Chapter 173 Alcohol Maniac
Miao Yongding, Gongsheng, Jiangxi, is as drunk as life, and his relatives and friends are as afraid as tigers. On this day, Miao Yongding went to his uncle's house. Miao was funny and good at telling jokes, and the guests were very happy to talk to him. After drinking together, Miao Yongding was very drunk. After drinking, he went crazy and began to curse. His words offended the guests. The guests were very angry and the seats were in an uproar. The clan uncle came out to mediate. Miao said that he favored the guests and was angry with him. The clan uncle had nothing to do, so he had to inform Miao's family. When the family heard the news, they came and helped Miao Yongding home.
As soon as he was put in **, Miao's limbs were stiff. He touched it with his hand and his breath was cut off.
After Miao Yongding's death, he was driven away by a black hat man to an official office. The house was green and magnificent. The black hat man took him to the stage, as if waiting for the county magistrate to be promoted. Miao Yongding thought to himself: What crime have I committed? It's just a swearing after drinking. Do you need to have a lawsuit?
He secretly looked at the black hat man and saw that he stared angrily, and his pupils were like cows. He couldn't help but be frightened and dared not ask about the crime. I just want to say, "It's not a big crime to be with the population corner." Suddenly, an official in the lobby announced his intention: the whistleblower will come back tomorrow morning.
When the crowd heard the words, they became birds and beasts.
Miao Yongding also followed the black hat man out. Because he had nowhere to settle down, he shrank his head and stood under the eaves. The black man said angrily, "The scoundrel alcoholic, it's getting dark. Everyone is looking for a place to eat and sleep. What are you doing here?" Miao Yongding's body trembled and said, "I don't know what happened. I didn't have time to inform my family. There is no silver around me. I don't know where to go."
Black hat man said, "Crazy alcoholic, you have money to buy wine, but you don't have money to live in the store? If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will break your bones with a punch. Miao Yongding bowed his head and dared not make a sound. Suddenly, a man came out of the room. At first glance, he saw Miao. He was very surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"
Miao Yongding looked up and saw that this man was his uncle Jia, who had been dead for several years. In an instant, he suddenly realized: Is he also dead? Thinking of this, my heart became more and more sad, and I couldn't help begging with tears: "Uncle, save me." Jia looked at the black hat man and said, "Dongling is not an outsider. Please go into the humble house to talk."
When the two entered the house, Miao Yong saluted the black hat man and begged, "Please show mercy." Jia set up wine and vegetables, and the three of them drank together. During the banquet, Jia asked, "What's wrong with my nephew? Is it that bothering you?" The black hat said, "The king drove out and visited Taishang Laojun. On the way, he saw his nephew swearing wildly, so he ordered me to arrest him and plead guilty."
Jia asked, "Have you seen the king?" The black hat said, "The king and the old man have tried the case of Huazi together, but they haven't returned yet." Jia asked again, "What crime did my nephew commit?" The black man shook his head and said, "I don't know either. However, the king hates drunken people the most. When Miao Yongding heard the words, he was sweating like rain, his hands trembled, and he couldn't even hold his chopsticks.
After a while, the black hat man got up and said goodbye and said, "I'm so disturbed by Brother Jia for holding a banquet. Now that I am full of wine and food, I will give my nephew to you for safekeeping for the time being. When the king returns, I will come to visit again. Go out of the house.
Jia and Miao Yongding said, "My nephew has been the only one in the family since he was a child. His parents regarded him as a pearl in his palm, and he couldn't even bear to say a heavy word. When you are sixteen or seventeen years old, when you have three glasses of wine, you will take the initiative to make trouble, pick faults, speak a little discord, and immediately kick the door and scold. At that time, you were young and didn't blame you. But after more than ten years, why don't you make progress? What can I do if I'm involved in a lawsuit now?"
Miao Yong cried bitterly and said, "I know I'm wrong. Please help my uncle." Jia picked him up and comforted him, "My uncle is very famous for opening a shop here. The person who is good at drinking is the messenger of Dongling. He often comes to my uncle's shop and has a good relationship with me. The king may not remember your scolding. When I turn around, I will plead with Mr. Dongling, and maybe I can spare you this time. After thinking about it, he said, "But this matter is a great responsibility. Without 100,000 coins, it will be difficult to settle."
Miao Yongding said, "As long as you can get out of trouble, money is not a problem. I'll figure it out." Jia said, "This is the best." That night, Miao Yongding rested at his uncle's house.
The next day, the black hat man came to visit. Jia invited him into the house and talked to each other secretly. After a long time, Jia went out of the house and said to Miao Yongding, "It's done. He will come again later. There are small savings in our store, and we will give it all. First, we will advance the silver two for you and make a contract. It's not too late to pay back after my nephew's return.
