In a farmer's house in Tangjia Village during the Sui Dynasty period, Guo was embroidering. She looked at her sleeping son and seemed to be worried.
My husband has come back very late every day recently. He refused to say what he was busy with.
"You don't understand even if you say it, just take care of the children!"
The husband Dong Wu is a boatman. He makes money by carrying passengers in the river on weekdays. He works very hard.
Although the family of three was not rich, they could barely make a living, but their son has recently become ill, which has made the family worse.
The doctor said that if his son wants to recover, he needs at least 100 taels of silver.
The couple got up early and worked late, and they also wanted to cure their children's illness as soon as possible.
Last month, my husband went home and said, "I found a good job, and after the matter was done, I can get 100 taels of silver."
From that day on, my husband seemed very mysterious, which made Guo very worried.
After Dong Wu returned home that day, he looked extremely panicked and his whole body was trembling.
Guo asked quickly: "What's wrong with you?"
Dong Wu said nothing, and he kept shaking his head.
It was from that day that something was wrong with Dong Wu. He often thought about something and sometimes even talked to himself.
But Dong Wu will still go out to work at night, and even rain is no exception.
Guo felt that her husband's abnormality was related to the work he did, so he followed her husband quietly.
Mr. Guo came to the riverside and saw her husband ferrying, and a group of people were sitting on the boat.
After waiting for about two hours, Dong Wu came back. This time they brought many boxes. As for what was in the box, she didn't know.
I heard someone say, "You'll come here tomorrow, don't mislead our affairs."
Guo quickly ran home. She didn't know what the group of people did, but her intuition told her that there must be something strange about it.
When Dong Wu came back, Guo told him what he had followed.
Dong Wu's face changed. He quickly closed the door and lowered his voice and said, "If the news leaked, our whole family would all die!"
Ku did not expect the matter to be so serious. She quickly said to her husband, "Tell me what happened, let's discuss it."
Ku is a wise woman, and she relies on her to arrange it at home and outside. Dong Wu felt that he might really come up with a solution after telling his wife.
So he told his wife in a singular way that this incident directly changed the fate of the family.
The son was in poor health, so he thought of finding a profitable job in the city to supplement his family income.
There was no gain for several days, which made Dong Wu feel very frustrated. He came to a noodle restaurant to eat noodles.
As I was eating, I heard two people at the next table chatting, as if they were going to do something.
One of them said, "It's a pity that I can't ferry, otherwise I'll get a reward of 100 taels after the matter is done."
Dong Wu is a boatman, and he can do this job, so he asked them.
The man told him who he was going to look for, and Dong Wuhuan went happily.
When he arrived, he saw a tall and mighty man and introduced him to his situation.
The man looked up and down, then nodded, and then he also made a request.
"You work with us and must keep it confidential, and even your family cannot tell you."
"You can only get the money in two months. If someone knows about this, you can't get a copper ." Although the conditions are a little harsh, I am still moved when I think of the 100 taels of silver.
Dong Wu takes them to the other side of the river every day, and wait for an hour before taking them back.
They bring a few boxes every day, and Dong Wu doesn't look at anything or asks anything.
Until one day, they lifted a bag. At first, the bag was still moving, but later there was a faint sound of breathing inside.
Dong Wu can be sure that there is a person inside. If someone hits him with a stick, the person will not move.
Dong Wu has never seen this scene. He was so scared that he couldn't even hold the oars.
The man on the boat pulled him over and said viciously: "If you dare to say a word about this matter, I will beat you to death."
"And you do whatever we ask you to do. If you don't cooperate, you will not have any good results."
Seeing the man's fierce appearance, Dong Wu nodded repeatedly, and he was very upset. Why did he get on the pirate ship in a confused manner?
The days after
he tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night, afraid that the group of people would kill him, and even more afraid that he would implicate his wife and children.
After listening to her husband's story, Guo fell into deep thought. After a while, she said, "Let's move quickly, the faster the better."
Guo believes that as long as they stay away from here, their family will naturally be without danger.
On the second day, the couple packed their luggage and prepared to leave the place, and their son Dong Qi was waiting there.
After the couple took their son away from the village in a carriage. On the way, Dong Qi suddenly cried and made a fuss.
Guo said, "I didn't take my son's little Trojan horse, what should I do?"
Dong Wu discussed, "When I arrive at my new home, my father will buy you new toys."
Dong Qi cried and said, "I want my little Trojan."
This little Trojan was made by Dong Wu himself, and it was very exquisitely made, and Dong Qi couldn't put it down.
Dong Qi has been growing up with the company of a Trojan horse since he was a child. He can't sleep if he doesn't see the Trojan horse.
Seeing the child crying so hard that he was out of breath, the couple planned to return to get it the same way.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Dong Wu was going to go alone, but Guo was worried.
She said, "Let's go together, if something happens, there will be a discussion."
So the couple asked Dong Qi to wait in the carriage, and they went to their home in the village.
Dong Qi waited for a long time but his parents didn't come back. He was a little scared and couldn't help crying.
