Along the way, the only means of transportation that the fat man and his party owned was a horse-drawn carriage. Or a mute who plays with Xiaoxi, an old man named Lao Ma gave them to the fat man for free. If you really hurry, the horse needs to maintain a galloping state all the time, which will really tire the horse, but the fat man is walking all the way to rest, and never urging the horse to hurry, the horse has walked for so many days, and has not suffered much, but has followed the fat man to eat and drink spicy, so it is more energetic.

The shopkeeper waited, filled the water and drank wine, pulled out the fat man's carriage from the backyard of the inn, and sent the fat man and his party away. The shopkeeper received a lot of money from the fat man, and he was naturally happy in his heart, and the day before yesterday, he saw Gao Yu leading a group of people to invite Miss Hu, and he couldn't guess how rich and noble the fat man was, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he also came to the door, nodded and politely sent the fat man away.

The fat man only took a kettle, and drank it thirstily on the way. The rest, loaded into the wagon, was all wine...... You know, let's not talk about it.

Without further ado, the fat man and his party left Qianzhou City and went to Dazhou. Dazhou is ...... This place is not much to introduce, Dazhou is Dazhou, in the east of present-day Sichuan, and now it is a prefecture-level city in Sichuan Province, called Dazhou City.

Walk, walk, walk...... It was getting dark. When it was getting dark, it was time to find a place to stay, and the fat man drove his horse to a place where the grass was sparse. If you don't know the road in the wild, you go to the place with the least grass, there is no road in the world, and when people walk more, there is a road, and where there is less grass, it is the place where people often walk.

Keep walking, until you get to ...... You can see that the grass has been trampled on obviously, and the sand is exposed on the ground, and this is the beginning of the road. Following this zigzag, the path as wide as the soles of two feet went forward, and the road gradually widened, and when I looked up, I could already see the smoke curling from the roof.

After walking a little further, you will see a small pavilion, the villagers have finished their work, gathered here to chat is equivalent to the commissary in the east of the village today, the villagers have nothing to do here to rest, play cards and watch TV to chat or something, but there are no playing cards and TV at that time, so there is only nonsense to talk about this project.

This is a small pavilion that is indispensable in every village to bring the neighbors closer. The fat man drove the carriage to the pavilion, and his heart settled down There are many people here, you can ask if you don't understand anything, and among so many people, there must be a warm-hearted person, please go to have a meal and stay overnight, right?

There is really no warm-hearted, it doesn't matter, the fat man has money now, and everything is easy to discuss if you give money, I will rest in your thatched house for a night, and give you two taels of silver, and you will live without hoeing the fields and planting vegetables in this half a year, and a fool will refuse this kind of beautiful thing!

The fat man rolled over and got out of the car, reined in the reins, and walked to the gazebo.

A few strangers came in from outside the village, and the villagers in the pavilion had already noticed it, and they kept staring at the fat man.

When the fat man got closer, before he could open his mouth to speak, the villagers waved their hands and shouted to the fat man, "Hey, that one...... Don't go any further! I can't get over here! ”

The fat man touched the back of his head, where can't he get by? I don't plan to go any further, it's getting dark, where are I going?

Looking forward along the avenue, it's nothing! The fat man pointed ahead and asked, "What?" Where can't you get by? Is there no road ahead? ”

"There is a way, but there is no way to pass!" The villagers all waved their hands, which meant that the fat man should come over quickly, and stop going down the road.

Zi is helpless, okay, it seems that something strange must have happened in this village, no, it should be said that something strange has happened again! Why is it that wherever I go, there are strange things that can't let me live a stable life? No wonder this sword said that only I can take it to Kaifeng, and if I am someone else, I will not be scared to death, but also annoyed to death!

led the carriage to the pavilion, Xiao Xi and Xiao Hu jumped out of the car with the curtain, and everyone said "ouch" and said, "I still have girls and children!" Come here, don't go. ”

Xiao Xi and Miss Xiao Hu just got out of the car to play, so they didn't care about anything else! When dealing with the villagers, you have to be fat.

The fat man entered the pavilion and bent down respectfully, no matter how high or low the status of these villagers was, when they arrived in this village, it was someone else's territory, and we were guests, so we had to talk about basic etiquette. After saluting the villagers first, the fat man raised his head and spoke, "The traveler, walking here, it is getting late, and I want to borrow the precious land to rest my cheap feet." ”

The fat man still talks about customs and rules, no matter how poor and poor people he treats, he is polite and thoughtful, and he speaks politely. Changed to Xiaohu girl, that is: "Hey, the old lady is tired of walking, I want to sleep here with you, hurry up and make a clean room for the old lady, otherwise the old lady will lift all your roof tiles Believe it or not?" ”

The villagers saw that the fat man was polite, and they didn't say much, so they led the fat man to the village, and told the fat man to rest assured, and the family of three had food, drink, and a place to sleep.