Miao Yongding said happily, "How many silver taels do you need?" Jia said, "One hundred thousand." Miao Yongding said, "So much? Where can I get it together? Jia said, "One hundred thousand taels refers to the underworld coin. It only needs a hundred pieces of paper, which is enough." Miao Yongding said happily, "It's easy to do."
I didn't see the black hater coming until noon. Miao Yongding was extremely bored and wanted to go around the market. Jia told him, "Don't go far." Miao Yongding casually agreed and came to the street. There were many shops beside the street, and there were vendors everywhere, which was no different from the world. When I came to a place, the high wall was full of thorns, which seemed to be a prison. Opposite a restaurant, business is booming, passenger flow, in and out. There is a long stream outside the building. The stream is like ink, rolling and bottomless.
Miao Yongding stopped by the stream and was peeping from his eyes. Suddenly, he heard a person in the restaurant shouting, "Why is Mr. Miao here?" Miao Yongding looked back and saw that the person who shouted was Weng Xiucai from the neighboring village, an old friend ten years ago. Both of them shook hands and talked, both of whom were invincible.
Weng Xiucai invited Miao into the room and set up a banquet. The two said goodbye to each other. Miao was exempted from the crime and met his old friend. He was overjoyed. At the moment, he drank as much as he could and drunk as mud. During the banquet, he was so cute that he began to get drunk again. In his words, he said all kinds of wrongs. The scholar looked unhappy and said, "I haven't seen you for several years. Why haven't you changed your stinky problem?"
Miao Yongding has always hated people for saying that he is not good at wine. Hearing this, he became more and more angry. He patted the table and shouted and scolded. Weng Xiucai was angry and brushed his sleeves and came out. Miao Yongding chased to the stream and reached out to pull his hat. Xiucai was furious and scolded, "What a fool." One pushed him into the stream.
The stream is not very deep, but the sharp blade in the water is dense, piercing the waist and ribs and calves. Miao Yongding's limbs are difficult to move. He shouted for help. He only feels that the wound is very painful and hurts into the bone marrow. The black water is mixed with feces. Whenever Miao opens his mouth and exhales, the sewage pours into the throat one after another, which is even more uncomfortable.
There were as many onlookers on the shore as the wall. They only opened their mouths and laughed, but no one was willing to help. The situation was very critical. Fortunately, Jia heard the news and rushed to check. Seeing that Miao Yongding was in a dangerous situation, he was shocked. He was about to rescue him, brought him back to the store, and scolded, "Bad boy, you are simply hopeless. After death, you still don't know how to repent and want to return to life? People like you deserve the punishment of an axe and a saw.
Miao Yongding was very afraid and cried, "I know I'm guilty." Jia originally scared him. Seeing that he knew his mistake, he said, "Mr. Dongling visited. After waiting for a long time, he was busy with official business and left first. I have made a contract for you and paid a thousand coins; the remaining two pieces of silver will be given in ten days. If you return this time, remember to collect funds, buy more paper money, burn in the wilderness at night, and call your uncle's name. I will accept it.
Miao Yongding agreed one by one. Jia urged him to leave quickly and sent him all the way to the suburbs. He also told him, "Don't break your promise and get fat. It will make me suffer." Give him directions and let him go home.
Since Miao died, he has been lying in bed for three days. His family was so anxious that they planned to go to the earth for him, but when he touched Miao's chest, there was still some warmth, and his nose was like a lingering breath, and it was not broken. When he was at a loss, Miao Yongding suddenly woke up, vomited, and spit out several buckets of black water, which was smelly.
After vomiting, the sweaty quilt, Miao Yongding was refreshed all over. He began to talk about the hell experience. As he spoke, the pain on his thighs was suddenly unbearable, and the waist and ribs were also very painful. After a night, the wound abscess became more and more uncomfortable. The only relief was that the wound did not rot.
Ten days later, Miao Yongding's injury improved and he was able to walk with a stick. His family asked him to repay the underworld debt. Miao calculated the cost, but he couldn't do it without counting two silver. He was stingy and said, "Maybe the debt is just a drunken dream. Even if it's true, Mr. Dongling gave me back selfishly and didn't dare to tell Pluto that he knew. You don't have to pay off these more than 90,000 yuan. The family tried hard to persuade him, but Miao would never listen. But I was so heartbros that I didn't dare to drink from now on.
When his fellow villagers saw him making progress, Du Dai Miao Yongding was very happy, and sometimes he would take the initiative to ask him for two drinks, and stop at the point. After a year in a blink of an eye, Miao Yongding gradually forgot the debt, became bold, and began to resume his bad habits. On this day, Miao Yongding was drinking at his hometown. After drinking, he cursed as usual. The owner was furious and drove him out of the door and ignored the door. Miao Yongding scolded for a long time before his son knew it and quickly helped him home.
As soon as Miao Yongding entered the bedroom, he suddenly knelt down on the wall, couldn't help kowtowing and said, "This is to pay off the debt, this is to pay off the debt." After saying that, he fell to the ground and died in anger.
