Folk Tales: A Mysterious Warning on the Night of the Round Grave
In the ancient village, there is a mysterious story. There is a young man named Ah Qiang in Chen Village, who has a deep affection with his wife Ah Fang, and the two live a plain and happy life. However, fate played a cruel joke on them. Ah Fong died of illness, leaving Ah Qiang in deep grief.
According to local custom, three days after the death of his wife, the husband goes to the round grave, that is, to add soil to the grave of the deceased wife and pay respects. With a heavy heart, Ah Qiang came to Ah Fang's grave. He silently added the soil, and his heart was filled with endless thoughts.
Just then, a breeze blew, and there was a rustling sound in the woods. Cuong looked up and saw a huge python slowly crawling out of the woods, its eyes shining with a deep light, as if it could perceive people's hearts.
Cuong was shocked, but he didn't back down. He knew that in this ancient land, everything had a spirit, and perhaps this python was here to convey some kind of message. So, he took a deep breath and asked respectfully, "Mr. Anaconda , what do you have to tell you?"
The python slowly raised its head and spat out the letter, as if thinking about how to speak. After a few moments, it finally spoke, its voice low and majestic: "There are people in the trees. ”
When Ah Qiang heard this, he was shocked again. He looked around, but he didn't see a figure in the tree. Puzzled, he asked, "Mr. Anaconda, what do you mean? I didn't see anyone in the tree." ”
The python tilted its head slightly, and motioned with his eyes to Cuong to look at a stout tree. Cuong followed the python's gaze and saw that there did seem to be a faint shaking in the treetops. An inexplicable fear suddenly rose in his heart, could it really be that someone was peeping at him from the tree?
He cautiously approached the tree, his eyes fixed on the treetops. Suddenly, a figure jumped from a tree and landed in front of him. Ah Qiang looked at it and saw that it was an old man in rags.
The old man looked at Ah Qiang, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. He spoke slowly, "Young man, your wife is a good person, and her departure is a loss to this land. I'm here to tell you a secret. ”
Ah Qiang's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What secret?"
The old man took a deep breath and said, "Your wife entrusted me with something before she died. She wants me to tell you that she once hid a fortune in a hidden place, hoping to help you in your future troubles. ”
When Ah Qiang heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. He looked at the old man gratefully and said, "Thank you seniors, I will definitely remember my wife's kindness." ”
The old man nodded, and turned to leave. However, when he turned around, the python suddenly spoke: "Old man, why do you know this secret?"
The old man stopped and looked back at the python, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "It's fate." I had a relationship with your wife, and she trusted me to entrust this to me. ”
The python didn't seem satisfied with this answer, and it continued to ask, "And how did you know that I was going to be here and deliver this news to you?"
The old man smiled slightly and said, "This is a heavenly opportunity that cannot be revealed. I can only tell you that everything is arranged by fate. ”
With that, the old man turned and disappeared into the woods. The python also slowly crawled back into the forest, leaving Cuong standing alone in front of the grave, his heart full of endless emotion.
From that day on, Cuong found that wealth according to his wife's instructions. He used the money to improve lives and also helped many people in need. He always remembered his wife's kindness, and he was grateful for the help of the mysterious python and the old man.
This story has been passed down in Chen Village and has become a good story. People say that it was the kindness of his wife and the help of the python and the old man that got Cuong out of the predicament and made this story an eternal legend.
And when night falls, the rustle of pythons and the whispers of old men can still be heard in the woods, as if telling this mysterious and touching story.
Cuong would often return to Ah Fang's grave, silently adding soil, reminiscing about the past. He knows that although his wife has passed away, her love and care will always be with him and become the most valuable asset in his life.
This story teaches us that although fate is impermanent, kindness and gratitude can bring miracles. As long as we have good intentions and bravely face the difficulties and challenges in life, we will be able to get out of the difficulties and meet a better future.
