The cold moonlight poured over the earth, leaving behind a crystal brilliance like snow. The breeze of the night is blowing slowly, and in the distance, out of nowhere, there is a slight sound of a few intermittent shepherds, and there seems to be an eight or nine-year-old girl's singing voice in the middle, which is very touching, very beautiful, and very desolate.

Runzhi saw that Pu Songling had been talking for nearly an hour, and his mouth must have been dry, so he slowly poured a cup of tea for Pu Songling, and then signaled Pu Songling to have a cup of tea and rest first, and then continued to tell the story of this very wonderful and bizarre boatman in the Great Song Dynasty.

After Pu Songling drank tea for a while, everyone listened carefully to the beautiful and bleak voice of the girl who came from nowhere, and only heard the lyrics vaguely singing:

"Heaven and earth are like eggs, and the earth is like a compass; Cherish the beauty of the moment, and a good son is determined to serve the country; Life is like the morning dew, you must study hard; There are always hardships in life, and you must face them boldly; When the sun comes out, the earth will be clear."

The voice is very sweet and soft and full of a childish feeling, this voice is so pure, it is so full of a very magical aura, it concentrates a lot of mysterious beauty, people can't help but want to tears when they listen to it.

Pu Songling naturally heard this voice when he was drinking tea, so he said very sympathetically:

The soft and quiet song you heard just now was sung by the eight-year-old daughter of the Chen family next door, this young girl's name is Yin Hua, and her father is a coffin, and this song is the last ballad written by her father to this daughter when he was dying. The Chen family was originally a local family, but because his father was only diligent in his work, but not proficient in secular human feelings, he was not recognized by people outside, and he was always looked down upon by his wife inside, and compared it with other men all day long, saying that a certain man had earned thousands of taels of silver, a certain man had bought dozens of acres of land, and a certain man already had a third property, and he looked down on his husband's daily early and dark cultivation in the fields, thinking that his husband was more stupid than other people's husbands. So much so that I don't want to be intimate with my husband anymore, and every time I am with my husband, I get tired of it, but because of my feelings, I am embarrassed to ask my husband to write a letter of divorce."

Pu Songling saw that Runzhi was obviously very interested in this Chen neighbor, so he continued to introduce:

This Chen Qichun knew all day long that he got up early and worked late, where did he know his wife's many thoughts, and finally one day, because his wife didn't want to cook and wash for her husband who got up early every day and was greedy for darkness, all these things were left to her husband to do. The husband had to do a lot of farm work in the fields every day, and in order to catch up with the progress, he had to go home later every night, so that he could have done the work that could have been done just before dark, because he had to cook and wash his own clothes in the morning, so he could only eat a little and set off. But he was reluctant to leave the farm work behind, for fear of delaying the growth of crops. After all, these crops are in the vigorous period of growth, so they can only hurry to touch the darkness every day after it is completely dark, and rush home with the help of some faint moonlight along the way. The farmland is still a long way from home, and there are many mountain roads in between, and there are some cliffs in between, and it is often just set off, or less than half the way, and the day is completely dark. Finally, on a night without moonlight, so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, when the pillar of the Chen family, my neighbor Lao Chen, passed by a cliff, because he couldn't see the road clearly, and suddenly there was no guidance from the usual moonlight, so he fell into this abyss, and fell almost to pieces, and he didn't look like it."

Haozi listened, so he asked with great concern:

"Then what, this Chen family has lost its pillars, how can they live here?"

Pu Songling smiled, and then continued:

"This is thanks to the local magistrate Qiu Dexing, this person is an official with a clean sleeve, but for the people are very knowledgeable, especially for many poor people are very considerate, he set a monthly seven-seven plan for himself, that is, to spend two days a month to go to the county's most famous top seven richest families and the most famous and poorest seven families to walk, after understanding the facts, immediately to the rich people good words and persuasion, soft and hard, Of course, some of the more intelligent and enlightened rich people listened to Qiu Dexing's plan, because their family property was not used up for dozens of lifetimes, but if they went directly to the poor, it would often cause a lot of controversy, and it might be thankless if they didn't get it right, so they were naturally willing to take the initiative to give their dozens of lifetimes of family property to the poor, although they were also very sympathetic to the poor. But he still can't do something, after listening to Qiu Dexing's 77 plan, he appreciates it very much, and even has an old rich man who ranks third in the local wealth, and immediately donated all his family property, that is, 7 million taels of gold, and he just kept 100,000 taels of gold for home backup, although the family only has 100,000 taels of gold, but the quality of life has not changed much, so the family's parent Huang Huaxia has long told his children in the family to be diligent and thrifty, serve the country and love the people, We should be proud of making great contributions to the people of Li in history, and be ashamed of being greedy for enjoyment, not wanting to make progress, losing our minds for playthings, and being poor and extravagant."

Pu Songling said this, paused slightly, swallowed his saliva, and then continued:

"Originally, this Huang Huaxia has repeatedly taken out his family property to do charity, to help the world and save the people, but because his name is not right, he is not right, and his own family often can't change the suffering of the poor people of those poor single families, but it will even make some of the objects of assistance have some dependence, and even some objects of assistance with a low level of education, regard their families as their food and clothing parents, and think that such help should be taken for granted, although there are few such examples, but as long as there is one example, It is enough to make the people in the family very cold, so that they no longer dare to help the poor in large quantities, at most it is just to make a show, in fact, to transfer their own family property to avoid taxes from the imperial court. In fact, this hero is very willing to realize his greatest ambition in his heart, that is, in history, for the sake of the people of Li to leave this brilliant stroke, not for the sake of greedy enjoyment, all the millions of taels of gold are hidden in their own homes, and many poor people hate in their hearts, so that the rich are unkind, and their children and grandchildren suffer."
