During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, in Lishui, Zhejiang, there was a man named Chen Bingdao who was born in a small mountain village. He was very courageous and kind-hearted since he was a child.
When he grew up, he was very willing to help others. Whenever an elderly person passed away, he would take the initiative to help purchase coffins. At that time, many people could not afford to buy a coffin because of their poor family background, and a coffin cost a lot of money.
A few years later, Chen boldly went to learn the craft. After mastering the craft, he opened a coffin shop in the county. He made coffins in three prices according to the quality of the wood. The prices were divided into high-end and high-end. There are three types: mid-range and low-range. So that everyone can afford coffins to bury the dead.
Wealthy families can purchase high-quality red lacquer coffins, and the price may be several times higher; ordinary families can choose mid-range price coffins, which are affordable and affordable to most people; the third type is specialized Prepared for poor families, half sold and half given away. When someone really has no money to buy it, he will send a low-end coffin to the deceased for free.
Chen boldly purchased the wood for his coffins from some nearby small mountain villages. Therefore, everyone knew that he was kind-hearted and good at craftsmanship. The coffins were sold very cheaply, and everyone's wood was sold to him very cheaply.
One day, he purchased a large amount of wood in a small village and needed to hire someone to transport it for several days. Because there were no roads at that time, human transportation was required, and the speed was very slow.
Therefore, he made a tent and slept next to the wood at night, waiting for someone to transport it to the coffin shop for processing the next day. When he got up to urinate in the middle of the night, he suddenly saw a man carrying a coffin in the distance.
He was a little strange and wanted to run up to see what was going on. Under the moonlight, he saw the person carrying the coffin carrying the coffin body at one end and the coffin lid at the other.
If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely be gutted after seeing this kind of thing. But this Chen is bold, he is so bold, he just wants to find out what is going on?
At this time, Chen DaDang chased quickly, and the people carrying the coffin also walked quickly; Chen DaDang chased slowly, and the people carrying the coffin also walked slowly. Just like this, one person was walking in front carrying the coffin, and the other was following behind. When they arrived at a cemetery, the person carrying the coffin suddenly disappeared.
After Chen Bingdao came back, he told the villagers there what he saw last night the next day. Everyone followed Chen Bingdao to the cemetery to see what happened.
When everyone arrived at the cemetery, they found that one of the tombs had sunk in the middle, and there were overgrown weeds in front and behind the tomb. An older man said that no one had visited this tomb for decades. After sweeping the tomb, it turned out that it was an insurrectionary army against feudalism and rule. He died of illness here after being injured.
The kind-hearted villagers buried him there without a coffin. They just cut down some trees and put them on top. However, they buried some soil on top and made a grave.
After Chen boldly learned about the situation, he sent someone to bring a coffin to his coffin shop, and asked the villagers to help rebuild the mosquito tomb. After the tomb was repaired, the villagers brought him some paper money and burned it to worship him. Because everyone knew that he was a peasant rebel and respected him very much.
As the saying goes: sheep have the kindness of kneeling to breastfeed, crows have the sense of feeding back, and ghosts have the heart of repaying kindness.
It is very strange to say that for many years after this incident, every household in the villagers was safe. When an old man passes away at a funeral, the coffin bearers will feel very relaxed, as if someone is secretly helping.
Since then, Chen Bingdao’s wood stored in the village no longer needs to be taken care of. If someone steals the wood he bought, the person who stole the wood will see a person sitting on the wood. If it wasn't someone who was stealing wood, you wouldn't see anyone sitting there. Things in the spiritual world are so magical.
The business of the coffin shop is also very prosperous. The reason is that after everyone knows about Chen Bingdao's deeds, they all go to the coffin shop he opened to purchase.
So, do more good deeds to accumulate virtue, which is good for both others and yourself!
