Chapter 106 Two-legged sheep
This Han Sanbian and Liu Futang stayed overnight all the way, crossed the mountains and mountains, and spent the money they brought in a few days. There was no way, the two had to beg along the street and beg for food on bamboo boards! Fortunately, the sky is far away from this pass, and the population is sparse, so it is enough to grow some food, so they are not hungry! On this day, they came to a village, which was crowded with people, and it turned out that they were rushing to the market! The two squeezed into the crowd, begged for two steamed buns, ate one, and carried another. At this time, listening to two guests who drank wine, they could make a fortune by picking ginseng in the mountains, and a certain person in the neighboring village picked ginseng with the thickness of a finger and bought it for a big price! Another person said, what is this? My relatives, when they went into the mountains to collect ginseng, they passed by a river ditch and saw the golden light at the bottom of the river. Han Sanbian and Liu Futang heard the two people talk about picking ginseng, so they asked those two people for guidance on how to pick ginseng? The two drinkers told them, "If you go east out of here, you will be able to pick ginseng!" But although there are treasures on that mountain, there are many demons, and I don't think you are very old, so don't venture to that mountain! ”。 If the two of them were willing to listen, they said goodbye to the two drinkers, and walked east for three or five days, and the crowd gradually became scarce! At this time, the dry food that the two of them brought with them had also eaten up, and they hadn't seen the shadow of Changbai Mountain yet! Liu Futang asked someone to inquire, and only then did he know that this Changbai Mountain was still far away from them! As soon as the two of them are combined, they have come here, how can there be any reason to go back? The two of them gritted their teeth, glared, and continued to go to Changbai Mountain!
After walking for more than ten days, I came to the foot of Changbai Mountain, but I saw that Changbai Mountain was towering and endless! Liu Futang saw that Changbai Mountain was endless, so he said to Han Sanbian: "This Changbai Mountain is high and dense, and we can't get out after ten days and half a month, we don't have dry food with us, I'm afraid that the ginseng hasn't been picked yet, so we will starve to death in the forest first!" ”。
Han Sanbian asked, "How is this good?" ”。
Liu Futang said: "On the way here just now, I saw a big car shop, why don't we go to the big car shop and sell a lot of strength, and chew grain for a few days, what do you think?" ”。
Han Sanbian slapped his thigh and said, "What's wrong with this?" We're all called Hanako, so why are you afraid to buy a handful of strength? ”。
The two of them discussed, turned around and walked back, and saw that there was indeed a big house in the shadows of the trees! The two were overjoyed, and when they got closer, a pretense jumped out on the side of the road! Liu Futang said: "Yes, it's this big car shop!" ”。
The two walked to the door, only to see that the door of the big car shop was closed! Han Sanbian was puzzled: "Why is it still closed in broad daylight?" Aren't you going to do business? ”。
Liu Futang was also surprised, leaned on the door and listened inside, and said with a stirring eyebrow: "There are people inside, it seems that they are sharpening knives!" ”。
Han Sanbian said in horror: "What are you doing sharpening knives?" Do you want to kill someone? ”。
Liu Futang sneered: "We are all called Huazi, what's the use of killing us?" Do you eat meat? ”。
Liu Futang pointed to the rice cover picked out above his head and said: "People are also food shops, so they think they are killing chickens and sheep?" ”。 After that, "Dong Dong Dong" knocked on the wooden door three times in a row, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone inside?" ”。
After a while, the wooden door opened, and a bald head poked out of it, and asked, "Who?" ”。
Liu Futang hurriedly smiled all over his face, and explained his intention to the bald head, and the bald man squinted at the two of them and asked, "Do you know how to herd sheep?" ”。
The two nodded like pecking rice and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" We both can do anything! ”。
The bald man's eyes rolled, like the reincarnation of a toad, he opened the door with a "bang", and said: "Then we can say in advance, only two meals a day, and at the end of the month, I will give you five dollars of silver, and those who can do it will stay, and those who can't do it will get out of here!" ”。
The two had been hungry for days, and they heard that there was food to eat and money to take! How to be unhappy? The two nodded like pounding garlic, how could there be any reason not to agree? The bald man led the two into the store, and Han Sanbian saw a dead sheep hanging on the board in the store that had not yet come and was skinned! He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out that this bald man was sharpening his knife and killing sheep just now! ”。
Just when the two of them looked around, they saw a curtain in the store, and a bewitching woman walked in, the woman was about twenty years old, drawing eyebrows and eyes, and applying fragrant powder on her face, looking coquettish and charming! The woman saw Han Sanbian and Liu Futang, frowned and asked the bald man, "What are these two hairy boys doing?" ”。
The bald man respectfully said, "Boss, I found him to herd sheep!" ”。
The woman pinched her nose with her hand and said in disgust: "Take them to the river to wash their bodies, don't smoke all the guests!" ”。
The bald man bowed down, agreed, and was about to lead the two out, but the woman suddenly stopped Han Sanbian and Liu Futang, warning them not to run around, scaring the guests, I will ask you!
Han Sanbian and Liu Futang nodded in agreement, but they scolded their mother in their hearts, and said in their hearts: "What's so great about your mother?" When Lao Tzu has money, even your shabby shop will be sold to you! ”。
The two followed the bald head to the backyard and saw dozens of goats in the backyard, all enclosed in a wooden fence. The bald man pointed to the goats and said to the two, these goats will be released by you in the future, catch up with the mountain in the morning, and drive them down in the evening, and you must not lose them! ”。
Han Sanbian asked the bald man, "Then where do we stay at night?" ”。
The bald man poked his chin and said, "There is a shack next to it, where you can live!" Be careful not to get the sheep taken away by wolves at night! ”。 After explaining this, the bald man's face suddenly changed and said: "You're fine, don't go to the front, you know?" ”。
Seeing the fierce light in the bald man's eyes, the two couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva in fright, and hurriedly nodded in agreement!
