In that water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the smoke and rain are as hazy as a painting, and there is a little-known anecdote.
In the east of our village, there is an old man surnamed Li, everyone calls him Li Dashanren, this old brother has done good deeds all his life, has accumulated a lot of good reputation, and especially likes to release life.
The small river at the edge of the village, the water was so clear that you could see the fish, and it was the place where he frequented.
Every New Year's festival or when he was in a good mood, he would carry a few fish, gently put them into the river, and chanted the words in his mouth: "Fish, swim, find your freedom."
"No, the sun is just right in the spring, and Li Dashan came to the river with a bucket of fish.
There was a big fish inside, shining with silver light, and there was an aura in his eyes, which was not an ordinary commodity at first glance.
Li Dashanren's heart moved, and he thought: "This fish must have spirituality, let you go today, and you will be blessed with our side in the future."
After saying that, he carefully took out the big fish and gently lowered it into the river.
The big fish spun around the water a few times, as if to show gratitude, and then swam away with its tail swing, leaving a series of splashes in its wake.
At night, the moon hung high, and the moonlight sprinkled the small courtyard.
Li Dashan was sleeping soundly, and suddenly felt a cool breeze, as if something was approaching.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a handsome boy in a green shirt and a jade crown standing in front of the bed, which was the same big fish that had been released during the day.
With a smile on his face, Childe bowed his hand and said, "Li Dashanren, I am the dragon son of the river, thanks to you for saving me today, I am grateful."
I specially came to tell you that the old house in the west of our village that has been abandoned for many years, don't look at its dilapidation, in fact, there are a lot of articles in it.
If you can find a way to buy it, you will be grateful in the future.
After saying that, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the night.
Li Dashan woke up, the scene in the dream was still vivid, and he was shocked and suspicious.
The next morning, he followed the instructions in his dream and went to the west of the village to see the old house.
The old house is dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and there are cobwebs hanging on the door, which makes it look particularly desolate.
But Li Dashanren's heart moved, remembered the words of Longzi in his dream, and decided to give it a try.
But buying an old house is not a small amount, although his family is not poor, but he can't come up with so much money at once.
So, he ran around, first selling some things that he didn't need at home, and then explaining to relatives and friends one by one, begging them for help.
Everyone was very curious when they heard that Li Dashan was going to buy an old house, but seeing that he was usually so helpful, they all reached out to help.
There were also several squires who were moved by Li Dashan's kindness and offered to sponsor them.
After a lot of hard work, I finally got enough money.
Li Dashan took the silver ticket, looking forward to it and nervous, and came to the old mansion again and completed the transaction with the owner.
After buying the old house, Li Dashan began to repair it.
He personally supervised the work, and every brick and tile was to be restored to its original state.
As the project deepened, the secrets of the old mansion were gradually revealed.
It turned out that this house used to be lived by a hermit in the previous dynasty, and the hermit had superb medical skills and knew Taoism, and lived in seclusion here in his later years, leaving behind many precious books and treasures.
Oh, that's amazing!
Under our old house, there is actually a secret room hidden, and there is a clear spring in it, the water is as clear as a mirror, and it tastes sweet, and I heard that it can also make people live longer, cure diseases and eliminate disasters.
Li Dashan can be regarded as understanding this time, Longzi's words are true, our old house is really a good place to hide the dragon and crouching tiger.
He was so grateful in his heart that he decided to take out the spring water, treat the villagers, and open a medical hall without charging money.
He sorted out all the books left by the hermit, so that future generations could learn and pass on the Taoist forensic skills.
After that, Li Dashan's reputation spread even further, not only because he was kind and charitable, but also because he had the ability to cure all kinds of diseases and save people in danger.
The old mansion has also changed from a forgotten corner to a holy place in everyone's hearts.
Every night, as soon as the moon comes out, the old house is brightened by the moonlight, and you can still hear the melodious dragon roar, as if telling the story of release, gratitude and feedback.
