This is a story that takes place in a rural village in Henan Province, and the protagonist is a father and his son.
His father's name was Wang Laohan, and he was an ordinary farmer who farmed his land and raised cattle at home. He has a son named Wang Xiaoming, who is ten years old and is in elementary school. The family of three lived in a humble adobe house, and life was very difficult.
Wang Xiaoming has been very intelligent and studious since he was a child, he likes to read and thirst for knowledge. His dream is to be able to go to university and change the fate of himself and his family. But his family was in poor condition and had no extra money to buy books and pay for school fees. He can only satisfy his thirst for knowledge with free textbooks distributed by the school and old books borrowed from the library.
Wang Laohan loves his son very much, hopes that he can realize his dreams, and provides him with some support and encouragement. He buys his son new books every year and asks him to study more and work less at home. He also often takes his son to walk in the nearby mountains to expose his son to nature and broaden his horizons.
Although Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaoming have a difficult life, they care for each other, support each other, and live a dull and warm life.
However, one summer in 2019, an accident changed their fate.
On that day, Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaoming went for a walk in the mountains as always. They walked along the mountain road, the scenery is beautiful, but the road is also dangerous. They walked up a hillside and saw a strange scene.
On the hillside, there is a large pit with a weasel in the pit. The weasel was trapped in the pit and could not climb out on its own. It kept shouting, trying to get the attention of people or animals outside. But no one paid attention to it, only a few crows waited for it to die by the pit.
Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaoming saw this scene and stopped. Wang Lao Han is disgusted with the weasel, feels that it is an evil and dangerous animal, and wants to get out of here. But Wang Xiaoming is curious about the weasel, feels that it is a pitiful and innocent animal, and wants to save it.
Wang Xiaoming said to his father: "Dad, can we save it?" It's so pathetic, it's also a life. ”
Wang Lao Han said to his son: "Son, don't be stupid, this is a weasel, it is a fierce and greedy animal, it will bite." Let's leave it alone and let's go. ”
Wang Xiaoming said to his father: "Dad, I know it will bite, but it is trapped in the pit now, and there is no way to hurt us." If we don't save it, it's going to die here. If we save it, it may appreciate us and stop hurting others. Dad, please agree. ”
Wang Lao Han looked at his son's eyes and felt a little shaken. He felt that what his son said also made sense, and embodyed a kind and sympathetic attitude. After thinking about it, he agreed to his son's request and said, "Well, since you think so, let's save it once." But remember, this is just a weasel, not your friend. Don't have any expectations or illusions about it, let alone get close to it or touch it. Do you understand? ”
Wang Xiaoming nodded happily and said, "I see, Dad." Thank you. ”
Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaoming began the rescue operation. They found a long stick, inserted one end into the pit, and let the weasel grab the other end. Then they pulled up hard and pulled the weasel out of the pit.
When the weasels were free, they did not immediately run away or attack them. It just stood there dumbfounded, looking at them. Its eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude, and it let out a low, gentle cry to them.
Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaoming both felt a burst of surprise and stopped moving. They thought the weasel was strange and not as vicious and greedy as the legend suggested. They were even a little curious and wanted to see more of it.
Just then, something incredible happened. The weasel suddenly jumped up from the ground and pounced on them. It opened its bloody mouth and exposed its sharp teeth. It let out a shrill and terrifying cry and tried to bite them.
Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaoming were frightened and quickly took a step back. They looked at the weasel in horror and felt regret and anger. They feel too stupid and naïve, and are deceived and retaliated by weasels.
At the moment when they were about to be bitten by a weasel, they heard a gunshot and saw a flash of fire. The weasel was shot in the head and fell to the ground. It let out a scream and stopped breathing forever.
Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaoming turned their heads and saw a familiar figure. It was their neighbor, and it was also a hunter, named Li Laosi. Li Laosi held a shotgun in his hand and walked towards them. With concern and anger on his face, he turned to them and said, "Are you all right? This weasel is so abominable that it wants to bite you. Thankfully, I found it in time and gave it a shot. You guys hurry up, it's not safe here. ”
Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaoming felt a burst of happiness and gratitude, and said to Li Laosi: "Thank you, Li Laosi." You saved our lives. We're okay, just a little freaked out. Let's go right away. ”
Li Laosi nodded and said, "You're welcome, we are neighbors, and we should help each other." Let's go, I'll also dispose of this weasel's carcass." ”
Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaoming followed Li Laosi down the hill and returned to their home. They told their wives and mothers what had happened and told them not to worry. They felt that they had really escaped today and thanked God for His blessing.
But they don't know that this is just the beginning, and more surprises and miracles await them.
The next morning, after Wang Xiaoming got up, he found that something was wrong with his body. He felt dizzy, his stomach aching, and his mouth dry. He thought he was sick from yesterday's shock and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I'm not feeling well, I can't go to school." ”
Wang Lao Han and his wife looked at their son's appearance, felt very worried, and said to him: "Son, what's wrong with you?" Where are you uncomfortable? Would you like to visit the hospital? ”
Wang Xiaoming shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just feel dizzy and my stomach hurts and my mouth is dry." I don't want to go to the hospital, I want to rest at home. ”
Wang Laohan and his wife thought their son might have a cold or indigestion, and took his temperature and pulse. They found that their son did not have a fever or abnormal heartbeat, and comforted him: "Son, you may have been stimulated yesterday and caused some disorder in your body." You don't have to worry, you have a good day of rest at home, drink some water and take some medicine, and tomorrow will be fine. ”
Wang Xiaoming listened to his parents' words, nodded, and lay on the bed. He felt bad and wished he could get better soon.
Wang Laohan and his wife cooked some porridge and soup for their son and gave him some medicine. They feel that their son is just a little ill and don't worry too much. They let their son rest at home and went to his field.
But they did not know that their son's condition was not improving, but getting worse. The son's head became more and more dizzy, his stomach hurt more and more, and his mouth became more and more dry. He even began to have hallucinations and delusions, and said some incredible things.
He saw his room turn into a forest and heard some animal calls. He felt like a weasel and wanted to find food and mate. He let out a low, gentle cry into the air and said, "I'm a weasel, and I'm going to find my mate." ”
At this moment, he heard someone knocking outside the door and said, "Xiaoming, are you at home?" I'm Li Laosi, I'll take a look at you. ”
When Wang Xiaoming heard this voice, he felt a pang of fear and hatred. He thinks Li Laosi is an enemy and wants to kill him. He let out a shrill and terrifying cry out the door and said, "You're a bad guy, you're going to kill me." I'm going to bite you to death. ”
