In Yuanlong Town, there is a butcher living in , called Zhang Laoba. The reason why he is called Laoba is that the Zhang family is a big family in the town, and the same generation is ranked. This butcher ranked Laoba, so he has such a nickname.
If it were others, they would all call him names, but the butcher did this business, so people simply didn't call him real name, and called him Zhang Laoba directly.
Not to mention, I have been working for more than ten years. I almost know him butcher Zhang Laoba in this town, which is quite famous.
The reason why Zhang Lao Ba is famous is that when slaughtering livestock, he will always abuse and beat them first and then slaughter them. When normal people see him, they all say that he is cruel and perverted, so this person has more reputations.
Only the butcher himself knows that this is a technique passed down from his ancestors, so he has to do it, but it is indeed a bit cruel.
The reason why the butcher's business is good is because of this. They are all the same mutton, and the taste they sell here is much better.
But this is a business secret and the secret of Zhang's family getting rich. Naturally, he would not argue, but it is precisely because of this that the outside world's view of him inevitably becomes a bit unfavorable.
It was the hot summer now. Butcher Zhang guarded his shop and set up a recliner in the shade. The meat case was not far away, and they were all acquaintances, and no one came to steal it without open eyes.
So this butcher sleeps peacefully.
While half asleep and half awake, I seemed to hear footsteps, my eyes opened, and a figure swayed in the distance, and an old man walked over.
The butcher suddenly woke up and rubbed his eyes to see that the old man was wearing an ancient Taoist robe, his hair was hidden in the Taoist crown, and a wooden hairpin separated him. Although it seemed to be dusty, it had the oncoming spirit of immortality.
Old Taoist was passing by a small town. When passing by the butcher shop, he casually looked at the butcher, but was stunned for a moment and stopped.
The butcher on the recliner saw it and simply stood up and bowed: The Taoist priest is polite!
The Taoist priest took a few steps forward, looked him up and down, frowned, and the butcher saw it, and was a little nervous and asked: Taoist priest! Are you having something wrong?
The old Taoist priest heard this and nodded and said: Your Yin Tang is black, this is a sign of bad luck! If what I said is not bad, it will be the past few days.
Hearing this, the butcher's pupils opened, his mouth was gasping for breath, staring at the old Taoist priest, unable to speak.
Before he could react, the old Taoist priest sighed and said: It seems that it is behind Fuyuan, why is it such a sign of premature death!
seemed a little puzzled, and the old Taoist priest left straight away.
It was not until this time that the butcher reacted, staring at the old Taoist priest's back, silent, but there was infinite fear in his heart.
Zhang Butcher's father was also a butcher of his age. His business was excellent at that time, but he suddenly died suddenly and passed away under forty years.
Now that he heard the Taoist priest's words, he couldn't help but be afraid.
When his wife returned home, she saw that he was distracted and asked: Master, what's wrong with this today?
When the butcher heard this, he just nodded, said no, but he had insomnia at night, and what the Taoist said always echoed in his mind.
The next day, it was dawn, and the butcher who had not slept all night was not sleepy at all, so he simply got up and went to the butcher shop. But when I passed by an alley, I accidentally saw an old man who fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the butcher hesitated for a moment. He originally planned to go directly, but finally stopped, squatted in front of the old man and checked.
tested his breath and found that he was still alive. He breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out and patted the old man and said: Old man! Old man! Wake up!
After a long time, with a muffled groan, the old man gradually woke up, looked up at him, and asked weakly: What's the matter?
When the butcher saw this, he put his hand on the old man's forehead and tried it. He found that it was very hot and must be sick. He said: Are you sick, where are your family?
The old man was obviously not from the town. After hearing the question, he sighed and said: Old man, I am helpless, I can count wherever I go!
Hearing this, the butcher felt a little sad. He was so old and alone, and now he is still sick here, but it is really pitiful.
sighed and said: Let’s go! Come with me and I will help you with your illness.
The old man heard this and asked: Who are you?
The butcher said: I am Zhang Laoba, the butcher in the town, come with me!
After hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, staring at him with a look of surprise and suspicion, but in the end he didn't say anything. He stood up with difficulty and followed the butcher to the butcher's shop.
There is a simple bed here, where the old man was placed here. Then, he went to the clinic and invited the doctor to help the old man with treatment.
The doctor came over to see it, but there was no big problem. After prescribing the medicine, the butcher simply did a good job and helped decoct the medicine and fed the old man.
The old man's physical fitness is really good. It's only two days, and it's half better. At least there's no problem with getting up.
The butcher saved someone here, but it was spread. Curious people would come to see it. The butcher's wife was reasonable and didn't say much.
After this old man was a little better, he always felt like he wanted to speak but stopped, which made the butcher a little uncomfortable. After asking, the old man didn't say anything.
On the third day, the old man looked at him and seemed to have become even more weird. There were a lot of new good meat in Zhang Butcher’s butcher shop, and some were brought out and sold on the chopping board.
It was the morning, and the most crowded time, because today is still the day of the market, there are many stalls on both sides, and people call for buying and selling, which is very lively.
There were several people in front of the chopping board. Just as they were about to buy meat, the butcher's knife was raised. At this moment, the old man walked out of the shop and shouted to everyone: Don't buy it, there is something wrong with his meat!
A word came out, everyone looked over, and the butcher turned around and stared at him, revealing a look of confusion.
