[size=4] Speaking of "heartlessness", there is an interesting story.
A long time ago, there was a young man named Ci Sheng, who was honest and upright. Once, when he came back from collecting firewood, he met an injured turtle on the way, so he took it home and raised it carefully. A few days later, the tortoise recovered. In order to repay Ci Sheng's kindness in conservation, he was given a treasure ball that could bring him back to life.
On this day, Cisheng went up the mountain to get firewood, and on the way, he met a corpse with his heart and lungs hollowed out. Next to the body, there is a wolf and a dog, who died fighting for the cannibal's heart and lungs. Out of kindness, he cut open the stomachs of wolves and dogs with a machete, took out the wolf's heart and the dog's lungs and put them into the body. Then, the man came back to life with the orb. After the resurrection, the man said that he was scolded for something bad, and he was grateful for his kindness.
A few days later, the county government came on several business trips, and Ci Sheng was taken to the county government. It turned out that something bad bought the county magistrate for the treasure in Ci Sheng's hand, saying that Ci Sheng had stolen his things. The bribed county magistrate, willy-nilly, beat Ci Sheng, found the treasure and drove him out of the county government.
After Cisheng came home, he lay in bed angrily and regretted saving this heartless bad thing. In the evening, Ci Sheng had a dream. In the dream, the turtle who gave him a treasure said to him, "The emperor's daughter is ill, and tomorrow she will post a list of recruiting talents." You can take back the treasure by treating the disease. " Ci Sheng said, "But I can't cure the disease." The tortoise said, "That's all right. You can use seven jujubes and seven-color silk threads to cook with Zhu Bao, and then let it take the jujube at one time, and the emperor's daughter's illness can be cured. " Ci Sheng said, "But my orb has been taken away!" The tortoise said, "As long as you see the emperor, it means that the treasure in the prescription must use the one you lost. The emperor has his own way to help you find it."
The next day, the city really posted a list of emperors. Cisheng revealed the imperial list according to the revelation in his dream, and the supervisor took Cisheng into the palace. The emperor asked Ci Sheng what medicine he needed to cure the disease. Ci Sheng said, "Seven dates and a seven-color silk thread should be steamed with the orb." The emperor was very happy after hearing this and sent someone to deal with it. Ci Sheng stopped the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, pearls are generally not allowed, but they must be ..." Before Ci Sheng finished speaking, the emperor couldn't wait to say, "There are plenty of excellent pearls in the palace. Please choose." "no! No matter how good the emperor's orb is, it won't work if it's not his subjects! " "The emperor! The treasure of the subject was taken away by a cruel person! "
Ci Sheng gave a detailed account of his lost pearls. The emperor immediately ordered people to detain the county magistrate and the bad water as a punishment. The county magistrate was dismissed for the people. Baozhu was sent back to Cisheng to treat the princess. The bad water was escorted to the temple and examined by laparotomy. It's really cruel and ruthless.
Since then, the word "heartless" has been handed down as a metaphor for those ungrateful and cruel guys. [/size]
