The woman returned at night and was pulled into the jungle by a beggar halfway through
In the old East, there is a quiet village surrounded by mountains. Although this village is not large, it is full of fireworks in the world. The inhabitants of the village work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living a simple and simple life.
There is a woman named Ah Xiu in the village, she is hardworking and kind, and she is a well-known good daughter-in-law in the village. Ah Xiu's husband is a carpenter, skilled and often goes out to work, leaving Ah Xiu alone at home to take care of her elderly mother-in-law and a pair of children.
That evening, Ah Xiu went to the town to buy daily necessities as usual. Because the town's market was so lively, she didn't know it was late. By the time she was about to go home with a large bag of things, it was already dark.
Ah Xiu walked on the way home, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. Although she had walked this road countless times, the silence and darkness of the night always made her feel a little uneasy. She quickened her pace, wanting to get home as soon as possible.
Just then, she suddenly felt someone pull her sleeve from behind. Ah Xiu was shocked, and when she turned around, she saw a ragged beggar looking at her with pleading eyes.
"Good Samaritan, okay, give me something to eat. The beggar's voice was hoarse and trembling.
Ah Xiu's heart softened, she looked at the basket in her hand, there were still a few leftover steamed buns in it. She hesitated, then handed the steamed bun to the beggar.
"Take it, I just bought it, and it's still hot. Ah Xiu said.
The beggar was grateful and thanked him again and again. However, just as Ah Xiu turned around and was about to continue walking, the beggar suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Good Samaritan, you can't go this way. The beggar's voice suddenly became serious.
Ah Xiu was stunned by his words, and asked suspiciously, "Why? I have walked this road many times." ”
The beggar shook his head and said with a solemn face: "Tonight is different, there is danger on the road." You have to come with me, I know a safer way. ”
Ah Xiu looked at the beggar's serious expression, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fear in his heart. But she really didn't want to entangle with the beggar at this time, so she nodded and decided to follow him for the time being.
The beggar led Ah Xiu through a dense wooded area to a remote path. Although the trail is narrow, the trees on both sides are lush and green, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.
Ah Xiu followed behind the beggar and walked cautiously. She found that the beggar, though in rags, walked unusually steadily, as if he was very familiar with the road.
After walking for a while, Ah Xiu suddenly heard a strange sound. She paused and listened closely, and the sound seemed to come from deep in the woods.
"Don't talk, follow me. The beggar sensed Ah Xiu's nervousness and whispered.
Ah Xiu nodded, and followed closely behind the beggar. She noticed that the beggar's pace suddenly quickened considerably, as if he was hiding from something.
The two of them traveled all the way to an open place. There's an abandoned hut here, which is dilapidated, but it's much better than camping out in the wild.
The beggar took Ah Xiu into the hut and lit a bonfire. Under the light of the fire, Ah Xiu finally saw the beggar's face clearly. Although he was in rags, his face was very delicate, and his eyes showed a sense of perseverance and intelligence.
"Good Samaritan, you can rest here tonight. The beggar said, "I'll go out and see, and if those fellows are still wandering around, I'll come back and tell you." ”
Ah Xiu looked at the beggar gratefully and nodded. Her heart was full of doubts and curiosity, but she knew that now was not the time to ask. So she sat down in the hut and waited for the beggar's return.
As night fell, strange noises could be heard from time to time in the woods outside the hut. Ah Xiu was nervous, but she knew that she could only rely on beggars at this time. She clutched the basket in her hand and prayed that everything would be safe.
I don't know how long it took for the beggar to finally return. There was a hint of solemnity on his face, but there was a sparkle of determination in his eyes.
"Those people have left. The beggar said, "You can go home now." ”
Ah Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up and prepared to leave. However, the moment she stepped out of the hut, she suddenly turned back and asked, "What's your name, and how can I repay you?"
The beggar smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "I'm just a beggar, and I don't need anything in return." You just have to remember what happened tonight and don't talk about it to outsiders. ”
Ah Xiu looked at the back of the beggar, and his heart was full of gratitude and respect. She knew that she had met an unusual beggar today, and his appearance not only saved her life, but also gave her a deeper understanding of the world.
Ah Xiu set foot on the way home, and his heart was full of gratitude and happiness. She knows that from today onwards, she will face all the challenges in life with a kinder and braver heart.
And that beggar will also leave a deep imprint on Ah Xiu's heart and become an indispensable part of her life.
(End of first half)
When Ah Xiu returned home, it was already dawning. While her mother-in-law and children were still asleep, she walked into the house lightly, but her heart could not be calm for a long time.
The next day, when Ah Xiu met people in the village, she told them about the dangers she had encountered last night and the beggar who had saved her life. But to her surprise, the people in the village looked at each other after hearing this, as if they did not believe her experience.
"Ah Xiu, are you too tired to see it wrong?" an old woman kindly reminded.
"How could it be? I saw with my own eyes, the beggar saved me. Ah Xiu insisted.
However, no matter how she explained, the people in the village didn't seem to want to believe her words. Ah Xiu was puzzled, but he was helpless.
