When the Song Dynasty , there was a carpenter named Sun Jiumu, who was skilled and well-known in the near future. Some young students with high qualifications came to the door to apprenticeship, but they were all politely rejected by him, but they took several seemingly dull people to their disciples.
People don’t understand why, and in their spare time, they asked the reason. Sun Jiumu told everyone about the past when he was young and revealed the reasons behind it.
Sun Jiumu was born in an ordinary family. His parents died of illness one after another at the age of twelve. His grandfather had a friend named Du Gui, from Xiangzhou. He was a famous carpenter. Under the entrusted by his grandfather, Du Gui took Sun Jiumu as his disciple and took him to Xiangzhou.
In a blink of an eye, ten years passed, and Sun Jiumu returned from studying. Under the management of his grandfather, he married a good woman named Zhang. The second year of his marriage, Zhang gave birth to a son, and in the winter of that year, his grandfather passed away.
Sun Jiumu has a very high understanding and has learned the true teachings of his master. He soon became famous. By the age of thirty, he had become famous and many wealthy families invited him to work.
became famous and life became rich. Sun Jiumu began to be ashamed and had high requirements for wages and benefits, but his skills were indeed superb and worthy of such treatment, so the employer had nothing to say.
In the spring of this year, a man named Wang built a new house and asked him to be in charge of carpenters. Wang knew his personality and arranged three meals a day more generously, and Sun Jiumu was very satisfied.
A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the mansion has reached its final stage. On this day, Mr. Wang went out to do business and would come back in two days. Before leaving, he specifically reminded the chef at home that the craftsmen should not be careless in their meals and everything would be the same as usual.
I don’t know if it was forgotten or intentional, but at dinner that day, the chef cooked one less dish. It was originally! The Wang family is already very good to the craftsmen. Besides, one less dish is not a big deal, it is completely enough to eat, but Sun Jiumu quit and took the opportunity to get angry. The dissuasion of other craftsmen is not effective.
Wang Yuanwai’s son is named Wang Zheng, and he was apologized to Sun Jiumu and ordered the chef to make up for the dishes.
Who knew that Sun Jiumu was unreasonable and muttered endlessly. Wang Zheng didn't care. The housekeeper Wang Qi couldn't stand it and said angrily: "My master is kind and kind. He asked you to work. The treatment is generous. But if there is a slight mistake, you have to be unreasonable. Besides, my young master has expressed his apology and has been muttering endlessly. Aren't you a craftsman? What's so arrogant? Is it shameless to give me."
Generally, craftsmen work for people depends on the boss's face. Wang Qi's words are nothing, but Sun Jiumu couldn't accept it. He felt that he had lost face in front of everyone, so he held a grudge.
Wang Zheng and Wang Qi didn't take this seriously. After Wang Yuanwai came back, he did not tell him.
Sun Jiumu was narrow-minded and took revenge. He carved a groove on the main beam of the Wang Family Hall, and placed a wooden tiger with runes engraved inside. This was what he learned when he first learned about his master's collection of Luban Book .
A few days later, the mansion was completed. Wang Yuanwai was very satisfied. On the original wage, he also gave some rewards to each other and set up a banquet to entertain everyone.
It was almost the hour when I was full of wine and meals. Some craftsmen far away from home chose to live in the Wang family courtyard. They went home early the next morning. Sun Jiumu was more than 20 miles away from home. He wanted to go back quickly, so he said goodbye to everyone, rode his donkey , and rushed home.
halfway through the journey, and it was dark, Sun Jiumu was not in a hurry. Anyway, the road was very peaceful, and there was moonlight tonight, and it was the same as when it was morning and evening. He touched the strings of copper coins in the bag, and was happy, and couldn't help but hum minor tune .
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the always obedient donkey suddenly pricked his ears, and then ran wildly. Sun Jiumu pulled the reins hard. The donkey raised his front hooves in pain, leaving Sun Jiumu and the things on his back, and ran into the woods and disappeared.
This time, Sun Jiumu fell heavily, and after a while, he got up, he stood up, twisted his waist, and touched his whole body, and found that he had not suffered internal injuries, but his elbows, knees and forehead were scratched.
The foot strength was gone, so he had to pack up the tools and put them in the backpack, carry them on his back with the zipper, and walk back.Just now, the donkey fell down and fell to his knees. He felt a little painful when he walked, so he had to walk slowly.
. I don’t know why? Sun Jiumu felt that his backpack was getting heavier and heavier. When he was still four or five miles away from home, he was overwhelmed. He put down his backpack and opened it and saw that there were the tools inside.
"Hey! I'm so evil? Just these things, why do you think you're carrying an adult? You might be too tired. Take a break before leaving." Sun Jiumu finished thinking, and found a pile of hays to sit down.
After a quarter of an hour, he felt that he had recovered his strength and continued to rush. His backpack seemed to be lighter, but it was like a child carrying him. He was almost home, and he had no time to take care of it. He finally arrived at the doorstep, and it was half way through the hour.
"Dongdongdongdong" knocked on the door a few times, and my wife's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
"It's me, open the door quickly." Sun Jiumu replied.
Hearing the voice of her husband, Zhang quickly went to open the yard gate. Sun Jiumu put the tool in the side room and carried the bag into the room.
The yard was dark just now, and Zhang did not see her husband's face. When he entered the house, he turned around and took a few steps back, and almost knocked over the teapot on the square table. She pointed to her husband and said tremblingly, "Boss, you...you...why do you look like this?"
"What's wrong? It's stupid, it scares you." Sun Jiumu was a little surprised.
