In the evening, the remnant sun is like blood.

Kuang Guangbu went straight to the Horseshoe Lake in the south, walked on the lakeside, slowed down, turned to face the house in the distance, and said to himself: Wife and children, I'm useless, I'm sorry for you. Today next year will be my death day......

At this point, he hid his face and wept.

Kuang Guangbu's words were heard by the lake god in the horseshoe lake, he jumped out of the lake, and saw that Kuang Guangbu was choosing the position to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake, so he hurried to the east side of the lake, and pushed down a big man who was sitting and resting, temporarily drove away his soul, and attached his own soul. In this way, the big man who bears the firewood has become the possession of the lake god, but it seems that he is the body shape of the big man who bears the firewood.

At this moment, the lake god possessed the body and said, I must save him. As if galloping, he grabbed Kuang Guangbu, who had already chosen the location for jumping into the lake and was about to jump into the lake.

Kuang Guangbu wanted to break free but couldn't break free, and asked loudly and angrily, where are you from? Pull me for? Is it difficult for me to live, but is it also difficult to seek death?

The lake god replied: Isn't there no cooking at home? Come with me, I'll give you a bag of rice.

Kuang Guangbu was already worried about his family's livelihood, and when he heard him say this, he extinguished the idea of seeking death. Before he could start, he was pulled by the possession of the lake god and flew to the door of the mansion at the foot of the mountain in front of him, and told him to wait here, so he stood still.

Seeing that this strange man broke into the door of the mansion alone, in less than a cup of tea, he took out a bulging cloth bag and put it on Kuang Guangbu's shoulder.

The lake god possessed the body and said, "This is a bag of rice, you should carry it home quickly."

Kwong Guangbu asked with trepidation, how can I thank you? What is your name?

The lake god possessed the body and said, no thanks! Don't inquire about me either.

Kuang Guangbu didn't know that it was the lake god possession who helped him, and what he saw was a man, because the sky was getting darker, and he couldn't see the face clearly. But he was very grateful, and then put down the bag of rice on his shoulder, and respectfully bowed down to the man in front of him.

The lake god possessed the body but urged, go, go, who wants you to worship me?

Kuang Guangbu stopped bowing, got up and carried the bag of rice on his shoulders and walked happily on the way home.

When the lake god returned to Horseshoe Lake with his possession, he met the passing god.

The god of passing by knew him, and after a smile, he said, "God of Horseshoe Lake, didn't you just go to the door of the Liu family's mansion and rob a bag of rice?"

The possession of the lake god calmly admits that yes! You've seen it, but you can't tell me.

And the god of the passerby said, Who denounced thee? I'm just asking you, why do you want to help that honest Kwong Guangbu?

The lake god replied, you don't know, if I don't help him, he will commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake, and he will dirty my lake.

The god of passage said, "Forget it!" If he commits suicide by throwing himself into the lake, there will be one more ghost in this lake, and won't this netherworld water area under the command of your Horseshoe Lake God be even more prosperous? It seems that what you are saying is not the truth.

The lake god possessed the body and said, then I will tell the truth and listen. In my past life, I was the god of the stove of the Kwong family, and his grandparents were very kind to me, filling my shrine with offerings and making a sincere wish that I would bless their children and grandchildren with abundant wealth and blessings. To be honest, at that time, as a small stove god, I really did not have the ability to make their children and grandchildren rich and prosperous, so I was deeply ashamed. In the present world, I have become the god of the lake, and I still recite the merits of Kuang Guangbu's ancestors, and this evening I saw him crying on my lake shore crying about the hardships of life, and he was about to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake, can I not save him?

The passing god arched his hand, admire, you still know how to repay Entu!

The lake god possessed the body and said, I won't talk to you, my soul has to get out of the possession as soon as possible, and return this person's body to the big man who is still wandering by the lake, so that his soul can return to its place.

On this morning, the huge Liujiazhuang was noisy, and it was like chickens flying and dogs jumping. It turned out that the chief of Yahu in Puqi County led a team of headhunters to ride a high-headed horse to step into the dust and enter the villa, and they searched from house to house.

What to raid? The people on the village are still in the dark for the time being. Then a strange phenomenon was discovered, the squire Liu Binggong's house on the village was not raided.

