In the 39th capital of Chongren, Fuzhou Prefecture, there is a large mountain. This mountain is different from other mountains. There are almost no big trees and no grass on it. It is so bare that it can be regarded as "no grass grows".

In the 39th capital of Chongren, Fuzhou Prefecture, there is a big mountain. This mountain is different from other mountains. There are almost no big trees and no grass on it. It is so bare that it can be regarded as "no grass grows".

Some people thought it was strange, so they went to the mountain to see it. After the rain, a small hole was washed away by water in a place on the mountain. When the man saw it, he saw that the hole was not filled with stones of other colors, but black stones. His curiosity suddenly aroused, he took a look, pinched the black stones with his hands and smelled them, and he suddenly understood: these were coal!

Coal can be used to make fires for heating and cooking, and can also be sold. It is a treasure.

This man was silent at first. He would go to the mountains every now and then to dig some coal. After transporting it home, he burned part of it himself and found someone to sell part of it. Soon he became rich. These things were all done at night, and he never told anyone. Moreover, in order to prevent others from discovering it, he would cover the place he dug with soil and vegetation.

However, the fire cannot be contained by paper, and everyone finally knows about the coal in the mountains.

At first, everyone kept silent to each other and secretly went to the mountains to dig coal; slowly, more and more people dug coal, and the secret was made public. In order to avoid conflicts, everyone agreed to dig coal together and make a fortune together.

As the number of people digging coal increased, the coal on the surface was almost exhausted, so everyone began to dig deeper underground. And each time he continued to go deeper, slowly becoming a tunnel. Over the past five or six years, the tunnel has been lengthened every time. As a result, the tunnel here is more than ten miles long.

At the entrance of the tunnel, everyone built a relatively sturdy greenhouse covered with tarpaulin to prevent rainwater from entering the tunnel. And inside the tunnel. Every fifty steps, everyone would build some thick wooden pillars to support the tunnel to prevent collapse.

The reason why everyone did this was because they paid a price. In the past five or six years, at least seven or eight local people have died due to tunnel collapse. There are also people who are buried in tunnels forever and their bodies cannot be found. In other words, people are afraid or unwilling to dig randomly to search for their bodies.

Among these coal diggers, one is named Zhang Wulang. His life is much better by digging coal. In the past, his family was poor. He and his father were the only ones in the family, and they made a living by doing part-time labor for others. Since mining coal, the family has saved a lot of money, and Zhang Wulang also married a beautiful wife.

Three years ago, Zhang Wulang's father, Zhang Gou'er, went to dig coal. Unfortunately, the tunnel collapsed, and a large area nearby also sunk and collapsed. Zhang Gou'er was buried directly in the coal mountain. Later, people continued to repair the tunnel, and Zhang Gouer's body was piled up in the tunnel wall together with the coal.

On this day, Li Da, Wang Er, Hu San, Yang Si, Liu Wu, Zhao Liu and others continued to dig coal as usual.

Several people have been digging coal for a long time and are ready to take a break and eat some food before continuing to dig. After eating, several people felt sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while. At this time, I just heard a voice saying: "Save me, save me, I will die if you don't save me!"

After hearing the voice, several people were startled and looked at each other, Big eyes stared at small eyes, not knowing what was going on. They looked and saw no one else around, so they thought they had encountered a ghost.

was wondering if he heard it wrong, when the voice said again: "What are you guys doing standing still? Save me quickly. I'm in the wall. Quickly open this place and pull me out, otherwise I will He's going to die!"

This time, everyone heard it, and the sound came from the tunnel wall. How could there be anyone in the tunnel? If it was a monster or a god, it would have come out long ago. Since it can't be a human being, it can't be a god or a monster, so it can only be a ghost.

Several people were even more frightened, and they couldn't see where the ghost was, so they all wanted to run outside. But I don't know what happened, their feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and they couldn't move even if they wanted to.

Zhao Liu was more courageous and said to the wall: "Brother, you have died here, this should be your life.Since you're dead, just accept your fate and don't come out to scare people. The worst thing we can do is worship you more and give you good wine and meat.

The person in the wall suddenly became angry and said, "Zhao Liu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Who died? Get out of here! Don’t you recognize me? I am Zhang Gouer from Qiancun, and my son’s name is Wulang. Don’t you have a very good relationship with me? Why have you guys forgotten even me? "

Zhao Liu became even more frightened when he heard this, and so did those few people.

They knew that Zhang Gouer was killed while digging coal three years ago and was trapped in the mountain. Zhang Wulang and his wife also invited eminent monks and Taoist priests to , it has been several years since I came to summon his soul and save him. Could it be that this dog has not yet been reincarnated? Or is it that he is a living ghost and has always been like this?

Thinking of this, Zhao Liu said loudly: "We can't believe you, let Zhang Wulang come! "

" You brat, you brag about how brave you are on weekdays, why are you so pussy now? "Zhang Gou'er was still cursing in the wall. Zhao Liu and others were finally able to move. They went out and planned to return Zhang Wulang and call more people.

By coincidence, Zhang Wulang had already arrived. Zhao Liu and others took a look, He immediately told what happened in the tunnel.

