Xu Da lost his father when he was young and lived with his mother Lin for many years. Because Xu Da is kind and kind, and the things she sells are relatively cheap, many people like to buy things with her.

In Xiaohuang Village, there is a shopkeeper Xu Da. Xu Da lost his father when he was young and lived with his mother Lin for many years.

When Xu Da grew up, he became a scavenger in order to make a living, selling goods on the street every day.

Because Xu Da is kind and kind, and the things she sells are relatively cheap, many people like to buy things with her.

At noon that day, Xu Dazheng was selling goods on the street when he saw an old man not far away beating an old cow with a willow branch, which caused pain all over the cow's body.

But Lao Niu still stood motionless, like a child who had gone astray, as if he could not feel the pain of the whipping at all.

Xu Da was very confused when he saw this scene. Generally speaking, it can be said that any domestic animal will definitely run away with a slight whip, because they are also in pain, but why doesn't the old cow in front of me run away? Isn’t this self-knowledge?

Curious Xu walked up to Daisy and saw that Lao Niu's eyes were already filled with tears. Every time the old man spanked her, she was trembling slightly, and it was obviously very painful.

Seeing how pitiful the old cow was, Xu Da said: Old man, why do you keep beating it? You know, even though it is an animal, it still hurts.

"Little brother, please stop meddling. This is my cow. I can kill it if I want. I have raised it since I was a child. Now it is old and can no longer work, so I want to kill it and give it to the butcher in exchange for money, but it refuses to leave. Do you think it should be beaten?" the old man said angrily.

After hearing this, Xu Da felt even more sorry for Lao Niu. He worked hard for his master all his life, but he ended up like this. Really sad!

"Old Niu, although I feel sorry for you, this is your life." Xu Da reached out and touched the cow's head and said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Da finished speaking, Lao Niu suddenly leaned forward on his knees and knelt down towards Xu Da.

Seeing Lao Niu like this, Xu Da felt even more sorry for Lao Niu. After thinking for a while, Xu Da pulled the old cow up with force, and then said to the old man: "Old man, this old cow has to be sold no matter what, but can you sell it to me?"

"You? Do you really want to buy it? Okay, whoever sells it and who doesn't, please accept the ten pieces of silver." The old man stretched out his hand and said.

Looking at the old man's outstretched hand, Xu Da suddenly smiled slyly, because he didn't have ten pieces of silver on him at the time, not even five dollars.

After thinking about it, Xu Da said: "How about this old man? My home is not far away. Wait for me and I will go home and get some money for you. How about that?"

"Okay, hurry up. I'll wait for you for a while. Hurry up. If you are slow, I will leave." When the old man

Xu Da heard the words, he nodded, put the goods aside, let the old man follow, and then hurried home.

Regardless of his mother's explanation, Xu Da took out ten pieces of silver from the jar where he kept his savings, and then ran out.

The old man took the silver, immediately handed the cow rope to Xu Dale happily, and then left.

Looking at the cow rope in his hand, Xu Da thought for a while, then untied the rope and put it away. Xu Da looked at the old cow and said, "Old cow, I believe you are alive. This is also fate. We met today. Now I have untied the rope that bound you. You are free. You can choose to go alone or with me." After that, Director Xu took his things and went home.

Hearing a bang behind him, he turned his head and glanced at Lao Niu who was following him. Xu Da smiled unconsciously.

When he got home, Xu Da saw his mother sitting outside enjoying the sun. After thinking about it, he honestly told his mother about buying an old cow.

Xu Da originally thought that her mother would scold her. After all, the old cow she bought was useless because the old cow had no work to do at home. Xu Da had already been prepared to be scolded. His mother's meal is ready.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mrs. Lin did not scold Xu Da, but smiled and said: "Well, you did the right thing. Since you did that, it proves that you are a good person... Dear people, this also proves that this old cow is related to our family. From now on, we will put it outside without tying a rope, and I can find feed for it every day. "

Hearing this, Xu Da laughed happily. Lao Niu seemed to understand what Lin said. He walked to Lin's hand and licked it, making Lin laugh.

In this way, Lao Niu lived with the Xu family. As long as she lay outside, basking in the sun and eating grass every day, her life would be very happy.

That night, Xu Dazheng and Mrs. Lin were having dinner, and Mrs. Lin suddenly said: "Son, you don't want to sell anything tomorrow. Aunt Tuolin has told you about marriage and will marry you tomorrow. ♂ Xu Da knew that this was the day that his mother had been waiting for. I had been waiting for a long time, so he said, "Good mother, it all depends on my mother."

