There is a village called Zhou Village at the foot of Hutou Mountain, and after the old man Zhou Hai disappeared for more than a month, the two sons found that their father was missing. Zhou Hai is a well-known carpenter within a radius of 100 miles, good at carving, the bed he built is sturdy and exquisite, and people with heads and faces within a radius of 100 miles marry their daughters-in-law to make new beds, and they are all vying to ask Zhou Hai to make a move.
Decades have passed in a blink of an eye, Zhou Hai is old, his back is sore and his legs hurt, he doesn't take on any more work, he drinks a little wine at home, and his two sons Zhou Da and Tuesday Zi inherited their father's business and also became carpenters. That night, a man in Tsing Yi with a long beard walked into Zhou Hai's house carrying a jar of good wine and a chicken, claiming to be Li Sheng, who was from Li Yuan's family in Xitian Village. Li Yuanwai's youngest son is going to marry a daughter-in-law, and he wants to make a bed within three months, so he specially invited Zhou Hai to go out of the mountain, the materials have been prepared early, and the salary does not matter, as long as the bed is good. He took out two ingots from his arms, put them on the table, and said that they were deposits. Tuesday looked at the new silver of Bai Huahua, and my heart was itchy, but my father was old and sick, how could he still work?If you are tired, wouldn't you pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon?He reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the silver, saying that his father was old and had stopped taking the job for a long time, so please go back. On Tuesday, they said that they would either invite them back or change their brothers, but Li Sheng insisted on asking Zhou Hai to go out of the mountain, saying that the salary would be up to them. "Don't say it, I'll go with you. Zhou Hai came out of the room. Tuesday was anxious, stopped in front of him, and said, "Dad, you are too old to raise yourself at home?"If my brother comes back and finds out, won't he scold me to death?"Tuesday is telling the truth, the eldest brother took his apprentice to the city a few days ago to make wedding furniture, the eldest brother, has always been filial, I can't see the old father tired, I really want to let the old father out, and I have to peel off my skin when I come back. Zhou Hai said, you must go, this is what Li Yuanwai promised many years ago, if he hadn't helped, your eldest brother's life would have been lost, this is a great favor, you have to pay it back, don't say that you are still alive, even if you go halfway to the Nai He Bridge, Li Yuanwai shouted, you have to run back to work. Dad said so, and on Tuesday he didn't dare to stop him, so he packed his clothes, shoes and socks for him, and a purple clay pot that he usually likes to drink tea, and sent him out of the door. Li Sheng came by horse-drawn carriage, Zhou Haihai got into the car, waved his hand to his youngest son, and said, "Go back, I'll be back after three months." ”
After more than a month, the eldest son Zhou Da came back, with the old father's favorite sauce elbow, but the old father was nowhere to be seen, and asked about his whereabouts, and he didn't dare to hide it on Tuesday, 1510 said. Zhou Da said that he was confused, his father was old, his old eyes were dizzy, he couldn't play the straight line with an ink fountain, and he didn't follow when he went out to work. Tuesday really didn't think of this, didn't dare to speak out, and let the eldest brother scold. Seeing that his father is important, Zhou Da and his younger brother hurried to Li Yuanwai's house in Xitian Village, who knew that Li Yuanwai's family said that he had never invited Zhou Hai, and there was no one named Li Sheng in the family, the key was that Li Yuanwai had passed away a year ago. Tuesday was so frightened that his hands and feet were sore, and he hid behind his big brother and shivered. Zhou Da asked them if there was a young master in the Li family who had reached the age of eighteen, and whether the young master was going to marry. Steward Li said that the young master of the Li family disappeared many years ago, and he didn't know that he was abducted and sold**, so Li Yuanwai was depressed and unhappy, and he disappeared just over seventy. There was a commotion in front of the door, which had already attracted neighbors who were watching the excitement, and they also confirmed that Li Yuanwai was indeed gone a year ago, the Li family did not have Li Sheng, and the young master of the Li family was indeed lost in the early years. Tuesday quit, and said with a stiff neck: "What if someone else pretends to be Li Sheng and has ill intentions towards my father?.""Now the Li family is in charge of the Li family's uncle Li Zhensheng, after listening to the report of the next person, it is related to the reputation of the Li family, and he must ignore it, so he invited Brother Zhou to go in and asked him to check the Li family's subordinates, whether there are any male servants with the same appearance as Li Sheng. On Tuesday, he raised his foot and wanted to enter, but Zhou Da stopped him, clasped his fists at Li Zhensheng and saluted, saying that the second brother was looking for his father and was offended. The Li family has always had a good reputation, but Uncle Li said no, then naturally no, I think it was someone else who was playing tricks and deliberately ruining the reputation of the Li family. He bowed again and apologized, dragged his brother away. Others in front of the Li family continued to talk about it, saying that this thing was bizarre, what was the purpose?Ask for money, I haven't seen a letter for more than a month, I want people's lives, Zhou Hai is over sixty years old, and he can't use it, tricking an old carpenter to work, and he has to eat and drink, what do you want?
