Folk tale: There is a new child servant in the house
In ancient times, there was a prosperous mansion, and the owner of the mansion was surnamed Li, a local merchant with high moral integrity. Although the Li Mansion is not as magnificent as the Imperial Palace, it also has its own unique style. Master Li, the owner of the Li Mansion, is nearly half a hundred years old, but he is still in good spirits, he has done good deeds and accumulated virtue in his life, and there are many servants in the family, but he has never oppressed people with power, so he has won the hearts of the people.
On this day, a new child servant came to the house, named Ah Fu. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was thin, but his eyes were attentive and he was very smart. The housekeeper of the Li Mansion saw that he was clever and clever, so he left him in the mansion. When Ah Fu first arrived, he was surprised by everything in the house, and he was diligent and soon won the favor of everyone.
There is a maid in the house, named Xiaocui, who is twenty-eight years old, beautiful and kind-hearted. When she saw that Ah Fu was still young, she often took care of him and taught him the rules and etiquette in the house. The two are of the same age, and they are both newcomers in the house, and they soon became good friends who talked about everything.
One day, Xiao Cui saw that Mrs. Li was choosing jewelry in the inner room, so she took the opportunity to bring Ah Fu to Mrs. Xiao Cui introduced to Madame: "Madam, this is the new child servant Ah Fu, he is smart and clever, and his hands and feet are diligent, you can see if it is suitable to stay in the mansion." ”
Mrs. Li raised her eyes to look at Ah Fu, and saw that he had clear eyebrows and good manners, so she nodded and said, "Well, it looks pretty good." However, since he is a newcomer to the house, he should always follow the rules. Xiaocui, you take him down and ask Mama to check his body and see if there is anything wrong. ”
When Xiaocui heard this, although she had doubts in her heart, she still took the order and left. She took Ah Fu to a side room in the mansion, where an experienced grandmother lived who was in charge of the entrance inspection of the servants in the mansion. Xiaocui explained her intention to Mama, and Mama let Ah Fu stand in front of her.
Mama looked Ah Fu up and down, and saw that he was neatly dressed and ruddy, so she nodded and said, "Well, it looks like a healthy child." However, since it is new to the house, you must always follow the rules. Xiao Cui, you go and pick up some clothes and let him change them. ”
Xiao Cui did as she was told, and after a while, she brought a brand new dress. Mama asked Ah Fu to take off his old clothes and put on new ones. At the moment when Ah Fu took off his old clothes, a strange pattern suddenly appeared on his back - it was a ghost head with a blue face and fangs!
Mama was shocked when she saw this, she grabbed Ah Fu's arm and asked sharply, "What are you doing?" How can it happen to you? ”
Ah Fu was taken aback by Mama's reaction, he shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know, I've had this pattern since I was a child, and I never know what's going on." ”
When Mama heard this, her face became even more solemn. She pondered for a moment, and then said to Xiao Cui: "You go and invite Madame, and say that I have something important to report." ”
Xiao Cui saw that Mama's face was solemn, and knew that this matter was not trivial, so she immediately ran to tell Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li rushed over when she heard the news, and when she saw the ghost head pattern on Ah Fu's back, she was also taken aback. She pondered for a moment, and then said to Mama, "You go and invite the Taoist priest in the mansion to see what is going on." ”
Mama took the order and left, and after a while, the Taoist priest came to the side room. When the Taoist priest saw the ghost head pattern on Ah Fu's back, his brows tightened, and then he asked Mrs. Li, "Madam, where did this child servant come from?" ”
Mrs. Li replied, "He is a new child servant in the house, and his name is Ah Fu. ”
The Taoist priest nodded, and then said, "This ghost head pattern is not trivial, it seems to be related to some ancient ghost and god legend. I'll need to look into it to find out what this is all about. ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in her heart. She looked at Ah Fu's dazed appearance, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy in her heart. She waved her hand, motioned for Xiao Cui to take Ah Fu away, and then said to the Taoist priest, "Then please investigate this matter as soon as possible." ”
The Taoist priest took the order and left, while Mrs. Li sat in the inner room, uneasy. She didn't know what kind of disaster this child servant named Ah Fu would bring to the house, and she didn't know how she would deal with this sudden change.