Seeing her son like this, Lin was very pleased, thinking that after her son got married and had children, she would be able to see her long-dead husband in a hundred years.

The next day, the matchmaker Aunt Lin brought a girl. She was thick-waisted and beautiful, but she spoke very arrogantly.

immediately sat down and looked around everyone in the Xu family. After looking around, he said slowly: "Although your family is a bit poor, it is not so poor that when the mice come, it will cry and walk away." Although he is not very satisfied, it is nothing. It's just that I, Chen Feng, have a small request that needs to be completed. There is no need to say more. If you have no problem, we can arrange the marriage as soon as possible. "Well, girl, tell me, what do you want?" If we can do it, we will definitely be satisfied, but girl, you have also seen the situation of our family, I hope you can understand me more. "Lin said with a smile.

Xu Da felt very uncomfortable when he saw this. For some reason, Chen Feng came to their house. He felt a little disgusted with Chen Feng because Chen Feng exposed himself all the time, whether it was words, deeds or behavior. Their nobility, contempt and belittlement.

But Xu Da knew very well that his mother had always hoped that he could get married as soon as possible, so he could not deny his mother's face at this moment and could only sit aside and say nothing.

Seeing Mrs. Lin agreed, Chen Feng raised his lips and said, "My request is actually very simple. I want one of your cows to be my betrothal gift. "It's the same thing. I don't want a live cow, but a slaughtered cow."

Hearing this, Xu Da looked embarrassed because his family really couldn't spare any extra money to buy a cow.

Not only did Xu Da look puzzled, Lian Lin also had a bitter look on his face after hearing this request, because he knew very well how much savings his family had.

Just when Lin Xu was in trouble, Chen Feng thought for a moment and said: Forget it, look at you, you can't buy a strong cow with money. If that's the case, then I'll take a step back and say, didn't I just see a cow in your yard? Even if he is Lao Niu, to avoid rumors, neighbors will say that Chen Feng is unreasonable. "

Hearing this, Mother Lin struggled for a moment. After thinking about it, Mrs. Lin had to respond: "Okay, we will definitely do it. We will choose a good day to slaughter the cow and deliver it. "

" No need, it will be fine tomorrow. We will handle the matter as soon as possible so that the elderly on both sides can feel at ease. ASAP. "Chen Feng said forcefully.

After hearing this, Lin's mother thought for a while and agreed.

Seeing Lin's agreement, the matchmaker also beamed with joy and immediately said: "Haha, everyone is really happy. This child Chen Feng is good at everything, kind and hard-working. She will definitely be a good girl in the future. "A good wife, serve Xu Da well, and respect her good mother-in-law."

Hearing this, Lin finally showed a smile on her face. After all, this was the moment she had been waiting for.

Seeing Mrs. Lin like this, the Marriage Council said: In this case, I'd better send Miss Chen Feng back first. Chen Feng hasn't entered the house yet, for fear of attracting gossip. "

After the matchmaker finished speaking, she pulled Chen Feng and left, but when she left, Chen Feng still looked arrogant and disdainful. Even the matchmaker saw this and gently pulled Chen Feng's sleeves, and Chen Feng restrained himself a little.

Seeing that Chen Feng and the others had left, Xu Da thought for a long time and said softly: "Mom, what do you think of Chen Feng? I'm sorry that I can't do it. To be honest, this child is not very satisfied. I'm afraid that if she really marries into this Chen Feng family, our family's life will be difficult in the future."

After hearing this, Lin sighed deeply and said, "Son Son, I know you better than your mother. Your mother has already seen the dissatisfaction on your face, but you have to know that it is already difficult to finally marry the girl to our family. When Chen Feng gets married, we will treat him well. I believe he will change. After all, people's hearts are long-lasting. "

"Mom, I know what you said, but I really can't do anything to Lao Niu, I can't."

Seeing her son like this, Lin's mother walked to Xu Da, touched Xu Da's head with her hand, and then said helplessly: "Mom knows, but you can't do anything about it, mom. Save my mother's life, my mother's biggest wish is to see you marry and have children." After saying that, Lin shed tears.

