As we all know, in people’s daily lives, mosquitoes and flies can be said to be the biggest public enemies of mankind. Whether it is the living room, kitchen, courtyard or toilet, wherever there are people there are such annoying things. , in some places, even if there are no humans living, there will be such things. Its vitality and parasitic power are very rare. In addition, their reproductive ability is unparalleled, and humans cannot destroy them even if they want to.
But it is said that in a very early time, there were no flies and mosquitoes in the world. The reason why they appeared later is because of a very beautiful legend:
p>
In the early days, there was a very wealthy man who had thousands of hectares of fertile land, cattle and horses everywhere, and groups of servants. It stands to reason that although such a man is not a prince or general, he should still be an overlord, and his life should be is very happy. However, this is not the case. He lives a very painful life, because in addition to having countless wealth, he is also just an ordinary person and has nothing to do with high-ranking officials. Even so, he can still encourage himself. What really makes him miserable However, he was nearly forty years old and had no children. In ancient society, where there were three types of unfilial piety and having no offspring was the most serious, this was difficult for everyone to accept. Perhaps it was because of God's pity that when he was forty-three years old, his second wife finally gave birth to a son for him. How could it not make people happy to have a son at such an old age, so the old rich man named his beloved son Fugui , perhaps hoping that he would be as wealthy as himself, and held a grand banquet for the guests, which made the scene noisy for several days.
In order to educate his children well, the old rich man spared no expense to hire the best gentleman. Xiao Fugui could read and read. Xiao Fugui was also very smart and lived up to the old rich man’s hard work. He was only seven or eight years old. He had read all the books he needed to learn, including the Four Books and Five Classics, and everyone thought that this boy was the number one scholar. However, as the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances, and the old rich man returns westward one day, ruining the wealth of the little rich man.
It turns out that Xiao Fugui’s mother was the second wife of the old rich man. He married her after his first wife died of illness. However, Xiao Fugui’s mother was infected with cold when she gave birth to Xiao Fugui. The little rich man also died of illness when he was four years old. Although the old rich man was sad, he didn't care much about having his young son in front of him to celebrate. But the little rich man was young and ignorant, and he didn't know what sadness was. Later, when Xiao Fugui was six years old, in order to take care of the housework and take better care of his son, the old rich man married his third wife, a woman who was nearly twenty years younger than the old rich man. This third wife was originally born into a wealthy family. Later, due to the decline of her family, she had no choice but to marry into the old rich man’s family. The original young lady’s temper was even worse. She had only been in the house for a few days, but she had already caused chaos in the family. Those who jumped up and down were either scolding or beating old servants. Some of the old servants who had followed the old rich man had never suffered such grievances in their lives. They all begged the old rich man to give them a way out. Although the old rich man was angry, on the one hand As he is getting older, he no longer has much energy to take care of these things. He just treats his family members who have been with him all his life and gives them more settlement allowance. On the other hand, the old rich man's main thoughts are on his beloved son and he is too lazy to do so. Just ask, as long as you can have three meals a day.
However, this is just the wish of the wealthy old man. His wife does not think so. To use an old saying in the countryside, to put it more uncivilized, it is "a dog that eats shit cannot be changed to go to the manhole." road". Because she is still young and has her own jealousy, she is not willing to live a safe and orderly life with a man who can even be her father, let alone watch the old rich man guard his son so much. So this vicious woman would often find trouble with the old rich man for no reason, and then cry, make trouble, and hang herself. For the safety of her young son, the old rich man, who was already in his twilight years, could do nothing but guard his son day and night. This gave the vicious woman a huge opportunity. In just a few days, she became a powerful dictator in the family. Seeing that the peaceful home in the past had become what it is now, the old rich man was furious. He was heartbroken and couldn't afford to fall ill. Within a few days, he left his youngest son and returned to the West.
In this way, a fallen phoenix is ??not as good as a chicken. The little rich man has no shelter, and having a family is like having no home. It is even worse than the life of ordinary orphans, let alone a young master who once had no worries about food and clothing. Now he is not even as good as a servant. At eight or nine years old, he has to cut grass and herd sheep, and his food and clothing are not guaranteed. Those old family members remembered the old kindness of the old master and wanted to help the little rich man, but they couldn't afford to offend the vicious woman, so they could only pray silently for the little rich man.
The little rich man was hungry, so he went to the woman and said, "Second mother, I'm hungry." The woman said viciously, "There is a bowl of cat rice under the table." In winter, wearing The little rich man in single clothes went to the woman and said, "Second mother, I'm cold." The woman also said harshly: "There is a lamp in front of the Buddha statue." For many days and nights, the poor little rich man was so hungry. He was curled up upstairs in the cowshed with his belly full and wearing a single coat. He used to be white and tender, but now he looks sallow and thin. But one thing that is commendable is that even under such conditions, he did not give up studying. Whenever he had the chance, he studied eagerly.
