Li Laohan, in his old age, there is no one in the family except his old wife, and his son has not returned to the army so far, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead.
Without his son to retire, Li Laohan can only continue to run the family by himself.
In order to live a better life, Li Laohan went to cultivate land during the day, covering more than ten acres of land, and in the summer, he would go fishing at night.
Not far from the village, there is a small river with a lot of fish in it.
Only on the days of the full moon, the old man will go fishing, after all, if there is no light, it is really inconvenient, and it can barely be seen clearly by the moonlight.
This night, the old man took the fishing net to the river, the moon was cold, but because of the full moon, he could see it somewhat clearly.
Barefoot, after getting into the water, stood at the water's edge, grabbed the net and began to fish.
This is a technical job, the average person can't get it well, the old man is skilled, a net down, is preparing to close the net, from the side of a person came.
The old man did not pay the slightest attention, but the man spoke first: "This old brother! How do you come to fish at night? ”
Hearing the sound, the old man was stunned, but it was the first time he met someone while fishing at night.
Looking through the moonlight, I found that this person was a person dressed as a scholar, but there seemed to be water stains on his clothes, and there seemed to be water stains on his body.
The old man didn't think much about it, after all, it was summer, and it was normal to have water on the river.
When the man approached, the old man said, "Hey! Is there any way to do it! The only son went to the army, and his life and death are still uncertain, and he will always live! Cook the land during the day, catch some fish at night, and get some money to get by."
When shusheng heard this, he also sighed, "Yes! The world is difficult, how good it is to be alive! ”
Shusheng then looked at the fishing net and smiled, "I've never caught a fish, so let me help!" ”
Saying that, he reached out and grabbed the fishing net and helped the old man collect the net.
At this moment, the old man looked down and just saw the foot of the student, and as a result, the old man's face instantly became pale.
Because there was no shadow under the student's feet.
Without much thought, the student pulled the fishing net and began to exert force.
With the cooperation of the two, the fishing net was pulled up, and more than a dozen large fish were hung on the fishing net.
The old man was not at all happy, and his body was actually a little stiff.
The student did not notice the slightest, but seemed to be extremely happy, and got all the fish from the net and put it in the fish basket.
The fish basket was almost full, and the old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you!" ”
The scholar listened and smiled, "It's not easy to live, if you can help, you can help!" ”
When the old man heard this, his heart moved and he said, "Go! Go with me for two drinks! ”
When shusheng heard this, he laughed, pointed to his feet, and said, "You are not afraid of me?" ”
When the old man heard this, he knew that he had not concealed this person, so he said, "A good person, even if he dies, is a good person, and I am not afraid." ”
Shusheng listened, nodded, and said, "No need! I can't walk away! Tomorrow I'll be gone, and there will be no end to it! ”
After saying this, the scholar actually walked into the river, and after a moment, he disappeared.
The old man looked at this scene, felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and went home after a moment.
When I got to the house, the old wife said, "I forgot to tell you something today, saying that during the day, a scholar drowned, so you have to be careful!" ”
The old man nodded.
The next day, the old man bought a pot of wine, went to the shore, and said, "Scholar! Brother please drink! ”
With that, he poured the wine into the river.
A fish swam over, as if drinking, and after a moment, disappeared.
Since then, the old man has come here to fish, and every time he returns with a full load, the old man often buys some drinks and pours them into the river.
