Chapter 57 Shen Xiaoguan One Bird Kills Seven Lives (1)
Birds cause disaster, and it is a pity that seven lives will be killed.Advise the world to learn from it, don't teach your children to be in charge of the family.It is said that in the third year of Xuanhe reign of Emperor Huizong of the Great Song Dynasty, under the Beixin Bridge outside Wulin Gate in Haining County, there was a household with a surname of Shen and a given name of Yu. The family was quite rich.Marry Yan's wife, the couple love each other.She had a single son, named Shen Xiu, who was one year older and never married.His father made a living by weaving pieces of horses.I don't want this Shen Xiu to neglect her duties and her physiology, she only likes to play around and raise thrushes to live.Because his parents cherished his son, they taught him a lesson.The neighbors in the neighborhood gave him a nickname, "Shen Niao'er".At five o'clock every day, I lifted the thrush and ran into the willow forest in the city to drag the thrush, not just for a day.Suddenly to the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the weather is neither warm nor cold, when the flowers are red and the willows are green.That day, Shen Xiuqian got up in the morning, washed up, ate some snacks, and ordered a cage for a thrush that had no competition.This beast: only exists in the sky, the fruit is nothing in the world!Fight him everywhere, he can't fight all the fights, and win hundreds of times.So cherish him very much, like life.Make a golden lacquer cage, brass hooks, Ge Kiln water and food jars, and a green gauze cover, hold it in your hand, swing it, and run straight into the city to drag the thrush into the willow forest.I don't want Shen Xiu to go and die unexpectedly, just like: pigs and sheep enter Zaisheng's house, looking for death step by step.

At that time Shen Xiu raised the thrush and came straight to the willow forest, unexpectedly she came a bit late, all the thrush draggers had dispersed, it was clean and dark, no one came and went.Shen Xiu was alone, hanging the thrush on the willow tree, and called out once.Shen Xiu felt that she was moody and moody, and she was about to go back, except for the cage.I didn't want my stomach to hurt, so I rolled up and squatted on the ground together.It turned out that Shen Xiu had a disease called "Zhuxin Wonton", a "small intestinal hernia", and she often died a little.I must have gotten up earlier that day, but the situation came late again, everyone dispersed, and I was not emotional and bored.This time it was very violent, and fell down by the willow tree, and was unconscious for two hours.You say that things happen by chance, and things happen by chance.One day there was a barrel man named Zhang Gong, who carried a load and went straight through the willow forest, where Chu's family lived.I saw a person in the distance, fell down by the tree, took two steps out of three, and rested his burden near him.Look at Shen Xiu, with a sallow complexion and unconsciousness; there is no belongings around him, only a thrush cage, and this animal screams even more beautifully at this time.So for a moment, when he saw wealth, he wanted to make a living, and thought to himself, "how can I be happy if I earn two cents of silver all day long?"Zhang Gongdao: "It doesn't matter anything else, only this thrush is worth two or three taels of silver." He held it in his hand, but was about to leave.Unexpectedly, Shen Xiu was waking up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Mr. Zhang carrying the cage and trying to get up, so he scolded: "Old Wangba! Where are you going with my thrush?" He has a sharp mouth! I will take it, and if he gets up and rushes, I will suffer from him. If you don’t do it, you don’t stop, it’s bad.” But he went to the bucket and took out a bucket-sharpening knife , hold Shen Xiu down.The knife was fast and powerful, but the other end had already rolled aside.Zhang Gong was also flustered, looking around for fear that someone might bump into him.But he looked up and saw a hollow willow tree, he quickly raised his head and threw it into the tree.Put the knife in the barrel, hang the cage on the pole, and don't go to Chujiatang to make a living. Walk along a smoke path, cross the streets and alleys, and cast a place.Do you think how many lives were killed just because of this thrush?It's exactly: Whispers in the world are heard like thunder in the sky; hearts are betrayed in a dark room, and eyes are like lightning.

