We have to say that the scenery of the small town in the south of the Yangtze River is really beautiful.
On both sides of the bluestone pavement, those houses with white walls are scattered, and the drizzle is like silk, gently sprinkled on every inch of land, as if even the dust in people's hearts can be washed away.
But in this quiet scene, there was a man named Li Xunzhen, his clothes were shabby, his face was haggard, and his eyes were full of helplessness and despair about life.
Li Xunzhen was originally a scholar, but there was an accident in the family, coupled with the drought for many years, the old lady in the family was very sick and urgently needed money for treatment.
He threw away his books and ran around, trying to find a silver lining.
However, in this world, people are warm and cold, and he begged for money from door to door, but he was either sent away by cold words or turned away.
One day, at dusk, the sun was setting, pulling Li Xunzhen's shadow long.
He was holding an empty cloth bag in his hand, and his heart was called a mixed bag.
He walked to the small river at the edge of the town, looked at the crystal clear water, and the idea of throwing himself into the river came to his heart.
Although the river water is clear, it is bitterly cold, as if you can see through the suffering and hopelessness of life at a glance.
Just as Li Xunzhen was about to take that step, a white-haired old man walked out from the path next to him and grabbed him.
Although this old man's clothes are old, his eyes are bright enough to illuminate people's hearts.
He asked, "Young man, what are you doing here?"
Everything in this world has a turnaround, why don't you try it again? The old man's voice was low and powerful, as if there was a kind of magic power, which made Li Xunzhen's heart tremble.
Li Xunzhen turned around, tears rolled in his eyes, and he choked up and said, "Uncle, you don't know, I, Li Xunzhen, have no way out."
The old lady in the family was very sick, but I couldn't do anything about it.
In this world, where is my place? When the old man heard this, he smiled slightly, and there seemed to be some secret hidden in that smile: "Child, listen to me, tonight, you take this cloth bag, go to the old mansion that never lights up in the east of the town, and knock lightly on the door three times, remember, no more, no less."
As for the outcome, it's up to your luck. ”
Although Li Xunzhen was skeptical, thinking about the old lady at home, he still decided to give it a try.
In the dead of night, the moon was high, and he quietly came to the old mansion according to the old man's instructions.
The door of the house was closed, and there was silence all around, except for the occasional barking of dogs in the distance, which broke the silence of the night.
He took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and knocked lightly on the door three times.
Unexpectedly, the door opened slowly, and it was pitch black inside, as if it could suck all the light in.
Although Li Xunzhen was a little scared in his heart, when he thought of his mother's condition, he still walked in.
"Li Xunzhen, you're here." As soon as the old man spoke, the voice was like the hot tea on the hot kang head, warming people's hearts, "I know that you are bitter in your heart, and I also know that you are a good boy with integrity, I will help you today." So saying, the old man took out a silver ingot, which shone in the light like a star, and placed it on the table.
"This money can help you solve the difficulties in front of you, but you have to remember that everything in this world has a karma.
You have to do something good with this money, so that you can be worthy of my intention to help you today. Li Xunzhen was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then knelt down with a "plop" and tears in his eyes: "Thank you, old man, I, Li Xunzhen, will definitely not disappoint your expectations, and I will do more good deeds to repay your great kindness." ”
The old man smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the light disappeared, the room returned to darkness, and the door squeaked shut.
Li Xunzhen held the ingot of silver in his hand, and the beauty in his heart was like receiving the New Year's money during the New Year, and he left the old mansion with joy, his heart was full of hope and longing for the future.
Ladies and gentlemen, after listening to this story, do you also feel that although the world is unpredictable, there are always some miracles waiting for you?
Although Li Xunzhen encountered difficulties, he finally got the help of nobles and rekindled the flame of hope.
That mysterious old man may be the patron saint of some corner of our world, silently watching everyone in need.
