The Ma family used to be quite a prestigious figure in the family. Ma Yuanwai has made a lot of money in business over the years. But not long ago, Ma Yuanwai was cheated and all his savings for many years were lost. Not to mention, Ma Yuanwai As a result, the family's reputation

The Ma family used to be quite a prestigious figure in the family. Ma Yuanwai has made a lot of money in business over the years. However, not long ago, Ma Yuanwai was deceived and lost all his savings over the years. As a result, the Ma family's reputation plummeted, and they lived a life of eating chaffy vegetables for a long time.

This day, Tianma Yuanwai went out dejectedly and happened to meet "No Eyes He" on the street. Who can say "No Eyes He"? Everyone knew that he was a Taoist who was swindling on the street. With his slippery tongue, this Taoist defrauded a lot of money, and Ma Yuanwai was one of them.

But one time, He Daoren said something wrong, which touched that person's bottom line and blinded him. From then on, He Daoren no longer dared to talk nonsense, and he didn't go out for a long time, so this When Tianma Yuanwai saw He Daoren, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Seeing He Daoren walking towards him with his eyes closed, Ma Yuanwai hurriedly moved away.

What Ma Yuanwai didn’t expect was that wherever he went, He Daoren would follow him, like a follower he couldn’t get rid of.

Ma Yuanwai was angry, turned around and pointed at He Daoren and cursed: "What are you doing with me in broad daylight? I, Ma Yuanwai, am penniless now and have nothing for you to deceive."

He Daoren is unpredictable. He smiled and said, "Don't be upset, Master Ma. Today, I'm here to see you specially."

Ma Yuanwai was stunned. Before he could say anything, Taoist He spoke first: "Observe the aura of Ma Yuanwai, I'm afraid that I lost all my money recently, right? "

" "You...how did you know?" He Daoren chuckled and said, "Although I cheat, I still have some skills, but I am too thin. The camel is bigger than the horse, so the horseman must have some savings. I happen to have a pair of jade pendants here, which can attract wealth and turn away evil spirits. They are not much, fifty taels of silver."

The horseman glanced at Daoist He and said, "You. Do you still have any conscience? It’s already this time and you still want to defraud me of my money.”

The officer didn't pay attention. At this time, a man happened to run up. He looked at the jade pendant in He Daoren's hand and exclaimed: "Oh, isn't this He Daoren? This jade pendant is a good thing. How much did it cost? I bought it!"

He Daoren deliberately put The voice was raised loudly: "It's not expensive, it's only a hundred taels!"

After saying that, the man wanted to pay for the jade pendant, but Ma Yuanwai didn't know what was going on. He trembled all over and suddenly became interested in the jade pendant. Interested, as if stunned, he quickly turned around and snatched the jade pendant, "This jade pendant, I fell in love with it first."

In this way, Ma Yuanwai used his last fifty taels of silver to buy a pair of jade pendants.

The jade pendant is well made, is a good piece of jade, and is indeed worth the money. However, the Ma family only has fifty taels of silver left. After buying this jade pendant, how will they live their lives in the future? For this jade pendant, Mrs. Ma often quarreled with Ma Yuanwai, but Ma Yuanwai did have his own attitude. Every night he brought the jade pendant under the moonlight and muttered something.

This kind of operation is really effective. Although there is no business, there is still business coming to the door. Within two days, I made a hundred taels of silver. The same is true for Mrs. Ma. She can pick it up if she falls when she goes out. After receiving the money, within five days, the Ma family was back to its former self. For this reason, Ma Yuanwai was even more cautious about the pair of jade pendants.

Ma Yuanwai’s business is booming, and he, who already has a good reputation, can’t help but show off his jade pendant. Everyone can’t help but flatter him when they see it. Only one person stared at the jade pendant and said, “Ma Yuanwai, where did you get this jade pendant? It looks so weird. "It's familiar."

The horseman's face darkened, "You don't need to know how it came about. Besides, this jade pendant is unique, how can you find it familiar?"