However, just when Mrs. Li was nervous, a strange incident in the mansion quietly came......
After the Taoist priest left, Mrs. Li sat in the inner room, her brows furrowed, and her heart was full of worry. She recalled the ghost head pattern on Ah Fu's back, and always felt that there was an unknown secret hidden behind it. She instructed Xiaocui to secretly observe Ah Fu's every move to see if she could find anything abnormal.
However, in the next few days, Ah Fu behaved unusually well-behaved in the house, he did his work diligently, never lazy, and never argued with others. Xiao Cui reported to Mrs. Li that Ah Fu did not find anything unusual except for the occasional taciturn.
Just when Mrs. Li thought that everything would be calm, a strange incident in the mansion broke the peace.
Late one night, all the servants in the palace had already slept, and only Mrs. Li was still reading alone in the inner room. Suddenly, a gloomy wind blew through the window, swaying the candles on the table. Mrs. Li looked up and saw that it was pitch black outside the window, as if something was peeking at her in the dark.
She was startled and was about to get up to close the window, when she suddenly heard a low moan coming from Ah Fu's room. The voice was eerie, like the voice of a demon coming from hell. Mrs. Li's heart tightened, and she immediately called Xiao Cui and a few servants to check what was going on.
When they came to Ah Fu's room, they saw that the door was closed, and there were strange moans coming from inside. Xiao Cui boldly pushed open the door, only to see Ah Fu lying on the bed, his eyes closed, and his face as pale as paper. There was a gloomy aura on his body, as if his whole person was enveloped by an evil force.
Madame Li was shocked when she saw this, and she immediately asked the servant to carry Ah Fu to the inner room. The Taoist priest was also urgently invited to the house. When the Taoist priest saw Ah Fu's situation, his brows tightened, and then he said to Mrs. Li: "This child servant is indeed possessed by an evil force. This power came from the ghost head pattern on his back. I need to perform an exorcism ritual for him now, or the consequences will be dire. ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she was both worried and scared. She was worried about Ah Fu's safety, and she was also afraid that this evil force would bring greater disasters to the house. She immediately agreed to the Taoist priest's suggestion and asked the Taoist priest to perform an exorcism ritual for Ah Fu.
The Taoist priest set up a magic circle next to Ah Fu's bed, then held the magic weapon in his hand and began to chant the incantation. As the sound of the Taoist priest's incantation became more and more urgent, the evil power on Ah Fu's body began to gradually appear. I saw a hideous expression on his face, as if he had turned into a green-faced and fanged demon.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest immediately increased his mana output. After a fierce battle, the evil force was finally dispersed by the Taoist priest. Ah Fu also regained his calm expression, as if he had woken up from a nightmare.
The Taoist priest told Mrs. Li that the ghost head pattern on Ah Fu's back was an ancient curse symbol. The curse was originally sealed in an ancient relic, but somehow it was transferred to Ah Fu's body. Now the curse has been dispelled, but Ah Fu's body is still weak and needs to rest and recuperate.
Lady Li was grateful to the Taoist priest for saving his life, and she asked the servants to place Ah Fu in a quiet room and sent Xiao Cui to take care of him. Under Xiaocui's careful care, Ah Fu's body gradually recovered his health. He also gradually adapted to life in the house and became a hardworking and kind child servant.
And Mrs. Li also learned a lesson from this incident, and she paid more attention to the safety precautions in the mansion to ensure that similar strange incidents would not happen in the mansion again. At the same time, she also cherishes everyone in the house more, so that they can feel the warmth and care of home.
After Ah Fu recovered in the mansion, he became more humble and courteous, and maintained a respectful and friendly attitude towards both the master and the servants in the mansion. He worked diligently and did his best to complete every task, which won everyone's praise.
However, the ghost head pattern has always been a mystery in his mind. In the dead of night, he would look in the mirror and look closely at the pattern, trying to find some clues in it. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was never able to solve the mystery.
One day, the Li Mansion welcomed a guest from afar—a Taoist priest who had traveled all over the world. After hearing about Ah Fu, the Taoist priest offered to unlock the secret of the ghost head pattern for him.
