During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was an old man Feng who raised horses in Nanjing City. The old man had a son who loved to gossip and brag, and was nicknamed "Feng Tongue."
One day, Old Man Feng caught a cold and was bedridden. Dozens of good horses in the stable were cared for by Feng Tongue. He patted his chest and said, "Dad, don't worry, with me here, the horses won't be hungry!" Old Man Feng did not expect that his son's habit of talking and not doing things had not changed at all. At first, Feng Tongue gave the horses regular fodder, but later he slipped into the library to listen to books. After half a month, dozens of horses were as thin as little donkeys.
One day, a black-faced man came to the stable and wanted to buy a horse. He looked at a black horse, looked up and down, shook his head, and said, "The horse is a good horse, but it is too thin. Did you not take good care of it?"
Feng Tongue's nonsense hair disease was committed again: "I add ingredients to it five times a day, just like taking care of my father. It's not that I'm not dedicated, it's the problem of the horse breed. Some horses are thin no matter how they eat."
The burly man asked again, "Then is your horse fast?"
Feng Tongue bragged: "The horses I raise are all thousands of miles of horses, and this horse can run six feet in the blink of an eye." This cow bragged lightly, "a blink of an eye" is equivalent to one second, six feet is about twenty meters, the speed is fast enough.
The black-faced man said, "What if this horse can't run so fast?"
Feng Tongue said: "Absolutely no problem, even if my horse is dead, it will run six feet in the blink of an eye."
The black-faced man was amused, so he took out ten taels of silver from his arms and said cheerfully, "I ordered this horse, and this ten taels of silver is its forage money. I need to add corn and wheat frequently. When the horse is fattened, I will come and get it, and then pay another fifty taels of silver." Feng Tongue took a deep breath: These days, no one can eat corn and wheat.
This black horse, which was favored by the black-faced man, was commonly known as the "pointed-billed foal". He had excellent foot strength and could not run tirelessly. It was an unparalleled horse. A good horse also picked its mouth and ate only good grain and the freshest grass, and generally looked down on the grass. In recent years, Nanjing suffered from a locust plague, and many people could not afford to eat food. Feng Tongue began to feed the pointed-billed foal corn and wheat. Later, he bought grain, added two and one to make five, took out half of it and ate it himself, mixing it with some dead grass for the horse to eat. The pointed-billed foal could not eat it, and after a few months, it saw that it had lost weight, and then fell ill again, and died within a few days.
Coincidentally, before the dead horse had time to collect the corpse, the black-faced man came. He glanced at the thin-billed horse and sighed, "You fed the horse to death!"
Feng Tongue was anxious, "The horse belongs to our family, and it's none of your business to feed it to death." The black-faced man said, "I've already bought it, and I've brought all the money. This is fifty taels.
Feng Tongue regretted this, and sweat came out of his forehead: "I said it, but..."
The black-faced man said, "The man says everything, and what he says counts!"
Feng Tongue was anxious. He walked to the sharp-billed colt, bent down, and with a shake of his arms, he lifted the sharp-billed colt to his shoulders! Although the sharp-billed colt was so hungry that it was three or four hundred catties thin. Feng Tongue was able to carry it on his body, which shows that he has divine power!
Feng Tongue's veins bulged out of his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and ran in the courtyard. Although he couldn't reach the speed of six feet in a blink of an eye, he was stunned by the black-faced man. Feng Tongue gasped and said, "I'm right, my horse can run six feet in a blink of an eye even if it's dead."
The black-faced man looked up to the sky and laughed: "So I thought the sharp-billed horse was a thousand miles horse, but in fact the most powerful'thousand miles horse 'let me find it."
In fact, this black-faced man is a general who is famous on the battlefield. He saw that although Feng Tongue likes to brag, he is brave and fierce. He was really Lu Bu among the people, and the red rabbit in the horse, so he was recruited into the army.
Feng Tongue fought bravely under the black-faced general and made countless contributions, but just one point, this mouth was too broken and caused a lot of trouble.
Once, Feng Tongue was excited and said a few comments in the barracks. Originally, there was going to be a war tomorrow, and the soldiers had to rest early, but he spoke with great excitement, and the soldiers were all fascinated by it. As a result, the next day of the battle, everyone was so sleepy that they didn't have the slightest murderous intent on the battlefield.
