Chinese Traditional Story: The Buffalo Brought Justice For Its Master

Hello everyone. The story I'm going to share today is the buffalo brought justice for its master. During the Qing dynasty, a farmer named Xiao Xianwu lived in the Yanxing district. He raised a buffalo which was very strong but also very gentle. It could cultivate 20 acres of land every day. Even if it were very hungry, it would never eat the seedlings in the field. Xiao Xian liked the buffalo very much and told his 13-year-old son Xinian to graze it every day. One day, Xinian took the buffalo to graze in a mountainous area. He sat in the buffalo's back while it ate grass which grew beside the stream. Suddenly, a tiger dashed after the forest to attack Xinian. The buffalo slowly turned around and lowered its horns towards the tiger. Xinian was terrified and lay motionless on the buffalo's back. When the tiger saw the buffalo coming towards it, it laid down the ground and waited for a chance to attack Xinian. As the buffalo got closer and closer, the tiger prepared to attack. At a critical moment, the buffalo suddenly ran at the tiger and slammed into it with its horns. Because the tiger's target was Xinian, it didn't expect that the buffalo would attack it. The tiger was unprepared and landed on its back with its four feet pointing to the sky. It rolled over and fell into a narrow ditch. Too narrow for the tiger to move, it quickly drowned. When Xinian came home, he told his father what happened. His father was overjoyed to learn that his son's life was spared. A wealthy man named Fusheng Wang lived in the village. He was very bossy and mean. One day, he had an argument with Xiaoxian over the irrigation issue. All the villagers knew that Fusheng was a bully and tried to defend Xiaoxian. Fusheng became so angry that he brought his sons to Xiaoxian's home and beat him to death. Xiaoxian's son appealed for justice to the local government to have the killer punished. But Fusheng robbed the county magistrate with a large amount of silver, so he was found innocent during the trial. Instead, the son was beaten to death in the court. After the father and son were wrongly killed, the relatives were afraid to ask for justice. Xiaoxian's wife stood in front of the buffalo every day and wept. She said, My dear buffalo, thank you for saving my sons from being eaten by the tiger. Now, Fusheng has killed both my husband and my son. Fusheng is a murderer. Who can help me get justice? The buffalo gave a long call when it heard these words. Then it hurried to Fusheng's home and entered the living room. Fusheng, his two sons, and their guests were having breakfast. The buffalo slammed into Fusheng with its horns, killing him. Next, the buffalo turned to the two sons and thrust its horns into them, killing them instantly. The guests were terrified and tried to subdue the buffalo, but in vain. They hurried out and reported what happened to the county magistrate. Because he had unjustly ordered the son to be beaten to death, he was scared to death. The story of how buffalo brought justice for its master spread far and wide. They reminded each other that the gods are watching us and will repay for our good or evil deeds. Thank you very much for listening to the story.
