A peddler lives in Qiushui Town. Wu Lin is thirty years old this year and has lived in this town for five years. It would be right to say that he is an outsider. In fact, his family is in a village twenty miles away.
Just a few years ago, in order to treat my old father, he had no choice but to sell his land at home. As a result, his old father passed away and had no money to redeem the land. He moved out to survive.
After starting odd jobs and saving money for several years, he started working as a peddler.
Not to mention, after becoming a peddler, he really turned his life around and saved some money, so he simply bought a house in the town.
This is the experience of the peddler, an outsider. However, perhaps because he is an outsider, he has lived there for several years, and no one has helped him tell him about his marriage. Now he is still alone.
But he was not in a hurry. With money on hand, he was confident enough. He just wanted to save some money and build a store in the town. In that case, he would not have to go out all day long, regardless of the wind and sun.
It was early in the morning, just as dawn, the peddler got up, after washing up, took up the load, walked out of the town, and when passing by the bun shop, he found that the steamer was steaming, so he walked in.
Fat man was talking to Baozi. When he saw it was him, he smiled and said: Did the peddler go out so early?
The peddler smiled and said: "Aren't you the same? In order to make a living, you have to go out early and come back late. Let me have five buns."
The fat man was extremely enthusiastic and bought five buns and handed them over. This was the meal for the peddler. He was alone and too lazy to do it. He bought every meal, which was convenient.
carrying the cargo load and following the familiar road, the goal this time is not a nearby village and town. I have been walking hard recently, and my business seems to be much worse. I plan to go further this time.
Until noon, I finally reached the goal of this trip. It was a town that was 40 miles away from my home. Wanglong Town . Although it was just a town, it had a population of tens of thousands, and the scale was quite large.
After walking around the streets, it sold very well. With a smile, I looked at the sky and rushed back quickly.
This is not the first time I have come here, it’s just too far away. It’s only two or three times in a month. It’s actually quite familiar.
Follow the path in memory and go back.
It was getting late, I was anxious, my feet were fast, but as I walked, my stomach suddenly started to scream. The peddler looked ugly, covered his stomach, showing a discomfort.
There are woods on both sides, and after looking at it, there was no one, so he carried the load and walked towards the woods on one side.
After all, it is still during the day, and the peddler plans to make it easier, so try to go inward.
Not long after walking, it was a slightly empty place, and it was quite far from the road. Put down the cargo load and prepare to find a place to facilitate it.
But just as he was about to squat down, the moment he looked up, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
Not far away, there was a person hanging on the branches of a big tree. Judging from her clothes, it was obvious that she was a young woman.
The woman was struggling at this moment, obviously not dead yet, that is to say, she probably just hung up.
Regardless of the abdominal pain, the peddler rushed over directly, and in just a moment, he arrived under the tree and held the woman's legs.
The woman who was struggling immediately stretched out her hands and pulled the rope for hanging, and was then carried down by the peddler.
The woman's face turned pale and she coughed continuously. The peddler didn't move, staring at the woman.
After a long time, the woman finally recovered, and the peddler asked: I wonder why the girl couldn't think about it, so she looked for a short opinion here?
The woman heard this and burst into tears. When the peddler saw this, he quickly comforted her: If there is anything difficult for a girl, maybe she can help me.
Hearing this, the woman seemed to have thought of something and quickly said: Thank you, my husband for saving my life, but please let me go quickly, it’s dangerous here.
The peddler heard this and wondered: What does this mean?
The woman swept around with a look of horror and said: To be honest, my grandfather took me here to find relatives. When passing by, who would have thought that a big snake suddenly rushed out, swallowed my grandfather and ran away. I had no relatives, and my grandfather died again. What's the point of saying I'm still alive?
After hearing the woman say it, the peddler understood and said with doubt: Do you think there is a big snake here?
The woman seemed very frightened and nodded and said: Yes! You can leave quickly! If the big snake comes out and eats you in one bite, I will feel uneasy.
The peddler said nothing: Don’t worry! I have my own means. In which direction did the big snake run?
The woman was still in shock. She identified the direction and pointed to the east. When the peddler saw it, she took a pack of realgar powder from the load, and walked over from the load.
When the woman saw her, she was frightened, but she couldn't help but follow her.
Practitioners have been farmers since childhood. They are often involved in fishing and catching crabs and catching snakes, so they are brave and are not afraid of these things.
Following the traces, I soon found a dead tree. Here I saw a giant python, huddled in the middle of the roots of the dead tree, with a raised belly, obviously in the shape of a person.
The woman also saw it and immediately exclaimed. The peddler covered her mouth and signaled her not to speak. However, the woman's tears rolled down, and she was obviously anxious and sad.
The giant python had seen the peddler and the woman and was about to move immediately, but because there was food in his belly, it was inconvenient to move.
The big head of the giant python was facing the two, and the core protruded several feet long, which was particularly scary.
The peddler was also shocked. It was the first time he had seen such a big snake when he grew up so big, but he had experience and threw the realgar in his hand directly over.
When the giant python touched the realgar, it suddenly became anxious, but its body was heavy and its movements were restricted.
The peddler had an idea in his mind when he saw this.
picked up the knife and moved the giant python to approach. When the giant python saw him coming, he opened his mouth and wanted to bite it.
The peddler was quick-eyed and his hands were quick, and he actually avoided it. The dagger slashed the abdomen of the giant python.
A blood line burst out, and the giant python suddenly trembled in pain. The peddler approached, expanded the wound, and pulled the woman's grandfather inside out.
, regardless of life or death, ran towards the distance and shouted: Run quickly!
When the woman heard this, she reacted from her stupid state and ran away with her.
The giant python's belly was opened by a dagger, and blood flowed, and he no longer had the ability to move.
arrived at the safe area. The peddler placed the woman's grandfather on the ground and wiped it. Seeing that there was no movement, the peddler frowned and took out some sesame oil from the peddler and placed it at the end of the old man's nose.
Sure enough, just a moment, the old man actually sneezes and woke up.
The peddler finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. The old man swallowed in his mouth should be in a state of fake death.
When the woman saw this, she burst into tears and laughed, hugging her grandfather and laughed.
The old man had not reacted yet. After a while, the peddler took the old man and the woman back to his home.
The old man’s grandchildren are homeless, so they live with the peddler with peace of mind.
A few days later, the woman married the peddler, and since then the peddler also started a family and started a business. Unexpectedly, by chance, he saved the woman and became his wife. This is fate.
The story is over!
