Old Zhangtou lives on the bank of the Haihe River. He lives by growing vegetables and running a vegetable garden. This year, a melon was born in his vegetable garden, which grew long, white and big, which made Lao Zhang very curious. Such melons were suitable for keeping seeds, so he never picked them.
That day, he returned from selling vegetables and found a Taoist priest waiting at the door. When he saw Lao Zhang's head, the old Taoist asked in a southern accent: "Old man, I heard that there is a very large long white melon in your garden. I want to buy it. You always offer a price!"
Lao Zhang's head was very curious: "This melon is already an elder, and I can't eat it anymore. I just use it to keep it. What are you doing?"
The Taoist priest said: "You don't have to worry about what I bought it for. Do you think you can sell it? I will pay ten taels of silver, okay?"
Ten taels of silver? Such melons can be sold in a car. You should know that ten taels of silver are worth at least 1,000 yuan now. If you spend 1,000 yuan to buy a big melon, who would be so stupid?
If something goes wrong, it is a monster. Old Zhang became curious. He shook his head and asked the Taoist priest to increase the price. But the Taoist priest opened his mouth and scared him: "One thousand taels of silver, can you say it's done by buying your melon? This thousand taels of silver is enough for you to buy acre of good land, and you no longer have to grow vegetables and sell vegetables every day."
The more he said, the more curious he became. He shook his head: "If you don't tell me one, two, three, and four, you can pay 10,000 taels of silver, you don't want to buy this melon!"
"Why are you so stubborn?" The Taoist priest was extremely corrupt and hesitated for a while before he told the truth.
It turns out that there is a water arrow at the bottom of Sancha River in Tianjin Wei . The river flows gather in the sea and goes down the first-class. Thanks to this water arrow. This water-dividing arrow is worth millions of taels of silver. Unfortunately, there is a thousand-year-old guard at the Canglong. If you want to get the water-dividing arrow, you must get the long white melon, ride it into the water, and defeat the Canglong, you can get the water-dividing arrow.
After hearing his words, Lao Zhang realized that he was about to sell the melon, but he didn't know that the old Taoist said, "Do you do me a favor. Tonight, you go with me and I will give you a set of five-color flags. After I enter the water, you will be guarding the river. After a hand will stretch out the water surface. If you see the hand of the color, you will hand the flag of the color to his hand. Don't be afraid. As long as you stay there, I will be rewarded with a lot after I get the treasure."
Lao Zhang heard this, nodded, picked the giant melon and sold it to the Taoist priest for a price of 1,000 taels of silver. The old Taoist priest brought a carriage, carefully placed the long white melon on it, wrapped it in cotton cloth and tied it up with a rope, and then pulled the carriage away slowly.
For several days, the Taoist priest did not look for it again, and Lao Zhang also put this matter behind his mind.
That night, the moon was as bright as water. Lao Zhang had eaten and was about to go to bed. The Taoist priest knocked on his door a few days ago: "Old man, can we count the agreement a few days ago?"
"Count it!"
"Let's go!"
a melon farmer and an old Taoist didn't talk nonsense. They got on a small boat and rowed towards the beach. Under the moonlight, the waves were shining. I don’t know how long it took, but the old Taoist stopped: "I’m here!"
He untied his hair, dripped his hair and pushed the huge white melon into the water. The giant melon actually drifted on the water, steadily. The old Taoist sat on the melon and slowly sank into the water.
Lao Zhang sat alone on the boat bored, looking at the small flag in his hand, including red, yellow, blue, white and black. He didn't know what material it made of, and did not wrinkle when it encountered water. He played with the flag, and suddenly the waves rolled, and a hand stretched out from the water, which scared Lao Zhang.
It turns out that this hand is as big as a dustpan and bright red in color. Old Zhang quickly handed the red flag in his hand to his hand, and held the small flag in his hand and sank into the bottom of the water. After another bag of cigarettes, he stretched out a giant black hand. He quickly handed the black flag to Hei's hand, and the black water sank into the bottom of the water.
Not long after, huge waves were rolling on the water. Under the rolling of the huge waves, the boat was like a small boat, with the possibility of falling over at any time.Seeing this scene, Lao Zhang thought to himself: It seems that this water dividing arrow is the local treasure of the river and a lucky star. If this old Taoist takes this water dividing arrow away, it is probably a flood, and we will all be buried in the fish's belly.
Thinking of this, he made up his mind. Not long after, a white hand stretched out, but Lao Zhang handed him a yellow flag. As soon as the white giant hand got the yellow flag, it was like an oil star splashing in the water, and quickly threw the yellow flag aside. He spread his palms again, as if he was asking for a white flag. This time, Lao Zhang's head handed him a green flag. His giant hand was furious and stretched out his hand to press the boat into the water to drown Lao Zhang's head. When Lao Zhang saw that the situation was not right, he quickly rowed a boat and fled to the shore.
He stood on the shore. The scene just now scared him and his heart thumped. He saw the white water comparing a middle finger towards him and another fist. He did not retreat for a long time. Suddenly, a dragon head jumped out of the bottom of the water, swallowing the giant hand into his stomach, and disappeared.
Since the giant hand disappeared, the water surface has returned to calm. The previous warlock floated on the water surface, motionless, as if he had passed away.
Do you think Lao Zhang did this, right?
