Golden chicken bones
In the ancient Jiangnan water town, there is a mysterious legend about the golden chicken bone. It is said that this golden chicken bone is not an extraordinary thing, it has magical powers, it can bring endless wealth to people, but it also hides unpredictable disasters. In this quiet town, there lives a young couple, who are hardworking and kind, but live a poor life.
The man's name was Amin, and he was a fisherman who made a living by going out early and returning late every day, casting nets on the river and fishing. His wife, Xiaofang, is a virtuous peasant girl, spinning and weaving, and taking care of housework.
One day, while fishing, Amin accidentally fished a small golden box from the bottom of the river. When he opened it, he saw that it contained a hundred taels of gold. Ah Ming was pleasantly surprised and told Xiaofang about it. After discussing with the two, they decided to use the windfall to improve their lives, and at the same time do some good deeds to help their neighbors.
However, the good times were short-lived. Shortly after Mr. and Mrs. Amin got the gold, a strange thing happened in their home. Amin's mother, an elderly and frail woman, died suddenly and for no apparent reason. This sudden bad news made the Amin couple grief-stricken, and also plunged them into deep confusion.
At his mother's funeral, a well-traveled Taoist priest passed by here, heard about it, and took the initiative to visit. After observing the feng shui of Ah Ming's house, the Taoist priest told Ah Ming and his wife with a solemn face that the reason why their mother died suddenly was because of the golden chicken bones hidden in the house, and although these golden chicken bones can bring wealth, they can also attract evil spirits and lead to the destruction of the family.
Ah Ming and his wife were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly asked the Taoist priest how to resolve it. The Taoist priest pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to resolve this calamity, you must find the golden chicken bones and burn them when the rooster crows, so as to destroy the evil and keep the family house safe." ”
After hearing this, Ah Ming and his wife hurriedly searched for golden chicken bones in their home. However, they searched every corner of the house, but there was no trace of the golden chicken bones. Just when the two of them were disheartened, Xiao Fang suddenly remembered the small box containing gold. She hurriedly took out the box and opened it, only to see that in addition to the gold, there was also a glittering chicken bone.
Xiao Fang exclaimed: "Could this be the golden chicken bone that the Taoist priest said? Seeing this, Ah Ming was also dumbfounded. The two glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that this golden chicken bone was the culprit who caused their mother's death.
So, the two decided to follow the instructions of the Taoist priest and burn the golden chicken bones when the rooster crowed. However, just as they were about to make a move, Xiao Fang suddenly stopped. She looked at the golden chicken bone in her hand, and a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
"Amin, can this golden chicken bone really bring wealth?" Xiao Fang asked.
Amin was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, but it also brought disaster. We can no longer be fooled by money, we must burn it in order to resolve the catastrophe in our homes. ”
Xiao Fang nodded, but there was still some reluctance in her heart. She stroked the golden chicken bone, as if she could feel the alluring aura it emanated. At this moment, the golden chicken bone suddenly emitted a dazzling light, reflecting the figures of the two clearly.
After the light dissipated, the two were surprised to find that there was a mysterious stranger in the originally empty room. This man was dressed in a black robe and a hat, and his face could not be seen clearly. He looked at the golden chicken bone in the hands of Ah Ming and his wife, and said lightly: "Do you know the origin of this golden chicken bone?" ”
Mr. and Mrs. Amin shook their heads, indicating that they did not know. The man in black continued, "This golden rooster bone is an ancient artifact with magical powers. But whoever gets it has access to endless wealth and power. However, this power is not easy to come by, and it must be paid a price. ”
"The price? At what cost? Xiaofang asked nervously.
The man in black didn't answer directly, but turned and walked out the door. As he walked, he said, "Remember, greed is the root of all evil. If you want to truly resolve this calamity, you still need to understand it yourself. With that, he disappeared into the night.
Mr. and Mrs. Amin looked at the back of the man in black leaving, and their hearts were full of doubts and uneasiness. They didn't know who the man in black was, or what he meant. But one thing is clear to them - this golden chicken bone must not be left at home.
