The man's name is Zhang Zhenqing, and he was not originally from Qucheng. He was a scholar who lived in a poor family, and his parents died early, and he has been living in his aunt's house for a while. Although his aunt and his wife are quite good to him, whatever they have to eat and wear, they are all close to him, and even his own son does not treat him so well. But this is not his own home after all, no matter how close an outsider is, he is an outsider after all.

So when Zhang Zhenqing was crowned, he still resolutely said goodbye to his aunt. With only a bookcase and a few books, he started the study tour. Zhang Zhenqing is very kind and very helpful. Whenever he walked through a place, as long as he saw the local people suffering, he would stop and do some meager help for those people.

Later, Zhang Zhenqing traveled all the way south and came to Qucheng. Because of his talent, he soon became famous in Qucheng. At that time, there was a family surnamed Fang, because they admired Zhang Zhenqing's talent, so they decided to let him go to his home to be a teacher. As a result, I didn't expect that as soon as Miss Fang saw Zhang Zhenqing's appearance, she fell in love with him. In addition, Zhang Zhenqing is teaching at their home, and the two sit together to discuss something. Over time, Zhang Zhenqing also fell in love with Miss Fang.

Although the other party is not so beautiful, human nature is really good. Whether it is a slave at home or a neighbor, it is polite and friendly.

The head of the Fang family admired Zhang Zhenqing's literary talent, and the two often sat together and chatted these days. I think that although this young man is poor, his talent is really good. Since his daughter likes others, and the other party also likes his daughter. Then simply promote this marriage and let the two young people get married, which is also a good thing.

In this way, Zhang Zhenqing married Miss Fang. also lived in his aimless study tour, and completely settled down in Qucheng.

However, the good times did not last long, and less than a year after the two got married, Fang's daughter-in-law suddenly had a serious illness. When it was good, Fang's daughter-in-law seemed to be a different person, and she was no longer polite to anyone. Even his father-in-law always complains every day.

I thought it would be over here, but I didn't expect it. After another half a year, Fang's daughter-in-law went crazy. It's inexplicable to be crazy, without a single sign. For this reason, the Fang family has invited many doctors, but after so many years, no doctor can be optimistic about it.

Zhang Zhenqing, who was hit by this, has been in a slump since then. I was no longer in the mood to read the books of the sages, but I went out to drink all night, and I always returned drunk. It wasn't until I happened to pass by Qingshui Building and heard Mr. Chen's lecture that I gradually recovered the Confucian scholar of the past.

It's just that what still makes him have a knot in his heart is the crazy daughter-in-law at home.

Although his father-in-law and mother-in-law had also persuaded him, it really didn't work, so he let him get another wife. After all, the ancients had a saying that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest. Looking at the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for their Fang family to help him Zhang Zhenqing Tianding anymore. also said that their Fang family couldn't stand Zhang Zhenqing and failed to inherit the lineage for their Zhang family.

But no matter what the old father-in-law said, he Zhang Zhenqing never nodded in agreement. In turn, he persuaded his old father-in-law, saying that although I, Zhang Zhenqing, have not read any books, at least I still know the grace. Your Fang family helped me when I was at my worst, and you are willing to marry your daughter to me. Don't say she's crazy, even if she's not here now, I will never marry her as my Zhang Zhenqing's wife again.

After a few words, he only said that the old father-in-law was full of tears. Although he still wanted to say something more, he also knew that he couldn't persuade this stubborn son-in-law, so he never talked to him about it again.

And Zhang Zhenqing is also the same as he said. It's just that whenever he sees someone else's woman and thinks about his own daughter-in-law, he can't help but feel a little helpless in his heart.

Just like the woman's words just now, it made him very melancholy.

Wine, drink cup by glass, drunkenness slowly hits the brain.

The man Zhang Zhenqing fell headlong on the table, still holding the wine glass in his hand. His eyes were already closed, and his red cheeks were full of tiredness at some point, but his mouth was still talking.

Daughter-in-law, I will definitely wait for you to wake up. Don't worry, I won't leave you in this life. Even if I die, I will be by your side. Always, all the time......

