When the general woke up, he saw a man in his forties, aged forty, walking by the wall, looking like he had endless energy, because he wanted to go out to earn money and find a way, and when the general was recuperating from his injuries, he didn't see him, he saw that the general was awake, smiled honestly, touched his head, and said, "Big brother is awake now, do you want to eat something?" I asked me to make it for you. ”

A thin old man with a scorched yellow wrinkled face, who had just stepped into the inner room with one foot, heard this, and reprimanded the man: "Look at you, why don't you know the severity so much, now sir, you can't eat yet, you can only drink soup, if you eat something and cause a wound, it will be troublesome." ”

When the middle-aged man heard the old man say this, he smiled innocently, and when he saw the old man enter the house, he took care of himself and went out of the house to do his own work.

The general looked up at the approaching old man, with a kind face, his sparse white hair scratched by the morning breeze, and a pair of weather-beaten, deep eyes flashing under his broad thick eyebrows. There is a short beard around the side of the mouth, and a few wrinkles on the broad forehead.

He tried to sit up, but the old man stopped him, and said in a flustered tone, "Sir, this is not a good thing, if it affects the wound and causes the wound to open, it will not be easy to get it." ”

Seeing this, the general smiled reluctantly and said, "I really bother you, and I have caused you trouble again and again, and I really don't want to go away." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Sir, this is where you say, when the road is uneven, you have to draw a knife to help, not to mention the Buddhist saying, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, Mr. Don't say such unsightly words." ”

The general smiled apologetically, and was about to lie down again, when the old man took out a brocade bag, on which was embroidered with delicate and exquisite bags, and he was a little surprised, and he couldn't help but start to doubt the family again.

The old man smiled and handed the bag to the general's eyes, and said: "This is the courage of Mr. to kill the tiger and eliminate the harm for the people, this is us and the people around us who often go into the mountains to collect medicine, sell the tiger skin, tiger meat, and tiger bones, plus a little money we made up ourselves, and buy a fine pearl for Mr. ”

The general thought to himself, these mountain people are really simple, they saved people, and they didn't say that they wanted to repay the kindness, but they also gave me a lot of money. He thought in his heart, and said: "Old man, you are the outside, you saved my life when I was deeply poisoned and in danger, and now, you have to give me everyone's money, how can I be happy." ”

The old man put the bag beside the general, and said respectfully: " Sir, to tell you the truth, we have suffered from this tiger, for five years, this tiger does not know where it came from, entrenched here, repeatedly hurt people, we need to go up the mountain to chop wood, in exchange for some living needs, but it seems to know what people need, dominate the mountain pass, we have no way, only to open a pond by ourselves, fish farming, other people living in the city, not so convenient as us, so it is really painful, now Mr. Demeng shot, the fierce tiger killed, we are really grateful to Dade, where dare to ignore the conscience, greedy Mr. Tiger money？”

The general smiled slightly, and when he saw him say this, he said calmly: "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey the order, and the money will be kept with me for the time being, and if you need it, just take it." ”

At this time, a woman came with a bowl of fragrant fish soup, and the old man looked solemn and instructed the woman: "You must do your best, take care of your husband, and don't make any mistakes." ”

The woman replied, "Daddy, I will take good care of my husband, if I hadn't told him to feed the fish, he wouldn't have done such a thing, I really feel guilty, I don't need my father to remind me, I will do my best to take care of him." ”

When the general saw that the woman mentioned feeding the fish, the old man seemed to blame her, so he hurriedly stopped: "It's me who is so bored and panicked that I want to find something to do, so this sister-in-law found an easy job for me, but it happened suddenly, I didn't expect it myself, and I accidentally removed this harm for you, it seems that this is the will of God, and the old man should not blame this sister-in-law." ”

When the woman saw that the general was still excusing her, for a while, her eyes were full of tears, and she said: "This matter started because of me, but I didn't expect that Mr. not only did not blame me, but also spoke for me, and I really felt sorry in my heart." ”

Seeing this, the general teased: "My sister-in-law is carrying such a delicious fish soup, which is so fragrant that it makes me hungry." Do you have to wait until it's cold before giving it to me?"

The woman smiled shyly, hurriedly lifted her sleeves, sat next to the general, and fed the general little by little.
