During the Shaosheng period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the area of Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River was dry for several years. In mid-July, the hot sun baked the earth, and the crops in the fields had begun to turn yellow and wither. The villagers work hard every day, praying that God will give them a good harvest.
On this day, an eighteen-year-old young man walked alone on a mountain road. He was dressed in a white robe, with a long sword at his waist, and the vermilion paint on the scabbard had peeled off a little, and the cold light inside could be faintly visible. This young man is Zhu Chuhuan, the talent of the village, who has just won the first place in the county examination and is going home to visit his relatives with great ambition.
Hey, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to be admitted to the show, and I had to work harder. Zhu Chu happily muttered to himself.
Just as he was sighing, a terrible scream suddenly came from ahead, interrupting his thoughts. Zhu Chuhuanxi hurriedly ran over to check, only to see a teenage girl lying in the bushes, her right leg was caught in an iron trap, moaning in pain.
Help me! Anyone? The little girl wiped her tears and cried for help.
Zhu Chu Huanxi hurriedly stepped forward to check, carefully opened the trap, and rescued her. "Are you alright? He asked with concern.
The little girl held back her tears and shook her head: "My leg hurts so much...
Zhu Chuhuan checked her injured leg, although there were some abrasions, but it was not a big problem: "Don't be afraid, it's not a fracture, I'll take you to a nearby farmhouse to have a look." ”
Two. Zhu Chu happily picked up the little girl and walked to a house not far away. Uncle Li, the owner of the house, enthusiastically let the two into the house to rest. It turned out that the little girl's name was Bai Jasmine, the daughter of the Li family, and she secretly ran to the mountains to play today, and accidentally fell into a trap set by Orion in order to chase a little rabbit.
Thank you to this young man for saving my daughter's life! Uncle Li said gratefully.
Zhu Chu waved his hand happily and said, "This is what I should do, you are too polite." ”
Uncle Li asked Zhu Chuxi to rest in the house for a while, and invited him to drink a bowl of home-brewed rice wine. Zhu Chu thanked Uncle Li happily, looked at the sun slanting west, it was time to return.
Then I take my leave, you and Jasmine should be safe. ”
Young people walk slowly, our village welcomes you at any time! ”
Three. Zhu Chu happily continued to embark on the journey home. Cicadas and birds are already chirping in the woods, and the evening wind blows a little cooler.
Suddenly, a beast cry sounded from the side of the road, and Zhu Chuhuan hurriedly went over to check. I saw an injured female fox lying in the grass by the roadside, followed by a small fox, whimpering sadly.
You're hurt! Let me see. Zhu Chuhuan whispered happily, carefully checking the female fox's injuries. I saw that its hind legs were caught in a trap and shed a lot of blood.
Zhu Chuhuan's heart was full of pity, and he carried the mother and son to a quiet cave in the forest, and carefully bandaged them.
After a few days of treatment, the female fox's injuries gradually improved, and she was able to stand up and walk a few steps.
Thank you for your help, it is difficult for us and the fox clan to repay your kindness. The healed female fox said to Zhu Chuhuan.
Zhu Chu was overjoyed and surprised, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It is a person's duty to save the dead and help the wounded, you don't have to thank me." ”
The mother fox nodded, the little fox wagged her tail and said goodbye to Zhu Chu happily, and the two foxes disappeared into the forest from the mouth of the cave.
Four. Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Zhu Chuhuanxi was under the careful guidance of his teacher Li Yifei, and finally won the title at the age of twenty-eight. Now he has married Bai Jasmine, and the two of them have opened a small restaurant in Hangzhou to make a living.
On this day, an uninvited guest came to the restaurant. The man was pale, dressed in black, and had gloomy eyes.
Are you Zhu Chu Huanxi? I've been looking for you for a long time, and you can't run away today! As soon as he saw Zhu Chuhuan, he smiled cruelly.