Our story has just begun, how Li Xunzhen used this money to save his mother and do good, and what adventures will he have, let's continue next time.
Remember, on the road of life, there is always a turnaround, as long as we have hope and move forward bravely, one day we can usher in our own spring.
Well, let's pick up where we left off.
Li Xunzhen was holding the heavy silver in his hand, and the heat in his heart was like drinking a bowl of hot soup in the moonlit day, which warmed his heart.
He trotted all the way, for fear of delaying time, and thought in his heart that he would first grab medicine for his mother, and then buy some rice and noodles, so that the family could live a stable life for a few days.
When she got home, when the old lady saw her son's face full of joy and holding the silver in his hand, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and tears couldn't stop flowing down: "Son, where did you get this silver?"
Don't do anything foolish! Li Xunzhen hurriedly comforted the old lady: "Mother, don't worry, this silver is because people see the child's filial piety and know that the child is in trouble, so they help."
You use the money to see a doctor first, and then the child will find a way to make money, and our life will be better. ”
When the old lady heard this, although she was skeptical, she looked at her son's firm eyes, and felt a little relieved.
The next day, Li Xunzhen invited the doctor in the town, grabbed a few pairs of good medicine for the old lady, and bought some food, and the family finally became a little angry.
In the following days, Li Xunzhen did not forget the old man's entrustment, he took care of the old lady while thinking about how to use the money to do some good deeds.
Our Li Xunzhen, that's really a character.
Thinking that at the beginning, he saw that the orphans and widows in the town were living a more miserable life than himself, so he was moved by compassion and sent them some food and clothing from time to time.
When the people in the town saw Li Xunzhen's change, they all praised him for being a good guy with affection and righteousness.
Time flickered, a few months passed, and Li Xunzhen's kindness spread in the town and became a good story.
But Li Xunzhen knew in his heart that he couldn't solve any big problems with his little money alone.
He has to find a serious job and rely on his own hands to make the life of the family more prosperous.
So, he slapped his head and decided to pick up his books again and prepare for the imperial examination next year.
During the day, he had to work in the fields, and at night he studied hard by the faint candlelight.
His wife saw him fighting so hard, although her heart hurt, but she was also very happy.
She knew that her son wanted to win glory for the Li family and glorify his ancestors.
During the time when Li Xunzhen was preparing for the exam, the mysterious old mansion appeared in his dream again.
In the dream, the old man was still smiling, looked at him, and said, "Li Xunzhen, you kid is kind-hearted and can bear hardships and stand hard work, I will give you one more thing today to help you succeed in the imperial examination." After speaking, the old man took out a yellowed ancient book from his sleeve and gently placed it in Li Xunzhen's hand.
Li Xunzhen woke up and found that there was really an extra ancient book in his hand.
When he opened it, it was full of knowledge of governing the country, and there were many anecdotes he had never heard of.
Only then did he suddenly realize that the old man was not only his benefactor, but also his guide on the road of life.
With the help of this ancient book, Li Xunzhen's knowledge has advanced by leaps and bounds.
On the day of the imperial examination, he was full of thoughts and flowers, and finally won the championship in one fell swoop and won the promotion.
As soon as the news spread, the whole town was boiling, and everyone said that Li Xunzhen was a Wenqu star, and he would definitely be rich and wealthy in the future.
Li Xunzhen did not forget his original intention, he used his own money to build a school in the town, so that those children from poor families can also read and write.
He also often organized free clinics and delivered medicine to the people in the town, winning everyone's respect and love.
As for the mysterious old mansion, it has always been a mystery in Li Xun's heart.
He returned there many times, but the door was always closed, and the old man was never seen again.
Until one day, while sorting through ancient books, he found a letter hidden between the pages.
The letter wrote: "Li Xunzhen, the fate of you and me is over, but your good deeds will forever be recorded in history.
Remember, no matter where you go in the future, keep a kind heart so that you can go further. After reading the letter, Li Xunzhen burst into tears.