As soon as Li Dashan thought of this, he couldn't help laughing, and said silently in his heart: "Everything in this world has spirituality, and although good deeds are small, they can form an indissoluble bond."
He knew that all these changes were because of the kindness of a thought by the river that day, which released the big fish and released a piece of his own world.
Let's talk about Li Dashan, with the clear spring and classics in the old house, he not only saved the villagers from the torture of illness, but also attracted people seeking medical treatment from all directions.
In front of the old house, it was called a lively and busy city.
Li Dashan people do not forget their original intentions, insist on free diagnosis and treatment, only charge the cost of medicinal materials, and often help those patients who come from afar and are short of money.
After a long time, the old house became a "living Bodhisattva temple" in the hearts of the villagers, and Li Dashan also became "Li Shenyi".
But Li Dashan knew in his heart that this favor was given by the big fish in his dream, that is, the dragon son.
He often prayed silently in the dead of night to the clear spring to thank the dragon for his guidance and gifts.
In the blink of an eye, it was winter again, and the snow was falling, and Li Dashan had just seen the last patient and was about to rest, when he suddenly heard a quick knock on the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man in ragged clothes with a weathered face, holding an unconscious child in his arms, his eyes full of anxiety and despair.
"Divine doctor, please save my baby!
He had been sick for several days, and the doctors in the village said that there was no help.
The man's voice choked and he almost knelt down.
Li Dashan hurriedly helped him, carried the child into the house, and after a closer look, the child's face was pale, his breathing was weak, and he was not lightly ill.
Li Dashanren frowned, thinking in his heart, this child's illness has never even seen him.
I was worried, and suddenly saw the moonlight outside the window like water, the clear light sprinkled all over the house, and a faint ambergris wafted in.
Li Dashan's heart was hot, and he suddenly remembered Longzi's words, saying that there is some secret hidden in our old house, maybe there is a panacea to save our baby in this clear spring.
He immediately took a porcelain bowl, scooped a bowl of spring water, and carefully fed it to the baby.
It is also said that as soon as the water enters the baby's mouth, it is like magic, becoming a warm current, swishing around the baby's body, where there is a disease, it will get better.
After a while, the baby woke up, and her little face slowly turned red.
The man looked at it, and was so excited that he burst into tears, his head was like pounding garlic, and he said in a loud voice: "Divine doctor, you are the Bodhisattva!"
I'm kowtowing to you!
Li Dashan hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, our baby's life is hard, and we are also destined."
Remember, whenever you encounter difficulties, as long as you have good thoughts in your heart, there will always be someone to help.
The man thanked him and left with the good baby.
This matter spread quickly in the village, and the villagers' belief and admiration for Li Dashanren and the old house deepened.
But just when everyone thought it was calm, a catastrophe suddenly came.
That summer, after several days of heavy rain, flash floods broke out, and the river swelled like something, and it was about to flood the village.
The villagers panicked and ran for their lives to find a place to hide.
But Li Dashan didn't run, he stood in front of the old house, watching the flood rushing over, silently reciting the name of the dragon in his heart, asking for peace.
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky cracked, and the golden light shone, and a huge dragon descended from the sky, circling the old house, and the dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth.
The flood listened to the dragon's chant, and slowly receded, as if it was controlled by some mysterious force, and walked around the village, and the village was saved.
The villagers were stunned when they saw this strange scene, and they admired the good deeds of Li Dashan and the blessing of the dragon son.
After the flood, Li Dashan took everyone to rebuild their homes, and everyone's feelings deepened and helped each other.
The old house has also become the patron saint of the village, and every night, the dragon's roar wafts in the sky, reminding people not to forget their original intention and to do good.
Time flies, and Li Dashan is also old, but his life is like the clear spring water, clear and deep, nourishing generations of villagers.
