The white fox repays the favor, folklore
Known for its high peaks and dense forests, this land is very rich in products. In the villages near the mountains, people rely mainly on the resources of the mountains and forests for their livelihoods, such as hunting, cutting firewood and collecting herbs.
Xu Changsheng's family lives under this mountain, and although their lives are not rich, they are full of happiness about life. However, fate does not always favor the good-natured.
One afternoon in June of the 15th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Changsheng's mother, Li Shi, was accidentally stung by a wild bee while collecting medicine in the mountains. In order to give her **, Xu Changsheng and his father Xu Laohan sold everything that could be sold in the family.
Although Li's life was finally preserved, the Xu family was not rich in the first place, and now it is even worse, and they are even more destitute. Seeing that Xu Changsheng was about to turn twenty years old, but he hadn't married a wife yet, Li Shi couldn't help but hold his hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Son, my mother used all your bride price money, so that you can't even marry your daughter-in-law, my mother is sorry for you." ”
Xu Changsheng comforted Li Shi and told her that she could earn more money, but there was only one mother, and she had to avoid saying such hurtful words. Xu Laohan decided to go to the city with Xu Changsheng to find a job, pay off the debt as soon as possible, and make his heart feel at ease.
Xu Changsheng said that he would go into the city to find a more powerful Lang Middle School doctor, instead of just half a bottle of water like Hu Changshun. Xu Laohan was a little unhappy about this, thinking that Xu Changsheng's wings were stiff and he didn't want to be controlled by him anymore.
Xu Laohan emphasized that he would not earn bride price money for Xu Changsheng until the debt was paid off, and if he didn't work hard, he might be beaten as a single.
Dad, I will try to raise money for my daughter-in-law, so you don't have to worry about me anymore. Xu Changsheng made up his mind to study medicine, but the persuasion of Li and Xu Laohan had no effect.
Xu Laohan was angry because of this, and he took his tools and went into the city early the next morning. Xu Changsheng then also entered the city, he only found a few acquaintances and asked, and learned that there was an old man named Yuan Huai'an in the north of the city, who had very superb medical skills, but he was very stingy, and he asked for at least ten taels of silver for apprentices.
Although this threshold is very high, Xu Changsheng did not give up. He found the Huai'an small hospital in the north of the city, and saw that Yuan Huai'an was taking the pulse of the patient, and the store was full of patients.
When Xu Changsheng saw this, he immediately decided to worship Yuan Huai'an as his teacher. He waited from noon to Shen Shi in the afternoon, waiting for the patient in the store, hurriedly walked to Yuan Huai'an, hugged his fists respectfully, and said: "Hello sir, I heard that you have excellent medical skills, and I saw you today, and it really deserves your name." ”
Yuan Huaian squinted at him, and said with a smile: "Boy, you have been waiting until now, presumably you didn't wait until now to pat my ass, right?" ”
When Xu Changsheng heard this, he admired Yuan Huai'an's intelligence even more, and said bluntly: "I really didn't wait until now to pat your ass, I just want to worship you as a teacher and learn medical skills from you." ”
He immediately knelt and kowtowed. Yuan Huaian squinted at him again, and snorted coldly: "Do you think that if you kowtow to me three times, I will accept you casually?" I ask you, you asked me to study medicine, did you know my rules? ”
Xu Changsheng nodded: "I know, it costs at least ten taels of silver for apprenticeship." Yuan Huai'an's medicine grabbing buddy Zhang Fugui sneered and said, "Then your apprenticeship fee is **?"
Xu Changsheng frowned and said, "I don't have it yet, but when I learn medical skills in the future and earn money, I can pay it back." ”
Wait until you earn money in the future and pay it back? Then we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey? You kid, you're really a fool's dream! Yuan Huaian couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Fugui took the opportunity to interject: "Shopkeeper, I think this kid is here to make trouble, I'll blast him out!" Yuan Huaian waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Fugui to stop, he thought to himself in his heart: "Although this kid is naïve, he has no loss of ambition, and he is not bad." ”
So he said to Xu Changsheng: "It's not a way for you to kneel like this, it's better to do this, you tell me, you really want to study medicine, I can teach you some basic knowledge." ”
After Xu Changsheng heard this, he kowtowed to Yuan Huai'an gratefully, and then began to study. He would come to the hospital every day to observe Yuan Huai'an's diagnosis and treatment process, imitate his methods, and gradually, his medical skills also improved.
