Widow's nightmare
In a distant mountain village, there was a widow named Xiulian. She was young and beautiful, but her fate was ill, and her husband died of illness at an early age, leaving her alone to guard the dilapidated hut. Xiulian is hardworking and kind, but since her husband died, she has had a strange dream every night, in which she is chased by a vicious dog, tearing at the corners of her clothes and ankles, and she can't get rid of the dog's entanglement despite all her might.
At first, Xiulian thought it was just an ordinary nightmare, but as time went on, she found that the dream became more and more real, and every time she woke up, she felt sore, as if she had really been bitten by a dog. She began to become emaciated and in a trance, and the people of the village noticed her abnormality.
One day, a well-traveled veteran came to the village. He has a childish face, holds a whisk in his hand, and wears a Taoist robe fluttering like a fairy. Villagers gathered around to ask for advice on various incurable diseases. Xiulian also came to Lao Dao with the mentality of giving it a try.
"Dao Chief, I have a dream every night that I was chased and bitten by a vicious dog, and I woke up with soreness, I don't know why?" Xiulian's voice trembled, and her eyes were full of fear.
After listening to Xiulian's description, Lao Dao frowned, as if he was in deep thought. He looked up at Xiulian, and suddenly sneered: "The good things you did in your last life, you will naturally have to repay them in this life." ”
Xiulian's face turned pale with fright from Lao Dao's words, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Dao Chief, ...... What do you mean by that? What exactly did I do in my last life? ”
Lao Dao sighed and said slowly: "In the last life, you were a dog, and you were loved by your master because of your loyalty to the master. However, your master is a greedy and ruthless man. He will sacrifice your life to satisfy his own desires. You were mortally wounded trying to save him, and you died tragically. After you died, you were so angry that you turned into a ghost and came to ask for your life. But your master has been reincarnated as a human being, and his life is not yet complete, so you can only possess those who are related to him. And in this life, you are possessed by this widow. ”
After listening to Lao Dao's narration, Xiulian had mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't expect that she was a dog in her previous life, and she didn't expect that she would be so tortured because of the grievances in her previous life. She looked at Lao Dao with teary eyes: "Dao Chief, what should I do?" Am I going to be haunted by this vicious dog for the rest of my life? ”
Lao Dao shook his head: "No, no, no." Although you were a dog in your last life, you are already human in this life. The feud between you and the vicious dog should be over. But to get rid of it, you must find its master, the master of your previous life, the reincarnated person of this life. ”
"That'...... So how do I find him? Xiulian asked eagerly.
Lao Dao took out a charm from his bosom: "This is my special charm, you only need to wear it on your body, you can sense the breath of that vicious dog." Then, you can follow the breath to find its owner. ”
Xiulian took the spell, her heart full of gratitude. She bowed deeply to Lao Dao: "Thank you Dao Chief for your guidance!" I'm sure I'll find the owner of that vicious dog and settle our grievances!" ”
Lao Dao nodded and turned to leave. Xiulian suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped him: "Dao Chief! I have one more thing to ask for! ”
Lao Dao stopped: "What's the matter?" ”
Xiulian bit her lip: "I...... I wonder what kind of person the owner of that vicious dog became after he was reincarnated? Is he suffering as much as I am? ”
Lao Dao sighed: "The owner of that vicious dog was reincarnated and turned into a greedy and ruthless businessman. Although he was rich in this life, his heart was full of emptiness and pain. Every night he dreams of the misery of your last life, haunted by your unjust spirit. His life is not much easier than yours. ”
Xiulian was speechless after hearing this. She didn't expect the owner of the vicious dog to suffer the same thing. An inexplicable sense of sympathy and emotion welled up in her heart. Perhaps, all this is fate. She could only do her best to find the owner of the vicious dog and settle their grievances.
In this way, Xiulian embarked on a journey to find the owner of the vicious dog with a charm. After a lot of hardship, she finally found the merchant in a bustling town. The merchant's name is Li Fugui, and he is a well-known wealthy businessman in the local area. He was richly dressed and haughty, but his eyes showed an indescribable exhaustion and pain.
