Li Daring, a person worthy of his name, has a hard body, a beard, and usually lives by killing pigs and sheep, and his craftsmanship is first-class and good, and the people in the town give him a thumbs up and praise him for being a "good man".
But who knows, this iron-blooded man has a tender feeling hidden in his heart.
One evening, Li Daring took a day, and on his way home passed through a barren forest outside the town, and heard a burst of wailing in the forest, which sounded like some wild beast fighting, but like a wounded little animal crying for help.
His heart softened, he put down the butcher's knife in his hand, took the torch, and walked cautiously into the woods.
Peeling through the dense bushes, I saw a wild dog with bells and whistles and a wounded left leg, curled up on the ground, his eyes full of despair and pleas for help. "Hey, you little thing, why are you so unlucky?" Li Daring walked over as he spoke, and the wild dog not only didn't run, but also looked at him directly with his watery eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Li Daring sighed, untied the water bag from his waist, gently fed the wild dog a few mouthfuls of water, and tore a piece of cloth to bandage its wounds simply. "Count your fate, you met me, if it were someone else, maybe you would become a snack." He smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up the dingo, and headed home.
When she returned home, Li Daring's daughter-in-law, Wang, saw the situation, although she felt a little strange, but she didn't ask much, and silently helped take care of the wild dog.
Strange to say, this wild dog seems to understand human language, and after the injury is healed, not only did he not leave, but he also became a member of the family, guarding the family day and night.
Time flickered, a few months passed, everything was as usual in the town, and Li Daring's days returned to normal.
But on a stormy night, things changed.
That night, as soon as Li Daring lay down, he felt a wave of sleepiness hit, and in a daze, he saw a huge wild dog with golden lights on his body, which was the one he saved.
It spoke, and its voice was gentle and solemn: "Li Daring, seeing that you saved me at the beginning, I came to tell you."
When you go out tomorrow, you must pay attention to your daughter-in-law's shoes, and if something is wrong, hurry home and don't delay. After speaking, the golden light flashed, and the wild dog disappeared, and Li Daring woke up suddenly, and found that he was still lying on the bed, and the rain was roaring outside, and the scene just now was like a dream.
Early the next morning, Li Daring still got up early and prepared to go out to buy things.
Before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at Wang's shoes a few more times, especially her shoes, but he didn't see anything wrong.
The little Jiujiu in my heart, let's not mention it, I guess it was a dream, I shook my head, and walked to the market.
The market was packed, and it was as lively as the New Year, and Li Daring was busy for most of the day, until the sun was in the west, and then he remembered the wild dog at home.
He looked down and saw that there seemed to be a little more watermark on the cloth shoes sewn by his daughter-in-law, and the alarm bell in his heart rang.
He hurriedly packed up and hurried home in three steps and two steps.
When he got home, the door was closed tightly, and the courtyard was as quiet as if no one was there, and the ominous premonition in Li Daring's heart was like a chicken blood.
As soon as he made a hard effort, the door "clanged" opened, and he saw Wang lying on the ground, his face as white as paper, and a pair of wet embroidered shoes were thrown next to him, and there were a few green blades of grass hanging on the tips of the shoes, which looked like he had just returned from outside.
Li Daring's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang up, but found that she was already unconscious, and the cold air on her body was as if she had just crawled out of the ice cellar.
"This.
.
.
What's going on? "Li Daring was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and was about to go out to find a doctor, when he heard the sound of footsteps outside in a hurry, and an old man dressed as a Taoist priest broke in, holding a peachwood sword in his hand, and the seriousness on his face was as if he was going to battle." Master Li Shi, the poor road passed by here, and he felt that this place was demonic, so he came to take a look.
What's going on in your family lately? When Li Daring heard this, he hurriedly told the wild dog about the dream and the Wang family's coma.
When the Taoist priest heard this, he frowned, pondered for a while, and said: "That wild dog is not an ordinary dog, it should be a spirit animal in the mountain, because you let it live, and it came to repay the favor."
In this case, eighty percent of your daughter-in-law was killed by a monster, but fortunately, the spirit beast called the police in advance, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. After speaking, the Taoist priest took out a piece of rune paper, pasted it on Wang's forehead, and recited words in his mouth, and the rune paper burned by itself, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and slowly drilled into Wang's body.
