Original.
The surname Li in Caozhou is born in Yi. Home Surao. And the house is not very wide;There are several acres of gardens behind the house, and they are deserted.
One day, someone came to the tax house and paid a hundred gold. Lee excused himself for not having a house. He said, "Please accept it, but there is no trouble." Li didn't mean it, he accepted it, so as to see the difference. In Vietnam, the villagers saw that the family members of Yuma had entered Li's house, and they all joined forces, suspecting that Li Di had no place to settle down, and asked him. Li Shu didn't know it, but when he looked at it, there was no trace. After a few days, he came suddenly. And the clouds: "It's been a few mornings and sunsets under the shelter. Everything is hastily created, the stove is cooked, and there is no time to repair the guest ceremony. Today, I will send the little girls to be millet, and I am fortunate to look down. Li Congzhi. Then into the park, I saw that she Yuhua was good, and it was brand new. Entering the room, the furnishings are beautiful. The wine is boiling under the corridor, and the tea smoke is curling in the kitchen. Russia and wine recommended food, prepared very willingly. From time to time, I saw that there were many young people in the court. and heard the children chattering, and the sound of laughter in the curtain. There seem to be dozens of servants in the family. Li knew his fox. The banquet finally returned, with murderous intentions. Every time it enters the market, the city nitrate and sulfur, accumulating hundreds of catties, and the dark cloth garden is full. Sudden fire, flame in the sky, such as black Ganoderma lucidum, burnt ash can not be approached;But the sound of the roar is noisy. Both extinguished, into view. The dead fox is all over the ground, and those who are overwhelmed are invincible.
Fang Yue, from outside, the color was miserable, and Li said: "I have no resentment;The barren garden is reported to be 100 gold, not less;How can he endure the extinction of the Xiang clan?This tragic revenge will be avenged by all of them!"Angry. It is suspected that it is a disaster, and the rest of the year is no less weird. In the early years of Shunzhi, there were thefts in the mountains, and more than 10,000 people gathered in the mountains, and the officials could not arrest them. There are many families in life, and the day is troubled and chaotic. A star in the suitable village, self-named "Nanshan Weng", said that people are to blame, if you witness it, you will be famous. Li summoned to his home and begged to push Jiazi. Weng was stunned and respected, and said, "This Allah too!"Li Wen was shocked and thought it was delusional. Weng Zhengrong was adamant. Li was suspicious. Nai said: "How can anyone be ordered by the emperor with his white hands?"Weng said: "No." Since ancient times, emperors have been like many people, who is born as the son of heaven?"If you are confused, please come to the table. Weng resolutely took "Wolong" as his own responsibility. Please prepare thousands of armor and thousands of bows and crossbows. Li is worried about the return of people. Weng said: "Please connect the mountains for the king, and they are deeply connected." The person who makes the uproar is called the true son of heaven of the king, and the sergeant of the mountain should respond. "Li Xi, send Weng Xing. Hair Tibetan skull, make armor. Weng returned it a few days ago, and said: "Borrowing the king's blessing, Jiachen's three-inch tongue, the mountains are not willing to whip the pen, from the play." ”
In the middle of the day, thousands of people returned to their fate. So Bai On was the military advisor;Build a big Xu, set up a colorful banner Ruolin;According to the mountain fence, the momentum is shaking. Yi Ling led his troops to begg, and Weng commanded the group to break it. Fearful, anxious. The Yan soldiers arrived from afar, and Weng attacked in ambush, and the soldiers were greatly defeated, and many soldiers were killed and wounded. The momentum is shaking, and the party is tens of thousands, because of self-reliance as the "King of Nine Mountains". Weng suffered from a small number of horses, and the capital was relieved to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and a brigade was sent to usurp it. It is the name of "King of Nine Mountains". Gaon is the "Great General of the Protector of the Country". Lying on the mountain nest, he is openly conceited, thinking that the addition of the yellow robe will be just around the corner. Dongfu to seize the horse, the party will enter the suppression;He also got retribution, but sent thousands of elite soldiers to encircle and advance with the six roads. The military marches are full of flags, filling the valley. The "King of the Nine Mountains" was terrified, and he summoned Weng to seek it, but he didn't know where to go. The "King of Nine Mountains" was extremely embarrassed and unskilled, climbed the mountain and looked at it and said: "Now I know that the momentum of the imperial court is great!.""The mountain is broken, captured, and the wife and children are killed. The first Wu Weng is the old fox, and the Gai Yi clan is exterminated to report Li Ye.
Yi Shi said: "The lady hugs his wife, and the head of the department is closed, where can I kill?"Even if you kill, why do you want to do it?The fox's plan is also ingenious. And the soil has no seeds, although irrigation does not grow;He killed the remnants of the fox, and the square inch has been stolen, so the fox has to grow its sprout and give reward. Today, the passerby told him, 'You are the Son of Heaven!''There is no one who goes away without being frightened. Ming Ming Dao thought that the clan was wiped out, and he was happy to listen to it, and his wife was killed, so what was the cloud?However, when people hear the words, they first get angry, then they doubt, and then they believe;Until the name of the body is lost, and the beginning of the realization of its mistake is also likely. ”
Translations. There was a scholar surnamed Li in Caozhou Mansion, and his family was very wealthy, but his residence was not spacious. There was a garden of a few acres behind the house, which had been deserted.