Don't look at the poor villagers, there are many warm-hearted, there is only one chicken left in the house, so I hope that the chicken can lay two more eggs, and when the guests come, they will kill the chickens without hesitation, and bring the best things in the house to the guests; Don't look at the powerful person, even if you faint in front of his house with hunger, he will kick you away, and he may not be willing to give you an extra grain of rice. The human heart is really not something that can be measured by money.

Walking into the village, there was a wooden box in front of each house, and Miss Hu was elated, and leaned into the fat man's ear and said: "Brother, the people in this village are so enthusiastic, and they have prepared so many and such big gifts for us!" Here's ...... How much cosmetics do you have to pack?! ”

The fat man shook his head, covered his face, tears were about to fall, and pushed Xiao Xi, "Xiao Xi, you tell your mother, what is this called." ”

Xiao Xi said: "Mother...... This is not a gift box, these are...... Coffin. Used to pretend to be dead. ”

Little Hu immediately covered her mouth.

A group of villagers led the fat man away, and said again, ensuring that the fat man's family of three had food and drink. If you have nothing to say, the fat man always has to talk a few words and talk to people, so he can't seem too wooden. The fat man asked, "Brothers, what is this place?" ”

A villager replied: "This place is called 'Wanshou Village', which means that everyone can live a long life, and it is best to live 10,000 years." ”

The fat man looked at the coffins on both sides of the road, "That...... So what is this? ”

The villager sighed, "Hey, that's not ...... If your good wishes didn't come true, they all died early. ”

The fat man nodded, and said in his heart, Well, Wanshou Village, this name is really a bit ridiculous, I have never seen so many coffins anywhere!

Miss Xiaohu followed the fat man, and when she heard it, she said, "Oh? This is discussed, everyone chooses to die on the same day? "Otherwise, how can there be coffins in front of every house?

The fat man hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry everyone, the little girl is straight."

Speak quickly, disrespectful to the dead! ”

Everyone said, "Ah...... It doesn't matter, we think so too! ”

How? There are so many people who have died! I'm numb when I see people die! There was a dead man in the village, it must have caused a sensation in the whole village, and everyone came to mourn, saying that this person was so young that he had nothing or something, and it was a pity or something. As a result, a number of people died one day, and there were still people dead tomorrow, and almost every house had a coffin in front of the door, so there was no charter for anyone to go to whom's house to mourn, and everyone came out to put the coffin away, and said hello to each other, "Ah, oh, hello, your family is also dead?" What a coincidence, my family also died, oh, rejoice, rejoice! ”

All right...... The above is a joke.

The villagers are very enthusiastic, and there are dead people in the family, just doing white things, and it is easy to come to the fat man and his party, so they will be mourned as a red thing, and everyone will gather together, fry and fry, and have a meal. The fat man at the dinner table had nothing else to talk about, so he naturally asked why Fang Cai didn't let him continue to move forward, why so many people died in the village?

An uncle who is more prestigious in the village acts as a spokesperson, and he explained the situation to the fat man, and something strange has happened in the village these days, that is, the fat man has just come to the avenue, and if he goes further, there is a river, if you want to go over, you can also have a bridge, but cross this bridge...... Look at these coffins, they all died because they crossed this bridge and fell off the bridge.

There are also young men here, there are good swimmers, but they are evil, and they can swim and they don't care, and they fall into the river, and the people are gone.

Some of these coffins are just coffins, which are empty and have no bodies. Why? If it was found in time and could be fished out, the corpse was fished up; No one saw it when it fell, and the body drifted down the river and didn't know where it went. This should be regarded as missing, should not be treated as a dead person, but this kind of thing one or two, it is an accident, three or five, and then ten or eight, everyone will understand, hit the bridge and fall into the river, and if you can't find anyone, that is, you are dead, whether you find the body or not, you have made a coffin, after all, it is your own relatives, how can you pay tribute to it!

The fat man understands this, and almost every house in the village has coffins in front of their doors, and it is because of this that they have coffins. It seems that there is something wrong with the bridge.

"Xiaoxi, do you want to cross the bridge?" The fat man asked with a wicked smile.

"Yes." Xiao Xi said.

Picked up the wine jug and drank a few big sips, Xiao Xi was considered to be full, and looked sideways at Miss Xiaohu, "Mother...... Let's go, let's have fun? ”

Miss Hu's temperament ...... Right, even if someone really locks her up, she has a heart that yearns for freedom, is playful, and loves to make trouble, not to mention, Xiao Xi proposed to take her to play, so can she not go?!

The mother and son walked away hand in hand. Where can the villagers see this, they all kindly remind, saying that human life is a matter of heaven, you can't frolic, you can't go, there is some condemnation of the fat man in the words, how can you let a child and a girl take such a risk!

The fat man said, have you ever seen a child who is full without eating and drinking?

The fat man can understand in his heart that he is a mortal man, and he can't see anything, and if he wants to find out a thing or two, he has to let Xiao Xi go to see how smart this child is! It has always been him who cheats his father, and when no father can pit him, if he refuses to go, it means that it is really dangerous; If he is willing to go, it means that he is confident and has his own way to deal with it, so he can rest assured.
