Murong Xing was naturally very happy to see that his full stomach finally had a place to confide.

But before he started talking, he didn't forget to sell a pass first.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said mysteriously: "The story I want to tell is not only bizarre, but also a little infiltrating, I don't know if Sister Meat Bun, will you be afraid?" ”

Seeing that he looked down on himself, Rou Baozi knocked him on the head hard and said, "Look down on me, don't you?" Tell me about it, when I was a child, my mother told me every day to talk about fasting in order to coax me to sleep quickly, and she never saw me afraid. ”

"Okay, okay, then I can tell it, this story is about a Yellow River corpse salvage man in the previous dynasty, you also know that the Yellow River is turbulent, the terrain is dangerous, often passers-by are washed away by the water, and some are people who can't think of throwing themselves into the river for a while, as long as people fall into the Yellow River, basically there is no help, and the family members want to bring back the corpse, so they can only ask those who specialize in salvaging the corpse by the Yellow River to fish."

Ouyang Deyuan urged: "Okay, you get to the point." ”

As the carriage advanced, Murong Xing said slowly.

There is a small place called Honghua Village on the bank of the Yellow River, which is located in a dangerous place on the Yellow River, and there are often passing boat accidents. Over time, most of the people in the village took the corpse as a business.

Among this group of corpse diggers, Old Man Wang can be called the best.

Others have to look at the face of the sky when they fish for corpses, and when the weather comes, the ship is prone to accidents, so naturally there will be business; Second, the process of retrieving the corpse also depends on personal luck.

Only Old Man Wang, the matter of scooping up the corpse seems to be easy for him, effortless, and extremely enviable.

On this day, a young student came to Honghua Village and asked to worship the old man as a teacher. But the old man Wang was unmoved, and he was not in a hurry in the future, so he **** came to the door.

After about three months, Old Man Wang called Housheng to him, and said with a solemn face: "It's not that I'm ruthless, it's just that it's too hard to do what we do, why can't you be a young man, why do you have to eat this bowl of rice?" ”

Hou Sheng couldn't stop kowtowing, choked up and said: "I won't tell you anything, my parents died early in my late life, and now I am alone and helpless, so it is appropriate to do this business." ”

Old man Wang still shook his head, but Housheng simply knelt outside the door and couldn't afford it all day long.

After a few days, except for drinking some water, he didn't eat, and the whole person lost a lot of weight, and his face was miserable.

Until the fifth day, Old Man Wang looked at Housheng and said, "Hey, wronged, since you are so resolute, I will make an exception and accept you as a disciple." ”

When the later students heard this, they were overjoyed and kowtowed again and again to thank them.

Old man Wang has no children and takes good care of the next generation, and the two are quite like father and son.

One day a year later, Old Man Wang said to the younger students: "The time that our master and apprentice have been getting along well has been harmonious.

I have a proposal, since you have no parents, you might as well take my surname, and I will give you another name. In this way, you can also be regarded as my adopted son, and after a hundred years in the future, you will naturally inherit it. ”

Housheng was full of promises. Old man Wang was deeply pleased to see this, so he named him Wang Sheng.

In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since Wang Sheng started.

But in the past two years, except for cleaning the house and chopping wood and carrying water on weekdays, there has been no major event.

Old man Wang took over the business and would take Wang Sheng to retrieve the corpse.

There is nothing peculiar about the process of retrieving corpses, and it is no different from other corpse diggers.

Every time Wang Sheng said that he wanted to learn some skills, Old Man Wang always smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, don't be in a hurry." ”

More than half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and it has been nearly three years since Wang Sheng arrived in Honghua Village.

Although he has never learned any special skills, Wang Sheng has already perfected some basic kung fu in retrieving corpses.

Moreover, there is no worry about food and clothing in Honghua Village, which can be regarded as a pure land in troubled times.

On this day, Wang Sheng suddenly heard the sound of "clicking" horses' hooves from far and near, and finally stopped in front of his house. I saw a carriage parked at the door, which was very gorgeous.

The curtain was lifted, and a woman dressed as a noblewoman stepped out of the car.

Judging from the clothing, it must be a woman from a large family. As soon as the woman got out of the car, she saw Wang Sheng walking over.

She was stunned, and suddenly pounced, crying and shouting: "My son, you used to be here, but let me find trouble for my mother!" ”

The woman hugged Wang Sheng, cried incessantly, and refused to let go.

It turned out that the woman was the concubine of Prince Xiang, and the main room died a few years ago, and the woman was corrected.

But over the years, Prince Xiang has no children under his knees, and the two want to find their son who was lost in the early years, but to no avail, Wang Sheng originally had such a prominent family background, and the old man Wang was stunned when he heard it.

The woman said, "Son, you used to be alone, helpless, and it was not a good way to survive by scooping up corpses. But now, since he knows that he is the heir of the palace, he naturally can't do this business anymore. ”

Wang Sheng thinks about it, he will be the prince in the future, and he will continue to fish for corpses, what kind of system will he become? But Old Man Wang has been really good to him over the years, and he will inevitably feel guilty when he leaves like this.

Old man Wang pondered for a while and said, "To be honest, over the years, I have felt powerless and gradually retreated. You see that many people in the village are looking for other ways to make a living, so I think you can go back with your mother. ”

Hearing what Old Man Wang said, Wang Sheng was also relieved.

The woman said, "Old man, don't worry. If it weren't for your acceptance, if you were like a parent, I don't know if my son would have survived until now. Your kindness will be remembered by the whole palace. The palace will give you a payment, and from today onwards, every month the palace will send someone to send the fee. ”

When Old Man Wang heard this, he smiled and said, "Very good, very good." In this way, everyone is happy. ”

The next day, the woman went back with a group of people first, while Wang Sheng packed his bags and waited for the people from the palace to pick him up.

A few days later, a letter came from the palace, saying that the prince was very happy to know about this, and the team sent to pick up Wang Sheng back to the house had already been on the road, and it was estimated that he would arrive at Honghua Village in two days.

After receiving the letter, Old Man Wang went to the city and asked Wang Sheng to stay at home. It wasn't until the next evening that Old Man Wang returned to Honghua Village with a tired face.

As soon as he returned to the village, Old Man Wang immediately gathered a table of sumptuous meals, saying that it was to see off Wang Sheng. After three rounds of drinking, Old Man Wang said slightly drunk: "Wang Sheng, I really regarded you as a son before." ”

Wang Sheng said: "Master rest assured, even if you return to the palace, you are still my master." A teacher for one day, a father for life. In the future, the apprentice will be the master to provide for the elderly. After the palace, someone will send someone to send a sum of silver, and there will be a fixed amount of silver every month in the future, so that the master can have no worries about food and clothing, and do not have to worry about future life. ”

Old man Wang continued: "Hey, if there is no such thing, I really want to pass on all my skills to you, and I will have someone to rely on when I am old in the future." ”

Wang Sheng stood up and wanted to say something, but he fell to the ground weakly. Old man Wang said: "Count it out, the drug in my wine should also attack." People are dying, so you might as well be a ghost. The two pots of wine we drank, my pot is fine, but your pot is drugged. ”

Wang Sheng asked, "Master, are you ...... Why are you doing that? ”

Old man Wang said, "Why? You've been with me for so long, and you still don't understand? That's my magic. Hey, it's just that you're too kind. The so-called miracle skills, to put it bluntly, are four words, 'ruthless'. ”
