Cowherd boy Wang Tieniu, Ming Dynasty , was born in Yueqing County, Luzhou Prefecture. His parents were farmers with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky. There were three brothers in the family. He was the fourth eldest brother. Because his family was poor, he lived a very good life. It's hard.
When Wang Tieniu was 6 years old, many people starved to death due to a drought in his hometown. Therefore, his parents decided to sell one of their children in order to prevent them from starving to death.
However, his mother looked left and right, unable to make a decision. After all, the palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh! I can’t bear to part with any of them!
In desperation, Wang Tieniu's father had no choice but to call several children together.
said to them seriously: "Children, you are an incompetent father. Now there is a famine in your hometown. I am unable to raise you. Now I can only sell one of you to maintain this family. So, who are you?" If you are willing to make sacrifices, just take a step forward!"
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw these children, look at me, look at you, no one took a step forward, after all, who is willing? Being sold?
At this moment, Wang Tieniu saw his three brothers taking a step back, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Then, Wang Tieniu, who was only 6 years old, suddenly straightened his back, took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Mom, dad, don't be embarrassed, just sell me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw His mother immediately hugged Wang Tieniu and cried bitterly.
In this way, 6-year-old Wang Tieniu was sold to Zhang Yuanwai by his parents.
However, because Wang Tieniu was young and could not do heavy work, Zhang Yuanwai had to let him follow other children to herd cattle in the mountains.
However, what is strange is that other children ride on the back of the cows when they herd them.
As a result, when Wang Tieniu arrived, he would just follow the cow and giggle. When others asked him why, he would not speak and would just giggle.
After a long time, everyone thought there was something wrong with his brain and no one wanted to play with him.
When Wang Tieniu saw this, he was not angry. He actually moved to the cowshed to sleep, making his body smell so bad every day that he could smell it from far away.
Just like that, time is like running water, and 10 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and these cowherd boys have all become 16-year-old boys.
This morning, Zhang Yuanwai called them together and asked them to go to the fields to work together. After all, we can't let them stay at home and have nothing to do!
Unexpectedly, when Wang Tieniu just walked over, he immediately heard someone yelling at him: "Boy, don't stand with us, you stink too much."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was booing, Continuously yelling curses at him.
After Zhang Yuanwai saw this, he felt helpless and had no choice but to let Wang Tieniu continue herding cattle.
Just like that, spring passed and autumn came, and another two years passed in the blink of an eye. Now Wang Tieniu is 18 years old and has grown into a handsome boy.
That evening, Wang Tieniu came back from herding cattle in the mountains as usual.
However, what surprised him was that when he just walked into Zhang's mansion, he suddenly saw the servants in the mansion standing cautiously in the courtyard, as if something was about to happen.
Seeing this, Wang Tieniu was very curious.
So, he quietly found a maid and said with a smile: "Sister Hehua, what happened in the mansion? Why are everyone gathered here?" When the maid heard this, she immediately looked around and whispered to He said: "Tieniu, please keep your voice down. I heard that the young master has contracted a strange disease and is now unconscious. Now Zhang Yuanwai has called several doctors, but there is still nothing to do, so everyone is waiting here to take precautions." Unexpected."
When Wang Tieniu heard this, he immediately had an idea, so he secretly broke the window paper and looked inside. After a while, he quietly returned to the cowshed.
About two hours later, Wang Tieniu suddenly heard loud crying in the distance, which shocked him.
He exclaimed: "No, something happened!"
Then, without saying a word, he broke into Zhang Yuanwai's room and saw a woman holding a child and crying.
So, he hurriedly shouted: "Madam, stop crying, your son is still alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room was shocked, with incredible expressions on their faces, looking at Wang Tieniu .
At this moment, Zhang Yuanwai suddenly became angry, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Wang Tieniu, don't mess around here, get out of here."
Unexpectedly, Wang Tieniu looked at him strangely, and then said : "The young master is pampered every day and is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. This is because he got angry and injured his lungs.
Didn't the young master have a foul odor in his mouth recently? His urine is red and yellow? This means he has injured his liver..."
Wang Tieniu kept talking. After a pause, Zhang Yuanwai and the others were stunned.
After a while, Zhang Yuanwai hurriedly shouted: "Can you really save my son?"
