During the Ming Dynasty, there was a peasant household in Qi County. The head of the family is named Wang Laosan, who is very kind and never cares about others.
On this day, his wife Wang suddenly went crazy and said gibberish.
Wang Laosan didn't understand why his wife was like this, could it be that she was guilty of hysteria. So he locked Wang in the house all day long, and did not let her come into contact with outsiders.
Son Da Zhuang said to Wang Laosan: What's wrong with my mother? Daddy, think of a way.
I'll go and ask my husband tomorrow to see if it's something wrong. ”
The next day, Wang Laosan invited a gentleman from the next village, whose surname was Qian, wearing black glasses and walking on crutches to Wang Laosan's house.
He walked around the compound three times, sniffed it from house to house, and said: "Brother, your courtyard is so ruthless, especially the ghost clay statue in the courtyard.
Mr. Qian pointed to the statue in the courtyard. It turned out that Wang's father was good at picking up rags, and one winter he brought the statue at the door of someone's tomb back home.
For this matter, Wang Laosan quarreled with the Wang family a lot. But Wang thought it was nothing, just a statue made of wood, what could be the problem. And his father is in good health, and he is not sick or sick when he comes back, so Wang Laosan puts his heart in his stomach.
After more than ten years like this, it is indeed peaceful. Wang Laosan didn't care about it, he just used the statue as an ornament. Build a thatched hut in the yard so that it is not exposed to the wind and sun.
Mr. Qian, what's the problem? Wang Laosan was at a loss in his heart and asked nervously.
Mr. Qian stepped forward to worship the statue, and then said: This statue of the God of Wealth could have prospered your family in the past few years, but it .......
But what? Wang Laosan was anxious, how could this gentleman speak halfway.
Mr. Qian pointed to the bottom of the statue and said, "But ......."Vandalized. There was something buried under the idol. If you dig a foot down, there must be something, and it is an extremely yin thing. ”
When the son Da Zhuang heard this, he took a shovel and dug up the statue a few times, and sure enough, he found a package underneath, which contained things like hair.
It's ......Wang Laosan chuckled in his heart, and suddenly remembered something.
A few years ago, a few pieces of furniture were added to the house and Zhou Dayong, a carpenter from the county. In the process of doing work, Zhou Dayong asked Wang Laosan to add money. Wang Laosanxin said that the price was negotiated, how could he say that he would add it. So he rejected Zhou Dayong, and the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel.
After a few days, the carpenter's work was done. When settling the salary, Zhou Dayong said that the statue was placed in the wrong position, which was not good for the family, so he carried it with Da Zhuang and placed it in its current position.
Wang Laosan told Mr. Qian what happened, and Mr. Qian said, "I know that Zhou Dayong is not good at carrying forward his ** skills, and he curses people everywhere." Meet me this time and teach him a lesson. ”
After saying that, Mr. Qian used the bag of things to do a ritual, and after finishing it, Mr. Qian gave Wang Laosan a pill and told Wang Laosan that if that Zhou Dayong knew to repent, you would give him a pill, otherwise he would throw the pill into the river.
Three days later, Wang Laosan was enjoying the shade in the courtyard, Zhou Dayong stumbled into Wang Laosan's house, and kowtowed to the door to ask for guilt.
Brother, brother, help. Zhou Dayong snorted and cried, crying very miserably.
Dayong, does my brother pay you? ”
Not bad. "The villagers live, why do you want to harm me? ”
The ghost was confused for a while, please spare me. I ......Don't dare next time. ”
Dayong, you must remember that harming others will harm yourself. This time my brother invited not a great gentleman, the next time you meet someone who is not good at talking, people invite a great gentleman, do you still have a life? ”
After a lesson, Wang Laosan gave Zhou Dayong an elixir, and after a while, Zhou Dayong came back to his senses.
Since then, Zhou Dayong has become his duty and no longer dares to do his job as a carpenter. Wang Laosan's family is becoming more and more prosperous, and naturally there is also a credit to the statue.
