Doing good is easy to change your life, and losing your official position is so fast.

There was an old gentleman who lived a happy and long life. When he was a teenager, he was extremely poor and often went to the pot without food for a few days. In the year of Xie Yuan's college entrance examination, a fortune teller in the street told him that he would die in an accident before the Millennium. The teenager was depressed at that time. As the probation period approached, several students invited him to catch up with them. Because of what the fortune teller said, he didn't want to go and refused on the pretext that he had no money.

There was a Wang Sheng whose family was rich and loyal. He got along well with the young man and tried to persuade him to go with him. He said: "The fortune teller's words are not credible. If you are worried that there is no toll, I will bear it! He took out ten gold coins and handed them to the boy, saying, "This is for settling down. I'll take care of the luggage used on the road! Dude, don't worry! " The young man thanked him for his generosity and went together. It was already a few days in early autumn.

When I came to Jinling (jiangning house), I heard that there was a fortune teller in Chengen Temple who told good fortune and bad fortune. It is always amazingly accurate, and people who come to see fortune tellers are crowded like a busy city. A teenager staying in the same hotel and six classmates went to visit the fortune teller. The fortune-teller looked at the six of them and told them who was Lin Sheng, who was a tutor, who was a student with a list, who was Guo Jianzi, whose parents were perfect and whose parents died. They said exactly the same thing. He also said that one was on the vice list this time, and the others were not.

When it was his turn to be a teenager, he first asked himself which county he lived in and how far it was from here. Then he calculated and said, "hurry back, it's not too late!" Everyone was puzzled and asked the fortune teller why. Then he said, "Your face is haggard, your spirit is empty, and there is a dark line in the sky. If you manage according to law, you will be dead in five days. Go home quickly. But in my opinion, I should die on the road. Even if we start at once, I'm afraid it's too late. 」

Wang Sheng and others were shocked and said, "Please look at it carefully, sir, and see what can be done to save it. The fortuneteller said, "Life and death are great virtues. Without great virtues, it is not enough to return to heaven. The date is pressing now. What can we do? If this gentleman is still alive in six days, I will never talk to anyone again! " Everyone was silent all the way back to the apartment.

The boy said to Wang Sheng, "My brother tried to persuade me to come. What the fortune teller said today is exactly the same as what the fortune teller said before. It must be fulfilled. Life is bound to die, and I'm not afraid of death. But if you die here, you will all suffer. It is better to go back immediately, and there is hope for death at home. " My roommate agreed.

Wang Sheng sympathized with him, rented a boat for him, gave him travel expenses, and gave him ten gold coins, saying, "Keep this for a rainy day. Knowing what he meant, the boy smiled and thanked him and said, "This is the funeral expenses my brother gave me. I dare not refuse. If I die and know, I will ask my brother Gao Jie to thank you for your kindness! "So I said goodbye to everyone boarding.

After walking on the Yangtze River for more than ten miles, the wind was too strong to walk, so I tied my boat to the shore and stayed there. In an instant, four days passed and the wind became stronger. The boy thought: the five-day deadline is coming, and the ship can't leave. It seems that the prediction of "death" will come true. At this moment, he is bent on waiting for death, and all his troubles are empty. He just couldn't get rid of loneliness and boredom, so he wandered ashore alone, about a mile away, and there was no one around him. Suddenly I saw a middle-aged pregnant woman with three young children, one in her left hand, one in her right hand and one in the back, crying while walking, passing by the teenager miserably.

