Once upon a time, there was an old mother, she and her son were dependent on each other, and there was a brother wren in the family. The old mother's son cherished this wren, taught him to talk, and taught him to understand human feelings and world affairs.

After the child, the old mother's son fell seriously ill and unfortunately died, and the old mother cried! Cry! Very sad, soon fell ill as well . Brother Stork went to a rich man's house and came back with a dozen pieces of silver. Treat your mother's illness. Unexpectedly, when Brother Wren was on the last piece of silver, he was caught by the rich man. The rich man believes that there is someone behind the goose brother. He sent it to the county magistrate. The county magistrate opened a courtroom and asked, "Who instructed you to steal silver?" Brother Wren remained silent. The county magistrate slapped the wood and shouted, "Come, let me pluck out all the feathers on Brother Wren's body." L ；.

The rich man saw that the feathers on Brother Crane's body had been plucked out, and thought to himself, Brother Stork This time there is death, so he will go home triumphantly. After the wren brother was plucked out of his feathers by the block official, he endured the pain around him, hid by the patio of the county kitchen, and ate the grains of rice flowing from the gutter every day to live. Soon its injuries improved day by day and slowly grew new feathers.

Two months passed, the injury healed, and Brother Yu returned to his mother, and he called out "Mother." The old mother hugged Brother Wren in her hand and was very happy, as if she had seen her own son, and told Brother Whee about the thoughts she missed after the farewell. Wren Brother... When I came back, my mother's body was much better.

On this day, it was exactly the first day of the first month, and when Brother Wren went out, he heard that the county official wanted to go to the Ten Spirit Hall to enter the incense, so he flew first to the bodhisattva of the Ten Spirit Hall and hid.

Accompanied by his bodyguards, the county magistrate came to the Ten Spirit Hall. Just as the county official knelt down and prostrated his head, Brother Wren pretended to be a bodhisattva voice and interrogated the county official, saying: / Bold county official, two months ago, why did you pluck out Brother Wren's feathers? The county magistrate said, "Because Brother Wren stole silver." Brother Wren asked, "Do you know why it stole silver?" The county official said, "This official does not know. Brother Wren said, "You are an official handling a case, why don't you make it clear?" The county official said timidly: "The lowly official knows that he is wrong." Brother Wren said angrily, "Do you want to live or die?" "The county magistrate trembled and said, 'I want to live!' Ask the bodhisattva to show mercy and spare my life! Brother Crane said, "Since you want to give birth, you will immediately pluck out the beard of the eight characters on your mouth one by one."

The county official knew that the Bodhisattva of the Ten Spirit Halls was very majestic, and did not dare to look up, so he had no choice but to call for a messenger and pull out his beard one by one, causing him to scream and jump in pain. When the county official's beard was all plucked out, Pengge flew out from behind the bodhisattva and said to the county official, "Now you know the taste of plucking hair, right?" The county official looked up and saw that Brother Wren had flown without a trace.
