I hesitated for a moment, and then thought of what Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law said last night, so I decided not to say anything for the time being.

"It's okay! Freely...... Just ask! ”

At this time, Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law walked out with a large plate of pickles, and there was no strange expression on her face.

I'm confused plus 100,000 whys.

Yuan Datou and his wife seem to be weird, should I believe the words of Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law!

Breakfast is steamed bread and pickles, although it is simple, it is delicious.

"That's right! Brother Minyuan, how was it last night? ”

Hao Minyuan smiled bitterly: "After waiting all night, there is not even a shadow, and I have to continue to block it tonight!" ”

After eating, Hao Minyuan and Yuan Datou both said that they were sleepy and wanted to make up for sleep - can they not be sleepy! Both of them didn't close their eyes all night.

I thought I would have the opportunity to ask Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law what happened last night, after all, Yuan Datou and Hao Minyuan are good buddies, and when it comes to this relationship, I can't see him being green and doing nothing.

I didn't come up with a solution all at once, I sat alone in the living room and watched TV, and I felt bloated and wanted to go to the toilet.

The toilets in the countryside are all outdoors, and I took a handful of paper and hurried to the toilet.

There was a burst of bombardment, I only felt a burst of refreshment in my stomach, and I just wanted to stretch out my hand, only to hear a "pop", and the door of the toilet was pushed open.

"Big brother, you ...... What are you doing? ”

Yuan Datou actually came in through the crack in the door, and as soon as he came in, he first made a silent gesture at me.

"Brother, I'm really sorry, there are a few words, I can't say it just now."

"But this ......"

I was about to finish the last step with a handpiece of paper in one hand, but there was an old man standing in front of me with a smile on his face, which was really embarrassing.

Yuan Datou clasped his hands together and waved at me again and again: "Brother, I'm really embarrassed, just a few words, I'll leave after I finish speaking!" ”

I'm so anxious that I just want to swear.

Grandma's! If you have a fart, let it go, get out of it when you're done!

But he still had to pretend to be very polite: "Big brother, you ...... You ask! ”

Yuan Datou smiled: "Brother, did you hear anything in your sister-in-law's house last night?" ”

I was so startled that the paper almost fell to the ground: "Big brother, do you know what happened last night?" ”

Yuan Datou frowned and nodded: "How can I not know!" After all, it's his wife's business! ”

This made me even more confused, and I forgot the embarrassment: "Brother Minyuan, what ...... Who the hell is my sister-in-law arguing with these two nights - if not you! ”

"Where there are others, she is arguing from beginning to end - when your sister-in-law was in a car accident, she injured the central nervous system of the brain, so she has the problem of sleepwalking, and she will always commit it several times a month, you must not be surprised! This is ...... Neither can it be spoken. ”

I let out a long sigh, it turns out that there is still such a thing, no wonder! It turned out that she was singing a one-man show by herself for the past two nights.

Finally solved a mystery, and when I walked out of the toilet, I only felt a burst of relief and couldn't help but whistle a few times.

I had nothing to do in the morning, so I asked Xiao He to go out for a walk, thinking about seeing what the lake with golden toads in Yuan Datou's mouth looked like, and by the way, I also asked if it was true or not. Fun read

If there really is a golden toad in this lake, someone in the village should know about it.

According to Yuan Datou's two descriptions, I found a lake between the village and the Yellow River, about the size of two football fields, surrounded by green weeds.

On the way back, I happened to meet an old man herding cattle, so I asked about the lake.

The old man was wearing a faded undershirt, and because he was missing a few teeth, he was breathless when he spoke.

"You're talking about the Golden Lake in our village! This is the treasure lake of our village! ”

Xiao He came to the energy and hurriedly asked, "Baohu?" It's nothing special to look at! ”

The old man patted the cow's buttocks and said, "Huh": "Don't talk nonsense, you girl, the Golden Lake is amazing!" It is said that during the period of Dayu's water control, this lake existed, and I heard the old people in the village say that the bottom of this lake is connected to the deepest part of the Yellow River, so this lake, not only has it never been dry, but even the lake has not been less. ”

I found it a little hard to believe: "Even in the past two years of drought, the water in the lake has not decreased? ”

The old man had another contemptuous expression on his face and glared at me: "Not to mention the past two years, even when there was a great drought in the past six years and three years, the water in the Golden Lake has not been reduced. ”

"Is there a golden toad in the water?"

The old man was taken aback by these words, and his gaze froze on my face for more than ten seconds: "Yo! You even know that there are golden toads in the lake, and it seems that you know a lot about our village! ”

"Uncle, is there any, you said!"

"Yes! There are quite a few in the village that have seen them, but ...... But I haven't seen it. ”

"Then you've heard people say, what does the golden toad look like?"

The old man thought for a moment: "It looks like an ordinary frog, it's just ...... It's a little bigger, golden all over, if you hit it with a melon, it will really become a 100% pure gold toad, and it's worth a lot! ”

When Xiao He heard it, he was happy: "Uncle, you are talking about myths and legends!" How can there be such a thing in the world......"

The old man wiped the spit on his mouth with the back of his dirty hand: "Don't believe it, you girl, Zhao Benhe, who moved away from our village, was because he hit the golden toad with a melon, and the golden toad became a golden toad, and he bought a lot of money!" With the money, the family moved away. ”

I also think this is very interesting, whether it is true or not: "Uncle, you can tell us about it!" ”

The old man was herding cattle alone, he should be very bored and panicked, and wiped his saliva again: "Then tell me about it?" ”

Xiao He and I smiled and nodded.

Zhao Benhe moved away twenty years ago, and according to this calculation, he should have been the golden toad that he hit with a melon about twenty-one years ago.

The rumor in the village goes like this:

That summer, when Zhao Benshan came back from selling melons, it was already dark, and he drank a stomach of stuffy wine at the night stall in the market - the price of melons and cabbages that year, he had worked hard to grow melons for a year, but he couldn't make any money.

At that time, it was the night of the full moon, the moon stars were scarce, and the black magpie flew south, he walked along the country road alone, towards the village, and when he passed the Golden Lake, he saw the golden light shining by the lake, and he also walked over with the strength of wine.

He saw a golden toad lying on the edge of the water, and he didn't know where it came from, so he took out a melon from the basket and smashed it at the golden toad.

Impartiality and right on target.

The golden toad turned into a pure gold toad.

Zhao Benhe threw out all the remaining melons in the frame, and in the end, he was so excited that he didn't even want the frame.

As for how much the golden toad sold for, this is not enough for outsiders to know.

Later, after another drunkenness, Zhao Benhe couldn't help but tell a good friend about it, and the so-called secret was passed on like this, and it became an undisclosed secret.
