The old man was sitting on a rock. He didn't know that he was dreaming. He thought it was real. He looked at the jewels and jewels spread out in the palace in front of him. He was very envious and was reluctant to leave, even if he knew something about it. situation.
But in the blink of an eye, I saw the palace very clearly. Looking carefully, I saw that it was not a palace, but a tomb. On the tombstone was a huge word "来" engraved on it. Maybe it was because of this word that some unknown people came to know it. Like moths to a flame, people came here from all directions and rushed to the tomb desperately.
Some people were a little confused and hesitant when they saw the tomb, but more people went in directly without any hesitation...
The old man sat quietly on a stone, looking at this terrible scene, and he was really shaking all over. At this time, he tried to persuade some people with good intentions, but all those people seemed to be crazy and did not listen to the advice. , On the contrary, he directly rejected Lao Shou's suggestion. Some people even picked up a stone on the ground and without saying a word, broke Lao Shou's head, causing blood to flow out, making him very embarrassed.
Lao Shou fell down in a daze, and those pilgrims, like crossing the Yalu River, stepped directly over Lao Shou's body. Some people even said that Lao Shou wanted to block his way of making money. Out of anger, he unceremoniously peed on the old man's head. He didn't stop until he woke up from the shower and choked.
"You can't go in." Lao Shou shouted loudly, but everyone laughed at him. Some people said at that time that he was a madman.
At this moment, in a gust of shrill north wind, a beautiful girl appeared. She had slender thighs, tall stature, gentle words, and gentle manners. She looked at the old thin man and couldn't care about so much. Without saying a word, she came forward and held her tightly. He hugged the woman wearing a cheongsam, trying to stop her from moving forward.
However, this move was obviously quite inappropriate and aroused people's criticism. At that time, some people said that this person was a gangster and shouted. There were quite a few onlookers. Some people directly punched and kicked the old man. He spit on his face and even bit off a piece of his flesh.
"Ah!" Lao Shou screamed and fainted from the pain.
…
After the old man woke up, he found that he was just staying in his room. He looked around and saw that there were no graves. Everything was normal. However, compared with the dream, he was no longer fat, but still a very thin person.
I couldn't sleep at this time, so I had to go out and take a look. I wanted to sit on a rock and rest for a while, smoke a cigarette, or look at the beauty of the starry sky.
In this winter, when the weather is fine, the starry sky is often very beautiful and extremely clear. Sitting alone on a rock and looking at it, any bad mood will of course be dissipated in an instant with a wisp of wind. .
But at this time, Lao Shou was still a little confused. Over the past few days, he had become even thinner than before. He could pinch his left hand with his right hand, and he could almost pinch it a lot. Although he was a little thin in the past, he was not like this.
The old man stayed outside the door for a while. At this time, he felt that something was wrong. It seemed that he should not stay alone in the wilderness in the strong wind. As for why this was the case, he still couldn't figure out.
The old man slammed the door. The weather was very cold, and the night was dark, especially now. He couldn't stay outside anymore.
Seeing Lao Shou closing the door, the vampire got out from behind a stone and came to Lao Shou's side. He wanted to kick the door open, but after thinking about it, he felt that he still couldn't act rashly and stayed quietly in some dark place. Best policy.
The old man was lying on the bed, his whole body was cold, and he almost wanted to get up and warm himself up by the fire. However, considering that the night was deep and it was inconvenient to do this, he might as well just stay in bed.
I don’t know why, but the weather had improved, and it wasn’t too cold, but that night, it was really weird. Even with two quilts covering me, I still felt cold, like chaff under the quilt. , shivering.
Unable to sleep, Lao Shou had to get out of the house because he seemed to hear a voice just now. Could it be that there was a thief who wanted to steal his treasure? Otherwise, why would there be such a strange voice in the middle of the night? ?
The old man was standing outside in the cold wind. At this time, his whole body was weak and he was about to go into shock several times. But fortunately, he finally managed to control himself and did not fall down. Otherwise, once he fell to the ground, the consequences would be disastrous. .
The moonlight is shining down, it's very beautiful. At this time, it would be nice to have a date with your woman, talk, tell a ghost story, or sing a song or something.
Thinking about this, Lao Shou was already intoxicated. It seemed that he was alone in the deserted wilderness. Suddenly, Lao Shou saw a tree. This tree was planted by Lao Shou himself. The prosperity of the past has now arrived. It was no longer there, the leaves were falling, and the withered tree trunks were gradually becoming a little ugly, cracked, and some were even dead, which was very ugly.
