In ancient times, there was a village where there were three brothers in the village with the surname Long. Both parents died and the three brothers depended on each other for their own lives.
Later, since the eldest brother Long got married, he no longer cared about his two younger brothers and only cared about his wife and his newborn child.
A few years later, Long Lao Er also got married and had children. Like the eldest, he only cared about his newly formed family and could no longer care about this helpless and youngest brother.
In the blink of an eye, Long Laosan is already twenty years old. He has worked very hard over the years with his own hard work. Sometimes he has experienced hunger without the last meal. But as long as there are some good things on hand, the first thing he thinks of is always two brothers. Therefore, he often gives the things he has saved money to his two brothers or helps poor neighbors.
One night, in a daze, a white-haired and white-bearded old man told him: "As long as you walk east and cross the three mountains, six ridges and eight pits, you can see a Sun Mountain. There is a cave on the mountain with countless gold and pearl agates in it. You must set the mountain before the sun comes out, otherwise you will be burned to death by the sun. The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Remember, remember!" Then the old man floated away.
Watching the old man floating away, Long Lao San woke up instantly and realized that it was a dream. Although the old man was no longer visible, there seemed to be a sound like a bell lingering in his ears, and it took a long time...
Long Lao San told the two brothers about this. The three of them together and felt that it would rather be trusted to have it than to have it without it!
So, after a while, the three brothers began their journey of treasure hunting before dawn.
They experienced wind, frost, rain and dew, crossed the three mountains, six ridges and eight pits, and after all the hardships, they finally arrived at Sun Mountain. Taking advantage of the bright snow-like moonlight, they climbed and walked, and finally found the cave where the treasure was hidden.
Looking at the shiny cave, the golden light shining inside, they jumped up with joy and hurriedly ran in. Boss Long touched the rows of gold, looked at the boxes of pearl agate, and said in his mouth: "This is all mine, this is all mine..." His eyes were clear and he was froze there!
Long Lao Er is like his elder brother, so happy that he can't even close his mouth and says, "I've got rich, I've got rich..."! I was in a hurry to take out the bag and put the gold in a hurry.
Long Laosan was also extremely happy. He thrust and knelt down to the entrance of the cave, thanking the old man for pointing out the way of wealth and bringing blessings. Then, he opened the bag and put it in gold and jewelry. He did not forget to remind his two brothers to run quickly so as not to escape when the sun came out.
At this time, Boss Long looked at the mountains of gold and jewelry, and wanted to take more, and Long Lao Er was the same, and wanted to take more.
Under the repeated urging of Long Lao San, they finally left the cave. Because the third brother took less, he ran down the mountain faster and finally reached a safe situation.
Watching the dick dragging his heavy bag, he walked step by step with exhaustion, and then the mountain was already fiery red, and the heat wave was even more violent. The flames of Sun Mountain sounded, and the flames spread around the mountain. It was about to burn Long Lao Er, so Long Lao San hurried over, carrying the sack full of gold with force, and hurriedly ran out of the dangerous situation with his other hand.
It's really dangerous. Long Lao Er was almost burned to death by the flames of Sun Mountain. Fortunately, Long Lao San took action in time and they finally went down the mountain safely. However, the boss was too greedy and could not bear to abandon the gold to save his life. As a result, he was burned to death by the flames of Sun Mountain!
The two brothers returned to the village, and the second brother began to dislike this one and that one. Even his wife disliked her as ugly, so she spent all day, spent too much money, and was immersed in the days of spending time.
After Lao San returned to the village, he did good deeds every day. He thought to himself, since God takes care of me and makes money, I can’t just focus on my own happiness without helping everyone. So he spent money on good deeds every day, and it also received praise from the villagers!
After two years like this, seeing the gradually shrinking of wealth, Long Laosan thought, if this continues, no matter how much wealth you have, one day, will be used up. What should I do?
Finally, he came up with a good idea. He found several crop experts in the village and explained their ideas. He was willing to spend a lot of money to donate to everyone to buy seeds, farm tools, open wasteland, repair water conservancy and plant farmland, so that everyone can have fertile land, and in the future, everyone can be prosperous together.
This idea was unanimously agreed and applauded by everyone. Everyone organized it and became busy.
Later, Long Laosan looked at the endless green fields, the orderly and beautiful and wide roads in front and behind the village, and the happy smiles of the villagers, he smiled, and he finally showed a kind and satisfied smile!
The Long Lao Er here, as he squandered his money and was extremely drunk, he was also involved in gambling over the years. Soon, not only squandered his wealth, but also his body was also very poorly worn out. Looking at his ragged and hunched back, many people shook their heads and sighed for his despair and despair!
Long Laosan used his wealth to develop the cultivation of villagers and the construction of rural areas, so that everyone could live a prosperous and beautiful life, benefit one's place, and left a reputation that was praised by people!
