The family was living in poverty and had no food to eat, so they decided to beg.
There was a family of three brothers who all got married and had children, but they had not yet separated. The three brothers had been living together and sharing the relay property. But the family was poor and had only four walls. They could only dig wild vegetables to eat, and they never had a full meal. The wives were all sallow and thin, and the children all had belly-thin as paper. It was as if they could see the wild vegetables they had eaten in the last meal through their bellies. Gradually, the wild vegetables around them were almost eaten up, and only the dried vegetables from previous years were left at home. They eat wild vegetables, and the harvest is simply not as good as that of livestock.
In order to survive, the three brothers got together for a meeting late one night and decided to take their guys out to make a living tomorrow. The boss was a tall man and didn't bring anything with him. He thought that he would be able to find a job with his own strength. The second child brought his abacus , thinking about using his shrewd mind to open up a business world outside. The three old men were thin and short, and their brains were not very bright, so they brought an erhu with them, hoping to get some rewards through performing arts.
Han Laosan had an adventure
The next day, the three brothers set off in different directions. Han Laosan walked towards the west. After walking for several days and nights, he felt tired, so he rested and gnawed under a tree by a river. After taking a few mouthfuls of steamed buns and a few mouthfuls of water, thinking about the hardships of the past few days and the confusion of the future, he played the erhu, and the melody was sometimes gentle and sometimes desolate according to people's emotions.
After playing the erhu, the third child sighed and thought it was time to continue on his way. As soon as he stood up, he heard someone say: The erhu you played is so beautiful. My father loves to listen to the erhu very much. Are you willing to come? My dragon palace is a musician?
The third child looked back and saw a white dragon on the river. He was startled. Then he thought that he was confused about the future, so he thought it would be a good idea to go to the Dragon Palace to see something, so he replied: Yes.
Han Lao San’s Life in the Dragon Palace
The little white dragon let Lao San climb on his back, and then began to dive. During the dive, the river water automatically moved out of the way, forming a waterway, and after a while, he arrived at the Dragon Palace. For the next three years, the third child has been working as a musician in the Dragon Palace. The Dragon King and the Dragon Prince like him very much. They have good wine and food every day, and they live a happy life. But when the third child thought that his wife was still suffering from hunger at home, he thought it was better to go back. He explained to the Dragon King and the Prince that he still had a wife and children at home. He had not gone back for three years and now it was time to go back.
Although the Dragon King was reluctant to give up, he still decided to let Lao San go home. Thinking of the joy Lao San had brought to them in the past three years, he wanted to give Han Lao San a thousand pieces of gold, but Han Lao San didn't want it.
Han Laosan once heard a palace maid who took care of him say that there are thousands of treasures in the Dragon Palace, but there is one treasure that can conjure any food he wants. Han Lao San thought, with this treasure, he would never have to go hungry again. He asked the Dragon King if he could give him a treasure that could produce any food for a hundred years.
The Dragon King thought for a moment, then took out a treasure iron pot for him, and told Lao San that these treasures could produce any food he wanted after reciting the spell silently.
On the way home, crises and opportunities are everywhere
Han Laosan took the iron pot, said goodbye to the Dragon King and his son, and embarked on the way home. On the way home, he passed by a wasteland. Han Laosan felt a little hungry, so he took out the iron pot given by the Dragon King, intending to conjure some food for a full meal. He silently recited the incantation told by the Dragon King. After reciting, he opened the iron pot, Seeing the hot fat chicken, fat duck, braised beef , and the shochu filling the iron pot, the aroma is overflowing, and the silly old man drools, thinking: It is really a treasure, I wouldn't exchange it for a thousand dollars.
While Han Laosan was enjoying the delicious food, a burly man passing by was also attracted by the delicious food. Han Laosan generously invited the big man to enjoy it with him. The big man had traveled a long way and was in this deserted place with no village or shop. He had not eaten for a long time and was unbearably hungry. Seeing Han Laosan's warm invitation, he also started to enjoy it without any courtesy.
After the two of them had a full meal, the big man asked in confusion: In this wasteland, how did your brother come to be so delicious, and the delicious food was still steaming? The silly old man smiled and showed off his treasure to this strange man without reservation.
As the saying goes: When you go out, you must be on guard against others. This third child is so stupid!
After hearing this, the big man felt envious of Han Laosan’s treasure, and thought to himself: It would be great if I could own this treasure. The big man's eyes became greedy, and he said to the third child: I also have a treasure, I want to exchange it with you, I hope you agree.
The silly old man was startled: I thought to myself, I have talked too much, they all say that wealth should not be exposed, not to mention that this treasure of mine is worth more than gold. But in this wilderness, this big man is much taller than me. If he wants to grab me, I will definitely not be able to grab him.
The silly old man said: What treasures do you have? Let me tell you.
The big man said: I have a pair of copper hammers, which can kill anyone within a hundred miles. If you agree, I will exchange them with you.
Han Laosan thought for a moment and then agreed. After the two exchanged, they separated and walked in different directions. After the two were separated for 2 miles, Han Laosan gave the order to Tongchui to kill the big man. Sure enough, just when the big man was happy to get a good treasure, he was killed by the copper hammer he had just given away.
