years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a man named Wang Xiaoer in Tongchuan Prefecture . He had the skill of burning bowls and made a living through it all his life. Every time he refined, he would pull the roasted bowls to the market to sell.
Since Wang Xiaoer's family is far away from the market, every time he wants to go to the market, he will get up before dawn and prepare, and then go to the market. In this way, Wang Xiaoer has long been used to this business in the past ten years.
Every time Wang Xiaoer goes out, he still feels very happy because his wife will send her out every time and tells him to be careful on the way.
Every time I go to the market, Wang Xiaoer will drive his car along the mountain and dirt road to the market. It's really a day-to-day trip, but there's nothing I can do, just to make a living. When he arrived at the market, it was dawn.
As Wang Xiaoer goes to the market to sell bowls all year round, there are fixed stalls, which are also very familiar with the small vendors in the market.
The business of selling bowls will be more prosperous by the end of the year, because every family has to buy new bowls to prepare for the New Year. As for normal times, the business is really careless.
But for Wang Xiaoer, he can still have enough food and clothing.
Every day, Wang Xiaoer set up a stall and sat and waited for the customer to come to the door, and sold some of them in scattered manner. When the market was dispersed and everyone was almost gone, Wang Xiaoer started to close the stalls, and it was dark again when he walked home.
On this day, Wang Xiaoer drove the carriage home. When he reached the forest along the way, he walked out of the forest by the roadside.
When he saw a few children, Wang Xiaoer was shocked and hurriedly stopped the carriage and thought to himself, "Whose child is this? He won't go home if he is so late."
Wang Xiaoer is also a kind-hearted person. Thinking of this, he parked the carriage, got out of the carriage, walked to the children and asked, "It's dark, why haven't you come home yet?"
The children said in a lingering manner: "We came out to play late. Now we want to go home, but we are very tired and can't walk anymore. Can you take us a while?" Then, one of the children said the route they were going home again.
Wang Xiaoer heard this and found that the route these children were going to take was exactly the same, so he asked several children to get on the carriage.
Several children shouted excitedly and climbed onto the carriage in a few seconds.
Wang Xiaoer drove the carriage and continued to move forward.
On the way, Wang Xiaoer chatted with several children and asked, "Whose children are you?"
The children chattered and then signed up for the family.
Wang Xiaoer listened to the children's registration, and felt that they were very familiar with each other, but they didn't know each other, so he didn't ask any more questions and kept sending the children to the entrance of the village and letting them get out of the car.
After getting off the car, a few children said thank you to Wang Xiaoer, and then ran to the village with a laugh.
Wang Xiaoer sat in the carriage and kept watching the children running into the village. Then he continued to drive the carriage to his home.
When Wang Xiaoer returned home, he cleaned up and went to bed.
On the second day, Wang Xiaoerben was going to Tongchuan Mansion to go to the market to sell bowls, but until it was dawn, he had not thought about bed.
At this moment, my wife felt a little strange, so she woke up Wang Xiaoer who was still sleeping.
When Wang Xiaoer was woken up by his wife, he was shocked when he saw the sky. He didn't understand why he had overslept and had actually slept until this time.
For a moment, he was so anxious that he quickly got up and dressed. He didn't even have time to wash his face, so he was about to go out.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, my wife advised, "Old man, if she is not in good health, I won't go to the market today. You see, it's getting late, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it for a long time now."
Wang Xiaoer didn't listen to his wife's words, and still put on the carriage, loaded the refined bowl, and went out to the Tongchuan Mansion Market.
When he arrived at the market, it was already dawn.
After parking the carriage, Wang Xiaoer started selling bowls, but it took a full morning, but it didn't cost much.
When it was noon and it was time for lunch, Wang Xiaoer went to a familiar bun stall to eat buns.
When eating buns, sitting at the same table with him was Li Sansuan, who was writing fortunes and telling people at the market.
While the two were chatting, Li Sansuan said, "Wang Xiaoer, your complexion looks wrong. I don't think you look very good. You haven't encountered anything, right?"
"What can I do? Maybe I'm tired from going to the market these days, after all, I'm old." Wang Xiaoer continued to eat his own buns as he said.
In fact, Wang Xiaoer has no good impression of Li Sansuan. Must be, he doesn't believe in fortune telling.
So, Wang Xiaoer didn't take what Li Sansuan said to heart.
After lunch, Wang Xiaoer returned to the carriage and continued to sell bowls.
Because he got up late, Wang Xiaoer set up some more time in the market. When he rushed home, it was already dark.
That night, when Wang Xiaoer drove the carriage and walked past the place where the children met the day before, he saw the children crawling out of the forest by the roadside again.
After several children appeared, they were the same as the day before, and they wanted to take Wang Xiaoer's car home.
Wang Xiaoer didn't think much about it, so he asked the children to get in the car again. Until the entrance of the village the day before, the children also got out of the car and entered the village.
On the second day, Uncle Wang got up late again and was also in the evening party.
On this day, he actually fell asleep while looking at the stall, and at the same time he felt drowsy and bored.
At noon, when it was time for dinner, Wang Xiaoer met Li Sansuan.
