Folk tale: The "coffin keeper" hid the couple in the coffin to escape, but they got revenge for it
In a small village in ancient times, there was a man named Lin Feng, who was the only coffin keeper in the village. The coffin keeper is a peculiar profession in the local area, mainly responsible for maintaining the tombs and guarding the peace of the dead. Although Lin Feng is young, he has a calm personality and thoughtfulness, and has won the trust of the villagers.
One day, when Lin Feng was inspecting the cemetery, he met a young couple, who looked panicked, as if they were in serious trouble. Lin Feng was puzzled, so he stepped forward to ask. The couple told him that they were strangers who had fled all the way to escape the war. Unexpectedly, their whereabouts were discovered by the enemy, and they are now being hunted down by the enemy. They had heard that the people of this small village were very kind, and they wanted to take a break from the limelight.
Lin Feng heard what happened to the couple and felt sympathy, so he decided to help them. He thought about it and finally decided to hide the couple in his coffin. This coffin was prepared by him for himself, and it was usually placed in the corner of the cemetery, and few people paid attention to it. Lin Feng opened the coffin and let the couple in, then closed the coffin lid and covered the coffin tightly with dirt and weeds.
In this way, the couple spent a long few days in the coffin. Although they were afraid, their hearts were full of gratitude when they thought of Lin Feng's help. And Lin Feng also kept an eye on the movements outside, for fear that the enemy would come to the door.
A few days later, the enemy family really chased down this small village. They searched everywhere, but could not find any trace of the couple. The leader of the enemy family was so angry that he ordered the villagers to gather together and ask about the whereabouts of the couple. Although the villagers were afraid, they all knew that the couple were hidden by Lin Feng, so they were tight-lipped and refused to reveal half a word.
Seeing this, the leader of the enemy family was even more furious, and he drew his sword and threatened to kill the villagers. At this moment, Lin Feng stepped forward, and he calmly said to the leader of the enemy family: "I know the whereabouts of the couple, but you can't hurt the villagers. If you promise to let them go, I'll tell you where the couple is. ”
The leader of the enemy family hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and agreed to Lin Feng's request. Lin Feng took the leader of the enemy family to the cemetery, pointed to the coffin that was covered by dirt and weeds, and said, "The couple are hiding here. ”
When the leader of the enemy family heard this, he immediately ordered his subordinates to dig up the coffin. When the coffin was opened, the couple poked their heads out in horror and trembled when they saw the leader of the enemy's family. However, the leader of the enemy family did not make a move immediately, but looked at Lin Feng, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Lin Feng said lightly: "I have already told you the whereabouts of the couple according to your request. Now, it's time for you to release the villagers. ”
The leader of the enemy family was silent for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing: "Do you think I will really let them go? I just want to know the whereabouts of the husband and wife. Now, they and you all have to die!"
As he spoke, the leader of the enemy family swung his knife and slashed at Lin Feng. Lin Feng had already prepared, and his figure flashed and dodged this knife. Then, he quickly pulled out a short sword from his waist and engaged in a fierce battle with the leader of the enemy.
Although the leader of the enemy family was strong in martial arts, Lin Feng was agile and his moves were strange, and he couldn't get close for a while. Seeing this, other members of the enemy family also surrounded him, wanting to help the leader. However, the villagers did not sit idly by, they picked up farm tools one after another, and started a fight with the members of the enemy.
For a time, the swords and swords on the cemetery shook the sky. After a fierce battle, Lin Feng finally stabbed the enemy leader in the chest with a sword, knocking him to the ground. Seeing this, the other members of the enemy family scattered and fled.
The villagers cheered, and they gathered around to thank Lin Feng for saving his life. Lin Feng said lightly: "This is what I should do." It's just a pity that the couple couldn't be saved. ”
With that, he walked over to the coffin and gently lifted the lid of the coffin. I saw that the couple had passed out, obviously overly frightened. Lin Feng hurriedly took out some herbs, dressed their wounds, and fed them some water. After a while, the couple finally woke up, and they looked at Lin Feng with gratitude and respect in their eyes.