So, when the rooster crowed, Mr. and Mrs. Amin took out the golden chicken bones and placed them on the pyre in the middle of the yard. They lit the pyre, and the fire blazed. The golden chicken bones made a terrible wail in the fire, as if to tell something. However, the Amin couple burned it mercilessly.
With the disappearance of the golden chicken bones, the evil in Amin's family also dissipated. Since then, the Amin couple have lived a peaceful life. They use their diligence and wisdom to create their own happiness and wealth. And that magical golden chicken bone has become an eternal mystery and warning in their hearts. As the golden chicken bones turned to ashes, the sky above Amin's house seemed to dispel a layer of gloom, and the sunlight sprinkled through the clouds into the courtyard, gilding everything with a layer of gold. However, despite the dissipation of evil, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang's hearts are not completely calm.
Who is the mysterious man in black? What do his words mean? The origin of the golden chicken bone and the price it brings have always lingered in the hearts of the two like a fog. They begin to realize that this sudden wealth is not so simple, it is like a Pandora's box that once opened, it can never be closed.
In the days that followed, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang began to live more cautiously. Instead of squandering that windfall as they did in the past, they used it to improve the lives of their neighbors. They built schools so that all the children in the village could be educated; They repaired the roads in the village to make it easier for everyone to get around; They have also set up a charitable fund to help families who are struggling to do so.
However, despite all the good things they have done, they still have a hard time letting go of their hearts. They often think of the mysterious man in black and what he said. They began to think, what kind of existence is greed? How can it put people in a situation from which they will never recover?
In the process, Ah Ming and Xiaofang gradually realize that greed is actually a human weakness. It's like a bottomless pit that can never be satisfied. When a person starts to be greedy, he becomes blind and selfish, and even does something that is contrary to conscience and morality in order to satisfy his desires. And these actions will eventually lead to his destruction.
Recalling the experience of nearly losing a loved one due to greed, Ah Ming and Xiaofang couldn't help but feel a little afraid. They began to appreciate the life in front of them more and to be more grateful to those who had helped them. They understand that true happiness does not come from money and material things, but from inner satisfaction and love between people.
However, just as they gradually come out of the shadows and embrace life again, an unexpected person appears - the mysterious man in black. He reappeared in front of the door of Ah Ming's house, still wearing the same black robe and hat, and his face could not be seen clearly.
The man in black didn't say any more nonsense, and directly revealed his identity: "I am the divine envoy who guards the golden chicken bones." I have watched you for a long time and have seen that you have indeed changed. Everyone has greed, but there are not many people who can rein in the precipice and wake up in time. It is very rare that you are able to recognize the dangers of greed and act to help others. ”
After Ah Ming and Xiaofang heard this, they were both surprised and happy. They didn't expect that this man in black would be the divine envoy who guarded the golden chicken bones, and they didn't expect that they would be able to get his approval.
The oracle continued, "The power of the golden chicken bone is indeed powerful, but it is not something that everyone can control. Only those who are pure at heart, selfless and desireless can truly grasp its power. And you are such people. Therefore, I have decided to give you the power of the golden chicken bone again, but this time, you must use it more carefully. ”
After speaking, the divine envoy took out a golden talisman from his arms and handed it to Ah Ming: "This is the talisman of the golden chicken bone, it contains the power of the golden chicken bone. You can use it to help those who really need it, but remember, don't let it become a tool of your greed. ”
Ah Ming took the talisman and nodded solemnly. He understands that this is not only a strength, but also a responsibility. He and Xiaofang will use this power to help more people and make the world a better place.
However, the oracle's words did not end there. He glanced at Ah Ming and Xiao Fang deeply, and then said slowly: "Greed, like a weed, will breed again if you are not careful. Therefore, you must always be vigilant and do not allow yourself to fall into greed again. Only in this way can you truly grasp the power of the golden chicken bone and make it available to you. ”
The words of the divine envoy were like a wake-up call, ringing in the hearts of Ah Ming and Xiao Fang. They took a deep breath and nodded firmly. They know that they will use this power to create a better future.
With the departure of the oracle, Amin and Xiaofang's lives returned to peace. However, their hearts have changed dramatically. They are no longer confused by money and material things, but cherish the emotional connection between people even more. They used their actions to care for and help others, and became the most respected people in the village.
