Chapter 45 Repairing the warehouse, dredging the well, breaking the intestines

Shun's younger brother Xiang, has a low character, obscene appearance, and a bad reputation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoI'm in my twenties, and I haven't married a wife yet. Anxious like a monkey, scratching his ears and cheeks all day long, thinking wildly.

Since following his parents to Shun's side, he saw that Shun's two wives were more beautiful than the fairies in the sky. Both eyes were straight, salivating, and I hated to take possession of it immediately. He became even more jealous and hateful towards Shun. bent on killing Shun in order to occupy the property of the two sisters-in-law and Shun.

Under the bewitchment of his stepwife and elephant, he has long been broken-hearted. And they breathe out of one nostril and help them design harm.

One day, he called Shun over and said, "The beams of the barn are broken, you should hurry up and repair them." ”

Shun is a filial person, and he never dares to say half a word about his parents' orders. So he said, "I'll fix it tomorrow." ”

Shun returned to his house and told Emperor E and Nuying what his father had told him to repair the barn beams.

"Ever since I saw the elephant, I have realized that he is not a good person. It's lazy to eat, when I look at Nuying and me, my eyes are always misty, and I do against you everywhere, and my parents are like a nostril. Lately, I've always felt that they are ghosts, and I'm afraid that they are going to be bad for you. ”

Nuying said: "They told you to go up to the house to repair the beams, and if when you climbed up to the roof, they removed the ladder below, or made some other plot, what would you do? Shun also agrees with this approach.

The next day, Shun brought a ladder and climbed to the roof to repair the beams, but as soon as he reached the roof, Xiang removed the ladder at the bottom and filled the barn with firewood and grass beforehand.

He fumbled for a fire and lit firewood. The raging fire immediately burst out of the barn, and at once burned to the roof of the house, and it seemed that Shun was about to be swallowed in the fire.

Shun hurriedly opened the mouth of the cloth bag, filled the mouth with air, grabbed his hands tightly, jumped off the roof.

Because the wind was caught in the cloth pocket, the speed of the landing was slowed down, and Shun fell to the ground unscathed.

The elephant hid in the distance and secretly watched the barn burst into flames, thinking that if his plan succeeded, Shun would be burned to death.

However, he saw Shun jumping off the top of the barn with his hands on the cloth bag, and he was unscathed.

Xiang regretted that he had worked for a long time in vain, not only did he not kill Shun, but also burned down one of his barns in vain, and he was annoyed.

When one plan failed, another plan was born, and Xiang and his mother looked at the well in their yard and came up with a bad idea to kill Shun.

They prepared a large pile of stones on the side of the well in advance, and when they were going to tell Shun to go down to the well to dig the well, they would push the stones into the well from above, bury Shun alive in the well, or stone him to death.

This plan was overheard by the little sister He, so she ran over and quietly told the second brother Shun. told Shun to be prepared.

When Shun heard this, Xiang and his stepmother came up with a bad idea to harm themselves. I feel extremely sad in my heart.

Empress E and Nu Ying listened on the sidelines, staring at the well in the hospital, pondering for a while, and then had an idea.

Emperor E said to Shun: "We also dig a well in our own house, but this well is not a straight well, but an inclined well. Let this inclined well go all the way to the wall of the well in the yard, and tomorrow after you go down the well, if you encounter danger, you can immediately drill into the inclined well to escape, and you can return to our own house along the inclined well. ”

The three of them dug an inclined well overnight, and it reached the wall of the well in the yard, where it was attached to the top of the water.

The next day, he called Shun and said, "The well in the courtyard is muddy, so you should go down to the well at once." Shun didn't dare not listen, knowing that this was a design designed by Xiang and his parents to harm him, but his father's order could not be violated, so he had to risk death to go into the well.

As soon as Shun followed the well rope to the bottom of the well, the stepmother and the elephant ran to the well, cut the well rope with a firewood knife, and pushed the prepared rocks into the well. I only heard Shun's shout of "ah" at the bottom of the well, and there was no more movement.

The elephant and his mother filled the well in a short time. thought that Shun was in a catastrophe this time, and he would definitely die. At this time, the mother and son let out a long breath.

When Shun went down the well, he always paid attention to the movement on the well. As soon as he went down to the bottom of the well, he saw that the rope of the well had been cut. So he immediately drilled into the inclined shaft on the wall of the well.

The stepmother and the elephant pushed down the rocks of the well, the big elephant was as big as a fight, the small one was as big as a fist, and there were countless messy soils, but they didn't hit Shun's body at all. Shun calmly fled from the inclined shaft back to his house.

The stepmother and the elephant filled the well with stones, thinking that Shun would definitely die at the bottom of the well. Xiang couldn't wait to run into Shun's house to occupy the two sisters-in-law. But when he entered the door, he was surprised by the elephant.

