Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Yellow Skin
The little daughter-in-law couldn't hold back for a while, grabbed her mother-in-law's hand and begged: "Mother, this little master seems to really have some skills, if you know anything, just say it." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The old lady sighed, patted her thigh and cried, "Hey, it's all my blame for the old man who is not angry." ”
The old lady cried and cried, and talked intermittently for a long time before she revealed what happened.
It turned out that three years ago, after a rain, the old man of her family went to the field and found a wet and fluffy thing in the grass kezi. The old man was curious, so he found a branch and opened it to see that it was a little yellow skin. I don't know who put the clamp on his leg, and he couldn't move, staring at him with a pair of round mung bean eyes full of horror.
The old man was a little frightened of the thing and turned to leave. The yellow-skinned man actually let out a terrible cry, as if begging him to save himself. The old man hesitated, but finally decided to open the clamp and release it. Unexpectedly, the little yellow skin stood up with great effort like a person, bowed to him several times, as if he was very grateful to him, and then limped away.
When the old man came back from the ground, he just told the old lady a strange story, and he didn't take it too seriously. After about a month, the two of them had forgotten about it, but they didn't expect that one morning, the old man got up early and opened the door, but he accidentally found that he didn't know who had put a golden bowl at the door. Seeing that there was no one left and right, the old man hurriedly took the bowl home.
The old couple didn't dare to go up, and they didn't dare to go out, and they stayed at home for several days with trepidation, but no one came to them. The two of them wondered, who could be so careless to lose such a valuable gold bowl and not come back to find it? After thinking about it, I agreed that it must be the little yellow skin who is repaying the favor.
Both of them were amazed and sighed. I've heard people talk about this kind of thing, but it's the first time I've experienced it personally.
Thinking about it like this, the old couple's hanging hearts can be put down. I didn't dare to make a noise, so I wrapped the bowls in the three layers inside and three layers outside, and went to the city the next day.
After a day in the city, I didn't dare to take it out and sell it casually. After asking people, I finally found a pawnshop. As soon as the things were put on the table, the guy's eyes straightened, and he immediately greeted him with a smile, turned out from behind the counter, invited the two of them to sit down for tea, and invited the shopkeeper out.
The shopkeeper held the bowl for a long time, and then interrogated the origin of the bowl. The old man had a heart, and only said that it was handed down from his ancestors. The shopkeeper didn't believe it, but seeing that the old man was pretending to be stupid, he didn't ask more, only said that if there was another good thing, he must think about sending it over.
The price is very good, the old couple can really be said to have become rich overnight, and they are so happy that they can't find the north.
At first, the two were still thinking about whether they were afraid that the neighbors would know about whether they should pretend to be poor. Finally, looking at the white silver in his hand, the old man clapped the board - flowers! What is the difference between having money and not spending it, and not having money? So the family happily enjoyed life, built a large tiled house in the Gaomen compound, and married a daughter-in-law to their son.
When everything is done, there is not much money left.
As the old saying goes, it's easy to go from luxury, but it's hard to get simple. In just one year, the family is no longer accustomed to coarse tea and light rice.
Just when everyone was worried about what to do if the money was gone, it was strange to say that a gold bracelet was placed in front of his house the next day. After that, things became more and more weird, just like someone staring at their house, as long as the money was about to run out, there would be gold
Beans, gold leaves, or something appear on the doorstep.
It stands to reason that everyone should be happy when things have developed at this point, but unfortunately, man is a greedy species. Once the door of desire is opened, everything that is sane will be swallowed up.
What a good thing it is to have money to spend for nothing without having to work! Before, every day with his back to the loess and facing the sky, the family had a tight life, at most, they went up the mountain to pick up firewood and went to the city to exchange for some cash. Now that I have a lot of money all of a sudden, I am still so rich, as the so-called "full of warm thoughts **** son did not learn badly, this old man slowly has a flower intestines, nothing to go to the city to learn the rich man to pretend to be an uncle, go to the kiln."
Where is the kiln, how can a man get out if he goes in? The money was spent like running water, and the money exchanged for the treasure at the door soon could not meet the old man's needs.
After a long time, the old man was dissatisfied with the little yellow skin, why was he so indifferent, what did he always do little by little? Can't you just give more at a time? It's better to give a mountain of gold at once!
So he began to rack his brains to figure out how to open his mouth and let the little yellow skin get more. You have to meet this request, right? The old man followed the devil and blocked the door every day, and then he really blocked it.
That day, the old man was behind the door as usual. In the middle of the night, I heard a movement outside the door, and thought, "I've caught you, so I pushed the door and jumped out, even more fierce than the young man."
"Hey, it turned out ......"
Everyone looked at the old lady and didn't know what happened next.
The old lady suddenly gritted her teeth and cried and scolded: "This useless old thing, my heart is too anxious, the little yellow skin was unprepared and directly crushed his feet, and even his legs were crushed, as if he was still kowtowing, and he swallowed his breath after a while." As a result, the old man died the next day without coming up in one breath, leaving us orphans and widows," the old lady raised her eyes and saw her daughter-in-law standing aside, and hurriedly changed her words: "There is also a daughter-in-law, how can we live?" ”
Jing'an and I glanced at each other, and said in my heart, "Hmph, it's really retribution."
The old lady cried for a while, but no one urged her, and then she continued: "After the old man is gone, no one will give me this money, and the family will rely on my son to work alone." It's back to the old hard days, but who knows that this is not the end, my son's body has problems again, and he gets sick from time to time. In order to treat his son's illness, the things that the family had purchased before were almost sold. ”
The old lady cried again when she talked about her sadness, and the little daughter-in-law also cried beside her. After breathing a sigh of relief, the old lady continued: "The money is not spent, but this disease has not been cured." Usually it's all good, but when you can't keep it, you suddenly get sick, you don't eat or drink when you get sick, and you don't talk nonsense. It's been less than half a year, you see, how thin has my son become? How can it be like a person! ”
The old lady wiped away her tears, gritted her teeth and said, "You say that this yellow man hates people, the old man is dead and paid for his life, my son is a good son, I don't owe him anything, why does it torture my son?" If you have the ability, why don't you come to my old woman? ”
