The old man left with a bag of rice. Soon he came to the river, got on the big boat, and put the rice in place. He had nothing to do but sit on the big boat and take a look at the surrounding scenery. No, by this time, I was gradually getting better and no longer as irritable as before.
I rowed to a remote place. Although the weather was very cold, I was too thin to go see a person. He was a distant relative. I was passing by and had no choice but to go and have a look because there were rumors recently that this relative had a disease. Due to this disease, he was almost emaciated from head to toe. The strength he used to have was so strong at this time that it had been blown away by the rain and wind and no longer existed.
Originally, the old man didn't want to disturb others, but as he was sitting on the bow of the boat and paddling downstream, he suddenly heard someone sitting in front of the house shouting. Even a person with poor ears would be intimidated by such loud shouting. It is impossible not to hear, not to mention that in the past few days since I was old and thin, due to taking some nourishing and nourishing products, my whole body has gradually become stronger, my ears and eyesight are clearer, and I am no longer in the same state of decline as before.
Since someone is yelling, it would be impolite not to visit the person at this time, and it could even be said to be unnatural.
The old man originally expected to make a lot of money selling some rice during this trip, but he unexpectedly ran into a group of robbers. Fortunately, one of them, a good man with a pockmarked face, persuaded him, otherwise, his fat body would have been lost. The meat may not be guaranteed either.
To escape at this time, I should really thank God for the blessing and the help of the hero with the pockmarked face. Otherwise, Lao Shou might get angry and start fighting with that group of people, and it might be over by then.
After Lao Shou escaped from the control of that group of people, he met an acquaintance again in this unfamiliar place, and he was somewhat related to this acquaintance. He was very happy for a while, and he had to go and see it no matter what, not to mention the other person. At this time, he was standing in front of the house and shouting endlessly. For this reason, it was obviously impossible not to visit others.
Lao Shou didn’t have anything valuable on this trip, just some rice. Thousands of kilograms of rice were robbed. At this time, there was only this much left, only this bag of rice. When he heard his relatives shouting, he carried it I picked up the bag of rice and walked slowly towards my relatives' house.
The old thin man had an injury on his head. It was very difficult to carry the bag of rice at this time. He gradually felt weak. He had to sit down and looked at his relatives' house. It seemed that they were still far away. He was speechless for a while and even planned not to visit. Well, just go back and forget it.
But at this time, the old man calculated his fingers and came up with an excellent strategy. Why not use a pole to carry this bag of rice?
The old man thought he could do it, so he ran to the big boat, took off the pole, took the rope, and walked towards the rice. He saw a stone next to him, and there happened to be a round hole in the middle of the stone. The rope was put through, tied, and tied on one end of the pole. Rice was placed on the other end of the pole, just enough to be picked up. I felt that this method was really good. It was much more comfortable to carry it on my shoulders than to carry it.
In this way, the old man picked up a bag of rice and a stone, and walked slowly to his relatives' house. After walking for a while, for some reason, the weather was not kind, and it actually rained a little, which drenched everyone. His body was so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to curse at his mother.
On the way to a relative's house, I had to walk through a swamp. The mud was so deep that it was almost impossible to pull it out even if I stepped on it. At this time, the old man was about to retreat again, "This is too difficult to walk, ugh." !" The old man wiped the sweat from his face and let out a long sigh.
When I was about to leave, there seemed to be a home among the trees. A man was sitting at the door of the home. If I looked carefully, could it be that he was my relative?
At this time, a rabbit jumped over from the mountain and also jumped into the swamp. However, when it jumped into the mire, it tossed a few times and fell deeply into it. Soon after, it was completely submerged in the mud. , can't be seen.
"This road is really hard to walk on. Alas, if this continues, I'm afraid I won't dare to go forward..." The old man was so anxious that he almost lost weight.
However, with the encouragement of relatives, Lao Shou picked up the load (a bag of rice and a stone), plucked up the courage, and walked forward without hesitation. This load weighed at least a hundred kilograms. In order to make it easier to choose, Lao Shou was not willing to throw away the stone, even though the stone weighed almost fifty kilograms, even heavier than the bag of rice.
After walking for a while, maybe the stone was not tied securely, but the stone actually fell from one end of the pole and fell into the mud. At this time, the old man quickly put down the burden and placed the rice on a dry place. I jumped into the mud and had to dig out the stone from the depths of the mud. Otherwise, the burden would be difficult to carry and it would not be a problem.