"Master, now that we have reached this point, then I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor." !" After
finished speaking, Wang Tieniu walked forward without saying a word. After a moment, he lifted the young master's quilt, hugged him and ran into the cowshed.
Afterwards, Wang Tieniu immediately threw the young master into the cow dung.
After a while, the young master was woken up by the smell on the ground, and then he was so frightened that he yelled inside.
When Zhang Yuanwai saw it outside, he became angry instantly. So he grabbed Wang Tieniu's neck and shouted to him coldly: "Boy, are you going to kill my son?"
"Master, you If you want to save your son, then let me go and wait here. If I can't save the young master, I am willing to pay for it with my own life." After
finished speaking, Wang Tieniu looked at him coldly.
As a result, Zhang Yuanwai was frightened by his aura, and he slowly let go of his hand, and then sat aside honestly.
After about a stick of incense, the young master’s voice disappeared.
So Wang Tieniu walked directly in, picked up the young master, came to the well, and washed him with clean water.
After a while, I saw red pimples all over the young master's body. When Wang Tieniu saw it, he immediately found a needle and pricked them one by one. Then some yellow water flowed out, and he let out bursts of evil. Stink.
Half an hour later, when Wang Tieniu had dealt with all the red acne, the young master's stomach suddenly made a gurgling sound.
Then, he raised his head and shouted: "Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat roast chicken." Upon hearing this, Mrs.
was immediately overjoyed and hurried to the kitchen to prepare.
However, when Zhang Yuanwai saw this situation, he immediately took Wang Tieniu back to the hall.
At this time, Zhang Yuanwai said with a serious face: "Wang Tieniu, you have been herding cows in my house, how did you learn such superb medical skills?"
"Return to the master, I am in the cowshed," Wang Tieniu blinked. After a while, he replied with a smile.
"This is impossible. Is there anything fishy in the bullpen?" Zhang Yuanwai said in surprise.
"Mr. Zhang, please come with me."
After finishing speaking, Wang Tieniu led Zhang Yuanwai to the bullpen.
After a while, when they walked into the cowshed, Wang Tieniu walked into a corner and took off a blue brick from the wall, and saw a ray of light shining over him instantly.
When Zhang Yuanwai saw it, he was stunned for a moment. Then he lay down in the hole in the wall and took a look. He was instantly stunned.
It turns out that there is a medical clinic opposite. In the past ten years, Wang Tieniu would lie here every day when he came back from herding cattle and watch the doctor opposite treating people. After a long time, he naturally learned some difficult and complex problems. disease.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanwai took a deep look at Wang Tieniu and thought: It seems that this guy is not stupid! Until I was kept in the dark.
Then, Zhang Yuanwai snorted coldly, then raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a strange smile.
I saw him smiling and saying: "Tianniu! Now that you have saved my son's life, what reward do you want?" When Wang Tieniu heard this, he knew that this guy had bad intentions and wanted to plot against him.
So, he thought about it seriously and said with a serious face: "I don't want anything, I just want my personal contract, and I hope you can agree to it."
Zhang Yuanwai was originally a profit-seeking person, but now that he heard Wang Tieniu How can I run away?
So, he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Tieniu! Logically speaking, you saved my son, and I should agree to your request. However, you have spent more than ten years It was my place to eat and live in. In the end, I secretly learned medical skills in the cowshed, so I was very embarrassed!" When Wang Tieniu heard this, he was instantly angry. He knew that this old guy was not safe. You have good intentions, but you are trying to take advantage of the situation!
Afterwards, he calmed down, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to him: "I understand what you mean, just say it! What do you want from me to return the deed of betrayal to me?"
Voice As soon as he landed, Zhang Yuanwai narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Boy, you are very good and wise. Now that we have talked about everything to this point.
Then I won't hide it from you. "Recently, I heard that Magistrate Zhang is seriously ill and cannot be saved by traditional Chinese medicine. If you can cure it, I will let you go." When Wang Tieniu heard this, he knew that this was Zhang Yuanwai's trick. For the sake of his own freedom, he reluctantly agreed.
The next morning, Wang Tieniu bit the bullet and went directly to Magistrate Zhang’s house.
