Chapter Twenty-Three: Burying Suada Alive
It was already dawn.
Sua squatted on the ground, not knowing what kind of ending he would have. He looked left and right, looked at the wind from time to time with the corner of his eye, and kept saying forgiveness in his mouth:
"Good man, let me go! I know that I was wrong, and I will definitely change my mind and become a new person in the future. ”
"It's late. Feng'er said coldly.
"Little guest officer, don't listen to him! He is accustomed to duplicity and viciousness, so this time you will cut him with a thousand knives. The old lady said fiercely.
"Mother, beg them to let me go, I will listen to you in the future, and be filial to your old man. Sua knelt before the old lady.
"This will remind you of your mother, what do you usually do? An unfilial thing like you, I am not afraid of thunder and killing you when I go out on a rainy day! Feng'er, don't talk to him, let me beat him to death with a stick!" Ah Niu has a hot temper, and he is about to hit Ah Da with a stick.
Feng'er waved her hand at Ah Niu, looked at the old lady and asked, "Old woman, what do you think should be done with him?"
"Alas!" the old lady sighed and said, "People raise children to prevent old age, but I raise a white-eyed wolf." Not to mention the petty sinister and unfilial piety, but he harmed the township and caused unrest to the neighbors, what use do you want him?"
"Okay, let's bury him alive according to the way people dealt with unfilial sons in the past. Feng'er said.
When Su Arda heard Feng'er say that he wanted to bury himself alive, he was immediately frightened and ran away, hurriedly hugged the old lady's legs, and cried and shouted:
"Mother, please beg the good man to spare me, I haven't served you yet, I don't want to die. ”
"Brute, it's not for my mother's heart, look at the things you do, which one doesn't disgrace your ancestors? I can't control you, go there and let your father take care of you, and save him from dying." The old lady said sadly.
"Ah Niu, find a shovel and dig a pit behind the house. Feng'er commanded.
"Okay!" Ah Niu went out and touched a shovel and ran to the back of the house.
Sua begged for mercy hopelessly, opened his mouth and cried to the sky. Soon, the gate of the courtyard was full of men, women and children watching the excitement.
There was a lot of talk.
"Those who are unfilial should be buried alive. ”
"Xiao Zhaohua finally did everyone a disservice. ”
"Even if Ah Da deserves to die, Grandma Su is too pitiful. ”
"Huh? What about the unfilial descendants behind me just now? Did you hear that the unfilial ones had to be buried alive and scared away?"
“......”
Du Ling tugged at the corner of Feng'er's clothes, and his eyes seemed to be pleading for Su Ada. Feng'er stood there, pretending not to see anything.
Su A's pig-like howl made Ziwei's scalp tingle. He stepped forward and said to Feng'er:
"Feng'er, the prodigal son will not change his money. You see, is our handling a little extreme, are we letting him go?"
Feng'er frowned and said:
"Let him go, you read the book of Confucius and Mencius, and know the public rites of Zhou. What do you think you should do with such a rebellious and shameless person?"
Ziwei was choked by Feng'er's words, so he had to say:
"The old woman is so pathetic......"
"Poor? let him go, the old woman will be even more pitiful in the future. Such a person does not weep when he sees the coffin, but sees whether he repents until he dies. Feng'er said.
Soon after, Ah Niu ran over panting and shouted:
"Feng'er, the pit is dug. ”
"Okay! "Feng'er said.
"Okay!"
Su Ah Da was already crying and turning his stomach dizzily, Ah Niu and Liang Fu went over, one of them raised an arm, and dragged them to the back of the room.
Ah Niu dug a pit like digging a tree stump, and pushed Su Ah Da just right together.
"Mother, help me! Good man, spare your life!"
Sua's voice was hoarse, and he was still screaming for mercy.
"The sky does not hide treachery, and the eyes of heaven are like electricity. An unfilial person like you, no one will pity you when you die, why should everyone believe that you will become better?
Feng'er was righteous and stern, and was not moved by Su Ada's pleading.
Ah Niu heard Feng'er's order, picked up a shovel to shovel the soil, and buried Su Ah with a big head and face.
"Mother, dear mother! I really changed. If you don't change it, let me go to the underworld to get into the oil pot, and I will become a cow and a horse forever. Good man, spare me......"
Su Ah cried the world into hell, the loess was waist-high, and it seemed that there was no hope of survival.
Feng'er looked at the old lady with her eyes, and the old lady also cried into tears. He came over and took Feng'er's hand and said:
"Child, the old man has a hard life, and he has raised such an inhuman enemy. Don't let him die so miserably, let's let him live for two more days. O iniquity!"
When Feng'er heard this, she hurriedly said, "Okay." ”
Stretched out his hand to stop Ah Niu.
"Ah Niu, don't bury it, pull him up. Although he didn't recognize his mother, the old woman was still reluctant to give him a son. ”
"Don't bury it, what are you doing with something like this?" asked Ah Niu stupidly.
"Pull him up and ask him if he's changed. "Feng'er said.
Ah Niu and Liang Fu reached out and pulled out Su Ah Da.
Suada took a turn at the gate of hell, and in the blink of an eye, he was a man in two lives, and his whole body was paralyzed to the ground like a clay man. Due to excessive shock, he fainted.
Liang Fu pinched him for a long time before waking up.
"Mother, you saved me, I will definitely change my past mistakes and honor your old man. ”
The old lady burst into tears, stepped forward and patted the dirt on Su Ada's body, and said:
"Good boy, it's good to know that you can change your mistakes! Thank you a few little guest officers. ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Feng'er said: "If it weren't for the old woman's intercession for you, I wouldn't be able to spare you today! From now on, you must change your evil and return to the right, stop associating with those who are not careful, and keep your family diligently, and take filial piety as the foundation." ”
"Yes! "Sua is the only one.
"Feng'er, Hugh listened to his empty promises. After we left, he didn't know what to do with the old woman. Ah Niu said.
"Good man, don't worry, Ah Da will never dare again! The emperor is thick with earth, and the sky will thunder again!" Su Ah Da said confidently.
Feng'er laughed and said:
"It doesn't hurt to dare! My beggars are all over the world, everywhere. If I hear the rumors of your unfilial piety again, you also understand that there will be no next time. ”
"Yes! I understand, I understand!"
"A few little guest officers, thanks to you today, this prodigal son was pulled back from the edge of the cliff, and it was the Bodhisattva's manifestation that saved our family. The old body will cook for you, and everyone will drink a jar of old wine on credit. After the old lady finished speaking, she happily returned to the hall.
It's time to see the lively crowd disperse.
"This little beggar is not shallow!"
"Yes, the county master can't do this. ”
"It's a shame to be called a flower. ”
“......”
