There used to be an old man named Li. He had three sons. They were the 60-year-old Li boss, the 50-year-old Li second, and the 40-year-old Li third.
The Li family has a wealth of wealth, and there is one special thing: the altar table of his family’s main hall, for many years, has enshrined a half-foot-high stone man. According to the old man Li, this stone man is a totem of the Li family, passed down from generation to generation. As for why a stone man is used as a totem, he is not clear.
That day was the 80th birthday of Old Man Li. There were a great number of friends and relatives, and a dozen tables were opened. After drinking half-heartedly, the old man Li borrowed the wine to Xing and said loudly: “Everyone, old man, I am 80 years old this year. I will take off my shoes tonight. I don’t know if I can open my eyes and put on my shoes tomorrow morning. I have three. Son, I am going to inherit all of these ten thousand family assets to the most filial son.”
Someone asked how to judge who is the most filial. Old man Li said: “Now, these three sons take turns to go to stone. People tell me how to be filial to me, and then everyone will comment and see who is the most filial.”
Everyone in unison Say hello, so, Boss Li walked out first. He came to the stone man, knelt down and banged his head three times, and prayed devoutly: “Boss Li, I am willing to give up ten years of life to his father so that he can be young. At the age of ten, I have honored him for so many years.”
When it was Li’s second turn, he knelt in front of the stone man and vowed to give his father twenty years of his life; As the tide rises, he vowed to give up his father’s life for 30 years, and his three sons will live up to 60 years in total.
The old man Li was very moved when he heard this. He asked his eldest son: “Boss, why do you only give up your life to your father for ten years, but you are not as good as your brother?”
Boss Li is honest and honest, he respectfully replied: “If I give up too much, I am worried that I will walk in front of my father and can’t serve your old man.”
The old man Li nodded his head again and again and was extremely happy. He announced loudly that all three sons were filial. Therefore, in the future, his inheritance will be divided equally among them. In this way, the birthday banquet ended in joy.
Who knows that as soon as it gets dark the next day, the Li family courtyard becomes a mess of porridge: The three sons of the Li family wake up and find that he has become a seventy-year-old man. He was ten, twenty, and thirty years old. Yesterday at the birthday banquet, the vows of the three sons to give up their lives became a reality, but the old man Li was missing. How could this be good?
Just when the family was in chaos and noisy, something more unexpected happened. That night, a vigorous dark figure walked into the eldest son’s bedroom. He was sixty younger. Year-old Li man.
The old man Li woke up his sleeping eldest son. Boss Li rubbed his sleepy eyes, fixed his eyes and exclaimed:”Father, it’s really you?”
Old man Li sneered and said, “I’m back, I hope you can understand it!”
Boss Li sat up like an electric shock, staring at his father blankly.
Old man Li said: “Actually, I am not a human being. I am the spirit made from the stone that our family enshrines. Three thousand years ago, the stone was transformed by the essence of the sun and the moon and transformed into a human being. , It’s me. Every time I live to be eighty years old, on my birthday, I encourage my children to show filial piety and give me life. They think it’s just talking, but they don’t know the magic of the stone man can make them one Words come true, and falsehoods come true. When they become old people and I regained my old age and regained my youth, I will get rid of them, fly far away, and start another brand new life. This time I want to thank you especially because you are very obedient and lead Your two brothers Sheshou give me…”

Boss Li was shivering and was about to open his mouth to shout. Old man Li’s big hands were like iron tongs. Jammed his neck…
The next day, the whole city was a sensation. All three seventy-year-old sons of the Li family “hanged” and died in the house, but their old father still Disappeared without a trace.
In the past ten days, one month after the old man Li’s birthday banquet, a middleman came to the door with the house deed of the Li family and the land deed, saying that the Li family owed a huge amount of money and the owner was early A month ago, he sold all his home’s real estate, fields, shops, etc., to the businessman at a low price, and privately agreed with him to wait thirty days after the birthday banquet before he could come to cash it out.
Now, the death of the person responsible for the Li family, the disappearance and disappearance, has become a headless case, and all the women and children of the poor Li family have been swept out and live on the streets.
One day later, a year later, old man Li appeared on Hainan Island thousands of miles away. At that time, he was only 21 years old, changed his name to Rong Jinshan, and underwent a hotel in the local area. , Became the boss.
On this day, a nearby matchmaker wriggled her hips and came to visit. The matchmaker asked: “Dare to ask Boss Rong, where are you this year? Where is your hometown? Have you ever married a wife?”
Rong Jinshan randomly compiled a place of birth, said his age, and claimed Not yet married. Ghost uncle ghost story.
The matchmaker laughed and said: “I have a good relationship here. The owner of the grandfather who runs a grain and oil shop opposite, his daughter Zu Xiu’er is 17 this year, not to mention how beautiful and virtuous. I only have one son and one daughter, and I don’t want my daughter to marry away. I see your qualifications and status, and Zu Xiu’er is a perfect match!”
Rong Jinshan listened to this with a smile, and said: “The youngest person is alone, and you will be the mother-in-law of the marriage event!”