The silly old man walked to the big man, took away his iron pot, took two treasures, and continued on his way.
Han Lao San got another treasure
On the way down, Han Lao San met an old beggar on crutches and wearing a torn sheepskin when he was climbing over a barren mountain. The old beggar was old and was so hungry that he walked away. Unsteady, the silly old man couldn't bear to see the old man so pitiful, so he asked the old beggar if he wanted something to eat. He had a way to get it.
The old beggar said, I want to eat a piece of white flour cake. Han Laosan took out his iron pot, silently recited a spell, opened the iron pot, and there were several steaming white flour cakes in the pot. Han Laosan gave the old beggar his hands. The old beggar's old eyes shone brightly. Although his teeth were almost gone, he actually ate a piece of white flour cake in three times.
After eating the cake, the old beggar said to Han Laosan: My strength is about to end. My hometown is in this mountain. Although there is no one in the mountain now, I want to die here. Thank you for letting me Before dying, he had a full meal. I am penniless, so I will give you my sheepskin and walking stick.
The silly old man thought to himself: It’s useless for me to have this old sheepskin and old crutches. Then he excused himself and said, "Thank you, old man. I have no use for this. You can keep it for yourself." The old beggar said: Although my sheepskin is torn, if you put it on your shoulders, it will not be cold when it snows, it will tremble on dry days, and the basket will be full of rain. I use this old crutch to draw on the ground, and everything I draw becomes real.
The silly old man thought: This baby is great, so he accepted the old beggar’s gift and continued to rush to his home.
The brothers separated, and the stupid third brother had nothing but a pile of rags.
After three years, the eldest brother and the second brother have returned home with wealth. The boss worked at a dock and earned a fortune by relying on his own strength. Later he contracted the dock and is now a small dock owner worth a hundred gold. I have returned home at the beginning of the year, and now my sister-in-law and nephews are living a happy life, with plenty to eat and warm clothes.
The second brother also made a lot of money by relying on his business acumen. He opened three stores and is now worth a fortune. Now his family is very prosperous and their food and clothing are very luxurious.
The wife and children of the stupid third brother have seen the good life of the eldest brother and the second brother's family. They have food and clothing. Although the family has not been separated yet, the food and clothing are all leftovers from the eldest brother and the second brother's family. They often look at people's faces, so they look forward to it every day. The silly old man is back.
On this day, Han Lao San’s wife heard someone shouting: Lao San is back. I quickly ran out of the house and looked towards the entrance of the village. I saw a thin figure carrying an iron pot, a copper hammer, a tattered sheepskin, and an old crutch walking slowly from the entrance of the village.
Seeing Han Laosan's desolate state, the eldest brother and second brother's family didn't take kindly to it, and they were anxious to separate the family. Han Laosan thought that the three brothers had already married and established a family, and it was time to separate the family, so he agreed.After the family was divided, Hanlao San's family only received a broken pot, a pair of copper hammers, a broken sheepskin, an old walking stick and a large piece of open space.
That night, Han Lao San’s family could only sleep on the open ground. Looking at the poor child, Han Lao San’s wife couldn’t help but cry: Even if they are allocated half an acre of land, what will happen in the future? Do it.
Four treasures, help the third child to turn over and become the master
The silly third child didn’t say anything when he saw his wife crying sadly. He used his iron pot to conjure many delicious dishes. He patted his wife and said: You and the children should eat some first. Something, the silly third wife was very surprised: she asked loudly where the food came from. Han Laosan took out his iron pot and said, with it, you will not be hungry in the future.
My wife and children had never seen such delicacies before, so they ate them without caring about anything. While his wife and children were enjoying the delicious food, the silly old man used his old crutch to draw on the open space. Han Laosan drew a row of elegant houses with high walls and grand gates. When I saw my wife and children sleeping, I was worried that they were freezing, so I covered them with sheepskins. Han Laosan spent the whole night painting, and when it was almost dawn, he finally finished the painting. In a blink of an eye, a courtyard stood up in the open space. It was so majestic! The wife and children woke up in a gorgeous bed in the morning.
Not only Han Laosan's wife and children were shocked, but the elder brother and second brother's family who came to watch the excitement were also shocked. How could Han Laosan build such a luxurious house overnight.
Han Lao San told the eldest brother and second brother about the treasure he had obtained. The eldest brother and the second brother were very jealous and spread the news that Han Lao San had a treasure. As the saying goes: If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid that thieves will miss you. A group of thieves came to Han Lao San's house to snatch the treasure. Han Lao San's wife and children were frightened, but Han Lao San did not panic at all and took out a copper hammer. In a matter of seconds, several thieves were knocked down. From now on, no one dared to rob it.
The second year was a year of severe drought. Seeing that the crops were about to die, Han Laosan took out the sheepskin and shook it three times. It rained heavily and quenched the farmer's thirst.
Han Lao San has become a person of great status and fame in a hundred miles around. Everyone who meets Han Lao San has to address him as "San Ye".
