In the past, in the countryside, when adults named their children, they usually named boys "Dahei", "Erhei", "Donggou", etc., and girls usually named "Chunhua", "Chuntao" , "winter plum" and so on. In this way, there are often many names with the same name, which is not uncommon.
There was a father in the countryside. He wanted to name his two sons, but he didn't want to give them the same names as others. What should they be called? After much deliberation, he named his eldest son "Pirates" and his younger son "Bei" (meaning to beat someone). Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and the two sons have grown up, and they have both grown into "little youngsters." It’s true that life’s misfortunes and blessings are unpredictable. It’s a blessing, not a curse, but it’s a curse that cannot be avoided.
One day, the eldest son "thief" had to go out to do business, and he had already walked out of the house and onto the road. The old man suddenly remembered something and wanted to tell his eldest son to call him back, so he chased him and shouted loudly: "Robber! Robber!"
It happened by coincidence. What a coincidence, what a coincidence!
It happened that the local officials had to pass through this avenue for inspection, and they had to walk two miles before turning right and taking the east road to return home. The sedan chair was being carried tremblingly towards this side. He had been sitting in the sedan chair for nearly half an hour and was about to close his eyes and doze off. Suddenly I heard someone shouting "Stealer! Stealer!" I woke up suddenly, and my drowsiness was driven away by the sudden shouting. The official gently pulled up the sedan curtain and looked in the direction of the shouting: he saw a young young man walking hurriedly in front, and an old man behind him chasing the young man and shouting "Robber! Robber!"
This is awesome! In this peaceful world, there are people who dare to commit theft in broad daylight. A strong young man steals an old man's property. It's simply outrageous! So the official opened the curtain on half of the sedan door and ordered to the guards around him: "Go up quickly and arrest that young man who is walking in a hurry! He is a robber."
The official heard the old man shouting The "thief" thought that the old man was chasing a robber, so he caught the "thief" and tied him up. When the old man saw his eldest son being caught and tied up by officials who mistakenly thought he was a robber, he wanted to ask his second son to "beat him up" and explain the actual situation to the officials. Seeing that the situation was urgent, he was anxious and could not say anything else for a while. He just kept shouting "Beat! Beat!"
After the officials caught the old man's eldest son as a "robber", they did not allow the "robber" to tell the difference and asked the soldiers to use a thick hemp rope to tie him up. The "thief" was tied up tightly with five flowers and then taken back to the government office for interrogation and conviction. Just as he was about to get up the sedan, he suddenly heard the old man shouting urgently: "Hit! Beat!". The soldiers who tied up the "robber" thought it was the old man indicating that he was going to beat the young "robber", so they used fists and wooden sticks. There were raindrops of blows on the "thief"'s head and body. If the old man and his second son had not rushed to the front and explained the situation in time, the "thief" would have been beaten to death.
This fable tells people: Pay attention to the consistency of "name" and "actuality", and be careful to name things; prevent the name from being wasted because of the name. If the name does not match the reality, it will cause misunderstandings to people. , the result is counterproductive.