One day an old man came to rent his house, and he was willing to pay a hundred taels of silver for rent. Li Sheng refused him on the grounds that there was no extra house. The old man said to Li Sheng: "Please rest assured to accept the rent, don't worry." Li Sheng didn't know what he meant, so he took the rent for the time being and saw what was going on.
One day later, the people in the village saw that there were chariots and horses and their families entering the gate of the Li family, and they all raised their voices, as if there were many people. Everyone suspects that the Li family's house is not big, how can so many people live?Some came to ask Li Gongzi, but Li didn't know anything about it. I went home and looked at it, but there was no sign or movement.
A few days later, the old man who rented the house suddenly came to visit and said to Li Sheng: "It's been a few days since I moved to your mansion, everything has to be rearranged, I have to cook in a pot, and I have to sleep in a bunk, and I haven't had time to visit my master." Today, I asked the little girl to make a light meal, please be sure to enjoy the light and sit down. Li Gongzi immediately followed the old man to the banquet.
As soon as I walked into the garden behind his house, I suddenly saw a lot of houses, very gorgeous, all newly built. Entering the main room, the furnishings in the room are also beautiful. The wine was boiling under the porch, and the smoke from the tea stove was billowing up from the kitchen. As soon as I sat down for a while, I was served with wine and food, all of which were delicacies from the mountains and seas. I often saw young people coming and going outside the door, and I heard young men and women talking deafly, laughter and laughter, and there were more than 100 family members and slaves. Li Gongzi already understood in his heart that this family was a fox.
Li Sheng finished drinking and returned to his room, secretly murderous in his heart. Every time he went to the market, he bought some sulfur and miscanthus salt, accumulated hundreds of catties, and secretly covered the back garden. When he had set it up, it was suddenly lit, and suddenly the garden was full of flames, and the smoke was billowing and burning to the point that it was unpleasant. The sound of the foxes screaming was earth-shattering and noisy. It burned for a while before the fire went out. When I entered the garden, I saw that the garden was full of burned foxes, and there were countless of them.
Li Sheng was inspecting the room, and the old man came in from outside, his face was full of misery, and he blamed Li Gongzi and said: "I have no enmity with you in the long days, and I have no hatred in the near future, and I rent your deserted garden for a hundred taels of silver as rent, which is worthy of you." How can you bear to burn my whole family!This strange hatred, how can there be a reason not to repay it!After saying that, he went away angrily. Li was afraid that they would retaliate, so he strengthened his precautions. But for more than a year, there was no movement.
In the early years of Shunzhi, there were a group of thieves in the mountains, gathering more than 10,000 people, and the officers and soldiers could not exterminate them. Li Sheng worries every day because of the wealth of his family, and he is afraid that thieves will come down the mountain to rob. When he was in trouble, a fortune teller came to the village, calling himself "Nanshan Weng", calculating the fate of people's life and death, fortune and fortune, as he saw it himself. Instant fame. Li Gongzi also invited him to come to the house to tell the fortune, and as soon as the fortune teller entered the house, he was in awe and exclaimed: "Allah is also at the foot!"Li Gongzi was taken aback when he heard this, thinking that this was nonsense. The fortune teller solemnly insisted on this. Li Gongzi was skeptical and said to the fortune teller: "How can anyone become an emperor from scratch?"The fortune teller said, "No!."Since ancient times, many emperors and monarchs were born as horses, and who was born as the Son of Heaven?Li Gongzi was still skeptical, but he respected the fortune teller and invited him to sit down.
The fortune teller actually called himself "Wolong". It is proposed to prepare thousands of sets of armor and thousands of pairs of bows and arrows. Li Gongzi was worried that he would not be able to recruit people to come, and the fortune teller said: "The minister is willing to unite the people of the mountains for the king, make an alliance, and proclaim the king as the true dragon son of heaven, and the generals and soldiers in the mountains will inevitably come to respond." Li Gongzi was very happy, so he asked his husband to go according to the plan. He took all the money he had in his possession, made armor, bought bows and arrows, and prepared for the uprising. After a few days, the fortune teller said, "With the blessing of the king, and my incorruptible tongue, there is no one who does not want to be under your command." Sure enough, within ten days, thousands of people were coming. So Li Gongzi worshipped the fortune teller as a military advisor, set up a big banner, set up a five-color flag, occupied the mountain, and built a wall, which was a big momentum. The county officials brought troops to suppress them, and the fortune teller commanded the soldiers and horses, and the officers and soldiers were defeated. The county magistrate was scared and reported to the governor of Yanzhou.