Since then, Lin Feng's reputation has spread in the village. He is not only a brave coffin keeper, but also a hero with affection and righteousness. With the help of Lin Feng, the couple gradually recovered, and they settled in the village, lived in harmony with the villagers, and lived a peaceful life.
However, this is only the first half of the story. As for what happened next, then we need to go on. But no matter what happens, Lin Feng will stick to his duty, protect the peace of the deceased, and also guard the justice and kindness in his heart. Folk tale: The "coffin keeper" hid the couple in the coffin to escape, but they got revenge for it
The second half
Since that incident, Lin Feng's status in the hearts of the villagers has become even more loal. He not only guarded the cemetery, but also guarded the peace of the village, becoming the guardian of the villagers. And that couple, with the help of Lin Feng, gradually returned to normalcy in their lives. They are hardworking, kind, and helpful, and soon integrate into the village and become a member of the village.
However, the calm days did not last long. One day, a few years later, the remnants of the enemy suddenly attacked the village, and they were so overwhelmed that the villagers had no power to resist. Watching the villagers fall one by one, Lin Feng's heart was filled with anger and grief. He knew that this time he could not sit idly by.
So, Lin Feng stepped forward and started a fierce battle with the remnants of the enemy. His swordsmanship was sharp and his moves were unique, and for a time the remnants of the enemy family couldn't get close. However, the remnants of the enemy family were numerous, and although Lin Feng was brave, he gradually felt powerless.
At this moment, the couple suddenly rushed out, holding farm tools and fighting side by side with Lin Feng. It turned out that in the past few years, they had been secretly cultivating martial arts, hoping to repay Lin Feng's kindness one day. Now, they finally have that opportunity.
With the addition of the couple, the tide of battle was immediately reversed. The three of them cooperated tacitly, and soon beat the remnants of the enemy to the ground. In the end, Lin Feng stabbed to death the leader of the enemy family with a sword, completely eliminating the hidden danger for the village.
The villagers cheered, and they were proud of the bravery of Lin Feng and his wife. But Lin Feng said lightly: "I just did what I was supposed to do." Moreover, the real heroes are you, and it is you who have given me the strength to protect the village. ”
Since then, Lin Feng, his wife and the villagers have guarded this small village and lived a peaceful and peaceful life. Lin Feng also continued his duties as a coffin keeper, guarding the peace of the deceased. The couple became the village's martial arts instructors, teaching the villagers martial arts in preparation for future disasters.
As the years passed, Lin Feng gradually grew old, but his spirit was still strong. He often sat in the corner of the cemetery, looking at the quiet tombs, and his heart was full of peace and contentment. He knew that he had fulfilled his mission, guarding the peace of the village, as well as the justice and kindness in his heart.
However, just as Lin Feng was about to finish his life's journey, an unexpected thing happened. On that day, a strange young man came to the village, claiming to be a descendant of the enemy family, to avenge his ancestors.
Lin Feng looked at the young man in front of him, and there was not the slightest panic in his heart. He said lightly: "When is the time for retribution, the hatred of the past, let it pass." It's time for you to let go of your hatred and pursue your own happiness. ”
The young man listened to Lin Feng's words and was silent for a long time. Finally, he nodded and said, "I see, thank you for your teachings." With that, he turned and left the village.
Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Lin Feng sighed softly. He knows that there is still a lot of hatred and strife in this world, but he believes that as long as people have love, kindness, and tolerance in their hearts, then the world will definitely become a better place.
Soon after, Lin Feng passed away peacefully. His life, though ordinary, is full of legends. He used his bravery and kindness to protect the peace of the village, and also won the respect and love of the villagers. His deeds were passed down by word of mouth among the villagers and became a beautiful folk tale that has been passed down through the ages.
And that village, because of a guardian like Lin Feng, has always maintained tranquility and harmony. The villagers lived happily ever after, and their hearts were filled with gratitude and respect. They knew that all this was because of Lin Feng, the brave coffin keeper, the hero with affection and righteousness.
