In the evening, when Wang Yuanbao came home from his stall, he stepped into the gate and yelled loudly: "Ah Shan! I heard the person at the door say that the eldest brother is back. Is it true? Why did you leave this morning and leave at night?" You're back, didn't you go?"

Hearing the sound, Ah Shan came out of the house, walked quickly in front of him, and said with a wink, "Brother is back, but for some reason, he has been locked in the room since he came back."

Wang Yuanbao was stunned, and asked Ah Shan, "Didn't you ask him what happened?"

Ah Shan shook his head worriedly and said: "I asked, but he didn't say a word, and he called several times. I can't help it. I want to ask you when you come back."

Wang Yuanbao nodded, waved his hand at Ah Shan, and said, "Go back to your room and rest first, I'll go see what's wrong with Big Brother."

Ah Shan hummed, then turned his head to look at Wang Dabao's room, and then turned back to the room.

Wang Yuanbao lowered his head and thought for a while, then strode to the door of the eldest brother's room, knocked lightly on the door, and asked cautiously: "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

After a while no one answered, Wang Yuanbao asked again: "Brother, what happened?"

Still no one spoke, Wang Yuanbao said anxiously: "Brother, what's the matter, you should also say something, don't keep silent."

Wang Yuanbao was anxious, wondering if he had lost his money, and fearing that his elder brother would do something stupid, he gritted his teeth, kicked open the door, and rushed in.

I saw Wang Dabao sitting on the edge of the bed blankly, his eyes were distracted, and he didn't move.

Wang Yuanbao stepped forward, squatted beside the bed, grabbed Wang Dabao's arm and shook it, and asked, "What's the matter, big brother?"

Only then did Wang Dabao look up at his younger brother, and burst into tears, as if aggrieved or vented.It took a long time before he collected his emotions and told the story with sobs.

It turned out that there were five people traveling with Dabao. One of them, Ma Guang, turned out to be a liar. He stole everyone's money and ran away while eating. back.

That is all of Wang Dabao's net worth, and now he has nothing.

Wang Yuanbao was very angry when he heard this, but he was afraid that his eldest brother would be stimulated again, so he could only comfort others that he was fine, the future will be long, and he will earn more slowly, finally comforting his eldest brother and coaxing him to sleep.

I thought that the eldest brother would let go of it slowly, but two days later, Wang Dabao came back from the outside with some money, and told Wang Yuanbao that he had sold the flower fields and the house, and that he was going to sell silk again, so he gave it a go.

Wang Yuanbao couldn't resist his eldest brother, so he had to agree with him to go, but he had to follow by himself, so the two cleaned up the house and sent them back to the old earthen house outside the city together with Ah Shan.This old earthen house was originally Wang Yuanbao's childhood home.

Before leaving, Ah Shan had tears in his eyes, crying and saying that he would go with him, but Wang Yuanbao refused to let him, fearing that the road would be difficult, so he asked him to wait at home.Then he left some money for Ah Shan, and set off with his eldest brother.

The road to selling silk was very difficult, but fortunately, everyone in the same company could help each other. A month later, the group returned with a few ox carts full of goods.

When passing outside the city of Zizhou, it was snowing heavily.

"Brothers of the Wang family, it's snowing heavily. Everyone has discussed resting outside Zizhou City for a few days. The snowy road is not easy to walk, and I'm afraid that the goods will fall. Everyone asked me to ask if you would like to."

It was Zhao Hu, the leader of the caravan who spoke, who was recommended by everyone because of his seniority and experience.After all, when you are away from home, you must have a backbone who can give orders at critical moments.

Wang Dabao got up and replied: "If you want, it's snowing so much that you can't walk even if you want to, so I'll listen to everyone."

Zhao Hu smiled after hearing this, turned his head and said loudly to everyone: "That's okay, let's go forward. There is a Liuxiang Inn outside the city. The owner and I are old friends. I used to stay there often. Let's go go there!"

A group of people happily agreed, and after a while, they saw the top of the house popping out of the snow. After walking for a while, they saw the whole picture of the inn. It was already covered by heavy snow, and the whole inn was a piece of silver.

Finally arrived at the place, Zhao Hu called Xiao Er to open a room for everyone.A group of people began to unload their respective goods, and took them back to their rooms to rest.

It's freezing all the way, and it's always warm first.Everyone was dawdling while eating, and went downstairs one after another, only to see a bunch of people lying at every window, some were pleasantly surprised, some were sad.

Wang Yuanbao also walked to the window, looking at the snowflakes flying like smoke and mist outside the window, it made people feel a little panicked for no reason.

After watching for a while, he turned his head and sat on the table waiting to eat. Wang Dabao also sat down and said to him in a low voice: "Erlang, we don't know when we can leave. Even if the snow stops today, we still have to go." Rest for another two days, and wait for the ground to dry up a bit."

Wang Yuanbao was also very melancholy, anxious to go back, the closer he got to Shangjing, the more anxious he became, so he said, "I don't know if it's snowing in Shangjing? Ah Shan is at home alone, don't freeze."

When the food was served, Wang Yuanbao ate the hot soup and rice while listening to the storyteller in the inn telling stories vividly.

I was listening vigorously, when I heard my eldest brother ask: "It's really insightful, there are storytellers in this inn."

The shop waiter happened to pass by, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, don't get me wrong, this gentleman also lives in the shop, and he is bored, so I will tell you a few paragraphs. It's freezing cold, and there is only our inn nearby, so we can't go anywhere. "

"I don't know when the snow will stop. It's really annoying." Another person said.

Wang Dabao also said: "Hey, isn't it? It's snowing and cold, and when the weather clears, the road is muddy, which is the most annoying thing."

"I just hope to stop sooner, but it's okay, our store has a lot of food. Don't worry, everyone. Hehe!" Xiaoer said.

