After a while, the boat boss smiled and replied, "Good luck, sir, the charter guest said that he could give you a ride." ”

Du Jiabin was overjoyed, and was about to thank him when he entered the boat, but the smile on his face froze.

The chartered guest turned out to be Dong Shaoqing, and when he saw Du Jiabin, he hugged his fists and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Du also went to Chen Ping to collect grain, right?" You and I happen to be on the same path. ”

Du Jiabin was very unhappy, but he didn't expect Dong Shaoqing to be half a step faster than him.

The passenger ship was cramped, with only one cabin, and Du Jiabin and Dong Shaoqing were squeezed into a cabin bed at night.

slept until midnight, the more Du Jiabin thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, so he thought about it, and when he saw that Dong Shaoqing was asleep, he quietly lifted his shoes, groped for the burden he carried, quietly let the boat boss dock, and then went straight to Chen Ping by copying the path overnight.

After walking for half the night, Du Jiabin was tired and hungry, untied his burden and wanted to take some dry food to satisfy his hunger, but found that in addition to a few clothes in the baggage, the money ticket and dry food issued by Qian Zhuang were gone.

Du Jiabin couldn't help but secretly complain, because he was in a hurry, he actually took Dong Shaoqing's burden by mistake. Du Jiabin was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and without money tickets, what did he use to buy grain and rice? Just when he was in a dilemma, he heard someone chasing him from afar.

Du Jiabin turned around and saw Dong Shaoqing panting and catching up with his burden: "Shopkeeper Du is so anxious, he even took the burden by mistake." ”

Du Jiabin couldn't help but blush, so he had to invite Dong Shaoqing to hurry with him.

Soon after the two of them set out on the road, they walked into a jungle, and soon there was a terrible howl in the forest, and a pair of green ghost fires floated in the darkness.

"Not good. There are wolves! The two of them ran away.

The hungry wolf behind him was in hot pursuit, and seeing that the two were about to die in the wolf's belly, there happened to be an old tree with a crooked neck on the side of the road. The two of them hurriedly climbed up, hugging the branches and panting for breath.

The hungry wolf circled around the tree, claws grabbed the roots of the tree and howled, the two people were so frightened that they could only hold the trunk and shout for help, but in this wilderness, people were inaccessible. The two shouted in their throats, but no one heard them.

The two of them complained bitterly in their hearts, in this deep mountain and old forest, they didn't even see a single hair. If the hungry wolves don't leave, they must be trapped to death.

Dong Shaoqing pondered for a while and said, "Did Shopkeeper Du see the river in the distance?" As soon as one of us jumps off the tree to lure the wolf away, the other jumps into the river. Swim for your life. And then call someone to save the other one, what? ”

Du Jiabin thought that the idea was a good idea, but when he looked at the scarlet tongue of the hungry wolf, he couldn't help but plead: "Shopkeeper Dong, I am weak and weak, and I am powerless to lead the wolf down the tree, you see......"

Dong Shaoqing thought for a while and said, "I'd better go." ”

Du Jiabin was grateful, and he grabbed Dong Shaoqing. took out a small copper wine jug from the pocket of his underwear and said, "Shopkeeper Dong, keep these wines to quench your thirst." ”

Dong Shaoqing picked up the wine jug and lifted his breath. While the wolf was napping under the tree, he jumped off the tree and galloped away.

The hungry wolf was awakened, and chased after the bite, Du Jiabin took the opportunity to slip off the tree, ran to the river, and jumped into the water.

Du Jiabin struggled to swim to the other side of the river, looked back, and found that Dong Shaoqing had climbed another big tree, and shouted at him: "Shopkeeper Du, don't forget to bring someone to save me." ”

Du Jiabin agreed, but secretly sneered in his heart: Waiting for me to save you? You've already turned into bones.

