这周我在安士全书上读到一个故事，让我很有感触，内容是这样的，湖北麻城县有位官员，积有千金资产，准备赎回二十年前所卖的田产。他的儿子才十二岁，知道后，就问父亲：“当年买我家田产的共有几家？”父亲说：“大约二十多家。”又问：“他们购置田地后，还花费了多少钱？”父亲又把办宴席及其他杂费之数目告诉儿子。儿子听后态度端正地对父亲说：“这样说来，我家要赎回田产，他们就吃大亏了。纵使赎回，必伤阴德。且我家有银钱，还怕买不到田。何必定要争回那二十多家养命之田呢？何况穷苦人家想置一点产业也很艰难，我家要买田却很容易。即使他们用原先的银钱另去买田，亩数也要減少一半了。況且穷人银钱到手，很容易就花掉了。”父亲沉默许久，说道：“我儿所说很有道理，但墓旁那一十八亩田，定当赎回，以便于祭扫，其余的就不必赎了。”儿子说：“既然如此，当以现在的价格公平购买，不必向他们说是赎回。”父亲也依从了。因此乡人很感激，常在猛将小祠中祈祷祝福。后来其子十八岁时，科举考试接连及第，以部司提升为严州守。有一天他骑马过桥，马却跳跃渡河，忽见空中猛将伸手扶他端坐桥旁，才明白是一向以来乡人为他祈祷之感应。后来享年八十多岁。
古代一个十二岁小孩，都知道要积德行善，做到为他人着想，思人之所未思，虑人之所未虑。而我们现在的人，却什么都不相信，成天就知道蹦迪、打游戏、喝酒。人的一生都是有定数的，活多久挣多少钱生几个孩子，这都是由自己前世积德的福德决定的。不管你信不信，这个宇宙的规则就是这样，所以别再傻傻浪费自己的生命了。有句老话说得好啊，宁可信其有，不可信其无。你相信了照着做对你没有任何坏处，但是若是你不信，等死后才发现是真的，那可就是后悔晚矣，再也不可挽回了。
This week I read a story in An Shiquan, which really moved me. The content is as follows: There was an official in Macheng County, Hubei Province who had accumulated thousands of gold worth of assets and was planning to redeem the land he had sold twenty years ago. His son was only twelve years old. When he found out, he asked his father: "How many people bought my land back then?" The father said: "About twenty." He then asked: "How much did they spend after purchasing the land?" Money?" The father then told his son the amount of the banquet and other incidental expenses. After hearing this, the son said to his father with an upright attitude: "In this case, if my family wants to redeem the land, they will suffer a big loss. Even if they redeem it, it will damage their moral character. Moreover, my family has money, but they are afraid that they will not be able to buy the land. Why must we be determined? How do we fight for the more than 20 fields that support our lives? Not to mention that it is very difficult for poor people to buy some property, but it is easy for my family to buy land. Even if they use the original money to buy another field, the number of acres will be reduced by half. Besides, it is easy for poor people to spend money when they have it." The father was silent for a long time and said: "What my son said makes sense, but the eighteen acres of land next to the tomb must be redeemed for the purpose of sweeping, and the rest will be There is no need to redeem it." The son said, "In that case, buy it fairly at the current price without telling them that it is a redemption." The father also complied. Therefore, the villagers were very grateful and often prayed and blessed him in the small temple of fierce generals. Later, when his son was eighteen years old, he passed the imperial examinations one after another and was promoted to Yanzhou Shou. One day he rode across the bridge, but the horse jumped to cross the river. Suddenly he saw a fierce general in the air reaching out to help him sit upright by the bridge. Only then did he realize that it was the feeling of people from his hometown praying for him. Later he died in his eighties.
In ancient times, a twelve-year-old child knew that he should accumulate virtue and do good, be considerate of others, think about what others don't think about, and consider what others don't think about. But we people today don’t believe in anything and just spend our days dancing, playing games, and drinking. A person's life is determined. How long he lives, how much money he earns, and how many children he has are all determined by the merit he accumulated in his previous life. Believe it or not, this is the rule of the universe, so stop wasting your life foolishly. There is an old saying that goes well, it is better to believe that something exists than to believe something does not exist. If you believe it and follow it, there will be no harm to you, but if you don't believe it and find out it's true after you die, then you will regret it too late and it will never be undone.