At this time, the villagers rushed over and took him off the carriage. The villagers couldn't help but shed tears when they looked at the young children.
"All honest and honest people, how could they encounter such a disaster?"
As soon as the couple arrived at home, a group of people came to kill them, and then the group of people ran away.
Dong Qi looked at his parents' bodies, and although he was ignorant, he couldn't help crying.
"Dad, mom, get up and see me!"
No matter how Dong Qi cried, his parents couldn't wake up, and the little Trojan he made for him disappeared.
There is no care from parents, Dong Qi grew up by eating Hundred Family Meals . Fortunately, the villagers are all kind people.
When he grew up, Dong Qi came to the city and he had to find the murderer who killed his parents.
He found Captain Xing and asked about what happened back then.
Catcher Xing said: "There was indeed a group of thieves back then. They specialized in stealing wealthy families."
"Your father was the boatman for them. He must have seen something, so that group of people wanted to kill him to silence him."
Catcher Xing was also very sorry. The case has not been solved for so many years, and I don't know when the truth will be revealed.
Dong Qi is now a small worker in a furniture shop, and he lives a very poor life.
On this day, Song Yuanwai in the city found the shop owner. His daughter was about to get married and he wanted to make furniture for his daughter.
Song Yuanwai said: "You should go to our mansion. We can discuss the price."
The boss asked the carpenter to take Dong Qi to Song Yuanwai's house. Dong Qi would not have thought that many unexpected things would happen here.
He was working in the yard when he suddenly heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside the house.
A woman said, "I won't marry him. He eats, drinks, and plays, and is ignorant. If I marry him, isn't it equivalent to pushing me into the fire pit?"
At this time, Song Yuanwai's voice came again: "Feng Youcai's family has money, you can marry him to enjoy your happiness!"
The two of them became more and more fierce, and finally Song Yuanwai walked out in anger.
He didn't expect someone outside the house, so he shouted, "No matter what you look at, you can do it for me, otherwise I won't give you a tael of silver!"
Dong Qi sighed. It seems that this wealthy family is not so good, even the father and daughter are making blood for their own interests.
At night, Dong Qi couldn't sleep and came to the garden for a walk. Suddenly he heard a woman crying.
Dong Qi hurried forward to check it out, but he didn't expect it to be Ruqian, the daughter of Song Yuanwai.
Ruqian also felt bitter. When she saw someone coming, she started to complain no matter who it was.
It turns out that Ru Qian is not Song Yuanwai's daughter, and the twists and turns are not worth telling outsiders.
Ruqian's father Zhang Fugui saved up a huge family business by starting from scratch.
When Ruqian was young, she was a real daughter. She was loved by her parents and had the best food, clothing and expenses.
One day, Zhang Fugui brought back a man, and this person was Song Yuanwai.
The two of them had a great time chatting, and Mr. Song also lived at his house for a while. After
, Song Yuanwai said that he wanted to do a big business and left. Not long after he left, he encountered a group of bandits at his home.
Zhang Fugui unfortunately passed away, leaving only an orphan and widowed mother in the family.
Later, Song Yuanwai came back, and he didn't know how to marry her mother home.
Whenever she asked her mother the reason, her mother wanted to speak out but stopped, and eventually her mother died of depression.
Now, in order to do business, Song Yuanwai actually wants to marry him to a playboy.
Ruqian cried and said, "If I marry him, it would be better to let me die."
Although Dong Qi sympathized with her, he could not protect himself and could not help Ruqian.
All he can do is chat with Ruqian frequently, hoping that she will not be so sad.
After a while, the two of them became familiar with each other. Both young people developed a good impression of each other, but neither of them said it.
Because they all know that the difference between the two people is too huge, one is that they have no freedom and the other has no money.
They were chatting in the garden again at night when they suddenly heard the cries of some animals outside the door.
When the two opened the door, they found that they were injured elk .
Although I don’t understand why the elk came to the place where humans live, two people immediately helped it treat the wound when they saw it. After bandaging the wound, Dong Qi escorted the elk back to the forest.
. The two of them didn't care about this matter. Before they knew it, Ru Qian was about to marry the playboy.
Ruqian said, "If I marry him, I may die soon."
When he heard Ruqian say this, Dong Qi was very sad. He could not let his beloved suffer, so he wanted to take her away.
Dong Qi inherited his father's mantle and he had rowed since he was a child.
So he rented a boat and planned to take Ruqian away. Just as the boat was rowing, Mr. Song came with his people.
Just as he was about to catch up, Dong Qi suddenly jumped off the boat and said to Ru Qian, "I'll stop them. The water flow is not urgent, just let the boat follow the water flow."
Dong Qi said reluctantly: "If you are destined, we will definitely meet again!"
When Song Yuanwai caught up with them, Dong Qi fought with those people desperately. When he saw Ru Qian walking away, he smiled happily.
Song Yuanwai was so angry that he immediately sent Dong Qi to prison and tortured him to confess, asking him to tell Ru Qian's whereabouts.