There was a 'snap', and the wine glass in the man's hand fell on the table. The sound is not very loud, but it is clear to everyone's ears.

Listening to the man's words, everyone couldn't help but be a little silent.

The woman's eyes, after the man was completely drunk. It was withdrawn from him, but there was no more smile on his face. The hands that were propped up on the table were also flattened by her to pill her lying head.

Looking at the woman's face, I couldn't help but have some sad emotions, and her slightly frowning eyebrows. Chen Yijian suddenly had a strange idea in his heart, wanting to reach out and touch the woman's cheek at this moment. Use the temperature of your palm to dissolve the sadness on the woman's face and smooth the frowning eyebrows.

The hand, imperceptibly, lifted up and reached out to the woman's face. But in the end, it didn't touch her, and she didn't take it back.

It may be that the woman was still immersed in the sadness brought by the man, so she didn't notice Chen Yijian's movements.

Chen Yijian, who suddenly came back to his senses, was shocked by his unreasonable behavior and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, his hand did not fall on the woman, otherwise how would he reply to the woman.

Pretending to stretch his waist, he raised his other hand as well, twisting his waist and making a crisp bone stretching sound. Chen Yijian deliberately amplified the movement, and a comfortable moan sounded from his mouth.

A moan, pulling the woman back to reality. The head lying on the table changed his posture, and he could see Chen Yijian on the opposite side. Looking at the comfortable expression on Chen Yijian's face, the woman couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said, "Aren't you moved by that man's words?"

Chen Yijian was stunned, smiling a little awkwardly, but he didn't know what to say.

Not to mention that the man just said a few words on his lips, it was the touching mountain alliance and sea oath that he saw with his own eyes, and Chen Yijian has traveled the world over the years. How could it be moved, and then there with a depressed expression.

The woman rolled her eyes again and said, "I really don't know if the girl you will take a fancy to in the future will be a blessing or a bad luck." ”

Hearing the woman say this, Chen Yijian was a little depressed.

Shouldn't it be a great blessing to be favored by such a handsome and dashing character as me?

Chen Yijian wanted to refute the woman's words, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know why, so he didn't want to say it.

At this moment, I heard someone in the store shouting excitedly: "Mr. Chen is here." ”

Then, Chen Yijian saw that almost everyone in the store stood up in unison. Of course, the drunk man certainly couldn't stand up.

Following everyone's eyes and looking out of the door, Chen Yijian saw an old man with a white beard, wearing a cyan robe. With a kind smile on his face, he slowly walked in through the door with a few books in his hand.

As he walked, the old man was still saying something to the people behind him.

And following him, Chen Yijian roughly saw that there were as many as thirty or forty people.

The old man was very kind and easy-going. After he walked into Qingshui Building, he first greeted everyone present one by one, asking them not to be so polite and just sit. When everyone sat down again, and the group of people who had come with him also sat down in the store, he walked up to the high platform alone and sat on the chairs on the high platform.

At the same time, Chen Yijian also discovered. Originally, he was still chattering in the store, talking about an endless child. After the old gentleman sat down, they all quickly returned to their parents. Sitting on the stool, a pair of small eyes looked at the old man with bright eyes, showing a well-behaved appearance, where is there still a little bit of stubbornness.

A slight smile tugged at the corner of Chen Yijian's mouth, and he also looked at the old man. looked at the old man who was also sitting on the chair, but his heart became more and more curious.

The old man did not rush to get to the point, but first glanced over everyone one by one, and finally fell his eyes on the drunken man. sighed, and said a little helplessly: "It seems that our Zhang Gongzi has something in his heart today." ”

Someone below was busy: "Mr. Chen, do you need me to wake him up?"

The old gentleman shook his head and said with a smile: "Let him rest and rest, Zhang Gongzi is really tired." ”

The man sighed and stopped talking.

The old gentleman turned his gaze to the proprietress who was sitting with Chen Yijian, and said apologetically: "There is a boss lady Lao these days, I really don't want to go." ”

The woman shook her head and said with a smile, "Old Mr. Chen is serious. ”

The old gentleman smiled and did not continue to speak.

