There is a sea outside Huilai County, which runs through the north and south. Whether it's businessmen who come here to do business or tourists who pass through the port, they all stop by.
It is said that there is a poor man in the local area, whose surname is Gao Mingshou, with the help of relatives and friends, bought a passenger boat, and since then he has served guests at sea every day. Loading guests, transporting goods, all the profitable business, he did, for several years.
One day, Gao Shou sailed to the boundary of Haikou, and a guest from Yixian County, Huizhou beckoned to him. The guest called Wu Yuanming, and wanted to go to Guangzhou Mansion to buy white rattan and agarwood.
At first, Gao Shou didn't care, just treated him as an ordinary guest. After a few brief questions, he reached out to help carry the goods.
However, in the process of moving, Gao Shou found that the box was very heavy, and said in his heart: "Since this guest is going to Guangzhou to buy goods, I want to come to this box to contain silver; And in this estimate, there must be at least seven or eight hundred taels of foundation. ”
It is said that he usually transports a lot of guests, and that person does not carry a hundred and eighty taels on him, but there are very few like Wu Yuanming. Why? The other guests brought their men with them, either employing two workers or bringing their own servants. Wu Yuanming is very strange, alone.
After closing the box, stunting the heart, and opening the oars, the passenger boat went down the river. Departing from Haikou to Guangzhou, it is not a three-day or two-day trip. The first two days were calm, and Gao Shou and Wu Yuan got along very well. But when the ship sailed to the vicinity of Chenghai, he had been trying to kill for a long time, and Gao Shou finally began to think about how to start.
Gao Shou thought to himself: "If I go in and stab him, it will be necessary, but the martial artist is tall and powerful, and he may not be an opponent; You still have to trick him out and push him into the water. ”
Wu Yuanming is a frequent business customer, and he is afraid of being plotted every time he travels, so in the past few days, he has almost stayed in the cabin and has not come out, and Gao Shou has not found a suitable opportunity.
Late at night, the moon was as bright as day, and the water and sky were colorful. Wu Yuanming snored loudly, and Gao Shou squatted on the boat with his cheeks in a daze, sighing from time to time.
At this moment, a big fish suddenly jumped out of the water and fell into the water again, scaring Gao Shou into a spirit. It is precisely because of this that the plan in my heart jumped on the paper. I only heard Gao Shou shouting at the cabin: "Come and see, come and see!" There's a big fish here, it's weird! ”
Wu Yuanming replied in a daze: "What's strange? ”
This fish has two heads! ”
Is there such a thing? I'll take a look. ”
Wu Yuanming also suddenly woke up in his sleep, forgot his precautions for a while, stretched out his head and asked, "Where is it?" ”
Before the words fell, I saw Gao Shou smashing down with a stick in his hand, and Wu Yuanming suddenly felt dizzy. Immediately afterwards, he was pushed by Gao Shou, and the whole person fell into the water.
Pity the lonely guest for thousands of miles, turned into the vast sea dust.
Excited hearts, trembling hands. Gao Shou pried open the boxes one by one to see, and sure enough, they were full of silver, which made him very happy.
After a few days, he drove the ship to Huilai, sold the passenger ship, and went to Changping Village with the silver, where he bought some land and lived a leisurely life.
Gao Shou sought the silver of the military guests, and under the introduction of the people of Changping Village, he married his local wife Li. A year later, Lee gave birth to a son named Gouda. Gao was bright since he was a child, he entered school at the age of seven, and entered the Huilai County School at the age of thirteen. Later, Gao Shou began to buy land on a large scale, built several houses, and became a local rich man.
When my son was fifteen years old, he was old enough to marry a wife. There are countless people who come to the door to ask for marriage, and Gao Shou has chosen again and again, and married the Wang family, and the Wang family is his daughter-in-law.
Seeing that his son was successful in his studies and his family was gradually becoming rich, Gao Shou began to die.
That night, Gao Shou exclaimed in a dream: "Spare my life!" Spare my life! ”
Li shook him awake and asked, "What did you dream about?" ”
Gao Shou said: "I used to sail on the sea, and once I was hit by a strong wind, and a guest from Huizhou drowned in the water and became a wandering ghost; My ten million pieces of furniture should have been his; Therefore, when I think about it every day, I am ashamed in my heart. ”
Li replied: "I never thought that my husband would have such a past. ”
I intend to invite a monk to spend time for the guests of Huizhou, what do you think? ”
Naturally it is a good thing, tomorrow I will ask people to make some vegetarian food, you go to Cining Temple to invite Wanda, Huiwang, Ruhai three ** to come home, for the guests to do three days and three nights of merit is. ”
After completing the rituals, he sent the monks back to the temple. Gao Shou went to the water's edge alone and put a few lamps, and he didn't know what to say. Who would have thought that yin and yang were afraid of ignorance, a suggestion, and a disaster.
