The truth of the oil seller's fear
No, maybe what you saw was a short story adapted by an oil seller.
Chapter 1-Oil Weng
The story happened in the Northern Song Dynasty. As an ordinary oil seller in Happiness Village, Zhao Ruihua never imagined that he would experience things that ordinary people could not imagine.
"Cui Cui, I went out to sell oil." Zhao Ruihua picked up the oil pot and said to his wife.
His wife put a coat on him, touched his face and said, "I don't know how to wear it thicker in cold weather." Come back early. " Cui Cui a face of spoil, kissed Ruihua's cheek.
"Wow ~" There was a baby crying in the room. That's their child.
"The child woke up, I went to feed him. Be careful on the road. " Cui Cui turned and walked to the back room.
"I see." Ruihua closed the door and left.
In the vegetable market, Ruihua quickly found his own small booth, put the oil pan on the ground, sat on the ground and shouted skillfully.
"Sell oil! This oil is not other oil, this oil is magic oil, this oil is Arowana one-to-one corn blending oil! Use it, you can eat it, and your body is great! " Ruihua shouted confidently, swinging a spoon and looking up. Yu Guang didn't forget to glance at passers-by to see who was dressed beautifully, so he stopped to sell.
As dusk approaches, Ruihua has packed up the booth and is ready to go home.
"I made 20 coppers today, and finally saved enough money to buy Cui Cui her favorite sachet." Ruihua raised her eyebrows and her eyes were full of happiness. You can see how much he loves his Cui Cui.
Ruihua took the copper coins in his hand and walked to the small stall selling sachets with a frying pan. He danced and danced, imagining Cui Cui's surprise when he saw the sachet. Ruihua is very happy.
Chapter 2-Good marksmanship
At this time, in Chen Yaozi's backyard, he is practicing archery.
A whoosh
An arrow pierced the sky, drew a beautiful arc and hit the red heart of the distant target.
"wow! Boss! Right in the heart! You are amazing! " The thin, tall man in black standing by is Chen Yaozi's bodyguard, named Marmoset. At this moment, he is kissing Chen Yaozi's ass.
"Yes, yes, the boss's archery is chinese odyssey." The fat and depressed one next to the big monkey is Li. Similarly, he is Chen Yaozi's bodyguard, and he kowtows.
Chen Yaozi cold hum 1. With disdain and pride in his eyes, he turned and pulled out an arrow, saying while drawing a bow.
"My archery is you mortals can evaluate? Hey! "
Then "sou" an arrow flew out and hit the heart again. Those two idiots are still clapping their hands and boasting mindlessly.
"I can assure you that there is absolutely no second person in the world who can shoot as well as our boss!" A Malaysian monkey said with his head held high behind Chen Yaozi.
"Yes, yes, there is no second person." Li answered in the back.
"In the field of archery, the boss is the existence of God!" The monkey continued.
"Yes, yes, the existence of God." Li still replied.
"Li! Can you stop talking like me! " The monkey turned and slapped Li.
Li was slapped when he was deleted. He must be unhappy. He punched the monkey in the face and said, "You obviously robbed me."
Not to be outdone, the monkey stepped forward and said, "Hey! I'm not arrogant, you really think I'm Hal! "
The two men immediately wrestled together, and the scene was out of control.
"All right!" Chen Yaozi in anger, two people dare not move at once, standing in situ.
"You two, go and pull down the arrow for me and show it to me!" Chen Yaozi ordered.
"Yes," and then they clamored for an arrow. Don't forget to quarrel on the way.