At this time, the three children also walked out of the inner room. The eldest son said "Ah!" and the younger daughter cried in fear. The second son was more courageous and said timidly: "Dad, your mouth is swollen and your eyes are bleeding on your forehead, and your face is pale, just like Grandma Li said next door."
"Go, don't talk nonsense. I just fell off the donkey's back and wiped my skin. Wash your face and apply some injury medicine. You guys hurry up and go back to the house to sleep." Sun Jimu said.
"Oh, I know." The three children responded and turned back to the room.
Zhang also calmed down at this time. She went to the stove to burn some hot water, washed her husband's face and burned her feet, and then took out the medicine to apply it to her husband.
Sun Jiumu was really tired. She climbed onto the kang and lay down, and fell asleep for a moment. Zhang looked at her husband's appearance, and she was still a little scared and was not at ease all night.
That night, Sun Jiumu had nightmares, sometimes dreaming of falling into the abyss, sometimes dreaming of being chased by wild beasts, and sometimes dreaming of being hacked and killed.
When he opened his eyes the next morning, Sun Jiumu felt a splitting headache and tinnitus, and it was like a wild beast that kept roaring in his ears. He was unable to get up, and it was very uncomfortable.
lying until noon got much better. Sun Jiumu thought he was tired, so he didn't care. Unexpectedly, at night, he was having nightmares again. He still got up the next day, with headaches, tinnitus and fatigue.
The following days are like this every day. In the afternoon, Zhang hired many doctors, but they were helpless. After more than twenty days, Sun Jiumu was tortured and suffered a lot, and he lost weight.
On the afternoon of that day, Master Du Gui's youngest son Du Lun suddenly came. He was not too surprised by Sun Jiumu's changes, but sighed: "Little junior brother, my father really loves you. Even I, a son, envied me!"
Hearing this, Sun Jiumu's eyes turned red. He followed his master at the age of twelve. For ten years, Master has treated him as much as his own flesh and blood. Now he is over 80 years old.
Duran then said, "My father has been dreaming about you recently. He is very worried, so he asked me to come and take a look and asked me to hand it over to you." After that, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it over.
Sun Jiumu opened it and saw a broken saw blade. Seeing the saw blade, Sun Jiumu seemed to suddenly wake up. He knelt down on the ground and said to the sky: "Master, my disciple knows that he is wrong. Don't worry, I will correct it and will not make any more from now on."
Looking at Dulun and his wife's strange eyes, Sun Jiumu sighed and told the reason.
When Du Gui learned from his master, he could see that Sun Jiumu was a little narrow-minded. On that day, the two sawed wood. Sun Jiumu was distracted and turned off, causing the saw blade to bend and break.
Duran picked up the saw blade and said, "Sawing wood is like a human being. It must be straightened, otherwise it will break like this saw blade. You have good character and high qualifications. You will definitely surpass me in the future, but you are not strong enough and prone to anger. This is very dangerous. You must remember that in the future, you must set your own home and work for others. You must not do anything against your conscience, otherwise you will be like this saw blade, which will not only hurt others but also destroy yourself."
Sun Jiumu just held the saw blade. Thinking of the master's teachings back then, he suddenly understood why he had this strange disease.
Durun's family has important things, so he left early the next morning. After Durun left, Sun Jiumu called his neighbor Erniu, asked him to put on a donkey cart, and took him to Wang Yuanwai's house.
After seeing Wang Yuanwai, Sun Jiumu knelt down with a plop, told him what he had done that day, and asked Wang Yuanwai to punish him.
Wang Yuanwai and others were very surprised. Wang Qi said angrily, "You thief, the young master has apologized that day, but you are still holding a grudge and plotting against my master. It's really abominable. No wonder you have never been at home since you moved into the new house. It turns out that it was the evil you did. Master, this craftsman is vicious and takes him to meet the official."
As Wang Qi said, since the Wang family moved into the new house, they would hear the low howls of wild beasts late at night, which made the whole family uneasy. In the past few days, Wang Yuanwai is considering moving back to the old house. No wonder Wang Qi is so angry.
Wang Yuanwai was kind-hearted and did not make things difficult for Sun Jiucheng. Sun Jiucheng was ashamed and climbed up the main beam with his sick body, took off the wooden tiger, then kowtowed to Wang Yuanwai a few times, and said goodbye.
Maybe it is really related to this matter. On the night of Sun Jiucheng's return home, he slept very soundly. His head hurts a little early the next morning, but his tinnitus disappeared, and he got better and better. On the fifth day, his condition recovered.
The same is true for Wang Yuanwai's family. On the night when Sun Jiucheng left, there were no strange sounds and he returned to his normal life.
Not long after, Sun Jiucheng took his wife and children to Xiangzhou to visit his master Du Gui. Although the old man was eighty-five years old, he was in good health and could still do carpentry work. Everyone was reunited, as if he had returned to the wonderful days of that year. (The story is over)
[Written at the end]
People live for a lifetime and cannot do evil things, let alone harm others. Harmfulness means harming themselves.
Sun Jiumu was narrow-minded and plotted to murder the Wang family for trivial matters. The bad luck had already begun since he was left behind by a donkey on the night he returned home.
Will God punish God if he has done evil things? No one can tell whether he will punish him, but those who do evil have psychological shadows. Sun Jiumuye has nightmares because of his uneasy conscience.
Du Gui is a wise man, very accurate in judging people. The old man is also a kind person. He has always been thinking about Sun Jiumu. It is a blessing to have a teacher like this!