The man smiled sadly and said nothing.

Compared to the laughter of the couple, Ma Yuanwai’s daughter Le Yang was sullen and silent.

That night, Ma Yuanwai came to the yard as usual with his jade pendant and muttered words to the moon. Le Yang, who was seven or eight years old, followed his father carefully, hiding aside and watching Ma Yuanwai’s every move. After a stick of incense, Ma Yuanwai The member put away the jade pendant, but Le Yang opened his eyes wide, covered his lips, trembled with fear, and suddenly fainted.

By the time Le Yang woke up, it was already early the next morning.

Mrs. Ma looked at Le Yang nervously. Seeing that Le Yang had woken up, she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Daughter, are you awake? If you don't wake up again, mother... mother will... Oops."

Mrs. Ma said and started to cry.

Le Yang moved her dry lips and looked around, but there was no sign of the horsemen. Le Yang couldn't help but feel anxious, and quickly stood up and asked: "Mom, where is my dad? Where is my dad!"

Seeing Le Yang excited When she got up, Mrs. Ma quickly grabbed her sleeve and comforted her: "My daughter, my daughter, don't be afraid. Your father was busy all night and fell asleep."

But Le Yang didn't listen. Insisting on getting up to see the horseman, Mrs. Ma had no choice but to let her go.

Le Yang stumbled to Ma Yuan Wai’s outhouse, and when he saw Ma Yuan Wai sleeping on the bed, Le Yang cried with a “wow” sound, threw herself in front of Ma Yuan Wai, shook his body and shouted: “Daddy, Daddy! You don’t want to die!”

Ma Yuanwai was shaken by Le Yang and had a splitting headache. He quickly opened his eyes and said feebly: “Daughter, what’s wrong? Why are you crying like this? Your father and I are still fine. How could I die?” ?”

　“But...but I saw a black air coming into my father’s eyebrows. My mother-in-law said, I’m afraid my father won’t live more than three days.” Le Yang said, wiping away tears pitifully.

Seeing that Le Yang was crying pitifully, Ma Yuanwai hurriedly comforted him: "What kind of black energy? It won't happen. Your father and I are in good health."

After saying that, Ma Yuanwai's face suddenly became startled, and then his blood surged, Vomiting blood, the horseman suddenly turned pale, like a paper man.

Mrs. Ma's face changed drastically, and the horsemen were also shocked, "It's so good...how could it be..."

At this time, Le Yang's eyes were blank, he looked away, and he opened and closed his mouth and said to the air on the other side: " Mother-in-law, please save my father... Mother-in-law, what do you mean? To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell..."

Le Yang muttered, suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Ma Yuanwai and asked : "Dad, where is the jade pendant you bought?"

Ma Yuanwai didn't know why, but he still took the jade pendant out of his arms.

Before Ma Yuanwai could say anything, Le Yang snatched the jade pendant away, then raised his small hand and threw the jade pendant to the ground. The jade pendant fell to the ground with a "clang" sound, and the jade pendant shattered in response. .

The horseman was shocked when he saw a small black insect emerging from the broken jade pendant. The insect crawled not far before turning into a puddle of black water and disappearing.

The horseman looked dumbfounded: "What...what is going on?"

Le Yang looked at the air beside him, and then said after a while: "My mother-in-law said that there was something wrong with the jade pendant that dad bought. In fact, dad came back. I discovered it on the first day...”

It turned out that Le Yang was born with the ability to see things that others could not see, so she discovered the clues on the first day she bought the jade pendant from Ma Yuanwai.

The jade pendant seemed to be clear, but in Leyang's eyes, it was wrapped in a mass of black air. There was a pair of big black hands in the black air, grabbing Ma Yuanwai's chest. The black hands quickly disappeared. Integrated with Ma Yuanwai.

Day by day, the black energy in Ma Yuanwai's body is getting closer and closer to the center of his eyebrows. In Leyang's eyes, Ma Yuanwai's whole body has been wrapped in black energy.

