Chapter 2 Dong Yong sold himself to bury his father
------First of all, I wish you good luck! The Seven Fairies and Dong Yonglai have come to you for support! Without your support, it would be difficult for our husband and wife to reunite, and a happy life would be even more out of reach. No one knows our suffering without clicking, we have to sleep on the street without collection, we are black accounts without recommendation, we are Diao people without evaluation, we can't afford breakfast without rewards, we have to be hungry without subscriptions, and we can't afford to take the bus without a monthly pass. Ask for support------
The director called out Gudao's name several times, but no one responded.
The director saw that the house on the ancient road was not closed, so the director stood in front of the door of the thatched house, and looked through the gap in the door of the thatched house, and looked inside the house, and there was no one in the house.
In other words, most of the people now, regardless of the three, seven, twenty, and the first, go find a stool or something like that, sit down, and take a good breath.
However, the directors are disciples of the sages and Confucian sects, so they naturally need to abide by the teachings of the sages and the rules of Confucianism.
In the teachings of the sages and the Confucian rules, there is such a rule, "Do not enter". "Do not enter" means that if someone does not invite you into his house, you should not enter other people's homes casually, otherwise it will be rude if it is light, and it will even cause trouble if it is serious.
The father and son of the director stood and waited for a while, but the ancient road still did not appear.
After the father and son stood and waited for a while, the father and son felt that their legs and feet were a little unbearable, so they walked under the old locust tree and wanted to find a relatively clean place to sit down and rest.
Fortunately, there are several stumps under the old locust tree, and the upper part of the stump is smooth, so it seems that the ancient road used to read books under the old locust tree.
The director, father and son, sat on the stump under the old locust tree and waited!
A few hours passed like this, and the director, father and son, both gurgled and screamed with hunger.
It happened that there was a small pool next to the old locust tree, so in order to quench their hunger, the father and son had to take turns to go to the pool to get water to drink.
The director, father and son, don't know how to drink water, they can only quench their thirst, but they can't fill their stomachs. As a result, the more water I drank, the hungrier I became.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the hearts of the directors and father and son also fell with the sun's set.
Finally, an old man herding sheep appeared.
The old man who herded the sheep slowly drove a flock of sheep down the road.
As soon as the director saw the old man herding the sheep, he hurriedly greeted him, but the old man was startled.
The old man who was herding the sheep was angry.
The old man was angry, so he blamed the director, "What do you want to do?"
The director hurriedly apologized to the old man who was herding sheep. "Old man, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good. The director said to the old man who was herding sheep.
When the old man heard this, he was very, very happy. So the old man who was herding the sheep took the initiative to ask the director. "Are you waiting for someone sitting under the old locust tree?" asked the old man who was herding the sheep.
"Yes, yes!" the director agreed. "I have a classmate friend Gu Dao, according to Gu Dao told me, there is an old locust tree in front of his house, I wonder if the thatched houses next to this old locust tree are Gu Dao's home?" said the director as he pointed to the thatched houses next to the old locust tree and asked the old man who was herding sheep.
The old man's expression became a little strange.
After a while. The old man who was herding the sheep asked, "Are you really looking for the ancient road next to the old locust tree?"
A feeling of dismal awkwardness welled up in the minds of the directors.
"Old man, you can be clear, what's wrong with the ancient road?" the director asked the old man who was herding sheep.
"Alas!" the old man sighed, and then told the director, "You are late, and he is dead." ”
"Ah...!" As soon as the director heard the news, he immediately felt weak and almost sat on the ground.
The old man herding the sheep continued: "The ancient road was drowned by the water when the boat capsized when crossing the river, and it has not been a few days, and it has not been a few days since the ancient road was buried in the soil. ”
The old man who was herding the sheep looked at the sun that was about to set, and said to the director: "It's not early, I won't tell you, I'm leaving." ”
The old man was driving the sheep as he prepared to leave.
The old man who was herding the sheep drove the sheep for a while, and then ran over to the director and said, "Anyway, there is no one living in the house on the ancient road, so why don't you live there first?"
When the old man had said this, he hurried to chase after his flock.
So far, that's all it takes.
The director and Dong Yong's father and son had no choice but to live in the thatched hut where Gudao used to live according to the method said by the old man herding sheep.
The director and Dong Yong searched separately in the thatched hut, and there was nothing to fill their stomachs. Plus it's getting late,
Outside the room, I couldn't see my fingers. Therefore, the father and son had to go to bed hungry.
The next morning, Dong Yong woke up from his sleep and prepared to go outside with his father, the director, to find some wild food to fill his stomach.
Dong Yong called out a few times, "Father". No one agreed.
So Dong Yong went to shake the director's body.
Who knows!
Who knows?
Dong Yong's hand touched the director's body and found that the director had become a cold body.
It turned out that the director's health was not very good, and because of the long-distance travel, fatigue, excessive hunger, and the sudden death of his classmate Gu Dao, the director's idea of coming to seek refuge was frustrated and deeply shocked, and under the combination of such reasons, the director passed away in this way.
Overnight, Dong Yong became a helpless orphan.
As soon as he thought that he had become a helpless orphan, Dong Yong cried sadly.
After Dong Yong cried for a while, he remembered that he needed to find a place to bury the body of his father, the director.
But now that I am penniless and destitute, and I am a foreigner, it is not easy to find a place to bury my body.
In order to prevent his old father, who died suddenly, from being exposed in the wilderness, Dong Yong had to sell himself to bury his father.
The reason why Dong Yong sold his body to bury his father is actually very simple, because there is a record of selling his body to bury his father in books.
So as soon as I recalled, I thought of the way of selling my body to bury my father.
Dong Yong searched and searched in the thatched hut where he lived, and finally found a wooden plank.
Then, Dong Yong used the fragments of the porcelain bowl to draw his middle finger.
Dong Yong used his own blood to write the words "sell yourself to bury your father" on the wooden board.
Then Dong Yong stuck a wooden board with the bloody words "sell yourself and bury your father" on his back. Then he ran to the town of Danyin Town, where the Ninghui Gaitu County Administration (that is, the current government) is located. From the thatched houses in Shanli Village, where Dong Yong lived, to Danyin Town, where Ninghui changed to Tu County Administration (that is, the current government), there were nearly ten miles of road. Therefore, Dong Yong was out of breath.
Looking at Dong Yong, who was kneeling in the middle of the main road in Danyin Town, where the Danyin Town Governance Office (that is, the current government) of Ninghui Gaitu County was located, the famous good people in Gaitu County felt that Dong Yong was very, very pitiful, after all, Dong Yong had been hungry for almost two days, so he was listless.
Looking at Dong Yong's pitiful appearance, the sympathy of the good staff rose. So he bought Dong Yong. Hao Yuanwai's original surname was Hao, and because he liked to do good deeds, he was called Hao Yuanwai by the locals.
The reason why Dong Yong wanted to sell his body to bury his father was because his family had no land, and Dong Yong's family had no land, which meant that there was no place to bury Dong Yong's old father, who died suddenly of illness. But for people who are rich and powerful, such as good employees, it is actually a small thing at all. Under the order of the good staff, several members of the Hao family set off, went to the thatched hut next to the old locust tree in Shanli Village, Danyin Town, where Dong Yong lived, and carried the body of Dong Yong's old father to a piece of land with not so good soil in one of the many plots of land outside the good staff, dug a soil pit there, and buried Dong Yong's old father's body in the earthen pit.