On Tuesday, the two brothers inquired around Xitian Village and the surrounding area, asking if anyone had seen Zhou Hai and Li Sheng, if they had seen a horse-drawn carriage, and if they had heard of anyone who had been building a new bed recently. This thing is too bizarre, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and soon the radius of ten miles will be known, after tea and dinner, there are people everywhere to talk about this matter, some people say that it may be the fox fairy to make trouble, some people say that it may be the revenge of the ghost. The brothers of the Zhou family continued to inquire, and when they heard that someone had mentioned the revenge of the wronged ghosts, they went to the door and learned that the old man had been an errand in the Li family for many years. In the Gaomen compound, there is no shortage of dirty things. Under the heavy money, the old man mentioned the old affairs of the Li family. Back then, Li Yuanwai brought back a young aunt wife from Yangzhou, the woman was born like a flower, a pair of watery eyes seemed to hide a hook, and the waist of the water snake was twisted and twisted when she walked, and any man lost his soul when he saw it. Mrs. Li Yuanwai once warned her husband that such a woman is naturally restless, easy to mess up the house, and cause turmoil, so it is better to send her away as soon as possible. Li Yuanwai didn't listen and continued to stay by her side. The woman also kept to herself, and did not go out of the door, and later gave birth to a big fat son. Relatives and friends came to congratulate him, and they all praised Li Yuanwai for being old and strong, and he could still be a father when he was nearly sixty years old. Li Yuanwai was overjoyed, opened the door, and set up a flowing water banquet for three days and three nights, not only relatives and friends, and the villagers of Xitian Village could eat, but also people passing by could join in eating and drinking at any time. "Those were the three days that the old man had eaten the most in his life. The old man said, wiping the corners of his mouth, as if reminiscing about the delicacies of the time. "And then?Later, a guest who happened to pass by ate and drank to his heart's content, thanked the host, and said a word that lowered the atmosphere of the present to a freezing point. He congratulated Uncle Li and said that your son looks exactly like Uncle Li, and the tiger father has no dogs. "What's this, they are two brothers, of course they look similar, and it is not surprising that passers-by misunderstood them for a while," said Tuesday. ”
Zhou Da sighed. changed others, a misunderstanding for a while, and the smile was over, but Li Yuanwai was different, he was nearly sixty years old, the eldest son was in the prime of life, and the concubine was young and beautiful, but I was afraid that he really listened to this. According to what the old man said, not long after, rumors spread in the Li family that the little young master was not Li Yuanwai's seed. Mrs. Li Yuanwai was so angry that she dealt with a few subordinates fiercely, and did not allow them to talk nonsense anymore, creating rumors about the master, but the rumors became more popular, and some people outside knew about it. Not long after, the charming concubine disappeared, and the little young master was left to Mrs. Li Yuanwai to take care of. She is also nearly sixty years old, and she still has the energy to take care of herMost of the time, the little young master was watched by a maid and servant, and he grew up bumpingly, but when he was four years old, he suddenly disappeared and couldn't be found anywhere. Everyone said that it was the wife who did it, and it was either buried or sold. It is said that Li Yuanwai also tried his wife, Mrs. Li resolutely said that it was none of her business, her son was older, what threat could a four-year-old child have to herself, when a kitten and a puppy were raised, and then asked, she scolded Li Yuanwai for wronging herself and wanted to die head-on, and in the end, the matter was over. Zhou Da was scheming, and when he heard the old man say this, he guessed that most of the people wanted to avenge the unjust death of his aunt and the little young master, and deliberately deceived his father, so that the two brothers could set off the old past and expose the face of the Li family. What he is worried about is that his father has been deceived to **, whether he has eaten well and dressed warmly, in case his father finds out their true colors, will they kill themselves?Thinking of this, Zhou Da was anxious, for fear that something would happen to his father. One day they passed through a wood, and suddenly a group of people caught up with them, and they were punched and kicked, and before leaving, they pointed at them and scolded them fiercely: "If you meddle more, next time I will pick up your skin and tear your bones!""Frightened, Tuesday lay on the ground, covered his swollen face, didn't dare to say a word, and watched them walk away. "Brother, forget it, they're so fierce, I'm afraid, I'm afraid-" Tuesday wanted to go home, saying that if something happened to the eldest brother, the Zhou family's incense would continue by himself. Zhou Da patted him on the shoulder and said okay, let him stay at home well, and if his father comes back, report to himself. Tuesday didn't expect the eldest brother to let himself go like this, a little ashamed, but no amount of shame could not withstand the fear of death, he still went home. Zhou Da continued to hurry, and inquired about two more villages according to the plan, but did not find out the whereabouts of his father. The villagers may have been coerced by the Li family, and they all stayed away from him, and without waiting for him to ask, they waved him away, saying that they didn't know anything. Zhou Da was secretly anxious, suspecting that his father might have suffered **, but if you want to see people in life and see corpses in death, there must be a result.