Unexpectedly, when he just walked into the hall, he suddenly saw Magistrate Zhang staring at him seriously. There were two large iron boxes beside him.
What shocked him was that one of the boxes contained 1,000 taels of silver, but the other box was empty, which was a bit strange.
At this time, Magistrate Zhang said coldly: "You must be Wang Tieniu! I heard from Yuanwai Zhang that you can cure my strange disease, but you have to think carefully. If you dare to lie to me, there will be no room here." When Wang Tieniu heard this, he was instantly frightened, but he was also a stubborn person.
So he said with a serious face: "Sir, I am willing to give it a try. If not, let me do whatever you want."
After finishing speaking, Wang Tieniu walked forward without saying a word and took Magistrate Zhang's pulse. .
After half an hour, Wang Tieniu's face turned pale and he was sweating profusely.
Afterwards, Wang Tieniu felt certain and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, you don't have any illness, it's just a mental illness."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air seemed to be still, without any sound.
After a while, Magistrate Zhang suddenly burst out laughing, and then patted Wang Tieniu on the shoulder.
Smiled and said to him: "Boy, you are very brave! But you are right."
Afterwards, Magistrate Zhang told him everything on his mind.
It turns out that the thing is like this. There was a locust plague in Yueqing County recently, and many people starved to death, so the imperial court distributed a batch of food for disaster relief.
However, when County Magistrate Zhang distributed the grain to towns and villages in various places, he did not expect that these people secretly exchanged moldy rice for good rice when transporting the grain, causing some victims to eat it. , all became seriously ill and died.
When Magistrate Zhang learned about this, he was naturally furious. However, when he investigated the matter thoroughly, he found no evidence to correct these corrupt people.
In desperation, Magistrate Zhang Yousi became mentally ill.
At this time, Wang Tieniu thought about it seriously, and suddenly said with a smile: "Sir, this matter is easy to handle, you just need to put a raw egg into each bag of rice and seal it.
County Magistrate Zhang didn't know why when he heard this, and then he said with a puzzled face: "Tianniu! What's the use of putting an egg here!"
Wang Tieniu explained with a smile: "Look, sir, under normal circumstances, this raw egg As long as you put it in the rice, it will not break. However, as long as you put the rice secretly, the raw eggs will break under pressure.
Therefore, when checking the grain, you only need to see broken eggs inside. You will know who stole the grain."
When Magistrate Zhang heard this, his eyes lit up and he burst into laughter. Then, he directly appointed Wang Tieniu as the grain inspection officer to be responsible for this matter.
Just like that, three days later, because of Wang Tieniu's good plan, Magistrate Zhang actually caught six corrupt township officials and beheaded them on the spot in order to scare the monkeys.
From now on, no one will dare to commit crimes!
However, because Wang Tieniu's strategy blocked some people's financial path, these people found some bandits and wanted to assassinate Wang Tieniu.
That night, Wang Tieniu was sleeping at home when he suddenly heard a loud bang and woke up. Then, he saw a group of bandits kicking open the door and trying to kill Wang Tieniu with a machete.
When Wang Tieniu saw it, he was so frightened that he shouted: "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"
Unexpectedly, the bandit said disdainfully: "Boy, you have blocked some people's way of making money, so suffer death!"
said After that, the bandits rushed over with big knives.
At this moment, a girl in black suddenly jumped in from the window and started fighting with the bandits.
After a while, these bandits were all killed by the girl's sword.
After Wang Tieniu saw it, he said with a horrified look on his face: "Thank you very much, girl, for saving your life. I don't know her name, but I will repay you later."
As a result, the girl suddenly smiled and said to him: "Young master, please don't see anyone outside. In fact, I am the youngest daughter of Magistrate Zhang. Just call me Cailian. My father had already known that someone would come to kill you, so he asked me to stay by your side. Now you are safe."
finished. , Cailian suddenly jumped up, jumped out of the house, and disappeared!
The story is over!
Postscript:
2 months later, Magistrate Zhang was promoted to prefect by the court because of his merits in disaster relief.
So, in order to thank Wang Tieniu for his help, he actually married his youngest daughter to Wang Tieniu and lived a happy life.
Later, with the help of his father-in-law, Wang Tieniu became the magistrate of the county. He was deeply loved by everyone and benefited the people of the country.