Xiulian looked at Li Fugui in front of her, and her heart was mixed. She didn't expect to meet him here, the master who had killed her in her previous life. She took a deep breath and stepped forward: "Master Li, I'm Xiulian." I have something to tell you. ”
Li Fugui raised his head and looked at Xiulian suspiciously: "Who are you?" What's the matter with me? ”
Xiulian didn't answer his question directly, but took out the charm from her bosom: "Master Li, you dream of a dog every night, right?" That dog was the embodiment of my last life. Our feud has been entangled for two lifetimes. Now I have come to you to settle this grudge. ”
Li Fugui's face changed greatly after hearing this: "You...... What did you say? How can I dream of a dog? This...... How is this possible! ”
Xiulian looked at him calmly, with a little compassion in her voice: "Master Li, maybe you don't believe it, but this is the truth." In the last life, you did not hesitate to sacrifice my life in order to satisfy your selfish desires. After I died, I was so angry that I turned into a ghost and came to ask for my life. However, because your life is not over, I cannot take revenge on you directly, and I can only possess those who are related to you. In this life, I possessed Xiulian's body, and I was entangled by that vicious dog every night, and I was in pain. ”
Li Fugui's eyes widened, his eyes full of shock and incomprehension. He stammered, "This ...... How is this possible? I...... How could I do such a thing? ”
Xiulian looked at him, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes: "Master Li, maybe you have forgotten the events of your previous life, but karma is endless." The suffering of your life is the retribution for what you did in your previous life. ”
Li Fugui was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then slowly spoke: "Miss Xiulian, I admit that I may have done something sorry for you in my last life. But in this life, I am already a completely new person, and I cannot take responsibility for the things of the previous life. I only hope that you will spare me so that I can live a safe life in this life. ”
Xiulian sighed after hearing this: "Master Li, I am not here to take revenge on you. I've come to you in the hope that we can settle this feud. Only then will I be able to get rid of that vicious dog's entanglement, and you will be able to get rid of the nightmares of every night. ”
A glimmer of hope flashed in Li Fugui's eyes: "That...... So what should we do? ”
Xiulian pondered for a moment, then said, "First of all, you need to sincerely apologize to me and admit your mistakes in your previous life. Then, you need to do some good deeds to atone for the sins of your previous life. Only in this way can the grievances between us be truly settled. ”
After hearing this, Li Fugui nodded: "Okay!" I promise you! I will apologize to you and do what I can to do good! ”
So, under the witness of Xiulian, Li Fugui sincerely apologized to her and promised to do more good deeds in the future. He began to sponsor poor students in the village to go to school, built a temple for the villagers to pray for, and personally went to the temple to pray for Xiulian's husband. His actions gradually gained the recognition and respect of the villagers, and his heart gradually became calm and peaceful.
However, just when Li Fugui thought that he had gotten rid of the entanglement of the nightmare, the vicious dog appeared again. It still appears in Xiulian's dreams every night, biting at the corners of her clothes and ankles. Xiulian began to feel confused and desperate, she didn't understand why Li Fugui had made a change, but the vicious dog still refused to let her go.
She found the old way again and told him about her confusion. After hearing this, Lao Dao pondered for a moment, and then said, "Miss Xiulian, you may have forgotten the most important point—that vicious dog did not just haunt you because of your grievances in your previous life. It also becomes more ferocious because of your fear and resentment. You need to let go of the fear and resentment in your heart and touch it with love and tolerance. ”
Xiulian was speechless after hearing this. She recalled the fear and despair of being pestered by vicious dogs every night, and an inexplicable power welled up in her heart. She decided to let go of the resentment and fear in her heart and use love and tolerance to influence the vicious dog.
So, whenever the vicious dog appeared in her dreams, she no longer feared and ran away, but soothed it with gentle words and caring eyes. She told it that she had forgiven its master's mistakes in the previous life, and hoped that it would let go of its hatred and resentment. She touched it with her love and tolerance, hoping that it would find a better home.
Gradually, the vicious dog became more and more docile and quiet in Xiulian's dream. It no longer tore at the corners of her clothes and ankles, but lay quietly beside her, looking at her with those gentle eyes. Xiulian felt a sense of peace and happiness that she had never felt before, and she knew that she had succeeded in touching the vicious dog.
However, just when she thought it was all over, the vicious dog suddenly disappeared. She never saw it in her dreams again, nor did she feel the pain of being bitten again. She felt a little lost and melancholy, but at the same time she felt a sense of relief and relief.
She knew that the vicious dog had found a better home, and she had finally escaped the entanglement of this feud. She looked gratefully at the talisman in her hand and the words that Lao Dao had left for her, and her heart was full of gratitude and respect. She understands that the reason why she was able to successfully influence the vicious dog and get rid of this grudge is precisely because she let go of the fear and resentment in her heart and chose love and tolerance.
