What are the interesting stories in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio?

Master Wang's family is very rich. One day, he suddenly dreamed that a man said to him, "You owe me 4000 yuan, and now it's time to pay me back." Then he went straight into the house. When he woke up, his wife happened to have a boy. It seems that the child has come to settle the account for life. So he took out 4000 yuan and put it in a room alone.

All the children's food, clothing, housing, transportation and medical expenses are paid from these 40 thousand miles. After three or four years, 4000 will leave 700. On this day, the nurse was playing with her child in her arms. Master Wang sighed at the child: "40 thousand is running out, so you should probably go." After saying his word, the child's face changed greatly, and he looked up and stared, suddenly out of breath.

Wang Sima didn't expect to vomit. The child's temperament is so great. I had to do nothing and bury the child. Just spent the remaining 700 yuan.

Pu Songling's evaluation: This incident can be used as a warning for people who owe money. Once when a man was old and had no children, he asked a monk. The monk replied, "If you don't owe others, and others don't owe you, how can you have a son?" So giving birth to a dutiful son is gratitude; I gave birth to an unfilial son, who came to collect debts. Life and death are cause and effect. Don't be too happy to have a child, and don't be too sad when the child dies.

When I was a child, I couldn't understand most classical Chinese. But when I read this story, I vaguely felt that the last paragraph written by Pu Gong was very meaningful. After reading the last sentence, "Don't be happy for the living, don't be sad for the dead", I suddenly feel that Pu Gong is very warm. Of course, not everyone believes this passage of Pu Gong, because it is only written for those who need it.

I can't help it I'm afraid they will rebel. Later, when I went to court, someone always pretended to be a "thief." In the end, every time a lawsuit is filed, both parties need not say anything. From the beginning, they began to argue about who was the real "thief" and the government wanted to check the household registration. That's ridiculous. There happened to be a fox in the county government, and the daughter of the county magistrate fell in love with a male fox.

The county magistrate invited a mage, caught the fox with magic, put it in a bottle and prepared to burn it. At this moment, I heard the fox shouting in the bottle, "I am a thief!" " "Even the county magistrate is happy.
