During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, Henan suffered from drought, and the people were struggling to make ends meet. Zhu Changyou had already fallen seriously ill. After this disaster, he passed away, leaving behind a wife and six-year-old son.

In order to prevent his son from starving to death, his mother Bai sent him to a juggling class to learn martial arts with a master. From then on, his son Zhu Kai began to walk in the rivers and lakes to perform, thus getting a bite to eat.

By the time Zhu Kai was eighteen, he had grown into a big boy with big arms and round waists. Coupled with his years of martial arts practice and martial arts skills, he went to the capital alone.

Arriving in the capital, Zhu Kai met a few local ruffians. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Zhu Kai quickly became the head of the ruffians with his martial arts, specializing in collecting debts for others and collecting protection fees.

In a few years, Zhu Kai amassed a lot of ill-gotten wealth by doing these things. Although outsiders saw him as a vicious bully, he was very filial to his mother. He would send her some money every once in a while and let her spend it casually.

In the first few years, Zhu Kai said he had brought his mother to the capital, but her mother was reluctant to leave her hometown. For the past two years, her legs and feet were not good, and she often fell ill, so she had to come to the capital to live with her son.

Not long after coming to the capital, the mother found out that her son was doing some illegal things. She persuaded him many times, but Zhu Kai agreed very well verbally every time, but he still did what he should do.

Once, the old lady was anxious, afraid that her son would suffer retribution if he went on like this, she said angrily: "You are now grown up and your wings are hard. If you dared to do such a thing in the past, I would not chop off your hands! Remember, these ill-gotten gains are not available, and your hands will be dirty! You will regret it one day!"

Zhu Kai had never suffered a loss, and he felt that black money was easy to come by, so how could he stop? What's more, he still had a bunch of friends under his hand who needed him to support, so he completely ignored his mother's words and continued to go his own way.

These few days, her mother stopped talking to Zhu Kai and always looked at him worriedly, sometimes thinking deeply, like making some kind of decision...

Recently, a new rice shop opened on the street. Due to the high quality of its rice and the inexpensive price, the business is very prosperous, with people coming and going every day.

More people went to his house to buy rice, and the business of another old rice shop fell sharply.

The owner of the old rice shop was surnamed Yang. On this day, he found Zhu Kai and gave him two hundred taels of silver to snatch the treasure of the new rice shop.

According to Boss Yang, the treasure of the town shop in Xinmi store is unicorn bronze ware. It is because they worship unicorns that business is so good.

Seeing that the business was well paid, Zhu Kai agreed and decided to do it that night.

Strangely enough, his mother didn't stop him when he went out that night as usual, just looked at him coldly. Zhu Kai didn't think much about it and ran to the new rice shop in the dark.

When he arrived there, there were already a few brothers waiting. He winked at the leader, Xue Wu. Xue Wu opened the door of the rice shop, and a group of people rushed in at once.

A group of people rushed in like a swarm. Strangely, there was no one inside. Zhu Kai went to the lobby of the rice shop to see it, and saw a red cloth hanging on the wall on the north side of the lobby.

I saw the copper unicorn doing a lifelike job, opening its mouth, flying clouds and fog, and it was incomparably majestic! Zhu Kai didn't think about it. He opened his right hand and took it out of the unicorn's mouth, ready to take it away.

Just as he put his hand into the mouth of the copper qilin, the open mouth of the copper qi suddenly closed, and the thistle-like teeth bit Zhu Kai's fingers to death, and blood gushed out immediately.

Zhu Kai exclaimed, and everyone followed the sound, but no matter how hard he broke it, he couldn't break the mouth of the kylin. Zhu Kai screamed in pain there.

At this time, the sound of the yamen's watch came from outside, and a group of people hurriedly scattered. Zhu Kai ran out of the door and met the owner of the new rice shop who heard the sound. He was seen by others, and Zhu Kai knew he could not stay in the capital anymore!

Therefore, he ran to the south alone overnight, and robbed another horse in the middle. He did not dare look back and continued to flee in a hurry.

Until the next morning, Zhu Kai fled to a small town. The three fingers of his right hand were still bitten by the unicorn, and the back of his hand turned blue.

He hurriedly found a Langzhong. It took the power of nine bulls and two tigers to open the copper unicorn's mouth Zhu Kai's three fingers were soft and collapsed, and he lost consciousness.

Lang Zhong told him that this copper qilin was a hidden weapon. Fortunately, he didn't dip poison in his mouth, otherwise it would kill him. Now he only broke three fingers.

After cutting off the remaining finger, Zhu Kai knew that he had no capital to mess around with. If he didn't stop, he had to stop. If he couldn't dance the gun or get the stick, no one would convince him.

Leaving town, Zhu Kai began to wander the world, living a miserable life of hunger and contentment. He missed his mother very much, but he did not dare to go back to see her, for fear of being caught by people in official uniforms.

In this way, after five years, on this day, Zhu Kai saw an old man at a funeral, and the old woman in the photo looked very much like his mother. A sense of yearning arose spontaneously, and he could no longer care about anything else. He gritted his teeth and set off on the road back to Beijing.

A few days later, Zhu Kai finally arrived in the capital. He sneaked back to his home and found that the house was empty and his mother had disappeared.

Zhu Kai felt that something was wrong. Could it be that his mother went home to Henan alone?

Thinking of this, he ran all the way to his hometown in Henan. When he arrived in his hometown of Henan, he still didn't see his mother. At this moment, the neighbor passed by his door and asked in surprise after seeing him, "Kaizi is back?"

Zhu Kai hurried over to ask his neighbors about his mother's movements.

The neighbor asked him to wait for a while, then hurried home. After a while, the neighbor brought a letter and said, "Your mother passed away two years ago, and the villagers buried her together. This is her letter to you!"

Zhu Kai was taken aback when he heard this, and then burst into tears. When he opened the letter, he cried even more.

The first sentence of the letter reads: "My son, please forgive me!

It turned out that the unicorn incident five years ago was a game set up by the mother and the two rice shop owners.

At the beginning, the mother saw that her son was ignorant all day, endangering the village, bullying the people, and robbing a lot of ill-gotten wealth. No matter how much she persuaded him, it was useless, and his behavior was getting worse and worse. If this continues, something big will happen sooner or later!

If he is allowed to indulge in this way, he may be killed in the future.

In order to make him wash his hands, his mother had no choice but to give him a painful lesson, preferring to let him break his fingers and turn back.

So the mother bought a copper unicorn with a mechanism, and at first neither of the two rice shop owners dared to agree with her.

Mother said that if something happened, she would bear it, so that you wouldn't have to be oppressed by him every day!

Seeing their mother's resolute attitude, the two bosses instantly understood her good intentions. She was actually saving her son! Therefore, they agreed with her approach…

Zhu Kai finally understood her mother's good intentions at that moment. She stumbled to her mother's grave, crying, "The child is unfilial!" and knelt there for a long time.