The Taoist priest told Ah Fu that this ghost head pattern was actually an ancient seal, which sealed a powerful evil ghost. This demon was originally sealed in a relic, but somehow, the seal was broken, and the demon's power was transferred to Ah Fu's body. Although the Taoist priest had dispelled the power of the demons, the pattern of the seal remained on Ah Fu's back.
The Taoist priest told Ah Fu that in order to completely break the seal, he needed to find the relic and seal it again. Only in this way can Ah Fu completely get rid of the entanglement of that evil ghost.
After hearing this, Ah Fu was both excited and worried. He was grateful for the Taoist priest's guidance, but he also knew that it was a difficult task. However, he didn't want to make himself the host of that evil spirit, and he didn't want to cause any trouble to the people in the mansion. So, he decided to embark on a journey to find the relic.
Under the guidance of the Taoist priest, Ah Fu left the Li Mansion and began his journey to find things. He trekked through mountains and rivers and went through a lot of hardships to finally find that relic - an ancient jade pendant. The jade pendant is carved with a ghost head pattern that is the same as that on Ah Fu's back, exuding a faint light.
According to the Taoist priest's instructions, Ah Fu took the jade pendant back to the Li Mansion. The Taoist priest set up a magic circle in a secret room in the mansion and began to reseal the demon. After a fierce battle, the demon was finally resealed in the jade pendant. And the ghost head pattern on Ah Fu's back also disappeared.
When Ah Fu stood in front of everyone again, he was no longer the child servant who was haunted by evil spirits. He became more confident and strong, and won everyone's respect and affection with his actions.
Mrs. Li was very happy and relieved by Ah Fu's return. She was grateful to the Taoist priest for saving his life, and she was also grateful for what Ah Fu had done for the house. She decided to take Ah Fu as her adopted son and make him the housekeeper's assistant in the house. During his days in the house, Ah Fu continued to use his diligence and wisdom to make suggestions for the affairs of the house, winning the admiration and respect of everyone.
Since then, the Li Mansion has become more prosperous with the assistance of Ah Fu, and Ah Fu has proved his worth and ability with his actions, and has become a respected and loved figure. And the jade pendant that was resealed was also properly kept by Mrs. Li and became an heirloom in the mansion.
Since Ah Fu's ghost head pattern disappeared, his life seems to have turned a new page. As the righteous son and housekeeper assistant of the Li Mansion, Ah Fu not only manages the affairs of the mansion dutifully, but also often uses his wisdom and courage to help the people in the mansion solve various problems.
One day, the village where Li's house is located was hit by a rare flood. Floodwaters swept away farmland and houses, leaving villagers in dire straits. Mrs. Li cared about the villagers and decided to contribute funds to help rebuild their homes. However, how to effectively organize and allocate resources has become a major problem.
Just when everyone was helpless, Ah Fu stood up. He used the management knowledge he had learned in the government to develop a detailed reconstruction plan. He first organized a rescue team composed of servants and villagers in the prefecture to search and rescue the trapped villagers and transfer their property. He then contacted nearby artisans and merchants to buy a large number of building materials and tools in preparation for the rebuilding of his home.
Under the overall arrangement of Ah Fuk, the reconstruction work is proceeding in an orderly manner. The villagers rallied together to fight the floods and soon rebuilt their homes that had been destroyed by the floods. The village has returned to its former prosperity, and the villagers' gratitude to Ah Fu is beyond words.
However, Ah Fu was not complacent because of this. He knows that his achievements are inseparable from the cultivation of the government and the support of the villagers. So, he worked harder and repaid everyone's kindness with his practical actions.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Ah Fu has become an important figure in the Li Mansion. He not only manages the affairs of the house, but also participates in various charitable activities to help the poor. His good deeds were widely praised among the people, and he became a respected and beloved hero.
And the ghost head pattern that once haunted him also became a turning point in his life. He knew very well that it was that ghost head pattern that made him experience the test of life and death and the tempering of life, and also made him cherish the happiness and peace in front of him even more. Therefore, he has always maintained a grateful and humble heart, and interpreted the truth of "good deeds are rewarded" with his own actions.
The story spread among the people and became a legend of courage, wisdom, and kindness. It tells people that in the face of difficulties and challenges, as long as they maintain firm faith and courage, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize their life values. At the same time, it also reminds people to cherish the happiness and tranquility around them, and use their actions to care for and help others, so as to create a better world together.
