Alcoholic drunkards and black-and-white fickle stories

During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a guy in Hanzhong who was addicted to alcohol. He got up every morning and had to take a sip of sorghum before getting dressed, otherwise he couldn't get out of bed. Take off your clothes at night, and you have to fill half a pot in bed, otherwise you can't sleep. He has a bottle gourd hanging around his waist, so he has to pick it up and have a drink before he can walk three or five steps. Even if the bottle gourd is empty, he should gather up to his nose and smell it. Over time, people call him a big bottle gourd.

It happened that one day, I don't know if Zhang Hulu didn't have enough to eat or what happened. Anyway, he was in a bad state and drunk as a fiddler. Look at him, drinking as he walked, and he was still shouting, "Good wine … good wine … good wine!"

It's exactly New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, everyone is eating New Year's Eve at home, and there are few people on the road. It happened that it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. Zhang Hulu walked and accidentally fell into a sweet potato cellar.

The cellar is not deep, and the bottom is full of soft yellow mud. Zhang Hulu got up and touched his body. Hey, it's really nothing! He tilted his neck back and took another solid sip: "It's really good wine! It's okay to drink so much and fall into the cellar. I have to convince the old woman to brew a few hundred kilograms next year. "

at this moment, he vaguely heard someone talking and the sound of chains dragging on the ground, creaking. Zhang Hulu thought it was an illusion. He pinched his thigh severely, but we almost cried out in pain at once. It's true! He was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth, only to hear a majestic voice say, "Tonight we are going to the original Gongzhuang to catch that big gourd. Black and white are impermanent. Get the chain ready! Master, check the time. "

touts should be a cry, and there was a burst of sound. Zhang Hulu thought, this is probably turning over the book of life and death, and when he heard that he was trying to catch himself, he was too scared to take a bite.

The master here searched the life and death book several times, but he couldn't find the name of Zhang Hulu in the former village, so he asked the land master, "Land master, do you know where Zhang Hulu is? We don't have it in the book of life and death in the underworld. Why can't we see him in the dead? "

The Land Master replied, "The man you are looking for has been buried, so it's no use looking for him in the dead!"

The master didn't speak for a long time, but he should be thinking. Finally, he said, "Never mind, we didn't catch him here tonight, and we will catch him at Changshan's later."

after this sentence was finished, there was no more sound.

Zhang Hulu listened to the cold sweat, and he wrote it down in his heart-he must not go to Changshan in the future, so remember it!

He hid in the cellar all night and didn't dare to make a sound. He didn't dare to shout for help until dawn. Just as the owner of the cellar came to get the sweet potato, he heard the cry for help inside and quickly rescued him.

after Zhang Hulu came up, he repeatedly thanked him and kowtowed to the cellar, which made the cellar owner puzzled. However, Zhang Hulu was shrewd and didn't dare to mention a word about what happened the night before.

In the following decades, Zhang Hulu has been sticking to his own rules. No matter what happens, he will never go to the nearby Changshan Villa, and he will be safe. In an instant, he has lived to be over 7, and he has always kept this secret in his heart.

But coincidentally, one year, when Zhang Hulu married his granddaughter in Changshan Villa, there was a conflict, and the family quarreled fiercely, so he had to be asked to mediate. Zhang Hulu hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't help but be stubborn and agreed. After arriving in Changshan, he really quickly resolved the contradiction. His host was very grateful to him and invited him to drink. Without exception, he was drunk again.

his family carried him to bed and settled him down, and everyone went back to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Hulu was awakened by urine, got up and went to the toilet. He drank too much in the evening and was not familiar with the environment, so he couldn't find the room he used to sleep in when he came back. The wind was chilly, and I was so sleepy at that time, which worried the big gourd. The so-called good luck at the critical moment, just when he was sleepy and unbearable, he touched a cupboard with a mattress and quilt inside, which was so warm! He doesn't care who this is for. Let's sleep warmly first.

Don't tell me that there is no wind and a new mattress and quilt in this cupboard, so it's not beautiful to sleep in it. After about an hour, he was awakened by a strange and familiar sound. A burst of footsteps slowly approached him with the sound of chains mopping the floor. It sounded more than one person.

