During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a butcher named Yang Si in Jiading Prefecture. He came out of the womb's womb, and a black scar appeared on his left face. As he grew older, the scar was the size of a sparrow egg, looking fierce.
People who don’t know Yang Si, who thought he was a local bully, dared not provoke him. But Yang Si is very kind-hearted and willing to endure hardships. He never lacks weight in selling pork and is very honest.
Because of his demeanor, no girl is willing to marry him when she is thirty years old. For most women, they still want to find a better-looking man.
One day, Yang Si went to a nearby mountain village to kill pigs for the mountain people. After working hard for a day, the enthusiastic mountain people treated him to dinner and wanted him to stay overnight. But Yang Si refused and said, "I'm used to sleeping at home, and I can't sleep on another floor. If you can give me a lantern, I'll go back by myself!"
That night, Yang Si took the lanterns of the mountain people and walked home in the night. After walking about two miles, I suddenly met a young woman in a bend of a mountain.
When the woman saw Yang Si approaching, she swung her embroidered handkerchief and emitting a strong fragrance, she smiled and said, "Is it Brother Yang Si who killed pigs? I'll wait for you."
Yang Si took advantage of the bright moonlight and light and saw the woman wearing a white silk jacket and a green satin skirt underneath. A purple scarf tied her slender waist with a concave and convex facial features, a delicate mouth, and a pair of charming eyes that were extremely vivid.
Yang Si did not know the beautiful woman in front of her, so she asked, "Madam, I seem to have never seen you. Whose name is?" The woman covered her mouth and said, "I am a mountaineering family nearby. I heard that you were slaughtering pigs in the village next door, and I specifically waited for you to return here."Yang Si did not suspect that she was cheating and asked, "Why are you waiting for me?"
Hao 0The woman took out a ingot of clouded silver and said, "Today is my grandma's 80th birthday. I want to have a whole pig banquet. I bought a big sow a few days ago. If you are tired, Brother Yang went to help kill the pig!"Yang Si saw that it was getting late and didn't want to be tired anymore, but when she saw the woman begging three times, she took the silver and followed her.
Two people walked around three mountains, entered a green bamboo forest and entered a mansion.
At this time, the mansion was already singing and dancing, and many guests came in and out to celebrate the birthday of a white-haired old woman sitting in the hall. Everyone was whispering, but when Yang Si arrived, he became quiet and stared at him with strange eyes. Yang Si suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. He laughed dryly, and saluted to the old woman and said, "I am here to kill pigs. I wish the old lady a lifetime better than the southern mountain and a long life of pine trees and a blessing as long as the flowing water in the East China Sea."
The old woman was wearing silk and silk armor, wearing a pair of gold-clad shoes, and was full of nobleness. She smiled and showed two rows of white teeth. Her voice was loud and powerful. She said, "Good come, wonderful come, go and kill pigs. You will have something delicious when you are on the birthday party!"
Yang Si followed the woman into the backyard woodshed, and saw a sow tied up in five flowers lying on the ground. The beautiful woman looked at Yang Si and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Yang is about to kill, I'm going to have a banquet soon!" After that, she turned around and left.
Sheep is very skillful, holding the pig's head with his left hand, holding the pig's knife with his right hand, aiming the tip of the knife at the pig's neck, and preparing to cut it. At this moment, suddenly, the sow was struggling hard and screaming.
"Ah, Uncle Yang Si, keep people under the knife." At this time, the sow was anxious and suddenly spoke human words. Yang Siyi was frightened and quickly threw away the knife in his hand and asked tremblingly: "Are you a human or a demon! Why can you speak?"
The sow shed tears and said: "Uncle Yang Si, don't you remember me? I am a widow Zhou in Li Village who often buys your pork. He is the fat and fat little lady!"
Yang Si listened carefully and realized that it was indeed Widow Zhou's voice, and hurriedly said: "Look at how much you usually eat, you are as fat as a pig, and you won't become a pig? What's the situation?"
Wife Zhou twisted the pig's head, turned the pig's body, and cried again: "Three days ago, I met a beautiful woman on the street. The other party invited me to eat a bun, and said that there was a lot of bacon at home and wanted to give me some. I followed her into the mountain because of greed. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at a remote place, the woman suddenly turned into a yellow-haired fox. When she recited a spell, she turned me into a fat pig, saying that she wanted to kill me and celebrate her birthday!"
Sheep Si was very frightened after listening to it, and said tremblingly: "Did I go into the fox demon's nest? This is a bad thing." After that, she turned around and wanted to run away, but as soon as the door opened, there was a group of people standing outside, all of whom were peeking at Sheep Si slaying pigs.
The old woman and the woman were also standing among them. Seeing Yang Si trembling and refused to kill the pig, the old woman blew up. In an instant, all the onlookers grew a fluffy fox face and stood there with a hunched back.