Since then, the two of them have put the goats in this big car shop, they go out early and return late, and take care of the goats fat and strong, the water is slippery, the two of them see in their eyes, happy in their hearts! They worked for a month, and the proprietress of the shop gave them five cents. They took the silver and wanted to exchange it for some grain to go into the mountain, but the proprietress persuaded them that the season of picking ginseng has not yet arrived, so you have the right to put sheep here for another month, and when those ginseng-picking visitors come, I beg them to take you into the mountain together, wouldn't it be better?
When the two of them heard it, there was such a good thing in the world? This is to meet the noble person of life, so they happily stayed! Although they ate and drank here, one thing that always bothered them was that they often saw a steady stream of merchants entering the big car shop, but they never saw anyone come out of it again!
Han Sanbian suspected that the big car shop was a black shop, and the merchants had killed the bald man! Liu Futang didn't feel like it, he said to Han Sanbian: "There should always be corpses after people die, where did they get the corpses?" ”。
Han Sanbian remembered the black shop opened by Sun Erniang in the Water Margin, and said, "Maybe they chopped those merchants into meat fillings and wrapped buns!" ”。
Liu Futang's face changed greatly, and he said: "No, if you say that, then we eat meat buns every day with human flesh filling?" So what do they keep so many goats for? ”。
Han Sanbian's stomach churned, he covered his mouth, stabilized his mind, and told Liu Futang that he also discovered a strange phenomenon, whenever a merchant came to stay at night, the same number of goats would be driven out of the store by the bald man that morning, but I didn't see him buy sheep?
Liu Futang was puzzled and said, "What's going on?" Could it be that those sheep have anything to do with these merchants? ”。
Han Sanbian twisted his eyebrows and guessed: "I think there must be something strange in this!" ”。
Liu Futang was scared in his heart, and said to Han Sanbian: "Big brother, I think let's hurry up, maybe this is really a black shop!" ”。
Han Sanbian scratched the back of his head and said, "Don't worry, let's come to the enemy camp tonight, I want to see where those merchants were gotten by them?" ”。
So the two closed the sheepfold and sat and waited until it got dark! When the night was windy and the moon was dark, the two waited until it was completely dark, and then climbed onto the roof of the big car shop! The roof of this big car shop is covered with thatch, and it trembles when you step on it! The two of them were afraid of stepping on the roof of the house, so they both bent down and walked forward on their knees! Climbed to the southeast corner of the big car shop, and it was estimated that the bottom was the bedroom of the proprietress, so I carefully peeled off the thatch, and saw that there was indeed a bedroom below!
The two were overjoyed, and when they looked down, they saw that the proprietress was drawing eyebrows in the mirror! Han Sanbian was amused, thinking to himself when was this, she still had to apply grease and powder? Could it be that the old bustard in the brothel is going down to pick up customers? “。
Before he finished this thought, he saw that the proprietress suddenly grabbed his scalp and pulled it hard, and untied the whole human skin! The two people who were peeking on the roof were so frightened that they almost didn't fall off the roof!
Liu Futang opened his mouth and was about to shout, but he was covered by Han Sanbian! The two of them were full of horror, and when they looked down again, they saw that under the bright lights and shadows, there was a mandrill standing! The mandrill rolled up the human skin, put it on the bed, dragged out a large box from under the bed, opened the box, and took out the contents! A palm-sized stone mill, an iron plow, a carved donkey and a little man, all these things are small and exquisite, like toys!
Han Sanbian and Liu Futang were puzzled, they didn't know what this mandrill was going to do with these toys! I saw that the mandrill held a few things in his hand, blew on them, shouted in his mouth, and threw them on the ground, not wanting the donkey and the villain to move, but the villain put on an iron plough and drove the donkey to plough the ground! In a moment, wheat grew on the ploughed land, and the villain harvested the wheat and put it on the stone mill and ground it into flour!
The mandrill put the flour into the basin again, scrubbed the human skin with a rag, and then put it on his body, and walked out of the bedroom with the basin!
Han Sanbian hurriedly opened the roof of the kitchen again, and saw that the bald man had mixed the flour into dough and made it into baked cakes. The mandrill in human skin, smiling smartly, greeted a group of new merchants tonight, those merchants were already drunk and hazy, and were deliberately teased by this mandrill, and they couldn't help but be distracted, and their hearts were ape!
The mandrill has long sleeves and is good at dancing, and he has put on a beautiful woman's painted skin, and he can't tell these merchants fans from the southeast and northwest! The mandrill took the opportunity to frequently persuade wine, and when the wine was being drunk by the merchants, the bald man came in with baked cakes. The mandrill persuaded the merchants to eat a little bit of the baked cakes, and after the merchants had eaten the baked cakes, their faces turned blue and they fell to the ground!
The mandrill and the bald man clapped their hands and laughed, "It's changed! It's changed! ”。
Han Sanbian was lying on the roof, not understanding what had changed, and after a closer look, he was shocked to find that it was the merchants who were drinking just now, and they had all turned into goats!
The mandrill said to the bald man: "Tomorrow drive these two-legged sheep to the backyard, and when the next guest comes, I can slaughter them and sell meat!" ”。
The bald man agreed, and then asked the mandrill, "What about the two children outside?" I think they're suspicious of us! ”。
The mandrill laughed strangely: "What's this, in a few days, it will be over if they turn them into two-legged sheep!" ”。
The bald man laughed, his body suddenly swelled, and he suddenly turned into a toad! Seeing that the bald man had appeared as a prototype, Shanxiao couldn't help frowning and said, "You look so ugly, but don't let outsiders see it!" ”。
