Zhu Xiuya recognized her two godsons very early. These two godsons were recognized before Bao Yumei married into the Fang family. The two godsons have always been very filial to Zhu Xiuya. Usually, the two godsons don't come to the family to be relatives. But every year, the traditional festivals of the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, and Spring Festival will meet every time to send a lot of gifts. One of these two godsons is the 'wandering monk' Feng Ying, he is a lay monk, and now he sits in a small temple, the temple is not prosperous with incense, but he has no worries about food and clothing; the other is Zhao Zhengshun, a small merchant and trader, and there is also a small workshop at home, which is processing aquatic products, and is rich and safe.

'Wandering Monk' Feng Ying recognized Zhu Xiuya as a godmother when she was only nineteen years old. That year, Feng Ying had been hungry for two days when she arrived in Shanghu Village, and at the same time she was bitten on the calf by the vicious dog in the village, and fell unconscious at the gate of the Fang family's compound. That year was the year of the Great Wilderness, and it was the season of green and yellow, and everyone couldn't even take care of their own families, so Feng Ying's life and death were insignificant to everyone. Feng Ying didn't know if she was starved for too long and passed out, or because she was bitten by a vicious dog and fainted. Zhu Xiuya has been paying attention to him all day. When she saw that no one in the courtyard was willing to take him in, she secretly took a black-skinned steamed bun from home and fed it to him, and brought salt water to clean the wound on his leg. Fang Yunxi had some local herbs in his house, so Zhu Xiuya cooked the herbs and fed them. And when he saw that he was trembling, he went and brought a quilt and covered him. Zhang Xueyun also teased her at the time: If you pity him, he will move him to his home to raise, in case he dies at the gate of the stage, it will be me who is unlucky. Zhu Xiuya said in Ningbo local dialect: Nong Fu rescues, Allah comes to rescue. She really asked everyone to help carry him to her house, and saved Feng Ying with thin porridge soup. Feng Ying was rescued, and she wanted to worship Mrs. Zhu Xiuya as her godmother, so Zhu Xiuya had an extra son.

Zhao Zhengshun's story is much more tortuous than Feng Ying's experience. Zhao Zhengshun was rescued by Zhu Xiuya, which was completely done by providence. Zhao Zhengshun was twenty-two years old at the time, and he was a street seller. In those days, not to mention the big things, no one was willing to buy even those small things. Zhao Zhengshun carried the load, the east of the village entered the west of the village, and his mouth was so drunk that blood bubbles were grinding, and no one patronized his burden. If he can't sell small things, Zhao Zhengshun will have no money to eat. He thought that it would not sell well in the suburbs of the county, but it might be easier to sell in the countryside. Perhaps the countryside people are usually reluctant to go to the city, and selling it in the countryside is what the common people need the most. He had been wandering around the surrounding villages all day, and his stomach was pounding again. Zhao Zhengshun was tired and hungry, and knew that it was more difficult to beg for rice and food than to ascend to the sky. So even if he was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, he endured not asking for help.

Zhao Zhengshun couldn't find anyone to eat, so he walked out of the village with a hungry stomach and a load of goods. The sky was already dark, and the stars were also gray and dull on a moonless night, and Zhao Zhengshun walked along the mountain road in the dark. He really didn't have the strength to walk with such a heavy load anymore. Zhao Zhengshun put down his burden, stopped and sat on the ground to prepare to rest for a while, and wait for a little strength before leaving. Suddenly, there was a piercing pain in the instep of his right foot. Zhao Zhengshun subconsciously knew that he had been plotted, and shouted that it was not good, he must have been bitten on the foot by something. He struck a match, and the match went out immediately, and then another one, and was blown out by the wind, until he had struck half a box of matches, and he could see that there were a few thin tooth marks on the instep of his foot. He knew it was a tooth mark from a viper's teeth. He squeezed the wound desperately with his hands, and then spit his own spit on his hand and rubbed it against the wound, and he pulled out a few filaments from a bundle of silk in the load and pricked them into the ankle rings, for the venom of the viper was too strong, and he felt powerless. Immediately he had hallucinations in his mind, and he fell asleep, and after a while he fell unconscious.

By the time Zhao Zhengshun woke up, it was already noon on the third day. There was a middle-aged woman who was asking him in a voice he didn't understand, he thought he was going to die, he thought that he had gone to heaven at this moment, this voice that sounded very awkward was the kind of voice in Elysium, although it did not sound good, but it was also very comfortable.

"Nong wake up, Alatinon brings a glass of water." The middle-aged woman looked kind and smiling.

"Where am I? Who are you? Zhao Zhengshun raised his head with difficulty, ready to sit up.

"Don't move yet, Nong's feet are not good yet, so it's okay." The middle-aged woman stopped Zhao Zhengshun's actions and said, "Allah went to pour water, don't move." ”

After Zhao Zhengshun drank cold boiled water, his throat did not have the burning sensation before. But still in a trance. He asked the middle-aged woman softly: Where am I? Is my foot gone?

