In our magnificent China, there is such an inconspicuous little corner called Liuhe Village.
This place is beautiful and the people are honest, but don't underestimate it, under this calm water, there are many strange stories.
I will give you a nag today, that winter, the bricklayer Lao Li Tou attended the banquet, with the strength of the wine and a warm heart, the old tomb in our village that had been abandoned for many years was repaired, and he accidentally escaped a catastrophe.
Lao Li Tou, that is a celebrity in our Liuhe Village, the bricklayer craftsmanship is unique, and the people are also sincere.
He was not tall, his skin was tanned by the sun, and his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled, as if he could squeeze out the sun.
If there is a big or small matter in the village, as long as he can help, he will never refuse.
On that day, the Zhang family in the neighboring village had a happy event and specially asked Lao Li Tou to help build the tile roof of the new house.
Full of wine and food, Lao Li Tou was a little drunk by the enthusiasm of the villagers, but the beauty in his heart was sweeter than drinking honey.
Late at night, Lao Li refused the Zhang family's retention and staggered on the way home.
The moonlight was faint and the wind was cold, but Lao Li Tou's heart was warm, thinking about the hot kang head at home and the hot noodle soup prepared by his wife, and his steps were unconsciously brisk.
Walking and walking, Lao Li Tou found that there was an empty grave on the side of the road by the starlight, the grave was overgrown with weeds, the tombstone was crooked, and the handwriting was blurred, which made people sad to look at.
Lao Li's heart was tight, and the old people in the village often said that the desolate grave was heavy and unlucky.
But when he thought about it, he had never done anything bad in his life, what were he afraid of?
Besides, it's pitiful that this grave is ruined like this.
Lao Li Tou stopped, and the strength of the wine seemed to be diluted by this kind thought.
He looked around, and saw stone slabs and dry branches not far away, and he had an idea.
He first straightened the tombstone with great difficulty, then found stones to stabilize it, then cleared the weeds from the grave with branches, and finally took out a few tiles from his pocket and carefully set them on the side of the tombstone, adding some life to the nameless tomb.
After working for a while, Lao Li was so tired that he was panting, but looking at the repaired grave, his heart was so comfortable.
He bowed to the grave and said to himself: "Old brother, although I don't know who you are, we are all digging in the soil, this grave is repaired, and you can rest in peace." After repairing the tomb, Lao Li Tou continued to rush home, but after a few steps, strange things came.
The sky that was originally quiet and quiet suddenly became fiercely windy, dark clouds pressed on the top, lightning and thunder roared, and heavy rain roared down.
Lao Li Tou thought to himself, this weather is changing, and it seems that he is going to suffer a little.
Gee, that's weird.
That day, Lao Li Tou ran to the bottom of the cliff to hide from the rain, and the rain was like a scoop, but his piece was like an invisible cloth blocking it, and he was stunned that not a drop of rain was touched.
Lao Li Tou was surprised and delighted in his heart, thinking that this must be a gift specially given to him by God when he saw that he usually did good deeds and accumulated virtues.
Early the next morning, the rain stopped and the sky cleared.
Lao Li Tou returned to the village, and when he saw it, he realized that the rain last night was not simple, the flash flood occurred, and several houses were washed away.
But there was nothing wrong with Lao Li Tou's house and the deserted tomb he had repaired.
As soon as this matter spread, the people in the village talked about it, and they all said that Lao Li Tou had accumulated great virtue this time, and even God took special care of him.
Later, there was a well-informed old man in the village, and after carefully looking at the blurred handwriting on the tombstone, he realized that the deserted tomb turned out to be the tomb of an ancient general.
This general fought bravely and well during his lifetime, protected the people, and should have a spirit after death.
Lao Litou's good deed of repairing the tomb may have touched the general's heroic spirit to get this protection.
Since then, Lao Litou's prestige in the village has risen to a higher level, but he still maintains that simplicity and kindness.
Every New Year's holiday, he would bring incense and paper money to worship in front of the repaired deserted grave.
The villagers of Liuhe Village have also learned the kindness of Lao Li Tou, and the neighbors have become more harmonious and help each other, becoming a well-known harmonious village.
This is the story of Lao Li Tou of Liuhe Village who came back from eating a banquet, repaired a deserted grave, and escaped the disaster with good deeds.
In this story, we see the brilliance of human nature, and also experience the simple truth of "good is rewarded".
Ladies and gentlemen, after listening to this paragraph, do you also feel warm in your heart, and you want to do something good?
The story of Lao Li Tou is spreading more and more widely in Liuhe Village, like a fire in winter, warming everyone's heart.
At that moment, Lao Li Tou'er patted his chest, took out a bottle of treasured Erguotou from his arms, and grinned: "Let's have a good drink today, I know that you are good, I have treasured this wine for a long time!" As soon as the words fell, Lao Li Tou'er unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and first sprinkled it on the ground, which was regarded as a salute to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and then took a sip of it himself.
He seemed to be able to see the heroic soul of the ancient general, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth with him.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the snowflakes around the desolate grave, as if dragged by some mysterious force, slowly gathered in front of the tombstone and formed a small snowdrift.
Lao Li'er's eyes widened, and the snowdrift slowly turned into a human form, and the image of a general wearing armor and holding a spear became clearer and clearer.
Lao Li Tou'er opened his mouth wide in surprise, a warm current surged all over his body, and tears were about to come out.
"Old Li Tou'er, thank you for repairing my grave so that I can rest in peace.
I have taken your good deeds to heart. The general's voice was low and powerful, as if it had traveled through time and space, and reached the ears of Old Li Tou'er.
Lao Li'er's hands trembled so badly that he was so excited that he couldn't speak, but he just nodded vigorously.