As time went by, the little rich man grew up into a big rich man, but the vicious woman still did not regard him as a human being. She had to do all the hard work and regarded him as a free person. Long-term workers. But she herself hooked up with a pig-killer and became a romantic couple. When Da Fugui was hungry, he went to her and said, "Er Niang, I'm hungry." She still said, "There is a bowl of cat rice under the table." In winter, Da Fu Gui went to her and said, "Er Niang, I'm cold." ." She still said: "There is a lamp in front of the Buddha statue." After being abused and treated coldly, Da Fugui, who had become sensible, ran away from home. Not only did that vicious woman not send anyone to look for her, but she lost her mind and became more and more presumptuous.
Besides, after Dafugui ran away from home, he went through many hardships and experienced all kinds of sufferings. Fortunately, because of his kindness, honesty and intelligence, he was adopted by a childless but charitable old man. Although the old man is not rich, he is still quite well-off. In this way, the wealthy man helps his foster parents to work and support the family. On the other hand, he still does not forget to study and study whenever he has leisure. In this way, spring and autumn come. A few years ago, the rich man who was rich in economics was going to participate in the triennial palace examination as a scholar. At this time, his adoptive parents were also in their twilight years.
As everyone expected, in the palace examination, the rich man who had read poetry and learned a lot of economics stood alone and was selected as the number one scholar by the emperor. He was given the title of consort and was allowed to go home to visit his relatives for three years moon. The wealthy man who became the number one scholar was surrounded by people and returned to his hometown in rich clothes. He felt that the opportunity for revenge had come. So he issued a special order not to inform his family. When he was still ten miles away from home, he ordered his followers to stop stationed. He changed back to his old rags and returned home with only two or three guards. Hiding outside, he entered the house alone. When the vicious woman saw him coming in, she scolded him fiercely: "The beggar from there didn't even look at where this place was and just barged in." She was about to yell People kicked him out. Dafugui hurriedly called Erniang. Although the woman was vicious and indifferent to where Da Fugui had been over the years, Da Fugui was the real owner of this place after all, so she didn’t dare to go too far and let him in, but she still said something unclean. Cursing. When he arrived at the house, the rich man who was already the prince-in-law deliberately said to the woman: "Second mother, I'm hungry." The woman also replied in the same way: "There is a bowl of cat rice under the table." The rich man said again: "Second mother-in-law." Mom, I'm cold." The woman also said viciously: "There is a lamp in front of the Buddha statue." Looking at this sinister and vicious woman, Da Fugui suppressed his anger and said, "Second mother, after all, I am from this family. Half master, why do you have to treat me like this? Don't you miss my father's kindness at all? "A woman is a woman after all, let alone a woman with a vicious heart. The woman gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay not to mention the old immortal. It was him who ruined my life, so I want to let him die without peace."
Who are you? I have the final say in this family now. Who doesn’t know that the old and immortal son has long been wandering far away and died in a foreign country? Who are you to come to pretend to be here? If I hadn’t been compassionate, I would have sent you to the government. , and let you talk nonsense here. "
Looking at this woman who had no humanity at all, Dafugui could no longer bear it. He changed his shyness and shouted loudly: "I am an upright person. If you refuse to eat cat food, if you refuse to worship Buddha, you should be punished for being inhumane. "As he said this, he shouted outside: "Here comes someone! Tie this vicious woman up and tell everyone to go to the entrance of the village. "The guard who was hiding outside just now rushed in with a loud roar, tied up the woman in three strokes, blocked her mouth with a piece of rag without any explanation, and dragged her to the entrance of the village.
Da Fugui changed into his No. 1 Scholar uniform and came down to the entrance of the village surrounded by his entourage. The vicious woman had been hung on an old locust tree. She looked at the people around her, partly to watch the excitement. , on the one hand, because of the majesty of the number one scholar, the dark crowd came, and the wealthy man listed out the evil woman's crimes one by one for everyone to judge. But, think about it, he is the number one scholar, he is the prince-in-law, and he is the emperor. The popular man in front of him is so impatient that he dares to say that he is wrong? In addition, the woman really went too far, so the crime is given. After all, the number one scholar is the number one scholar, although he can deal with this. The woman who brought trouble to him was still his second mother after all, so the No. 1 scholar passed down a message: Everyone present must use a knife to dig out a little bit of flesh. He also gave special instructions: "Everyone should cut off a little bit of the big one." It can only be as big as a pea, and the small one should be as long as a grain of rice. "Because this woman was vicious by nature, even if she became like this, she would still harm people. The big ones turned into flies and the small ones turned into mosquitoes.
From then on, this woman These two nasty things began to appear in the world.
