Our Jiangnan water town, Yangliu Village, the scenery is as beautiful as a painting, and the people are also spiritual. But the house in the east of our village, ouch, that's really troublesome, I heard that there are ghosts in it, and it has become a murderous house in our village. When the people in the village mentioned it, their faces were more bitter than eating bitter gourd, and they hid faster than rabbits. But on this day, a carpenter from a foreign country came to our village, named Li Erniu. This guy has good craftsmanship and is also bold, and it didn't take long for him to get along in our village. But he has a quirk, he likes to buy things that others look down on, such as the murderous house.
That day, Li Erniu heard in the teahouse that the murderous mansion was haunted again, and as soon as his heart moved, he found the owner of the mansion and said that he wanted to buy it. When the master heard this, he was as happy as if he had picked up gold, after all, the house had been empty for several years, and it was a great thing that it could be sold. As a result, Li Erniu spent a few small sums to buy the murderous house. As soon as this matter spread, people in the village talked about it, and they all said that Li Erniu was so fat that he even dared to buy the murderous house. Li Erniu listened, smiled, and said: "We Li Erniu don't have much else, it's just bold, if that ghost dares to come, I have to let it see how powerful we are!" ”
On the day of the move, Li Erniu called a few buddies to help, and also brought a big black dog. The dog was majestic, with a smooth black coat and eyes as bright as light bulbs. The people in the village were puzzled when they saw it, and asked Li Erniu what he meant. Li Erniu said with a smile: "This big black dog, I specially found it, it is not ordinary, it can ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts." With it, I don't think that ghost dares to make trouble! When everyone heard it, they all thought that Li Erniu's trick was high, and they all gave him a thumbs up.
In this way, Li Erniu took the big black dog and a few buddies and moved into the new house in a hurry. At night, it was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the house was quiet. Li Erniu was sitting in the hall, lighting an oil lamp, holding a carving knife in his hand, and was carving a vivid puppet. While carving, he hummed a little tune, leisurely. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, the oil lamp flickered, and a dark shadow appeared in the hall. The black shadow floated around, disappearing and disappearing, and let out bursts of eerie laughter. As soon as Li Erniu looked up, he saw a female ghost with a disheveled hair and a pale face standing in front of him. He was startled, but immediately steadied himself. Put down the carving knife, stood up, and yelled at the female ghost: "You, dare to come to my Li Erniu's house to make trouble!" See if I don't clean you up! After saying that, Li Erniu rushed up and fought with the female ghost. The female ghost is very powerful, but Li Erniu is not a vegetarian, he is quick with his hands and feet, and he is very good at fists and feet, and for a while, the two are inseparable. This was really disturbing, and the big black dog suddenly rushed up and bit the female ghost's arm with one mouth. The female ghost screamed in pain, and her figure flickered and became like a fog. Li Erniu saw the opportunity and smashed the female ghost in the chest with a punch, causing her to fly away. The female ghost fell to the ground, and it was terrible. Li Erniu was not ambiguous, stepped forward and grabbed the female ghost's hair and dragged her to the yard. He shouted, "You, why are you doing a demon here? Don't say it yet! "The female ghost was so controlled by Li Erniu that she didn't dare to move again. Her voice trembled and she said, "I... I am the daughter-in-law of the former owner of this house, and I am so sad that my husband is sick and dead, and I have become a terrible ghost, and I am wandering around here. I... I don't have bad intentions, I just want to find something lost..."Li Erniu softened when he heard this. He sighed and said, "Since you have become a powerful ghost, you should let go of your obsession and report to the underworld." Today I will help you to go over and let you rest in peace. After speaking, Li Erniu closed his eyes and began to read the scriptures. The female ghost listened and slowly calmed down. She glanced at Li Erniu gratefully, and then turned into a puff of green smoke and dissipated into the night sky. At this moment, a golden light fell from the sky and shone on Li Erniu. A Taoist priest walked out of Jin Guangli, and he praised Li Erniu with a smile: "Master Li Shi is really clever!" Use a black dog to exorcise evil spirits, and use compassion to overtake ghosts, killing two birds with one stone! When Li Erniu saw that it was a Taoist priest, he hurriedly saluted: "The Taoist chief has won the award, and I just know a little bit about fur." The Taoist priest waved his hand: "Master Li Shi, don't be modest. Not only did you save the female ghost today, but you also accumulated merit for yourself. I think you're going to have a great deal! When Li Erniu heard this, his heart was full of joy, and he hurriedly thanked him. The Taoist priest gave a few more instructions, and then turned into golden light and disappeared. Since the Taoist priest appeared that night, Li Erniu's reputation in Yangliu Village has become even louder. Everyone knows that he is not only a carpenter with good craftsmanship, but also a man of courage and knowledge, and a good heart. The murderous mansion also slowly regained its calm because Li Erniu lived in it. As the days passed, Li Erniu lived a very nourishing life in the house, and the big black dog also became his good partner. Every evening, Li Erniu would take the big black dog to wander around the village, chatting and laughing with the villagers. The big black dog is powerful and has a good personality, and the people in the village like it very much. One day, Li Erniu was carving puppets in the yard when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door in a hurry. He put down the carving knife, walked over to open the door, and a villager hurriedly stood outside the door: "Li Erniu, hurry, come with me to have a look!" The villager gasped. Oops, that's not a small matter! Li Erniu shouted as he followed the villager and hurried out of the village. What's going on? It turned out that by the small river outside the village, a headless corpse was found. This incident frightened the villagers a lot, and everyone speculated whether it was the female ghost in the murderous house who came out to make trouble again. So, everyone thought of Li Erniu, hoping that he could come out and help see what was going on.