The grandma who was following Le Yang was none other than Ma Yuan Wai’s mother. The grandma told Le Yang that as long as the black air reached Ma Yuan Wai’s head, Ma Yuan Wai would die. Le Yang was startled when he saw the mass. The black air had already reached Ma Yuanwai's eyebrows, and Le Yang fainted from fright.

Seeing Leyang’s sincerity and the scene that just happened, Ma Yuanwai couldn’t help but feel chills running down his spine.

"This jade pendant has been broken. Am I okay now?" the horseman looked at Le Yang and asked.

Le Yang shook his head: "No, the black energy is still in dad's body. My mother-in-law said that the person who tied the bell must untie it. Did dad provoke someone?"

Ma Yuanwai didn't know who it was, and he thought it was him. He Daoren wanted to harm him, so he got up quickly, preparing to find the Taoist and settle the score with him, but He Daoren seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Ma Yuanwai could not find him. Seeing that the three-day deadline was coming, Ma Yuanwai was about to cry without tears. .

One wave has not subsided, but another wave has arisen.

That day, when Ma Yuanwai was about to go out, he met a group of officers and soldiers. The leader was none other than the prince from the city. When he saw the prince, Ma Yuanwai did not dare to neglect and hurriedly knelt down on the ground.

The prince snorted coldly and asked: "I heard that you got a magical jade pendant not long ago. Where is this jade pendant now? Take it out, I want to see it."

The horseman hesitated, he also said in front of the prince. I didn't dare to tell lies, so I had to tell the truth.

When the prince heard this, his face changed greatly, "Are those jade pendants a pair? There can be a Pisces pattern printed on the jade pendants."

The horseman nodded blankly. When the prince heard this, he raised the whip in his hand and knocked the horseman over. On the ground, the horseman was rolling on the ground in pain.

　"Well, you, a horseman, stole my king's jade pendant and broke it into pieces. Do you know the origin of that jade pendant?"

horseman, he trembled all over, what? The prince’s jade pendant! No wonder the man said he looked familiar at the jade pendant.

The horseman was shaking like chaff. When he saw the prince whipping his horse and dismounting, he quickly got up and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't dare to steal the prince's jade pendant. This... this jade pendant cost me fifty taels of silver." Bought it from Mr. He. "

" Mr. He, tell me, when did you buy the jade pendant?" the prince asked with a frown.

"About...a month ago," Ma Yuanwai said.

"Haha" the prince said, "Can you investigate clearly before Ma Yuanwai lied? Then He Daoren died three months ago, how did he live to sell the jade pendant to you?"

Ma Yuanwai was eager to defend himself, but the prince did not. He refused to listen to him, so he waved his hand and sent someone to take the horseman to the prison.

At this moment, Le Yang stumbled out, blocking the horseman with his small body and saying: "Your Majesty, you can't arrest my father, because I broke the jade pendant! If you want to arrest me, Your Majesty, just arrest me." Take them away!"

The prince was furious at this time and arrested Le Yang and Ma Yuanwai indiscriminately.

Ma Yuanwai and Le Yang were imprisoned in a dark and damp dungeon. Ma Yuanwai shook his head and sighed: "Daughter, why are you doing this? Although daddy is going to die, he will only suffer for two days in this prison."

Le Yang said: "Dad, the jade pendant matter has nothing to do with you. My mother-in-law said that you were tricked into being deceived. Why should we be afraid or compromise for something we have never done? But we do We must admit that we have done something wrong, and we can’t let ourselves go until others forgive us.”

Le Yang’s words made Ma Yuanwai fall into deep thought. In a daze, he seemed to think of someone, but that person was in his mind. It was fleeting in my mind and soon disappeared.

On the third night, Le Yang found that the black air on Ma Yuanwai's body had reached his forehead. At this moment, a cold wind blew up in the corridor for no reason. Ma Yuanwai felt that the cold wind was rushing towards him. Come over.