Eyes, withdrawn from everyone. It's just that when he passed by Chen Yijian, there was a slight pause, but he didn't stay for long.

The books that were placed on the table were not opened by the old gentleman. He just gently pushed him to the table and didn't pay attention to it. As for the original wooden and towel items on the table, the old gentleman never touched them.

The retracted gaze swept over the crowd again. But this time, the old gentleman didn't set his sights on any one person. Instead, he cleared his throat and asked everyone with a smile: "Today we will not talk about the contents of the book, nor will we talk about the war on the battlefield. ”

The old gentleman paused intentionally or unintentionally, and only continued when everyone was puzzled: "Today I will tell you a little story, a very common story, a little story that may have happened around one of you. ”

The old man whispered again and said, "Say it in advance, don't ask me where this story was released, and don't ask me who happened to me. Because I don't know, I only heard it from someone yesterday. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the audience couldn't help laughing. Even Chen Yijian, after listening to the old man's witty words, couldn't help but smile.

The old gentleman did not deliberately stop the laughter of the crowd, but accompanied them to laugh brightly. It wasn't until everyone stopped laughing that the old gentleman continued: "Once, there was a dog meat seller. The old gentleman suddenly pointed to a certain man in the audience and said to him: "Just like you, you make a living by selling dog meat every day." ”

The man grinned and didn't speak. Because he knew that at this time, the old gentleman had already begun to tell the story officially.

The old gentleman continued, "I have forgotten my name." This person, once he gets old, his memory is not good. But it's okay, it's just a story anyway, whatever he calls it. If you all don't feel comfortable listening to it, then I'll give him a name myself, and let's call him Wang Ergou. ”

There was another burst of joy in the audience, but this time the laughter soon stopped.

"If you want to say that this king and two dogs, that human nature is really good. Don't look at him as just a dog meat seller, and he hasn't read any books. But there is really nothing to say about being a man and doing things, and the neighbors in the street have to give him a thumbs up when they see him. However, Wang Ergou has a bad problem. What is it? The old man and his mother were stubborn, no matter what they wanted, they didn't say a word, and they were sure to be blushing and thick necking to his mother. For this matter, Wang Ergou didn't shed tears.

Wang Ergou's father died early, and it was all up to his mother to raise him so big with a handful of and urine. Actually, Wang Ergou was not like this at first, but he began to change after marrying his daughter-in-law and selling dog meat for a living. Before this, Wang Ergou was a well-known filial son. Hearing this, you will definitely think that this Wang Ergou has become like this, it must have something to do with his daughter-in-law.

Wrong, very wrong. Wang Ergou became like this, and it had nothing to do with his daughter-in-law. In turn, thanks to his daughter-in-law. Otherwise, Wang Ergou's mother would have been angry with Wang Ergou a long time ago. Speaking of his daughter-in-law, I have to mention it again, that's really good. For the sake of Wang Ergou and his mother, it was simply heartbreaking. On the one hand, I want to comfort the old mother, and on the other hand, I have to persuade the husband not to be like this, not to be like that. We are children, and our parents have raised us to adulthood, and we should take more care of them when they are old.

Actually, Wang Ergou also knew that it was not good for him to talk to his mother like this. So one night, when his daughter-in-law told him about it, he told her what he thought. Said wife, I understand the truth you told me, but I just don't know why, I just can't control myself, every time I see my mother, I have an inexplicable anger in my heart, and I can't suppress it at all.

The wife was surprised and asked him what was going on. Where did Wang Ergou know this, he babbled for a long time, but he didn't say why. The wife had no choice but to put this matter behind her mind for the time being.

The days go on like this, day by day. may be told by his daughter-in-law every day, and Wang Ergou and his mother's mouths have gradually decreased. Even in order to keep himself from talking to his mother, Wang Ergou sometimes deliberately avoided his mother. The old lady didn't know what was going on, and thought that her son was annoying herself and unwilling to take care of herself. So, this matter was deeply imprinted in the old lady's heart.