The general smiled slightly, and then said, "I guarded this land in my life, and I don't want to see the people suffer after I die.
If you have a good heart, you will be rewarded.
Today, I'll give you a treasure, which is a thank you. As soon as the words fell, the general waved his hand, and a golden light flashed, and a simple jade pendant fell into the hands of Lao Li Tou'er.
The jade pendant is warm and smooth, and it is engraved with complex lines, as if it hides infinite power.
"This jade pendant is called 'heart goggles', which can keep you and your family safe.
But remember, kindness can't be lost, otherwise the goggles will be in vain. The general's voice became farther and farther away, and the figure slowly disappeared, leaving Lao Li Tou'er alone, holding the heart guard in his hand, stunned.
Since then, although Lao Li'er's life does not seem to have changed much, he clearly feels that the life of the family is getting smoother and smoother, and no matter what difficulties he encounters, he can always turn the danger into a disaster.
People in the village said that it was Lao Li'er's good deeds that touched heaven and earth, and only then did he have this blessing.
That heart goggles, Lao Li Touer has always carried it close to him, never leaving his body.
In the dead of night, he would always touch the jade pendant and silently recite in his heart: "Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, and you have to rely on your conscience to be a man." ”
The years are unforgiving, and in a blink of an eye, Old Li Touer is also old.
He has a full house of children and grandchildren, all of whom are filial and promising, and Liuhe Village has also become more harmonious and beautiful under his influence.
Lao Li Touer often sat under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village and told the children stories of his youth, especially the experience of building graves to avoid disasters.
The children listened fascinated, and their eyes flashed with curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.
Until one day, Lao Li Touer closed his eyes peacefully and finished his ordinary and legendary life.
The people in the village were convinced when they heard the story of our old Li Tou, and according to the idea he had before his death, he was buried on the edge of the deserted tomb, and the ancient general was a companion, and he continued to guard our place and people.
After that, the villagers of Liuhe Village believed that good will be rewarded, evil will be rewarded, and God will see it in the eyes of God if the heart is good.
Lao Litou's story, as well as his story, have become the most widely spread stories in our Liuhe Village and even the surrounding areas, inspiring generations of future generations to pass on love and warmth and protect the beauty of the world.
After Lao Li left, the life of Liuhe Village was still like that, but his good thoughts, like seeds in the field, quietly took root in the village and blossomed and bore fruit.
Our old Li Tou's grandson, Xiao Lizi, grew up listening to his grandfather's story, and was very curious about the deserted grave and the heart guard.
In the dead of night, he sneaked to the grave, looked at the tombstone, and silently thought in his heart: "Grandpa, what you said is true, right?"
Can I be like you and change something with kindness? "Although Xiao Lizi is young, in his bones, the tenacity and kindness are all handed down by Lao Li.
He knows that the real strength is not in those treasures outside, but in the beliefs and actions in his own heart.
So, Xiao Lizi began to practice this good idea in her own way.
In the spring, he organized the young people in the village to clean up the river together to make the river clear and bright; In the summer, he took his children to plant trees to add some greenery to the village; In the autumn, he helped the lonely old people to harvest their crops so that they would not starve or freeze; In winter, he went door-to-door delivering firewood and food to keep the cold days warm.
Xiao Lizi's kindness slowly infected the entire Liuhe Village, and the villagers also began to participate in public welfare activities spontaneously, helping each other and building their homes together.
Liuhe Village has changed, the environment is beautiful, and the relationship between people is more harmonious.
But fate is a thing that always likes to joke with people.
Liuhe Village was enjoying this tranquility and beauty, when suddenly a flood came, and it rained heavily for three days and three nights, and the torrent rushed down like a beast, breaking the bridge, flooding the fields, and the houses were in danger.
In the face of this disaster, the villagers of Liuhe Village did not flinch, and everyone united to fight the flood together.
Xiao Lizi took the lead, led the young people, and built a defensive line with sandbags to protect their homeland.
In the process, he always remembered his grandfather's words: "Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil." He firmly believes that as long as everyone is united, disaster can be defeated.
Just as the flood was about to break through the last line of defense, a miracle happened.
Gee, that's a sight to behold!
On that day, a light as bright as an electric light bulb flashed in the sky, and with a whoosh, it went straight to the deserted tomb.
Immediately afterward, a warm, ox-like force emerged from the grave, and in one fell swoop formed an ironclad barrier to hold the flood at bay.
Everyone in the village was dumbfounded, and there were many discussions, some said that this was the soul of Lao Li Tou, and some said that this was God's reward for the good deeds of our Liuhe Village.
Xiao Lizi knelt in front of the grave at that moment, tears in his eyes, and he knew in his heart that this was the most precious thing his grandfather left him - the power of good.
As soon as the flood receded, although Liuhe Village was devastated, everyone worked together, and it didn't take long for it to regain its former vitality.
The tomb has become sacrosanct because of this, and the villagers have come to worship and thank it for protecting our home.
Xiao Lizi also figured out and understood his grandfather's thoughts, and knew that although the heart shield was mysterious, what could really protect his family and the village was the kindness and unity in everyone's hearts.
He decided to pass on the goggles to the next generation, so that it will become the spiritual symbol of Liuhe Village, inspiring generations of people to pass on love and warmth and protect the world.
Time flies, and the story of Liuhe Village is still circulating in this land.
In the dead of night, everyone gathers around the bonfire and tells the story of the old Li Tou and the little Li Zi, and there will be a knowing smile on their faces.
They know that this kindness and the power of unity will always accompany Liuhe Village towards a brighter future.
Lao Li seems to have been guarding us in the sky, and his smile is like the winter sun, warm and illuminating our way.
