During the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a carpenter surnamed Mi who went to work in the town, and because he was greedy for a cup, he drank with the main family until the third watch. The lord left him to stay, but he wanted to go home, and rushed to the house crookedly with his toolbox.
Halfway to the road, he suddenly heard a woman's sobbing, followed the sound, and saw a rope hanging from a big tree, and a woman was sticking her head into the rope. It's not good, someone is looking for a short view!He hurriedly threw down the toolbox, took three steps and made two steps, ran over to pick up the woman, and untied the noose.
The woman burst into tears, blaming the carpenter surnamed Mi for not saving her. The carpenter surnamed Mi was puzzled and said, "The ants are still stealing life, why can't you think about it?"I was kind enough to save you, why didn't you end up with one?What's your problem?Tell me about it. ”
The woman spoke. It turned out that her surname was Hua, her family lived at the bottom of the valley, her husband had died, and she was widowed at home alone, lonely, and helpless, so she was looking for a short time.
Speaking of this, the woman approached the carpenter, exhaled like an orchid, her eyes were misty, and she couldn't tell about all kinds of styles, only to see him lightly open his lips and say softly: "Big brother, a good person will do it to the end, send the Buddha to heaven, since you saved the slave family, you can't leave it alone, the slave family is afraid, you send the slave family home, go to my house now." ”
But any man can't resist this kind of coquettish **, the carpenter surnamed Mi with a sense of wine, suddenly his blood surged, and he was just about to promise to send the woman surnamed Hua home, when suddenly a voice sounded, "Can't go, can't go, don't go." ”
The sound came from the carpenter's pocket, and the carpenter remembered that there was a cuckoo in his pocket. Speaking of which, the carpenter surnamed Mi is also the lifesaver of this cuckoo.
That was three years ago, one day, a carpenter surnamed Mi went out to work, walking on a mountain road, suddenly saw a lynx, devouring a small bird, he picked up a stone and threw it at the lynx, the lynx dropped the bird and ran away.
The carpenter stepped forward to pick up the bird and saw that it was a cuckoo with a broken head and a foot that had been eaten by a lynx. He took pity on the cuckoo and brought it home** and saved its life. Since then, carpenters have kept it and put it in their pockets when they go out.
The woman surnamed Hua asked hatefully: "You monster, why do you say you can't go to my house?"The cuckoo said, "His lady is still waiting for him at home, and the lady is not feeling well, so she will wait for him to go back and decoct the medicine." ”
Of course, the carpenter surnamed Mi knew that it was the cuckoo who was lying, and the cuckoo's words calmed him down, and he immediately followed the cuckoo's words and said, "Oh, I remember, it is true." Little lady, I'm going to go first. With that, he picked up the toolbox and hurried away.
After walking more than a mile, the carpenter surnamed Mi stopped and asked, "Cuckoo, why do you say you can't go?"The cuckoo said, "Don't you want to die?"If you go, you will die. ”
It turned out that this little widow surnamed Hua was not a human, but a mandrill, which harmed the little widow's family, and then dressed up as a little widow surnamed Hua, specifically to lure men who walked at night, and harmed their lives, which has already harmed several lives.
The carpenter, surnamed Mi, was shocked and ran down the hill as fast as he could. The cuckoo said, "Don't go home yet, go to Lizheng's house and report the crime." Yiyan, surnamed Mi, ran to Lizheng's house. Li Zheng didn't dare to slack off, and went to the county office overnight to report the case.
At dawn, when they arrived at the county office, the county commander sent more than a dozen messengers to follow the carpenter surnamed Mi to find the valley. Seeing that the situation was not good, the little widow surnamed Hua turned into a gust of wind and ran away, and the servants found several skeletons in the cellar. The officers buried the skeleton and set fire to the house.
Back at home, the carpenter surnamed Mi was going out to work but was stopped by the cuckoo. The cuckoo said, "The mandrill will come to take revenge tonight, don't go out, hurry up and prepare." ”
According to the cuckoo's instructions, the carpenter surnamed Mi drew a diagram of the Big Dipper Seven Stars in front of the courtyard gate, and put a chisel at the position of Tianji Star, a hammer at the position of Tianshu Star, and an ink fountain at the position of Kaiyang Star. When night fell, a carpenter surnamed Mi sat at the door and waited.
At the third watch, a strange wind suddenly blew, and the line of the ink fountain was entangled in the strange wind, and the mandrill appeared, and the chisel and hammer flew up, constantly beating on the mandrill's head. However, Mandrill's mana was high, so he screamed, broke the ink line, and ran to the carpenter.
The cuckoo flew out and pecked at the mandrill's eyes. The mandrill screamed, grabbed the cuckoo and tore it to pieces. At that moment, the ink thread rewound around the mandrill's neck, and the chisel was nailed to its chest, and the hammer slammed into it, killing the mandrill instantly.
The carpenter, surnamed Mi, picked up the cuckoo fragments and buried them in the back of the house. In the spring of the second year, the flowers bloomed, and the place where the cuckoo was buried actually gave birth to many small flowers, which were extremely beautiful.
In fact, there are hidden desires in people's hearts, but the degree is different, so it is difficult to block the external **. Fortunately, the carpenter surnamed Mi is guarded by a cuckoo. To be a man, you still have good thoughts in your heart, accumulate more good fortune, and do more good things, and the guardian saint will naturally increase. This story adopts an absurd penmanship, which is to use facts to illustrate and persuade the world, and has nothing to do with feudal superstition.