Chapter III-Meeting
Ruihua happened to pass by at this moment, so he put down the frying pan and looked up. Seeing Chen Yaozi shoot an arrow nine times out of ten, he just smiled and nodded slightly. Chen Yaozi saw it, so he drank wine and said, "Do you know archery? Isn't my marksmanship superb? "
The horse monkey also replied: "Yes, smelly boy! Dare to say that our boss is not a good marksman, you are afraid that he is as blind as a bat! "
Ruihua said unhurriedly with a calm demeanor: "In my opinion, it's nothing. Just skillful! "
Chen Yaozi was shocked. No one has ever said that he is inferior to archery. He flew into a rage and pointed to Ruihua and said, "Bold! How dare you ordinary people despise my shooting? Somebody, drag those twenty boards down! Don't! Two hundred boards! " After that, Qi Tian and Li went out with Ruihua. At this point, Ruihua shouted:
"Wait a minute! If you don't believe me, I will prove it to you myself! "
"oh? I want to see what you can do! Let him go! "
Ruihua jilted to jilt the arm injured by the guards, but also stared at the horse monkey and two dog, picked up the oil pot and put it on the ground, and covered it with a copper coin. Then, slowly pour the oil into it with a spoon. A spoonful of oil went down, but the copper plate didn't touch a drop of oil. Ruihua proudly said, "Look! It's just a matter of familiarity. "
Macaque and two dog were dumbfounded, and Chen Yaozi was surprised, but he didn't dare to show it. Then pretend to be calm gave a said to Ruihua:
"Well, I see, you go,"
Ruihua packed her things, so she didn't stay long because she was going to buy sachets. But is Chen Yaozi the kind of person who can swallow his pride? Ruihua walked out of more than ten steps, and Chen Yaozi drew a bow and shot at Ruihua. Ruihua felt a chill behind him. When he turned around, he saw that the arrow had hit his oil tank. Oil splashed all over him. Ruihua is also in a cold sweat.
"What a pity! You only told me that I am familiar with my hands, but you didn't tell me that even if I am familiar with my hands, I sometimes make mistakes! "
Ruihua immediately ran away, listening to the laughter of Chen Yaozi and the two bodyguards behind him, but did not dare to make any noise.
The fourth chapter-broken
Ruihua ran to the store selling sachets in one breath, but still had a lingering fear. He hurriedly said to the wife of shop-owner:
"Boss, I used to like the sachet, but now I have enough money. Sell it to me."
"hey! Isn't this the poor oil seller? I'm really sorry, that sachet has already been bought. " The proprietress said in disgust.
"what! Didn't you promise to leave it to me? " Ruihua said angrily.
"You are so poor, who knows when you can save enough money? Since someone buys it, why don't I sell it? I don't make money? "
Ruihua has a blank face. He wants to hit the boss's wife, but he can't, because he doesn't care and has no right. He didn't speak and turned away. He seems to have lost his soul. After he almost died, he didn't buy it as a sachet. He staggered home and pushed through the door.
"Wife, I'm back."
He took off his coat, put away the frying pan and went into the back room. But the next scene, he never thought. The room was in a mess, and all the things and furniture were smashed to pieces. Walking into the back room, the ground was covered with blood! Cui Cui was lying in a pool of blood. Their child was suffocated by rags. He knelt on the ground, holding his wife on the ground and shouted:
"Cui Cui! What happened to you! Wake up! Wake up. "
He just kept kneeling on the ground and couldn't believe what he saw. No one knows what happened that day, and neither does Ruihua. It's just that when I saw him again, he was wandering in the street like a beggar, wearing rags and drinking wine. He has experienced all this, which he never thought of. Who would have thought? A happy family is broken like this. He hates the injustice of life, he hates the incompetence of heaven, but what can he do? Just drown my sorrows in wine.
Chapter V-Wandering
Sitting in a pub brewing sadness, who closes his eyes. Walking in the dim light without starlight, lingering with the night. Open the face of time, or the lonely boy. Indulge in disturbing pictures, people come and go, drifting away. He is always cautious and humble, with his back to the sad city and talking to himself about the future. He condescended to the rich man's crotch just to beg for a glass of wine that would relieve his sorrow. Warm and cold wine glasses, wandering good demons. He didn't shed a tear, but was surrounded by heavy rain. Ignite a broken dream and look into Hong Fei's eyes scattered by time. Out of reach, embracing each other from a distance. They met when prosperity failed. Let's play a game of ashes, believing that horses will float away the reins for the rest of their lives. He never tells his story to anyone, and no one wants to hear it.
He always said that nothing mattered, but he turned his back on the crowd and broke his cup.
One day, a scholar came to the pub. He cried and ordered five Jin of white wine. Shouted while drinking:
"Why! My wife will be taken away by that damn Chen Yaozi! Oh, my God, open your eyes! To punish those demons! "
"It's already dead! Otherwise, who wants to be the devil! " Ruihua shouted while drinking wine in the corner.
"Then I will punish the wicked myself!" The scholar broke the glass and said.
"Give it up, you are unbeaten rich, it is better to forget her, heartless happy life! Ha ha, "Ruihua came and picked up the scholar's hip flask and said over coffee.
