Folk Tale The poor boy denounced the God of Wealth and vented his grievances about poverty!
A long, long time ago, there was a young man named Ushino Garden, who lived with his mother. The family was poor, and the ancestors left only a few old houses and nothing. Despite this, Ushinoting has hope in his heart, believing that as long as he is willing to work hard and rely on his hands, he can create a better life.
At first, Ushinowa made a living by chopping wood, and planned to save a little capital through hard work, and then use this capital to start a small business, gradually accumulate wealth, and let his mother enjoy a happy life.
Life has shown no mercy to him. He was strong and worked hard every day to chop firewood and carry it to the bazaar**. After working hard for more than half a year, he accumulated more than 300 coins. However, due to overwork, he suddenly fell ill with a cold. In desperation, he had to recuperate at home, spending most of his savings for medical treatment. When he recovered, there were not many of the original 300 coins left.
This experience made Niu Yeting deeply realize that if he is too anxious, his body is the most valuable capital, and he must not be excessively consumed. So, he adjusted his strategy and only chopped one load of firewood a day. After more than three years of perseverance, he finally accumulated more than a thousand coins.
With the capital of more than 1,000 coins, Ushinoba began to devote himself to small business. Knowing that flour was in high demand in the county, he hired an ox cart and bought a large amount of flour to sell in the county. However, there was a sudden rainstorm on the way, and there was nowhere to hide from the rain in the wilderness, and the flour was all soaked and turned into a mess, which was lost along the water, and there was no return.
After this setback, Ushinoba was not discouraged, he returned to chopping wood to earn a living, and after more than three years of hard work, he once again accumulated more than 1,000 coins and started a small business.
This time, Ushinowa purchased a large amount of rice, rented a boat, and prepared to sell it to the county town by water. However, as ill as fate would have it, a once-in-a-century storm hit the way, the ship capsized, and all the rice sank to the bottom of the river. He and the boatman were lucky enough to be pushed to the shore by the wind and waves while holding the plank, barely saving their lives.
Niu Yeting returned home discouraged, and the old mother sighed and said, "Maybe you need to go to the Temple of Wealth to burn incense and make a wish to change your fate." So, Niu Yeting bought incense and candle offerings and went to the Temple of Wealth.
On the way, a startled horse suddenly rushed in, and Niu Yeting hurriedly dodged, but slipped on a stone, and threw the incense and candle offerings in his hand far away, falling to pieces. Although he was angry, he didn't have any money on him, so he had to walk into the Temple of Wealth empty-handed.
In the God of Wealth Temple, four gods of wealth are solemnly worshipped, namely the God of Wealth Bigan, Fan Li, Zhao Gongming and Guan Gong. There are many pilgrims in the temple, and they sincerely kneel in front of the statue of the god of wealth, praying for wealth.
Niu Yeting stood in front of the statue, thinking back on his rough experience, and his heart was full of resentment. He pointed to the statue of Bigan and said angrily: "You are indifferent, your reputation for fairness and selflessness is so untrustworthy that you are not worthy of being the god of wealth at all." ”
The pilgrims next to them saw that Niu Yeting was so arrogant, and they all avoided it from a distance. He pointed to Fan Li's statue again, and said indignantly: "For the so-called national plan, you actually sacrificed your beloved woman Xi Shi, you are really a ruthless and unrighteous person, how can you be qualified to become the God of Wealth?"”
Miaozhu heard the scolding and hurried to dissuade him, but was pushed away by Niu Yeting. He pointed to the statue of Guan Gong again, and scolded angrily: "You stubborn and self-serving guy, you carelessly lost Jingzhou, I'm sorry for the trust of my eldest brother, you are really a sinner through the ages, how can you deserve to enjoy the sacrifice of future generations?"”
After scolding, Niu Yeting felt much more comfortable, stepped out of the temple gate, and walked away. The pilgrims were talking and pointing at his back. A bold pilgrim persuaded: "Are you not afraid of attracting the revenge of the God of Wealth by insulting the God of Wealth like this?"Niu Yeting said angrily: "As long as they can make my life passable, I am not afraid of their revenge." ”
In the dead of night, the lights in the temple of the God of Wealth are brilliant, and the four gods of wealth reveal their true bodies, gather together, and complain. Bigan roared angrily: "Yangye Pavilion is really unreasonable, it is so rude and infuriates me!".”
Guan Gong was indignant: "I Guan Mou has a heroic life, and I am admired by thousands of people, but I was belittled by Yangye Pavilion's words, which is really intolerable." If you can step on the red rabbit horse, wield the green dragon glaive, and take its head, you can calm the anger in your heart. ”
Zhao Gongming said angrily: "Wow, yes, he provoked me so much that I smoked. Why don't you come with me and capture this kid and give him a few hundred lashes to teach him a good lesson. "Anyway, I want to ride the black tiger.
Fan Li quickly stopped: "Everyone, don't be impatient, be cautious." As the God of Wealth, we have no right to take his life. Moreover, at this moment, Yangye Pavilion is already impoverished and cannot experience the pain of losing his wealth. If the teacher asks for sin, it will only arouse his hatred of us even more. But I have a plan to convince them and make them pleasing and pandering. ”
Everyone quickly asked about the strategy, Fan Li talked eloquently, and everyone agreed and decided to give it a try.
That night, Zhao Gongming rode a black tiger and brought the soul of Yangye Pavilion into the Temple of Wealth. The four gods of wealth condescended and began to reprimand Yang Yeting for not insulting them, and declared that they would reclaim their wealth.
Yangye Pavilion was so frightened that he begged for mercy again and again, blaming himself for having no beads, and begging the gods of wealth for forgiveness. Desperately kowtowed, blood suddenly overflowed from his head. Fan Li stopped him and announced: "In view of your sincerity, we will give you two choices, one is to return the wealth, and the other is to serve us for life until the end of life." "Yonotei expressed his willingness to become a slave.
From then on, every night after Yangye Pavilion fell asleep, his soul returned to the God of Wealth Temple to listen to the order and serve the God of Wealth for two hours. Yangye Pavilion's attitude is extremely respectful and has no complaints.
One day, Fan Li had an abscess on his foot, and the pain was unbearable. After learning about it, Yang Yeting took off Fan Li's shoes, hugged his feet, lowered his head and sucked pus with his mouth, looking intoxicated, making the other three gods of wealth stunned.
After Yangye Pavilion left, Bigan sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect that wealth would change a person's nature. Fan Li said with a smile: "The poor have hard bones because they have nothing to lose, while the rich have weak bones because they have become slaves to wealth, and they have lost their former selves." In order to keep their wealth, they are willing to give everything, and they have long lost their integrity. ”
The other three gods of wealth gave a thumbs up and praised Fan Li for his wisdom and profundity, and he saw through human nature!
