The big black ox walked along the path, and there was no purpose, and finally, after walking for a few days and nights, a man and a cow came to the seaside, and at sunset, at dusk, the young man rode on the back of the ox, holding a small gourd, and tasted the wine without a sip, and seemed to be at ease and at ease.

"Brother over there, don't go any further, there is no place to live in the mountains, and there are monsters and big insects, the little brother rides a bull, worried that the cow will be swallowed by the big worm~"

A crisp voice came, and Roy saw a girl standing not far from the shore collecting dried fish, looking at him with big eyes, his skin was a little dark, and he looked clean and healthy in linen clothes.

"Is there a place to live around here?" Roy asked with a smile.

The girl shook her head, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have a firewood house that can live in people, I will let you stay for one night, you will let your black cow pull a cart of bark for me tomorrow, I won't let you help in vain, I will give you forage money and car money after selling the bark?" ”

Roy felt interesting, he was a little tired of the life of a cultivator, and now he lived like an ordinary person, it seemed that it was not bad!

"Alright then, I'll go to your house for the night." Roy said with a smile.

When the girl saw that Roy agreed, she smiled and said: "I am a pearl diver here, my father is a firewood, but the day before yesterday I was bitten by a big insect and injured my foot, I can't push the car, I can't push it myself, there is still tree bark at home that can be exchanged for money, you help me is to save my father's life!" ”

The pearl diver put all the dried fish in the fish basket behind her back, full of a large number of dried fish, the weight is estimated to be seventy or eighty pounds, she looks a little difficult to carry it, but the steps are very steady, it seems that she has been doing this kind of work for a long time.

Roy smiled, "Where is your home?" ”

The pearl diver raised her head, pointed to the mountain not far away, and replied: "My home is at the foot of Yao Mountain, just over there." ”

Following the pearl diver's finger, Roy saw a thatched hut about seven or eight hundred meters away.

"Come up too, let's ride the bull together." Roy smiled and stretched out his hand, and the pearl diver handed the fish basket first, and was not polite, she also climbed on the back of the big black cow, and held the fish basket to exaggerate the strength of the black cow.

If Roy hadn't allowed the big black bull to speak, for fear that he would scare people, otherwise, this thing would have been shouting about how strong he was, and now, he walked obviously differently, and his tail kept flicking, and he looked very happy.

When they arrived at the thatched hut, they could see the pearl diver's father, who had a wound on his leg, pale and cooking, and Roy saw blood oozing out of his leg because of something violent.

The pearl diver quickly put the dried fish aside, helped her father to the chair, and then whispered to him about the 'deal' with Roy, and the pearl diver's father thanked him: "Thank you for your help, come and have dinner." ”

The pearl diver smiled, led the big black cow to the grass on the side, and when he was about to put a rope around his neck, Roy smiled and said, "Don't worry about him, my cow knows people and won't run blind." ”

Dinner was a bowl of white rice porridge with dried fish boiled in it, Roy ate two large bowls, the pearl diver ate three bowls alone, and her father, who ate a whole five bowls, said that his appetite had become bad because of his injury!

Roy was a little speechless, according to the amount of food of ordinary people on the earth, one bowl of rice is enough to eat, and he ate five bowls in a row and said that he had a bad appetite?

After eating, Roy walked into the firewood room, which was indeed just a firewood room, half of the room was filled with firewood, and the rest was made of a lot of dried straw.

Roy didn't have anything to offer, he could sleep by lying down in the straw.

However, before going to bed, the father of the pearl diver came, and he asked with a smile, "Where did this little brother come from?" Where are you going? ”

Roy heard what he meant, and the pearl diver eavesdropped outside the door, thinking that the father and daughter were preparing to recruit themselves as husbands? However, it won't let them get their wish!

Roy smiled: "I'm from Nanshan City, and this time I went out to travel thousands of miles to increase my knowledge. ”

"Nanshan City, it is said that it is thousands of miles away, it is a rare big city, and the little brother is from there! It's really admirable, there are a lot of goblins and ghosts along the way, right? The old man has never left home for more than fifty miles in his life, and the last time he was far away, he was bitten by a big insect in the mountains. ”

The pearl diver's father couldn't help but sigh, his idea was about to come to naught, the pearl diver also pouted and left, if Roy was a homeless person, then with the big black bull as a dowry, his father would definitely marry him off, however, he was from a big city, maybe there were still some family backgrounds, then there was no possibility between them, and the status was an insurmountable gap.

Early the next morning, the extremely reluctant big black ox was put on a wheelbarrow, on which a cart of bark was pulled, and a large bamboo basket of dried fish walked towards the nearest town of Yaoshan, the wheels creaked and swayed on the 'road' no more than six meters in diameter, and Roy and the pearl diver sat on one side of the wheelbarrow.

The pearl diver sang a ballad that Roy didn't understand, although she didn't understand it very well, but the melody was very good, and Roy enjoyed it a little more.

Soon into the city, the pearl diver drove to the back of a grocery store, and a steward came out, looked at the goods, and said, "Well, it's not bad, I'll give you a silver coin and 50 copper coins." A silver coin of tree bark, and fifty copper coins of salted fish, give it to you, and bring me all the things in. ”

A few little guys ran out of it, and the things in the car were quickly emptied, and the pearl diver seemed very happy, because she felt that she had made a lot of money, and it was all a business without capital, and she made so much money in one trip!

The two of them drove to the pharmacy again, and spent forty copper plates to buy medicine, Roy came out and exchanged a bag of silver coins and copper coins with a little bit of gold, and then spent four copper coins, that is, about twenty yuan, to buy two huge bowls of mutton soup at a roadside stall, and had a great meal with the pearl diver.

When they came to their house, it was dark, and the pearl diver boiled medicine for her father, and listened to the doctor's words to wash his father's wound and sew it up, and wiped it with herbs, and sure enough, the next day my father was able to walk slowly, or it was estimated that he would be able to work again in a few days.

Roy really didn't know what to say, and he didn't help all this time.

The pearl diver killed the pig-like technique, I haven't tried it once, and I started directly!

However, the pearl diver's father still survived tenaciously, and he is still alive and well.