In the evening, Zhou Da was resting under a big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, and heard someone shouting from a distance. Tuesday brought good news and good news, saying that he met Li Sheng, who had picked up his father, in the morning at the bazaar, to buy taro sesame oil, although he had no beard, but he had a bruised mole in the middle of his right eyebrow, and he would not be mistaken. Moreover, he secretly followed behind the fake Li Sheng, and saw him walking towards Hutou Mountain and into the abandoned temple halfway up the mountain. When Zhou Da heard it, it turned out that it was dark under the lights, and the Zhou brothers ran all over the nearby villages, but they didn't expect their father to hide on Hutou Mountain, no wonder there was no news when they inquired. Without further ado, Zhou Da immediately took his younger brother back to Zhou Village, and told the clansmen that the young strong men had hoes and sticks and so on, and caught up with Hutou Mountain together. Legend in the village, a long time ago there was a big tiger on Hutou Mountain, once saved a passing scholar, the scholar later became a big official, remembered the kindness of the big tiger, came back and set up a tiger temple, the beginning.
One. Ten. Fifth, four o'clock and eight festivals, all with pig's head worship. I don't know how long time has passed, the big officials have long since turned into dust, lost their names, and the Tiger Temple has also become an abandoned temple, with broken bricks and tiles, pheasants flying, wild foxes infested, gloomy, and ordinary people will not enter it if they pass by occasionally. This time, everyone in Zhou Village is full of people, run into the ruined temple to see, the main hall is facing a new big bed, exudes the smell of shavings paint intertwined, the bed screen is carved with the eight immortals across the sea, the five blessings are in the door, the five sons of Dengke, the flowers bloom and the pedicle, the door is full of wealth and other auspicious patterns, the periphery is carved with pomegranate, bamboo, grapes, plum blossoms, etc., lifelike, ingenious. Everyone was an ordinary person, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw such a magnificent bed for the first time. Someone stepped forward and touched it, and said, "This shouldn't be the bed that the fairy sleeps in!.""No, it's my dad's craft!Zhou Da recognized it at a glance, this is his father Zhou Hai's craft. But such a big bed can't be made in three months to half a year, and it's only been more than a month since my father disappeared, how can it be?"Dad, you're a**!The Zhou brothers shouted, looking everywhere. The rest of the clan also left their beds behind and searched everywhere. The broken temple is not big, and it was searched all over in a short time, and there was not even a shadow of Zhou Hai in the temple. Zhou Da didn't give up, walked to the back of the ruined temple to take a closer look, and suddenly saw a few shavings scattered among the weeds. He followed the traces of shavings, cut through the weeds and weeds, walked to a big rock, and suddenly smelled a burst of wine, followed the smell of wine, and found that his father, who he had not seen for many days, was lying on a pile of hay behind the stone, sleeping soundly. When everyone heard the news, they rushed over and carried Zhou Hai home.