And the golden talisman was also carefully hidden by them. It has become the most valuable treasure in their hearts and the driving force for them to pursue a better life. They know that with love and faith in their hearts, they can overcome all difficulties and challenges. And the power of the golden chicken bone will always accompany them and become a solid backing on their way forward. With the departure of the divine envoy, a sense of unprecedented responsibility welled up in Ah Ming and Xiao Fang's hearts. They understand that they are no longer the ordinary and ordinary couple, but guardians who have been given a special mission. The golden talisman seemed to be a beacon in their hearts, guiding them to a brighter future.
Yet, as the oracle said, greed is as hard to eradicate as a weed. In the dead of night, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang can't help but recall the temptations of that windfall. They begin to realize that greed is not just an outward desire, but a deep inner struggle.
In the process, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang decide to seek inner peace and firmness. They began to read ancient texts to explore the roots of humanity and greed. Reading between the lines, they felt the wisdom and teachings of the ancient sages, and gradually understood a truth: only by letting go of greed can they truly have inner peace and contentment.
As a result, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang began to work harder, using their diligence and wisdom to create wealth, rather than relying on the power that the talisman brings. They know that only through their own efforts can they truly realize their own value and win the respect of others.
At the same time, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang did not forget the entrustment of the oracle. They often pay attention to the villagers and help them solve the difficulties and problems in their lives. They used their kindness and sincerity to warm the hearts of others, and also gained a lot of precious friendships and touches in the process.
However, just when Amin and Xiaofang thought their lives were on track, an unexpected piece of news shattered their peace. A young man in the village is in debt because he is addicted to gambling. He borrowed money everywhere and finally found Ah Ming and Xiao Fang for help.
Faced with the young man's request, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang fell into deep thought. They know that if they give him money to pay off their debts, it will only make him more addicted to gambling and unable to extricate himself. However, if he is not helped, he will find himself in an even more miserable situation.
At this critical moment, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang remembered the words of the oracle. They understood that they could not be slaves to greed, nor could they allow the talisman to become a tool for their selfish desires. So, they decided to help the young man in their own way.
Ah Ming and Xiao Fang found the young man and had an in-depth conversation with him. They told him about the dangers and consequences of gambling and encouraged him to pick himself up and use his own hands to create a better future. At the same time, they also contacted some village elders and villagers to work together to develop a repayment plan for the young man and help him find a stable job.
With the help of Ah Ming and Xiao Fang, the young man gradually came out of the shadow of gambling and began to face his life again. He also felt the warmth and beauty of human nature from the good deeds of Ah Ming and Xiaofang, and cherished the life in front of him even more.
This incident made Ah Ming and Xiaofang deeply realize that the power of golden chicken bones is not omnipotent. They understand that true strength comes from inner goodness and steadfastness, not material things and money outwardly. Only with this kind of power can we truly help others and change our destiny.
As time passed, the story of Ah Ming and Xiao Fang gradually spread in the village. Their good deeds and wisdom have infected more and more people, and more people have begun to reflect and examine their hearts. In the process, the whole village has changed dramatically. People began to pay more attention to integrity and friendliness, and they also began to cherish and care for the people around them more.
While Ah Ming and Xiao Fang continue their mission and responsibility. They use their actions to convey the power of positive energy and warmth, and they continue to grow and progress in the process. They know that as long as they have love, faith and a sense of responsibility in their hearts, they can overcome all difficulties and challenges. And the power of the golden chicken bone will always accompany them and become a solid backing on their way forward.
However, life is always full of unknowns and uncertainties. Ah Ming and Xiao Fang also understand that they can't protect this land and these people forever. They began to think about how to pass on their mission and responsibilities so that more people could benefit and grow.
So, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang decided to build a school in the village. They hope to cultivate more ethical, intelligent, and responsible talents to contribute to society through education. They used their savings and strength to raise funds and resources, and invited some experienced and talented teachers to teach at the school.
