At the beginning of the day, the sky is slight, and the rooster cries in the morning. The town of more than 200 households is gradually bustling, the doors of the shops next to the street are opened one after another, and the merchants here have opened their doors early to do business.

At the entrance of the major shops, the vendor in coarse linen clothes yawned and stood at the newly opened gate and waited early, waiting for the arrival of the first customer.

Looking at Beiwang Town from Beishan, Liujiang stretches down to the south, like a long dragon, Beiwang Town Three Streets and Nine Alleys, when it is like a "Jue", Beishan pulls out the clouds, like a Crouching Tiger, Vientiane Tibetan Road.

In the backyard of a two-story restaurant called "Shangshan Building" on Fuchun Street, an older old man leaned against the doorpost of the east wing and opened his throat and scolded: "Wang Lianqing, you little rabbit cub, what time are you watching, don't you get up to open the door to make a living, do you want to learn from the rotten cat on the wall, listless during the day, and tossing around at night like spring?"

The cat on the wall seemed to hear the old man scolding himself, jumped off the wall with a "meow" and disappeared into the morning mist, the old man shouted his name a few times, and no one in the room answered.

The old man muttered, "Isn't it dead?"

After underestimating it, there was a noise inside.

"Hey, stinky old man, who are you cursing to die, aren't you still alive and well at such an old age, how can I go before you, if you want to die, you will die first, I will live to be eight years old." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the wing room opened with a "snort", and a head poked out of it, and the old man reached out and slapped him, but he didn't expect that the head seemed to have expected this situation in advance, and retracted it, and the old man's slap fell short, and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, dare to talk to me like this, see that I don't kill you." ”

"Old man, no one will give you a pension if you kill me, you think clearly. ”

The old man scolded indignantly at the door: "You ungrateful little dog, I didn't dig you out of the pit of the dead if I knew it, and I was angry that I had a short life and a big loss." ”

"Old man, don't you have a bad conscience when you speak, I've been up early for so many years, I've been greedy and hardworking to help you with chores, you should make a lot of money, you said this to give me a chilling experience, I guess I can't do it today, it's too chilling. ”

"Little cub, don't kick my nose in the face, go out and do things for me, I promise not to hit you. ”

"Old man, this is what you said, what should you do if you beat me when I come out?"

"Hmm~ Hmph, come out~ beat you, 'I'll choke to death when I eat, choke to death when I drink water, how about it?" the old man said slyly.

"Okay, that's what you say. As soon as the words were finished, the door opened with a "呲~呀", and a thin child walked out of it with a cower, about twelve or thirteen years old, not very tall, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and his appearance was quite energetic.

The child's eyes stared at the old man at the door, stared at the old man for a while, and found that there was nothing abnormal, the child stepped out of the door and turned to pull the door, just wanted to face the old man, but found that the old man was already standing behind him, grabbing the back of his neck clothes, and slapping the head, the child found that it was too late, and screamed: "Stinky old man, you don't tell the truth, you swore an oath, and you will suffer evil if you break your promise." ”

"Stinky boy, your grandfather has lived long enough to make you disrespectful and unfilial, and let you curse me to death. Then there was another beating, and the child fled with his head in his hands.

After a lesson, the old man let go of his hand, and the child immediately ran away, looking back at the old man and cursing, "Dead old man, treacherous, you wait to suffer."

The old man took off his right foot and wanted to throw it over, but the child saw that something was wrong and immediately ran away. Running towards Langfang, he turned around and grimaced at the old man, and then quickly disappeared around the corner.

"Rabbit cub," the old man muttered, and then shouted in the direction where the child had disappeared, "Open the door, and remember to put incense on the pillar to the God of Wealth." There was a faint "got it" behind him.
