Folk Tale The beggar hears the secret conversation between the three people in the ruined temple and goes to save people single-handedly
In ancient Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, there used to be a beggar named Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu is not a native of Huating County, and his hometown was hit by severe flooding when he was 10 years old, resulting in the loss of his mother's life. The farmland was also flooded, and all the harvest was burned. In this predicament, his father took Zhao Wu to Huating County.
With nothing, they were reduced to beggars. The food that his father begged for, but he was reluctant to eat it himself, so he gave it all to Zhao Wu. However, my father later fell seriously ill and died due to lack of medical expenses. Zhao Wu buried his father on a mountain outside the county seat, and from then on, he lived alone in Huating County.
Eleven-year-old Zhao Wu walked into the county seat with a broken bowl in his hand and asked for alms. Some kind-hearted uncles and aunts saw his pity and were willing to give him more food. However, some local beggars were jealous of the lack of food they could get, and often bullied Zhao Wu, beating him, stealing the food he begged for, and even preventing him from resting in the ruined temples in the city.
Zhao Wu went to rest alone in a ruined temple outside the city, which was even more dilapidated than the temples in the city. He found some hay and spread it under the offering table, and went in to rest in the evening. One evening, when he returned to the ruined temple, he found an old beggar sleeping under the offering table.
Zhao Wu had a kind heart and did not drive the old beggar to occupy his place. When the old beggar woke up, he generously shared the food he had begged for and gave half of it to the old beggar. The old beggar noticed the injury on Zhao Wu's body and asked the reason. Zhao Wu told the old beggar about his bullying by the local beggar.
The old beggar sighed and said, "I have traveled all over the world, and I have seen too many such things. These locals are often unkind. For the next three days, Zhao Wu continued to share food with the old beggar. The old beggar noticed that Zhao Wu was kind, so he taught him a set of stick techniques in order to defend himself.
From then on, every night Zhao Wu learned the Xi stick method under the guidance of the old beggar. Three months have passed, and Zhao Wu's stick method has achieved a little. The local beggars did not dare to bully him easily. The old beggar bid farewell to the ruined temple and continued his roaming of the four seas. Zhao Wu still slept peacefully under the offering table at night.
Time passed, and Zhao Wu was already an eighteen years old. One night, he was awakened by the sudden sound of talking. Through the hole in the offering table, he saw three people standing in the ruined temple. The moonlight shone through the hole, illuminating two fierce men, who were carrying knives on their backs, and were obviously not good men.
Zhao Wu recognized one of them as Li Gongzi in the county seat. Because this Li Gongzi has studied martial arts for several years, he often bullies the weak. He heard Li Gongzi say: "Tomorrow Miss Sun is going to the temple to offer incense, and she must pass through Sanlipo, you should know what to do, right?" ”
A big man replied: "Don't worry, Li Gongzi, since we have received your money, we will deal with it properly." The three laughed and parted. Zhao Wu was alert and said to himself, "It seems that these three people plan to harm Miss Sun in Sanlipo. Sun Yuanwai is a loving person, and I must go to protect her tomorrow. ”
After Zhao Wu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep and nourish his spirits. Early the next morning, he rushed to Sanlipo alone with the stick in his hand. When I arrived, I happened to witness two fierce guys fighting with Miss Sun's family. These two evil men are strong in martial arts, and they defeated Miss Sun's family in a short time.
For some reason, the two villains did not take immediate action against Miss Sun, but waited for an opportunity. Seeing this, Zhao Wu did not hesitate, and directly rushed forward to start a fierce battle with these two evil men. The stick in his hand was as flexible as a swimming dragon, and the two villains were overwhelmed, and finally they were ** to the ground with a clever stick technique.
The family members of the Sun Mansion immediately came and used ropes to get up the two evil men. And they took them to the county office. On the way, Miss Sun's maid said to her: "This beggar master must be the destined person of Miss Sun, it seems that the fortune teller is really accurate." Miss Sun looked at Zhao Wu, and her face flushed.
Zhao Wu was a little puzzled by their conversation, and didn't quite understand what was going on. When everyone arrived at the county office, they found that Sun Yuanwai was already waiting there, and it turned out that the family had reported the matter to him in detail. In broad daylight, someone dared to be in Sanlipo**, and the county order immediately presided over the trial.
After 30 lashes, the two wicked men finally confessed everything and truthfully stated the whole story. It turned out that they were evil bandits on the rivers and lakes, hired by Li Gongzi, and planned to rob Miss Sun when she passed through Sanlipo. However, Li Gongzi, the hero who was originally planned to save the beauty, did not show up, but was replaced by a beggar master.
After investigation, it was learned that Li Gongzi was behind the planning of all this. The county order immediately sent an arrest to arrest Li Gongzi and bring him to justice.
Li Gongzi was sent to the county government by someone who supported him. The cause of the incident was that on the way to Sanlipo on horseback, Li Gongzi suddenly got frightened, causing him to fall off his horse and break his leg. When he was receiving ** in the medical hall, ** immediately arrested him. This is exactly karma, good is rewarded for good, and evil is rewarded for evil. In the end, the county decree sentenced Li Gongzi and the two bandits to be imprisoned and punished by the law.
Sun Yuanwai saw that Zhao Wu was tall, strong, and strong in martial arts, and he was really an outstanding talent. He was not only kind and loyal, but also saved people in times of need. Therefore, Sun Yuanwai decided to accept Zhao Wu as his son-in-law. Zhao Wu was originally a lonely and helpless person, but after seeing that Sun Yuanwai was willing to marry his daughter to him, he readily agreed to this happiness. Since then, Zhao Wu has had his own family and lives happily with his wife.
This story profoundly expresses a truth: those who do good will receive good rewards, and those who do evil will not escape the consequences in the end. Zhao Wu's kindness and loyalty were appreciated by the old beggar, and he was able to learn martial arts. When he learned that Miss Sun was in trouble, he did not hesitate to rush into danger and finally won the happiness of his marriage. The justice of the universe will eventually be revealed, and Li Gongzi's evil deeds of harming others will eventually lead to his own tragic end. In life, we should be kind and stay away from thoughts of hurting others.