This person is like this, as long as there is something in his heart, whether he eats or sleeps, then he is not steady. You think, how old the old lady is. I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and my body and bones can be better?

One day, Wang Ergou went to the street to sell dog meat. When he was about to close the stall, a man suddenly walked towards him. The man holds the child in his arms in one hand and a large dog in the other. Behind the big dog, there was a half-sized puppy.

The man came to Wang Ergou and said to him, "Dog meat seller, I will give you these two dogs, do you want them?"

Wang Ergou was stunned at the time, and said in his heart, how can you give me two good dogs. He asked the man, "Why did you give it to me?"

The man sighed and explained to him. It turned out that the big dog was not raised by their family, but ran in from outside. After driving it a few times, he couldn't drive it away, and the man didn't take it seriously. Then one night, the man suddenly heard a dog barking outside, and it barked very strongly, so he hurriedly dressed and went out to have a look. As soon as I looked, I noticed that there was a thief outside to pull the deadbolt. The man didn't chase him out, but just deliberately made some noise to scare the thief away.

Looking back at the big dog, the man felt that there was a dog guarding the door at home, which was actually not bad, so he decided to put the big dog at home. Usually it's fine, this big dog also goes out for a walk, and comes back every evening.

Later, the big dog conceived a cub and gave birth to a puppy. I didn't care about it at the time, but it didn't take a few days. My wife was about to give birth and gave birth to a fat boy. I thought to myself, this big dog is really sensible and doesn't need to care too much. But this puppy, after all, is small. If one day I bump into my boy, then I'll go up there and cry. I had the intention to kill the two dogs, but I couldn't bear it. After all, since ancient times, how can there be such a reason for grace to nurture vendettas.

So I'm going to take two dogs and give them to you. As for whether to kill or raise, then it depends on your own meaning.

When Wang Ergou heard that this was the case, he didn't refuse, and took the dog over. The man, as for it, turned around and went back.

After cleaning up the stall, leading the big dog, followed by the small dog, Wang Ergou was quite happy in his heart. I thought, this big dog is fat, and he can sell it if he kills it. As for this puppy, it won't be bad if you keep it for a few days.

Stopping and stopping all the way, Wang Ergou soon returned home. After setting up the stall and keeping the big dog on a leash, he took out his knife from the kitchen. I tried the blade, and it felt pretty fast. He turned around and was about to walk towards the big dog, but he was suddenly shocked by what he saw.

I saw the little dog standing in front of the big dog, looking at Wang Ergou with his teeth bared, and there were tears in his eyes.

There was a sound, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground. Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Ergou suddenly remembered the bedridden old lady at home. When he raised his hand, he slapped himself in the face, and said hatefully in his mouth, I am really not as good as a dog. The dog still knows how to protect the biological mother, and as a person, I often make the old lady angry, what kind of thing am I called.

The slap kept pumping on his face, and it took a long time. Wang Ergou suddenly turned around and rushed into the house, came to the old lady's bed, and knelt down in front of the old lady with a puff. said: "Mother, I was wrong, I will never make you angry again." ”

The old lady didn't know what was going on, so she struggled to get up and helped Wang Ergou up. But he was very happy in his heart, with tears in his eyes, and said to Wang Ergou: "Silly boy, you know that you can change your mistakes, that is my mother's most well-behaved son." ”

At that moment, an old man walked in from outside. The old man looked at Wang Ergou, nodded with relief, and said to him, "Now the anger in your heart is gone, right?"

Wang Ergou was stunned, but still nodded to the old man. Strangely asked, "What the hell is going on?"

The old man laughed heartily and said, "You, you have done bad things in your previous life, so you have this disaster in this life. If you don't wake up today, then tonight, your kid's life will be in jeopardy. ”

Wang Ergou was confused, and didn't understand what the old man was saying at all. But in my heart, I have a general understanding. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Chen finally picked up the piece of ringing wood on the long table. Gently slapped on the table, pulled everyone back to reality, and said: "Heaven is clear, and retribution is circulating." Whether we are people or do things, we must have our own conscience, everyone!"