Hearing this, Xu Darui walked out of the house, took a big knife from the side and walked to Lao Niu. He touched Lao Niu's head with his hand. Xu Darui walked out of the house and said, "Old Niu, it's so embarrassing. I bought you back a few days ago, so I had to take your life. I will definitely give it back to you in the next life." After saying that, Xu Da Rui knelt down towards Lao Niu and hit him three times on the head.

stood up, took a deep breath, Xu Da raised the big knife and was about to chop off the old cow's neck.

The old cow was startled. When he said this, he suddenly bent his front knees and knelt down. Facing Xu Da, crystal tears fell from his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Xu Da also softened his heart. The hand holding the knife suddenly softened, and the knife slipped from his hand, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Looking at the old cow kneeling on the ground, Xu Da couldn't bear it anymore. He sat up, shook the cow's head, and cried loudly.

There is an old woman on one side and an old cow on the other. He really didn't know how to choose. As the saying goes, loyalty and filial piety have been a dilemma since ancient times!

This scene was completely seen by Lin Shi. Wiping her tears, Lin Shi walked to Xu Da's side, patted Xu Da's shoulder with her hand, and then said: "Sir, in this case, forget it, I don't want my mother-in-law here. When our family is rich, my mother will find someone to talk to you about marriage." Xu Daxi burst into tears and said: "Thank you for your understanding. Don't worry, mom. I will definitely make money in the future, and then I will marry my mother-in-law as soon as possible."

"Haha, okay, mom is waiting. I hope that day will come soon. Mom believes in you, but If that's the case, then go to Aunt Lin's house now, and then tell me directly about this matter. My family is poor, and I'm afraid I won't be worthy of other girls. Remember, you must be polite to Aunt Lin, don't insult her, after all, this matter is our fault, and it is us who broke the promise." Lin demanded.

"Okay mom, I'm leaving now." After saying that, Director Xu ran away.

Mr. Lin was worried and sat in the yard waiting for his son to come back. At this time, Lao Niu stood beside Mrs. Lin and continued to rub her. How can I plead with Mrs. Lin in front of Mrs. Lin?

After a long time, Xu Da finally came back, but at this time Xu Da's face was full of anger.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Lin knew that something unpleasant had happened to her son this time, so she asked Xu Da why.

"Huh, Mom, you know we were almost deceived. When I went to Aunt Lin's house just now, I saw Aunt Lin and Feng Chen whispering in the room. I was curious and hid outside the door." I listened, but I didn't expect to hear some disgusting words. Chen Feng is here to get married. She discussed it with Aunt Lin. After sending the cow over, each person gets half of the food. A few days after Chen Feng got married, they deliberately started a quarrel with us, and then asked me to divorce her and let them raise a cow for nothing. Xu Da said angrily.

"Ah! My son, is there such a thing? I'm afraid you heard it right. Aunt Lin has some relationship with our family. How could she do such a thing to hurt us?" Lin Wenyan said with a look of disbelief.

"Mom, that's what it is. It's precisely because Aunt Lin knows everything about our family and knows that our family has no strength and power. Even if we suffer a loss, I can't do anything to them. That's why she colluded with Chen Feng to deceive us." Xu Da said, and then punched the tree. , full of anger.

Seeing her son like this, Lin also believed this ridiculous thing. After a while, Lin comforted herself: "Okay, don't be angry, we should be happy. Fortunately, we found out in time, otherwise, we would have really fallen into the trap they set. "After saying that, Lin walked into the house tremblingly.

From then on, Mrs. Lin never found anyone to talk to Xu Da. Xu Da picked up the goods as usual every day and then sold them on the streets.

One day, Xu Dazheng was carrying goods through a dense forest when he suddenly heard a cry for help coming from deep in the forest.

After hearing the sound, Xu Dalian quickly placed the goods on the ground, then took out a hammer from the box and followed the sound.

After walking a few steps, he saw a woman sitting on the ground not far away. About five meters away from the woman, a white tiger slowly approached the woman with its mouth wide open.

Seeing the white tiger getting closer and closer to her, the woman was frightened and could only keep screaming to relieve her worries. in fear.

When the woman's life was hanging by a thread, Xu Da held an ax and walked through the dense grass, slowly approaching the white tiger.

Bai Hu didn't know whether he was too excited or something, and didn't notice Xu Da's approach at all.

When he was about two feet away from the white tiger, Xu Da flew towards the white tiger and chopped off the white tiger with a hammer. Tiger's head.

Bai Hu didn't pay attention for a moment and was immediately struck by Xu Da, and blood flowed out immediately.