That night, Ah Xiu lay on the bed tossing and turning, her heart full of doubts. She decided to go to the beggar herself and ask for clarification.
Early the next morning, Ah Xiu came to the place where he met the beggar last night. However, she searched the woods and paths, but found no beggar.
Just as she was disappointed, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Good Samaritan, are you looking for me?"
Ah Xiu looked back and saw that it was the beggar. She ran up excitedly, took the beggar's hand, and said, "I have found you at last! Why did you save me? Who are you?"
The beggar looked at Ah Xiu's eager eyes, smiled slightly and said, "I'm just an ordinary beggar." As for why I want to save you, I can only say that it is fate. ”
Ah Xiu reluctantly asked, "Then how did you know that there was danger on the road last night?
The beggar was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "Actually, I am not from this village. I'm here in search of a lost treasure. ”
"Treasure?" Ah Xiu asked in surprise.
The beggar nodded and continued, "This treasure has magical powers that can protect the village from evil forces. But unfortunately, it was targeted by a group of greedy thieves. They have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the treasure, and last night was one of their operations. ”
Ah Xiu was dumbfounded when she heard this, she had never thought that this peaceful little village could hide such a secret.
"Have you found the treasure?" she asked curiously.
The beggar shook his head and sighed, "Not yet." But I believe that as long as I keep looking, I will find it one day. ”
Ah Xiu looked at the beggar's firm eyes, and his heart was full of respect. A question suddenly occurred to her: "Then why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I'll leak it?"
The beggar smiled and said, "I'm sure you're not that kind of person. Also, I hope you can help me find the treasure and protect the village. ”
After Ah Xiu heard this, a wave of pride surged in his heart. She nodded and said, "Okay! I'm willing to help you!"
Since then, Ah Xiu and the beggar have become good friends. Together, they search for clues to treasures and fend off thieves. In the process, Ah Xiu not only learned how to protect herself and her family, but also made many like-minded friends.
Eventually, with the combined efforts of Ah Xiu and the beggar, they managed to find the lost treasure and use it to defeat the evil thieves. The village has regained its former tranquility and harmony.
And Ah Xiu has also grown from an ordinary woman to a brave and wise heroine. Her story has been passed down in the village and has become a legend in the hearts of generations after generations.
Ah Xiu's friendship with the beggar grows, and the two work together to search the surrounding area of the village for clues to the treasure. Ah Xiu uses his ingenuity to help the beggar analyze various complex clues, and the beggar uses his experience and intuition to lead Ah Xiu to avoid crisis after crisis.
By chance, Ah Xiu learns from an elderly villager that the treasure may be related to an ancient ruin in the village. Located on the hill behind the village, the ruins are said to have been a place of worship for an ancient tribe, but over time it has been forgotten.
Ah Xiu and the beggar decide to go to the ruins to find out. They avoided the sight of the villagers and quietly came to the back mountain. Behind a dense forest, ancient stone pillars and ruins could be faintly seen.
The two of them cautiously made their way through the woods to the ruins. I saw a high altar in the center, and there seemed to be some pattern carved on it. Ah Xiu took a closer look and found that the pattern was actually a star map, and the center of the star map was pointing to a stone cave under the altar.
"It seems that the treasure is hidden in this cave. The beggar said excitedly.
Together, the two removed the stones from the altar, revealing the entrance to a black hole. They lit the torches and walked cautiously.
The stone cave was tortuous and deep, and the two walked for a long time, and finally came to a spacious cave hall. I saw that in the center of the cave hall, there was an ancient stone box, and the box was engraved with complex runes, exuding a faint light.
"This is the treasure!" said the beggar excitedly.
However, just as they were about to step forward to retrieve the treasure, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the entrance of the cave hall. Immediately after, a group of thieves armed with swords rushed in.
"So you're here!" said the leader of the thieves viciously, "hand over the treasure, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Ah Xiu and the beggar glanced at each other, knowing that they could only fight to the death at this time. They quickly drew their weapons and engaged the thieves in a fierce battle.
The battle was fierce, and although Ah Xiu and the beggars were extremely brave, the thieves were numerous, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage. At that moment, a dazzling light suddenly lit up on the walls of the cave hall, and immediately after, a powerful force poured out of the stone box, knocking the thieves back one after another.
It turns out that this treasure not only has the power to protect the village, but also helps the owner defend against foreign enemies at a critical moment. Ah Xiu and the beggar take the opportunity to pick up the weapons on the ground and continue to fight the thieves.
With the help of the treasure, Ah Xiu and the beggar finally defeated the thieves and defended the peace of the village. They put the treasure back into the crate and sealed the hole with stones to prevent it from being discovered by the greedy.
Upon returning to the village, Ah Xiu and the beggar told the villagers about the adventure. They thanked Ah Xiu and the beggars for their contribution to the village, and expressed their desire to cherish the peaceful life now.
Since then, Ah Xiu and the beggars have become the guardians of the village, and they use their bravery and wisdom to protect every living creature in this land. And their story has become a legend in the village through the ages.