The Yanzhou soldiers came to crusade from afar, and the fortune teller commanded the men and horses to ambush them, and defeated the Yanzhou soldiers in one fell swoop. Since then, Li Gongzi's momentum has become even greater, and the number of people has reached more than 10,000. Li Gongzi established himself as the "King of Nine Mountains". The fortune teller was worried about the lack of horses, and planned to send a soldier to rob the military horses that were sent to Jiangnan in the capital. So the "King of Nine Mountains" shocked the world and crowned the fortune teller as the "General Protector".
From then on, Li Gongzi sat back and was very conceited on the mountain, thinking that the day when the yellow robe would be crowned king and emperor was not far off. Unexpectedly, Dongfu was already preparing to attack them because of the seizure of the horse;Later, when he got the report of the defeat of Yanzhou, he gathered six soldiers and horses, thousands of elite soldiers, and suppressed the "King of Nine Mountains". At this time people shouted and horses barked, and they were all over the valley. The "King of the Nine Mountains" was shocked and called for a fortune teller to discuss countermeasures, but he was gone. The "King of the Nine Mountains" was helpless, he climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at it, and sighed: "I only learned today that the power of the imperial court is so great!."”
Soon, the officers and soldiers broke through the cottage, Li Gongzi was captured, and his wife and the whole family were killed. Only then did he understand that the fortune teller was the old fox back then, and it turned out that he killed Li Gongzi to avenge his extermination of the clan back then.
Yi Shi said: "That person hugged his wife, closed the door and was bareheaded, ** will be killed?."Even if they are killed, how can they be exterminated?The fox's plan is clever enough. But there are no seeds in the soil, and even watering will not produce seedlings;That man killed the fox cruelly, and the heart field already had the root of stealing, so the fox was able to sprout and grow and retaliate against him. Now he grabbed the passer-by and told him'You are the Son of Heaven!'There's nothing that doesn't scare away. obviously induced him to do the work of exterminating the clan, and he was willing to listen to it, his wife and children were killed, what is the way?However, when people listen to absurd words, they begin to hear anger, and then they are puzzled, and they continue to listen to it, and they believe it, until they are ruined, and they know that they are wrong, which is roughly similar to this story. ”
Appreciation of works. This **, judging from the author's subjective creative intention, has the aspect of persuading people not to make trouble, promoting the prestige of the imperial court, and preaching for feudal rule;There is also the idea of causal reincarnation that persuades people to be good, and good and evil always have retribution. However, the objective meaning of the image of the work goes far beyond this subjective intention, thus showing the condemnation and punishment of viciousness and cruelty, and the praise and yearning for good. Use the old revenge story mode to continue a theme that is always new. The consistency of the theme of this kind of work puts forward higher requirements for the writer's artistic conception.
The story uses the fox spirit to transform into a rented house, so that the two protagonists of the work are connected. Renting Li Sheng's house with 100 gold, in fact, renting his family's deserted back garden, although Lao Suo's family is nearly 100 people, but it did not bring any inconvenience to the Li family, they moved and built a house, "there is no trace", so that Li Sheng is unconscious. As soon as he settled in a hurry, Lao Suo came to pay respects and invite him, polite and thoughtful, "There are few human beings who are so thoughtful" (Feng Zhenluan's comment). The feast is rich, "very willing". Li Sheng did not feel his virtue in this regard, but "had a murderous heart", bought back hundreds of catties of nitrate and sulfur from the market, and "burst into flames", which caused a laughing family to be wiped out at once. It is no wonder that the old fox swore "with a miserable color": "The tragic revenge is avenged." ”
Li Sheng's viciousness and cruelty are linked to his selfishness and greed, he got the old fox's 100 gold rent, and killed him, in the troubled times, he was just worried about his own mouth. It was this selfish and cruel personality that determined that he only hesitated for a moment when the star was tempted by "Allah", and thus embarked on the road of relying on the mountains and proclaiming himself the "King of the Nine Mountains". In the end, it was the annihilation of the imperial court, not so much the "fire of the imperial court", but rather the result of the rapid expansion of his selfish desires and evil thoughts, and the world's unrest was an opportunity for him to take advantage of. When he learns that he is paying the price for his evil deeds, it is too late to regret it. This is the defeat of an arrogant person, and it is the destruction of a malevolent person.
In terms of artistic technique, the writer uses the contrast method to highlight the key scenes. The old fox family, in an environment without quarrel with others, lives peacefully and peacefully, "full of laughter and laughter". "The wine is boiling under the corridor, and the tea smoke is in the kitchen", which is hospitable and ancient. This kind of peaceful and happy family was burned down by the vicious Li Sheng, "but when I heard the sound of the sound of the roar, it was noisy and deafening", what a tragic and painful cry. The tragic scene of "dead foxes all over the ground, anxious people, incalculable" is unbearable, and Li Sheng has to come to "read" in person to see his masterpiece, which can be described as cruel.
