Once upon a time, there was a carpenter named Ge. He was always playing tricks outside. His wife, Tan, had an adulterer with a wanderer in Dangzhuang at home. After a while, the carpenter was furious when he knew about this.

Once upon a time there was a carpenter named Ge who was always playing tricks outside. His wife, Tan, had an adulterer with a wanderer in Dangzhuang at home.

After a while, the carpenter was furious when he knew about this. After a long time, the carpenter made up his mind to catch his wife and the slutty boy on the spot, chopped them up with an axe to relieve their hatred, and then flew away.

On this day, Carpenter Ge finished breakfast and said to Tan: "I have to go out to do my job today and I will not be back in two months. You have to worry more about things inside and outside." After that, he carried the tool box and left.

Walked out of the land and came to a small forest. Carpenter Ge put the box on a big stone, held his head with his hands, and sat on a wooden pier.

He kept thinking about the past. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Tan was sorry for him, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more angry. I saw him full of murderous aura and looked terrible.

He planned to chop the wanderer with an axe first, then grab Tan's hair, ask her heart, tell her to say that she will die without surrender. As long as she says "unyi", she will briskly axe according to the back of her neck, then take out a few money from her jewelry box, run away at night, and become a homeless man, never get married again, and get to the death.

Carpenter Ge was thinking about his thoughts when suddenly he heard footsteps, and a white-haired old man came over from behind the hill. The old man walked up to Carpenter Ge and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

Carpenter Ge said, "I'm going to do carpenter work in other places."

The old man laughed and said, "Brother, are you going to deceive me?"

Carpenter Ge said, "What am I lying to you?"

The old man sighed, nodded, and said, "Well, look at your footprints, you came out of the Zhuangzi in front. ; Look at your face, you are resentful; look at your Douzi, but there is an axe left outside the Douzi, I can conclude that you want to wait until the sun sets, secretly return to the village, take someone else's life, and then escape. "

Carpenter Ge was shocked when he heard the old man's words. He looked at the old man again, and saw that his eyes were bright and extraordinary. He was not an ordinary person, so he shed tears and told him all his misfortune, and vowed to avenge tonight.

The old man heard this and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Since ancient times, a real man cannot avoid his wife and a virtuous son. Since a righteous man ignores his husband's face, why do you have to take her seriously? Take advantage of this and kick a bitch away. What kind of heroes are you a hero who will be like?" After hearing the old man's advice, Carpenter Ge suddenly felt clear-headed and quickly kowtowed to the old man and begged him to point him a bright road. The old man smiled slightly and said, "The road depends on one's own way, how can you rely on others' fingers alone! However, if you really can trust me, I can give you a few words." As he said that, the old man led Carpenter Ge to a ravine with trees and walked into a small thatched hut in a bush.

The old man asked Carpenter Ge in detail about his life experience and what he planned next. Then, he picked up his pen and wrote eight lines of poetry on a piece of paper:

How many autumns have passed since ancient times,

The mind has no long-term thoughts and immediate worries.

The boat arrives at the middle of the river and closes the shore,

is willing to give the flow of silver;

is also paired with the Liu family in Jiangdong,

is making enemies with the villain.

A bucket of sorghum 3,000 meters,

sesame oil cover and do not wash your hair.

Carpenter Ge held this piece of paper in his hand and read it for a long time. Although there were not many people who didn’t know the words, they couldn’t understand the meaning of it, so he asked the old man to tell him. The old man said, "I can't explain it clearly. However, I can believe that you are a person who can listen to good words. I won't say a word."

Carpenter Ge said goodbye to the old man and walked more than ten miles eastward. It was already dark, so he walked slowly to a village and stayed in a small inn.After dinner, he went to the shopkeeper and explained to him what happened to him when he met the old man on the way, and handed the paper to the shopkeeper and asked him to tell him the meaning of these poems.

The shopkeeper took the paper over and after reading it for a long time, he sighed and said, "The old man you met is a big scholar. This man is very knowledgeable, nicknamed Bayue Poetry. He often gives eight-line poems to passers-by, but his poems cannot be explained. Later, people said that he was a crazy person. Some people said that the poems he wrote were all golden and jade words like immortals guided the way. Unfortunately, no one believed it, so he became a reputation as a crazy person." After hearing this, Carpenter Ge deeply believed that the old man was a god, so he asked the shopkeeper to tell him these eight-line poems anyway. The shopkeeper was entangled by him for a long time, so he had to explain it according to his own opinion;

"I have not read much, so I may not be right. The first two lines of this poem have experienced several autumns from ancient times to the present, and have no long-term thoughts and immediate worries. It means that many years have passed since ancient times. If you only look at some things now and do not worry about the future, then he will encounter something worried.

