Chapter 677 Wang Laoshi
Wang Laoshi, although his name contains the word "old", he is not old at all. He is just kind and simple, even a little dull, honest and a little stupid, so the villagers of Xinghua Village call him "Wang Laoshi".
Wang Laoshi's parents died when he was young, and no one taught him or cared for him. However, this child is simple and honest by nature. Relying on the little surplus money left by his parents, he stumbled all the way and grew up.
It is precisely because this child has no one to teach him and does not know how to farm that he is now penniless at the age of 18. Not only that, the furniture and other things left by his parents before they left him were all given away by him over the years.
Now, the only thing he can do is to brew some apricot wine when the apricot flowers are in full bloom, and pick some apricots when they are ripe, so as to barely survive the winter.
Of course, it is impossible to survive the winter with just these.
Last year, he begged for food all the way and suffered a lot of contempt, so that he could barely survive.
Under the guidance of kind-hearted people, Wang Laoshi has learned to be able to do it. This year, he not only picked a large number of apricot flowers and apricots, but also the harvest in the fields was barely enough to make ends meet.
A hunter that Wang Laoshi had helped told him that June and July are the best time for rabbits to come out for food. If you set traps in soybean fields and peanut fields, you may get a surprise.
Wang Laoshi is a sincere man. He set traps in the soybean fields nearby. What's more, he really caught a few big fat rabbits!
Wang Laoshi was interested at that moment. He pickled and dried a few rabbits with traditional methods that day and saved them.
Then he followed the method, catching rabbits, washing them, pickling and drying them. After dozens of days, Wang Laoshi's face became ruddy.
This kid is sincere. The hunter's original intention was to let him eat the rabbits immediately after catching them. He didn't tell him to pickle them until the New Year. It's only the beginning of July now, and the weather is still hot. How can meat products be stored, let alone until winter!
I guess by then, Laoshi will be in tears.
Fortunately, God rewards hard work, and hard work pays off!
On this day, Wang Laoshi walked towards Liu Er's peanut field on the opposite hillside, where he had set traps.
Behind the peanut field was a corn field, where he also set rabbit traps.
‘Hoo! ’
The snoring sound was particularly clear on the quiet hillside.
“Well, could it be a big rabbit?”
Wang Laoshi did not doubt it, just thought it was a big rabbit, so he jumped all the way excitedly and ran towards the peanut field.
“Huh, no.” Wang Laoshi scratched his head in confusion, not knowing why.
‘Hoo! ’
The snoring sound did not stop, but was covered by the voice of Wang Laoshi, so it was not clear.
“Hey, corn field.”
Wang Laoshi understood and tiptoed to the place where the snoring sound came from, for fear of waking up the sleeping rabbit.
‘A-choo! ’
“Who?” The sudden sneezing sound scared Wang Laoshi, who squatted on the ground and dared not move.
‘Hoohoo! ’
“Well, could it be that the rabbit has become a spirit?”
After waiting for a long time, there was no sound except the snoring sound, Wang Laoshi said to himself.
If it were a normal person, he would have thought that the snoring sound was not from the rabbit, but from a human, but this guy was so stubborn that he thought that the snoring sound was made by the rabbit.
This is no longer honesty, but stupidity!
Yes! Who would give all his things to others? Who would pickle bacon in the dog days of summer?
Over the years, he has indeed done a lot of things and helped a lot of people, but over the years, only the hunter has instructed him, and the rest of the people have no mercy, do not care about his life or death, and have never appreciated the help they gave him.
And in the eyes of most people, he may just be a fool who doesn’t know anything!
But the law of nature is cyclical, and cause and effect are reincarnated. There is a destiny in the dark!
"Hey, how could someone lie here? Where is my rabbit?" Wang Laoshi asked in confusion, pushing aside the green corn stalks.
What caught his eyes was a young man wearing a dirty rag and dark skin. The young man closed his eyes, snored continuously, and his dark face was full of satisfaction. He would smack his lips from time to time. Next to the young man was the freshly peeled green corn, and there were obvious teeth marks on the corn cobs.
"Uh, a corn thief? Where is my rabbit?"
Wang Laoshi touched his head and said in confusion.
'Ah! '
The young man in his sleep opened his mouth, touched his nose with his hand, turned over, and fell asleep again, but he didn't notice Wang Laoshi who suddenly appeared beside him and made a huge noise.
"Huh, you corn thief, where is my rabbit?" Wang Laoshi turned away from the young man and walked to the other end of the cornfield.
Let the young man lie there.
In a moment, Wang Laoshi picked up a gray rabbit weighing nearly three pounds and ran towards home excitedly.
"Hey! That's not right! Eating raw corn, is he a starving beggar? This person doesn't look like a child from a rich family. What if he is taken away by a wolf here?" Wang Laoshi thought so.
"No, I have to wake him up."
So, Wang Laoshi picked up the rabbit and walked towards the direction of the young man.
"Hey, wake up, the wolf is coming!" Wang Laoshi used his hand to pull the young man and said with a smile.
"Yeah!"
The young man waved his hand, impatiently pulled Wang Laoshi's hand, curled up his body, and fell asleep again, ignoring him.
"Hey! I say you are really ungrateful. I called you kindly, but you are still impatient!" Wang Laoshi put down the rabbit, put his hands on his waist, and shouted at the young man angrily.
However, no matter how Wang Laoshi called, the young man did not respond at all.
"I know, this man is deaf." Wang Laoshi thought for a while and said.
"Deaf man, hey! I actually met a deaf man. If I wake up the deaf man, wouldn't it be a sense of accomplishment?" Wang Laoshi said to himself.
"Well, it should be."
After speaking, Wang Laoshi picked up the rabbit, put the rabbit's tail on the young man's nostrils, and scratched it carefully.
'A sneeze! '
"Oh! You sprayed my face with spit." Wang Laoshi put down the rabbit, wiped his face, and said with resentment.
The young man rubbed his eyes, stretched his body sleepily, and looked at Wang Laoshi, who was squatting beside him and roaring, with a confused look.
The young man's eyes were chaotic, and his face was dark and weak, making people feel like a sickly person at first glance.
But that was from the perspective of a normal person, but in the eyes of Wang Laoshi, it was normal.
You know, Wang Laoshi was still wearing thick clothes at this time!
Now is the dog days of summer! Wearing a thin shirt can make you sweat, let alone wearing thick clothes! But despite this, he didn't feel anything.
