Farmers Xu Er and Song Cai from Chengdu Prefecture are neighbors and good friends since childhood. The two families live in harmony, help each other, share delicious food with each other, and get along as close as one family.
A few years later, one day, Xu Er's uncle was seriously ill. His uncle had no children, only his only nephew.
His uncle was far away from home and asked someone to send him a message. He wanted to see him one last time and bid farewell to him.
When Xu Er received the letter, he was so anxious that he took his family to another place overnight.
Before leaving, he entrusted everything in his home to his friend Song Cai to take care of him.
Song Cai patted his chest and promised him to go with peace of mind. He would take care of his house and wait for him to come home. Nothing would be missing.
Of course Xu Er believed him and left with his family.
Song Cai’s family sent them to the entrance of the village.
Song Cai gave him many instructions and told him to take care of himself.
The two families reluctantly separated.
Xu Er and his family traveled through mountains and rivers along the way, going through many hardships, and finally arrived at their destination after many days.
His uncle was already very ill and dying. Seeing him, he forced a smile and looked very happy.
After explaining the funeral affairs intermittently, he died peacefully.
Xu Er was so distraught that the seven-foot tall man howled and cried... so he had to be buried.
After his uncle died, because there were some things that needed him to deal with, the family lived here for a year before they were ready to go home.
His uncle left him some property, and he also bought a house.
On the way back, he went to his uncle's grave and stayed in silence for a while.
thinks that he will visit his grave when he has time in the future.
Originally, he wanted to return his fallen leaves to his roots, and he wanted to transport his body back to his hometown.
But this was his uncle's wish. After his aunt died, she was buried here. He didn't want to dig out her remains and disturb her again.
Therefore, I want to stay with her and be buried here.
The family left here with a heavy heart.
Many days later, I finally returned to my hometown after a year’s absence.
walked to the entrance of the village and looked at the plants and trees on the roadside. The family felt particularly friendly.
all wanted to meet their friend Song Cai and his family, and even brought them gifts.
Back in the village, Xu Er opened the door and went in. He saw that the yard and the house were all very clean and tidy.
The original decorations were not moved at all. It was obvious that Song Cai took good care of his home.
The couple was very pleased.
took out the gift and went to Song Cai's house.
Song Cai’s family was having dinner and was very happy to see them back.
hurriedly bought some dishes and chopsticks, and killed a chicken for them to eat.
Xu Er was very moved and took out those gifts.
Two people got together and had a great conversation.
Not long after, Song Cai’s wife prepared the chicken, which was fragrant and served with a smile.
When the children saw the chicken, they were extremely excited and couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks to eat...
Song Cai and Xu Er drank from cup to cup, and there was endless laughter in the room.
continued eating and drinking until late at night. Song Cai and Xu Er were both drunk at the table.
Xu Er’s wife helped him back.
The next morning, the couple got up.
Xu Er’s wife Xu suddenly remembered, why were they so quiet when they returned home? I didn't see the two chickens and the black dog raised at home.
hurriedly searched for it in the yard, but he searched every corner of the yard.
The two reed chickens and the big black dog are missing.
Mrs. Xu returned to the house in despair, woke up Xu Er who was still sleeping, and told what happened.
After hearing this, Xu Er did not panic, and said with a smile: "Don't make a fuss, brother (Song Cai) takes good care of our house. How could a living animal be lost? What a woman!"
After that, he ignored her and wanted to sleep again. He was exhausted from the journey.
Seeing that he was about to lie down again, Mrs. Xu became anxious and pulled him up and asked him to go out and take a look.
Xu Er saw him looking very angry, smiled bitterly and had to get up, and went out to look for him, but he really didn't find it.
was puzzled, so the couple went to Song Cai's house and asked implicitly.
After hearing this, Song Cai slapped his forehead and said: "I was so happy last night and drank too much that I forgot about this matter. It's like this. Half a year after you left, one day, I went to you again as usual. I was cleaning the yard and feeding the chickens and dogs, but I was surprised to find that the dog was gone and the dog's leash was thrown on the ground. I was wondering, the doors and windows were intact, and it didn't look like a thief had escaped. He would come back. But the next day, the dog still didn't come back. After a while, the chicken disappeared again. We looked for it for a long time but couldn't find it. We felt very guilty and uneasy. I didn't take good care of my family, so I decided to compensate your family for two chickens and a dog."
But after hearing this, Xu Er was furious. He felt that Song Cai was lying.
himself did not lack the two chickens and a dog. Although the black dog was lost, he felt particularly distressed.
But how could he, Song Cai, fabricate lies to deceive himself? He and he had been good friends since childhood, how could he deceive himself.
Those two chickens and dogs were clearly killed for meat by their family.
Yesterday at the dinner table, his child laughed and said that his family always eats meat, including chicken and dog meat. Children can't lie.
himself and his good friends and neighbors for decades.
I never thought that when I walked on the front foot, he would kill the dog and eat its meat. He was really a despicable and shameless person.
If I hadn’t been away from home for so long, I still couldn’t clearly see his true face in Lushan. It would be really unpredictable!
He cursed angrily...
Song Cai had been apologizing, but seeing his aggressive look, he became furious, so he started to quarrel with him...
Their wives tried to break up the fight, but the more they quarreled, the more violent they became. .
The two women also changed from their usual gentle demeanor and started to quarrel...
The quarrel was intense.
The villagers all ran out to watch the fun and were shocked when they saw the two families quarreling.
Muramasa stepped forward and forced them apart.
When Xu Er returned home, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
In the evening, I got myself drunk, picked up the tool and tore down the walls of the two houses.
entered Song Cai's home. At this time, Song Cai was lying on the bed complaining to his wife because he was angry and not sleepy.