As soon as Li Erniu arrived at the river, he saw the headless corpse at a glance. He crouched down, looked at it carefully, then shook his head, and said, "The wound on this corpse is quite neat, it looks like someone has cut off the head with a sharp guy." It has nothing to do with the female ghost. When the villagers heard this, the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground, but then they asked, "Then whose corpse does it belong to?" Why are you in this place? Li Erniu stood up and said, "I know this corpse, and it is a member of the family of the king in the town. It seems that we have to ask Wang Yuanwai carefully. ”
So, Li Erniu led a group of villagers to Wang Yuanwai's house. When Wang Yuanwai saw Li Erniu and them, his face immediately changed, and he spoke hesitantly. But under Li Erniu's repeated questioning, he finally confided the truth. It turned out that Wang Yuanwai's family had lost a treasure Jade Buddha, and he suspected that the family had done it, so he privately sent someone to arrest the family. In order to force out the whereabouts of the Jade Buddha, he had the head of the family cut off. I thought that this would scare something, but who thought that the family was hard-headed, and finally committed suicide.
After hearing this, Li Erniu was furious, and reprimanded loudly: "Wang Yuanwai, Wang Yuanwai!" For the sake of a Jade Buddha, you actually did such a thing that lost your conscience! It's intolerable! Wang Yuanwai was scolded bloody, but he also knew that he was at a loss and didn't dare to fight back. In the end, in the presence of the villagers, he promised to compensate the family and apologize publicly.
As soon as this incident passed, Li Erniu's prestige in the village reached a higher level. Everyone said that he was a good person with a sense of justice, not only living happily for himself, but also upholding justice for the villagers. Because of him, the murderous mansion completely got rid of the murderous name and became a place full of peace and tranquility.
One night, Li Erniu was carving a new puppet in the house when he suddenly heard a rapid dog barking outside. He hurriedly put down the carving knife in his hand and walked out. I saw the big black dog barking at a corner of the yard. Li Erniu's heart tightened, and he thought, "Could it be that there is something unclean again?" He walked quickly to the big black dog, and looked in the direction of its barking, and saw a ragged figure crouching in the corner, shivering. Who are you? Why are you here? Li Erniu asked loudly. The figure looked up, showed a terrified face, and said, "I...... I'm a passer-by...... Want to spend the night here...... I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing......" When Li Erniu heard it, it turned out to be a passerby, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He strode up to the man, helped him up, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, we don't have a ghost in this Gada, you can stay in peace for one night, and leave tomorrow morning." When the man heard this, he burst into tears and thanked him repeatedly. That night, he settled down at Li Erniu's house. As soon as it was dawn the next day, he said goodbye to Yangliu Village and continued his journey.
This matter has been spread ten, ten has been spread to hundreds, and Li Erniu's reputation is well-known in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone knows that he is not only good at workmanship, but also has a warm heart and a strong sense of justice. The big black dog has also become his good helper, which can not only ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts, but also take care of the home and the hospital, which is really the best of both worlds!