Zhang Wulang thought he was joking and ran over to take a look.

Zhang Gouer had already seen him and said, "Good son, you are here." , why don’t you hurry up and save your father? "

When Zhang Wulang heard this, he cried immediately, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Father, aren't you... aren't you already dead? How...how can you still talk? Are you a human or a ghost? "

Zhang Gou'er became anxious and said, "I just went in, why did he die? Hurry and dig open the wall. If you don't save me, I will really die! "

When Zhang Wulang heard this, he quickly found a hoe and kept digging at the wall. After a long time of work, he pulled Zhang Gou'er out. As soon as Zhang Gou'er came out, he immediately patted himself and jumped left and right, as if There was something on him. He took off his clothes and threw them into the wall.

Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask.

Zhang Gouer was not human. When the son saw it, he laughed and said: "You are so timid, okay, okay, I will go and verify it for you." Ghosts are afraid of the sun, right? Ghosts don’t have shadows, do they? Come on, come on, take a look! "

He walked in front, and everyone followed him, and he came out of the greenhouse and came under the sun. When everyone saw that he was not afraid, it was just that the sun was a bit dazzling when he came out of the tunnel, and he couldn't open his eyes. There was indeed a shadow behind him.
At this time, everyone was puzzled and asked: "How can you survive when you are buried in the tunnel? "

Zhang Gou'er said: "When the tunnel collapsed, I was under a wooden pillar. The wooden pillar held up a place, so I was not crushed. However, everything around me collapsed and I couldn't see anything. I thought I would be buried alive there. I thought about digging a tunnel, but it was of no use and I could only cry there. As a result, when I was tired from crying, I fell asleep. After a while, I heard a voice, which was your voice, so I called you to save me.

Zhang Wulang was horrified and said, "Dad, why did you say it won't be long?" You don’t know that you are all dead... Bah, bah, bah, you are all gone... Bah, bah, bah... Have you been in there for three years? My wife and I have performed rituals for you, summoned souls for you, and saved you! "

Zhang Gou'er was a little surprised and said: "Ah, how is this possible? I can only stay there for one meal at most, right? If it takes three years, I will starve to death even if I am hungry! "

Everyone said that Zhang Gou'er had indeed been there for three years. Zhang Gou'er still didn't believe it, so he pulled Zhang Wulang and wanted to go home.

Just after taking two steps, Zhang Gou'er came back again, pulling everyone back. In the tunnel, I went to the coal mining area and asked him if he saw anything. Everyone shook their heads and said there was nothing, only ants, centipedes and other small insects.

Zhang Gou'er suddenly became very serious and said: "Yes, there are bugs and life inside. We usually dig coal, and when we want to relieve ourselves, we just find a place to do it, but many bugs are killed by us. "

Zhao Liu smiled and said, "If you die, just die. What a big deal!"

Zhang Gou'er shook his head and said, "When I was imprisoned, I had a dream. In the dream, I came to a strange place, which seemed to be a bug fairyland. There were no people there, and there were no cats, dogs, tigers, leopards and other animals. There were only bugs, all kinds of bugs. There were spiders, ants, centipedes, and crickets. There are mole crickets , there are cutworms , there are earthworms... There are many, many bugs, which look densely packed, but they all have their own places to go, and they don't fight for or fight with each other. Everyone is in their own territory and they live in peace. ."

"What happened to these bugs?" Zhang Wulang asked.

"One of the bugs, which seemed to be very old, asked me to look at a place. I looked there and saw nothing moving. At this time, suddenly a lot of water fell from the sky, like a waterfall, but the water looked a little yellowish. , mixed with a sense of irritation. After the yellow water fell, it drowned, or poisoned, dozens of ants. Those ants were transporting food, and just like that, they floated in the ocean of yellow water, never to be seen again. Didn't come out. Some of the insects around them blocked their noses and ran away, and some cried and sighed... I suddenly realized that it was a pool of urine! Yes, that was our usual urine. The urine waterfall killed a group of ants. "

" What should I do? Isn't it just a matter of peeing? I often pee in an ant nest, or at a spider. It's quite interesting. "

" Don't you think it's funny? You want to urinate in an ant pile? Do those ants have a grudge against you for killing your father, or for taking away your wife?" When everyone heard this, they were silent as they thought about what they had done before.

"In the insect fairyland on the wall, I also saw a huge shoe that crushed centipedes, spiders, and mole crickets to death, and a huge, smelly mountain falling from the sky that crushed many bugs to death. It was human feces. Every time, many bugs died, so I was attacked by many bugs, and they came to bite me even though they knew I would die. But I think they saved me, if not for the bug bites. I, I probably fell asleep forever. But in fact, the bug bit me and I woke up in pain, so I could call for help. This dream is very realistic, and I still have bug bites on my body. "

Everyone. I felt that this made sense and couldn't help but nodded.

"We killed the bug, but the bug accidentally saved me. Does this count as repaying evil with kindness? I think so." After finishing speaking, Zhang Gouer and Zhang Wulang went home.

From then on, they would bring urinals with them every time they entered the tunnel, and when they needed to relieve themselves, they would do so in the urinals. After work is over, take it home, and the farmyard manure can be used to fertilize the land.