Zhou Hai drank too much, and only woke up when he was carried home to bed, and sighed: "Good wine, good wine!."He opened his eyes, saw the crowd in front of him, and asked in amazement, "You are here too?"Sobering up a little more, he told why. On that day, he carried his tools and followed Li Sheng out of the door, and walked to a palatial mansion, where a graceful and luxurious lady asked him to make a new bed for his son to marry in three months. The Li family treats him very well, has enough wine and meat, and follows his schedule. Strange to say, after drinking their wine, he had no end of strength, and his spirit was so good that he hardly had to sleep, and he hurried around the clock to get the bed ready. The people around him stared at him closely, and no one dared to make a sound, and Tuesday was even more frightened and his teeth rattled. Zhou Da saw that his father didn't know anything, and asked, "Dad, what do you mean, do you think you have entered the Li family in Xitian Village?""Nonsense, of course—" Zhou Hai saw that they looked strange, so he asked what was going on. Zhou Da pushed Tuesday in front of him, and he greeted a group of people, beat the **, and rushed to the broken temple of Hutou Mountain. Who knew that everyone rushed to the broken temple, the broken temple was empty, and the heavy big bed that everyone saw in the afternoon was actually gone. Some people were so frightened that they screamed and ran out, and a few bold ones followed Zhou Da to hold the torch high and looked around, but there was indeed no shadow of the big bed, not only in the temple, but also around. The bed was so big and heavy that it might not be able to be carried by eight strong men, and if it were to be carried by a carriage, it would not be as tall and spacious as it was. Zhou Da and they searched around again, and there were no footprints around them that carried heavy objects. "Yes, it's a fox fairy!Someone trembled. Zhou Da knelt down, bowed with his palms together, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the villain Zhou Da is just here for his father Zhou Hai, if he collides with all the immortals, there is no wonder, there is no blame." He hit the ** and everyone went down the mountain, his right foot suddenly kicked something, kicked his toes painfully, looked down, there was a half-new brocade bag at his feet, picked up the brocade bag and looked, there were four ingots of silver and two silver bracelets worn by children, and the bracelet also carried a small silver bell.
This is the great immortal's reward for you. The clansmen laughed. "No, this is Daxian's salary for my father. "Zhou Dadao. He took out two ingots of silver to buy wine and meat, entertained everyone, and said that everyone helped to find people, it was hard work, and today's events are too bizarre, please don't talk about it to others. Soon, the strange story of the old carpenter building a big bed for the fox fairy spread. This thing is so bizarre, so bizarre that it doesn't seem to be true at all, and many people rushed to Zhou Village. The young descendants of Zhou Village have seen this with their own eyes, and everyone has said it vividly, not only the big bed, but also the brocade bag picked up by Zhou Da clearly. However, the old carpenter Zhou Hai was frightened and bedridden, and the doctor said that time was running out. When Li Zhensheng, the uncle of the Li family in Xitian Village, heard this, he was so frightened that he smashed the bowl on the spot. Steward Li sneered: "Uncle, what are you afraid of, blindly pretending to be a ghost outside, it can be seen that you have no ability." Li Zhensheng was so angry that he picked up a teacup and smashed him on the head on the spot: "Pretending to be a ghost?."Do you have the ability to make a big bed alone for more than a month?Do you have what it takes to make a big bed disappear suddenly?Steward Li's forehead was smashed, and he stood motionless, saying, "They really have the ability, and they are willing to only make ghosts outside and not kill the Li family?"It can be seen that the ability is nothing more than that. Li Zhensheng thought about it, and gradually showed a vicious look on his face, and said: "Since I did it back then, I am naturally not afraid that they will kill me!"”
Steward Li stepped forward and said a few words. Li Zhensheng nodded again and again, asked him to do just that, and asked him to go to the temple to ask some high-ranking monks to come back with the charms that had opened the light, and pasted all the doors and windows in the backyard. Steward Li knew that he had nightmares from time to time these days, so he agreed, and secretly planned to post the doors and windows of his backyard by the way. On this day, someone came to Zhou's house, a middle-aged foreigner wearing a flower satin robe, saying that he wanted to see the brocade bag and the contents that Zhou Da picked up, and he was willing to buy it with a lot of money. The two brothers were worried about their old father's condition, saying that there was no such thing, and it was all nonsense from others. The stranger said that he had asked eight people, and all eight of them had made it clear that they would never make a mistake, and that if they took out the bracelet, they would be willing to pay twenty taels of silver. "Snort, two broken bracelets are twenty taels, who are you bluffing?"Tuesday doesn't believe there is such a good thing. Last time, he was greedy for a while, let go of his father, and made his old father suffer, but this time he can't see his intentions. Zhou Da nodded secretly, eating a trench and growing wise, his younger brother has a future. The stranger snapped out two ingots of silver: "The silver is here!.""Don't say twenty taels, I don't want thirty taels or forty taels!."Brother, right?Tuesday tugged at his brother's sleeve. Zhou Da frowned and sighed: "If it's forty taels, it's not impossible, Dad's medicine is expensive." The stranger gritted his teeth and snapped out two more ingots. Zhou Da ran into the room, brought a half-new brocade bag, and took out two ingots of silver and two small silver bracelets. The stranger picked up the silver bracelet and brocade bag and hurried away.
