There is an old man Meng in Xuzhou, there are no children under his knees, his wife has passed away, he lives on two acres of thin land, he has an old cow at home, and the two acres of land at home rely on the old cow to plough the land, therefore, Meng Lao Weng cherishes this old cow very much, his body is still tough, and he often goes to the mountains to graze cattle.
One day he woke up in the morning, and according to his custom, he went to the cattle pen again to see the old cow, and this sight frightened him, and the old cow was gone, and immediately sat down on the ground, and his whole body was paralyzed, and he called out to his neighbors.
The neighbors hurried over when they heard the voice, and when they heard that the old cow was lost, they hurried to help find it.
But all the people outside the village were searched, but they were not found, and a villager who was herding sheep told the old man that he saw the scoundrel Bai Er in the village sneakily looking at an old cow and went straight to the market.
When Meng Laoweng heard this, he quickly got up and went to the market, and people followed behind to watch the excitement.
Not really, when he arrived at the market, he really saw Bai Er excitedly holding an old cow, it was his old cow, Meng Lao Weng trembled angrily and shouted loudly.
That Bai Er saw him staggering to catch up, whipped the old cow fiercely, and ran away with the cow, the old man was too old to catch up at all.
People are full of righteous indignation and discussion, but they all know that Bai Er is a scoundrel who often bullies the weak, because he is Li Zheng's cousin, he can't afford to offend, he dares to be angry and dare not speak, and he sighs endlessly.
I sympathized with Meng Laoweng very much, but I couldn't help him. had to help him up, helplessly watching Bai Er take the old cow away and sell it at the market.
Meng Lao Weng trembled angrily, old tears were in his eyes, and after he went back, he fell ill, and the kind villagers went to take care of him.
After recovering from his illness, the old man thought about his old cow, depressed, and saw that spring was about to start and he was going to plant, and the old man was very worried.
After a long time, the villager who took care of him no longer took care of him.
The old man is very lonely, his body is getting worse and worse, and he often sits at the door with a cane and looks into the distance. Trance.
The villagers who passed by spoke to him, and he also looked into the distance without turning a blind eye, and people thought that he was old and confused. Slowly, no one paid attention to him anymore.
The old man was even more lonely, he missed his partner the old cow very much, and he didn't know who Bai Er had sold it to, and he was very sad.
One night, a villager named Xu Er went to visit his sick relatives, and on the way back, it was getting late and the moon was as bright as day, so he hurriedly walked...... When passing by the door of the old man's house, he suddenly found that the old man was still sitting at the door, so late, this old man has not slept yet?
Xu Er sighed in his heart and went forward to greet him, but the old man didn't look at him and ignored him, Xu Er was a little displeased, and went back to tell his mother.
His mother was very sympathetic to the old man and asked him to bring some dry food made by himself tomorrow and send it to the old man, and Xu Liu agreed to come down.
The next day, Xu Er brought the dry food made by his mother to see it and was immediately stunned.
The old man is dead, and his body is rotting, and since he is dead, what did he see last night...... Xu Liu's face was so frightened that his face was ugly, his whole body trembled, his hand was loosened, and with a bang, the dry food fell to the ground, and he ran out.
When the villagers found out, they were all stunned and talked about him, since he had been dead for several days, what was the matter with the people when they saw him sitting at the door?
After a while, it was the day of the old man Sanqi, and some kind villagers burned some paper money for him, hoping that he would have a better life over there.
The scoundrel Bai Er gambled with the money he used to buy cattle, drank heavily, and soon squandered the money.
That night, he came back from a tavern drinking, drunk, and staggered down the road.
It's not big, it's almost home, he is drunk, he suddenly dizzy, and in a trance, he saw Meng Laoweng beckoning to him with a smile, and he couldn't help running over......
At this time, it happened that his friend saw it and was surprised.
Because he saw Bai Er walking towards the river, he shouted loudly to remind him, but it was too late, Bai Er entered the river, and soon disappeared.
When this man called for someone, he had already drowned, and the people salvaged him, and his family cried dead and alive, and tears rained down.
People talked about it, they were very happy, they thought it was very weird, he went well but jumped into the river, and they all said that this is evil and evil retribution, and it will be retributed.
His family had no choice but to bury him.
