There is a mountain village Mengcun at the foot of the mountain. The village is not big, with only a few dozen households. However, this village is on the only way down the mountain, so it is usually quite lively.
But even so, Meng Village has not become much richer because of this, it is still so poor.
There lived an Orion grandson in the village. This man was much taller than ordinary people and strong. However, he was very kind and got along very well with his neighbors.
It's just that although Sun Da is a kind person, he is a bit dull, not good at words, and is absolutely honest.
Although Sun Da's family is poor, he has a beautiful-looking wife. When talking about this, people talk about it.
It turned out that this woman was from another mountain village. When she encountered danger while going up the mountain, it was Mr. Sun who generously came to help, which led to this marriage.
The sky was gloomy, and the rain began to fall gradually. In the house, the wife who was cleaning the room looked at it, frowned and said, "Master, it's going to rain again. Shouldn't our house be tidied up?"
Big Sun glanced around and said with a sad look on his face: Hey! It’s time to clean up. After a few days, I’ll find a carpenter to come over and replace the doors and windows.
This house was built by Grandpa Sun. By now, it has long been in decay. The doors and windows have been ravaged by the years and look like they will break at the touch of a touch.
There was a thunder, heavy rain poured down, and there was a roar. The doors and windows in front of me suddenly shattered. The house trembled and almost collapsed.
When Mr. Sun saw it, he quickly dragged his wife and escaped. The two stood in the rain, looking at the crumbling house, and looked at each other.
In panic and with a sense of luck, his wife said angrily: I told you a long time ago that you don't take it seriously. If this collapses, will we still survive?
After hearing this, Mr. Sun felt regretful and said: When the rain stops, I will go find a carpenter.
After the rain stopped, Mr. Sun went to a town seven or eight miles away and met a middle-aged carpenter.
Generally, this person is responsible for carpentry work nearby, and he is somewhat famous. However, this person is greedy and lustful, so his reputation is not very good.
The carpenter came to his house, looked at the house, frowned, and said: Your house is too dilapidated. The doors, windows and pillars need to be replaced. I think we should just build a new house.
Mr. Sun shook his head after hearing this. He was not stupid. He only needed a carpenter to replace the doors, windows and pillars. If he were to build a house, it would be a big project. He had no money!
quickly waved his hand: This is the ancestral house. I live comfortably. I’d better change the doors, windows and pillars!
At this moment, Sun Daguo's wife came over. When the carpenter saw her, there was a lustful look in his eyes.
The project was settled in this way. The carpenter came here every day, and Mr. Sun took care of the meal. The carpenter brought the wood.
One day, Mr. Sun went hunting in the mountains. There were only two people at home, his wife and a carpenter.
While the wife was busy, the carpenter, although busy, kept his eyes on her all the time. The wife felt something, but she didn't take it seriously, thinking that she was overthinking it.
The carpenter put down his work, walked behind Orion's wife, and touched her hand. This scared the woman to death.
turned around and saw the carpenter's look, he understood immediately, and said angrily: What are you doing?
But the carpenter said with a smile: If you agree to my promise, I won't take the salary, how about it?
After hearing this, the woman immediately opened her eyes angrily, raised her hand and opened her mouth, and a slap mark appeared on the carpenter's face.
The woman dared to go up the mountain alone. She was not an ordinary farm girl, so she confused the carpenter.
After a long time, the carpenter touched his cheek and his arrogance suddenly disappeared. After snorting, he left the Sun family.
The woman was still angry, but for the sake of reputation, she did not make any noise.
Sun Daguo came back with a prey on his back. When he saw that the carpenter was not there, he asked: Isn’t the carpenter working?
My wife hummed and didn’t say anything, but Big Sun didn’t think much about it.
The next day, the wife thought that the carpenter would not come again. Unexpectedly, the carpenter came again pushing a wheelbarrow and pulling wood, with a smile on his face, and he could not tell the embarrassment of yesterday.
Mr. Sun greeted him warmly. Although his wife was confused, she didn’t care.
The project lasted for more than a month. The wood was transported from the town by the carpenter. When it was time to settle the wages, Mr. Sun gave all the money at home to the carpenter and a few pieces of leather to make up for it. enough.
However, the carpenter turned around and glanced at the couple with a hint of coldness.
The pillars have been replaced with new ones, and the doors and windows are all new. The previous situation will not happen again this time.
But the strange thing is that living in the house, Sun and his wife always felt something was wrong. In one month, the wife could not afford to fall ill.
Mr. Sun was so anxious that he hurriedly found a doctor. However, after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he didn't see any illness and just prescribed some medicine to replenish the body.
But the wife’s condition has not improved at all.
When Mr. Sun was hunting, he often thought about his wife, which resulted in him being almost injured by wild beasts several times.
On this day, his wife's condition worsened, so Mr. Sun did not go hunting and took care of his wife at home.
His house is actually guarding the roadside, a place you will pass by when going up the mountain.
An old man shouted outside the door: Master! Can I give you a drink of water?
In the courtyard, Mr. Sun suddenly raised his head and saw a round-faced old man shouting at him with a smile on his face.
Mr. Sun immediately smiled and without saying a word, turned around and entered the room, bringing out a bowl of water.
After the old man took it, he finished it in a few sips. Sun Datou took it and gave him another bowl.
After drinking, the old man squinted his eyes and seemed to be enjoying it, and said: Thank you very much, brother! The old man passed by here, but he was thirsty.
Mr. Sun smiled and said: It’s all trivial!
The old man looked at the courtyard, suddenly froze, frowned and said: Has something happened at home recently?
Sun Daguo was stunned and said: My wife is seriously ill!
After hearing this, the old man murmured: That’s right, there is something wrong with your house!
After hearing this, Mr. Sun knew that he had met an expert and quickly handed over his hand: Please give me some advice!
The old man walked in, pointed at the doors and windows, and said: This is the problem. Although these doors and windows are new, the wood exudes the smell of decay and death. If I read it correctly, this should be Made from the coffin boards of the deceased.
Hearing this, Mr. Sun was stunned for a moment and suddenly became furious. It turned out to be the carpenter's fault.
The old man sighed and said: This carpenter has gone too far. Living people live in this kind of house. It would be strange if nothing happens. If it is demolished quickly, the trouble will be gone.
Mr. Sun bowed to the old man, and the old man turned and left. Mr. Sun immediately began to tear down the doors and windows, but the pillars were not moved.
set fire to the dismantled doors and windows.
Sure enough, a few days later, the wife gradually got better. After hearing her husband talk about it, the wife recounted what happened that day.
After hearing this, Mr. Sun immediately wanted to go to the carpenter to risk his life, but his wife stopped him.
One thing is worse than one thing less. Fortunately, they met a kind person. Although the couple did not go to the carpenter's trouble, they still informed their acquaintances about the matter. After a while, the carpenter's reputation became so bad that almost no one dared to ask him to work. Alive.
The story is over!
