During the 30th Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Wenxiao in the village was just a ten-year-old child.
Everyone in the village sympathized with him and felt that this child was too pitiful.
His father passed away before he was born, and his mother died when he was three years old.
Jiang Wenxiao has been living with his grandfather, Old Man Jiang over the years. Although he lives in poverty, his descendants are content.
No one expected that Old Man Jiang fell off the cliff and died while chopping firewood. In this way, Jiang Wenxiao became an orphan.
After holding Mr. Jiang’s funeral, the village chief and many villagers came to their home to discuss Jiang Wenxiao’s future life.
The village chief said to Mr. Jiang's other sons: "You are the children's uncles, what do you think?"
Uncles were unwilling to raise him, and his second uncle said: "I have several sons in my family, so I can raise them, you can give me the money."
Uncle San was unwilling either: "It's not my son, why do you want me to get the money?"
For this matter, Jiang Wenxiao's uncles fought hard, and they didn't decide the outcome when it was dark.
When everyone didn't know what to do, the hunting dog raised by Old Man Jiang suddenly rushed out.
This hunting dog is extraordinary. When Old Man Jiang encountered a tiger in a hunting trip, the hunting dog finally rescued Old Man Jiang from the tiger's mouth without any damage.
The hunting dog is very smart and deeply trusted by Old Man Jiang. At this time, it must be Old Man Jiang who has something to explain.
This is true. The hound brought a box and called out a few times to signal people to open it.
Everyone quickly opened the box and saw that it was actually a valuable piece of jade.
There is also a letter in the box, in which Old Man Jiang wrote what to do in the future.
This jade was left by Jiang Wenxiao’s father. If Jiang Wenxiao is willing to live with, the jade will belong to whom.
The uncles who had just shirked responsibility for each other, immediately came to Jiang Wenxiao when they saw Jade.
They rushed to let Jiang Wenxiao live in their homes, and they were also much more kind when they looked at Jiang Wenxiao.
The uncles all said, "I will be my own son in the future!" In order to get the jade, they said all the good things.
Because his parents died early, Jiang Wenxiao was more sensible than children of the same age.
He could see the uncles clearly just now. He knew that no matter where he went, he would not have a good life.
So Jiang Wenxiao said to the village chief, "I live by myself, and I won't go to anyone's house."
He didn't believe it anymore. He had his own hands and feet, would he still starve to death?
The last few uncles returned in disappointment. When they left, they were staring at Jiang Wenxiao fiercely.
Jiang Wenxiao cooks and farms. He works hard every day, and he falls asleep when he gets home.
Jiang Wenxiao just fell asleep on that day when he heard the crest of the hunting dog.
When Jiang Wenxiao opened his eyes, he heard the hunting dog say, "Get out of here quickly, your uncle is coming soon."
Jiang Wenxiao was about to get the jade when several uncles broke in.
Uncle said, "We don't make things difficult for you. As long as you hand over the jade, it's over."
This jade was left to him by his father and grandfather, and Jiang Xiaowen would never give it to these greedy uncles.
Uncle San shouted: "What else do you want to say to him? Just grab it directly."
Several uncles rushed forward and wanted to snatch the jade, and the hunting dog tried his best to protect Jiang Wenxiao.
But they were no match for the uncles. Soon the hunting dog was thrown to the ground by his uncle, and Jiang Wenxiao's head was also injured.
The uncles finally got the jade and they jumped up happily.
"With jade, our lives will definitely get better and better!"
When Jiang Wenxiao proposed to live alone, the uncles were unwilling to accept their uncles when they returned home.
Why can he take over the jade, a stinky boy, and no matter what, they should be there.
So they still quarreled during the day, and gathered together at night to discuss how to take back the jade.
discussed for several days, and everyone finally decided that since they refused to give it to them, they would rob it.
Just like that, several uncles left with jade. They said to Jiang Wenxiao: "You must be aware of the current affairs, otherwise there will be no good results."
