Dazhuang Village at the time of the Song Dynasty , there were two children. Although they were not brothers, they were born on the same day of the same year, month and day.
Both families were moved by the wonders of fate, so they simply made them brothers of the opposite sex.
The older child is called Li Qianzhi, and the younger one is called Chen Xinghai. They have had a good relationship since they were young.
However, something happened to Li Qianzhi's family recently. His father Li Fugui lost a lot of money in business, and creditors came to his house every day.
Chen Xinghai's father Chen Dazhong also borrowed a lot of money from Li Fugui, but in his family's situation, it is not easy for Li Fugui to come to ask for money.
Learning that Li Qianzhi had no place to eat, Chen Dazhong asked Li Qianzhi to come to his house for dinner.
"Uncle has no other skills, but he still has the ability to make you have enough food."
Li Fugui was very moved when he learned about what Chen Dazhong did.
He promised Chen Dazhong: "Brother, don't worry, I will pay you back when I have money."
But before that day, something happened to Chen Dazhong's family, and he provoked the bully in the village.
The bully took the axe to cut off the locust tree at the east end of the village. The reason was that the fortune teller said that the locust tree affected his luck.
Some villagers said angrily: "Listen to him, he wanted to cut the locust tree into furniture!"
Although everyone was angry, everyone dared not speak out when facing bullies.
Chen Dazhong felt uncomfortable too. He had been enjoying the cool under that tree since he was a child, and now he can't do this anymore.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he came to the locust tree again.
At this time, the bully and his people were about to come to cut down the trees, and Chen Dazhong didn't know where the courage came from.
He shouted to the bully and his group: "No one of you can move the locust tree!"
The bully disagreed. They thought Chen Dazhong was just talking, how could he deal with a group of people!
But they forgot that no matter how powerful a bad person is, he is afraid of the lifeless person.
Chen Dazhong didn't know where to take out a dagger. He said, "You must dare to move this tree, and I will die with you."
People who work also have to support their families to make money, and they don't want to pay their lives for this.
So they said to the bully, "You have agreed to let us come and cut the trees."
All the people working left, which made the bully angry. He said viciously, "Wait for me!"
Chen Dazhong believed that since he had offended the bully, he would protect the locust tree to the end.
So he didn't go home, and he stayed under the locust tree without leaving.
A villagers said, "That bully is saying that he wants to take revenge on you everywhere in the village, so you must be careful."
Chen Dazhong was not afraid. He was just worried about his wife and children at home. He specifically told his son: "Don't go out if you have nothing to do."
Even though he repeatedly told him, his son Chen Xinghai was still missing. Everyone searched for three days and three nights, and finally found the child in a cave.
However, Chen Xinghai has been killed, and Chen Dazhong and his wife are in disheartened.
Chen Dazhong said: "I have never done anything bad in my life, why did my son end up like this."
Constable came to the village to investigate quickly. Although everyone suspected that it was a bully who killed him, they had no evidence.
Chen Dazhong was also very strange. His son has always been very obedient and there are few reasons for him to go out.
Suddenly he had a sudden enlightenment. If he had a certain reason to go out, you would be Li Qianzhi to come to him.
Thinking of this, Chen Dazhong hurriedly went to find Li Qianzhi, but was stopped by Li Fugui.
Li Fugui said: "My son has been sick these days and can't even walk on the road. How could he find Chen Xinghai?"
Seeing that Chen Dazhong was suspicious, he had to let him enter the house.
Chen Dazhong saw that Li Qianzhi was indeed very ill, so he could only leave disappointed.
and others left, and Li Fugui's wife came out and said, "I don't know if we are right or wrong in doing this."
Li Fugui glared at his wife: "Do you want our son to bear the infamy for the rest of his life?"
The wife shut up, and Li Fugui felt uncomfortable because this matter was indeed related to his son.
Since Chen Dazhong and the bully had a fight, the bully wanted to teach him a lesson and wanted Chen Dazhong to retreat with difficulty.
He thought about it and decided to start with Chen Dazhong's family.
But Chen Dazhong's family was also prepared for a long time, and he could not find a chance to start.
At this time, he met Li Qianzhi, and he was playing with the stone boredly.
while playing, and said, "Xinghai can't come out, I'm so bored."
The bully's eyes turned, and suddenly he thought of a good idea.
He handed Li Qianzhi a tael of silver and said, "As long as you can bring Chen Xinghai out, this tael of silver will be yours."
"You can buy toys or food at that time, and you two can share, what a great thing!"
Li Qianzhi and Chen Xinghai are not from wealthy families. He was very happy to see the one tael of silver given by the bully.
So he came to find Chen Xinghai, but Chen Xinghai still remembered his father's words and refused to let him go out.
Li Qianzhi said: "Let's go out for a while, and then we will buy candied haws ."
When he heard that there was something delicious, Chen Xinghai hesitated for a moment and went out with him.
They just walked out not far, and the bully captured Chen Xinghai.
and he also threatened Li Qianzhi: "If you dare to tell this matter, I will beat you to death!"
