Cunning old yellow dog

There is a family surnamed Wang in Hexi Village, Wangjiazhuang, Fei County, who lives in the east of the village, and people call him Old Man Wang. Just a few days ago, after the marriage of his son, the cropper would plan to live a life, thinking about the remaining dishes, he was reluctant to eat, and he used things to help, so he invited a carpenter to do work, and set up some benches, square tables and other small furniture.

Recently, Old Man Wang found that the meat hanging in the basket was used up in addition to stir-frying, and it was less, looking very conspicuous, and found that there were shoe prints on the shoes of the new daughter-in-law, thinking that my new daughter-in-law who had just passed through the door was very hungry, and also stole the meat in the basket to eat, so he told his wife about this matter, and the wife was ready to tell his son that he would discipline his daughter-in-law.

Not wanting this matter to let the carpenter know, the carpenter explained to Old Man Wang that you can't blame your daughter-in-law for this, and then told Old Man Wang what he saw. It turned out that Old Man Wang had raised a yellow dog, and this dog had been in the Wang family for more than ten years, which was an old dog. But the dog was restless, and when the family members were working in the fields, he arched the door of the East Wing, put on the shoes of the new daughter-in-law, came to the West Wing, and then moved a stool to stand on the top, grabbed the basket to steal meat to eat, and after finishing the matter, he stepped backwards, put the shoes back in the East Wing, successfully married the new daughter-in-law, let others pass the shoe prints, and mistakenly thought that she had done it, but all this was seen by the carpenter. He truthfully told Old Man Wang the whole process.

The old yellow dog who said these words was gone, and he knew that his secret had been denounced by the carpenter, and he had a grudge in his heart. Run ahead of time to the woods in the middle of the road, where there is a road, where the carpenter must pass when he returns home, and he calculates revenge on the carpenter, so he sets up an ambush here, digs a pit, prepares the carpenter to walk through here, jumps up, bites the carpenter and buries himself in the pit he has dug in advance.

After dinner, the carpenter resigned and went home, and Old Man Wang enthusiastically sent him away before he reluctantly returned home.

The carpenter walked on the road, thinking about what happened during the day, and did not see the yellow dog all afternoon, and he had a number in his heart. This time he came home with a large shovel in case of an accident on the road.

The carpenter observes the terrain ahead as he walks and speculates about what might have happened.

Almost in the middle of the forest, the carpenter became alert, and the large hammer in his hand clenched even tighter, and just then the carpenter saw a black shadow leap out of the side of the tree and go straight to the carpenter's throat. It was too late, it was fast, the carpenter saw the black shadow swooping over, his heart was already on guard, a setback flashed to the side, the black shadow flew into the air, and before it could react, the carpenter used all his strength to slash at the black shadow's neck with a large hammer, and the black shadow cried out, and fell down, just rolling down into the pit he had dug.

The carpenter was sure that it was the old yellow dog, and when he saw that it was out of breath and dead, he went home without hurrying.