He understood that the old man had already seen through his fate and believed that he could become a useful person to society.
He secretly vowed that he must live up to the expectations of the old man and use his own strength to help more people.
In the first year of the year, the name Li Xunzhen was not only spread loudly in our place, but even in the capital.
When the emperor heard about it, he also wanted to meet this capable man who could govern the country and be sympathetic to the people's feelings.
On the day Li Xunzhen entered Beijing, the villagers all went to the village entrance to see him off, some took melons and fruits, some took insoles, and the look was reluctant and proud.
Li Xunzhen took these thoughts, his eyes were red, he knew that it would be difficult to be so close to the villagers this time.
But he also understands that the burden on his shoulders is heavier, and he has to work for the welfare of more people.
After entering the palace, Li Xunzhen quickly gained a firm foothold in the court with his cleverness and a heart for the people.
The reform measures he proposed were applauded by the common people, and the emperor also appreciated him.
But no matter where he went, he never forgot the old mansion and the teachings of the old man.
In the dead of night, he prayed silently, hoping that the old man would watch over him from heaven and bless him so that he could do more for the people.
In a blink of an eye, Li Xunzhen was also in his fifties, and he took the initiative to resign and returned to his hometown.
Although the emperor was reluctant, he was also moved by his high style and brightness, and gave him a golden plaque of "loyalty and filial piety".
Back in town, Li Xunzhen found that everything had changed, and it seemed that nothing had changed.
The old mansion is still there, and time doesn't seem to have touched it.
He walked to the old mansion and touched the door, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable.
He seemed to be able to hear the old man's voice again, whispering in his ear, what is good, what is evil, what is responsibility, what is responsibility.
Li Xunzhen, this buddy, has a really big heart, and he is determined to use the rest of his days to protect our land and our thoughts.
He took out the money he had saved and built a number of schools and medical centers in the town, and also built an almshouse to help the elderly and orphans who had no fathers and mothers.
Li Xunzhen also personally compiled teaching materials, taught the children to read and write, told them the truth of being a human being, and hoped that they would become useful people to society in the future.
Time flies, and Li Xunzhen is slowly getting old, but his spiritual head is like the old locust tree, with deep roots and lush leaves, and he is always green.
His story has been passed down to future generations and has become a hero in the hearts of generations after generations.
In the dead of night, the old men and ladies in the town gather around the fire to tell the story of Li Xunzhen to the little children, teaching them to be kind, brave and responsible.
That mysterious old mansion, with the passage of time, has slowly become a legend.
Some people say that it is the place where the gods descend to earth; Some people say that it is the former residence of the old man, and he has been secretly protecting this place and the people here.
Either way, the old house has become a symbol of kindness, hope and strength.
One day, a young scholar came to the town, and he heard the story of Li Xunzhen, and also heard about the mysterious old mansion.
He thought to himself that he had to solve this mystery, so he began to ask around and gather information.
After some tossing, he finally found the last gift left by the old man - a diary that recorded the deeds of Li Xunzhen's life.
In the diary, the old man recorded in detail the experience of meeting Li Xunzhen, as well as his expectations and teachings for Li Xunzhen.
It turned out that the old man was not a fairy, but a wise man who had lived in seclusion for many years, and he saw through the prosperity and vicissitudes of the world, and decided to use his own way to influence and help those in need.
And Li Xunzhen is the lucky one he chose.
The young scholar finished reading the diary with tears in his eyes.
He understood the old man's painstaking efforts, and also felt Li Xunzhen's deep love and responsibility.
He decided to publish this diary so that more people could understand this legendary story and let more people feel the power of kindness and hope.
Since then, Li Xunzhen's story has spread more widely, inspiring countless people to pursue truth, goodness and beauty, and to contribute their own strength to the world.
And that mysterious old mansion has also changed from a legend to a spiritual home, which has remained in people's hearts forever.