However, Yuan Huaian is not so easy to deceive. He quickly saw through Xu Changsheng's intentions, but instead of getting angry, he appreciated Xu Changsheng's determination and perseverance.
He said to Xu Changsheng: "I appreciate that you have this heart, but medical skills cannot be learned overnight, it takes time to accumulate and experience, and you need to study more deeply." ”
After Xu Changsheng heard this, he studied harder, and his medical skills got better and better, and he was finally recognized by Yuan Huai'an and became his **. This story teaches us that with determination and perseverance, anything is possible.
At the same time, it also tells us that learning any skill requires time and experience.
What a reality! Yuan Huaian is not only stingy and greedy for money, but also has a very small heart. He thought that Zhang Fugui's worries were not superfluous, so he asked this kid to drive Xu Changsheng out of the hospital.
Xu Changsheng couldn't observe Yuan Huai'an and the patient's every move up close, so he had to stand outside the medical hall and peek and eavesdrop. After staying in the city for a few days, the dry food on his body had already been eaten, and in order to avoid starvation, every afternoon, after the hospital closed, Xu Changsheng would go around begging for food.
One afternoon, when Yuan Huai'an came out of the hospital and walked home, he happened to see Xu Changsheng begging along the street, his heart trembled, so he stepped forward and said, "You are already like this, and you still want me to take you as an apprentice for free?"
Stop dreaming! Go home early, I won't be touched by you. "I didn't dream, I just wanted to wait until I earn money in the future, and then double my husband back." ”
Xu Changsheng hurriedly clenched his fists and said. Yuan Huaian deliberately flicked his sleeves angrily and said, "Who knows if you will die or live in the future?" Anyway, I won't see any cash, and I won't take you as a disciple. ”
After speaking, he entered his own compound, and Xu Changsheng was still begging for food. Of course, at the end of this kind of mountain, he does not miss any opportunity to work, as long as someone is willing to pay, he will do what he can without violating morality.
After a month like this, most of the people in the north of the city knew this kid. Many kind-hearted people either gave him food or clothes, which made Xu Changsheng very moved, and he secretly decided: In the future, he must repay these people well.
One day, a wealthy man in the countryside came in a carriage to invite Yuan Huai'an to see his father's illness. Because of the rich man's generosity, he personally drove to invite him, and Yuan Huaian made an exception to carry the medicine box and go with the car.
This rich man's name is Zhou Bo, and like Yuan Huai'an, he is both stingy and greedy for money. If it weren't for the fact that his father still had a secret hidden in his mouth, he wouldn't have spent a lot of money to come to the city to ask Yuan Huaian to see a doctor.
Xu Changsheng knew Zhou Bo, and expected that after Yuan Huai'an saw the doctor, Zhou Bo would not send him back to the city in a carriage. So after Yuan Huai'an left, Xu Changsheng hurried back to the village, borrowed a donkey from the villager, Uncle Niu, and waited for him outside the gate of Zhou's house.
Sure enough, at noon, Yuan Huai'an gave a prescription after seeing his illness, but Zhou Bo gave an eviction order and asked him to walk back by himself. There are still dozens of miles from Zhou's house to the county seat, and Yuan Huaian was still carrying a medicine box at that time, and rushing down like this seemed to kill him.
