Idiom story

Liang Guoguo, a doctor named song Jiu, once served as the magistrate of a border county, which is adjacent to the state of Chu. The border barracks of the state of Liang and the border barracks of the state of Chu both planted melons with their own methods. The soldiers of the state of Chu were lazy and seldom watered their melons, so they didn't grow well. The county magistrate of the state of Chu was very angry at the poor growth of the melon in the state of Chu because the melon in the state of Liang grew well. Chu soldiers were jealous that Liang soldiers were better than themselves, so they secretly destroyed their melons at night, so the melons would die. Liang soldiers found out about this, so they asked the county magistrate, also want to secretly go to revenge and destroy the melon field of Chu camp. The county captain asked song about it, and Song said, "Alas! How can this work? It's the root cause of trouble to have a grudge. You'll do the same to others. How can you be so narrow-minded! If you want me to teach you a way, you must send someone to come every night and secretly water their melon garden for the Chu Barracks at night. Don't let them know. " So Liang soldiers secretly went to irrigate Chu soldiers' melon garden every night. When Chu soldiers visited the melon garden in the morning, they found that they had been watered, and the melons grew better and better day by day. The soldiers of the state of Chu were surprised, so they checked carefully and found out that it was the soldiers of the state of Liang. The magistrate of the state of Chu was very happy to hear about it, so he reported it to the king of Chu in detail. After hearing this, the king of Chu was sad and ashamed, and took it as his own heart disease. So he told the official in charge, "investigate the people who went to destroy the melon fields. Do they have any other crimes? It's the Liang people who are secretly blaming us. " So he took out a generous gift, apologized to song, and asked to make friends with the king of Liang. The king of Chu often praised the king of Liang, believing that he could keep his word. Therefore, the friendly relations between Liang and Chu began in Song Dynasty. As the old saying goes, "turn failure into success, turn disaster into happiness." "Laozi" says: "repay others' hatred with kindness." That is to say, such things. Others have done something wrong, where is it worth following!
