During the Ming Dynasty, there was a lazy man named Wang Xiao'er in the 100,000 Mountains. Idle hands do not say anything, do not do any work. It doesn't matter if the cover of his own thatched hut leaks, the name is that the sky should be used as a bed, cool and cool. Seeing that Wang Xiao'er was really not saved, the daughter-in-law rolled up her things and returned to her mother's house.
No one cared about it, and Wang Xiao'er lay down completely. On a sunny day, go out to the neighbor's house to beg for food. If it rains on a cloudy day, even if you are hungry at home, you will not move half a point.
One day, Wang Xiao'er was really hungry and panicked, and was ready to go to the east of the village to see if there was any fishing and enjoy a fish to eat.
Coming to the river, there were only a few women washing clothes there, and no one was fishing. Wang Xiao'er's gaze swept away and he saw the stone house opposite.
The stone house has a great history in the local area, and it is said that one year a child came from the village, dressed in red, muttering in his mouth, hurry up, hurry up, shrimp soldiers and crabs are coming.
At that time, the people in the village were strange, who was this child, how could he never see it.
The black-skinned one did not come with the family begging for food. There were well-meaning people in the village who led the child to the house and took some sweet potatoes for the child. This red child is also not polite, and he eats what he has eaten.
After eating a basket of sweet potatoes and not full, the family knew that 80% of the red children were weird, and they were busy informing the village chief.
The village chief was well-informed and knew that this red child was a monster in the mountains. And this red child did not hurt anyone, and the song he said was 80% true. The whole village was ordered to move overnight, and it was because of the reminder of the red child that the villagers escaped the flood.
In order to commemorate the grace of life given by the red child, a stone house was specially built. Regularly put some food in it, so that the elves here can eat some.
Wang Xiao'er's hungry eyes were blue at the moment, and he couldn't care less. Step onto the wooden bridge next to it and walk to the stone house door.
The women who washed their clothes saw it and were busy shouting in the distance, Wang Xiao'er, you don't want to die, dare to rob the red child's food.
The corners of Wang Xiao'er's mouth sneered, and he secretly said in his heart: I am starving to death now, no matter what red children and green children you are.
Push the door in, and a damp smell comes over you. Because there are no windows around the stone house, the gate is closed all year round. The visibility inside was very low, and the god was like the red child, with some melons, fruits, pears and peaches in front of him, and some wine dishes, but the dishes were already black and could not be eaten.
Wang Xiao'er looked around, and there was no one in the room. After a few prayers, I walked to the offering table, took a pot of old wine, ate a few melons and fruits, and the feeling of hunger subsided a lot.
I was eating huan, when I heard a voice floating in, saying: Is something delicious?
Frightened, Wang Xiao'er was excited and turned to look at the source of the sound. Just now I looked around and no one, was it the villagers who followed into the house.
And the location where the sound was emitted, at this moment, a person actually appeared. Next to the dark face, with braids on both sides, a red dress.
Wang Xiao'er turned his head again to look at the statue on offer, exactly the same, this was the appearance of the red child. Frightened, Wang Xiao'er was busy lying on the ground, and he prostrated his head vigorously and confessed his mistake.
And the child came over and said, "Don't be afraid, eat something is nothing, and I can't eat you." Get up, by the way, you seem to be called Wang Xiao'er.
Wang Xiao'erxin said that there are really red children here, it seems that the legend is true, but I don't know what kind of monster has changed. And it doesn't hold me accountable for eating, and it seems that the elves here are certainly not bad people.
Of course, I couldn't say it directly, and I said in a circle of my head: Yes, Red Child, my name is Wang Xiao'er, and everyone in the village calls me Xiao'er.
He looked at the underage red child, patted his chest and said: Your old man also calls me Little Two, what is the command, although you open your mouth, eat your meal, and give you a mountain.
The red child giggled and said: "Pay off the debt, you often come here to eat, I can't eat much as a "person", and a lot of things are wasted.
Wang Xiao'erxin said that there was still this good thing, and he was busy thanking the red child.
In the next few days, as long as people send food over, as soon as the front foot leaves, the back foot Wang Xiao'er will follow.
Wang Xiao'er ate with a fat brain, but it didn't feel right to eat it. The red child has grown taller, and his appearance is already somewhat similar to Wang Xiao'er.
Wang Xiao'er was a little confused and decided to ask what was going on today. Entering the stone house, there stood a "man" in front of him. As soon as this "person" turned around, Wang Xiao'er's head flickered, and he actually looked exactly like himself, and his expression was also exquisite.
The "man" said, "My name is Wang Xiao'er, who are you?"
Even if Wang Xiao'er was stupid, he knew that the red child was not at ease. It's about becoming yourself, replacing yourself. Pointing at the red child, he said: You are a monster, why did you become like me?
The red child laughed and said: Since you don't want to be yourself, then how about I help you do it. I will study diligently and get a meritorious name. Take your daughter-in-law, oh, I said wrong, now is my daughter-in-law to take home and live a good life. How do you see that?
Wang Xiao'er was remorseful in his heart, how he hadn't left here earlier. But laziness has penetrated deep into the marrow, where can it be easily changed. At this moment, I wanted to go forward and fight with the red child, but my body could not move.
The red child circled Wang Xiao'er a few times and said: I sucked your yang qi, and I am Completely Wang Xiao'er. Now I'm going to start sucking, you hold on a little bit, and soon you'll be free.
Wang Xiao'er was angry and ashamed, remembering that his wife was diligent and earnest to let himself run away, and none of the neighbors gave him a good look. I fainted in a hurry.
Confused, I don't know how long it has been. When I opened my eyes again, I saw nothing but the sound of a slap.
A fiery pain on his face fixed his eyes. It was the daughter-in-law who was slapping herself, and there stood next to her a scruffy old man. But the red child was gone, was I still dreaming or saying that I was already in the Yin Cao Mansion?
The scruffy old man smiled and said: Don't fight, it's easy to fight stupid.
Wang Xiao's second daughter-in-law stopped at this time, looking at him with hatred and hatred, and feeling still angry.
The old man then said: The red child frightens you, since it can save the life of your entire village, how can it take your rotten life alone? Your daughter-in-law entrusted me to find a way, I just want to come up with this trick, how, is it still useful?
Wang Xiao'er was secretly angry in his heart, this old Dao really could play with flowers. However, I felt ashamed of my wife and did not have a good day, so I was silent.
After the Daoist priest left, Wang Xiao'er changed his laziness and slowly improved his life from then on. And that stone house king Xiao Er often delivers food, and has never met a red child again, you say strange is not strange.