Suddenly heard the shrill screams of pigs...
It was not good to scream, so I ran out and saw that Xu Er was swinging his head and hitting the pigs crazily...The pigs were wailing in pain.
That pig weighs more than 200 pounds and is going to be sold during the Chinese New Year.
When Song Cai saw it, his eyes suddenly turned red. He went into the house and picked up a kitchen knife to fight with him.
Fortunately, his wife stopped him quickly and watched helplessly as the pig howled sadly and died.
Xu Erfang stopped, looked at them hatefully, and staggered away.
Song Cai watched him leave silently with cold eyes. He stayed up all night and sat in front of the dead pig until dawn.
Since then, the two families have changed from best friends to sworn enemies.
A few months later, it was the Ghost Festival of and a half.
Xu Er brought offerings and paper money to visit his parents' graves. When he got there, he was stunned.
I saw that my parents’ graves had been dug up and their bones were scattered all over the ground.
His heart was as sharp as a knife, and he wailed miserably. His legs gave out, and he knelt on the ground with a plop. He looked up to the sky with tears and yelled that he was unfilial...
cursed which unscrupulous person did this. If he caught him, he would definitely call him. The corpse was cut into thousands of pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.
He thought it was Song Cai who did it.
killed his pig himself, so he naturally held a grudge. It was so vicious.
His eyes were red, his face was stained with tears, and his fists were clenched tightly.
returned home, took a pickaxe , and found a few relatives and friends to repair the tomb.
In the evening, he drank again, staggeredly picked up the shiny kitchen knife, and went out with red eyes.
After he demolished the wall, Song Cai blocked it up again.
He walked out and jumped over the wall to enter.
hid under the window and heard Song Cai snoring loudly in the room, so he jumped in through the window.
Because he was very familiar with his house, he slashed hard at Song Cai who was sleeping...
Song Cai was stabbed in his sleep, and the pain was unbearable. When he woke up, he hurriedly dodged the second stabbing, and jumped up and fought with pain. He fought...
His wife was so frightened that she was shaking and shouting almost crazy.
Although Song Cai is taller and more powerful than Xu Erchang, he is unarmed.
And Xu Er had a knife in his hand, so after a few rounds, Xu Er slashed him several times.
saw Song Cai's wife yelling in a horrifying voice. Someone outside heard the sound and came over. The crowd was shouting and fled in panic.
When he returned home, he hurriedly woke up his wife and children from their sleep, packed up some gold and silver items, and prepared to escape.
But it was already too late. Muramasa, with two policemen and villagers, had already surrounded his family, so he had no choice but to surrender.
Song Cai was seriously injured by him. Fortunately, his life was not in danger. He was sentenced to forty days in prison.
Many days later, he was released from prison.
Since then, the two families have become enemies. They hear the sounds of chickens and dogs, and never interact with each other until death.
When two children meet, they will yell at each other with red eyes and stop interacting with each other.
After some time, one night, suddenly the wind roared and thunder sounded.
It was not a big meeting, and the rain was pouring...
The thunder exploded in Xu Eryuan and refused to leave for a long time.
The family was so frightened that they hid in the house and did not dare to come out. They did not know what was going on.
Once again, deafening thunder sounded, lightning and thunder roared.
My wife and children screamed in fright. They had never seen such loud thunder.
After the thunder stopped, the rain also stopped.
The family breathed a sigh of relief.
The next morning, Mrs. Xu went out to collect firewood and prepare to cook.
walked to the backyard and suddenly opened his mouth in shock.
I saw a big pit in the yard. Not far from it, there was a giant python as thick as a water tank. It had been struck to death by lightning. Its whole body was charred and black, and it looked horrifying.
Xu turned pale with fright and ran back yelling.
Xu Er saw her panicked look and asked what was going on?
At this time, Mrs. Xu’s lips were trembling and she could no longer speak.
took him to the backyard. Xu Er was shocked when he saw this.
He stared blankly, and it took him a while to wake up.
No wonder the Thunder God refused to leave for a long time last night. It turned out that he was chopping up this big snake.
He calmed down and suddenly saw chicken feathers next to the cave, and was startled.
walked into the cave, getting deeper and deeper inside, and the fishy smell was nauseating.
He went in holding his nose and saw chicken feathers and broken eggshells scattered on the floor.
Walking further in, there is actually a fluffy dog tail. Although it is slimy and blurry, you can still tell that it is a dog tail.
He suddenly understood and hurriedly called his wife to come in.
Xu bravely entered.
Xu Er pointed it out to her, and Mrs. Xu was also shocked.
The couple watched silently, knowing full well what was going on.
My dogs, chickens, and eggs were all eaten by the giant python, and I wronged Song Cai.
The couple was filled with sighs, mixed emotions, and surging thoughts. They stayed up all night.
The next day, the couple bought a lot of gifts and went to Song's house to sincerely apologize and tell them the story in tears.
hopes that they will forgive him for being reckless and unjustly accusing them without finding out the truth.
And because he severely injured Song Cai, he suffered from poor health after recovering from the injury.
I can’t walk very well on one leg.
He was the mainstay of the family, but now his life is difficult.
His wife, Mrs. Song, often carried him on her back and wept secretly.
Song Cai hated him very much.
His two children hated him even more and threatened to take revenge on him when they grow up.
Song Cai and his wife looked at him coldly, looking at his remorseful look, unmoved, and kicked him out.
The couple was kicked out. They were so ashamed that they stayed up all night.
thought about it and had to move away.
Before leaving, he left some money and asked Muramasa to transfer the money to Song Cai, and also gave him his own house.
The family moved out of town.
