The carpenter returned home, rescued a red-haired mouse on the way, and the family was no longer short of rice and noodles
Once upon a time, in an old and quiet mountain village, there lived a carpenter named Carpenter Lee. He is skilled and kind, and is deeply loved by the villagers. However, Carpenter Li's family was poor and often worried about three meals a day. Despite this, he always maintained an optimistic attitude, believing that as long as he worked hard, he would one day live a good life.
One evening, Carpenter Li finished the carpentry work of a family and set out on the way home with a toolbox on his back. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the mountain paths, reflecting a golden yellow. Carpenter Li was walking when he suddenly heard a faint wail. He followed the sound and saw a red-haired mouse curled up in the grass by the side of the road, shivering.
Carpenter Li felt pity and squatted down to take a closer look. He noticed that the red-haired rat appeared to be injured on its hind legs and was unable to walk. He gently picked up the rat and put it in his pocket. He thought, "This mouse is small, but it's also a life." I can't die without help. ”
After returning home, Carpenter Li cleaned the wound of the red-haired mouse and found herbs to apply it. He also prepared some food and water for the rats. Under the careful care of Carpenter Li, the red-haired rat's injuries gradually improved. It seemed to be full of gratitude to Carpenter Lee, and often circled around him, making him laugh.
As the days passed, the red-haired rat had fully recovered from his injuries. However, it did not leave Carpenter Lee's home, but became his faithful companion. Every day, when Carpenter Li was busy in the yard, the red-haired rat would always jump and frolic around him, bringing endless fun to his life.
One night, Carpenter Lee was resting at home. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound coming from the kitchen. Curious, he walked over to check, only to see the red-haired mouse standing in front of the stove with a cloth bag in his mouth. The cloth bag was filled with white rice and golden noodles.
Carpenter Li looked at the red-haired mouse in surprise, his heart full of doubts. He thought, "Where did this rat get so much rice and noodles?" However, he didn't ask too much questions, and just silently accepted them. From then on, whenever the family was short of food, the red-haired mouse would always appear mysteriously and bring a full load of rice and noodles to Carpenter Li.
Gradually, the life of Carpenter Lee's family became better and better. He no longer worries about three meals a day, but has surplus food to distribute to poor households in the village. The villagers were full of praise for Carpenter Li's generosity and kindness, and praised him as a good man with good fortune.
However, Carpenter Li always had a question in his mind: where did the red-haired rat get so much rice and noodles?
One night, when the moonlight was like water, Carpenter Li quietly followed behind the red-haired mouse. It passed through the village and came to an abandoned temple at the foot of the mountain. The temple is dilapidated, but its former glory can still be seen. The red-haired mouse jumped lightly onto the temple gate and disappeared into the darkness.
Carpenter Li cautiously approached the temple, for fear of alarming something inside. He quietly pushed open the door and stepped inside. I saw that the temple was dim and dark, and there was a mysterious atmosphere in the air. He followed the trail of the red-haired mouse and came to a remote corner.
There, he was surprised to find a huge granary. The granary is filled with rice and noodles, as if it is an endless treasure. And the red-haired mouse was standing by the granary, using its little paws to pack the grain into a cloth bag.
Carpenter Li suddenly realized that the red-haired mouse got his food from here. His heart was filled with gratitude, and he said to the red-haired mouse, "Thank you, my good companion. It was you who made me live a good life, and also made me understand the truth that good is rewarded. ”
Since then, the relationship between Carpenter Li and the red-haired mouse has become even deeper. They shared the joys and sorrows of life together and spent many good times together. And the red-haired mouse has also become a legend in the village, making people full of curiosity and awe about it.
However, the good times were short-lived. One day, a greedy rich man heard about the miraculous deeds of the red-haired mouse, and became greedy and wanted to take it for himself. He sent a group of his men to surround Carpenter Li's house at night, trying to forcibly take away the red-haired mouse.