After a while, Wang woke up, and his face slowly regained a little ruddy, but he still looked a little empty.
"Thank you for saving your life!" Li Daring was so grateful that tears were about to fall, and he knelt on the ground.
The Taoist priest smiled slightly and waved his hand: "This is karma, the good cause you planted before, and today you have obtained the good result."
Remember, the heart is as kind as water, let's talk about Li Daring and Wang's affairs.
Wang woke up, his eyes were still a little confused, but as soon as he saw Li Daring and the Taoist priest, his heart was much more steady.
She struggled to sit up, her voice still a little weak: "Bold, what's wrong with me?" Li Daring hurriedly helped her, his eyes were red: "Lady, you were almost killed by that monster, thanks to this Taoist master for saving you." The Taoist priest stroked his beard beside him, and there was a deep look in his eyes: "Don't be afraid, madam, that monster has been temporarily suppressed by me, but there are many demons in Maoshan here, so we have to be more careful." When Wang heard this, his heart tightened, and he took Li Daring's hand, his eyes full of worry: "Then what should we do?" Li Daring patted the back of her hand and comforted: "Don't be afraid, with me and the guidance of the Taoist chief, we will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties." The Taoist priest nodded slightly, and then changed his head: "Brother Li, look around your house, that demonic aura is still lingering, and it must be that the monster's nest has not been served yet."
When we go to the next day tonight, let's go to the forest together, find the monster's nest, and give it a pot! Li Daring listened, nodded and agreed without saying a word, although the daughter-in-law of the Wang family was beating a drum in her heart, she also understood that there was no other way to do this, so she could only silently pray that everything would go well.
As soon as it was dark, the town at the foot of Maoshan Mountain was shrouded in a layer of mist, which seemed extremely mysterious.
Li Daring and the Taoist priest were both properly prepared, with the guy in their hands, and set out on the road to the forest.
The forest was dark, and the moonlight was tightly covered by the dense foliage, and only the occasional chirping of night birds broke the silence.
Li Daring followed the Taoist priest closely, holding the pig-killing knife in his hand, and his heart was a lot more steady.
Walking and walking, about half an hour's effort, the Taoist priest suddenly stopped and pointed to a clearing in front of him: "This place has the heaviest demonic energy, and it is here." Li Daring looked in the direction pointed by the Taoist priest, and saw that the grass in the open space was growing in a mess, and there was a big stone in the middle, the surface of the stone was as smooth as a mirror, and there were still a few strange traces of green light on it.
His heart tightened, and the knife in his hand tightened.
The Taoist priest took out a stack of charms from his arms, chanted words in his mouth, and then shook them violently, and the charms turned into several golden rays of light, heading straight for the boulder.
Hearing a "boom", the boulder cracked, and a black shadow burst out of it, heading straight for the two of them.
Seeing this, Li Daring roared, waved his knife and went up.
The black shadow moved as fast as lightning, entangled with him, and in the shadow of swords and swords, the sound of metal clashing continued.
The Taoist priest chanted words beside him, and threw out a spell from time to time to help Li Daring.
The battle was extremely fierce, and although Li Daring was brave, the monster was very cunning, and almost made him suffer several times.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the scene of the wild dog at home, and a surge of strength suddenly surged in his heart.
He roared, his strength increased greatly, and he slashed at the monster's vital point.
The monster obviously didn't expect Li Daring to be so powerful all of a sudden, he couldn't dodge, he was slashed by a knife, screamed, turned into a puff of black smoke, and dissipated in the night sky.
The girl took Li Daring's hand and asked with tears in her eyes, "Daring, how are you, are you okay?" Li Daring shook his head happily and explained the matter in a few words.
When Wang heard this, she was grateful and scared at the same time, and she hugged Li Daring tightly, as if she was afraid that he would fly.
Since then, Li Daring's family has not had any more demons, and life has slowly returned to peace.
But they are like mirrors in their hearts, knowing that this good life is because they have kindness in their hearts, so they can turn danger into relief.
The mysterious wild dog never showed up again, leaving a good story of the butcher releasing the life and the wild dog repaying the kindness, which spread in the small town at the foot of Maoshan Mountain.
The years are unforgiving, and in the blink of an eye, Li Daring and Wang's hair turned white, but they still remember that stormy night, as well as the mysterious Taoist priest and the wild dog who understands humanity.
