The story of Wang Xiang lying on the ice and asking for carp

In ancient times, there was a small child named Wang Xiang, his birth mother died, and his father married another wife, that is, Wang Xiang's stepmother. The stepmother did not like Wang Xiang, but Wang Xiang listened to the words of the stepmother very well, and he tried his best to do what the stepmother told him to do.

One cold winter day, wanting to eat live fish, Wang Xiang wanted Wang Xiang to go to the river to catch fish. It was snowing heavily, the north wind was whistling, and the river had long been frozen, so which stepmother was sick and had fish?

Wang Xiang thought: I can use body temperature to melt the ice cubes! He took off his clothes and lay on the ice, the biting cold made his teeth tremble and his whole body trembled, but he still had to endure, endure... Suddenly, the ice under his body cracked and two carp jumped up. Wang Xiang was overjoyed, and rushed home with the carp in his arms and cooked fish soup for his stepmother to eat. When the stepmother ate the fresh fish, she asked Wang Xiang where the fish came from, and Wang Xiang introduced in detail the process of getting the fish. Wang Xiang's stepmother was quite touched, she was ashamed, pulled Wang Xiang, and said shyly: "Xiang'er, you are really a good child, I used to blame you for my mother's mistake, and I will never dislike you again." The story of Wang Xiang lying on the ice and asking for carp was known to the neighbors, and everyone praised Wang Xiang as a good child who was filial piety!