After healing the scar and forgetting the pain, Feng Tongue still went his own way, bragging and talking nonsense about reviewing books. The black-faced general loves generals and cherishes talents, and the truth that "too much talk will lose" has been said thousands of times, but Feng Tongue can't change it.
Half a year later, Feng Tongue became the deputy general of the black-faced general due to his repeated achievements in battle. Feng Tongue, who was able to perform martial arts, had a good reputation, and many generals wanted to recruit him as a fierce general, but Feng Tongue felt that the black-faced general was kind to him and was unwilling to move.
Later, a prince told the emperor that he especially liked Feng Tongue and wanted to take it for his own use. The black-faced general really had no choice but to give up his love.
When Feng Tongue arrived at the palace, his temper did not change at all. Sometimes when he heard the prince talking about the secrets of the imperial court, he would also tell outsiders. When the black-faced general heard it, he was not worried.
One day, the prince received information that a Mongolian assassin was going to assassinate the palace. The prince felt that this was a good opportunity to take credit in front of the emperor, so he asked Feng Tongue to bring someone to arrest him.
Feng Tongue brought his men and wanted to intercept the assassin halfway. At a mountain pass, more than a dozen men in black suddenly appeared. He was about to order the interception, but unexpectedly, all his subordinates were scared away, leaving only Feng Tongue to fight alone.
The man in black blindfolded him, stuffed him into a carriage, turned around, and came to a house. Taking off the blindfold, Feng Tongue was taken aback. In front of him was a huge iron pot containing water, with a diameter of two meters, and firewood was burning under the pot. At this time, several men in black came over and tied his limbs tightly to a large wooden bed, and then the wooden bed was put into the iron pot by them!
Feng Tongue was scared silly, he was going to steam himself! A leading man in black sneered: "If you can move from one end of the pot to the other, I will let you out."
At this time, the water in the pot was getting hotter and hotter. He became anxious and cursed, "My hands and feet are tied and I can't move. How can I float to that end? Thereis no wind in the house."
The man in black said, "No wind? Isn't the wind blowing in your mouth? Aren't you very good at blowing? Your mouth is not blocked, you blow the water in the pot hard, you blow north, you float south."
Feng's tongue weighed nearly 200 catties. Although the water was buoyant, it was easier said than done to move his body with his mouth. He puffed his cheeks and blew for a long time, but the wooden bed was steady and motionless.
In order to survive, Feng Tongue blew desperately, but with the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, the wooden bed only moved three or four inches. Suddenly, his eyes turned black, and he was so tired that he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, Feng Tongue found himself lying in a house. The owner said that more than a dozen men in black wanted to kill him, and after reporting to the official, the men in black fled. A few days later, Feng Tongue gradually recovered, but he felt that his tongue was numb and weak, and it was extremely difficult to speak.
Since then, Feng Tongue no longer likes to talk, and sometimes he wants to talk, but his tongue can't use his strength. Later, he made many military achievements and became a great general on the side of Megatron. Others thought he was a "stuffy gourd" who only did not say anything.
Later, the extremely suspicious Emperor Hongwu went on a killing spree in order to open the way for his children and grandchildren. Those who were convicted of speech were beheaded and dismissed, while the taciturn Feng Tongue was a blessing in disguise and escaped disaster.
A few years later, Feng Tongue got married, and the bride was the daughter of the black-faced general. On the wedding day, the red candle shone brightly on the bridal chamber, and the bride said shyly, "Official, blow out the candles."
Feng Tongue leaned in front of the candle and used his strength for a long time, but he still felt his tongue numb. He didn't even have the strength to blow the candle, so he could only use his fingers to extinguish the wick. The bride smiled and said, "Aren't you very good at bragging?Feng Tongue sighed and said, "No, I can't blow it anymore. Men do things, talk less and do more."
Later, the bride told Feng Tongue a secret. The man in black who "framed" him that time was either someone else or sent by his father. It turned out that the prince had made a lot of enemies in the imperial court, and the imperial court was in a state of panic. The black-faced general was afraid that he would be convicted of his words, so he created false information about the assassin and abolished his "tongue magic."
Feng Tongue was taken aback: "Falsifying information, this is the crime of bullying the king, why did my husband do this?The bride blushed: "In fact, my father has long taken a fancy to your bravery and wants to accept you as my uncle. He said that in exchange for a good general for Daming Jiangshan, he also recruited a good son-in-law, and the risk is worth it!"