Just when Yuan Huai'an was crying and scolding the rich man Zhou for being ruthless and unjust, Xu Changsheng appeared, and the donkey he borrowed was stopping in front of Yuan Huai'an. Yuan Huai'an glared at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"
Are you stalking me? "It's not like this, Mr. Yuan, my home is not far from here, I know that this rich man Zhou will not send you back to the city, so I came back and borrowed a donkey to wait here, and I hope that Mr. will not dislike it." ”
Xu Changsheng bowed and said respectfully. Yuan Huai'an's eyes were a little moist, but he still said with a straight face: "Do you think that in this way, I will be moved and make an exception to accept you as an apprentice?" ”
I didn't think that much, I just wanted to help you. Xu Changsheng replied honestly. Yuan Huaian nodded and expressed his approval: "Although you are very poor, your personality is very noble. ”
After speaking, he was about to step on the donkey's back, but was stopped by Xu Changsheng, who proposed that he could carry the medicine box and lead the donkey rope. Yuan Huaian did not refuse, and handed over the medicine box to Xu Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng happily led the donkey rope, carried the medicine box on his back, and walked in the direction of the county seat. Yuan Huai'an was worried that he would stay in the hospital, so he reminded him that it was voluntary and that he would not be taken as an apprentice for free.
Xu Changsheng agreed, and promised that he would not lie in the hospital. After arriving at the medical hall, Xu Changsheng returned the medicine box to Yuan Huai'an, and then planned to return to the countryside to return the donkey. Yuan Huai'an suggested that he could stay in the city for one night and leave tomorrow morning, but Xu Changsheng insisted on returning the donkey today, and he thanked Yuan Huai'an and left.
Yuan Huaian looked at Xu Changsheng's back and felt very moved, but he didn't change his decision, and the next morning, he still didn't let Xu Changsheng enter the door.
This is a story about a healer. Xu Changsheng fainted after standing outside for a long time, Zhang Fugui offered to drag him to the entrance of the vegetable market, but Yuan Huaian stood up to check Xu Changsheng's condition and told him to come into the house and drink some water.
Yuan Huai'an fed Xu Changsheng a homemade fever pill, and soon after, Xu Changsheng woke up and thanked Yuan Huai'an for saving his life. Xu Changsheng told them that he wanted to study secretly outside the hospital because he wanted to help those who were sick because he couldn't afford to see a doctor.
He hopes that through his efforts, more people can afford to see a doctor, no longer lose their family and money because of medical treatment, and no longer lose their lives because they have no money to see a doctor.
Yuan Huai'an was amazed by Xu Changsheng's talent and decided to take him as an apprentice and teach him medical skills for free. Xu Changsheng was grateful, studied diligently every day and helped in the medical center. Zhang Fugui also gradually became friendly with him.
Yuan Huaian deeply felt that Xu Changsheng was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, so he did his best to teach him. Three years later, Xu Changsheng became an excellent doctor. However, Yuan Huai'an began to feel that Xu Changsheng's medical skills threatened him, so he urged him to become a teacher.
Xu Changsheng promised to double the tuition fee after earning money, and left the city. Back in the countryside, he treated the villagers for free and quickly earned the title of "Doctor Xu".
Xu Changsheng carried the medicine box on his back and planned to practice medicine in Liulinba. Walking to the boar ridge, he suddenly heard a terrible scream from the forest, as if it came from some animal. Xu Changsheng was kind-hearted and immediately went to find out.
When he found the voice of **, he found that a white fox was caught in the hunter's trap and could not move, and was howling in despair at this time. Fortunately, the hunter has not yet appeared.
Xu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said softly to the white fox: "I am Langzhong, I can save you." You don't scream anymore and don't move, okay? The white fox seemed to understand his words and stopped wailing.
Xu Changsheng carefully removed the trap on the white fox's leg, and then applied healing medicine to the wound. After completing this, Xu Changsheng was still a little worried, so he said to the white fox again: "Your wound needs to be rubbed at least three times to heal, but I won't pass through here again in the next two days."
If you can understand what I say, you will wait for me tomorrow evening by the natural pool at the foot of Qinglin Mountain. The white fox seemed to understand, barked twice, and then limped into the jungle.
In the evening of the next day, Xu Changsheng arrived at the waterhole and was surprised to find that the white fox was already waiting for him. It's so spiritual! Xu Changsheng bent down, gently stroked the white fox's head, and then applied it a medicine to heal its injuries.