In pain, Bai Hu also became angry at Xu Da. After a tiger roar, he quickly ran towards Xu Da, and then the tiger claws knocked him to the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Da quickly stepped aside and slashed at Bai Hu's eyes with his knife again. .

was stabbed twice by Xu Da. Bai Hu was furious, but he was helpless and couldn't even stand firmly.

Seeing Bai Hu at a disadvantage, Xu Daquan would not let go of this opportunity. When Bai Hu wasn't paying attention, he picked up the knife and ran forward. After a few bites, the white tiger immediately fell to the ground and died. Of course he wouldn't survive. .

smells strong in the air The strong smell of blood made Xu Da scream in his heart. He quickly helped the woman beside him and fled from the dense forest.

The two of them fled all the way to a safe place before stopping to take a breath. At this time, Xu Da also knew the woman's identity.

The female name is Yan Niang. Due to a severe drought in her hometown, she and her parents fled to the south.

Unexpectedly, on the way to escape, Yan Niang In the end, her parents did not survive and starved to death on the way, leaving Yan Niang to survive alone.

Yan Niang was alone and had no relatives, so she could only run around aimlessly all day long. She passed by here today because she was too hungry and wanted to look for food in the dense forest. Unexpectedly, she met a white tiger.

Knowing that Yan Niang had nowhere to live, Xu Da couldn't help feeling sorry for Yan Niang, so he invited Yan Niang to stay at his house temporarily. Make plans for later.

Yan Niang saw that Xu Da did not look like a bad person. When Xu Da rescued her from the white tiger, Xu Da's heroic appearance was deeply imprinted in her heart. She thought about it and thanked Xu Da, and then Yan Niang went to Xu's house with Xu Da.

After learning about Yan Niang’s experience, Lin felt very sorry, so she said to Yan Niang: “Yan Niang, you can live here with peace of mind and regard this as your own home. Auntie has never had a daughter in her life. "If you are willing, Auntie really wants to recognize you as my goddaughter."

Yan Niang was filled with emotion after hearing this, and couldn't help but shed tears. Then she hugged Lin and cried loudly: "Mom..."

"Okay, okay, good daughter, I have a daughter too, I have a daughter too, haha, Yan Niang, don't worry, my future mother will treat you well. Just wait a little longer. Mom will boil water for you now, wash it, and remove the mold from everything on your body. " Lin said with tears of joy, and then went to the kitchen to boil water for Yan Niang.

When Yan Niang was washing, she immediately stared at Mrs. Lin and Xu Da, because although Yan Niang was very thin, she was very good-looking, with bright eyes and bright teeth, red lips and white teeth, just like a fairy.

Yan Niang lived in the Xu family like this. Yan Niang was very virtuous and deeply loved. Xu Da and Lin had a good relationship. The Xu family also had Yan Niang, and life began to get better.

Half a year later, Mrs. Lin saw that her son and Yan Niang were in love, but they did not break off their relationship because of the same love, but Mrs. Lin saw every move they made. Under Lin's guidance, Xu Da thought for a long time and finally plucked up the courage to confess to Yan Niang.

Faced with Xu Da's confession, Yan Niang was very shy, but she still smiled and nodded in agreement.

After Lin chose a good and auspicious day, she began to prepare for the wedding of Xu Da and Yan Niang.

The night before the wedding, Xu Dazheng was sleeping soundly, but he heard someone calling him outside the house. When he went out to take a look, he was surprised to find that the person calling him was an old cow in the yard.

Looking at the master standing in front of him, Lao Niu said: "Master, I recently smelled the smell of a white tiger near our house. It must be that the soul of the white tiger has been lingering near our house. After death, tomorrow will be your wedding day. Do not take off your clothes on your wedding night to avoid accidents. "

Hearing this, Xu Da suddenly remembered something, and then he became confused. How did Lao Niu know that he had killed the white tiger?

Xu Da was about to ask when he suddenly woke up. It turned out that everything was just a dream.

The next day, Xu Dahe and Yan Niang's wedding banquet was extremely simple. They invited relatives and friends to have a light meal.

Looking at Yan Niang in the bridal chamber at night, Xu Da couldn't help but swallow his saliva, because Yan Niang was so beautiful.

Mother, Xu Da was suddenly distracted. He had long forgotten what Lao Niu had said to him in the dream. After blowing out the candles, Xu Da fell on the bed. The newlyweds were like thunderbolts from the sky, fanning the earth's fire, turning the luan into the phoenix, making life happy.

