Wujia Village is a village at the foot of the mountain, and at the west end of the village lives a family of three people, a husband and wife and a daughter. The husband's name is Wu Dashan, his wife's name is Li Mei'er, and his daughter's name is Wu Xing'er.
One year, there was war. Shortly after the war, a group of bandits appeared on the mountain. To say that this group of bandits is really doing no evil. Since the emergence of bandits on the mountain, the people in Wujia Village have left Wujia Village one after another and gone out to flee.
One night, Li Mei'er said to Wu Dashan: "Dashan, many people in the village are now going out to flee, or we should also go out and flee!" After listening to Li Mei'er's words, Wu Dashan said: "Now there are wars everywhere outside, and it is not safe to go out and flee, so it is better to stay in the village." Li Mei'er said: "What if one day bandits enter the village?" Wu Dashan thought for a moment and then said, "I have a way." ”
The next morning, Wu Dashan made a soft ladder made of thick bamboo and rope. After Wu Dashan made the soft ladder, he carried the soft ladder on his body and then came to a thousand-year-old tree behind his home. This thousand-year-old tree is very thick and requires 6 people to hug it together. After a few moments, Wu Dashan began to climb the tree. After climbing to the tree, he tied the soft ladder to a thick tree segment. After he tied up the soft ladder, he put the soft ladder down and then went down the soft ladder to the ground.
After Wu Dashan returned home, he called Li Mei'er and Wu Xing'er to the bottom of the millennium tree, and then pointed to the soft ladder and said to them: "In the future, if bandits enter the village, we will climb along the soft ladder to the big tree, and in the afternoon I will catch a few snakes." Li Mei'er asked Wu Dashan incomprehensibly, "What are you doing with how many snakes you catch?" Wu Dashan said, "When the time comes, you will know." ”
One noon 10 days later, Wu Dashan and Li Mei'er Wu Xing'er were having lunch at home when suddenly there were chaotic footsteps in the village. Wu Dashan said: "The bandits have entered the village, and we have hurried up to the tree." After Wu Dashan took Li Mei'er and Wu Xing'er to the bottom of the millennium tree, Wu Xing'er was the first to go up to the tree. After she went up the tree, it was Li Mei'er who went up the tree. After Li Mei'er went up to the tree, Wu Dashan carried a small bamboo cage on his back, and then also went up the tree. After Wu Dashan tree, the soft ladder was received from the tree.
Not long after, a group of bandits came to the bottom of the millennium tree. One of the bandits said, "Will there be villagers hiding in a tree?" Unexpectedly, as soon as the bandit's voice fell, several snakes fell from the tree. It turned out that the few snakes that fell down were thrown down by Wu Dashan on a big tree, and the small bamboo cage contained several snakes. The bandits saw a few snakes falling from the tree and thought that there would be no Tibetans in the tree, so they looked at the snakes on the ground and left. However, after the time of the little half-pillar incense, three more bandits came to the bottom of the tree, and the three bandits looked at the tree, and then shot arrows at the tree, and one of the arrows almost hit Wu Dashan's head. After the three bandits had finished shooting their arrows, they turned and left.
When it was almost evening, Wu Dashan and Li Mei'er Wu Xing'er came down from the big tree, and after they got off the big tree, Li Mei'er said to Wu Dashan: "Big mountain, I don't think it is safe to hide in the big tree, you see the arrow just now, it almost hit your head." Wu Dashan thought for a moment and then said, "In the future, we will not hide in the big tree." Li Mei'er said: "If we don't hide in the tree, where are we hiding?" Wu Dashan said, "After that, we will hide in the cave." ”
The next morning, Wu Dashan took Li Mei'er and Wu Xing'er and began to dig holes in the backyard. As a result, they dug for half a month and dug a hole in the ground that led to the hillside behind their home. Three days after they had dug the hole, the bandits entered the village. After the bandits entered the village, they hurried into the cave, and then from the cave to the hillside behind their home, and then they hid in the grass on the hillside to observe the movement in the village. When they found the bandits leaving the village, they returned home from the hillside. Since then, as soon as the bandits enter the village, they will enter the cavern.
One afternoon, a young man suddenly came from the village. The young man was probably hungry, and when he walked to the door of Wu Dashan's house, he fell to the ground. Wu Xing'er was the first to find the young man, and when she saw the young man fall to the ground, she cried out. After Wu Dashan and Li Mei'er heard her cry, they didn't know what happened? Hurry up and run over. They ran over and helped the boy into the house. The young man said weakly, "I'm hungry." Wu Xing'er quickly ran into the kitchen, and then ran back with two pieces of bread. She handed the bread to the young man and said, "Eat it!" "After the young man took the bread, he devoured it.
After the young man finished eating the bread, Wu Dashan asked the young man where he was from? How did you get here? The young man told Wu Dashan that he was from the provincial city, and because the rebels had invaded the provincial city, he escaped from the provincial city and then wandered everywhere. After listening to the young man's words, Wu Dashan said: "Now that the soldiers are in chaos outside, you don't want to wander around, just live in my house!" The young man thought about it after listening to Wu Dashan's words, and then said, "Well, I live in your house." "Since then, the young man has lived in Wu Dashan's house.
Time passed, and before I knew it, three years had passed, and the year the war was over. After the war, 12 villagers returned to the village, and the others who did not return to the village were estimated to have died in the escape. One day, the young man suddenly said to Wu Dashan: "Uncle Dashan, I want to go back to the provincial city, maybe my father and mother have returned to the provincial city." Wu Dashan said, "If you want to go back, go back!" If you want to come back later, you can always come back. "The next morning, the young man left Wujia Village.
A month later, a carriage stopped in front of Wu Dashan's house, and three people got out of the carriage, one was a young man, the other two were middle-aged, one was a middle-aged man, and the other was a middle-aged woman. It turned out that the middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman were the parents of the lad. After the young man's parents saw Wu Dashan and Li Mei'er Wu Xing'er, they thanked them. In the end, the boy's parents gave Wu Dashan 5,000 taels of silver. At first, Wu Dashan refused to collect money, but later, under the repeated persuasion of the young man's parents, he reluctantly accepted 5,000 taels of silver.
After the young man and his parents left, Li Mei'er asked Wu Dashan: "Dashan, how to spend this 5,000 taels of silver?" Wu Dashan said: "I want to buy a big house in the town." Wu Dashan's voice just fell, and Li Mei'er and Wu Xing'er both agreed. Soon, Wu Dashan really went to the town to buy a big mansion, and then lived in the town with Li Mei'er Wang Xing'er.