Carpenter Lee defended his companion to the death and engaged in a fierce struggle with the rich man's men. However, after all, he was weak and was quickly knocked to the ground. At the critical moment, the red-haired mouse stepped forward and swung a golden light with its little claws. In the flash of golden light, the rich man's men fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the rich man was frightened and hurriedly fled the scene with his men. And the red-haired rat also consumed a lot of divine power in this battle and became weak.
Carpenter Li looked at the red-haired mouse distressedly and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me, my good partner." I will always guard you and not let you be harmed in any way. ”
The red-haired mouse seemed to understand Carpenter Li's words, rubbed his cheek gently, and then lay quietly in his arms. Since then, the red-haired mouse has never left Carpenter Li's side, and they have spent many peaceful and happy times together.
I have learned a profound lesson that kindness and honesty are the most valuable assets in life.
Time flies, and the story of Carpenter Li and the red-haired mouse has become a good story in the village. Their deeds inspire the villagers to uphold kindness, help each other, and create a harmonious and beautiful home together. And the red-haired mouse is also known as the "lucky rat" by the villagers because of its magical power and kind heart, and has become the guardian saint of the village.
One day, the village was hit by a rare drought. The fields are cracked, the crops are withered, and the villagers are in a difficult situation. Carpenter Li looked at everyone's sad faces, and his heart was very anxious. He thought of the red-haired rat and hoped that it could once again exert its divine powers and help everyone get through the difficult time.
However, the red-haired rat has become very weak because of the many times he has used his divine powers. It lay in Carpenter Lee's arms, panting feebly. Carpenter Li looked at it, his heart full of guilt and helplessness. He knew that he couldn't always rely on the power of the red-haired mouse, but should find a way to solve the problem on his own.
So, Carpenter Li began to run around looking for a solution to the drought. He consulted the elders in the village, asked for help from friends from afar, and even went up the mountain himself to find water. With his tireless efforts, a hidden stream was finally discovered. He led the villagers in building canals to divert water from the streams to the fields.
With the irrigation of the stream, the fields gradually came back to life and the crops began to thrive. The villagers saw hope and had a smile on their faces that they had not seen for a long time. They looked at Carpenter Li gratefully and praised him as the savior of the village.
And the red-haired mouse was also carefully cared for by Carpenter Li, and gradually recovered his vitality. It looked at the busy and happy carpenter Li and the villagers, and his heart was full of relief and joy. It understands that true strength lies not in miraculous divine powers, but in the goodness and courage of people's hearts.
From then on, Carpenter Li and the red-haired mouse continued to live a peaceful and happy life. Together, they guard the peace and harmony of the village, and witness the laughter and growth of the villagers. And their stories have become eternal legends, inspiring future generations to uphold kindness, bravely face difficulties, and create a better future.

As a result, the village gradually prospered, and the villagers opened homestays, sold local products, and lived a more and more prosperous life. Carpenter Li also opened a small carpentry workshop, using his exquisite craftsmanship to make a variety of exquisite woodworking products, which are very popular with tourists.
However, just when the village was thriving, a sudden flash flood shattered the peaceful and beautiful life. The flood swept like a beast, washing away houses, flooding fields, and plunging entire villages into a sea of water.
Faced with this disaster, the villagers panicked and did not know what to do. Carpenter Li was also anxious, he knew that this time he could no longer rely on the strength of the red-haired mouse, and he had to rely on the unity and wisdom of himself and the villagers to survive this crisis.
So, he stepped forward and organized the villagers to save themselves. They used wood and cloth to build improvised shelters, and ropes and boats were used to move trapped villagers to safety. With the joint efforts of everyone, the damage to the village was kept to a minimum.
In the process of flood fighting and disaster relief, the red-haired rat was not idle. It shuttled through the flood and used its magical powers to save many trapped villagers and animals. Its figure loomed in the flood as if it were a ray of hope, bringing endless courage and strength to the villagers.
Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, the flood waters receded and the village gradually returned to its former tranquility and beauty.
