Wife Wang got up at night and went to the toilet to relieve herself. After she got up, she finished the work. As soon as she lifted her pants, she heard the sound of bubbling in the cesspool. She went back to the house to get the oil lamp and looked closer. It turned out that there was a large loach , which was as thick as an arm in the cesspool. Widow Wang suddenly felt greedy. She took out the fishing net and fished out the loach.
Wife Wang threw the loach to the ground, brought a basin of clean water to rinse it, and looked closely. She saw that the loach was as thick as his arms, and the beard on his mouth was as long as chopsticks.Wife Wang couldn't help but say to herself: "This guy is big enough, it will take at least 180 years. If you eat you, it will be a sin! Let's put you off!"
Her was about to take out the big loach and release it, but the loach suddenly said, "Benefactor, thank you for saving me. I will repay you!"
Wife Wang was so scared that she sat on the ground. The loach opened his mouth and said, "Don't be afraid, benefactor, I won't hurt you. I am a loach in the lake next to me. Now I have lived for more than 100 years. Thank you for saving me just now."
Widow Wang said, "Then why did you come to my toilet?"
Loach said, "I'm going through the tribulation. It rained heavily yesterday, and a few thunder sounded, which struck me dumb. I ran to your toilet along the secret passage. I struggled in it for a day, but I couldn't find the exit. Otherwise, It was you who saved me when you heard the sound, and I might be dead. "
Widow Wang nodded and said, "Then I will put you back to the lake as soon as possible. It's not a problem for you!"
Widow Wang held a basin of water and walked along the path to the lakeside. She put the loach back into the lake, and then said, "You go, be careful in the future, don't be stunned by lightning again." When the loach returned to the lake, he immediately regained his vitality. It swam three times at Widow Wang to show gratitude. Widow Wang also bowed and said goodbye to the loach.
After tossing for half a night, Widow Wang was exhausted. After returning home, she didn't care about her stinking and fell asleep. The next morning, it started raining at dawn. Widow Wang's old house was disrepair for a long time and leaked when it rained. She was sleeping soundly, and the leak on the roof dripped on her face, and she woke up with a tremor.
See that it was not yet bright, but the bed was already wet, so I got up and found some pots and jars to put them in the leaking place, and made some breakfast by myself.
After breakfast, the rain stopped. She remembered the big loach last night, so she went around the lake and came to the place where the loaches were released last night. She stayed for a while and sighed, "Loaches can live a hundred years old. Now I am a lonely old woman, I have to live the second half of my life alone like this! It's so bleak!" After that, tears fell down.
Wife Wang was a little sad and walked home along the lakeside. Since it had just rained in the morning, she slid into the lake when she didn't pay attention. Widow Wang didn't know the nature of the water, and the more she struggled, the more she sank.
Just as she sank, a thick rope wrapped around her waist and kept pulling her upwards. Soon she was dragged to the shore, and she tried hard to grab the water plants on the shore and climbed up from the lake little by little.
After she got ashore, she realized that it was not someone else who saved her, but the big loach I saved last night. She thanked the loach for saving her with great kindness.
Loach said, "You accidentally fell into the water just now. This is just a reminder. I calculated my fingers and found that you still have a hard time within three days. Remember, don't sleep in the house at night, you must hide!"
Widow Wang nodded, and she hurriedly ran home. It was still far away. Widow Wang saw a figure exploring there. Widow Wang hurriedly hid behind the tree beside her and looked at it.
Widow Wang found that the figure looked very much like Liu Laizi in the village. Liu Laizi was idle and often bullied widows. What are you wandering around in front of her house now? Widow Wang did not go home, but waited for Liu Laizi to leave before going back.
At night, Widow Wang couldn't sleep. She remembered what Loach said to her and couldn't sleep in the house. So she ran to the woods behind the house to sleep all night. In the middle of the night, she found a strange sound on the roof of her house. When she looked up, she saw a figure on the roof. After a while, the figure jumped out of the room and left.
suddenly banged, and her house collapsed, which scared Widow Wang. If she had been sleeping in the house, she would have been smashed to death inside.
She followed the figure to Liu Laizi's house without hesitation. He quietly walked to the outside of Liu Laizi's house, and there was another person inside. The man asked, "How is it? Didn't that Widow Wang smash it inside?"
Liu Laizi said, "That's right, I saw the house collapse with my own eyes, and I didn't hear any cry for help in the house. I must have been smashed to death."
Another person said, "It's great. Once Widow Wang dies, we can go to her house to dig treasures."
Widow Wang heard that Liu Laizi and his gang wanted to dig treasures at their own house! Widow Wang hurried back to the lake. She called out Niu and told Niu Zi about Liu Laizi's conversation. Widow Wang also said, "When my wife left, Liu Laizi had to buy my old house. I don't want to. He asked someone to cooperate with me several times, and finally sent someone to threaten me. Now I want to smash me to death!"
Niu said, "Your wife's death was also done by Liu Laizi and the others. Now you'd better find a man to live. If the house collapses, you can rebuild it. Having a man around you is the main business. I think the village Li Wajian is good, and he often helps you! "
Widow Wang said, "I am so old, I can't think so far. What's more, Brother Liu may not be willing to marry me!"
Loach said, "You are only forty years old, don't give up hope. I'll forget about it, you will have a lot of children and grandchildren in the future! I will help you." After Loach finished speaking, he spit out a golden lump from his mouth and asked Widow Wang to take it to find Li Wajian, asking him to help build a new house, and told Widow Wang to seize the opportunity.
Wife Wang took the golden lump and found Li Wajian and built a big house. During the construction of the house, Widow Wang and Li Wajian gradually developed feelings for each other. After the house was built, the two became close. Later, Loach gave Widow Wang a box of treasures, saying that they were treasures buried under the old house.
. Liu Laizi and his gang learned that Widow Wang not only did not kill him, but instead built a big house on the old house, and thought that Widow Wang had obtained the treasure. So I thought about stealing late at night, but unexpectedly it suddenly rained heavily that night, and a big thunder struck Liu Laizi and his gang to death.