Since then, Xiulian's life has returned to peace and tranquility. She still lives a hard-working and kind life and continues to help those in need in her own way. And the story of the vicious dog has gradually become a legend in the village, and has become a conversation and warning for people after dinner.
And Li Fugui also gradually became kind and benevolent under Xiulian's influence. He continued to sponsor the poor students in the village to build a temple, and personally went to the temple to pray for Xiulian's husband. His actions were respected and recognized by the villagers, and he gradually became a role model and role model for the village.
However, this feud is not completely over. Xiulian and Li Fugui both know that they are just the tip of the iceberg of this grievance, but the real root is hidden deep in the corners that they can't reach. But they also understand that only by letting go of the fear and resentment in their hearts and facing the world with love and tolerance can they truly get rid of the entanglement of this grievance and gain inner peace.
As the years go by, the seasons change, and life in the village remains plain and quiet. Xiulian continued to work in the fields, and her figure became a beautiful sight in the village. And Li Fugui gradually freed himself from the utilitarian heart of a businessman and devoted himself more to charity, and his transformation won the sincere respect of the villagers.
However, on a sunny afternoon, an uninvited guest came to the village. He claimed to be a traveler from afar, heard the story of Xiulian and Li Fugui, and came to visit. This traveler was dressed in green clothes, holding a long ink-colored fan, and his eyebrows revealed an extraordinary temperament.
You stayed in the village for a few days, interacting with the villagers and listening to their stories about Xiulian and Li Fugui. He nodded frequently, a deep glint in his eyes. One day, he found Xiulian and had a long talk with her.
"Miss Xiulian, I've heard your story." The wanderer spoke slowly, and there was a warm power in his voice, "You can let go of your resentment and touch that vicious dog with love, this mind and courage are really admirable." ”
Xiulian smiled slightly, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes: "Actually, I have also resented, but resentment does not solve the problem. Choosing love and forgiveness is not only to liberate oneself, but also to give some inspiration to those who are still struggling with resentment. ”
Hearing this, the wanderer bowed his head slightly: "Miss Xiulian, your wisdom and kindness will affect more people. But have you ever wondered why that vicious dog is haunting you? There may be a deeper reason behind this. ”
Xiulian was stunned, she had never thought too much about this issue. The wanderer's words piqued her curiosity: "I would like to hear about it." ”
The wanderer pondered for a moment and began to tell an ancient story. Once upon a time, in this land, there was a mysterious ethnic group who believed in an ancient power and were able to communicate with animals. Within this group, there is a young girl who has a special ability to form a deep bond with animals. However, this ability also attracts the envy and hunting of foreign races. In order to protect herself, the girl fuses her soul with a loyal dog as a way to escape the hunt.
"That vicious dog is actually the incarnation of this girl." "She's always looking for someone who can understand her and accept her. And Miss Xiulian, your appearance has made her see hope. You touched her with your love and forgiveness, and you set her free. ”
Xiulian was silent for a long time after hearing this. She didn't expect that there would be such a twisted story behind that vicious dog. An inexplicable feeling of emotion and respect surged in her heart: "That girl, where is she now?" ”
You Shi shook his head slightly: "She's no longer there." However, her soul was liberated and found a home. Miss Xiulian, you have done an amazing thing. ”
Xiulian lowered her head, tears glistening in her eyes. She was glad that she was able to help the girl, and she also felt sorry for the twists and turns of the story. She knew that there were many souls in need in this world, and she was willing to do what she could to help them.
The wanderer lingered in the village for a few days before leaving. He left Xiulian an old book in which many stories about animals and people were recorded. Xiulian treasured this book and read it often, drawing wisdom and strength from it.
As time passed, Xiulian's story spread far and wide. Many people came to her for advice on how to let go of resentment and face life's adversities with love and tolerance. Xiulian always listens patiently to their stories and gives them encouragement and advice. Her kindness and wisdom have won the admiration and love of the people.
And Li Fugui also gradually changed his lifestyle under the influence of Xiulian. He began to focus on environmental protection and animal welfare, investing in an animal sanctuary to provide a warm home for those who are homeless. His good deeds have been recognized and supported by all sectors of society.
Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. Xiulian is over the age of six, but she still maintains that kind and tolerant heart. Her story has been told from generation to generation and has become an eternal legend. And the story of the vicious dog has gradually faded out of people's sight with the passage of time, but the spirit of love and tolerance it represents will always remain in people's hearts.
In this quiet little village, Xiulian spent her ordinary and extraordinary life. She touched the vicious dog with her love and tolerance, and also touched the hearts of countless people. Her story tells us that no matter what kind of difficulties and resentments we face, as long as we choose to face them with love and tolerance, we will be able to find inner peace and social harmony. In Xiulian's later years, she still likes to sit under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, watch the sunrise and sunset, listen to the laughter of the children, and recall the bits and pieces of the past. She always had a kind smile on her face, as if the years had never left a mark on her face.
The people in the village know that Grandma Xiulian is a wise and caring person. Her home is always crowded with young people who come to ask for advice, and she always listens patiently, using her unique insights and experiences to guide them.
One day, a young painter came to the village, and he was so fascinated by the story of Grandma Xiulian that he decided to paint a portrait of her. The painter stayed at Grandma Xiulian's house, and carefully observed her demeanor and demeanor every day, hoping to perfectly present her spiritual outlook.
In the process of creation, the painter could not help but be attracted by the deep eyes and firm temperament of Grandma Xiulian. He asked Grandma Xiulian many stories about her youth and how she faced the difficulties and challenges in life. Grandma Xiulian always replied with a smile, her tone full of nostalgia for the past and hope for the future.
After several days of hard work, the painter's work was finally completed. It is a vivid portrait of Grandma Xiulian's bright eyes and serene expression, as if she is telling her story to the audience. The painter dedicated the painting to Grandma Xiulian and told her that it was his most satisfying work to date.
Grandma Xiulian looked at the painting with tears in her eyes. She said with emotion: "Son, you are so good at drawing. This painting not only allowed me to see what I looked like when I was young, but also made me feel the passage of time and the beauty of life. Thank you. ”
The painter was deeply moved by Grandma Xiulian's words, and he said, "Grandma, it was you who gave me the inspiration and motivation to create. Your story and spirit have made me deeply understand the true meaning of life. I will spread your story so that more people can understand you and learn from you. ”
With the painter's departure, the story of Grandma Xiulian also spread outside the village. Many people were touched by her story and came to visit her, hoping to draw wisdom and strength from her. Grandma Xiulian always received them warmly, using her experience and insights to answer their questions and point them in the direction.
In Grandma Xiulian's later life, she not only became the spiritual leader of the village, but also became a role model in the hearts of many people. Her kindness and tolerance infect everyone around her and fill this small village with love and warmth.
However, the years are merciless, and Grandma Xiulian's body gradually weakens. In the last moments of her life, she still maintained that optimism and strength. She told the people around her: "Life is like a journey, with ups and downs, joys and sorrows. But as long as we maintain a kind and tolerant heart to face all the difficulties and challenges in life, we will be able to find inner peace and social harmony. ”
After Grandma Xiulian died, the people of the village held a grand funeral for her. Her portrait is hung under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, which has become a scenery in the village. Whenever people pass by here, they will stop to look at this painting and deeply miss the kind smile and deep eyes of Grandma Xiulian.
Under the influence of Grandma Xiulian, this small village gradually became more harmonious and beautiful. People have learned to face all the difficulties and challenges in life with love and tolerance, and they have also learned to cherish everyone and every emotion around them. Grandma Xiulian's story and spirit have become a treasure for this small village, passed down from generation to generation.
Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye. The small village has changed dramatically. New buildings are erected, new roads are being built, and new industries are booming. However, no matter how the times change and how society progresses, the story and spirit of Grandma Xiulian will always be the soul and heart of this small village.
Whenever people mention Grandma Xiulian, they will show deep respect and nostalgia. Her story has become a source of strength that inspires people to move forward; Her spirit has become a beacon to lead people to a better future. In this era full of changes and challenges, Grandma Xiulian's story and spirit still shine brightly.
In the story of Grandma Xiulian, we see the strength and courage of an ordinary woman in the face of difficulties; I also saw the wisdom and tolerance shown by a wise man in the face of life. Her story tells us that no matter when and where we are, and what difficulties and challenges we face, as long as we maintain a kind and tolerant heart to face all the difficulties and challenges in life, we can find inner peace and social harmony. At the same time, her story also makes us understand a truth: only by truly understanding and cherishing the people and things around us can we have a happy and beautiful life.