After digging around in the swamp for a while, I didn't find any stones, but I did get a big fish. However, Lao Shou was not interested in this at this time, so he quickly released the big fish, "You go, I don't need you today, you will be here in a few days." Come into my hand again." After the old man said this to the big fish, he let it go and touched the stone wholeheartedly.
After touching for a while, the old man, maybe due to bad luck or something, actually fell deeply into the swamp. It looked like he was going to be in danger, and he was going to die in an instant. In desperation, , the old thin man shouted for help, "Help!"
At this moment, a shepherd boy hurriedly came forward. He originally wanted to pull the old thin man's hair, but there was nothing on the old thin head. It was a barren land with no grass and nothing to hold on to. So he made an expedient decision. , and had no choice but to grab his piece of clothing that was left outside the swamp and slowly pull it up.
"Why did you come into this swamp?" the shepherd boy asked with a smile.
"I lost the stone." Lao Shou replied sheepishly.
"Oh, you really are. As for being trapped in a swamp for a broken stone, luckily I arrived in time, otherwise it would have been hard to tell." The shepherd boy said with a smile.
"Thank you very much." The old man said this, and then he carried the stone to the side of the rice, ready to continue walking forward.
Seeing that it was getting late, the shepherd boy found it inconvenient to stay here for a long time, because people had spread rumors that this place was quite unclean and that there were some bright halls. There were quite a few people who died for this reason. Otherwise, they would not have left in such a hurry. .
"You should leave quickly, don't stay here, it's unclean, there are ghosts!" The shepherd boy dropped these words, drove up his cow, and disappeared in an instant.
The old man picked up the stone and the bag of rice, walked through the swamp, and headed forward, because he clearly heard someone calling him, and the voice belonged to his relatives, so he didn't want to go now. Take a look, is that still a human being?
After picking forward for a while, the old man originally thought that his relatives' house was just ahead, and he estimated that it would be there at this time, otherwise, he would not have arrived.
But when I arrived at the place where I thought my relatives' house was, I could put down my heavy burden and take a good rest, but I found that it was not the case. There were no other people here. For a while, I was really scared to be alone here. No, the old man was gradually frightened and started crying.
The old man is very confident. He clearly heard the shouts of his relatives just now, but why can't he hear them now? There must be something hidden in this. It's better to just put the bag of rice here. Anyway, at this time, he is also Can't pick anymore.
In this way, the old man placed the bag of rice on a stone, and then covered it with some thatch to prevent some thieves from stealing it.
"Hello, uncle, I know you don't want to come out to see me at this time. I don't blame you. Although you took some money before when I wasn't paying attention, I know you did it for medical treatment. My nephew is not here. If you don't mean to be angry, why don't you dare to come out to see people?" Lao Sha asked confused.
"I'm sorry that I did something wrong." The uncle's voice came from the sky.
"Oh, I lost some money in this business. I don't have anything else around me. It's just a bag of rice. It's no respect. I hope you accept it with a smile. Don't think it's too little." The old man dropped these words and for a moment, there He spat on a stone, then hummed a tune and left in a relaxed mood.
The old man climbed onto the boat. By this time, the night was already very dark. Staying alone by the river was a bit boring. No, the old man almost wanted to find a place to stay for the night. , it’s not too late to wait until tomorrow before traveling.
But at this time, there is almost no human habitation within a radius of dozens of miles. Where should I find a place to stay at this time?
There was no other way, so the old man had no choice but to get on the big boat, open the boat, and paddle downstream. Soon, he would definitely find an inn. Then he could rest for a night and make plans again at dawn.
But then a pale hand stretched out from the river. The hand grabbed the side of the boat and grabbed it tightly. It was like an iron clamp. It was almost impossible to let go, and the fingers growing out of it were also very special. Horrifying, the long nails are red and seem to be dripping with blood...
The old man was so frightened that he was about to run away, but when he opened his eyes, everything disappeared. There was no big boat and no female ghost. Everything was normal and extremely peaceful and auspicious.
The old and thin woman was sitting outside, basking in the beautiful sunshine. When she saw the old and thin woman getting up from the bed, she supported her and walked outside.
"Me," said the old thin man, looking at his woman, "I had a terrible dream just now. In that dream, I discovered that I was not a thin man, but a fat man!"
"How is that possible?" the old and thin wife sneered.
"How is it impossible? I remember clearly that in that dream, I was a fat person, but when I returned to the real world, I found that I was still a thin person." Lao Sha said in confusion.
As the couple said this, they walked up the mountain and went to work.