At that time, Zhang Gong walked away and thought to himself: "I saw a customer in the inn in Shuli, Huzhou. He often wants to buy insects and ants. Why don't you sell them to him?"It was also a doomed doom in the previous life, but I saw three guests, followed by two younger generations, a total of five people, who were about to pack up the goods and go back, but came in from outside the door. The guests were all from Bianliang, Tokyo.There is a man surnamed Li and named Ji who sells crude medicine.This man used to be good at raising thrushes. When he saw that there were so many thrushes on the bucket, he called, "Mr. Zhang, please take a look." Zhang Gong rested his burden. , the voice is good again, I love it in my heart.Then he asked Zhang Gong, "Are you willing to sell?" At this time, Zhang Gong was eager to get out of trouble, so he said, "Guest officer, how much do you pay?" Gong Zidao started, and said: "I shouldn't care about it, but a lover is like a treasure, so just add some." Then Li Ji took out three silver coins, weighed them, and when he found one or two coins, he said, "That's all right." With Zhang Gong.Zhang Gong took the silver, took a look, put it in his purse in the future, gave the thrush to the guest, said goodbye and left.He said in his mouth: "It's a good thing to lose the root cause of hair loss." I didn't go to the street to do my physiology, and went home all the time, feeling a little unhappy in my heart.It is exactly: if you do evil, you may be punished by heaven and earth, and if you deceive your heart, you will be afraid of ghosts and gods.

It turned out that Zhang Gonggong lived at the foot of Yongjinmen City, with only a wife and an old couple, and no son.When the mother-in-law saw Mr. Zhang coming back, she said, "I didn't move any of the bamboo strips. Why did you come back so early? What's the matter?" Mr. Zhang didn't agree. He took the burden, went to the door to rest, and turned to close the gate.Said: "Grandma, come here, and I will talk to you. That's why I got one or two taels of silver, and I have the right to use it happily with you." The couple were very happy.No problem.But it is said that no one comes and goes in the willow forest. Until the time of the game, two dealers who picked dung passed there.Seeing the headless corpse blocking the ground, he was startled and made a fuss.When Jialinyou in the workshop, there was a commotion for a while.This square applies to this county, and this county applies to the government.The next day, officials and Wu Zuoren were sent to Liuyinli to check that there were no scars on the whole body, but there was no head and no sufferer.The officials replied to the government, and the government dispatched to arrest the murderer.In and out of the city, there was chaos.

But he said that Shen Xiu's family didn't see him back at night, so people went everywhere to find him.At dawn, when the people of Yang went to the city to search, they saw the Huzhou villa shouting: "Kill the headless corpse in the willow forest." Shen Xiu's mother heard this and thought: "My son went to the city yesterday to drag the thrush, and he has not been found yet. Could it be him somewhere else?" She even called her husband, "You have to go to the city to find out." Shen Yu was startled and hurried to the willow forest.Seeing the headless corpse, he fixed his eyes carefully, looked up and down the clothes, but recognized his son, and burst into tears.Li Jia of this workshop said: "The suffering master is here, but there is no murderer." At that time, Shen Yu went to Lin'an Mansion and said: "It's my son. He entered the city at five o'clock yesterday to drag the thrush, and was killed somehow. I hope the master decides!" The government distributes arrest and arrest officers to various places, and they must arrest the murderer within ten days.

Shen Yu filled the coffin with the corpse and placed it in the willow forest.As soon as he went home, he said to his wife, "It's my son. He was killed, but I don't know where his head is. I have already told the government, and the government has arrested people everywhere. I will take care of myself." I bought a coffin to hold it. What should I do about it?" When Yan heard about it, she burst into tears and fell down.I don't know what the five internal organs are like, but I don't lift my limbs first.It is exactly: the body is like five drums holding the mountain and the moon, and the breath is like a lamp with oil in the third watch.At that time, everyone poured soup and saved them from waking up.Weeping: "My son doesn't listen to good people's words, and there is no place to die today. My young son died so hard! Who would think that I will be helpless when I grow old!" After talking and crying, crying and saying, Don't eat tea and rice.My husband tried to persuade me again and again, but I had no choice but to force myself.After half a month, there is no news.The two of Shen Yu and his wife discussed: "My son never obeyed the lesson, which led to today's disaster. He ate people and killed him. He was never caught, so he had no choice but to get the whole body. Why don't you write a post and tell people from all over the place? , if we get to meet each other, we'll get all the corpses, and we'll make a fuss about it later." The two of them had discussed and decided, so they quickly wrote a few posts and posted them all over the city.It said: "Tell the gentlemen of the Quartet: If anyone finds Shen Xiutou, he is willing to reward one thousand guan; if he catches the murderous body, he is willing to reward two thousand guan." He also issued a notice saying: "If someone finds Shen Xiutou, the official will reward him with five hundred guan; if he captures the murderer, he will reward him with one thousand guan." As soon as the notice came out, the city was full of commotion.No problem.