Zhu Chuhuanxi was puzzled, the man suddenly turned into a huge white dragon, it turned out to be the little fox that Zhu Chuhuanxi saved ten years ago, and it turned into a white dragon to repay the favor!
You saved me back then, and I've always wanted to find a chance to repay you! The white dragon spoke.
Everyone was stunned, and Zhu Chu was happy that he suddenly realized that all kinds of things had been made up of karma back then. The white dragon circled over the restaurant, then turned into a white light and rushed into the sky, disappearing without a trace.
Five. Since then, Zhu Chu has lived a prosperous life in his hometown. He often gave alms, helped the poor, and was loved by the villagers.
One day, two farmers were working in the fields and chatted about the story of the great benefactor Zhu Chuhuan.
Zhu Chu is happy to have today, it is really thanks to the good deeds that year repaid the help. Uncle Li said with emotion.
Yes, he saved the little fox's life back then, and later Hualong repaid him. Heaven is good, but harming others will end up harming oneself. Uncle Zhang said.
The two laughed and continued to work, thanking Zhu Chuhuanxi for the happy life that he brought to the villagers.
Six. One day, Zhu Chuhuanxi suddenly received an urgent letter, saying that his mentor Li Yifei was suddenly critically ill and wanted to see him for the last time. Zhu Chu was overjoyed and immediately rushed back to the teacher's house overnight.
When he arrived at Li's house, seeing that the teacher was already dying, Zhu Chu was overjoyed and heartbroken.
Teacher, cheer up, I'll treat you! ”
Li Yifei shook his head weakly: "I'm getting old, and I still have to go the way I should go." It's my sin that you're late...
Teacher, what do you say, without you, I wouldn't be where I am today! ”
Ahem... When I die, I want you to take care of my mother, who is not in good health, and only you can heal her. This is the last request of the old man ...
After speaking, Li Yifei swallowed his last breath and passed away with his soul. Zhu Chu cried bitterly and gently closed the teacher's eyes.
According to the teacher's last wish, Zhu Chu Huanxi began to take care of the teacher's mother. But a few days later, Li's mother also died of illness, and Zhu Chu frowned happily, full of doubts.
Late that night, Zhu Chu was mourning in silence in the courtyard, and suddenly, two foxes appeared in front of him.
We are the mother and son fox you rescued back then, and we are here to tell you the truth. ”
It turned out that Li Yifei's sudden serious illness was caused by the resentful spirit that possessed him many years ago, which caused his mother to also be involved in death.
Zhu Chu suddenly realized that he was determined to avenge his wife.
The next day, Zhu Chu happily came to a deserted temple in the back mountain. I saw a gust of wind in the temple, and a cloud of black smoke swirling on the incense case.
Give back the lives of my teacher and wife! Zhu Chu shouted happily, drew his long sword and struck at the black smoke.
I heard a terrible scream, and the black smoke suddenly dispersed. It turned out that this resentful spirit was finally gone.
Afterwards, Zhu Chu happily built a large-scale ancestral hall next to the former residence of the Li family to worship the gods of the teacher and the mother. The villagers also came to burn incense to remember the virtues of their teacher.
Since then, Zhu Chuhuan has inherited the teacher's will and practiced medicine in the local area, spreading his medical skills. As a result, the villagers' lives became rich and peaceful.
One day, Zhu Chuhuanxi sat alone in front of the ancestral hall, meditating on the teacher's tablet.
Teacher, I will definitely inherit your medical ethics and benefit more people. ”
The teacher's tablet on the shrine seemed to emit a glimmer of light, and Zhu Chuhuan's heart was full of peace and comfort.
This is the story of Zhu Chuhuan's reciprocal return to the demon and slaying the demon. The kindness of the teacher, he remembered for the rest of his life; He removed the evil deeds of demons with his sword.
This legend tells us that good and evil have their own retribution, but justice triumphs. Let us cherish the memory of our ancestors, inherit the beauty, and create a harmonious society together. Folk mythological tales
