Chapter 2 Rat Friends

A lot of things happened during the Spring Festival this year, and Hu Guohua's case of cheating his uncle out of money was finally revealed, and his uncle was angry and angry, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and he died in less than three days.

The relatives and friends of the Hu family all guarded him like a thief, not to mention lending him money, and they didn't even let him rub a bite of leftovers. Hu Guohua sold the last pair of sandalwood boxes in the family for two silver oceans, which were his mother's dowry, and he always wanted to keep a thought, but he was reluctant to pawn them. But when the addiction to cigarettes started, I couldn't care about that much, so I bought a small piece of Fushou paste with these two dollars, and rushed home to light a cigarette bubble and pour it on the bed, inhaled twice, and my body was as light as in the clouds.

At this moment, he feels like a fairy, and the experiences of being looked down upon, insulted, and bullied on weekdays are not important. After two more puffs, he suddenly found that there was a black whirring thing on his broken bed, and when he looked closely, there was a big mouse lying on the corner of the bed, this mouse must not be young, his beard has turned white, and his body is about the same size as a cat, and it is sucking the smoke from Hu Guohua's cigarette gun next to it, as if it also knows the benefits of this Fushou ointment, sniffing its nose and enjoying it greedily.

Hu Guohua thought it was interesting and said to the big mouse: "You guy also has a smoking addiction? It seems that I am in the same way. Then he took a puff and spat at the mouse with his mouth, and the mouse, as if knowing that he had no ill will, and was not afraid of him, raised his head to receive the smoke that was being sprayed at it. After a while, it seemed that he was too addicted, and slowly crawled away.

For several days, this big mouse came to smoke with Hu Guohua every day, Hu Guohua was despised everywhere, there was no half of friends around, and he had a good impression of this mouse, sometimes the mouse came a little later, and Hu Guohua endured the addiction to smoke and waited for it.

But the good times didn't last long, Hu Guohua's house was left with a bed and four walls, and there was no money to buy tobacco and soil, he was depressed and helpless, and sighed and said to the mouse: "Mouse, mouse, today I have no money to buy Fushou ointment, I'm afraid I can't often smoke this flavor with you." He sighed.

The mouse listened to him, his eyes flashed, and he turned away thoughtfully. When it was dark, the mouse came back with a silver dollar and put it next to Hu Guohua's pillow, Hu Guohua was pleasantly surprised, and went into the city overnight to buy a piece of Fushou ointment.

The next day, the mouse took three silver dollars in his mouth, Hu Guohua was so happy that he didn't know what to say, and remembered an allusion he learned when he was in a private school, so he said to the mouse: "The one who knows the middle, Bao Shuya is also, you know that I am poor and generous to me, it is really my confidant, if you don't dislike it, we will become Jinlan brothers." From then on, he called this mouse brother and brother, called him "Brother Mouse", ate together, smoked a lot together, and made a nest for it in bed with cotton wool, so that the mouse also slept on the bed.

People and mice are at peace, no less than the friendship of Mo Rebellion, the mice go out every day to bring back silver dollars, as little as one or two, as many as three or five, since then Hu Guohua has no worries about food and clothing. Years later, my grandfather would recall that it was the happiest time of his life.

After more than half a year, Hu Guohua gradually became richer, but isn't there such a sentence? Fortune meets friends, bad luck touches villains, and Hu Guohua is poor life, he was targeted by a villain.

There is a scoundrel in the village named Wang Ergangzi, he is different from Hu Guohua, Hu Guohua was at least once rich, and he has been the "Young Master Hu" for more than 20 years.

Wang Erkongzi didn't have such a good life, from his ancestors to his generation, he didn't wear a pair of pants that didn't show his cheeks, he saw that Hu Guohua's family business was defeated, gloating, and scolded and insulted Hu Guohua when he had nothing to do, bullied and bullied the young master Hu back then, and found some balance in his heart.

Recently, he felt very strange, Hu Guohua, a poor boy, didn't make a living, everything he could pawn at home was pawned, and his relatives were almost dead, why did he smoke at home every day? Where did he get all the money to buy tobacco? Maybe this kid has become a thief, so I might as well keep an eye on him quietly, and when he steals something, catch him and twist him and send him to the government for a few oceans of reward.

But after staring for a while, I found that Hu Guohua basically stayed at home and never interacted with anyone, except for occasionally going into the city to buy some food and tobacco. The more he didn't know where his money came from, the more itchy Wang Ergangzi became.

One day, Hu Guohua went out to buy food, and Wang Ergangzi took the opportunity to climb over the wall and enter his house, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find out what Hu Guohua's secrets were. Suddenly found that there was a big mouse sleeping on the bed, Wang Erkongzi grabbed the mouse and threw it into a pot of water that was boiling on the stove, and then pressed the lid of the pot, thinking that when Hu Guohua came home to drink water, I would have fun watching it next to me.

Before Wang Erkong went out, Hu Guohua came back, just blocked him into the house, Hu Guohua saw the big mouse in the pot, had been scalded to death, suddenly red eyes, picked up the kitchen knife and chopped, Wang Erkong was cut more than a dozen knives, fortunately, Hu Guohua is a big smoker, his hands are weak, although Wang Erkong was hit by a lot of knives, but he was not fatally injured, he fled to the security team for help with blood all over his body, the captain of the security team is a relative of a local warlord, and he was inviting this warlord to drink, the captain saw that this was repaid? Committing murder with a knife in broad daylight, is there no royal law? Hurriedly ordered a few subordinates to tie up Hu Guohua's flowers.

Hu Guohua was escorted to the front of the hall, and the security captain shouted and asked, why did he kill Wang Erkong with a knife?

Hu Guohua burst into tears, sobbing and recounting the whole story, and finally lamented and said: "I thought I was in trouble and wanted to die, without this mouse I would not be alive today, but I was negligent for a moment and caused Brother Rat to die, although it was not killed by me, but because of me." Jiuquan bears this good friend, how can I be embarrassed, I do things alone, since I cut Wang Erkong, the killing and punishment are all subject to the fall, just ask the chief to let me go home and bury my mouse brother, even if I die, I will be blind. ”

Before the security captain could speak, the warlord next to him sighed and said to Hu Guohua: "He ***, he is not ungrateful, he is benevolent, he is righteous, and he is still like this to mice, let alone to people?" I read your benevolence and righteousness, and I see that you are helpless, so you will follow me to the army and become an adjutant in the future. ”

The warlord leader instructed his subordinates to whip the king with a whip to Hu Guohua, and let Hu Guohua go home to bury the mouse, Hu Guohua buried the mouse in a wooden box, dug a pit and buried it, and cried for a long time, and then went to the warlord leader.

As the saying goes: when you are hungry, eating bran is as sweet as honey, and when you are full, eating honey is not sweet. When a person is poor and falls, others will be grateful to Dade even if they give him a bowl of porridge and a piece of cake, not to mention that the rats gave Hu Guohua so much money, of course, the rats' money was also stolen. The sage said that he would die of thirst and not drink the water of the stolen spring, but that was the moral standard of the most holy and sage person, and it was difficult for the ancients to do it, let alone a mediocre person like Hu Guohua? I used to hear that smoking in the room will become addicted to flies and mice in the house after a long time, and this is true.