Let's say that at the foot of the South Peak, there is a very poor old man, whose surname is Huang, and whose nickname is Huang Laogou.He has been clumsy all his life, carrying sedan chairs to make a living.I am old and my eyesight is not clear, and I only rely on my two sons to survive.The big one is called Dabao, and the small one is called Xiaobao.The three of them, the father and the son, just didn't have enough clothes to cover their bodies, and they didn't have enough food to eat.One day, Huang Laogou called Dabao and Xiaobao to come, "I heard people say that the rich man Shen Xiu cannibalized and killed people, and there is no place to find his head. Now there is a reward, and if someone finds the head, the family rewards one thousand." Guan, the government will reward another five hundred guan. I will call you two now, so I have nothing to say. I am old and useless, and I don’t see it, and I don’t have any money. Be me, and teach you two to make a fortune. Be happy! You two cut off my head tonight and buried it by the water of the West Lake. After a few days, when you lose your recognition, you will go to the mansion to reward me. You will get a total of [-] coins, but it is better than today Suffer here. This is a great plan, and it should not be too late; if someone else does it first, you will lose your life." Just because the old dog lost his will, he said these words; besides, he is stupid to have two sons. People are insane.It is exactly: the mouth is the door to disaster, and the tongue is the knife to cut the body; keep your mouth shut and hide your tongue deeply, and you can stay in prison everywhere.At that time, the two went out to discuss.Xiaobao said: "My master made this plan. It's a great idea! Even if he is the general and marshal, he doesn't have such a plan. It's all right, but it's a pity that there is no master." Dabao was cruel and dumb, and said: " Seeing that he is only going to die sooner or later, why don't you take this opportunity to kill him and dig a hole at the foot of the mountain and bury him, but there is no trace, where can we investigate? This is called "tui while taking advantage of the soup", and also called "a touch of light". It's not that we forced him, he asked us to do this." Xiao Bao said: "It's good, we can only do it when we are fast asleep." The two of them had made up their minds, but they ran around and got two dollars on credit. A bottle of wine is coming.The three of them, the father and son, were very drunk and stumbling around.After sleeping until the third watch, the two of them got up and saw that the old man was fast asleep.Dabao went to the stove and touched a kitchen knife, and strangled his grandfather's neck, and cut off the head long ago.He quickly packed up the rags and put them beside the bed.So he went to the foot of the mountain to dig a deep hole, carried it and buried it.Without waiting for dawn, he buried his head in the shallow water of Ouhuaju Lake in Nanping Mountain.After entering the city half a month later, after reading the notice, he went to Shen Yu's house and reported, "The two of us were catching shrimp and fish yesterday. We saw a head by the Ouhua residence yesterday. It must be your son's head." Yes, I will reward you with a thousand guan, which is not a lot." Then I went to arrange wine and dinner, and the two of them walked to the lakeside of Ouhuaju in Nanping Mountain.The shallow soil covered one end faintly. When I lifted it to look at it, it had been soaked in water for many days and swelled, so it was difficult to distinguish. It must be.If not, where is this head here again?Shen Yu wrapped his handkerchief, two of them together, went to the mansion hall and said: "Shen Xiu's head has been found." The magistrate interrogated them again and again, and the two replied: "Because they caught shrimps and fishes, they saw it and didn't know goodbye." The reason for the item." The government approved it and rewarded it with five hundred guan.When the two got it, they went to the willow forest with Shen Yu, opened the coffin, put their heads on the neck, nailed them still, and went home with the two of them.When Yan saw that his son had a head, he was very happy in his heart. Then he arranged wine and dinner, took care of the two of them, and gave a thousand guan as a reward.The two accepted it and said goodbye to go home.Then build houses, buy farm tools and make a living.The two said: "Don't carry the sedan chair like before. We work hard to cultivate, pick and sell wild firewood, and we can survive the day." It's no problem.It is time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle.Unconsciously, after a few months, the government has also been slack, and the days are farther and farther away, so there is no problem.
