It is said that one day, the whole brother slipped into a remote village, just in time for the sun to go down, and the sky was dyed with an orange sunset, which was so beautiful that people were intoxicated.
Under the old willow tree at the head of the village, a little hedgehog was scurrying around in a panic, looking at the posture, there must be something terrible chasing after him.
Brother Quan is kind-hearted, and when he saw this situation, he quickly put the goods down and walked over lightly, for fear of scaring this little thing.
When I saw the little hedgehog, I trembled all over, and my eyes were full of fear, obviously in big trouble. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll help you." The whole brother whispered softly, carefully took a piece of cloth and wrapped the little hedgehog, and stuffed it into his clothes.
Strange to say, the little hedgehog seemed to be able to understand human speech, and the whole brother's clothes slowly quieted down, and he showed his little head and looked around curiously.
After solving the crisis of the little hedgehog, the whole brother wanted to continue on his journey, but he faintly heard a low roar not far away, and the crackling sound of a tree being hit.
His heart tightened, and he thought, no, this eighty percent is a beast in the mountains.
Brother Quan didn't dare to stay longer, so he quickly picked up the load of goods, sped up his pace and left the area.
When it got dark, the whole brother found a broken temple to rest, and built a fire to warm his body and drive away the cold.
At this time, the little hedgehog poked his head out of his clothes and circled the fire a few times, and it was really cute.
Brother Quan happily touched its head and said, "Little one, are you hungry too?"
But I don't have anything you can eat in this bag. The little hedgehog seemed to understand, and gently rubbed his brother's hand with his nose, as if to express his gratitude.
It was late at night, and the whole brother slowly fell asleep.
In the dream, he saw that the little hedgehog had turned into a human form, a handsome young man in green clothes and holding a long sword, standing in front of him with a very serious expression. "Eun Gong, thank you for saving me today.
I am a little demon cultivating in this mountain, and I accidentally showed my demonic aura and attracted the evil tiger in the mountain.
Tomorrow morning, you must throw away the load of goods and leave here quickly, because it may be life-threatening if you are late. With that, the boy turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the night.
The whole brother woke up suddenly, thinking about the scene in the dream, although he knew that it was a dream, he couldn't help but be a little scared.
But after thinking about it, what catastrophe can happen to me as an ordinary person?
Shaking his head, he was going to continue sleeping.
But the words in the dream, like a thorn, pierced his heart, making him toss and turn, and he couldn't sleep.
As soon as the sky was bright, the whole brother was busy, packed his luggage, and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, his heart went up and down, and finally his heart was crossed, and after listening to the words of the boy in the dream, he left the heavy load of goods in the ruined temple, only brought some dry food and water bottles, and set out on the way home.
Just a few steps away, I heard a loud bang behind me, and when I looked back, the smoke and dust were billowing from the ruined temple, as if there was a big monster turning over the river and the sea.
Brother Quan's heart tightened, and he was secretly glad to have listened to the words of the young man in his dream, and quickly quickened his pace.
Along the way, the whole brother had mixed feelings in his heart, not only the luck of escaping, but also the gratitude and curiosity of the mysterious little hedgehog.
He began to feel that everything in this world has spirituality, and even the most inconspicuous little life may hide big secrets.
After walking for a few days and nights, Quan Ge finally returned to the familiar town.
When the old and young masters in the town saw him coming back, they all gathered around him, and kept asking questions, especially when they heard that he threw away the goods, and their eyes were as wide as copper bells.
Brother Quan, half-truthfully told them about this adventure, of course, he didn't dare to say anything about the goblin, only said that he met a master who gave him the guidance, so he escaped a catastrophe.
Everyone listened with relish, some said that it was a fairy apparition, some said that it was the blessing of the ancestors, anyway, there was everything, and it was very lively.
Brother Quan knew in his heart that no one would believe this matter, so he simply made it a mystery, hiding it in his heart, and occasionally in the dead of night, it was quite interesting to take it out and reminisce.