Don’t say he doesn’t know, even if he knows, he will never tell Mr. Song.
At the beginning, Song Yuanwai also wanted to find Ruqian, but after a long time, he no longer persisted, and Dong Qi was released.
The reason why Song Yuanwai asked Ru Qian to marry that playboy was just because their family had money.
Song Yuanwai suffered a loss in his business. If he had no money, he would probably sleep on the street.
He originally wanted to borrow money from the playboy's family through Ruqian, but now all these wishes have been ruined.
The servants in the mansion were panic. They were afraid that the servants would fall down and their wages would not be settled. Many servants secretly took things from the mansion.
And Dong Qi also saw this scene. He was glad that he sent Ruqian away, otherwise he would not know what he would have squeezed into by Song Yuanwai.
The city has not been peaceful recently. Two days ago, a rich family encountered bandits, and their family lost a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
Just as Dong Qi was about to leave, he saw something falling from his servant's hand.
Dong Qi ran over and picked it up. Isn’t this the little Trojan he lost back then?
Dong Qi asked: "Where did you come from this Trojan? Who are you?"
The servant was frightened and he quickly explained that he found it from the warehouse of Song Yuanwai's house. Seeing the exquisite workmanship, he wanted to take it back for his son to play with.
Dong Qi's parents died because they were looking for this little Trojan horse.
The little Trojan horse was lost, and it must have been taken away by the murderer. Now that he appears in Song Yuanwai's mansion, he is very suspicious.
Dong Qi found Captain Xing, and he expressed his suspicions.
Catcher Xing slapped the table, and he said, "So many people lost money, and it also involved two lives. Now the murderer has finally appeared."
At night, Dong Qi and Captain Xing kept squatting in Yuan Song's service. Sure enough, Song Yuanwai slipped out of the mansion in the middle of the night.
Although he was covering his face, Dong Qi still recognized him at a glance, and the two of them followed Song Yuanwai quietly.
Not long after, Mr. Song climbed over the wall and entered a family. When he came out, he had an extra burden in his hand.
The two of them said that it was almost time for a while, and they immediately stepped forward to catch Song Yuanwai.
Song Yuanwai was imprisoned in prison, which made Dong Qi very pleased.
Dong Qi returned to his hometown and told his parents the good news. Seeing that his house was in disrepair, he planned to repair it.
But he couldn't get busy, so he hired a carpenter to work with him.
Not long after the carpenter came, he felt dizzy and coughing, and his health was not as good as before.
That day he went to fetch water, but he didn't expect that the elk he had saved came to report to him.
"That carpenter is not right, you should be careful, it is best not to let him approach you."
Since the elk told him about this, Dong Qi has cared for him very much.
He found that there was a strange fragrance on the carpenter's body, which was very unusual.
Dong Qi then knocked the carpenter out and sent it to the government office. Sure enough, the problem was found.
Song Yuanwai is still not honest in prison. He feels that Dong Qi is the one who is what he is today.
Although he is a bad person, he has a loyal subordinate who has been in love with Song Yuanwai before.
Song Yuanwai asked his subordinates to find a way to kill Dong Qi, and just as Dong Qi was looking for a carpenter, the subordinate successfully came to Dong Qi.
subordinates applied the medicine to their clothes. If someone smelled it for too long, then the person may have lost his life.
is why Dong Qi experiences dizziness and other symptoms. Fortunately, there is a reminder from the elk, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
After Song Yuanwai's plan failed, he also told all the bad things he had done.
Song Yuanwai is a thief. He led a group of people to make a living by stealing things.
However, for a while, the government investigated it strictly, so they had to move their positions.
In order not to arouse suspicion, they chose to commit crimes across the river, so they hired Dong Wu to row a boat for them.
Later they made a lot of money, so they planned to kill Dong Wu to avoid leaking the news.
They came to Dong Wu's house and lost. Just as they were about to leave, Dong Wu and his wife actually came back.
Song Yuanwai killed both of them without saying a word. Before leaving, he saw the Trojan horse exquisitely crafted, so he picked it up and planned to give it to his nephew to play.
Later he forgot about this and the Trojan horse kept in the warehouse.
As for Ruqian's father Zhang Fugui, he also killed him, and later he forced her mother to marry him with Ruqian's life.
In this way, Song Yuanwai openly inherited Zhang Fugui's property. Such a person is extremely hateful.
Song Yuanwai was sentenced to beheading and he was punished as he deserved.
At this time, Ruqian also rushed over. It turned out that she had a serious illness, which wasted a lot of time.
After she recovered, she came to find Dong Qi, and the two of them finally got married with their lovers.
Dong Qi lived a happy and comfortable life from then on until he lived to the age of 100.
Summary: There must be brave men under the heavy money of , but 80% will not be a good thing, and some prices are unbearable.
Don’t put yourself in danger because of a little money. Think twice before doing things.
Things in the world are unpredictable and think more, and don’t be moved no matter how much money you have. Sow good causes and good results, and you will be rewarded if you do bad things.