In the dead of night, they looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of gratitude for life and anticipation for the future.
The place in Maoshan is still cloudy and mysterious.
But in this ancient land, there are always some heart-warming stories quietly unfolding, reminding people: no matter how sinister the world is, as long as there is goodness in the heart, you can find your own bright path.
The story goes on to say that Li Daring and Wang's days in the town are getting more and more prosperous.
Li Daring's skill in killing pigs, after time to temper, has become more and more good, and the men, women and children in the town love to buy his meat, saying that there is a "kind heart" in the meat.
As for Wang, in addition to housework, he also learned some herbal knowledge, and occasionally treated his neighbors for minor illnesses and pains, and the couple became living bodhisattvas in the town.
But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and there is a man named Zhao Si in the town, whose heart is as small as a needle nose, and his heart is sour when he sees that Li Daring's family is becoming more and more prosperous.
He spread rumors everywhere that Li Daring's family was safe because he made a deal with the monster and sacrificed something terrible.
As soon as these words spread, the people in the town were panicked, and some people's eyes changed when they looked at Li Daring.
Li Daring heard this, and felt aggrieved in his heart, but he was a straight man and would not explain in a roundabout way.
Wang Shi was calm, she said: "We are not afraid of shadows, one day, the truth will be revealed." "Although that is said, rumors, once spread, are like wildfire, and it is not easy to extinguish.
Just when Li Daring and Wang were having a headache about this, the Taoist priest suddenly appeared in the town again.
As soon as the Taoist priest came, the people in the town gathered around and kept asking questions.
The Taoist priest smiled slightly, not in a hurry or impatient, first walked around the town, and then went directly to Li Daring's house. "Master Li, don't come unharmed." The Taoist priest greeted him as soon as he entered the door, and his tone was the same as that of an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Li Daring and Wang met the Taoist priest, like seeing a savior, and hurriedly invited him into the house.
Oops, this is something to be taken care of.
As soon as the Taoist priest came, we knew that there was a play.
As soon as he said that, our ears were pricked up like something.
He said: "In our world, everything has a cause and effect.
The Li family can be safe and sound, not because they have hooked up with monsters, but because they have a good heart, accumulate virtue and do good, and God naturally sees it in his eyes and protects them.
That monster, in fact, I didn't get rid of it back then, and this time it came back again, and it was also fate.
Thanks to the help of the Li family, this was completely solved. As soon as the Taoist priest said this, it was called a sonorous and powerful, and when the people in the town heard it, they all seemed to have enlightened.
Zhao Si's face, blue for a while and white for a while, wanted to quibble, but couldn't say why, and finally could only slip away.
The rumor was as if there was no shadow, and the reputation of Li Daring and the Wang family was not only not affected, but even louder.
People in the town say that the Li family is a real family of goodness, and there must be good rewards.
In a flash, the Li family's life became more and more prosperous and became a legend in the town.
In the evening, everyone loves to get together and listen to the older generation tell the story of Li Daring and the wild dog, and how the Taoist priest helped them refute the rumors.
Li Daring and the Wang family are still living their ordinary and happy lives.
Li Daring gets up early every day and is greedy for darkness, busy killing pigs and sheep, and Wang is busy at home, occasionally going to the mountains to pick some herbs.
Their hearts are full of gratitude and satisfaction, knowing that all this is because of their kindness and God's favor.
The years are unforgiving, and in a blink of an eye, Li Daring and Wang are in their sixties.
Their sons and daughters are married, and they are promising.
But the two of them still like to sit under the big locust tree in the yard in the evening, holding hands and reminiscing about the past. "You see, the wild dog back then, if he hadn't let it go, how could we have such a good life today." Li Daring said with a smile.
Wang was also happy: "Yes, good deeds are rewarded, this is not false at all."
In this life, we must do more good deeds, accumulate virtue and do good. The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of anticipation for the future and love for life.
In their hearts, the story of the butcher's release and the wild dog's return has long become the most precious memory in their lives.
The place in Maoshan is still cloudy and mist, and it is very mysterious.
But in this ancient land, the story of Li Daring and the Wang family is like a clear spring, nourishing people's hearts and reminding everyone: no matter how complicated the world is, as long as you have a good heart, you can find your own path to happiness.
