Section 4 Solitary leaves

Once upon a time, there was a man named Lone Yechang, who could understand the language of birds. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But he never dared to tell others that he could understand bird language, because in the eyes of ordinary people, it was too "ridiculous", so this became the deepest secret of Gu Ye Chang, and the only parents who knew that he could understand bird language had died early due to famine.

One day, Lone Leaf often worked hard in his field as usual, when a crow flew over and landed on the tree at the edge of the field, and it said to Lone Leaf, "Lone Leaf Chang, Lone Leaf Chang, the tiger behind the mountain beam hurt the sheep, the sheepskin is thick, I can't peck it, now you go and get the sheep back, but you have to leave the sheep's stomach to me." When Gu Ye heard this, he was overjoyed, so he agreed. When he ran to the back of the mountain beam to take a look, sure enough, as the crow said, a sheep was bitten to death by a tiger, and Lone Ye Chang happily resisted the sheep home. But unfortunately he was seen by Wang Er, a ruffian from his village. Wang Er, who is unlearned, lazy and lazy, often does things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, which is already a recognized scourge in the village.

At first, Gu Ye Chang didn't care, but soon Wang Er came to Gu Ye Chang's house. As soon as he entered the door, Wang Er asked Gu Yechang, "Where did you come from, your poor clanging sound, don't tell me this is your sheep", Wang Er asked in a mocking tone. Helpless, Gu Ye Chang could only tell Wang Er truthfully that the sheep was picked up by him behind the mountain beam and was bitten to death by a tiger. When Wang Er heard this, he thought to himself, "Lone Ye is always loyal and honest, it is impossible to lie to me, and now that he has picked up the sheep, since he has been touched by me, how can he score half of me." Thinking like this, Wang Er smiled at Gu Ye Chang and said, "You are really lucky to have picked up such a big fat sheep." Otherwise, I'll tell the rich man to go, saying that you killed his sheep, and see how he cleans you up then, and if you don't get your poor two acres of land back, you will be taken back" Speaking of this, Gu Yechang was indeed frightened, originally he would not give Wang Er, a ruffian, even a trace of mutton, but by Wang Er's threat, where would he dare not give it, because Wang Er could do anything.

After Wang Er took away half a sheep, Gu Ye was often afraid that the insatiable Wang Er would come again, so he kept some of the mutton for himself, and gave the rest to his second uncle and a few neighbors, but forgot the crow's share. This angered the crow. The crow thought to himself: "I was kind enough to help you, and only let you leave me with my stomach, but you didn't leave me at all, and I will take revenge on you for being alone." This matter has passed, and Gu Yechang doesn't care, anyway, he hears the conversation of various birds every day, where is there a disaster, who has food around the house, etc. He was used to the birds' conversation, and he took pleasure in it. But the crow did not forget this, it held the grudge the most, it had been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on Lone Yechang, and finally it waited for the opportunity. One day Lone Leaf is often at home, and the crow comes to tell Lone Leaf Chang that there is a tiger behind the mountain beam that has injured the sheep, so let Lone Leaf often eat meat and leave it for its stomach. Lonely Ye Changxing hurriedly went, and as soon as he left, the crow flew to the sheepfold of the rich man's house and grabbed two handfuls of wool, and some in his mouth, and then flew to Wang Er's residence. At this time, Wang Er was hungry and uncomfortable, and saw that the crow only scolded bad luck, but today this crow was very strange, not afraid of him, and flew very close to him. He was very puzzled, and after a closer look, he found that the crow was full of wool, and Wang Er was very surprised to think, "Could it be that there is a dead sheep?" Just thinking like this, the crow flew away. Wang Er hurriedly chased after him, but the crow deliberately flew for a while and then stopped and waited for Wang Er. In this way, the crow was flying and waiting, Wang Er kept chasing after him, and the other people in the village saw Wang Er chasing a crow and running, everyone was very curious, so they also ran after Wang Er. It didn't take long for everyone to run behind the mountain beam, but the scene in front of them stunned everyone. I saw that Gu Ye was standing there in a daze, only shivering, and the rich man of their village was lying in a pool of blood, with a knife stuck in his chest. "Kill! kill!" Wang Er cried out heartbreakingly.

In the hall of the county government, on one side is the frightened Gu Ye Chang, and on the other side is the crying and crying family of the rich man. In a solemn and majestic voice, the county magistrate asked, "Gu Ye Chang, why did you kill the rich man, quickly and truthfully recruit him", "The old man clearly sees that the villain Gu Ye is often wronged! The villain was deceived by a crow", Gu Ye Chang replied. The county magistrate said angrily: "Ridiculous, how can a crow lie to you? If you don't recruit it truthfully, you will give me a big punishment!" In desperation, Gu Yechang could only tell everything truthfully. Subsequently, Wang Er also confirmed the fact that he did take half a sheep, but no one believed it. At this time, the county commander whispered to the county commander: "My lord, why don't you try it, if he really has this ability, we will be blessed." The county commander thought about it for a while, so he said to Gu Yechang: "You listen to the messy sound of birds outside, what do you tell everyone they say?" Listening to Gu Yechang's words, the county commander was shocked, and thought to himself, "Whether it is true or not, I have to take precautions as soon as possible, and if it is false, I will punish him." "Come on, put Gu Ye Chang in prison for me first, if what he said is true, I will forgive him for not being guilty, if it is false, I will not be spared. The prefectural order said.

A day passed, the weather was clear, there was no sign of rain, two or three days passed, and everyone was waiting to verify the words of Lone Yechang. Of course, the prefectural order has also ordered people to strengthen the river embankment, and evacuate and properly resettle the residents around the river. On the fourth and fifth days, the weather was still sunny, and everyone almost thought that Lone Leaf was lying, until the night of the fifth day, when the rain poured down ...............

The next day, Gu Ye Chang was acquitted, and as soon as he returned home, he was surrounded by the neighbors of the village, who asked him what the bird said and what the bird said. Suddenly, Lone Leaf often heard one bird say to another, "Poor rich man, he was killed by his steward and a gang of robbers, how can you say that this human being is so ruthless and insatiable?" Another bird said, "And the lonely leaf Chang, who did not fulfill the crow's promise, was almost killed by the crow." Lone Leaf often hears this and understands everything completely. He wanted to tell Wang Zhenzhen, the only daughter of the rich man, the news immediately, but at this time, who would believe him?

Suddenly, one day, the two little birds that flew to tell Gu Ye Chang that Wang Zhenzhen was out today, and the Wang family housekeeper planned to kill her with the robbers and occupy the Wang family's property, so Gu Ye Chang quickly contacted the villagers to save her. Since it was believed that Lone Leaf could often understand the language of birds, the whole village now worshipped him as a god. When he informed the villagers of what had happened, everyone hurried to the place where the birds had told them. Sure enough, Wang Zhenzhen and her maid had already been surrounded .................

Because Gu Ye Chang saved Wang Zhenzhen and found her father-killing enemy, Wang Zhenzhen invited Gu Ye Chang to Wang's house as a housekeeper, and when Gu Ye Chang went to Wang's house, he found that the two little birds had made their nests on the high trees in Wang's courtyard. Later, Wang Zhenzhen and Lone Leaf often got married, and Lone Leaf often used his ability to communicate with birds to benefit the people of this side.