After several uncles left, Jiang Wenxiao hurried to check the injuries of the hunting dog.
The hound is seriously injured and it is already dying.
The hunting dog tried his best to say to Jiang Wenxiao: "You can leave here quickly, you are pressed by your uncle here, you can't turn over."
After saying that, the hunting dog fell to the ground and died, leaving only the young Jiang Wenxiao crying bitterly.
He buried the hunting dog next to his grandfather's tomb. He said to his relatives, "I will never come back if I don't do anything big!"
After that, he left the village. Before leaving, he looked at several houses in his uncle's house and said firmly, "One day I will make you kneel down and beg me!"
Jiang Wenxiao came to the city with great enthusiasm. He thought he could gain a foothold in the city, but soon he suffered a lot.
A child as old as him cannot carry his shoulders and hands, and no boss is willing to hire him to work.
And he was despised everywhere he went. In order to survive, Jiang Wenxiao had to be a beggar.
His wish is very simple as long as he can eat enough, it is best to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain to be content.
That day, a woman saw that he was so pitiful that she gave Jiang Wenxiao 10 copper plates .
Just as he was happily preparing to buy buns with the money, a group of beggars surrounded him. A beggar led by
said, "This is our territory. Who asked you to beg here?"
Jiang Wenxiao didn't understand these things. He felt that this road was not theirs, so why didn't he let himself beg here?
"You are not capable of getting money. Don't vent your anger on me. They are all miserable people, why bother each other!"
Unexpectedly, the beggar said very angrily: "Since you refuse to leave, don't blame us for being rude!"
Several people gathered together, and they beat Jiang Wenxiao hard, and before leaving, they did not forget to take away the 10 copper coins he had worked hard to get away.
Jiang Wenxiao was very dissatisfied with everyone.
It was cold at night, and he was injured again. Jiang Wenxiao felt that he would definitely die here.
At this moment, a child about the same age as him came to him, not only to give him some food, but also to cover him with a thick quilt.
A few days later, Jiang Wenxiao recovered from health and he was also very grateful to the child.
The child’s name is Zheng Shouzhong, who originally had a happy family.
Suddenly one day the officers and soldiers broke into his home and they captured Zheng Shouzhong's father.
The government official said, "He killed someone, now the case has been solved, and he is the murderer!"
It turned out that Zheng Shouzhong's father could not make money, so he had other ideas.
So he cheated Mr. Li on the grounds of doing business. When Mr. Li realized that he had been cheated, he clamored to report to the official.
Because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, Zheng Shouzhong's father killed Li Yuanwai.
At this time, Mr. Li's son was sitting on the ground and trembling. Zheng Shouzhong's father was going to kill him.
The child knelt down and kept begging for mercy: "Please let me go. I will definitely not say it out, please."
After all, he also has children. He felt compassion and let go of Mr. Li's son.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, Mr. Li's son reported to the official and the constable arrested him.
It is precisely because of his thoughts that he had taken his life, that Zheng Shouzhong's father was very upset.
He was sentenced to beheading and said to his son before he was sentenced: "Son, remember, people who do big things must not be too kind-hearted, otherwise the most loss is yourself."
Zheng Shouzhong remembered his father's words firmly, and he always did this.
Usually he competes for territory with other beggars, but he never ruthlessly when fighting. He will never give up until he knocks the other party to the ground.
However, he has always fought alone and is often attacked by other beggars.
He has been looking for help. When he saw Jiang Wenxiao lying in the snow, he decided that Jiang Wenxiao was his kind.
Jiang Wenxiao was very grateful to know that it was Zheng Shouzhong who saved him, and they all had the same fate, which made the two of them closer.
So the two of them became brothers of the opposite sex, and they were blessed and difficult to share.
Zheng Shouzhong said: "If you want to do something big, you must have great courage."
Zheng Shouzhong took Jiang Wenxiao to find the beggar who bullied him before, and the two of them fought with the beggars.
