In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a family in Xijiazhuang, and the head of the family, Li Meng, was bitter and mean, and he would never spare the flower thieves. The landlord's house rented a few acres of melon land, and when the watermelons were about to ripen in the summer, Li Meng would set up a tent in the melon field to watch the melons.
This year, the weather was hot during the day, and there was a hint of cool breeze in the evening. Li Meng shook the pu fan, looked at the melon field in front of him, and couldn't help but be very happy.
A batch has been sold, and a lot of copper plates have been earned. You can't go wrong looking at this year's harvest. Make up a little more, hand over the rent, and take care of the rest.
Lying in the tent, tossing and turning, I couldn't sleep, and wanted to drink water from the well not far away.
Li Meng got up and walked out of the tent, and when he was about to reach the well, he saw two figures shaking in front of him.
Li Meng was shocked, this is a thief who stole watermelons, although a few watermelons are not worth much, but they can't be taken for nothing.
Picking up the thick wooden stick on the ground and walking over, I heard the two people chatting when I got closer.
Brother, don't drink it, it's important to find a fairy melon. "A thin man keeps pulling the fat man who is drinking water.
The fat man looked impatient and said, "I've been looking for almost an hour, is there a score for this." ”
That's what the old tree head said, he said that on the night of the full moon, the third watch. When you see a watermelon with bright spots, you can increase your longevity for a hundred years after eating. ”
The fat man snorted a few times after drinking enough water, got up impatiently and followed the thin man towards the melon field.
Fairy melon? Li Meng, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but be surprised, there will be fairy melons growing in my field?
It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. Quietly followed behind the two people, only to see that the two people just knocked the watermelon one by one, and did not destroy it. After a while, the two of them walked out of the melon field and walked into the distance.
Li Meng also knocked on them one by one, and couldn't help shaking his head, bored.
What Li Meng didn't see was that a pig and a monkey were a** him in the distance.
The next day, Li Meng thought about last night's incident and came to the melon field to check. Seeing that there was nothing abnormal, I looked at the watermelon again and knocked on nothing special. When I returned to the tent, I saw two people, one fat and one thin, sitting inside.
Is there anything wrong with the two of you? ”
Nothing, just want to wrap all the watermelons in your melon field. As he spoke, he took out an ingot of silver and handed it to Li Meng.
Only then did Li Meng know that the fat and thin in front of him must be the two people who talked last night.
Okay, two. If you want to wrap a watermelon patch, you have to say why. ”
The two glanced at each other, and the thin man said, "Don't hide it from my brother, in order to quench our thirst, we wrapped a watermelon field to eat conveniently." ”
Li Meng thought to himself, you fool the ghost, the ghost doesn't believe it.
I couldn't help but smile on my face, "Okay, let's do it for both of you." ”
After taking the silver, he didn't lose himself anyway, so Li Meng decided to come and see the situation at night.
At night, the moonlight shines brightly on the watermelon. One fat and one thin still knocking on the watermelon, sometimes stopping to look at it for a while.
Finally, the two of them returned to the tent with a watermelon in their hands.
Li Meng approached the tent and listened quietly to the conversation between the two men.
Our brothers sent the fairy melon to the old tree in the west of the village, and each of us got fifty years of life, what a beautiful thing. ”
yes, get some sleep and go back tomorrow. ”
After a while, there was a snoring sound from inside the tent, and Li Meng secretly took the watermelon and quietly exited the tent.
It is better for each person to live for 50 years, than for me to live for 100 years.
Walk to the old locust tree at the west end of the village and place the watermelon in front of the tree.
After a while, a large hole was opened in the locust tree, and light shone through it. Li Mengle entered the tree hole, and then the tree hole was closed. After a while, two little demons appeared, found two pills in front of the locust tree, and left happily.
Since then, Li Meng has never appeared again, and people think that he has gone to other places, but only his family persistently searched.
Invited the Taoist Qian who was quiet and quiet, and the Taoist said: "Li Meng's donor was coaxed by the monster and entered the tree hole, and now he has turned into a pair of dry bones. That locust tree has swallowed a lot of people, and it will become the climate in a few days.
And those two monsters have deceived many people, and they are currently looking for their traces. ”
In the end, the family set up a mound for Li Meng, and all the villages knew about Li Meng. The two little demons were also wiped out by Qian Daochang and others, and the locust tree in the west of the village was also burned by fire.
Li Meng had no chance to correct it due to greed.
