In our northeast, there is a small place called Liuhe Village, and there is a famous pig killer in the village, who is nicknamed Zhang Dabiao. This Zhang Dabiao, his craftsmanship is a must, and the pig-killing knife is in his hand, as if he is playing. If anyone in the village has pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, they must look for him. He is tall, has a loud voice, and speaks energetically, a typical Northeast man.
One day, Zhang Dabiao was squatting in his yard sharpening his knife, and he heard the old king of the village shouting to him there: "Da Biao, hurry up, there is something good to find you!" Zhang Dabiao was stunned for a moment, put down the work in his hand, wiped his sweat, walked out of the yard, and asked, "What's the good thing, old Wang?" The old king was mysterious: "You don't know yet? Li Laohan in the east of our village is going to set up a banquet at home, and his son has been admitted to Xiucai, which is a great joy for our village! Li Laohan said, the whole village is invited, you pig killer, you can't be absent! When Zhang Dabiao heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, thinking that Li Laohan is really interesting, his son was admitted to Xiucai, such a big happy event, and invited the whole village to have a banquet, which is the first time in our village. He hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I'll go and prepare, and I'll be there in the evening!" ”
In the evening, Zhang Dabiao changed into clean clothes, carried two bottles of good wine, and went straight to Li Laohan's house. That Li Laohan's house is really lively, the yard is full of tables, the tables are full of vegetables, and the fragrance goes straight to the nose. Zhang Dabiao found a place to sit down and feast with the villagers. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Dabiao suddenly felt that the taste of meat on this table was a little wrong. He traveled north and south, what meat has he not tasted? But the meat on this table tastes so strange, as if it has been left for a few days. He frowned, and muttered in his heart, Li Laohan is usually quite realistic, how can he use this meat to entertain people? He looked around and saw that no one else seemed to notice, and he was still eating happily and chatting lively. Zhang Dabiao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only drink with his head bored.
The banquet dispersed, Zhang Dabiao went home, lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, Li Laohan was not usually such a person. He decided to go to Li Laohan's house early the next morning to have a look and ask for clarification. Early the next morning, Zhang Dabiao arrived at Li Laohan's house. The door was wide open, but there was no one inside. When he walked in, the house was in a mess, as if it had been turned over. He was shocked, could it be that Li Laohan's family was robbed? He looked around and suddenly found a corpse in the corner. He looked closer, almost fainting. This corpse is none other than Li Laohan! His face was pale, his eyes were tightly closed, and he had apparently been dead for several days. Zhang Dabiao's heart tightened, and he was in a hurry, and he rushed out of the house with a swish. He hurriedly found the village chief of our village and told the village chief about the discovery of Li Laohan. When the village chief heard this, his face turned green, and he hurriedly beckoned the old and young masters in the village to rush to Li Laohan's house together. When everyone saw Li Laohan's appearance, they were all stunned, and their hearts were panicked.
The village chief asked Zhang Dabiao in a deep voice: "Da Biao, you came to drink yesterday, did you see anything wrong?" Zhang Dabiao scratched his head, thought about it for a long time, and said: "When I came last night, I felt that the meat on the table tasted wrong, a little strange." But I didn't take it to heart at the time, thinking was just ordinary meat. ”
The village chief frowned and said, "This old man Li is not usually this person, how can he entertain people with bad meat?" There's definitely something greasy in this. He turned to everyone and said, "Don't panic, everyone, let's report the case first, and let the officials handle this matter." When everyone heard this, they all nodded, and the village chief sent someone to report the case.
The people from the official family came quickly, and when they arrived in Liuhe Village, they immediately began to investigate the affairs of Li Laohan. When they checked, they found that Li Laohan's house had not lost anything, and the doors and windows were fine, and they had not been pried. They pondered that Li Laohan might have been poisoned. The meat on the table may be poisoned.
