Chapter 10 The Grass Shed Righteousness

Wang Baoshan and the three of them hurried slowly, in the barren mountains and mountains, sparsely populated places, day and night, long journeys, during which it was very thrilling, and was almost discovered several times. Sometimes when there is no way out, when it is difficult and dangerous, I have to overcome all difficulties.

Due to the rainy weather in the past few days, the weather is not very hot, but the mountain road is difficult to walk and climb. The three of them finally got away from the boundary in the north of the city and came to a rolling mountainous area outside the west of the city.

Wang Baoshan looked at the high mountains and the lush trees, and couldn't help but hesitate for a while, feeling where is the road ahead?

Although it is difficult to walk, you must also walk through it, otherwise it will be difficult to make a living if you stop, and it is really difficult.

After walking for three days and three nights, under the premise of unbearable hunger and thirst, Wang Baoshan proposed to return to his residence when passing by the treasure mountain where he had lived since childhood, pause for a rest, and find something to eat to fill his stomach by the way.

At first, Sanpi and Du Xiaosan were a little reluctant, for fear that they would be discovered by the villagers of their village at the foot of the mountain and cause more trouble. But later, he couldn't stand Wang Baoshan's pestering and advice, so he had to agree to wait until it was dark to touch it.

When they touched Wang Baoshan's residence, they couldn't help but be disappointed.

It turned out that the heavy rain that day poured down, and the grass hut of Wang Baoshan on the mountainside collapsed, and the residence was a wolf track, and there was no one to live in, so there was nothing to eat.

When Wang Baoshan saw that his shack had collapsed, he was so anxious that he almost cried. Seeing that he couldn't fill his stomach, he asked Sanpi and Du Xiaosan to stay later, he wanted to enter the village, and he wanted to explain the origin to Uncle Liu, after all, more than a dozen pairs of straw shoes were gone, and he didn't return for more than a month, so it was inevitable that Uncle Liu wouldn't blame him, and he ran away after selling the money, so no matter what he said, he had to explain the situation.

Sanpi and the two, seeing that he was going to venture into the village to find someone, couldn't persuade him, so he had to go. And discussed, if the situation is not good, everyone will split up and run away.

Wang Baoshan said goodbye to the two of them, and with the faint crescent moon in the sky and a touch of light shining down, he entered the village and found Uncle Liu's home.

When Uncle Liu saw Wang Baoshan, he was also shocked when he saw that he was skinny and unkempt now. After learning what happened to him these days, he also sighed for a long time, and warned him to stay away from here quickly, so as not to be arrested.

Moreover, he did not stop him from wanting to go into the mountains to become a bandit, and after living for most of his life, he knew better than anyone else that this world was not easy to mix!

At the end, Uncle Liu also grabbed most of his remaining millet from the rice jar and gave it to Wang Baoshan, and asked him to take some green vegetable leaves, saying that he would take them back and satisfy his hunger first.

This made Wang Baoshan very moved, and he cried and kowtowed to Uncle Liu a few times, which made Uncle Liu also cry, shaking his head and sighing.

On the way back, Wang Baoshan held millet and green vegetable leaves in his arms, stroked the woodcutter pinned to the waistband of his trousers, and showed a long-lost smile on his face.

"Old man, I'm finally back," in fact, he had to come back this time, in addition to explaining the reason to Uncle Liu, most of the time it was for the sake of this guy who was eating. Since he was a child, he has made a living by chopping wood from it, so that he has a deep affection for this firewood knife, and although he has encountered a misfortune this time, he can't let go of it.

Sanpi and Du Xiaosan, when they saw Wang Baoshan coming back safely, they were relieved, and the worries in their hearts were also put down. I was very happy to see that he also brought back millet and green vegetable leaves. When the three of them started together, they turned out the iron pot in the collapsed shack. Then he found clean water, washed the iron pot, took a few adobe bricks, and stacked the pot. He turned out the flint, brought flammable firewood, and lit the firewood with the flint, and the three of them were very busy.

As soon as Wang Baoshan waited for the firewood to burn, he poured most of the pot of water into the pot, cleaned almost one-third of the millet and green vegetable leaves, put them into the pot together, and cooked a pot of millet and green vegetable porridge.

Smelling the burst of rice fragrance, the three of them couldn't help but move their index fingers, and the empty stomach that had been screaming for a long time could resist the temptation of food, and they couldn't wait to stuff it into their mouths quickly.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I can't eat hot rice porridge in a hurry. After the millet and green vegetable porridge cooled down slightly, the three of them were like hungry wolves, and they ate it cleanly after a while.