The third and fourth sentences, the boat reaches the river and closes the shore, and is willing to put the silver and give the water flow, so that you can keep a step in doing things, be reasonable and give three points, don't do anything at all, don't feel sorry for money when you are at the critical moment.

The fifth and sixth sentences are also matched with the Liu family in Hongdong, who is making enemies with villains, which means that you have divorced your wife before, and later cross the river, and marry Liu family in Jiangdong. Wife, however, here, a villain was plotting against you, meaning that you should be more careful.

The seventh and eighth sentences are: a bucket of sorghum and three dry rice, and the top of the sesame oil cover should not wash your hair. It means that you will still be poor in the future. The ground is frost, and the sorghum is not produced, and the rice is produced less. At this point, someone has defiled your innocence, so don’t argue for yourself, just like someone has put you in a sap oil, don’t wash it. In short, these eight lines of poetry are to let you understand that in life, good fortune and fortune are impermanent. If you encounter any problems, you should think twice. With three thoughts, you can turn bad luck into good fortune. Without these three thoughts, you may be extremely happy and sad. "

After listening to this big explanation of the shopkeeper, Ge was very grateful, so he kept these words firmly in his heart.

The next day, Carpenter Ge said goodbye to the shopkeeper and continued to walk east with the box on his back. After walking for only twenty miles, he arrived at the Songhua River and took a passenger ship, intending to go to Xiajiang to make a living. In a blink of an eye, the passenger ship was floating on the riverside. The boatman hung up the sail tent, and the small boat rushed forward like a feather arrow.

Carpenter Ge looked at the river and suddenly remembered two sentences in the old man's poem: "The boat reaches the middle of the river and closes the shore, and I am willing to give the silver to the water." Although the shopkeeper didn't say that, there was clearly this in the eight-line poem, and if you didn't do it, there might be some disaster.

Let’s talk about it again, I’m kind enough to attach it to me, how can I not listen! Without further ado, Carpenter Ge hurriedly waved to the boatman and shouted, "Master Chuan, drive the boat to the east shore!" After hearing this, the shipman replied impatiently, "I am a boat running down the river. Can I just close the shore at will? If you want to go to the east of the river, why not take the ferry boat?"

Carpenter Ge said, "I will give you more money." As he said that, he threw a silver ingot over. When the boatman saw the silver, he dropped over the bow of the ship and drove towards the east bank.

When dozens of passengers on the boat saw that they were all blown up. They all said that there was something important and were in a hurry to go and said nothing that would not let the boatman close the shore. When Carpenter Ge saw this scene, he said in his heart that it was really time to "be willing to give the money to the water", so he said to the passengers, "Don't worry, I have the money." As he said that, he opened the tool box and took out all the dozens of taels of silver, which was a sensation and gave it to everyone.

People got the money in vain and didn't say they were busy. They helped the boatman row the boat in a row in a short while, and the boat leaned against the shore.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly broke out, and the few small boats that were sailing on the middle of the river were all overturned by the wind, and many people were killed. Only a dozen people on the boat that had just been docked were spared from this.Everyone hurriedly surrounded Carpenter Ge and sincerely thanked him for his life-saving gratitude. They returned dozens of taels of silver.

Carpenter Ge arrived in Jiangdong and traveled north and south for more than two months, but still couldn't find a useful person. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. On this day, he came to a wealthy family and sat under a big willow tree to rest in the shade.

I saw a person walking out of the yard. This man was about sixty years old and was fat and was wearing a long robe and leaning on a crutch in his hand. When I looked at him, he saw that this man was quite kind.

While speaking, the man came to the under the willow tree and saw a foreigner sitting under the tree. He saw a tool box next to him. He asked, "Sir, are you a disciple of Luban ?"

Carpenter Ge hurriedly bowed, took two steps back before saying back and forth: "The apprentice just got the axe but couldn't do it. Sorry for the money! Dare you to have a noble surname?"

"Submit Liu, do you have a noble surname?"

"Submit Ge."

went to the gossip. The old man said that he wanted to make an eight-immortal table, so he invited Carpenter Ge to the room. After lunch, the owner pointed the wood to him and explained the size. Carpenter Ge became busy. In just one afternoon, the Eight Immortals table was made, and it was done with a touch of green oil and put it on the ground. After washing his hands, Carpenter Ge said he would go to the home, preparing to go on the road and go to another country.

Liu Dong's family grabbed him and said happily: "Don't be busy. I'll ask you to make an Eight Immortals table, just to test your skills. Now I understand, you have extraordinary skills. I still have a lot of work, enough for you to do it for a year."