It turned out that Du Jiabin's pot of wine was a medicinal wine that had been soaked in the five poisons, and drinking half a cup after a meal could strengthen the body and invigorate the blood, but drinking more on an empty stomach was tantamount to poison. The two of them have been hungry for a day, as long as Dong Shaoqing drinks half a pot, he will be killed immediately, and then the evil wolf under the tree will naturally clean up the corpse and make it unknowing. This is what happened against my Long Xiangmi!

Du Jiabin returned to Yingzhou, pretending that nothing had happened, and still took his men around to collect grain and rice, but he was tight-lipped about Dong Shaoqing's trapping.

On this day, Du Jiabin was settling accounts, and a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Shopkeeper Du, don't come unharmed." ”

Du Jiabin looked up and almost collapsed to the ground in fright, it was Dong Shaoqing who came.

"You...... Are you a human or a ghost? Du Jiabin trembled with fright.

Dong Shaoqing smiled and said, "Of course I'm human." ”

He told Du Jiabin that after Du Jiabin escaped, a hunter who went into the mountains to hunt passed under the tree and saved his life, and he couldn't help but be grateful, and gave the hunter money, but the hunter didn't accept it, so he gave the copper kettle wine that Du Jiabin gave him to the hunter.

Du Jiabin was stunned and speechless in shame.

On this day, several officials came to Longxiang Mi, and with a bundle of chains, they were going to take Du Jiabin away.

Du Jiabin shouted in fright: "What crime did I commit?" ”

The chief official took out a small flask and said, "This pot is yours, right?" ”

Du Jiabin saw that the wine jug was given to Dong Shaoqing by himself, and couldn't help but nod and say yes.

The official said, "That's right, come with us." ”

When he arrived in the lobby, Du Jiabin learned that after Dong Shaoqing gave the wine jug to Orion, Orion met a famous local ruffian when he went down the mountain. A hair saw that the wine pot was exquisite, so he asked Orion for it, and Orion didn't dare not give it, but after a hair drank the wine in the pot, he was poisoned and died. When the local government saw that there was a human life, they found Du Jiabin's head according to the four words "Longxiang Du Family" engraved on the bottom of the wine jug.

Du Jiabin complained bitterly, shouted wronged, said that the wine in his jug was not poisonous at all, in fact, it was a five-poison wine brewed with scorpions, poisonous snakes and centipedes, and drinking less after meals can also strengthen the body to treat rheumatism.

Who knew that the county master said: "The wine is yours, the pot is yours, you know that the five poisonous wine can't be drunk on an empty stomach, why don't you tell others?" If Dong Shaoqing and Orion drank this wine, wouldn't they have killed two more people? ”

Du Jiabin was speechless.

On this day, the county magistrate brought him to the court and said: "You accidentally injured someone's life, and the crime should be punished, but because someone defended you and said that you were an unintentional mistake, the official sentenced you to compensate the deceased's family members with 500 yuan for the funeral expenses, go home and reflect on yourself." ”

Du Jiabin couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly asked who defended himself.

The county magistrate said: "Who else can there be, of course it is Dong Shaoqing." ”

Du Jiabin was stunned, and after he was released from prison, he came to Dong's house with a generous gift, and just wanted to thank him.

Dong Shaoqing said coldly: "Shopkeeper Du doesn't have to be polite, the death of a single hair was not what you meant, it was me who you wanted to poison in the first place, right?" ”

Du Jiabin's face was flushed, and he couldn't help but say, "Shopkeeper Dong, I'm sorry for you." ”

Dong Shaoqing shook his head and said, "I didn't want to help you, but I want to be worthy of the ancestral training of the Dong family." ”

He told Du Jiabin that his ancestor was originally a businessman in the northern part of Jin, but later because of the competition for fame and fortune with his peers, he injured and killed people, and finally his family was ruined and died. Therefore, from the generation of Dong Shaoqing's former old lady, whenever a young child goes out, he must be familiar with the four-character ancestral teaching, that is, "treat people with sincerity", and broad-mindedness is the way to business.