Before leaving, he passed on the old house and medical skills to his descendants, leaving a message: "The heart of the doctor's parents is good in the world."
Don't forget the original intention, so that you can go to the end.
Since then, the story of the old house has spread throughout the village, becoming a beautiful story, inspiring future generations to keep moving forward and spreading kindness and hope.
The big fish that dreamed in dreams has also become the patron saint in people's hearts, guarding the peace and tranquility of this land.
In that land guarded by the dragon's groan, the years were quiet, and in the blink of an eye, several generations passed.
The story of Li Dashan is like the annual rings of the towering tree in front of our old house, which is carved deep and can be seen clearly.
The old house, it is still so quietly poked at the west end of the village, watching the ups and downs of the world, guarding the same kind of heart and hope for that idea.
After a long time, the juniors of the old mansion not only learned their medical skills, but also carried forward the strength of Li Dashanren.
They not only treated the people in the village in vain, but also opened a school to teach the children to read and write, and passed on the principles of life to them.
As soon as it gets dark, the lights of the old house are always the first to turn on, and the warm light, through the cold wind, shines on the little faces of the little children who are eager for knowledge, and also warms the hearts of passers-by.
But the good times didn't last long, one year, the plague suddenly came, and the people in the village were knocked down one by one, and the village became a mess.
The juniors of the old mansion didn't hesitate, they studied day and night, tried various recipes, and finally really gave the whole miracle medicine that could cure the plague.
They not only delivered medicine in vain, but also went to the door to deliver medicine and warmth to those patients who couldn't walk, and told everyone what to call the parents of doctors with actions.
In this plague struggle, the descendants of the old mansion not only saved people, but also made the villagers feel the power of unity and mutual assistance.
But just when the people in the village had just come out of the shadow of the plague and were ready for a new life, an even greater crisis came.
That year, the war raged in the north, and the enemy army poured in like a tidal wave, threatening the security of the country.
Although our village is remote, it cannot escape the war.
The villagers panicked and began to pack their belongings and prepare to leave the place where their ancestors had lived for generations.
At this time, the juniors of the old mansion stood up.
They know that running is not the way, only by hitting the hard, can we protect our homeland.
So, they pulled up a team and used the ancient books and the art of war in the old mansion to make a careful defense plan.
They fortified the walls, dug traps, trained militias, and prepared for a battle with the enemy.
The days of the battle were hard, but the juniors of the old mansion repelled the enemy again and again with their firm faith and extraordinary wisdom.
Their story spread among the people and became heroes in people's mouths.
The old mansion has once again become the patron saint of the village, as if it has given the villagers infinite strength and courage.
In the end, after countless battles and sacrifices, the enemy army was finally defeated, and the village ushered in the dawn of peace.
The villagers jumped to their feet with joy to celebrate this hard-won victory.
The juniors of the old mansion stood quietly in the crowd, although their faces were full of exhaustion and vicissitudes, but their eyes flashed with determination and pride.
After the war, our small village can be regarded as a new look, and the old house has been cleaned up more stylishly and beautifully.
In order to thank the descendants of the old mansion and their contributions, the villagers specially erected a monument for them, which engraved their names and what great things they had done.
As soon as the newcomers entered the village, the first thing they did was to be led to the monument and listen to the legends of courage, wisdom and sacrifice.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is decades.
The descendants of the old house have also entered their old age, but the spirit they passed down is like the mountain spring water, bubbling and nourishing the later generations.
Our village is becoming more and more prosperous under the illumination of this spirit.
Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, enjoying a life of peace and happiness.
The big fish that appeared in the dream, although it never appeared again, its story is forever engraved in people's hearts.
In the dead of night, there are always people who think of the story of release, gratitude and feedback, and their hearts are warm.
They understand that in this world, there are some things that transcend life and death, and some powers that can travel through time and space.
That is kindness, hope and love, they are like the mountain spring water, clear and bottomless, forever nourishing people's hearts.