The old man arrived at the chopping board with a sense of righteousness and pointed to the meat on it and said: You all may not know why this meat from Lao Ba is so delicious. Let me tell you that there is human urine in his meat, which means that the meat you eat is soaked in him.
This sentence was aroused by everyone, and they immediately talked, staring at the butcher, shouting at him to give an explanation.
The butcher was stupid. He had never done this before. The old man saved him, so why did he speak like this?
Even if there is, this old man will be kind to his revenge.
When the old man saw that everyone was still hesitant or not, he said: If you don’t believe it, you can go in and take a look. There are still a lot of meat that smells of urine now.
As soon as this said, everyone coaxed and rushed towards the shop.
The butcher looked at the old man coldly, not understanding why this man was kind to revenge. The old man's expression did not change at all, so he followed him in.
A man stood in front of a piece of meat, sniffed, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: It really smells like urine, Zhang Laoba, is this what you do? Tell us to eat the meat you pissed?
When everyone heard this, they exploded because others also smelled the smell of urine on other meats.
Zhang Butcher was also stupid. He has never done it before. Why is this happening?
When he looked at the old man, the old man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The butcher immediately understood that it must have been done by the old man.
But the butcher is still stunned and doesn't understand why the old man does this?
Everyone was indignant. Seeing that the butcher refused to answer, they simply threw all the meat on the ground. The butcher shop was almost demolished.
Seeing this, the old man packed up his things and left directly. The butcher looked at the devastated butcher was stunned. At this moment, he still didn't understand what was going on. He obviously did a good deed and saved the old man, but the old man actually repaid his butcher's kindness, which made him smash the butcher's shop.
is not just that. From now on, his business has been completely ruined, and no one will come to him to buy meat. This is the most fatal thing.
In annoyance, there was only sigh. This matter became a household name in the town for a moment.
As expected, the next day, no one came to him to buy meat. The business did not plummet, but died directly.
Although my wife is virtuous, she can't help but complain: The head of the family, you said you should have received good rewards, but why did she save a ungrateful wolf? This is a good thing. Not to mention our business, how can we live in the future?
The butcher was also upset when he heard this. After all, it would be impossible for him to pursue the profession of butcher again. Not only was he unable to do this, but his reputation was bad, and he would probably be affected by others.
is really a feeling of no accident.
Just like that, for three consecutive days, there was really no one in the butcher shop, and the meat was smelly, so I simply closed the butcher shop.
Originally, those restaurants and restaurants would ask him to help kill pigs and sheep. This time, he didn't even have such an errand. In an instant, the butcher fell into a desperate situation. Fortunately, his family had money, otherwise, he would really not be able to live.
After more than ten days, the butcher recovered and said to his wife: Don't worry! Even if I don’t become a butcher, I won’t starve to death. I will go out to be a coolie!
After hearing this, my wife advised her, but after thinking about it, she still left her alone. Although she still had extra money at home, she only had to go in and out, which ordinary people couldn't stand.
The butcher changed his clothes, opened the door, and prepared to go out.
It was also a coincidence. An old Taoist priest passed by here and saw him. The old Taoist priest was stunned in place, looked at him for a while, and said curiously: Oh! Why are you not dead yet?
Hearing this, the butcher was stunned, then got angry, and said: Please don’t speak nonsense!
But this old Taoist priest ignored it. After looking at him, he murmured: It shouldn't be! I deserved to die more than ten days ago, how could I live to this day?
The butcher quickly asked, and the old Taoist priest said: It was God's will before. If I said it, the consequences would be serious. Now that you have escaped this disaster, I can talk about it. When I first met you, you were indeed dying, but now it has disappeared. It seems that you are full of red light and you will live for decades. But where is this problem?
Seeing the old Taoist priest like this, the butcher hesitated and told him about the old man framed him. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest suddenly became enlightened and laughed: You have met a noble person. It seems that you have to thank that person.
The butcher was puzzled, and the old Taoist priest said: You killed too many animals and were cruel in methods, so those few days were your death period. Unexpectedly, the old man framed you and completely destroyed your business. In this way, the source of your evil deeds disappeared and the matter was alleviated. It seems that you should thank the old man!
At this moment, a child came in with an envelope and shouted: Uncle Eight! An old man asked me to send you a letter.
The butcher took the envelope, took out the letter paper and looked at it, and his face changed immediately.
After a long time, the butcher sighed: So that's it! It seems that I was wrongly blamed the old man.
It turned out that on the night the old man came to the town, that is, the alley in the butcher's house, the old man was sick and leaning against the wall to prepare to go to bed, he heard the two of them talking.
These two people should not be human, they are here to seek their lives. The person who was asked for his life was this butcher. He said that his methods were vicious and killed countless lives, and his life was only a few days.
When the old man heard this, he didn't care. Who would have thought that he was rescued by the butcher the next day. Thinking that such a good person as the butcher was about to die, the old man became wise in a hurry and simply ruined his business. As long as he didn't become a butcher, there might be a turning point.
After seeing it, the Taoist priest smiled and said: You have met a noble person, and it is your kindness that saved your life!
The story is over!
The editor said: The butcher killed too many lives and should have died, but because of his kindness, he saved the old man. The old man happened to hear that he was about to die, so he used his means to save his life. This is the reward for goodness.