After Li Sansuan saw Wang Xiaoer, he took the initiative to come forward and say hello: "Old Wang, you've eaten all this. Come on, I'll give you something." After that, he took out an object and handed it to Wang Xiaoer.
Wang Xiaoer was worried that Li San would never finish it, so he didn't answer, so he took the thing over and then put it in his top pocket.
On this day, Wang Xiaoer's business was not very good. He just bought and sold it until dark again.
On the way home, Wang Xiaoer was driving the carriage while thinking about what Li Sansuan said in his mind. After
, I suddenly felt a little surprised. I thought to myself, I am in a bad mood these days, so why can I really get involved with something?
He was thinking about it, and the carriage arrived at the place where he met the child. At this time, he saw a few children standing on the side of the road, the ones who were riding his carriage in the first two days.
Strangely, the children standing by the roadside did not run over and get on the carriage happily as before, but stood far away and watched.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xiaoer shouted, "Hey, children, why are you standing so far? Come and get in the car and go home."
However, the children were still standing there and did not climb up onto the car as before.
When Wang Xiaoer was wondering, one of the children said, "We are afraid, we dare not get into your car."
When he heard this, Wang Xiaoer was a little puzzled. But then I thought about it, are those children afraid of what they have in their pockets?
Thinking of this, he took out the talisman paper that Li San calculated. He looked at the talisman paper in his hand and thought to himself, "Even if these children are not humans, they have never harmed me. Didn't they just take a ride?"
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoer threw the talisman paper into the weeds on the roadside. Once the
talisman paper was thrown out, the children climbed into the car happily.
Wang Xiaoer looked at the children with his eyes, but did not find anything wrong, so he sent them to the entrance of the village and watched them enter the village.
In the next few days, Wang Xiaoer was making bowls at home, but he didn't go to the market.
On this day, he went to a place called Liujia Village to deliver the goods. After delivering the goods, unloaded the goods, collected the money, and asked the villagers about Liu Fugui's family.
Because, when the children he sent him to chat, they always talked about the name Liu Fugui.
When Wang Xiaoer asked this, he didn't expect that there was really someone in the village.
So he asked about the five children in the family again.
What’s strange is that when talking about this, the villager was a little vague and was unwilling to explain the situation clearly.
After Wang Xiaoer asked repeatedly, the villager said that Liu Fugui's family did have five sons, but they all died in an accident two years ago.
The villager had no idea why Wang Xiaoer asked about this. He looked at Wang Xiaoer in confusion and started asking.
However, Wang Xiaoer had his own thoughts in his mind, so he didn't say it directly, but responded vaguely, then got up and left.
Wang Xiaoer left Liujia Village and went to the street market to buy some things for daily use. He didn't rush home until the afternoon.
When he was halfway, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and then it started to rain heavily.
The place he is at this time, there is no village or shop in front of the village. For a moment, Wang Xiaoer had to wave his whip hard and shout to make the animals run faster.
Only in this way can he return home quickly.
The animal was hurt by the boots, so he ran forward.
said by chance, while halfway through, a rabbit suddenly popped out of the grass.
As soon as the rabbit appeared, the animal was frightened and ran away like crazy.
Wang Xiaoer was very anxious and hurriedly pulled the rope, but he couldn't hold it any longer.
The carriage was moving forward rapidly. When passing a bend, the wheels slipped and fell down the dirt slope on the side of the road.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoer thought it was too late to get off the car, so he felt that the wheels were sliding down.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoer sighed in his heart: "It's over, this time it's over, everyone and the car will go downhill, and even if he doesn't die, he will be disabled."
Just when he felt that the car was about to be completely out of control, the car suddenly stopped.
Wang Xiaoer was shocked and then looked back.
At this moment, he saw the children who had been taking his car home these days were pulling the carriage hard.
At this time, Wang Xiaoer knew that these children had already died, but at this time he was at a critical moment of life and death. He didn't care about it, raised his whip and sucked the animals hard. It took him tense of his efforts to drive the car to the slope.
Wang Xiaoer escaped from death. After parked the car, he wanted to go over and see how the children were doing.
But when he walked over to the bottom of the dirt slope, he found that there were children there, only a few tablets that were trapped in the mud barrie.
Wang Xiaoer saw several scattered tablets, and he didn't care about the mud and jumped down the dirt slope, so he picked up several tablets and wiped off the mud and water on it.
Seeing the words on the tablet, Wang Xiaoer knew that these tablets belonged to the child of Liu Fugui's family.
So, Wang Xiaoer brought the tablet to Liu Fugui's house, handed the tablet to Liu Fugui, and told him what happened.
Liu Fugui also found this incident a bit incredible. The couple lost their children and offered tablets at home, but how could they be in the dirt slope?
As for the woods where Wang Xiaoer meets them every day, it is the place where several brothers often go to play during their lifetime.
Wang Xiaoer still rushes animals to Tongchuan Prefecture to go to the market every day. When he sees people in trouble, he will still reach out to help.
He often says, "As for people, you must do more good things and believe that good people will always be rewarded."