Li Qianzhi had no idea for a moment, so he had to go home and ask his father for help.
After listening to his son's story, Li Fugui knew that this was bad.
The bully took Chen Xinghai away and must have revenge on Chen Dazhong. If they inform the villagers at this time, everyone might be able to chase the children.
But his son will suffer with it, and there will definitely be villagers who say that his son is a person who forgets his righteousness when he sees profit.
Once his son's reputation is damaged, how can he gain a foothold in this world in the future?
Finally, Li Fugui said to his son: "Just pretend that this has not happened. When everyone asks, you say you don't know anything."
Li Qianzhi burst into tears. He really didn't know that this would harm his friends.
Soon after, news of Chen Xinghai's death came, which made Li Qianzhi even more sad. He fell ill that night.
Li Qianzhi's health had just improved, but the bully came to the door.
Originally, the bully was still nervous when he saw the people from the government found Li Fugui's home.
0,000 yuan Li Qianzhi told him about taking him away from Chen Xinghai, and he must be in danger.
He was nervous for two days, and after asking, he found out that Chen Xinghai was sick and could not speak at all, so he let go of his hanging heart.
However, in order to eliminate the consequences, the bully found Li Fugui with 100 taels of silver.
The bully said, "As long as you don't tell this, the 100 taels of silver will be yours, and no creditors will come to you again."
Li Fugui looked at the 100 taels of silver. He really needed this money too much. In the end, he told the bully that he would let his son keep his mouth shut.
paid off their debts, and they still had a lot of money left. In order to make their son forget about this, they moved their family to the city.
Later, Li Fugui heard that Chen Dazhong's wife could not stand the blow and died soon.
Only Chen Dazhong and his youngest son are left to depend on each other, and life is very difficult.
The locust tree at the entrance of the village was also cut down by the bully, and since then the villagers have no place to cool off.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and Li Qianzhi has grown into a young man, and has already married and had children.
He is now a shopkeeper in a pharmacy. His income of a few taels of silver every month is enough for his wife, children and children to live a good life.
That day, he received a notice from his family that Li Fugui was on the street to buy groceries and disappeared.
The family searched around and finally found Li Fugui in a corner.
At this time, Li Fugui was already unconscious and kept chanting: "We know nothing, we really don't know anything."
Li Fugui has been in this state since that day, and everyone was helpless after seeing many doctors.
Li Qianzhi had no choice but to find a fortune teller , who restored Li Fugui's situation at that time.
At that time, Li Fugui was buying vegetables on the street, and suddenly he saw Chen Xinghai, who had been dead for a long time, on the corner of the street.
Li Fugui fled, strangely, he could see Chen Xinghai wherever he went.
Finally, he ran to the wasteland and accidentally fell, and his consciousness became blurred at this time.
Fortune teller said: "You must tie the bell if you untie the bell. You still have to seek forgiveness from others so that you can calm your heart."
In fact, although Li Qianzhi's appearance is glorious over the years, no one knows the pain in his heart.
When he thought that his friend died because of him, he did nothing, and he felt very guilty.
For the sake of his father and for his former friend, Li Qianzhi decided to return to the village.
When we arrived at the village, the villagers were very enthusiastic about him, especially Chen Xinghai's younger brother Chen Xinghe.
He said, "It's Brother Qianzhi, but I haven't seen you for many years."
The two of them greeted for a while, and Chen Xinghe said, "I'll get married in a few days, you must come and have a wedding banquet."
Li Qianzhi naturally agreed happily, and he would also come to participate for the sake of his friends.
That day he met a beggar at the entrance of the village, so he kindly gave the beggar a tael of silver.
The beggar took the silver and thanked him repeatedly. He said, "I won't ask for your money for nothing, I will repay you."
Li Qianzhi did not take the beggar's words to heart. He could count on the beggar to help him.
At that time, he did not expect that his thoughts of benevolence would actually save his life.
This day was a happy day for Chen Xinghe to get married, and Li Qianzhi came to attend the banquet specially. After the ceremony of
and other things, the guests feasted, and Li Qianzhi was no exception.
At this time, Chen Xinghe, as the groom, rushed over and gave Li Qianzhi a chicken leg.
He said complimentally: "You are considered a person in the city, and I am very grateful to be able to attend my wedding."
Li Qianzhi said: "I am also very happy to see that you have started a family and started a business."
When Chen Xinghe left, Li Qianzhi talked to each other for a while with a few childhood friends.
When he came back, he was about to eat the chicken leg, but the beggar rushed over and knocked his job over.
Li Qianzhi didn't understand his intention, but the beggar said, "The chicken legs are poisonous, and you will die when they are dispersed."
Li Qianzhi asked, "What should I do?"
Beggar said, "You have to leave here quickly, maybe there is a glimmer of life."
So Li Qianzhi raised his leg and ran away, hoping to leave quickly.
Before he could run out of the yard, he was stopped by Chen Xinghe, who was the groom.
"It was because of your and my brother that died back then. Where else did you want to escape?"
said that, Chen Xinghe took out the sword in his hand. Whenever he thought of his poor brother over the years, he couldn't help crying.