This person was pretended to be a manservant of the Li family, and he brought things to Li Zhensheng and Steward Li, and Li Zhensheng instantly screamed: "It's him, the clothes he was wearing at the time, you see there are still blood stains on them!."The two looked at each other, and a terrible thing came to their minds at the same time. Back then, Li Zhensheng couldn't see his father Li Yuanwai pampering the concubine and little brother, and beat the concubine to death one day when he was drunk. In order to cover up, Li Yuanwai instructed Steward Li to bury her secretly. Later, the little brother disappeared, and his father suspected that he was the one who did it again, but the Li family was left with only one son. Li Yuanwai was depressed and died of a violent illness. In fact, the little brother was really the hand of him and Steward Li, and he was buried on the edge of the broken temple in Hutou Mountain. When they heard that someone pretended to be a servant of the Li family and asked the old carpenter to make a bed, they had already begun to panic, for fear that some insider would deliberately cause trouble and then ask for money. When he heard that a big bed appeared in the ruined temple of Hutou Mountain, and the big bed disappeared strangely, Li Zhensheng began to suspect that it was not an insider, but the revenge of the two mothers and sons. Now seeing that this pair of silver bracelets was actually the silver bracelet given to him by his father when his little brother was full moon, Li Zhensheng was really scared. The master and servant thought that they couldn't sit still, their clothes were full of charms, they held peach branches, brought a big black dog, and secretly ran up to the broken temple of Hutou Mountain when the sky was about to dawn. "Right there, under that pine tree. Steward Li pointed to the place where the nightmare had appeared countless times. "Dig them up, crush them to ashes!Look at how dare they come to me!”
The subordinates started digging, and after a short time, they dug up a broken straw mat. "Li Zhensheng, Li Zhensheng—" An eerie voice suddenly sounded from the bushes, and suddenly stood up an unusually tall and thin woman, who was as tall as two ordinary people, with long hair hanging down, and her right hand pointed at them. "Wow!The subordinates were so frightened that they threw down their things and ran out. Steward Li ran the fastest, faster than the big black dog. Li Zhensheng also wanted to run, but his hands and feet were stiff, and he saw the man sneering and pulling away the weeds and weeds, and walking towards him, his head buzzed, and the whole person fainted. "This is dizzy?The strange man's clothes moved, and Zhou Da jumped down, and then a junior jumped down as well. If he had been here on Tuesday, he would have recognized that the man in front of him with a mole on his brow was the young man who claimed that Li Sheng had deceived his father. The next day, another strange incident spread quickly, the young master of the Li family, who had been missing for many years, came back and sued the eldest brother for money and murder. It turned out that Steward Li was in a panic and buried the little young master shallowly, but was met by Zhou Hai, who happened to go up the mountain to cut wood. He dug out the little young master, found that he still had a breath, and hurriedly took him to a friend who was a doctor in the town for treatment, and later gave the little young master to his relatives who had no son. The little young master grew up**, and after learning about his life experience from his adoptive parents, he discussed a plan with the old carpenter to expose Li Zhensheng's true face and seek justice for his biological mother. The big bed, which had been beaten as early as half a year ago, was pieced together one by one, and the big bed suddenly disappeared, and it was also broken into pieces and hidden in the secret hole of the broken temple. When the truth was revealed, Steward Li was imprisoned to wait for treatment, Li Zhensheng went crazy and was imprisoned in the Li family since then, and the little young master inherited the family property. "This ugly thing can't be contained, and they deserve the retribution. The old carpenter had fulfilled his wish, laughed, and closed his eyes peacefully. On Tuesday, he was with his eldest brother at the wake, and he asked if he was involved. Zhou Da didn't reply to him. The people of Zhou Village were full of emotion, and they all said that the big bed in the broken temple was the most luxurious and exquisite bed they had ever seen, but unfortunately, such a carpenter with good craftsmanship was gone.
