During the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a family surnamed Zhang living on the edge of the town, with only two mothers and sons, and the son made a living by killing pigs and selling meat, and his life was passable. Zhang's father died early, and it was his mother who brought him up with hard work. In order to make a living, he worshipped Zheng Tu as a teacher at the age of 15, and began to find a way out at the age of 18, setting up a stall selling meat in the town.
The butcher, surnamed Zhang, is now 21 years old and has been selling pork for three years. He has already set a woman surnamed Wang as his wife, but the Wang family has found a fortune teller to tell his fortune, and his daughter can only marry after the age of 20, and the woman is only 19 years old now, and the two families are scheduled to get married the year after tomorrow.
In the evening of this day, the surnamed Zhang went to the countryside to buy pigs, and when he drove a big black pig back, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded, blowing him to the ground, and the big black pig was frightened and had already run away without a trace.
Nearby villagers rushed over to check and found that the butcher surnamed Zhang was seriously injured and not yet dead, so several people carried him home with wooden planks. As soon as he walked on the avenue, he was confronted by a speeding carriage, which happened to crash into the wooden plank, and instead of hurting everyone, it flattened the head of the surnamed Zhang, and died instantly.
It was a merchant who was driving the carriage, because of the delay on the road, and now he hurried on the road, to the town in front of him to stay, and suddenly saw several people walking out of the roadside, and hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse, and finally crashed into it.
The merchant parked the carriage on the side of the road, stepped down from the carriage to check, and everyone was explaining, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a group of people rushed from afar, and everyone was shocked and quickly dodged away. The horses trampled over the corpse of the surnamed Zhang, and when the horses passed, people came forward to check that the one surnamed Zhang had become a mess of flesh.
This group of men and horses was the cavalry of the nearby military camp, and when they came back from training, they thought that it was getting late and there was no one on the avenue, so they urged the horses to run happily, but they didn't expect that something had happened.
People carried the surname Zhang to the house, and his mother Wu fainted immediately. The woman in the neighborhood hurriedly pinched her, and she woke up and vomited a mouthful of blood. The merchant took out 100 taels of silver for the burial expenses, the military camp compensated 500 taels of silver, and relatives and friends carried the surname Zhang to the mountain and buried it.
Wu saw his son die so tragically, he had a breath in his chest, and he scolded the heavens and the earth at home all day long, cursing the gods, and scolding them for not being long-sighted, and his son was very filial to him, but he killed a filial son, and died so miserably, he suffered three times.
On this day, Wu was complaining again, and suddenly a voice sounded, "My mother, you can't complain, it's my butcher brother who deserves to die." Wu Shi looked over, and it turned out to be her big rooster who had been raising it for 5 years.
The reason why the big rooster called her Enniang was because it was saved from the fox's mouth by Wu. One day 5 years ago, Wu was digging wild vegetables in the mountains, and suddenly a fox came running over, holding a chick in his mouth, and he didn't know whose family it was, and the chick was still calling desperately.
Wu flew up the shovel and smashed it at the fox, who was so frightened that he left the chicks and fled into the woods. Wu found that the chicks were intact, so he took them home and raised them. Now she heard the big rooster say that her son should die, and she couldn't help but scold the big rooster. The big rooster said: "Enniang, don't worry, I'll tell you in detail." ”
It turned out that the butcher surnamed Zhang did not learn well, and before killing the pig, he poured a stomach of water on the pig, and after killing the pig, he also poured water into the pork. He was smart enough to make a homemade water filler out of a bamboo tube. Therefore, the surname Zhang is a butcher who has lost his conscience, and he dares to do anything for the sake of money.
That's not all, if the pork is not sold out for a few days and stinks, the surnamed Zhang will clean the pork, put it in an oil pan and fry it, and sell it as braised pork, or sauce and sauce, and sell it as sauce meat. The meat has spoiled, and many people have diarrhea after eating it, and three people have died of illness because of it.
Speaking of this, the big rooster said: "Enniang, my brother has annoyed God, so he died of thunder, because considering that you have no one to support the elderly, you didn't die all at once, just to get some pension money for you in the last two accidents." ”
Wu didn't know what his son was doing, and now when he heard the big rooster say this, he was speechless and no longer complained. This silver was enough for her to support her in old age, and after more than ten years, she was too sick to get out of bed, or the big turned into a young man and served her for the last few days.
To be a man, you still have to be kind, be afraid, don't do things that deceive your heart in the dark, you must know that God is clear and will never let go of a heinous person. 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.