Du Xiaosan was the most ugly, and even licked the iron pot that was still a little hot, for fear of revealing a little bit of rice. Sanpi watched Du Xiaosan finish eating, and rushed to lick the pot, he had to lick the rice grains on his hands, and he was still unsatisfied.

If you don't know Mi Xiang for a long time, you can imagine how hungry the three of them are. For more than a month, the day is not safe, and the food is also some sorghum, or coarse grains such as wheat bran, and the black noodles are made of wowotou, where has the smell of rice porridge.

At this moment, after eating a pot of millet and green vegetable porridge, the three of them were addicted, it was really delicious in the world!

Du Xiaosan licked the iron pot clean, his eyes were full of tears, he hugged Wang Baoshan's arm, and said with some excitement: "Brother Wang! Thanks to you this time, if you hadn't taken the risk to borrow this millet greens and cook a pot of rice porridge to satisfy our hunger, I really don't know if I, Du Xiaosan, would survive tonight..."

"Yes, Brother Baoshan, when we were inside, thanks to your relief, otherwise we would have starved to death a few times. Today you made us such a pot of millet and green vegetable porridge, it really makes us unrequited, your business in the future is my business, if there are two words, I will not die well..."Although Sanpi did not cry like Du Xiaosan, his eyes were moist, and he held Wang Baoshan's hand emotionally.

Wang Baoshan was a little overwhelmed by the two of them, thinking that it was just a pot of millet and green vegetable porridge, and it was really useless to see what moved you. He himself understood the feeling of hunger, and he understood the two of them very well, so he said to them: "Don't be like this, everyone is a person who has suffered together, it is not easy, it is good to help each other..."

"Yes, the three of us have also suffered a lot of hardships, suffered hard labor, and fled for our lives together, thanks to supporting each other on the way, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to run so far..." What do you think?"

He pulled Wang Baoshan and Du Xiaosan as he spoke, and his feelings were sincere, and every word was full of affection.

"It's so good, it's the same end of the world, I, Du Xiaosan, can meet the two of you in a foreign place, I really don't know how lucky I am. Most people in this world can sell everything for money, harm others and benefit themselves, harm others and harm themselves, who will pay attention to what human feelings and righteousness will pay attention to for you. There are very few people who are truly affectionate and righteous, and it is also a great blessing in life to be able to make friends with the two of you today. How can there be anything bad!" Du Xiaosan was impassioned and excited.

Wang Baoshan listened to their words, but also felt a lot, since he was eighteen years old, alone, barely living, helpless, if there are people in the future, can support each other together, through the suffering, the best, how can there be unwilling.

"Hard-working people, can help each other, no hardship is not afraid, the future life, I don't know how difficult it is, I believe that as long as we face it together, everything will always be fine..."

Wang Baoshan and the three of them immediately turned over and fell to the ground, now there is no paper money, incense and candles, sacrifices and fruits around them, so they have to keep everything simple.

Looking at the night sky, the hazy crescent moon and the stars, they knelt down to heaven and earth, prostrated and prayed, and bowed to each other again. Then he began with Du Xiaosan, who had read the poetry book, swore an oath and sang in unison:

"The sky is above, the earth is below, the moon is the public, and the stars testify..."

"I'm Du Xiaosan..."

"I'm three-skinned..."

"I'm Wang Baoshan..."

"The three of us have gone through inhuman tribulations, and when we meet like this, we agree with each other, and intend to become brothers with different surnames. Share weal and woe, tide over difficulties together, eat together, work together, and work together...... If you disobey, you will not die well!"

After singing, the three of them kowtowed to heaven and earth three times. They helped each other to stand up, and each announced the time of birth, ranking them according to their young age. Wang Baoshan is two years older than both of them, so he is in the first place. Sanpi is three months younger than Du and is in second place. Du Xiaosan was the youngest, and he was ranked third and last.

"Big brother..."

"Second brother..."

"Second brother..."

"Third brother..."

They called each other again, and each of them was full of emotion and joy.

But now, it was not the time to be happy, and this was not a place to stay for a long time, so they packed up and took everything they could to take with them, and carried them on their backs.

Then, they looked for their direction and set off immediately.

At this time, the crescent moon in the sky also brightened a little, and it seemed that the night was not so dark and unclear.

Wang Baoshan and the three of them walked together, and they were not afraid of any accidents in the deep mountains and old forests, they talked and laughed along the way, relied on each other, and were not as decadent as before, and had a good hope for the unknown tomorrow.