After a few steps, the boy suddenly thought that there was no one above the river bank and there were no residents around. Where is she going? The situation is suspicious. Asked in a hurry, the woman ignored it. The boy followed, and the woman turned to scold him. The young man asked eagerly, "If you are really in trouble, please tell me, it may help!" " ! 」

The woman had to say, "I unfortunately married a butcher." I am very violent and often beaten. " He went to the market today, and there are two pigs at home. Before he left, he told me that he would sell them for ten gold coins. Later, someone came to buy it, and sure enough, he got ten gold. I was afraid it was fake silver, so I went to the silver shop with him to check it. The color was correct. When he got home, the man suddenly felt very expensive and asked for a refund. Come back later and buy pigs with the original money. When I saw that the money was all right, I had no doubt and gave him the pig. My neighbor in the west came to my house and saw silver. He was surprised and said it was copper. I hurried out to find a buyer, but no one was there. Go to the silver shop and check that it is copper. I went several times in a row and said it was copper. I thought my husband was dead when he came back from this big deception. Anyway, it's better to die in the water than under the whip. All three children were born to me, and both mother and son died together, so as not to let them suffer from their evil father. 」

Hearing this, the teenager felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to see silver, but it turned out to be copper. At this point, the money sent by Wang Sheng was in his sleeve, thinking that he was dying. What's the use of asking for this money? He quietly changed the money in his sleeve and said to the woman, "You almost made a big mistake! This is real silver, how can it be copper? " The woman said angrily, "Several silver shops say it's copper. Why did Mr. Wang fool me? " The boy said, "No! Those silver shops cheated you as a woman. If you go with me, they won't dare to say so. If it's copper, it's not too late to die! After listening to his words, the woman walked three or four miles together, only to reach a silver shop, and handed the money to verify that it was real silver. She went to several houses and said it was silver. The woman was overjoyed and said, "fortunately, I met my husband, or I almost made a big mistake!" "Took the money to kowtow.

The teenager rushed back immediately. It was near dusk at that time, and the twilight was boundless. After walking less than a mile, I lost my way and had nowhere to ask for directions. While hesitating, I saw several houses looming nearby. If you look closely, it's all ruins and bare, so you know it's a ruined temple. As a last resort, I had to spend the night under the porch. I thought: empty, dark, no one. If there are foxes and wild ghosts to eat, that's my death! After running all day, I sat down and fell asleep.

In the dark, I heard the chief's voice shouting. The boy saw his one eye, and the hall was brightly lit, and the attendants on both sides stood bravely. After the court case, there was a king-like man sitting in the middle, as if he were Guan Di. Suddenly Guan Di said, "One man saved five lives by the river today. We should find this man and give him a reward. At the moment, a purple official reported with a scroll in his hand: "Just now, the land announced that he was a scholar in a county. "The emperor ordered to check the book of Lu Ji, and check it again to see if he got this autumn list.

Another embroiderer came up with a book in his hand and said, "This man's official position and life are ruined. It should be crushed to death by the wall under the porch of this temple at midnight tonight. " The emperor said, "if so, how can we persuade people to be kind?" It should be changed to Lu nationality. Yesterday, Wenchang Palace informed me that in this autumn exam, a Xie Yuan from Jiangnan was removed from the list because he defiled his maid, so he was invited to fill the vacancy. 」

Someone nearby said, "His money was given by Wang Sheng, and Wang Sheng despised wealth and attached importance to justice, which made this man achieve good results. Tracing back to the source, Wang Sheng should also be called Lu Ji. " The emperor said, "Good." And ordered to see Luigi. The report says, "Wang Sheng should be fifty-three years old in the next science exam. The embroidery official came forward to ask for instructions: "I won the 53rd place in this scientific research, and I was punished for making a mistake. Who will replace it? Wenchang Palace has not been decided yet. Ask whether to let Wang Sheng replace this vacancy? " The emperor said, "Yes. 」

The teenager was listening attentively to the answer in the temple when suddenly someone seemed to shout in his ear: "get out!" Get out! " Woke up in shock and curled up under the eaves of the temple. It's dark all around, and I can't see anything. I just heard the mud falling from the wall. I got up quickly and stumbled out in the dark. Just a few steps later, the wall collapsed and the positive pressure was in its original place. I had to stand there waiting for dawn.