At this time, he was as high as eighteen years old, and in the previous eighteen years, his son was more and more spiritual, and how filial and filial he was. After this ritual is done, the Gundam will be judged as if it were two people.
On the day Gundam returned from the prefectural school, he passed by an iron shop on the way, and saw that the blacksmith had made a beautiful sharp knife, so he bought it and brought it with him. When he went home to talk to his parents, he raised his knife and swung it at his father Gao Shou without warning.
If it weren't for the father and son sitting opposite each other, the knife would have stabbed into Gao Shou's chest. His mother was taken aback when she saw this, and shouted angrily: "Rebel! How dare you do that! ”
Gundam suddenly came to his senses and fell to the ground crying, claiming that he didn't know why.
After the shock, Gao Shou asked Li: "Where did our son get the knife?" Why did you kill me? I'm afraid it's not some kind of disease, right? ”
Li replied: "My son reads every day, and he becomes crazy for a long time, I am afraid that there is some kind of heart disease, so I will ask him tomorrow." ”
The next day, when Gundam returned home, Lee called him to his side and asked, "I don't think you are crazy or crazy, how dare you kill your father with a knife?" ”
When Gundam heard this, he shouted, "I swear to kill this old thief!" ”
Mother Li hurriedly came over to block it, and asked the guy to send Gundam back to the school again. Gao Shou was even more angry when he heard this, and said angrily: "Rebel! Tomorrow I must go and tell the teacher to tell you in the school, and ask him to punish you! ”
The instructor of the county school is surnamed Zou, a Confucian student, and can only chew words. When Gao Shou saw Instructor Zou, he was not polite, and said straight to the point: "My son Gundam has been behaving strangely recently, and a sharp knife is often worn on his body, and whenever my father and son meet, he will come to kill me." ”
Instructor Zou also wondered when he heard this, there have always been unfilial sons, parents sue for killing their sons, how can there be sons who kill their parents, it's strange.
After resigning from Gao Shou, Instructor Zou called Gao Gao to ask: "Since ancient times, filial piety at home and loyalty to the country; Why do you wear a sharp knife and think all the time about killing your father? Don't you know that this is a great sin against heaven? ”
Gouda replied: "How dare a student read and kill his father with a knife?" ”
Now that you know, you must be reconciled with your parents when you go home. ”
At that time, I said well, I went home and took off the knife, and everything was safe. But only three days have passed, and I don't know where to buy a knife, and I still chase my father all over the yard with a knife.
Gao Shou was annoyed and angry, pointed at his son and shouted: "I don't want such a rebel, write a letter tomorrow and send it to the house, and ask the official master to punish him!" ”
Until dawn, Gao Shou came to the house with his son. The grandfather opened the paper and looked at it, and it read:The complainant, a citizen of Huilai County, has a long life, and sued his son for killing his father. I was originally a poor peasant, and I gave birth to my son Gouda at the age of 30. Now my son is eighteen years old and studying in the county school. More than a month ago, my son was wise and courteous, and extremely filial; But I don't know what kind of epilepsy I've caused recently, and every time I have a knife to drive me to death, I won't change my teachings. begged his father to cut off the axe and punish the murderer.