Li Erniu's days in Yangliu Village have become more and more nourishing. His carpenter's skills became more and more goblins, and people from other villages came to him to work. The big black dog has become the darling of the village, and adults and children like to revolve around it.
One day, Li Erniu was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, holding a cigarette pouch in his hand, leisurely swallowing clouds and spitting out fog. Suddenly, a fresh face walked into the courtyard, carrying a burden in his hand, looking dusty. "Dude, what are you doing here?" Li Erniu asked curiously. The man smiled and said, "My name is Liu San, and I am a merchant who travels from south to north. I heard that your house used to be quite evil, but you are obedient, so I want to come and see it. When Li Erniu heard this, he laughed: "Oh, Brother Liu, don't listen to their nonsense, there is nothing evil in my house, they are all scary." Liu San nodded, looked around, and exclaimed: "Look at this house, it's really magnificent." Dude, you're a blessed man. Li Erniu waved his hand modestly: "What a blessed man, he is a carpenter, and he eats with a mouth." ”
The two chatted speculatively, and Liu San decided to stay at Li Erniu's house for one night and leave the next day. Li Erniu was naturally warmly entertained, and the two of them chatted happily in the evening. Late at night, Li Erniu sent Liu San to the guest room to rest. As soon as I arrived at the door, a sudden gust of wind blew, and the lanterns in the courtyard swayed and made a "squeak" sound. Liu San shuddered involuntarily and looked at Li Erniu nervously. Li Erniu smiled and patted Liu San on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, this wind is strong, and the lantern is like this." You rest early, you have to hurry tomorrow morning. Liu San nodded and entered the guest room. Li Erniu returned to his room, lay on the bed, and prepared to rest. Just then, he heard a slight noise, which seemed to be coming from the guest room. Li Erniu sighed in his heart, is there really something unclean in this house? He crept up from the kang, picked up a stick, and quietly moved to the guest room. When he arrived at the door, he gently pushed open the door, and at a glance, Liu San was sitting on the ground, with a panic on his face, and his eyes were staring straight out of the window. Li Erniu followed his gaze and saw that there was nothing black and rumbling outside. "Third Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?" Li Erniu asked. Liu San stammered back: "I... I just saw a figure outside the window, and it disappeared with a whoosh. Isn't it... Isn't that a female ghost? When Li Erniu heard this, he knew it in his heart. He walked to the window, looked at it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Brother Liu, you must have looked away." This window is tightly closed, where is the figure? Liu San was still skeptical, but seeing Li Erniu's ease, he didn't pursue it further. Li Erniu comforted him a few more words and told him to rest early.
Early the next morning, Liu San said goodbye to Li Erniu and continued his journey. Li Erniu stood in the courtyard and watched him go away. Suddenly, Liu San glanced back, and the expression on his face was very complicated. Li Erniu's heart moved, could it be that Liu Sanzhen saw something? He shook his head, feeling like he was overthinking. After all, this house has been quiet for so many years, where did the unclean things come from? As the days passed, Li Erniu's life was still so peaceful and happy. He continued his carpentry work, making all kinds of delicate wood carvings for the people. The big black dog was still so loyal, guarding him and his house.
Until one day, a Taoist priest suddenly came to Yangliu Village. He found Li Erniu and said with a serious face: "Master Li, do you know why this house had a bad reputation before?" Li Erniu was stunned and shook his head. The Taoist priest sighed and said, "The previous owner of this house was a bully, and after his death, he became a powerful ghost and made trouble here. But because after you bought this house, you did good deeds and accumulated virtues, and you were compassionate, so the evil ghost did not continue to do evil. Li Erniu suddenly became enlightened after hearing this, it turned out that there had indeed been unclean things in this house before. But he is not afraid, because he believes that he can use goodness and justice to dissolve all evil. The Taoist priest said, "I see that your face is extraordinary, and you will surely have great achievements in the future." But remember to be kind and righteous so that you can go further. Li Erniu nodded gratefully and sent the Taoist priest away. Since then, he has worked harder and been more active in doing good, hoping to bring more beauty and warmth to this world. The people of Yangliu Village also knew this story, and they admired and respected Li Erniu even more, and regarded him as a hero and model in the village. The murderous mansion has also completely shed its murderous reputation and has become a place full of sunshine and hope. Li Erniu, this kid, in our Yangliu Village, lives a comfortable and beautiful life. His little thing, the people in the village spread ten, ten to hundred, and it seemed like something, and it became a good story for us here, and it was very legendary.