A villager passed by the door of Liu Binggong's mansion and found it quiet. He had just returned to the door of his house not far in front of him, and the crowd of hunters who had arrived was about to go in and raid it.

He stretched out his hand to stop him, and said in a loud voice, "Tell me clearly, what are you forgiving?" Why didn't you raid Liu Binggong's house?

At this moment, Liu Bingcheng was in the crowd of head hunters, when he heard this, he immediately stepped out of the queue and jumped on an upside-down stone, he was originally tall, but now he looked even taller.

Liu Binggong let go of his voice and said in a loud voice, folks, I will simply explain what I am saying now, you listen, yesterday evening, a gangster broke into my house and forcibly removed a bag of 100 catties of rice, and the rice bag was printed with the three yellow characters of "rice flower fragrance".

Because of this incident, I rushed to the county government early this morning to report the case, and the county government sent Chief Hu to lead a team to our village to conduct door-to-door searches.

Of course, I now declare that if anyone is confused and does that kind of evil thing for a while, after I say it, I have figured it out now, and take the initiative to withdraw from that bag of rice, even if he surrenders himself, he will not be investigated further, and he will only be punished for working as a coolie in our Liu family for a month.

He looked at a number of villagers who came one after another standing on the edge of the field, and asked in an accentuated tone, did you hear clearly?

The villager stepped aside and said loudly, oh, it turned out to be a door-to-door raid for this matter, anyway, no one in our family does that kind of bastard thing, the county government is here to catch the head, you can just raid it!

A few catchers walked into the villager's house one after another, and after a while in it, they all came out empty-handed.

An hour later, the scattered raiders went to the ancestral hall house in Liujiazhuang to gather, but they found nothing.

Chief Hu looked at Liu Binggong and said helplessly, Squire Liu, the head catcher of our county government has also done their best, and they have checked door to door on your village, but no situation has been found.

Liu Binggong said, don't go back to the county government first, go to the surrounding villages to check, such as Kuangjiazhuang, Luojiazhuang, and Majiazhuang.

Chief Hu said in embarrassment, how long will it take to delay? It's almost noon.

Liu Binggong said, you go to Kuangjiazhuang to check first, whether the suspect is found or not, at noon, I Liu Mou will entertain you at the Zhonggang Shop.

Chief Hu said, OK! The brothers set off to Kuangjiazhuang according to what Squire Liu said.

I saw a horse team out of Liujiazhuang and galloped towards Kuangjiazhuang, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers.

It was nearly noon, and the Kuangjiazhuang harvest field was crowded with people.

Chief Hu was torturing Kuang Guangbu, whose body was tied to a stone roller.

Kuang Guangbu's wife, Mai Yuan, two sons and a daughter: Kuang Hong, Kuang Shan, and Kuang Hua all knelt on the threshing field and wept and pleaded with Chief Hu, but to no avail.

In front of Kwong Guangbu, on the left and on the right, stood a beater with a stick and a whip again.

Kuang Guangbu gritted his teeth, drooped his head and said nothing. When Chief Hu blew his beard and glared at him and yelled at him a few times, he argued that the bag of "Daohuaxiang" rice was not robbed by me.

Chief Hu asked angrily, that's strange, how did that bag of "Rice Flower Fragrance" rice fly from Squire Liu's house to your house?

Kuang Guangbu raised his head and did not speak, with a stubborn posture.

The stiffness lasted for a long time, Kuang Guangbu's heart began to collapse, and he told the truth, the bag of rice was brought to me by a big man from Squire Liu's house, because it was dark last night, I only vaguely saw that the big man was tall, as for his name? Where are you from? Why he helped me, I don't know.

At this moment, he thought to himself: Hmph, even if I know, I won't say anything about killing me, why? People have to talk about their conscience, if it wasn't for that man who saved me, I would have jumped into the lake last night, and no one would be alive.

When Chief Hu heard him say this, he didn't believe it at all, so he shouted, I think you robbed Squire Liu's rice family, do you still want to deny it?

Kuang Guangbu insisted that I didn't rob it.

Chief Hu asked loudly, who is that? We will arrest whoever you confess.

Kuang Guangbu's face was as pale as dirt, but he didn't say a word.
