In the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a merchant surnamed Ji who traveled to and from the capital all year round, selling goods. Recently, because the world is not good, he has stopped doing business and lived idly at home. On this day, when the weather was fine and idle, he let two servants lead the horses and carry the food box to the mountains and wilderness.
The spring in the mountains and wilderness was bright and full of life, and after playing for a long time, the merchant was in a good mood, so he chose a clearing with green grass, laid out felt cloth, put wine and food, and drank alone. After drinking for a while, because there was no friend to accompany me, I lost my liveliness, and my mood could not help but become lonely and I could not lift my spirits.
At this time, two people came down from the top of the mountain, one fat and one thin, fat swordsman dressed, thin scribe dressed, although the clothes were worn, but could not stop Ji Yu Xuanang. The two saw the merchant sitting on the grass drinking, sucked his nose, and the fat man said, "Wine is good wine." The thin man interface said: "Unfortunately, alone, lost the fun!" ”
Seeing that the two men had extraordinary temperaments, the merchant stood up and bowed his hand and said: "When a guest comes, he is not happy, and he sincerely invites the two benevolent brothers to drink and have fun together, and hope not to resign." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled and said, "So good! He sat down cross-legged, raised a glass, and talked and laughed. Seeing that the two were talking well, the merchant was happy in his heart, so he reported to his home and inquired about their origins.
The fat man smiled and said, "My surname is Tiger, and I am an idle man in the mountains." A thin man said, "This surname is Dragon, and he is also an idle man in the mountains." The two of us have similar temperaments, are brothers and sisters, often walk together, and laugh at the mountains and forests. The thin man laughed and said, "I don't envy mandarin ducks or immortals, I only want to sleep with wine urns often." We have no great ambitions, and we only hope that there is wine to drink every day, which is a happy life. ”
The businessman liked the ease of the two and sighed: "The two are the most human beings, unlike me, who is a businessman, who calculates everywhere, but there is always something that cannot be calculated, and it is useless to spend time, but it is impossible to extricate yourself." Today I met the two of them, it is really a three-life luck, in the next proposal, everyone worship as brothers, I don't know if it is possible? ”
The tiger fat man laughed and said, "So good! The thin man of the dragon also clapped his hands and laughed, "That's exactly what I meant!" The three of them knelt on the grass, sprinkled wine and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, and formed a friendship of eight prayers. The three of them recounted their teeth, the dragon thin man was older, the eldest brother, the tiger fat man was the youngest, the third brother, and the merchant was in the middle.
After the worship, the three of them re-entered their seats hand in hand, raised a glass and drank freely, and spoke freely. Unconsciously, it was getting late, and everyone gave up.
After a few days, the merchant remembered Brother Dragon and Brother Tiger, and was thinking about going to visit them, when he suddenly heard the servant pointing to the mountain in front of him and saying, "Lord, there is a distinguished guest coming." The merchant walked out the door and looked up, only to see that on the winding mountain road, there was indeed a dragon brother and a tiger brother.
I saw Brother Tiger walking in front with a package on his back, Brother Dragon carrying a load of wine behind him, followed by a small donkey, carrying his luggage, down the mountain path. The merchant cheered, hurriedly ordered his family to slaughter chickens and sheep, and then flew up the mountain with his servants to welcome the arrival of Brother Dragon and Tiger.
The servants took the things, and the merchant took the hands of the two men and told them about their thoughts. Tiger Fat Man laughed and said, "We miss you very much, so we came to visit you together." The dragon slender man pointed to the luggage on the donkey's back and smiled, "We brought the luggage with us, and we plan to stay in your house for a while." The merchant was overjoyed and said, "So good! ”
When they arrived at home, the merchant instructed his servants to clean the East Wing and place the two men in the East Wing. After the banquet was set out, the merchant took the two men's hands and sat down, and the three of them drank happily.
