Some people say that Wang Ermao knew about this. After he blinded the cave-slayer's eyes with lime water, he went to his house and turned the cave-slayer's house upside down. I don't know if he found any treasures. Anyway,

Later Wang Ermao also died.

The convulsive kerosene lamp in the room reflected the swaying shadows of two puppets on the mottled earth wall. It was the light of the kerosene lamp that uglified their shadows. The fat one was Zhiqing, and the skinny one was Old Man Xia.

Zhong Kui, who was outside, kicked open the door, stepped into the room, and glared at Old Man Xia angrily.

Zhong Kui stared at Old Man Xia with anger on his face. The latter's psychological quality was unexpectedly good, and he was surprisingly calm when he was glared at.

Old Man Xia glanced at Zhong Kui at the door with his old eyes under the kerosene lamp. He moved his eyes slowly like an old cow, and smiled at the blooming lanterns of the kerosene lamp. He also said loudly: "Burst the lanterns,

We have guests."

Chen Zhiqing didn't understand why Old Man Xia was so happy when he saw the kerosene lamp exploding. He didn't understand, so he didn't strike up a conversation. He just spoke out to stop Zhong Kui's reckless behavior, got up and pulled him to the door, intending to let the child continue.

Watching from the outside, I allowed Old Man Xia to continue speaking, eager to hear the rest of the story from his mouth.

But at this moment, Old Man Xia moved his eyes away from the kerosene lamp and stared at Zhong Kui and said: "It doesn't hurt to let him listen. There is my old buddy outside. Although it is as old as me and useless, but

My ears are still very sensitive.”

The old buddy in Old Man Xia's mouth is the black dog that has been with him for most of his life.

Zhong Kui has also experienced the power of that dog, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is vigilant and ferocious.

Old man Xia said this, and Zhiqing couldn't keep pushing Zhong Kui away. Besides, he couldn't bear it. It wasn't because he was afraid of causing trouble because he deliberately scolded him, but it was just to get him to avoid it.

Following Zhiqing's suggestion, Zhong Kui closed the door first and then reluctantly sat down next to him.

After Zhong Kui's mood stabilized, Zhiqing suddenly asked: "Brother, what do you think of Zhong Hansheng?"

Hearing Zhiqing say Zhong Hansheng's name, Mr. Xia's old eyelids blinked hard several times under the kerosene lamp, and then his eyeballs flashed brightly. Zhiqing knew that as soon as his eyes glowed, the story was about to begin again...

After a short rest, Old Man Xia's thinking became clearer. He talked slowly and slowly, telling the story that was about to grow moldy and hairy in his heart.

Old Man Xia's memory was brought back more than ten years later. Zhong Hansheng was a man who was practical and quick-witted, and his brain was not very flexible. Whenever there was any activity in the village, he was the fastest runner.

Due to Zhong Hansheng's good performance, he was soon promoted to accountant by the village. Later he became the commander of the militia company, and was later promoted to the county as the armed minister.

At that time, a group of young educated youths came to the village, men and women, and they were arranged one by one in farmhouses for labor education. Zhong Hansheng was very enthusiastic about this group of educated youths, and especially took good care of one girl.

At that time, Zhong Hansheng was very popular, and those educated youths worshiped him with admiration.

When Old Man Xia told this, he paused for a few seconds, and then sighed: "This man! He was originally a good person, but the world has turned him into a bad person. But if you want to live a good life, you have to be like Zhong Hansheng, who is considerate of everything.

, only by going with the flow can you live a stable life."

Zhiqing laughed and said: "That's, that's..."

Zhong Kui, who was next to him, sneered at Old Man Xia's words. At this moment, his previous good impression of the old man seemed to have turned into anger. He was building it up in his heart, waiting for the opportunity to burst out.

Old Man Xia ignored Zhong Kui's emotion. He smacked his nose and eyes, opened his leaky mouth and continued...

There is a dilapidated temple in the village that has been in disrepair for a long time. In the past, this dilapidated temple was not a dilapidated temple, but a good temple that was full of incense and crowded with people. The world is like the weather, it changes at any time. There are activities coming from above, what?

The four cleans and the five cleans were to eliminate cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and it was strictly forbidden to believe in ghosts and gods. The first thing to suffer was the ruined temple. All the clay Buddhas in the ruined temple suffered. They were smashed and pushed. After half a month, one of them was fine.

The temples turned into devastated ruins.

Despite everything, some people still go to temples quietly to express their thoughts and expectations.

Old man Xia was also one of them. He often thought of his wife and quietly went to Po Mao to worship the statue of Zhong Kui.

That day he had just entered the ruined temple to worship the Clay Bodhisattva when he heard footsteps and weeping sounds coming from outside the ruined temple. Hearing that someone was coming, Old Man Xia became nervous and scared. He had to find a place to hide quickly, otherwise

The next day he would stand on a high platform, wearing a pointed hat and be scorned by others.

The clay Bodhisattva worshiped by the world covered Old Man Xia's trembling body, but could not block his ears.

Old Man Xia heard a man and woman coming in. The woman was crying and the man was whispering something. Then he heard the sound of clothes tearing, accompanied by the more subdued crying of the woman.

Old Man Xia didn't dare to look around or make any sound. He just squatted behind the Clay Bodhisattva quietly and listened to the whole process.

Zhong Kui and Zhi Qing, who were listening to the story, asked at the same time: "Who is the man?"

"I don't know. When there was no movement outside, I didn't see anyone when I came out. They were all gone. Alas! What a sin!"

The three people in the room once again fell into a brief silence. Only the kerosene lamp danced tirelessly with its strange light, constantly changing the figures of the three people.

Old Man Xia was thinking hard about whether there was anything he had missed in what he just said, and by the way, he thought about his wife and daughter.

Zhiqing fell into deep thought, thinking about the details of the old man's story and analyzing the highlights one by one.

Zhong Kui was secretly comparing the story told by Old Man Xia with what the woman he saw in the hospital said to him. How come their stories are so similar? Babies! Bastard men, educated youths... what do they have to do with him?

Old Man Xia coughed dryly, as if he was craving for cigarettes. While coughing, a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye.

Just as Zhiqing was about to get up and help him get his cigarette bag, a black dog suddenly barked crazily outside.

"Take a rest! There are distant guests outside, and there is rice in the pot." Old Man Xia didn't know whether he said it to Zhiqing in the room or to Zhong Kui. Anyway, neither of them understood what Old Man Xia meant by this.

The strange thing is that when Old Man Xia said these words, the barking sound of the black dog outside gradually faded away. It seemed that he had left the courtyard gate and ran to the river to bark as if he was chasing something.

Zhong Kui wanted to go out for a look, but was blocked by Old Man Xia.

Old Man Xia said to rest, so just rest!

Later, Zhong Kui understood that this sentence was originally said to the thief. "Far away guest" is a joking name for the thief. There is rice in the pot, which means there is someone at home. Are you so bold that you dare to come?

Zhong jokingly named the most despised line among the 360 ​​lines for those who are ignorant and lazy. The previous sentence should be a warning to the joking nature of this line!
