When the shopkeeper returned home, he took his old mother and wife and fled outside.
The wife saw that the peddler looked strange, so she asked him what happened?The shopkeeper said the prefect's words again.
At midnight on the third day, the wife shook the gourd.
After a while, a blue bird flew over with a silver needle in its mouth.
She picked up the silver needle and drew a circle around the small yard, and a clear river suddenly appeared around the yard.
She swung a few more times, building a small bridge.
Then, the blue bird flew away again with the silver needle in its mouth.
At this time, the genius just dawned.
The wife woke up her husband, made another hundred catties of noodles, and the two of them carried them to the small bridge outside the gate.The shopkeeper saw that the yard was surrounded by clear water, and the small bridge was also erected on the small river.
He saw his wife grab a piece of noodles, pinch a fish, put it in the water, and the little fish swam away.
So he also bent down, pulled a piece of noodles, squeezed it into a fish, and put it in the water without moving.
While laughing at him, his wife picked up the immobile fish, put it on her mouth and blew it, and then put it into the water, and the fish also swam into the deep water in a flutter.
In this way, they squeezed a whole hundred fish, and the genius was brilliant.
As soon as the young couple turned around and went back to the house, the prefect came with his entourage.The prefect was stunned when he saw it: small bridges and flowing water, such a precious land should naturally belong to me.
But it's a bit too much to be direct and strong, so he casually finds some troubles and asks him to hand it over obediently.
When the prefect thought of this, he asked the shopkeeper to fish out the fish in the river and weigh them.
According to his wife's instructions, the shopkeeper cast a net on the east side of the bridge, and a hundred fish came up, including one white fish.Weighed, all strips weighed one catty.
The eunuch couldn't fault it, and wanted to get the small manor and the shopkeeper's wife.
If you fail to make a plan, you have another plan.
He called the shopkeeper to him: "Shopkeeper, within three days, you can build a green hill behind the small manor."
The shopkeeper naturally knew that he couldn't do it, but the eunuch insisted on pressing him, and in the end he could only kneel down in front of the eunuch, not daring to vent his anger: "Master, I would like to pile up that green mountain within three days."
The prefect chuckled: "Okay, if you don't make a mountain within three days, you have to give me the manor and your wife. It's a deal."
The salesman knelt on the ground and kowtowed. When he looked up, the eunuch had already gone away with his troops.
The shopkeeper returned home, frowning.His wife asked him what happened again.
The shopkeeper told his wife about the eunuch forcing him to build mountains.
One day passed, and two days passed.On the third day, the shopkeeper ran to the back of the house to check, but there was not even a slope.
In the middle of the night, the wife took out the gourd and shook it three times, and after a while, the blue bird flew again.
She told Qingniao about the eunuch forcing her family to build a mountain, and Qingniao flapped its wings and lifted a green mountain in the distance.
The blue bird leads the way, while the green mountain flies behind.
In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the shopkeeper's place, put down the green mountain, and went back to Kunlun Mountain without stopping.
At this time, it was dawn too.
The shopkeeper didn't sleep all night, and when he heard the rooster crowing three times, he quickly got out of bed and went to the back of the village to see, sure enough, there was a green hill behind the yard.This time, he finally felt at ease.
At dawn, the prefect came again with his troops.
He saw that there was indeed a green hill behind the manor, half-embracing the manor like two arms, with mountains and water.
His ideas fell through again.
But when a person falls into an extremely strong state.
There are always more ways than difficulties.
He turned his head and thought of another idea.
He ordered the yamen servant to call the shopkeeper, and said, "Shopkeeper! You have done the first two things. If you can do the third thing, you will not be judged again."
The shopkeeper said, "Excuse me, my lord, what is the third item?"
The prefect said: "Can you get me a 'ridiculous' immediately?"
The salesman thought to himself: God, who has seen what "ridiculous" looks like?He said to the prefect: "The villain can't do it."
The prefect said: "If you can't do it, give me your wife and this manor as soon as possible."
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, his wife ran over and said, "It's done."
When the eunuch saw how good-looking the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law was, he frowned and said, "Madam, can you do it?"
The wife said, "I can do it. But I have two conditions."
The prefect said: "What conditions?"
The wife said calmly: "First, the soldiers you lead should be lined up in two teams and stand on the bridge without moving; second, only you are allowed to watch the 'ridiculous'."
The prefect thought to himself, even if you made "ridiculous", I would not give up, so I agreed at that time.
The wife entered the house, brought a red-hot pan, put it in front of the eunuch, and said, "Look, my lord, the 'ridiculous' is here."
The eunuch bent down to take a look, and saw a big girl with greasy hair and pink noodles in the pan.The prefect said, "It's ridiculous."
The girl in the griddle smiled at him.The more the eunuch watched, the more tempted he became, he couldn't help stretching out his old face to kiss the girl in the griddle.As soon as he touched the surface of the griddle, there was a "chi la" sound, and his beard was roasted.
The wife held back her laughter and asked, "Master, is it ridiculous?"
The prefect covered his mouth and said, "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous; the beard is completely scorched."
As he spoke, he ran to the water to ice his sore face with water.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went to hold the water, an old dragon opened its mouth and bit him and dragged him into the water.
When the prefect's yamen servants saw that the prefect was gone, they had to settle accounts with the shopkeeper.
It's too late, but it's fast.When the group of people were about to rush over, the wife withdrew her spiritual power, and each soldier and yamen servant fell into the bottomless deep water.
Since then, the shopkeeper's family has lived a stable life.
After Lin Yun finished reading the story, the two looked at each other.