At this moment, a shrill voice sounded: "Strange, the terrifying asked us to catch the big gourd. We checked that he was still there before going out to the underworld, so why can't we find him?"

A muffled voice replied, "It should be here. Let's look for it carefully."

When Zhang Hulu heard this, he almost scared the urine. The devil really sent a kid to Changshan to catch him. Now it seems that he will stop eating!

Strangely enough, these two kids walked around and turned around for a few times but didn't catch him. Finally, they stopped at the cupboard. The shrill voice said, "Strange, how can I not find it?" Another voice replied, "I wonder, too. Let's ask the land Lord!" "

a little later, the earth god came, and the guy with a shrill voice said, "earth god, we have been ordered by the terrifying god to catch the big gourd. We checked before going out to the underworld. He should be here, but why can't he find it?"

Another voice answered, "God, are you cheating by taking advantage?"

The Land Lord even said that he dared not: "No, no, how dare I? That man has obviously entered the coffin, of course, he can't be found. You'd better go back and check the life and death book again! "

after this sentence was finished, there was no sound for a long time. Maybe the kids were discussing it. About half a wick sweet time, footsteps and chains sounded again, just slowly away.

Zhang Hulu heaved a deep breath, and as soon as he relaxed, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.

The next morning, granddaughter got up early and exclaimed, "Grandpa! How do you sleep in a coffin! "

Zhang Hulu got up when he heard this, didn't he? What cabinet is lying by yourself? It's clearly a coffin! When he thought about it carefully, he must have been unable to find his bed in the dark last night, just touching the new coffin prepared for the old man in advance, and lying in a daze. I didn't expect to hit it right, just to help myself escape again!

after understanding this, Zhang Hulu is happy. He is a lucky man. What can the terrifying face do to me? But complacent, he made up his mind again, and said nothing to Changshan in the future.

After returning home, Zhang Hulu lived in peace for several years. In those days, he was very old, but his drinking hobby remained unchanged. On this day, he got together with some old friends and talked about his youth. They were all very happy, so he made an appointment to go to his old friend Chang Taibao's house for a drink at night.

A few old friends had a good time drinking. During the dinner, some people couldn't help talking about why Zhang Hulu was addicted to alcohol but could live a long life. On a whim, Zhang Hulu proudly told the two adventures. Unexpectedly, others didn't believe him at all, but blamed him for being too thoughtful and not having enough friends, deliberately concealing the secret of longevity. Zhang Hulu told the truth, but no one believed him. He was somewhat disappointed, and the banquet ended in discord.

that evening, Zhang Hulu stayed at Chang Taibao's house. At night, when he fell asleep, he suddenly felt that his body suddenly became lighter. When he opened his eyes, he saw a kid on his left and right, chained around his neck, and then looked back at the bed, where his body was still asleep.

The imp shouted loudly, "Zhang Hulu, I let you cheat and make Yin escape twice before. Today, I'll see where you are going!"

when Zhang Hulu saw that his soul had been hooked away from his body, he trembled with fear and could not speak fluently: "Don't be angry, two big … adults. I didn't mean to hide … twice before. I don't know, so forgive me!" But today you are really ... really mistaken. It's not often ... often ... Changshan here! "

another kid said in a low voice, "How can it be wrong? Chang Taibao ranks third in the family, isn't it Chang San? "

when Zhang Hulu heard this, he was anxious: "How can you do this? Can this Chang San and Chang Shan be the same?"

As soon as the kid shook the chain in his hand, he pointed to the big gourd's nose and shouted, "Do you dare to argue with us? The first time you hid in the cellar and pretended to be in the ground, the second time you hid in the coffin and pretended to be in the coffin, which made you escape twice. The terrifying has already punished us twice! This time, you were arrested at Chang San's house in Chang Tai Bao, which is exactly the same as what was written in the life and death book. What do you have to say! "

Zhang Hulu also wants to argue: "This ..."

The kid with a muffled voice interrupted him impatiently: "What are you struggling for? Do you think you can keep peace forever by overhearing us? Look up at the couplet at the entrance of the Temple of Hades! "

Zhang Hulu looked up, and the first part: Who is not dead in the three realms of Yang? Bottom line: Who has been spared through the ages? Look at that horizontal batch-I was about to arrest you!