Although there are many beggars, they are also scared when they see their lives desperately.
In the end, these beggars could only beg for mercy, hoping that they would not fight.
Zheng Shouzhong said: "If you want to live a good life, our fists must be strong."
That day they went to a roast duck restaurant to beg for a beggar, but the waiter had no good face.
"Beggars like you can come here to ask for money, hurry up and leave!"
said and drove them out. Jiang Wenxiao looked at the roast duck, and he couldn't help swallowing.
His behavior caused the waiter to laugh at him: "It's obvious that he has never seen the world. You never want to eat such delicious roast duck in your life."
Although being a beggar is often looked down upon by others, the waiter's words still make Jiang Xiaowen sad.
Zheng Shouzhong saw his thoughts and said, "I will let you eat roast duck tonight."
Zheng Shouzhong thought of the solution was that when there was no one at night, they quietly entered the store, not only stole the silver, but also the roast duck.
The two were happily eating roast duck in one corner. Jiang Xiaowen didn't expect that they would eat roast duck without spending a penny.
Zheng Shouzhong told him: "As long as we are brave, our good days will be in the future!"
From then on, the two began to steal, and many families in the city had visited.
As long as they steal money, the first thing they do is to have a big meal in the restaurant.
Of course, sometimes they will fail, but the government locked them up and released them again after a few days.
Then they continued to be thieves, Jiang Wenxiao lived a comfortable life where he could make money without working.
On that day, the two of them went to an old man's house to steal something, but unfortunately, they happened to be hit by the old man.
The old man shouted, "Where are the thieves coming from? You can hand over the stolen things!"
Two people ran in front, and the old man was chasing behind. Just when the old man was about to chase them, he accidentally fell.
The old man tossed and turned on the ground in pain, and his fall was quite heavy.
Jiang Wenxiao saw the old man like this, and he remembered his deceased grandfather.
It should have hurt when my grandfather fell off the cliff, so he stopped.
Zheng Shouzhong said: "The officers and soldiers are coming soon. If we don't leave, we will go to jail!"
Jiang Wenxiao asked him to leave first, and he would save the old man no matter what.
Seeing that Jiang Wenxiao insisted on saving the old man, he could only take one step first.
Jiang Wenxiao took the old man to the clinic and left after confirming that there was no problem.
Jiang Wenxiao thought this matter would have passed, but he didn't expect that he would fail again while stealing something. This time he was locked in a prison.
The family refused to let go and did not let the government release them if they did not take ten taels of silver.
Jiang Wenxiao smiled bitterly. How could he get ten taels of silver? This time he was afraid he would have to wear the bottom of the prison.
But he didn't expect that someone was willing to help him.
He was sleeping that day, and the prison guard told him to get up.
"Jiang Wenxiao, someone comes to see you!"
Jiang Wenxiao is a little confused. Zheng Shouzhong won't come, so who else will be there?
When he saw it, he realized that it was the old man he had saved before. The old man compensated the money to others, and Jiang Wenxiao was able to get out of prison.
The old man took Jiang Wenxiao to the cemetery, and the owner of the tomb was his son.
The old man's son, the name is very smart, but when he grew up, he didn't take the right path. In order to make a lot of money, he became a thief.
After seeing it, I beat and scolded me, but my son just refused to repent.
People walk by the river and don’t have any shoes wet. One day, when my son was stealing a family, he had a conflict with the male owner of that family.
During the fight, the old man's son was beaten to death by the male owner, and the old man was heartbroken.
That day, the old man saw Jiang Wenxiao coming to save him, and he knew that the child was not bad by nature, so he wanted to pull him.
The old man said, "You can't continue like this for the rest of your life, otherwise your fate will not be good."
The old man's words shocked Jiang Xiaowen, and he also realized that if he continued like this, he would sooner or later cause a big disaster one day.
He found Zheng Shouzhong: "Let's find some work to do, you can't always be thieves."
