In ancient times, there was a Xujia town along the coast, and there was a rich family in the town. He had two sons, the eldest son, Xu Zhiwen, who was born to his wife.
After the death of his wife, Xu Fugui gave birth to his second son, Xu Zhiwu. Xu Zhiwen was angry with his stepmother since he was a child, and he knew that his father would not support himself, so he resigned himself to it and just buried his head in reading.
Xu Zhiwu was spoiled by his mother-in-law's arrogance, teasing dogs and walking birds every day, bullying the weak, and becoming a clumsy disciple.
Xu Zhiwen went to read under an old willow tree by the river every day. On this day, the wind blew, the old willow branches and leaves roared, and the sound of an old man sighing faintly sounded inside.
Xu Zhiwen was confused in his heart, and listened to his ears in a hurry, only to hear the old man sigh quietly: The original author Hao Lijun.
"I have reached the limit, but unfortunately my willow body, if anyone can make a wooden boat, can guarantee four people to ride, can resist the wind and waves on the water, and never overturn the boat..."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiwen was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know if it was really an illusion. I didn't think much of it at the moment. Unexpectedly, after January, the sky was raining heavily, thunder and lightning, and a thunderbolt hit the old willow tree, and the tree burned most of it.
The villagers came to watch, and Xu Zhiwen thought that he often read under the tree, and he couldn't help but cry. In honor of the old willow tree, he set out a half-burnt willow tree.
The villagers all felt that this tree was ominous, and because it was burned in half, they all shook their heads and left, saying that Xu Zhiwen had become a fool of reading and behaved strangely, and did not think about it at the moment.
Xu Zhiwen transported the old willow tree home, bought carpenter tools, did it himself, and after a month, he actually made a small boat.
In this year, the coastal wokou suddenly attacked. One day, Wu Kou attacked the town of Xujia and burned and robbed them. Villagers scattered and fled, killing and injuring countless people.
It is said that the dry roads are cut off, and only along the river can escape. Xu Zhiwen hurriedly informed his family that the boat he had built could be used by four people and would never overturn the boat.
At this time, the entire Xu family was left with only the Xu Zhiwen brothers and their four parents, plus an old dog, Ah Huang. Original author Hao Lijun.
They pulled the wooden boat to the river, and the four of them hurried to climb into the boat. The old dog also followed, and Xu Zhiwen carried the old dog to the boat.
The boat immediately swayed and crumbled, and the family was horrified. Xu Zhiwu was furious and kicked the old yellow dog off the boat. Xu Zhiwen saw the old dog fall into the water, and his heart was sad, so he jumped into the water and went to catch the old dog.
Xu Zhiwu's mother and son saw that there was one less person, and their hearts were overjoyed, and they immediately rowed and fled, where they still cared about Xu Zhiwen's life and death. Original author Hao Lijun.
Xu Zhiwen and the old yellow dog crawled out of the water and fled back to the Xu family mansion again in the confusion. Seeing that the Wokou burned and robbed, he made a clever move and hid in the pile of abandoned willow wood discarded when he was making a boat.
Wu Kou killed the Xu family and robbed them, but luckily did not find Xu Zhiwen and the old yellow dog behind the willow pile.
Soon, the officers and soldiers came to the aid, and the Wokou collapsed, and Xu Zhiwen dared to come out. Some of the villagers who fled returned home, and there was news that Xu Fugui and his wife and son were intercepted by Wukou on the water, killed and killed, and their bones were gone.
After the disaster, the Xu family's belongings were plundered, leaving only empty ruins and broken walls, and Xu Zhiwen and an old dog curled up together and relied on each other for their lives.
On this day, Xu Zhiwen was hungry and dizzy, and he was confused, when the old yellow dog suddenly bit his trouser leg, dragged him to a corner of the broken garden of his home, and scratched the ground with his front paws.
Xu Zhiwen's heart moved, and he hurriedly began to plan, planing to a depth of three feet, and suddenly saw a jar, opened the lid, and it was a golden treasure.
According to this, Xu Zhiwen revived the family business, and later married and had children and lived a happy life. Original author Hao Lijun.