Thanks to the efforts of Ah Ming and Xiao Fang, the school was gradually established and attracted more and more students. Students learn knowledge, skills, and morals here, and gradually grow into useful people. They use what they have learned to serve the society and help others, and in the process, they realize their values and dreams.
The story of Ah Ming and Xiao Fang has become a legend and a model for the school. Their stories tell people a truth: only with inner kindness and firmness can we truly help others and change our fate. And the power of golden chicken bones will also shine forever in this inheritance and development. After the school was built, Ah Ming and Xiaofang's lives became more fulfilling and meaningful. They often go to school to communicate with the children and share their experiences and insights. Whenever they saw the innocent smiling faces of the children and heard their loud reading, Ah Ming and Xiaofang's hearts would spring up with a warm current, which was a sense of satisfaction they had never had.
However, life is always full of challenges. One day, a group of strangers came to the village, claiming to be representatives of a large company, and wanted to start a special course in the school to teach children some so-called "practical skills". Ah Ming and Xiao Fang are skeptical, fearing that the curriculum will deviate from the essence of education and lead the children down the wrong path.
"We don't need you to teach our children how to pursue material things and money," Amin said categorically, "We want them to understand that true happiness does not come from material pursuits, but from inner peace and contentment." ”
These words left the strangers speechless, and they eventually walked away. Ah Ming and Xiao Fang understand that greed and materialism can never be satisfied, and they don't want their children to be confused by these and lose their true pursuit of life.
After experiencing this incident, Ah Ming and Xiaofang were even more determined in their educational philosophy. They began to organize more educational activities, inviting village elders and villagers to share their life experiences and wisdom. These activities not only enrich the children's learning life, but also deepen the connection and friendship between the villagers.
At the same time, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang have not forgotten their mission and responsibility. They often pay attention to the changes and development of the village, and use their own strength to promote and promote the progress of the village. They encouraged the villagers to develop sustainable agriculture and tourism to improve the village's economic income and living standards. Thanks to their efforts, the village became more and more prosperous and beautiful.
However, greed and temptation have always accompanied human life. As the village grew, some people began to pursue higher material comforts and benefits. They cut down forests, exploit resources, and even engage in conflicts and feuds over interests. Seeing all this, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang's hearts were full of worry and helplessness.
They know that greed is the root of all evil, and it can make people forget their original intentions and lose their way. So, they decided to stand up again and use their words and deeds to influence and change the atmosphere of the village.
Ah Ming and Xiao Fang began to tour the village, sharing their experiences and insights and sharing their deep understanding of greed. Their words were deeply rooted in the hearts of the villagers, and the villagers began to reflect on their own actions. At the same time, they also organized a series of activities, such as environmental protection publicity, public welfare tree planting, etc., to guide the villagers to pay attention to environmental protection and sustainable development.
Thanks to the efforts of Ah Ming and Xiao Fang, the atmosphere in the village gradually improved. People began to cherish resources, protect the environment, and contribute to the future development of the village. And Ah Ming and Xiao Fang also gained more respect and respect in the process.
As the years passed, Ah Ming and Xiaofang gradually grew old. However, their spirit and influence are enduring. Their stories have been passed down from generation to generation and have become immortal legends in the village. And the village, which was once shrouded in greed, has also been revitalized with new vitality and vitality thanks to their efforts.
In the last moments of his life, Ah Ming and Xiaofang snuggled up to each other in their yard. They looked at the blue sky and white clouds, recalling the bits and pieces of the past. They know that their lives, though ordinary, are full of meaning and value. They used their power to influence and transform the entire village, leaving a better home for future generations.
"We have not had any spectacular feats in our lives," Amin said, "but we have protected this land and its people in our own way." I guess that's where our value lies. ”
Xiao Fang gently shook Ah Ming's hand, smiled and nodded: "Yes, we have been fighting against greed all our lives, and I hope our story can alert future generations and make them understand that true happiness does not come from material pursuits, but inner peace and satisfaction." ”
As the afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire courtyard, Ah Ming and Xiao Fang quietly closed their eyes. Their legends will live forever on this land, inspiring generations to pursue true happiness and worth. And that golden talisman will also shine forever as a symbol of their spirit.