At this time, for some reason, a stone was getting smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, getting smaller every few minutes. Gradually, in less than an hour, a stone weighing a thousand kilograms could be held in one's hand and played with. It's almost the size of a human fist.
"What the hell is going on?" The old man couldn't figure it out. He looked at the stone. He could have slept on it and cooled off, but now it had become almost as big as a human eyeball. And it continues to get smaller.
The old man spat, kicked the stone, and prepared to get into his house. After many days of hard work, he had to take a good rest.
…
At dawn the next day, the old man was still sitting in front of his house, watching the people passing by, mostly shepherd boys, driving their cattle towards the mountains.
After watching it for a while, Lao Shou didn't want to look anymore, because he felt something bad and he felt weak all over. Even just sitting was laborious. It would be better to get into the room and lie on the bed to feel more comfortable.
…
The weather was very good that day. Uncle Hua looked at the sky and thought it was a day for plowing. If he didn't plant the land on the mountains, it would be difficult to eat bread next year.
Besides, Uncle Hua has always felt a little scared these days. As for what he is afraid of and where the danger comes from, he really can’t figure it out for a while. It would be better to go to the mountains to plow the fields, which is better. Don't think about these messy things.
After carrying the plow out of the house, Uncle Hua drove the cow up the mountain. However, when he passed the door of Lao Shou's house, the cow refused to go forward for some reason and turned around. It went in the opposite direction. Fortunately, Uncle Hua grabbed the reins of the cow, otherwise, the cow might have simply run away.
After regaining his composure, Uncle Hua let go of the cow's reins, and drove and shouted toward the mountain. But for some reason, when he passed by the door of the old skinny house, one of the cow's hind legs became thinner. It's not small, and can barely bear its huge body. When walking forward, you have to limp, otherwise, you will almost be unable to walk.
Moreover, the cow's face is also a bit abnormal, it can almost be said that the mouth and eyes are crooked. It looks very unsightly, as if it is deliberately making faces at Hua Bo, and even has a bit of ridicule.
However, Uncle Hua, who had drunk some wine, didn't pay attention to all this. He kept shouting and walked towards the mountain.
It wasn't until he entered the field and was plowing that Uncle Hua saw clearly that the cow's legs and feet were very inconvenient and almost lame. However, at this point, there was no choice but to continue plowing. Otherwise, it would be useless for what it would eat in the coming year. Woolen cloth?
Originally, such a large field could be plowed in half a day at most. However, due to problems with the cattle, the plowing continued until night, until the road was almost invisible, and the task was still not completed.
"It seems that this year's income will be very small," Hua Bo sighed longly, "I wonder if Xiao Hua will starve in the future because of this incident and because the cow is no longer useful. ?”
At this moment, the cow glanced at Uncle Hua, with such an ugly look that Uncle Hua almost became angry. No, without saying a word, he stepped forward and shot the cow from left to right, hitting the cow almost in the face. Come right up.
At the end of the year, everyone has been busy for a year and has a good income, but Uncle Hua has nothing to eat. Xiaohua has become the hope of the family. She is preparing to marry a person from a well-off family. Otherwise, she will follow Uncle Hua. It is possible to drink the northwest wind.
…
Let's say that the old man still went out of the house that night. He wanted to stay outside and look at the moonlight, or listen to the sound of the river going east. This was a very good choice.
But for some reason that night, I saw the moon in the sky. It was originally a full moon, but when I looked at it, I found that the moon had become very small, as small as a star. Finally, he disappeared directly in front of Lao Shou's eyes.
The night was so dark that no one dared to stay outside, so he had to get into the house. But at this time, for some reason, he felt extremely uncomfortable and kept coughing.
I shook one of my hands and found that it was even thinner than before.
"If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this life." Lao Shao looked at his thin hands and sighed for a long time.
Not to mention his own hands, the stone placed in the house and used to hold down the door was so thin that it could hardly hold down the door.
The old man gently picked up the stone that was used to press the door. Normally it weighed about three thousand kilograms and would never be picked up. But at this time, it was really strange. It was lifted effortlessly. He took it in the palm of his hand and threw it away.
"Looks like I have to find another stone tomorrow." Lao Shou thought.