In order to express his gratitude, the white fox kept licking Xu Changsheng's trouser legs with his tongue. A few days later, the white fox's leg regained its health, and he also caught a hare and sent it to Xu's house. Xu Changsheng couldn't bear to eat them, so he deliberately saved three of them and sent them to the city to give them to Yuan Huai'an.
In the evening of that day, the white fox sent another hare to Xu Changsheng, and then pulled his trouser legs and dragged them all the way to the tomb mountain west of Zhoujiazhuang. "Where are you taking me? ”
Xu Changsheng was confused, and when he followed the white fox to the tomb mountain west of Zhoujiazhuang, it was already dark and gloomy all around. Although Xu Changsheng didn't believe in the existence of ghosts, he still felt scared when he looked at the rows of graves.
The white fox led Xu Changsheng to a newly built tomb, and the tombstone was engraved with the words "Tomb of the Beloved Daughter Zhou Ling'er", and the inscription was "Father Zhou Bo". When Xu Changsheng saw this scene, he secretly sighed in his heart, Zhou Ling'er looked like a flower and jade, but she was buried in the loess so early, it was really a trick.
But why did the white fox take him to Zhou Ling'er's grave? Xu Changsheng was puzzled in his heart, only to see the white fox wave his front paws and begin to dig the rammed earth on the grave pile. He looked at the white fox and felt even more confused, but the white fox turned his head and grabbed his trouser leg with his mouth, motioning for him to help as well.
Xu Changsheng finally reacted and began to dig the soil with the white fox. They dug for hours, and in the middle of the night, the moon hung high in the branches, and a yellow wooden coffin finally emerged from the earth.
When the white fox saw the coffin, he immediately lifted the lid of the coffin with his paws. Xu Changsheng wondered in his heart, could it be that this white fox asked him to steal the treasure? He thought that Miss Zhou's family was dead this time, but the white fox was so spiritual, let him help, could it be that this white fox was going to bring him to save people?
Just when Xu Changsheng was puzzled, there was a muffled sound of "dong dong" in the coffin. Xu Changsheng was shocked in his heart, he was shocked and suspicious, shouldn't there be a dead person in the coffin?
How can it make a sound? The white fox's intentions are even more obvious, did he lead Xu Changsheng to save people? The new copy can be written like this: "The white fox led Xu Changsheng to a new grave, and the tombstone was engraved with the words 'Tomb of the beloved daughter Zhou Ling'er', and the inscription was 'Father Zhou Bo'."
Xu Changsheng secretly sighed in his heart, Zhou Ling'er looked like a flower and jade, but she was buried in the loess so early, it was really a trick. But why did the white fox take him to Zhou Ling'er's grave?
Xu Changsheng was puzzled in his heart, and watched the white fox wave his front paws and begin to dig the rammed earth on the grave pile.

Xu Changsheng was a timid ordinary person, and one day he accidentally discovered an ancient tomb in the mountains. Curious, he opened the lid of the coffin, only to find a beautiful woman lying inside.
After the woman woke up, she told Xu Changsheng that she had a strange disease, and she couldn't afford to get sick and was buried in the mountain by her family. Xu Changsheng decided to save her, took her home, and after feeding her medicine, she miraculously **.
The woman was grateful to Xu Changsheng, expressed her willingness to marry him, and hoped that he would go to a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Who says good people don't have good rewards? This sentence was confirmed by Xu Changsheng. He was originally an ordinary person, but because of a small act of kindness, he unexpectedly got a beautiful wife.
In the face of the poverty of the Xu family, the rich man of Zhou resolutely disagreed with this family business at first, but at the critical moment, the help of the white fox made the rich man of Zhou change his mind. As a result, Xu Changsheng and Zhou Linger were able to get married, and they lived a loving life after marriage.
Xu Changsheng opened a pharmacy with the help of the Zhou family, although he didn't make much money, but he made small profits but quick turnover, and his reputation gradually spread, and finally he soared. After having wealth, he did not forget to be grateful and repay the help he had made, which can really be described as a good person with good rewards.