After dawn, I went to the temple to worship. This is indeed Guandi Temple. Get dressed, worship, out of the temple, and find the way back to the ship. You say to yourself: God's word will surely come true. I talked with the boatman about going back to Jinling. Have a nice trip. We'll be there soon. Everyone was surprised when the teenager came to the inn. The teenager only said that the wind was too strong to move forward, thinking that the five-day period had passed, he came back. They asked, "Are you really in danger in five days? 」

The teenager argued: "Everything happens for a reason. Yesterday, I occasionally went to the riverside to see the river view leisurely, and walked a little farther from the ship. When I came back, it was already dusk. The reeds along the river were mixed together and tripped several times, almost falling into the river. Fortunately, the host came to look for it with a lantern, and he was able to return safely. But the silver bag in the sleeve has turned into a dragonfly and flew away! (meaning lost. ) "Wang Sheng said with a smile," If you survive, you will be blessed. Getting lost by the river is probably a harbinger of the scholar's pilot test! " Just buy wine to congratulate the teenager.

The next day, everyone in the apartment said, "Today is the seventh day, and you are safe and sound. Let's all go to the fortune teller and make fun of him. That's bullshit！ The boy didn't want to go, so everyone took him with them.

The fortune teller's place was still very crowded, so people in the same room pushed the crowd and pushed the young people to the fortune teller. The fortune teller was talking to someone else when he looked up and saw the boy. He was surprised and said, "aren't you the one I said would die in five days?" ? Everyone should say with one voice, "Yes! It's been seven days today. So what? The fortune teller said, "I won't die now." I haven't seen him for a few days. His bones are very different from before, and his complexion suddenly improved. Mr. Wang must have done an extraordinary kindness and saved several lives, so he can preserve the power of nature. 」

The boy smiled and said, "What Mr. Wang said is really beside the point! I am so poor, what strength do I have to save people? The fortune teller said, "Sir, don't lie to me! As I said before, you can't go back to heaven without virtue. Your face is full of gloom today, and you are sure to be the first in the exam this year. Next year, you will join the Hanlin Academy, and your life will be increased to 80 years old. " And smiled and said, "this is not an accident. Half a month ago, I visited a fortune teller of a scholar. He has extraordinary eyebrows and a bright hall. He must be an outstanding scholar. Yesterday, he came to visit fortune-teller again, but there was a needle hanging on his forehead (that is, a broken line), which lost his previous glory. He must have a lot to hide (hide evil deeds), and his Lu nationality has been removed. Unexpectedly, it was you who replaced him. 」

Pointing to Wang Sheng, he said, "Teacher Wang also has a shadow on his face. He will definitely take the exam with this gentleman." Wang said to him, "I don't know what happened to my friend." As for myself, what did I do well? The fortune teller said, "Doing nothing is called Yi Yin." Everyone burst into laughter and laughed at the fortune teller for finding words to avoid prevarication. The young man smiled and said, "Why should you be serious when you listen to nonsense?" "? Why don't you go back! 」

When he returned to the hotel, the boy whispered to Wang Sheng, "That man is really a god. What he said is true! Enge, you deserve the 53rd place! " Wang Shengqi, a teenager, was radiant when he came back for the first time, and he was surprised. After listening to the fortuneteller's words, he once suspected that the money he gave saved his life, but his friend said it was lost. I asked the whole story of the teenager carefully. The boy told him all this, and said, "Without the money given by Engo, I can only watch others die. Thank God today, it's all my friends' kindness! " Wang Sheng said in surprise, "You have so many brothers! If so, I should thank you! That fortune teller is really amazing! 」

In this year's science exam, the teenager really won the Xie Yuan, and Wang Sheng also passed the exam. The following year, they joined the Hanlin Academy.

The host said: When my good friend Jiang Yiting told me this story, he sighed: "People often say that wealth and poverty, long life and short life are all arranged by fate. How do you know that the feelings of the creator are caused by people themselves? " If you give a silver or two, the gods will get to the bottom of it and bless them. ":And evil people, even if there is good news of being an official, will soon be cut off. Although people who do good will die soon, they will immediately increase their life span and life span after doing good, and life span and life span change so quickly; Friends who give generously will also be rewarded with kindness. Admittedly, it never rains but it pours, but we should believe this even more. Isn't it worth the effort and vigilance?
