Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

It is said that once upon a time, there was a farmer named Chen Si, a melon farmer who grew watermelons.

In the summer of this year, Chen's four types of watermelons were in season. In order to prevent anyone from stealing the melons, he built a straw shed in the melon field and lived in it to guard it day and night.

One night, the weather was clear and the moonlight was as bright as day. Chen Si saw from a distance that there were several vague figures under the willow tree over there.

He suspected that those people were here to steal melons, so he pretended to sleep and listened to what they said.

Only one of them was heard saying: "I wonder if Chen Si is asleep at this time?"

Another person said: "You don't care if he sleeps or not, Chen Si will be with us in a few days, what are you afraid of him?

The first person asked: "How did you know?"

The man just now said: "Yesterday when I was on duty at the Earth Temple, I saw an official document from the City God."

Then I heard a third person's voice saying: "Don't you know yet? Chen Si has extended his life span."

Several voices asked at the same time: "What's going on?"

Only a third person was heard saying: "I heard that a family lost two thousand coins, and the master suspected that his maid had stolen it. But the maid refused to admit that she had stolen it.

The master was very angry and tied up the maid and whipped her several hundred times, but the maid still did not admit that she had stolen it.

The servant girl's father was also angry and said angrily: 'It would be better not to have such a daughter at all! If you stole it, I would strangle you to death! ’

The maid asked: ‘Am I your biological child? Others have wronged me, but you don’t help me redress my grievances, and you still say this! Now I will die if I admit it, and if I don't admit it, I will die! ’ After saying that, he cried loudly.

Chen Si's mother was also working as a maid there at the time, and she sympathized with the maid's plight. She quietly took out her clothes and pawned them for two thousand coins. She returned them to the owner and said, "I, an old woman, was confused and greedy for profit and stole this money." I thought that since the master had a lot of money, he might not be able to find out right away, but unexpectedly, this maid was implicated.

I had done something wrong, and I was really frightened. I haven't spent the money yet, and I can't watch her suffer on my behalf, so I came to surrender to avoid any further resentment. But I don’t have the shame to stay here any longer, so I beg the master to be merciful, let me go, and let me leave. ’

When the master saw that someone had brought the money back, he let the maid go.

When the Earth God found out about it, he praised Chen Si's mother for being kind and willing to save others even at the cost of ruining her own reputation. He reported the matter to the City God, who in turn reported the matter to the Dongyue God.

Dongyue God checked the book of life and death and found that it was recorded that Chen Si's life span had come to an end. His mother should have lost her son in her later years, with no one to support her, and finally died of hunger and cold.

Now because of this merit, Dongyue God decided to use Chen Si's lifespan in his next life to let him live a few more years in this life so that he can support his mother. You left after your shift yesterday, and this happened only after you left, so you didn't know about this change. "

Chen Si was originally driven home because his mother stole money from the host's house, and he was filled with resentment. Now after hearing the discussion of those ghosts, I understand the truth of the matter.

From then on, Chen Si no longer resented his mother and devoted himself to supporting her.

Nine years later, Chen Si's mother died.

Shortly after Chen Si took care of his mother's funeral, he died peacefully without any illness or disaster.
