Lai stonemasons and old immortals

Legend has it that there was once a stonemason who was very honest and loyal. The craft is also very famous, people see him honestly and honestly, they will call him to do the craft, but there are also people with bad intentions, seeing that he honestly pits him and does not pay the worker. It is said that there is a place called seven up and eight down lives a rich Rich Man Li, why is it called seven up and eight down, because here the mountain is high to go up to the top of the mountain and down, are cliff roads are particularly difficult to walk,

In order to pave the way, the rich man Li called on The Lai stonemason to help him pave the way with stones. He said that he would pay the workers after three months of completion, and the stonemason also agreed with his mouth. Prepared the tools to come to the construction site, seven up and eight down this place is very mountain old far from a person Lai stonemasons every day at noon to eat is brought in the morning, every day sun and rain work.

Two months have passed like water, but half of the work has not been completed and a month will have to be paid, otherwise there will be no wages, and the rich man Li saw that the stonemason was still half unfinished and wanted not to give him a salary to let him finish it in half a month.

Lai stonemason has no choice but to work hard, this day at noon, the weather is clear and the sun is basking Lai stonemason mouth is dry, only half a pot of water is left, suddenly an old man walked over to ask for water to drink, Lai stonemason took a look and said that the kettle is there you can pick up and drink! The old man was also not polite to drink the water.

The old man saw that the stonemason was still doing things and said that the young man should rest for a while on a hot day.

Lai stonemason said that the old man did not have time to rest yo, these work can not be completed in half a month and there will be no wages, this rich man with a thousand knives is the lord of the pit people. After saying that, he looked back at the old man and was gone. I thought this old man was really interesting, and left without a word.

At noon the next day, the old man came to Lai Mason, who was eating lunch. When the stonemason saw him coming, he said whether to eat together, and the old man said that he would eat it, and if he didn't come, the two of them ate it separately. The old man finished eating and left without speaking, and the stonemason did not say anything to continue his work.

In this way, the old man would come every day when the lai stonemason ate, and the lai stonemason thought that it would be difficult to get the salary anyway, knowing that the old man would come to eat every day, and also prepared two meals and delicious dishes. It's been half a month, there is still a day to be handed over and there are still many undo, Lai mason is not in the mood to do it just sit there to play, almost noon the old man took a wine pot in his hand today to lai mason and said how the young man did not work, Lai mason said, do not dry anyway, today is not done and can not get money. The old man listened and said well, I came to you every day to eat for half a month, today I brought a pot of wine we ate together while talking, Lai mason told the old man Li rich man is not a good thing himself for 3 months. The two of them fell asleep drunk under a few glasses of wine, and the old man saw that the stonemason was asleep, and the fingers of his hand did not finish the stone piece by piece and became square and square as the stonemason chiseled. Seeing that the stonemason has not woken up, he said that you should rest well, and at night you can go to the rich man Li to get your due wages. When the Lai stonemason woke up and saw that all the unscheduled stones were chiseled, it turned out that the old man was an old immortal, and every day lai masons came to lai masons to eat in it, and Lai masons' sincerity touched him, so they helped him to let the lai stonemason know the truth and shouted to thank the old immortals for their help, so Lai masons successfully got paid from Li Rich Lord.