In the evening, the merchant took the cover and went to the East Wing, and put a small bed next to the bed to sleep with the Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother. The three of them talked about three times before going to sleep. Since then, the three of them have eaten and lived together, almost inseparable.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed. The merchant never returned to the bedroom, and his wife Wu Shi was angry. Wu Shiben was a tricky jealous woman, because her husband's brother-in-law had just arrived, and she couldn't bear it. However, for more than half a month, the merchant did not enter her room, and she finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to have seizures.
Wu Shi began to look for the mistakes of the servant women, dragged them to the courtyard and knelt down, deliberately scolding loudly, the sound was loud in the sky, making the chickens and dogs restless, and even delaying the serving time, and the food became more and more simple.
Brother Dragon and Brother Tiger naturally understood Wu's meaning, so they offered their resignation. The merchant tried his best to keep it, saying that he was going to teach Wu Shi a lesson, and it was a big deal to leave this jealous woman. Brother Dragon brother and brother tiger hurriedly persuaded, there is no need to hurt the harmony of the husband and wife for the sake of brotherly love, anyway, they have lived for a long time, and they also want to go home to see.
The merchant could not keep it, so he had to set up a table of wine and shed tears and parted. After this, Brother Dragon and Brother Tiger never came again. Half a year later, the merchant could not help but miss it, and took his servants to the mountains with gifts to visit the dragon brothers and tiger brothers, and when they arrived at the address they said, they did not find the village, so they had to return lonely.
In the spring of the following year, the merchants did not want to live a life of sitting on the mountain and eating the sky, so they purchased a batch of goods, drove a carriage, and went to the capital to sell. Halfway to the road, a group of strongmen suddenly emerged from the woods, killing people when they saw them, and the merchants were also slashed.
At this time, the sky darkened, the wind was blowing, the sand was flying away, and a big tiger suddenly jumped out of the woods. At the same time, a dragon appeared in the sky. A dragon and a tiger show their might, sweeping away all the strongmen.
Only to see the dragon turn into a thin dragon, and the tiger turn into a tiger fat man, and come to the merchant. The merchant was seriously injured and his life was in danger, and Brother Dragon and Tiger said with tears in their eyes, "Brother, we are late!" ”
The merchant said weakly, "I didn't expect brother Dragon and Tiger to be immortals, so it's no wonder I can't find you." After a pause, he added: "My death is not enough, but I am worried that my son is young, and Wu Shi will certainly not want to keep the festival, and my son will not be taught." Since everyone has a worship, I want to entrust my son to you, and I also ask Brother Dragon and Brother Tiger not to resign. ”
The two hurriedly agreed to come down, and the merchant smiled and left. The two returned with the bodies of the merchants and servants and buried them in the back hill. They came every three to five days to stay for two days and teach the son of the merchant to realize his dreams.
Wu Shi was really reluctant to observe the festival, and quietly sold his family property, took all his property, remarried someone else, and left behind the dream of being less than ten years old. Begging for a living.
After a few days, The Tiger Fat Man and the Dragon Thin Man took ji yuan dream to the deep mountains to teach. The Tiger Fat Man taught him the art of Tiger Leaping, and the Dragon Thin Man taught him the Art of Dragon Leaping. By the time ji yuanmeng came of age, he was already a strong man with strange skills.
At this time, it was a chaotic world, and Ji Yuanmeng bid farewell to the two benefactors and went down the mountain, relying on his own ability to break through, becoming a generation of tyrants, assisting in the establishment of the Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty, and becoming a general of the Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty.
Wu Clan remarried to an old Guanggun as a wife, but the old Guanggun liked to gamble money, and after more than ten years, he lost Wu's property and died. The evening scenery of Wushi was desolate, and later fell to the point of begging for a living. On this day, Wu Shi begged to go to the General's Mansion, and just happened to go out in a dream, recognized his birth mother, and took her in and raised her.
There is a kind of affection in the world, called brotherhood. However, there are very few who can take care of each other. Those who can help their brothers raise their descendants deserve respect and recitation. This story adopts an absurd penmanship, which lies in borrowing things to persuade the world, and has nothing to do with feudal superstition.
