperous.
And after Zhao Xiaojian learned the truth, he was even more remorseful in his heart. He understood that his jealousy not only harmed himself, but also almost harmed Shi Dafu's family. He was determined to turn over a new leaf, no longer being jealous of others, and instead relying on his own efforts to live a better life.
Since then, the villagers of Shijiawan have known a truth: jealousy is indispensable, and only hard work and kindness can be exchanged for true happiness. And the fortune of Shi Dafu's family has always been vigorous, and it has become a good story in the village.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle. Shi Dafu's life became more and more prosperous, and Zhao Xiaojian gradually changed the situation of poverty through his own efforts. He no longer resents Shi Dafu, but uses him as an example to follow, and the hatred between the two gradually fades under the washing of the years.
One day, Shi Dafu held a banquet at his home and invited the village elders and relatives and friends to gather together. During the dinner, he talked about the story of the iron arrow on the ancestral grave, lamenting that the will of heaven is unpredictable and life is impermanent. When everyone heard this, they were amazed and congratulated the Shi family on their good luck.
Zhao Xiaojian was also invited, and he sat in the corner, silently listening to Shi Dafu's story. An inexplicable feeling surged in his heart, he stood up, walked in front of Shi Dafu, bowed deeply, and said, "Brother Dafu, I used to be confused, jealous of your family's wealth, and did something wrong. Now I understand my mistake, and I am grateful for the good fortune that your iron arrow has brought me. In the future, I am willing to work with you for the well-being of the village. ”
When Shi Dafu heard this, his heart warmed, he held Zhao Xiaojian's hand and said, "Brother Xiaojian, let it pass in the past." From now on, we brothers will work together for the development of the village. ”
Since then, Shi Dafu and Zhao Xiaojian have become inseparable friends, and the two have worked together to make hard efforts for the prosperity of Shijiawan. The villagers of Shijiawan are also living a better and better life under their leadership.
And the magical "ironwood arrow" still stands on the ancestral tomb of the Shi family, like a guardian saint, silently guarding the prosperity and happiness of the Shi family. When night falls, the moonlight shines on the arrow, and it emits a faint golden light, adding a sense of mystery and peace to the whole village.
As the years passed, the children and grandchildren of Shi Dafu and Zhao Xiaojian also inherited their diligence and kindness. The villagers of Shijiawan still sing the magical story of the "iron and wood arrow" as a symbol of the family's prosperity. And the friendship between Shi Dafu and Zhao Xiaojian has also been remembered by later generations and has become a beautiful talk in the village.
However, on a stormy night, Shijiawan suddenly suffered a rare flash flood. The flood came like a beast, flooding vast fields and houses in an instant. The villagers panicked and fled in all directions. At this critical moment, Shi Dafu stepped forward, he organized the villagers to quickly evacuate to high places, and at the same time sent people to the county seat to ask for help.
In this disaster, the ancestral tomb of the Shi family was not spared. When the villagers returned to the village after the flood, they found that the ancestral grave had been washed away and the magical "ironwood arrow" was gone. The villagers were heartbroken and lamented the loss of their family's patron saint.
Shi Dafu stood in front of the ruins, his eyes shining with determination. He told everyone: "Although the 'iron and wood arrow' has disappeared, our faith and unity cannot be lost. As long as we work together to rebuild our homeland, we will be able to prosper again. ”
Under the leadership of Shi Dafu, the villagers quickly took action. They rebuild houses, repair fields, and work together to restore the vitality of their homes. After a period of hard work, Shijiawan finally returned to its former prosperity.
And just as the villagers were rebuilding their homes, a surprising news came. It turned out that in that flash flood, the "iron and wood arrow" was not washed away by the flood, but was washed to the foot of a mountain behind the village. After the flood waters receded, an expedition stumbled upon it and brought it back to the village.
When the villagers heard the news, they rushed to see the miraculous arrow. They lamented the unpredictability of providence, and also lamented the prosperity of the family and the protection of the patron saint. Shi Dafu relocated the "iron and wood arrow" next to the ancestral grave and told everyone: "This is the treasure of our family, and it is also a symbol of our unity and faith." We must cherish it, and we must cherish the friendship and unity between us. ”
Since then, the villagers of Shijiawan have cherished their friendship with each other even more, and they have worked together to face the challenges of life. And the "Iron and Wood Arrow" also continued to guard the prosperity and happiness of the Shi family, becoming a legend and symbol in the village.
Time flies, time flies. The story of Shijiawan has been passed down from generation to generation, and the magical "ironwood arrow" has also become a historical witness in the village. It has witnessed the prosperity and prosperity of the Shi family, as well as the spirit of unity and common struggle of the villagers. And this spirit will always inspire the children and grandchildren of Shijiawan, so that they can continue to create a more brilliant future in the days to come. As time passed, Shijiawan became more and more prosperous, and the living standards of the villagers also rose. The children and grandchildren of Shi Dafu and Zhao Xiaojian have carried forward the spirit of family unity, and they have made good achievements in their respective fields and made great contributions to the development of the village.
However, just when Shijiawan was peaceful, a sudden plague swept through the village. The plague was so raging that many villagers fell ill and the whole village was in a state of panic. Although the children and grandchildren of the Shi family tried their best to find a cure, the epidemic continued to spread.
Just when everyone was helpless, the monk who had pointed out the mystery of the "iron and wood arrow" traveled here again. When he heard about the plague in Shijiawan, he took the initiative to come to help. After inspecting the epidemic, the monk told the villagers: "This plague is caused by evil spirits, and it needs to be expelled with the power of heaven and earth." And your Shi family's 'Iron and Wood Arrow' is a treasure that gathers the qi of heaven and earth, and may be able to help us. ”
So, with the assistance of the descendants of the Shi family, the monks placed the "iron and wood arrow" on the high ground in the center of the village and began to perform rituals. He had words in his mouth, his hands were sealed, and a powerful air current emanated from the "Ironwood Arrow", enveloping the entire village.
As the ritual progressed, the villagers were surprised to find that the sick villagers had gradually recovered. The momentum of the plague was gradually suppressed, and finally disappeared completely. The villagers cheered and thanked the monks and the "iron and wood arrows" for their protection.
After this incident, the villagers' awe of the "iron and wood arrow" was even deeper. They understand that this is not only a magical treasure, but also a symbol of family unity and strong faith. In every corner of Shijiawan, there are legends and stories about the "iron and wood arrow", inspiring future generations to keep moving forward.
And Shijiawan has also been revitalized after this plague. The villagers are united to build their homes together, making the village more prosperous. The descendants of the Shi family have also passed on this spirit of unity, and they have achieved more brilliant achievements in their respective fields, bringing endless glory to the family and the village.
As the years go by, the story of Shijiawan continues. The magical "Ironwood Arrow" still stands in the middle of the village, guarding the land and its people. The villagers of Shijiawan will always remember the spirit of family unity and create a better future together.