It turns out that the Liu Dong's family was a scholar, with a big family and a big career, and is well-known far and wide. He planned to build a new house. He tried all the carpenters in a radius of dozens of miles, but his skills were not good. When he saw the Eight Immortals Table made by Carpenter Ge today, he was really satisfied. At that moment, he made up his mind to hand over the carpenter work of the new house to Carpenter Ge.

A year later, the new house was built, and Liu Dong's family was very satisfied. After the work was finished, Carpenter Ge put away the tools and prepared to say goodbye. He never expected that the boss had already seen him clearly inside and out and was about to betroth his daughter to him!

Needless to say, Carpenter Ge has become the son-in-law of Liu Dong's family. After getting married, the couple has a good relationship. Carpenter Ge is more motivated to do his job.

On that night, Carpenter Ge was working in an erect manner at home. He was squatting on the ground and chopping wood. Suddenly, the lamp bowl was scattered by a cat, and rolled down from the cabinet, and fell on his head. The wife quickly lit another lamp and brought it over to see that her husband's head was covered with sesame oil. She turned around and flipped a basin of water to wash her hair.

At this time, Carpenter Ge suddenly remembered what the old man told him: "Don't wash your hair with sesame oil cover." Another thing about Lenovo crossing the river to avoid death, so he pushed his wife away and said, "You can't wash it, just carry it with you." The wife thought he was playing a childish temper, so she advised him to wash it cleanly, but Carpenter Ge said he didn't let her wash it.

That night, Carpenter Ge was sleeping in a dream and found someone touching his head with his hands twice. He had not yet woken up completely. He suddenly heard his wife screaming, and Carpenter Ge was immediately scared to faint.

When he woke up, his wife was killed, and the kang and the ground was covered with blood. He hurriedly called his father-in-law and mother-in-law and others, and people searched around with lanterns, and the murderer had already run away.

The old scholar reported a case to the county government, and the county official sent Carpenter Ge out of interrogation. Carpenter Ge cried loudly, but couldn't say anything. The county magistrate slowly persuaded him to explain everything he had made since he arrived at the Liu family. When he talked about the oil lamp, it attracted the attention of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate asked the truth, and Carpenter Ge said word by word of the eight lines of poetry written by the old man. The county magistrate recorded all these words and carefully studied them. The county magistrate focused on analyzing the two sentences "A bucket of sorghum and three liters of rice, and the top of the sesame oil should not wash your hair."

He thought to himself that a bucket of sorghum and three liters of rice were naturally due to the poor quality of the food. It is likely that the frost came early and the food was not raised, so there was not much rice produced.So he asked:

"Do you know someone with the surname Mi?"

"Do you know someone with the surname Liang?"

"Do you know someone with the surname Liang?"

"Do you know someone with the surname Liang?"

"Do you know someone with the surname Mi?"

"Do you know someone with the surname Mi?"

"Do you know someone with the surname Mi?"

"Do you know someone with the surname Mi?"

"Do you know someone with the surname Mi?"

"Do you know someone."

asked the county magistrate in the east and asked the other side, but without asking any clues, he announced that he would give up. The next day, the county magistrate asked Carpenter Ge to report the surnames of the entire village to every household. When Carpenter Ge ordered to Lao Kang's house, the county magistrate suddenly asked, "Is there a Lao Qi in the family surnamed Kang?"

"Yes."

"Great!"

"It's great!"

The county magistrate sent someone to take Kang Qi to the lobby. There was no trouble, so Kang Qi admitted the crime of murder. It turned out that Yuan Qi was not a good person, was idle, and was just a little immoral like stealing donkeys and horses. Seeing that Liu Xiucai's daughter was good-looking, he secretly asked a matchmaker to propose marriage to him in the Liu Mansion. Unexpectedly, Carpenter Ge came at this time. Carpenter Ge became the son-in-law of the Liu family, and Kang Qi held a grudge.

That night, he wanted to assassinate Carpenter Ge, and the next step was to ask a matchmaker to go to the Liu family to propose marriage to fulfill his good things. When he was doing the crime, he touched it with his hands and felt it was slippery and thought it was the woman's oily hair, so he didn't start the man, but raised his kitchen knife and chopped the other one. As a result, Carpenter Ge was carrying oil on his head, but his wife was hacked to death.

people have all obtained the evidence, and Kang Qi was beheaded.

Liu Xiucai saw that Carpenter Ge is good-looking and has good skills, so he married another wife for him. From then on, Carpenter Ge became the adopted son of Liu Xiucai and his wife.