The matchmaker agreed and left happily. Rong Jinshan walked to the window and looked at the ancestor across the streetBan’s grain and oil shop, grinned and thought: With the stone man he enshrines, another reincarnation is about to begin…
After marrying Zu Xiu’er, relying on the wisdom and experience accumulated throughout life , Rong Jinshan quickly developed and became a wealthy merchant. His wife gave him two children and a daughter, named Rong Lao Da, Rong Lao Er and Rong Xiao Sister. Among them, the second child of Rong is the most filial, equivalent to the boss of the previous life.
Time flies, the stars change, and sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Rong Jinshan is about to usher in his 80th birthday. The birthday banquet is naturally to be handled in a big way, and the filial second child Rong is busy in and out of the office and is responsible for the management.
Three days before the birthday banquet in the evening, Lao Rong took a break and went to a nearby pub for a drink. While drinking, an old man sat down across from him and said to second Rong: “Mr. Rong, hasn’t your father told you about sheshou?”

Lao Er Rong was taken aback: “Who are you? What do you mean by giving up your life?”
This old man is not someone else, but Li Dongchuan, the youngest son of Li Dongchuan. When his father died, he was fifteen years old. Faced with a series of earth-shaking changes in his home, he vowed to get to the bottom and find out the truth. From then on, he wandered all over the world, home from all over the world, inquiring about the whereabouts of grandpa while doing business.
One week ago, he ran into the 80-year-old Rong Jinshan on the streets of Haikou. After several days of secret investigation, he confirmed his conjecture step by step. After his father gave up his birthday, his grandfather was indeed young. At the age of sixty, and sweeping the family wealth, concealing people’s eyes, deliberately “missing” so far, starting a new life.
Li Dongchuan didn’t want to reveal his identity for the time being. He said to Rong Lao Er: “I’m a fortune teller who knows how to calculate. I can figure it out. It may be tonight—at your father’s birthday party at the latest. Before, your father would have an interview with you, asking you to lead your brothers and sisters to give up your life for him and give him your lifespan. You must think that this is just a play for outsiders, so you give up your life to your father without any scruples. On the second day of the birthday banquet, you will be surprised to find that the fake drama has come true. You have really grown old, but your father has disappeared. Then, you will die unexpectedly…”
< br/> Second Rong stared at Li Dongchuan in astonishment, thinking to himself, this old man must be crazy! So he called his buddy to check out, got up and left. Li Dongchuan said behind him: “I will be here for a few days to drink, you can come to me anytime.”
As a result, at dusk the next day, the second person Rong looked flustered. Found it. It was exactly the same as Li Dongchuan had predicted. Just now, his father really talked to him and asked him to take the lead at the birthday banquet. Upon hearing his father’s words, Lao Rong’s back was all wet, and he rushed to the tavern secretly.
Seeing that the other party already trusts him, Li Dongchuan only then revealed his life experience. Rong Lao Er said sweatingly: “Since he knows black magic, how can I beit is good? “
Li Dongchuan said: “I have been thinking about this issue for these years. Since he can make life longevity come true, then I can only make a fuss about life longevity. He quietly told Lao Rong of his method. Lao Rong thought for a long time and sighed, “Well, I can only try it hard!” “
On the birthday feast day, the wine was half full, and Rong Jinshan repeated his old skills and asked his children to give him his life. The second son of Rong greeted his brother and sister in advance, he The two brothers and sisters were kept in the dark, thinking they were just trying to please their father.
Boss Rong walked up to the stone man first, knelt down on the ground and banged his head three times, and said respectfully: “I Rong The boss, grateful for his father’s kindness, is willing to give up his 30-year life span to his father, absolutely nothing. “Everyone cheered.
The next player should be Rong second, but he let his younger sister come first. Younger Rong also learned the same way as her elder brother, and gave up 30 years of life to her father.
At this time, Rong Jinshan couldn’t sit still, he said nervously, “Okay, well, the boss and the third child have given me up to sixty years of life, enough. , The second child does not have to give up. “
How can I think of the most filial and obedient child Rong who is usually the most filial and obedient, but he turned a deaf ear to what his father said. He strode to the altar table and knelt down and shouted: “My second child Rong I would like to give up my 30 years of life to my father…”
When I said this, I saw the old longevity star Rong jumped up close to the mountain, with anxious breath, his tongue gaping, and a sigh of relief. He fainted even when he didn’t come up. He was in a coma and never woke up again.
Rong Jinshan is 80 years old this year, but his two sons and one daughter have given up 90 years of life for him. He, then, early the next morning, a jaw-dropping scene happened: Boss Rong, Boss Rong, and Sister Rong were all thirty years old, and Rong Jinshan in the bed mysteriously disappeared. Someone seemed to see him turning into one. A plume of white smoke drifted to the little stone man on the altar, and drilled through the little stone man’s nostrils.
After discussing with Li Dongchuan, the Rong family asked a blacksmith to make a strong iron. The urn, sealed the stone man on the altar table, sailed to the depths of the sea, and sank the iron urn into the deep seabed.
From then on, whenever there is a ship from When the sea passes by, people will hear the cry of crying along with the waves: “Let me out, let me out, please…”