The people of the official family began to check the people in the village one by one, but they did not find any clues. When he was anxious, Zhang Dabiao patted his head, remembered it, and said to the official family: "I had a banquet last night, and I felt that the meat was wrong. Now that I think about it, it smells a lot like a poisonous weed I've seen when I used to kill pigs. ”
When the officials heard this, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly asked, "What is that poisonous weed called?" What does it look like? Zhang Dabiao thought for a while and said: "That poisonous weed is called 'broken intestine grass', which grows almost like ordinary grass, but the leaves are a little white." If a pig eats this grass, the meat will have a strange smell, and people will be poisoned if they eat it. ”
When the people of the official family heard this, they immediately came to their senses. They hurriedly went up the mountain to look for the "broken intestine grass", and they really found it. Compared with it, it is exactly the same as the toxin in the meat on the table of Li Laohan's house. The people of the official family began to wonder if someone had deliberately put this poisonous weed in the pig feed of Li Laohan's family.
So, the people of the official family investigated deeply in the village and asked from house to house, trying to find out who had poisoned them. But the people in the village are all acquaintances, and they usually have a good relationship, so they can't find a suspect. The investigation was at an impasse for a while. Hey, that's a real annoyance. Just when everyone was at a loss and in a hurry, Zhang Dabiao's buddy suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he ran to the people in the official mansion and muttered in a low voice: "My lord, I have an idea here, but I don't know whether to say it or not." When the people in the government heard this, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Dabiao, if you have anything, you can say it, this is the critical moment for us to solve the case, and no clues can be missed." Zhang Dabiao listened, nodded, and said: "I remember that Li Laohan's family has a distant relative named Zhao Ergou, this kid is usually busy in the city, so he doesn't go back to the village." But this time Li Laohan's house set up a banquet, he was good, ran back, and walked around the yard non-stop, and he didn't see him eat. I thought something was wrong with him at the time, and now that I think about it, he's the one who poisoned him. As soon as the people in the government heard this, they immediately became energetic, and hurriedly sent someone to the city to arrest Zhao Ergou. It didn't take long for Zhao Ergou to be taken to the official mansion, and after being interrogated, he really admitted that he had been poisoned.
It turned out that Zhao Ergou had always been jealous of the good life of Li Laohan's family, and felt that Li Laohan's son could be admitted to Xiucai because he accounted for the good feng shui in the village. There was an imbalance in his heart, so he had a bad idea, planning to poison the pig feed of Li Laohan's family, so that Li Laohan's family would make a big fool of himself at the banquet. He got "broken intestine grass" from the city and secretly mixed it in pig feed, thinking that he could achieve his goal without knowing it. But he never expected that Zhang Dabiao, a pig killer, had such a smart nose, and he immediately smelled the catty in the meat. I didn't expect the people from the government to find out about him so quickly. Faced with ironclad evidence, Zhao Ergou could only bow his head and admit his guilt.
The people of the government escorted Zhao Ergou back to the village and asked him to admit his mistake in front of the whole village. As soon as Li Laohan's family and villagers heard the truth, they were angry, and they accused Zhao Ergou of being ruthless and doing such a hurtful thing out of jealousy. Zhang Dabiao looked at the back of Zhao Ergou being escorted away, and his heart was also mixed. He didn't expect that he accidentally discovered that such a big case would be revealed. Unexpectedly, his nose turned out to be the key to solving the case.
In order to thank Zhang Dabiao for saving his life, Li Laohan's family specially invited him to his home for a sumptuous meal. Zhang Dabiao couldn't refuse, so he had to go. At the dinner table, Li Laohan's family kept thanking him and praising him for being a good person and blessed. Zhang Dabiao listened to the joy in his heart, but he knew that it was all a coincidence. He felt like he was just doing what he had to do. As he ate, he thought that if he hadn't noticed something wrong in the meat, Li Laohan's family might still be in the dark.
After eating, Zhang Dabiao said goodbye to Li Laohan's family and returned to his home. He lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He felt that his experience was so amazing, it was like a dream. Early the next morning, Zhang Dabiao got up and started a new day in good spirits. Zhang Dabiao, this kid, has always been thinking about Li Laohan's goodness, and wants to kowtow to his grave to show his heart. With some paper money and incense candles in his hand, he walked all the way to Li Laohan's grave. He knelt down, knocked his head three times, and lit the paper money and incense candles. He silently thought in his heart: "Lao Li, you can bless our village over there." Although this incident was an accident, it was also a breath of relief for you. Don't worry, I'll take care of my family. After the worship, Zhang Dabiao felt a lot more at ease, and went home to continue his little life.