After seeing it, the master asked Gao Shou: "Your son is a county student Xiucai, and he is by no means a stupid person, how can he be such an unfilial son, is it your problem?" ”
Gao Shou replied; "I'm just such a son, it's too late to love, how can it be my problem, look at my father's platform. ”
Since there is a plaintiff, I should play my cards and detain the defendant for questioning and then decide. ”
After a while, Soap Li detained Gundam in the lobby. The grandfather angrily reprimanded Gao Gao and said: "There is no punishment for the son to kill his father (no need to be punished, directly Ling Chi), do you know?" ”
Gouda asked rhetorically: "Why did the master say this?" ”
Since you are the son of a man, you do not think of filial piety, but kill your father with a sword, what is the reason? ”
Wronged! Students have studied sages since childhood, served their parents day and night, and never dared to miss the slightest. It's just that more than a month ago, my father invited the monks of Cining Temple to spend three days of sea soul. Since then, I have often chased my father with a knife, but it is like in a dream, and I can't regret it when I wake up. If this is the case, the student is willing to die. ”
Seeing this, the grandfather called Gao Shou to reason again. Gao Shou was very angry, and scolded as soon as he came up: "You rebel, the tiger and wolf still don't eat their relatives, you kill your father, heaven is intolerable!" ”
The grandfather also helped: "There are no parents in the world who are not, what are you doing, you shouldn't kill your father with a knife." ”
At this time, Gao Gao was very sober, and kowtowed again and again: "It's all caused by a small heart disorder, please blame me heavily, so that my old father can feel at ease." ”
When the words were all said and done, the master looked at Gao Shou, and Gao Shou didn't speak. Then he said: "I shouldn't have punished you, but after all, your father voted for the case, and the case was established, so I should have relieved your father's heart by beating you ten times." ”
After that, he asked the soap to come over with a stick, and hit ten boards with a "crackling". Gundam stood straight next to each other, without saying a word, and did not forget to thank the master for his teachings after the fight.
After all, Gundam is Gao Shou's own son, and watching his son be beaten, can the father not feel distressed. The soap ten boards fell, and Gao Shou hurriedly ran over to help him.
Boy! Just as the father and son were about to get up together, Gundam grabbed his father and shouted, "Get the knife and kill this old thief!" The master was really calm, and shouted "Bah", and Gundam recovered as before.
As for this, the grandfather's heart was full of doubts, and he thought: "Isn't it that the two of them have any grievances in their previous lives?" ”
Originally, the father and son of the Gao family were about to go home, but the grandfather stopped them again, and ordered someone to divide them into two prisons, intending to inquire further.
It was the third watch of the night, and the grandfather came to the Gundam prison and asked: "As a son of man, but you always want to ** father, don't you have any hatred in your previous life?" ”
Gundam said in a daze, "If you want to find out why this son killed his father, you can ask him about the two-headed fish." ”
The sun rose the next day, and the grandfather sat in the mansion and shouted: "Take Gao Shou and come over to ask!" ”
Soap Li brought Gao Shou from the prison and knelt down at the foot of the hall to ask.
The master reprimanded angrily: "You said that Gundam is your son, but in fact he is your enemy." ”
One sentence said that Gao Shou's second monk was confused', and he was busy arguing: "I lived in Changping Village for a year, married a wife Li, and gave birth to a son Gouda in another year, why did my father say that he was not my son?" ”
I said he was your enemy because of the two-headed fish! What is the truth, and still come from the truth, waiting for the punishment? ”
As soon as Gao Shou heard the words 'two-headed fish', his heart felt as if the building collapsed in an instant, and his body collapsed involuntarily on the ground.
Seeing this, the master knew that there was an injustice in it, and deliberately threw the shocking wood even louder. shouted: "How did you get your family business, tell me quickly!" ”
But seeing the old man crying, he cried: "If you go back to your father's platform, the little one should pay for his life." Twenty years ago, I was carrying passengers on a boat, and I met a guest from Huizhou, Wu Yuanming. In order to get him 800 taels of silver, I tricked him out of the cabin late at night to see the two-headed fish, and took the opportunity to push him into the water, killing the martial guest. Later, I used the 800 taels of silver to buy a field and build a house in Changping Village, marry a wife and have children, and live a stable life. ”
The grandfather asked again, "Do you know why Gundam wants to hunt you down?" ”
Ignorance. "Gundam is actually the predecessor of Takemoto. You murdered him, causing his resentment to linger for a long time, so he was born in your house. Earlier, you asked the monks to go over for him, which backfired, and that's why Gundam is sometimes normal and sometimes abnormal. ”
It was I who made the mistake first, and I blamed my son. ”
What else do you have to say about today's events? ”
The little one has nothing to say, and I should have paid for his life. May my son be safe and not have this madness again. ”
The grandfather nodded, put Gao Shou in prison, and instructed Gundam: "He is your biological father after all, and you still have to pay a good visit before the verdict is handed down; If the death penalty is imposed, the mother of the family must serve well. Gundam bowed down.
As the saying goes: Heaven has a reason, and retribution is unpleasant. Everyone has times when they are confused by reality, but if they don't do anything undesirable and are not attracted by immediate interests, how can they repay themselves?