Yang Si was suddenly scared out of water and sat on the ground and cried, "Dear Fox Fairies, although I am a pig slaughter, I have never done anything that harms the sky. Please spare your life!"
The fox woman grinned, "The courageless humans and animals, today is the 800th birthday of my grandma fox. Now all kinds of fox relatives and fairies gather together. You slaughter this fat woman, cook a human meat banquet to entertain us, and you will spare your life. Otherwise, you will swallow you alive!" Yang Si was very important to save his life and quickly kowtowed and agreed, "I will kill you, I will kill you."
After saying that, Yang Si trembled in front of the fox demons, with a knife in front of Widow Zhou.
I saw the pig-turned Widow Zhou crying like a pig-killing cry, and kept shouting: "Uncle Yang Si, killing people will pay for your life. Don't make mistakes. We are acquaintances, please save me!"
Yang Si heard it for a while, and his conscience was instantly awakened, and he actually had the desire to save people.
So calmed down and pretended to say, "This pig has been tied up for a few days, and its blood and energy are not smooth. If I kill it at this time, the meat will not taste delicious. According to my method of killing pigs, I have to drive the pig for a while to make its blood and energy active. Then I will use a knife to solve it when it is unprepared. The cut pork will be fresh and delicious!"
The foxes, who didn't know how to kill pigs, invited Yang Si. Now that I saw him say this, I guess I can't make any trouble, so I agreed.
So, the sheep pretended to behave, loosened the sow, and then ran away in the backyard with the pig's butt. Each person and a pig ran a few times, and the fox demons were bored and they entered the hall and started a banquet.
After a while, Yang Si saw that the time was right, he whispered to Widow Zhou: "See my order later and rush out through the wooden door of the backyard together." After the two agreed, they suddenly accelerated toward the door, pulled the crossbar on the door a few times, and ran out in a crazy way.
At this time, the foxes found that they were cheated and screamed and chased them out. Yang Si drove the pig and fled for a while. The two of them ran for a while and came to a cliff. Seeing a group of foxes pounced on him, Yang Sixin gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to jump off the cliff and commit suicide, and you can still leave a pair of corpses!"
One person and one pig, both jumped off the cliff. Fortunately, there was a big river below, which saved two people's lives.
The next day, Yang Si and Widow Zhou returned to the village and told him about the monster he met last night. Everyone believed it. After all, Widow Zhou was testified. Helplessly, no one knew how to resolve the mantra when Widow Zhou turned into a pig body.
Just as the villagers were worried, a Taoist priest came to the entrance of the village. After hearing Widow Zhou’s cry, the other party said, “It is not difficult to break this demon method. Just pull out the fox demon’s hair, burn the ashes and drink it, and it can be cracked.”
So that day, Yang Si took Taoist priest to find the fox demon mansion.
The original mansion has long disappeared, but there is an extra fox hole in the place. The Taoist priest calculated and said, "The demons have dispersed after the birthday party, and now only the old fox and the fox woman are hiding here."
Taoist priest asked Yang Si to find a pile of dry firewood and weeds, piled it at the entrance of the fox's cave and started burning. The Taoist priest sprinkled a handful of cinnabar on the fire, which turned into rolling red smoke and smoked into the cave. After a while, two yellow-haired foxes rushed out of the entrance of the cave. The Taoist priest shouted, "Bold monster, come and die quickly!" After that, he slashed his sword and stabbed him.
The two fox demons and the Taoist priest fought fiercely for a while, but were so smoky that they coughed continuously by the red smoke around them. In the end, they were not careful and were killed by the Taoist priest.
Afterwards, the Taoist priest took down a few fox demon hairs and took them back to Yang Si, let him burn the hair into ashes, mix it into the water, and let Widow Zhou eat it. In a blink of an eye, Widow Zhou returned to her human form.
Later, in order to thank Yang Si for saving his life, widow Zhou promised her to marry him.
After the two got married, the husband and wife followed each other and were very loving. But that Widow Zhou was determined to lose weight. After half a year, she became thinner and thinner and grew into a charming and beautiful woman.
Jingyuezhai's message:
In this world, Jungle Law has always existed, and the reality of the strong prey on the weak is difficult to change.
Just like the world of Journey to the West, immortals feed on monsters and monsters feed on people. In fact, it is not a big mistake for them, because the rules are all set by strong people. The fox demon in the story eats people and wants to change it to a civilized way of eating, but ends up killing the fat pig by the butcher, creating a beautiful marriage.
Although this rule is terrible, we should still have a sense of compassion for the weak. Because strength and weakness are never absolute. There are also strong players. The weak can become strong by working hard to become strong. Only those who only care about the weak and have kind hearts can receive blessings in the end.