The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "Nong, rest assured, the foot bones are good." A big girl pointed to the middle-aged woman and said to Zhao Zhengshun: My mother rescued you back, you have been dead for three days. The middle-aged woman pulled the corner of the eldest girl's clothes and said, "Caiqin, don't talk nonsense, go and warm a bowl of cold porridge for him." Caiqin then left. ”

Zhao Zhengshun struggled to sit up and looked into the corner of the room. The middle-aged woman walked up to him and said to him, "What are Nong looking for?" ”

Zhao Zhengshun nodded, then shook his head again and did not speak. The middle-aged woman sat down and said, "Don't worry, I have hidden Nong's goods for Nong, and there will be no one less thing." She spoke the local dialect of Ningbo, and Zhao Zhengshun didn't listen to it very accurately, but she also knew the general meaning, so she put her mind at ease.

It turned out that Zhao Zhengshun was bitten by a poisonous snake called "inch white snake" by the local people. This is a very venomous neuronal viper, which is called "silver krait" in books, and the snake is mainly a venomous snake that invades the nervous system of humans and animals. Because it is characterized by a white and black pattern on the snake's body, like a white ring with a black circle, each of which is about an inch apart. Therefore, the local people call it "inch white snake". This snake bite needs to be treated immediately, otherwise, the life of the person bitten is in danger.

Zhao Zhengshun, who had fully recovered consciousness, felt a hot pain in his instep at this moment. He wanted to move his feet to the side of the bed, but was stopped by the middle-aged woman: Nong, don't move, your feet are not good, and the wound will crack if you move.

Fang Caiqin came over with a big black bowl, the porridge in the bowl was steaming, and she said: Drink, you must be very hungry. Zhao Zhengshun's eyes were wet, and he drank it violently, a bowl of porridge had already bottomed out, Zhao Zhengshun felt that he was not happy, and he thought how good it would be to have another bowl of such fragrant porridge to drink. Of course, he can't say it again, wouldn't that be too presumptuous. Three days ago, I wanted to drink such a bowl of fragrant and sweet porridge, which I couldn't do at all. At that time, I also wanted to pay for it, but no one was willing to sell him something to eat. During this period, food is more valuable than anything else, and a bowl of porridge is already a great favor in it, how can he have other requirements.

In fact, this middle-aged woman is Zhu Xiuya, and it has been three days since she rescued Zhao Zhengshun. This Zhu Xiuya rarely deals with people, mainly because her voice makes others feel very uncomfortable, she herself is relatively soft-hearted, and her mother is a very devout Buddhist, who has taught her since she was a child to do good deeds. Although she has never believed her mother's words since she was a child, she also feels that being a person who does good deeds and accumulates virtue will definitely be rewarded, and these thoughts are deep-rooted.

Saving Zhao Zhengshun was completely a coincidence. Zhu Xiuya's eldest daughter married in a small village called Au Likou in Houshan. On that day, the eldest daughter sent a message to her mother, hoping that her mother would go to her daughter's house immediately, saying that her daughter's family had an urgent matter and needed her to help. Zhu Xiuya is a foot-bound woman, she doesn't walk fast, and she usually doesn't walk far. However, after all, the daughter is the meat of the heart, more important than anything else. Fortunately, the road was not too far, she hurried slowly, and did not arrive at her daughter's house until noon, in fact, there was no major matter, but the daughter's family was about to run out of food, and the daughter hoped that her mother would bring her niece back to raise her. Zhu Xiuya took her niece home without saying a word. On the road, because I couldn't walk fast, I didn't go halfway until it got dark. The niece was timid and afraid to walk at night, and the grinding and grinding delayed a lot of time. When Zhu Xiuya came to an intersection, she suddenly found something curled up there in front of her and didn't move. She was usually a bold person, but she was also scared at the time, because she was most afraid of meeting wolves that came out to forage at night. If it is really a wolf, the niece and her at this moment must be more than lucky. But she didn't feel threatened, and she had heard that the wolf's eyes glowed blue at night, at least not in front of them. She was afraid that her panic would scare her niece to death, so she could only walk over by herself, and stood in front of this thing and kicked it with her foot, only to find that it was a big living person, and this big living person was either hungry or sick and couldn't walk. In short, if this person hadn't been rescued by others, he might not have survived tonight. Zhu Xiuya dragged her niece behind her, and kicked again tentatively, and the person seemed to squirm. Zhu Xiuya bent down and asked: What is Nong doing here? Seeing that this person did not react, he looked at his face carefully, and it was too dark to see his face clearly. I had to stand up and prepare to leave, but suddenly, my trouser leg was grabbed by the man. She bent down again, and this time heard a very fragile voice coming over: "Help me, help me."