After that, Zhang Dabiao became more attentive to his work, and carefully checked every time he killed pigs and sheep, for fear that something would go wrong. And that Zhao Ergou, because he committed a big thing, was sentenced to a heavy sentence by the government, and went to prison, and he regretted it when he thought of the bad things he did. Because of this incident, everyone in Liuhe Village is more united, helping each other and guarding this land together. Zhang Dabiao also became a hero in the village because of his wit and bravery, and everyone praised him.
After paying homage to Li Laohan, Zhang Dabiao returned to the village, feeling that the whole village was immersed in a quiet and solemn atmosphere. The villagers sat together, chatting about this incident, sighing at the unpredictability of people's hearts, and praising Zhang Dabiao's intelligence and courage. Zhang Dabiao stood in the crowd, a little embarrassed to be praised, he waved his hand and smiled: "What's this, our village is a family, and it is appropriate to help each other." As soon as these words came out, everyone admired him even more.
After this incident, Zhang Dabiao also realized that he had to be more careful and couldn't let similar things happen again. So, before each pig is killed, he checks the pig feed to make sure it is clean. His seriousness reassured the villagers. As the days passed, calm returned to Liuhe Village. Zhang Dabiao's skills are getting better and better, and more and more people are looking for him to kill pigs. His relationship with the people in the village has also become more and more harmonious, and everyone likes to chat with him when they have nothing to do.
"Well, he slipped up to the medicine seller, opened his mouth and asked, 'Why is this herb sold?' The medicine seller glanced at him and happily replied: "Big brother, you really have this vision, this herb is a rare thing." Seeing that you know the goods, I will give you a conscience price. When Zhang Dabiao heard this, he felt that the price was quite right, so he bought a few handfuls of herbs and went home. He thought to himself, this herb must be kept, in case it can be used someday. In the blink of an eye, spring returned to the earth, the flowers bloomed, Zhang Dabiao was sharpening his knife at home, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door in a hurry outside. He put down what he was doing, and as soon as he opened the door, good fellow, an unknown buddy stood panting in the doorway. When this buddy saw Zhang Dabiao, he was so anxious as if he was something: 'Brother Zhang, save my mother, she ate the broken intestine grass, and now she is in critical condition!' Zhang Dabiao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "Where is your mother?" The buddy replied: "At the entrance of the village, Dr. Wang, he asked me to find you, saying that there is an antidote to save my mother." Zhang Dabiao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately followed to Dr. Wang's house. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that Dr. Wang was busy checking the pulse of a pale old woman, and it was obvious that the poison was not light. Zhang Dabiao didn't say a word, took out the herbs in his arms, and said to Dr. Wang: "Doctor Wang, this is the antidote, give it to the old man's family!" Dr. Wang took the herbs, looked at them carefully, nodded and said, "That's right, it's the antidote, boil water for the old man to drink!" In a few moments, the herbs boiled into a potion. Dr. Wang carefully fed the old woman to drink. After a while, the old woman's face slowly improved, and her breathing became steady. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and they all exaggerated Dabiao's wit and bravery. The buddy was even more grateful, kneeling in front of Zhang Dabiao, his head banging, thanking him for saving his life. Zhang Dabiao helped him up and said with a smile: "It's all fate, if your mother hadn't eaten that herb, I wouldn't have used this herb." Now that the old man is fine, you can rest assured. The buddy nodded gratefully and took his leave. Zhang Dabiao also returned home and continued his life as a pig slaughterer. Since then, Zhang Dabiao's reputation has become even louder, he is not only a skilled pig slaughterer, but also a man with affection and righteousness. When the people in the village mentioned him, they all gave him a thumbs up and praised him. Liuhe Village has become more harmonious and beautiful because of good people like Zhang Dabiao. Everyone helps each other, cares for each other, and creates a warm and harmonious home together. "