"Come on, why smile! Even if you cry, you will cry after all! Since heaven is indifferent, I will end this day! I want to be myself! " Scholar nu way.
"Even if you are you, the world will not change at all! The law of the jungle, this is the law of the world! He is always unfair! " Ruihua put down his hip flask and gave a meaningful speech to the scholar.
"In the face of such an unfair world, why should I follow its laws!" The boy patted the table and said.
"Because if you don't follow its rules, you can't survive!" Ruihua also broke out and roared at the scholar.
"Then I might as well die!" The scholar almost collapsed and roared with tears.
The air in Ruihua has calmed down. He put his hand on the scholar's shoulder and said.
"You know, the most terrible thing is not the injustice of this world, but that you don't know if the next world will be like this!"
"However, even the person you love most is dead. Even if you die, what can you miss? " Scholar low head, hoarse voice said to himself.
This casual remark shocked Ruihua. Life devours a person's heart, and the last tear shed by everyone is black. The last drop of blood is colorless.
"Yes, there is nothing to miss!" Ruihua said to himself.
Chapter VI-Liberation
Ruihua no longer goes to that pub. He found a blacksmith and made a knife. I bought a black seat again. From then on, he squatted in front of Chen Yaozi's house every day.
So day by day passed, and the days were still the same. Ruihua also stands there every day, but never makes any noise.
Late one night
"Ah-"
"Give it back to my wife!"
The next day, a man with six doors pushed open the door of Chen Yaozi's house.
"Six investigations!" The chief catcher took out his token and said.
Behind the door, Ruihua is sitting next to Chen Yaozi's body, leaning on his knife and drinking wine.
"Waiting for you for a long time! Haha! " Ruihua said with a smile.
Go back with him to catch the leaders, looking back a little quickly and casually, quietly underestimate the way:
"Strange, why is there no blood on that knife?"
A few days later, at the food market. Ruihua was caught by the big knife rest and didn't cry. He just responded:
"Even so, I am willing to go dark! Cui Cui, son, I'm here to stay with you. Ha ha ha ha "
If the light forgot to illuminate the front, would you hold her hand?
If this road leads to an unknown place, will you go with her?
If life has completely forgotten us, will you still insist on ending with her?
Life is too short, a moment is so long that we wake up crying and forget it.
Like floating in the air, tiny, some dust.
Why, why, it won't stop.

English translation practice is perfect
Idiom Story Once upon a time, there was a man named Su named Yao Zi. His archery was superb, and chinese odyssey. Therefore, he is very proud and often boasts about his skills. "Ha, ha, ha, my archery is unparalleled. Who wants to compare with me? "
"Master, you are so talented, how can we compare with you!" "Yes, we need to learn from you, learn! Master, please perform it again and let us open our eyes! " These young people who want to learn archery from Chen Yaozi say some compliments every day to make him happy.
One day, Chen Yaozi and his apprentice practiced archery in the yard. An old man selling oil happened to pass by and stopped to watch.
Chen Yaozi raised his bow, hitched an arrow, and shot ten arrows in a row, each of which hit the heart. The disciples applauded beside him, and Chen Yaozi proudly said to the old man, "What do you think?" The old man just nodded slightly and didn't applaud.
Chen Yaozi was very uncomfortable and asked him rudely, "Hey, can you shoot arrows, too?" "So my arrow is not good?" "Good is good, but it's just an ordinary technology. It's no big deal." "What are you talking about, old man? It is a shame to insult our host. Do you know that our master's archery is unparalleled? You look down on people. "
"Young man, don't be angry, I'm telling the truth. Your archery is really average, there is nothing to boast about. " "Old man, you sound like an expert. Let's have a look at your hand. If you are not convinced, it is better than painting. What's the use of talking and not practicing! " "Brother, I don't have this archery. Let me pour oil for you." "Pour oil, still need this old man to perform? Stop joking! " "You'd better wait and see."
The old man said, put a gourd on the ground and put a copper coin with a hole in its mouth. Then he scooped up a spoonful of oil, and the spoon tilted slightly. Oil flows like a thin yellow line from the money hole into the gourd. After pouring, the oil didn't touch the copper coin at all.
The old man said modestly to Chen Yaozi: "This is just an ordinary technology, that is, practice makes perfect!" Chen Yaozi felt ashamed, so he practiced archery harder and never dared to boast about his archery again. Later, his character was as good as archery.