The room was full of life, but there was a person standing quietly in front of the room. It was Mrs. Lin at first glance.

When Lin heard something moving in the room, he raised the corner of his mouth with an evil smile, and then his eyes widened.

With a "bang" sound, Lin kicked open the door and shouted at the marriage bed: "What a pair of adulterers and whores, tonight is the day you two die. "

When Yan Niang heard the sound, she screamed in fright. She picked up the quilt and wrapped herself up. Xu Da quickly got dressed and lit a candle in the dark.

Looking at his mother in front of him, Xu Da was filled with doubts, but before he could speak, he saw his mother's shadow. The child was reflected in the candlelight, Xu Da felt a sudden chill on his spine, and his mother's shadow turned and turned out to be the shadow of a tiger.

Lin seemed very proud when she saw Xu Daleng standing still, and hurriedly rushed towards Xu Daleng with all four limbs.

Although she didn't understand what her mother-in-law meant, But when she saw her husband frozen in place, Yan Niang panicked and quickly pushed Xu Da aside, successfully dodging Lin's punch.

Xu Da was shocked when he saw the chair under his mother's hand shattering instantly. If Yan Niang hadn't pushed him, he might be dead now.

After Xu Da woke up, he ran around in the room and wanted to fight, but Lin didn't give him a chance and kept attacking him.

Although Xu Da was agile and avoided Lin's fatal blow every time, at this time he was also confused and covered in injuries.

Just when Director Xu's life and death were at stake, an old cow mooed in front of the house, and then the old cow ran over.

When Xu Da saw the rope on Lao Niu, he felt desperate because he had never tied a rope on Lao Niu, but he thought today was his big day. So he tied a rope to the old cow, but almost committed suicide.

When Lin saw Lao Niu, she seemed to be very afraid of Lao Niu, and her whole body began to tremble.

But after the tiger's mouth roared out, Lin was still afraid and launched an attack on Lao Niu.

When Lin Shi attacked him, Lao Niu lowered his head and hit him directly.

At the moment when Lao Niu bumped into Old Mrs. Lin, a tiger shadow suddenly flew out from behind Old Mrs. Lin.

Seeing this, the old cow took a big step and sucked the white tiger into his mouth.

saw Lao Niu several times, swallowed his throat and left the house.

Seeing Lin Shi fainted on the ground, Xu Da quickly carried Lin Shi to her room, and then fed Lin Shi hot water.

After a while, Lin slowly woke up, but forgot everything that had just happened.

When his mother woke up, Xu Da's heart that had been hanging on him finally let go. Thinking of what happened now, Xu Da was still a little scared, so he walked into the yard, but Lao Niu was no longer there.

However, Xu Da was not surprised when he saw this scene, because Lao Niu went out alone in the middle of the night, then went to the river to drink water and eat grass, and came back early in the morning.

returned to the room and saw Yan Niang still looking scared, Xu Dalian quickly comforted her.

Accompanied by Xu Da, Yan Niang gradually fell asleep, and Xu Da also fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Dagang fell asleep, he dreamed of Lao Niu again. In the dream, the old cow was floating in the sky on auspicious clouds, majestic.

"Master, I was originally a sacred cow in the sky, but one day I ate Laojun's fairy grass and fell into the mortal world. That's enough, I have returned to heaven. Master, you are a good person, and you will be rewarded in the future. I hope you will do more good deeds in the future and accumulate virtue to protect yourself." Looking at Xu Da in front of him, the old cow spoke in human language again.

Hearing this, Xu Da wanted to ask something, but he woke up just as he opened his mouth. Thinking of the old cow in his dream, Xu Da couldn't help but laugh.

One year after their marriage, Yan Niang gave birth to a fat son for Xu Da, named Xu Yishan, which means that Xu Shan will act upright and do good deeds in the future.

Xu Yishan has been very smart since he was a child. As his name suggests, he is kind and gentle.

Many years later, Xu Yishan became a Jinshi in high school and was appointed as the county magistrate of Suzhou City. After becoming an official, Xu Yishan kept his parents' teachings in mind since he was a child.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Feng was too old to get married, so he had to marry a lazy man. His insults and beatings led to a miserable life.

Xu Da has always kept in mind the teachings of Lao Niu’s dream in the past. He did countless good deeds and accumulated good deeds throughout his life, and finally died at the age of 108.