As the days passed, the whole brother still carried his load of goods, walked the streets and alleys, and the shouting was still loud, but he felt more calm and calm in his heart.
He no longer thinks about making more money like before, but begins to pay attention to the people and things around him, and always does not hesitate to lend a helping hand when he encounters someone in need.
The people in the town said that the whole brother had changed and become more humane.
"Little one, why are you coming to me again?" The whole brother said happily, stuffed the little hedgehog into his pocket, and planned to take it home and raise it well.
Since then, there has been a little friend around Brother Quan who can't speak, although it is silent, but it can always use its unique way to bring a lot of happiness and comfort to Brother Quan.
Brother Quan is still that warm-hearted, and continues to be on the road of the merchant, writing his own legend.
Brother Quan took the little hedgehog home, found him a warm nest, and bought some dried fruits and insects from the town, for fear that the little guy would be hungry.
When the neighbors saw it, they all teased him: "Brother Quan, what kind of baby do you have?" Brother Quan smiled and said, "This is my little lucky star, which can bring me good luck!" "As the days passed, the little hedgehog grew fat under the care of his brother, which was particularly attractive.
My brother's life has also been a lot more fun because of the arrival of the little hedgehog.
He often spoke to the little hedgehog in the dead of night, telling about his experience as a merchant, about the strange people he encountered, and about his vision and plan for the future.
Although the little hedgehog didn't respond, his little black eyes always stared at Brother Quan seriously, as if he could really understand.
In the blink of an eye, it's time for winter to turn to spring.
On this day, as usual, the whole brother was carrying the load and preparing to go out.
Before leaving, he habitually looked at the little hedgehog and found that it was particularly excited today, constantly circling his feet and rubbing his hands with his nose from time to time.
Brother Quan wondered in his heart, what's wrong with this little guy today?
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Brother Quan opened the door and saw that it was the old Liu Tou in the town, who was sweating profusely, panting and saying: "Brother Quan, it's not good, the bridge in our town has collapsed, and someone is trapped on the other side of the river!" When the whole brother heard this, his heart tightened, he knew that the bridge was the only way for the people in the town to travel, and once it collapsed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Without saying a word, he threw down the load and rushed out, turning back to the little hedgehog as he ran, and said, "Little one, you watch the door at home, and I will be back soon." "Oh, this is really not a cover, as soon as the whole brother arrived at the river, he found that the situation was even worse than he thought.
The river, because of the endless spring rains, rose like something, and where the bridge was broken, there was a big whirlpool, and from time to time there were planks and stones that were swept in.
The children and the elderly on the other side of the river were in a hurry, shouting for help.
The whole brother looked around, where was the boat, and the urgency in his heart was like an ant on a hot pot.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the unusual behavior of the little hedgehog, and an impulse surged in his heart.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them abruptly and shouted into the river, "Little hedgehog, if you can understand me, help me!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a slight noise on the surface of the river.
Brother Quan looked at it, and a huge water beast poked its head out of the river, its eyes flashing with a strange light, and it was staring at Brother Quan quietly.
Brother Quan was shocked, but then calmed down again.
He remembered the experience of saving the little hedgehog, and felt that it might be some kind of mysterious fate that was playing tricks.
He boldly walked to the river and said to the water beast, "I know that you may be friends with the little hedgehog, or its guardian."
Now my folks are in danger, and I beg you for help. The water beast seemed to understand Quan's words, nodded, and then turned around and used its massive body to build a makeshift bridge over the river.
Seeing this, Brother Quan hurriedly beckoned the villagers on the shore to come over.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the trapped children and the elderly were finally rescued safely to the other side.
Afterwards, the people in the town said that Brother Quan was a fairy who could summon water beasts to save people.
Brother Quan just smiled when he heard this, and he knew in his heart that all this credit should be attributed to the mysterious little hedgehog and his friend the water beast.
Since then, Quan Ge has cherished the fate with the little hedgehog even more.
He often went out with the little hedgehog, walked the streets and alleys, shouting his goods.
And whenever night falls, they will sit together in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, sharing each other's secrets and dreams.