It turned out that Shun was sitting on the kang with the two ladies and playing the piano. The sound of the piano is melodious, soothing and peaceful, and there is no resentment or injustice at all, as if nothing had happened.

When he saw this, he was stunned, his eyes widened, his mouth wide open, and he couldn't speak for a long time. finally shouted at Shun: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Shun smiled and said, "Of course I'm a human, how can I be a ghost?"

The elephant was so frightened that he ran out of the door, shouting as he ran out, "You're a ghost, you're a ghost!"

After this incident, the family was calm for some days. On this day, the little sister came to tell Shun again. said: "Second brother, my mother never makes wine, but in the past few days, she has brewed two urns of wine, and she is still muttering with the third brother, you have to be careful." ”

When Empress E and Nuying heard this, they knew that Xiang and his stepmother had come up with a bad idea to harm Shun again. said to Shun: "Could it be that Xiang and his stepmother want to invite you to drink, put poison in the wine, and poison you?"

Nuying said: "Fortunately, I have two Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill here, which are the secret antidote medicine made by the old fairy Chi Jiangzi." That year, my father was poisoned by the cup of 'Sanmiao', which was the poison of taking this Baihua Antidote Pill. Because this Baihua Detoxification Pill is a miracle antidote, our sisters also carry two pills with them in case of poisoning. ”

Nuying took out a Hundred Flowers Antidote Pill, handed it to Shun, and said, "You take this Hundred Flowers Antidote Pill first, and Xiang and your stepmother ask you to drink with confidence to ensure that you are not invaded by poison." ”

While the husband and wife were talking, Xiang really came to invite Shun over to drink, saying that the first two things were all due to his own lard, and he did something foolish for a while. I regretted it afterwards, and brewed two jars of wine to accompany my second brother. Ask the second brother to go over and have a few more drinks to resolve the suspicions between the brothers.

Shun asked Xiang to go back first, and he took a pill of Baihua Detoxification Pill at home before going to his parents' house to drink. This time, the parents were unexpectedly affectionate and let Shun sit on the kang. This is the first time Shun has sat on his parents' kang to eat.

There were four dishes on the table with wine, like pouring wine, and kept persuading Shun to drink.

Shun noticed that the wine that the elephant and his parents were drinking was taken from the jar on the right. The wine that Shun drank was taken from the jar on the left.

Shun pretended not to know, let go of the amount of drinking, drank a pleasure, and had enough addiction to drinking.

This is the first time Shun has drunk alcohol, and he just thinks it is delicious. Besides, the brother elephant has repeatedly advised him to drink. Shun finally drank a jar of poisonous wine to the bottom, and he was still unsatisfied. Finally, with the smell of wine in his mouth, he hummed a little tune, staggered, and staggered back to his room.

The elephant was secretly proud, and there were bursts of sneering. Thinking that Shun had been tricked, he drank the poisonous wine of "Midnight Broken Intestine Red". In the middle of the night, he will die of poison. Tomorrow morning, I can occupy the two sisters-in-law and monopolize the family property.

Early the next morning, Xiang Lao got up early and walked to Shun's door to see the movement. thought that at this time, the two sisters-in-law must be caressing Shun's body and crying,

Xiang looked in from the open door, and saw that Shun was not only not poisoned, but more energetic, and the two sisters-in-law not only did not cry, but were sitting on the kang and talking and laughing with Shun.

Xiang was taken aback again: "Why did Shun drink this highly poisonous midnight broken intestine red and be unharmed? Could it be that there are gods secretly protecting Shun? Why can't he be killed three times or five times?" So I went back to thinking about bad ideas.

At this time, only the noise of cars and horses outside the door could be heard. It turned out that Di Yao had completed his examination of Shun and sent an envoy to announce Shun to the imperial capital and become an official in the court.

Like several times poisoning the plot to kill Shun. and then seized the two sisters-in-law and all the family property. But he worked several times in vain, and he didn't kill Shun in the end. I could only watch Shun take his two sisters-in-law to the imperial capital to become officials in a four-horse carriage (four times for the princes).

But fortunately, Shun left his house and property to Xiang, although Xiang failed to occupy the two sisters-in-law, but with the property that Shun left to him, it was not difficult to marry a daughter-in-law.

After Shun said goodbye to his parents and came to the imperial capital, Di Yao appointed Shun to replace the retired deed and serve as the chief situ. He took over the power of the government and acted as the Son of Heaven.

When Di Yao was ninety years old, he had already ruled for seventy years. Chose an auspicious day, Zen position and Shun.

Shun took over Di Yao's class and was called Di Shun. Emperor Shun was also the first monarch in China to ascend to the throne through Zen Rang, which opened the prosperous era of Emperor Shun.
