Tang Dynasty During the Zhenguan period, there was a peddler named Tian Qi in Kaifeng Prefecture Chenliu County . Tian Qi's parents died early, and he grew up with the help of his neighbors. Later, Tian Qi accumulated some capital by working as a coolie, and then started a business of selling goods. He carried bamboo baskets around the streets every day, selling needles, thread, rouge, and powder.
In that era, a man was basically married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but because of his poverty, Tian Qi waited until he was still single in his twenties. Tian Qi was also very anxious, but there was nothing he could do if he was anxious. As the saying goes, if you marry a man and have clothes and food, no one would want to marry his daughter to a poor man and live a hard life.
But there is a saying that you can’t stop your fate when it comes. Once, Tian Qi went to a neighboring county to sell goods, but when he was halfway, he met a few drunk men who wanted to behave badly with a woman. Tian Qi was tall and big, and rushed to the drunk men and rescued the woman. After that, the woman was very grateful to him.
After talking to Tian Qi learned that the woman's name was Shanhu, who had escaped from another place. She originally wanted to join Chen Liu's relatives, but when she arrived, she found that her relatives had moved away, and finally had no choice but to leave the streets. Seeing that Tian Qi was strong and had a good mind, Coral Hu offered to marry him as his wife.
Tian Qi was very happy to see the corals looking beautiful and was happy to agree to this matter. He immediately took Corals home and invited several neighbors to hold a simple wedding. After everyone dispersed, Tian Qi walked into the house, prepared to take off his clothes and go to bed, and go to the clouds and rain with Coral.
Results At this moment, the donkey fed by Tian Qi suddenly rushed into the bridal chamber and kicked the coral far away. The coral fell heavily on the wall and died at that time. When Tian Qi looked at the ground again, he was stunned and was extremely grateful to the donkey.
Tian Qi and this donkey have a story. Once, Tian Qi was selling goods on the street and was passing through a restaurant, a donkey rushed out. It turned out that the restaurant specializes in donkey meat . Because the business is very prosperous, it kills a donkey almost every day. The donkey ran to Tian Qi and kowtowed unstoppable. Seeing that the donkey was spiritual, Tian Qi bought it back and sometimes used it to transport goods.
In the days that followed, the donkey saved Tian Qi's life twice. Once, Tian Qi led the donkey to a neighboring county to sell goods. When he passed a bridge, the donkey ran away. When Tian Qi was about to whip the donkey, the bridge was about to go crazy and whip the donkey. It collapsed with a bang. If Tian Qi was on the bridge just now, he would definitely be either dead or injured.
Another time Tian Qi was preparing to take a ferry to sell goods, but because the donkey stopped on the road, Tian Qi missed the ferry. At that time, Tian Qi was still complaining that he had missed a good opportunity to make money, but later he learned that the ferry had capsized in the river and none of the merchants on the boat were spared.
After these two experiences, Tian Qi realized that his donkey must be a god donkey, so he looked at it with a different eye.
After the donkey kicked the coral to death, when Tian Qi went to see it again, he saw that the coral's body turned into a fox. Only then did Tian Qi realize that the coral was actually a fox demon. He heard that recently, men in the city often died at home for no reason, and their essence and blood were drained. I guess it was the fox demon who made it. If it weren't for the donkey kicking the fox demon to death in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape the tragic death.
That night, Tian Qi saw the donkey coming to his dream. The donkey said, "I was originally the mount of Zhang Guo Lao . When Zhang Guo Lao took me to the peach banquet, I stole it because I stole it. After eating Ganoderma lucidum, he was sent off the earth. Now the fox demon has been eliminated, and I have ended my tribulation and I have to go to heaven to report my life. You can collect more cotton to ensure that you are rich and noble."
Wait the next day and wake up and see The donkey's reins and bridle were still there, but the donkey was gone. I guess it was really a magic donkey and he wanted to go to heaven to report his life. Tian Qi followed the donkey's instructions and purchased a large amount of cotton. People laughed at him at that time, saying that it had been warm winter for several years, and buying so much cotton would probably be in the hands.
Results In the winter that year, the weather was extremely cold, the supply of cotton in the market was in short supply, and the price rose. Tian Qi earned more than 1,000 taels of silver that year. He used these money to buy a house and land, opened his own business, and later married a beautiful wife, and lived a harmonious life.
