There is a Xiucai named Wu Yu in Xuzhou, his family is poor, his parents have passed away, he lives in a dilapidated thatched hut, and reads poetry and books every day until late at night. In addition to studying, he went to the bazaar to help people write letters, earn a little money for a living, and lived a very hard life.
There is a small temple on the hillside behind his house, which has broken off the incense, and he always goes there to kowtow and pray, hoping that the gods will bless him, so that he can gain fame and glory to his ancestors, and his future is bright.
But after a few years, he always fell behind, very lost and melancholy.
One day, he went to the temple again, muttering that it was unfair, he worked hard to read poetry and books until late at night, but he failed repeatedly, and one of his classmates, although he was a wine bag and rice bag, but his family was rich, he did not worry about eating and drinking, and there were people waiting. shouted that the fairy was also eccentric, and accepted his incense in vain.
After that, he went out, and halfway through, the wine came up, and he fell asleep on the ground.
When he woke up, he was surprised to find that he was in a luxurious room, and a handsome young man in white was sitting next to him.
When the boy saw that he was awake, he smiled and said, "You were drunk and lying on the road last night, and you were almost eaten by a wolf, but fortunately I happened to pass by and save your ......." ”
Wu Yu was shocked when he heard this, and quickly got up to thank him. The boy brought him a bowl of hot, fragrant soup.
He drank it, and suddenly felt much more comfortable, energetic, and secretly surprised.
Seeing that it was a wild place outside, and there was only one family around, he was very surprised, and asked his name, why did he live in the wild?
The young man smiled and said, "My name is Bai Er, I am withdrawn, and I don't like to come into contact with people."
After that, no more words, bring some food.
Wu Yu didn't know what the food was, he just felt that it was very fragrant, he had never seen it, let alone eaten these delicacies. I think the boy is different, and I respect him very much.
The two talked happily and had the feeling of seeing each other late. After that, he often came and went, and the boy would always bring him a pheasant, or a hare or other meat.
Wu Yu hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and he was very happy.
After a long time, he found that the boy could predict the future, and begged him to show himself, what is the future?
The young man's face was solemn, and he sighed and told him that he was destined to have no chance of fame, and persuaded him that it was better to do something while he was young, so as not to miss his years and achieve nothing when he was old.
When Wu Yu heard this, he was very depressed and disheartened, stopped studying, and lived in a daz.
One day, he went to the market to buy some daily necessities, and saw a fortune teller with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks at the bridge, and remembered Bai Er's words, so he went to the front to tell the fortune.
The fortune teller saw that he was dressed up, and after listening to the eight characters of his birthday, he smiled and congratulated him.
Wu Yu was stunned for a moment and asked him where his joy came from?
The fortune teller told him that he was destined to be an official, a man who rode a horse and sat in a sedan chair, and a master. After he becomes an official, don't forget yourself.
Wu Yu's heart was full of joy when he heard this, he was very excited, and he was happy for a while, and gave all the money to buy things to the fortune teller.
When he returned home, after Bai Er found out, he shouted that he had been fooled, and he would not lie to him, and still persuaded him bitterly to find a job while he was young, so as not to miss his years and regret it when he was old.
But at this time, Wu Yu, thinking that he was an official, instantly became tall and proud, and no longer took his words to heart, and the two parted unhappily.
Bai Er no longer comes, and he doesn't help him anymore, after a long time, he has returned to normal, often eats the last meal, but no next meal, and hates Bai Er very much.
One day, he went to the fortune teller at the head of the bridge and told him what had happened, thinking that Bai Er was very strange.
When the fortune teller heard this, he was shocked, thought about it, and had an idea.
A few days later, the fortune teller found a snake detaineer, under the leadership of Wu Yu, came to that place, the snake detainer recited a spell at the door, not big, the wind roared, the young man Bai Er appeared in front of him, saw the snake detainees, was shocked, wanted to escape, it was too late, turned into a huge white snake, looking terrifying.
Wu Yu was stunned.
The fortune teller and the snake detainer sold the white snake to a local king who was fond of eating snakes, and sold it for a lot of money.
Wang Yuan's foreign chef made a delicacy of snake meat and gave Wu Yu a bowl.
At night, when Wu Yu was sleeping, the young man Bai Er stood in front of him, glared at him angrily, pointed at him and said angrily: "You ungrateful, despicable and shameless villain!" I saw that you were pitiful, Fang Dou dared to come out to help you, but I didn't expect to hurt myself...... A man like you is not worthy of a man, so what is the use of being in ...... world? ”
With that, he rushed over......
Wu Yu shuddered and woke up, it turned out to be a nightmare, and his face was covered with sweat.
After that, he was in a trance, a little crazy, and often ran to the street and talked nonsense, saying that he was a big official.
It is often followed by a group of people watching the excitement.
One day, he went mad into the wilderness, fell into the river, and drowned.
The official sent to salvage for three days, but the body was not recovered, so it had to be stopped.