He didn't know about this at first, but one day a fox came to him and told Chen Dazhong the whole story.
The fox said, "I was injured that year and was able to recuperate under the protection of the locust tree."
"And that bully actually cut off the locust tree. I was really angry."
It is precisely because of this that the fox told Chen Dazhong the truth. They all felt that Li Fugui and Li Qianzhi were more hateful than the bully.
Li Qianzhi betrayed his friends because of money. Li Fugui was afraid that his son's reputation would be damaged and they missed the opportunity to save Chen Xinghai.
So that day the fox turned into Chen Xinghai's appearance, and Li Fugui was indeed scared.
This is really a guilty act. In fact, it is Li Fugui who scares himself.
Seeing Chen Xinghe's sword coming down soon, the beggar rushed over to stop all this.
Beggar said: "The bully who killed your brother was still at large, and Li Qianzhi was the only one who could prove that he killed your brother."
"You have killed him now, so how can your brother's grievances be maintained?"
Thinking about this, Chen Xinghe put down the sword in his hand in pain.
Li Qianzhi said with repentance at this time: "I regretted it for many years. I shouldn't have brought Chen Xinghai out. I regret not standing up bravely."
"Now I am willing to use my life to give Chen Xinghai justice!"
On the second day, Li Qianzhi went to the government to tell the story of that year.
Constable arrested the bully, but was released again a few days later.
It turns out that although Li Qianzhi's testimony said that the bully took Chen Xinghai away, the bully denied that he killed someone.
"I just beat Li Xinghai up, and then he went home. Do you think I have a definite evidence for killing people?"
The people in the government were helpless. They really had no evidence, so they could only let the bully go.
The bully came to Li Qianzhi with his mighty power. He said proudly: "So what if I go and sue me, I'm helpless."
"If I had known that I might as well kill you directly, and I would have saved me the 100 taels of silver."
On the second day, the bully received 100 taels of silver and a letter, which was sent by Li Qianzhi.
's letter read: "I'll pay you back the money. From today on, I must let your crimes be revealed to the world."
The bully didn't care. He has been safe for so many years. What kind of big waves can a mere Li Qianzhi make?
But he underestimated Li Qianzhi's determination. This time he would find evidence of the bully's killing no matter what.
He came to his friend's home and saw the peach wood sword he once gave to his friend, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I know I'm wrong. Now I want to ask you for justice. I don't know what to do?"
He found the constable and asked, "How did you find the murderer when you solved the case?"
The constable replied, "Go to the scene to find clues. In this world, as long as you have done, you will definitely leave traces."
Li Qianzhi was inspired by it and came to the cave where Chen Xinghai was killed.
The hole was pitch black, and he could only see the situation inside under the candlelight.
Suddenly he saw a circle drawn on a stone. This was his agreement with Chen Xinghai.
Once Chen Xinghai got lost, and he searched for a long time before finding him. Later, Li Qianzhi said: "If you get separated, you keep drawing circles on the road, so that I can find you."
Unexpectedly, his friend asked him for help at the last moment, but the friend he caused lost his life.
But now it is not the time to be sad. He followed the direction of the circle and finally saw a few big words written in blood in an inconspicuous corner.
He clearly stated that the person who killed him was a bully. Li Qianzhi believed that with this evidence, he would definitely bring the bully to justice.
When the government received the news, the whole city arrested the bully. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the bully's house, he had already escaped.
Chen Xinghai's younger brother Chen Xinghe slapped the table unwillingly: "Why did he let him run away again? Are we really unable to do anything!"
Li Qianzhi firmly believed that he would definitely find a bully. He thought about it, but in the end he thought of a place.
He came to the entrance of the village, and the locust tree at the entrance of the village no longer exists.
Li Qianzhi saw a sound in the grass in the distance, and he approached little by little.
Before he could get to the place, the bully rushed out and stabbed Li Qianzhi's body with a sword.
But Li Qianzhi did not give up. He grabbed the bully's clothes tightly. He shouted loudly: "Come and catch people, come and catch people!"
The villagers came from all directions after hearing the sound and subdued the bully with their efforts.
When everyone sent Li Qianzhi to the clinic, he had already passed away for a long time.
Maybe he can finally feel at ease when he helps his friend seek justice.
Later, Li Qianzhi's father Li Fugui woke up and learned that his son had passed away was beyond his reach.
"I should have let my son stand up bravely at the beginning, otherwise, there would be no such thing as today. I was the one who harmed my son!"
But no matter how he cried, his son could no longer come back.
The fox took out a seed of a locust tree. It was discovered at the entrance of the village that year, and it replanted it.
A few years later, another locust tree grew at the entrance of the village. Two children were playing under the locust tree, and they agreed to be good friends all the time.
Summary: people should not do the most bad things, otherwise they will not only feel guilty for the rest of their lives, but in the end they will still have to pay the price.
When others are in danger, you don’t stand up, and when you encounter danger, no one will come to save you.
Be a friend and don’t stab the knife in the back; you can’t take money if you lose money, and you will regret it if you suffer a disaster.