The eyes of Le Yang on the side widened and he rushed forward hurriedly: "Dad, be careful!"

As soon as the words fell, the cold wind stopped abruptly in front of Le Yang.

After a while, Le Yang opened his eyes and saw a woman suddenly appeared in front of him.

　The woman's face was pretty, but her feet were off the ground, and her whole body was still exuding bursts of black energy. Looking at the woman's face, Le Yang couldn't help but murmured: "It seems."

　The woman was startled, and she lowered her head and glanced at Le Yang in front of her. Yang, then the anger in her eyes dissipated and turned into love. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Ma Yuanwai in front of her and said, "I never expected that a man as cruel as you could do a good deed!"

Ma Yuanwai saw this. The woman immediately collapsed on the ground. At this moment, he finally understood why he had provoked these things for no reason. Ma Yuanwai smiled: "So it's you."

Ma Yuanwai started from scratch. Everyone thought Ma Yuanwai was gone. The Universiade only has its later status, but it is not the case.

As early as when Ma Yuanwai was a teenager, he got married. At that time, Ma Yuanwai was penniless, but his wife Zhou Lan did not dislike him, stayed with him, and even used her dowry to support him. At first, Ma Yuanwai He was very touched, but gradually he discovered that his wife Zhou Lan had hidden something from him. Zhou Lan's natal family was not an ordinary family, but a wealthy family with a lot of money.

After Ma Yuanwai knew the truth, he deliberately wanted to defraud Zhou Lan's family of money, but the fire could not be concealed. Ma Yuanwai's purpose was discovered by the Zhou family, who forced Zhou Lan to divorce Ma Yuanwai. Ma Yuanwai was worried that he would die if he left Zhou Lan. With no source of income, Zhou Lan forgave Ma Yuanwai after his pleading.

But Ma Yuanwai has long been eyeing the Zhou family’s money, how could he give up so easily? So Ma Yuanwai put on a show and set a fire in Zhou's house...

Thinking of this, Ma Yuanwai wiped the tears from his face and said, "I was sorry for you back then, but...but later I wanted to compensate you. , I also burned a lot of paper money for your family, and that paper money is enough for you to live a better life there!"

Zhou Lan sneered: "Is living the same as being dead? Ma Qing, are you doing it for your own selfish desires? , you didn’t hesitate to hurt our family, and you are still obsessed with it, but you have some conscience, at least you left my child.”

Zhou Lan reached out and touched Le Yang’s head.

It turns out that before Zhou Lan died, he tried his best to give birth to Le Yang. Later, Ma Yuan married a wife outside, and he and his wife had no children for many years, so he brought Zhou Lan's child back.

Ma Yuanwai thought that once a person died, he thought that the evil deeds he had done would always be buried in the soil and no one would find out. However, God is watching what people do, and those who do evil things will always be punished.

Zhou Lan's resentment surged, and she took on the appearance of Taoist He to deceive Ma Yuanwai's trust, and sold the jade pendant to Ma Yuanwai. The black energy of resentment invaded Ma Yuanwai's body, absorbing Ma Yuanwai's life, and his life accelerated. The luck of his life was also exhausted in just a few days. Zhou Lan asked Ma Yuanwai to use his last life in exchange for a few days of wealth. While punishing Ma Yuanwai, he also taught him a truth.

At this moment, Ma Yuanwai burst into tears, "I was wrong, wrong."

After the prince's investigation, it was discovered that the jade pendant was not stolen by Ma Yuanwai, and the real jade pendant has been found.

But when the prince came to the prison, he found that Ma Yuanwai had already died, and Le Yang, who had been sent in earlier, was nowhere to be found.

　 God is watching what you do. You don’t ask for wealth and wealth. You can only live a peaceful life with your own hands. I think if Ma Yuanwai had his life all over again, he would never go down that road. As long as he lives, he will have it. All hope, no matter how much money you have, you can't spend it after you die.

Folk stories teach and educate people, and persuade people to do good. Don’t go against feudal superstition!