Zheng Shouzhong didn't care: "This kind of life is so good, it's not much better than working hard. I think you've been in prison for too long!"
The two of them didn't say anything but a long sentence, and they parted ways.
Jiang Wenxiao went to work hard. Although he worked hard, every penny was earned by him with his labor, which made Jiang Wenxiao feel at ease.
Later, with the help of the old man, he saved money to open a shop, and became a boss a few years later.
Jiang Wenxiao sincerely thanked the old man for his retirement. Without him, he would not know how far he had fallen!
My friend invited Jiang Wenxiao to dinner, and my friend said he wanted to use a python to make a big meal for him.
Jiang Wenxiao heard people say that pythons are very spiritual and cannot be easily hurt, so after his persuasion, my friend will immediately let it go.
Jiang Wenxiao sat in the store and was napping. When he woke up, he found himself lying in the coffin.
The python that was released before was looking at him, and the python said to him, "How does it feel in the coffin?"
Jiang Wenxiao of course felt scared. He was a little ridiculous before, but he also wanted to live a hundred years old!
The python said, "It's good to know. Your friends will come to you in a few days, you must be careful."
"You bury 100 taels of silver in the wasteland, and don't quarrel with him because of the silver."
After a few days, as the python said, Zheng Shouzhong came to him.
He knew that his friend was rich now, so he wanted to borrow some money.
Jiang Wenxiao remembered what the python said before, and he gave Zheng Shouzhong ten taels of silver without hesitation.
I thought this matter would end here, but he underestimated Zheng Shouzhong. After
, Zheng Shouzhong often came to the store to ask for money, but Jiang Wenxiao was reluctant after a long time.
These silvers were also earned by myself, so I let Zheng Shouzhong take them away.
But he is not easy to offend, so he can only try not to meet Zheng Shouzhong again.
was rejected several times in a row, and Zheng Shouzhong also understood that Jiang Wenxiao did not want to see him again.
He said angrily: "If it weren't for me, you would have frozen to death on the streets, but now you don't see me, then I would be welcome."
In fact, Jiang Wenxiao also gave Zheng Shouzhong a lot of money, and he also advised Zheng Shouzhong to find some work.
Zheng Shouzhong said, "That's so hard, I can't do it."
Seeing that his friend was obsessed with it, Jiang Wen knew that he would be unable to repent.
Facing such a person, no matter how much money you give him, he cannot satisfy his desires, but fortunately Jiang Xiaowen won't give it.
Jiang Wenxiao went out to do business. When he came back, he passed by a wasteland and suddenly a knife was put on his neck.
He heard the voice behind him and said, "I will not kill you if you ask you to take out the silver."
Jiang Wenxiao heard it. This was the voice of his friend Zheng Shouzhong, and it was really said by the python.
After the python finished speaking, Jiang Wenxiao was skeptical, not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one, but he still buried 100 taels of silver in the wasteland according to the python's instructions.
In order to survive, Jiang Wenxiao took him to dig out the 100 taels of silver. Zheng Shouzhong was very happy. Now he can have no worries about food and clothing.
Zheng Shouzhong went down the mountain with 100 taels of silver, but he found that the silver was getting heavier and he was crushed to death by the silver on him.
Many years later, Jiang Wenxiao met a Taoist priest: "Silver represents his desire, he was killed by his own desires."
When Jiang Wenxiao returned to the village, his uncles were all dead.
After getting the jade, they all wanted to take it for themselves, so they did not hesitate to kill him, and finally ended up dying together.
Whether Zheng Shouzhong or Jiang Xiaowen's uncles died because of wealth
Jiang Xiaowen took this as a warning, and only he lived happily until his death.
Summary: Birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups, and never be with bad people Together, the person who is close to the ink has become dark after a long time.
The prodigal son returns and is not exchanged. As long as he repents, it will never be too late.
Do all his bad things and get money, but he still doesn't know his future. Regret only when disaster comes, and don't forget the most precious thing.