"You little girl, let us rest assured, it's like staying in a hotel for free." After speaking, he burst out laughing.

"Let's stop earlier. The snow is too heavy. In previous years, if it snowed for a long time, some poor people would freeze to death and starve to death on the side of the road." The other person sighed again.

For a moment, everyone turned their gazes out of the window, all with preoccupied faces.

Back in the room at night, Xiaoer actually delivered hot water. The two brothers had been running around for many days, and their bodies were smelly and dirty. Although they were exhausted, they cheered up and took a comfortable hot bath.

After taking a shower, the two of them were lying on the bed with their clothes, and after a while they heard Dabao's snoring.Wang Yuanbao didn't fall asleep yet, but after taking a bath, he became much more refreshed, and actually suffered from insomnia.Lying on the bed, I figured that it was not far from Shangjing, and when the weather cleared, I could go back, sell the raw silk again, make a lot of money, then sell the flower fields back, buy another house, sell it again, and sell it again. With money, you can marry Yuniang, which is really beautiful.

Thinking about it, unconsciously fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Wang Yuanbao seemed to hear a noise in the dimness, and he woke up suddenly, and then his ears regained hearing: the sound of tables and chairs being overturned, the sound of chaotic footsteps, begging for mercy, crying, and shouting mixed together.

Wang Yuanbao was a little scared, so he quickly pushed Wang Dabao, and Dabao sat up immediately. He was stunned for a while, and immediately realized that he wanted to run out.

Wang Yuanbao hurriedly stretched out his hand and pushed the elder brother back, and said quickly in a low voice: "This must be a thief, first hide the goods, hurry up!"

After hearing this, Wang Dabao thought it made sense, so he hurriedly stood up with his younger brother, and was about to push the goods into the cabinet and under the bed.As a result, someone opened the door first and rushed in.

Wang Yuanbao saw two people coming in. They were wearing animal skins and wearing fox furs. Each of them had a big knife in his hand. The big knife was illuminated by the moonlight outside the window, reflecting a cold silver light.

He was shocked in his heart, saving his life was the most important thing, so he quickly pulled his elder brother to lie on the ground, motionless, and said in his mouth: "The strong man, spare your life, take away the money, and save a cheap life!"

One of the robbers laughed and said: "It's sensible, stay still, I will spare you from death, if you dare to resist, you will serve with a big knife."

After saying that, the two reached out their hands to Wang Yuanbao and Wang Dabao, took away the few copper coins left on their bodies, and carried away all their raw silk.

Watching their movements, Wang Dabao's eyes were scarlet, and his body moved. Wang Yuanbao could only hold him tightly, and whispered: "Save your life first, it's important to save your life, don't be impulsive."

Finally, after the robbers had left, he heard the inn was not as noisy as before, it was all crying. Wang Yuanbao thought that the robbers must have left, so he got up and prepared to light the lamp.

Unexpectedly, just as Wang Yuanbao stood up, he saw his elder brother rushing out. He was shocked, fearing that he would be hacked by the bandit, so he hurriedly chased him out.

When they chased to the stairs, they heard Wang Dabao yelling loudly: "I'll go and get the goods back, that's all there is, there's nothing more!"

This cry was terrible, and several people around him also rushed out.Wang Yuanbao didn't want to think too much, so he could only run out.I vaguely heard Zhao Hu's voice from behind: "I can't go, I won't be hacked to death, or I will be frozen to death! Come back soon!"

But so what if he heard it, the eldest brother was already red-eyed, and he had to be chased back. Wang Yuanbao ran forward with all his strength following the people in front.

I don't know how long I ran, from night to dawn, the world is getting brighter and brighter, looking up, there are only a few shaking black shadows in front of me...

Wang Yuanbao felt more and more tired. Gradually, he seemed to lose sight of the people in front of him, and walked alone in the white world.

The world gradually becomes illusory, seemingly unreal, unable to see ahead, and unable to retreat.

The fluttering snowflakes fell on his face and he didn't want to melt. Everything around him stopped him from moving forward.

The legs seem to be out of control, one deep kick, one shallow kick, and the only sound in my ears is the sound of snowflakes falling to the ground, rustling, rustling...

I don't know how long I walked in the chaos...

When I woke up again, it was already night after a few days.

Wang Yuanbao opened his eyes weakly, saw a gleam of light in a daze, and vaguely felt a white figure swaying in front of the light.

He exhausted all his strength and wanted to take a deep breath, but found that there seemed to be a big stone on his chest, which was very heavy, oppressing his heart, and it was very difficult to breathe.

do you died?So dim, is it in hell?Who is that figure?

He moved his mouth, wanting to ask the figure, but found that he couldn't even move his mouth, and couldn't make a sound.

Should be dead, right?Why can't I move.

Just as he was about to close his eyes, he seemed to see that figure swaying in front of his eyes, seemed to be smiling at himself, and seemed to be talking to himself, but he couldn't hear anything.

He closed his eyes again helplessly, stop talking, I can't hear, I can't hear anything, and when a person dies, he can't hear anything.

In the haze, Wang Yuanbao felt the warmth around him, and a faint fragrance came to his nostrils, as if there was a hot kang beside him, he leaned on the hot kang unconsciously, and fell into a deep sleep again.

When he became conscious again, he felt a heat flow in his mouth. He moved his mouth, but he still couldn't make a sound, but he could feel that heat flow stopped.

Immediately, a voice seemed to come from far away: "Are you awake? Open your eyes and look at me"

Wang Yuanbao tried his best to open his eyes, but only saw a blurred silver face.He closed his eyes again and slowly, then opened them again, and saw a pair of bright eyes twinkling, and he said softly between his white teeth: "Just wake up, don't die, I will try to save you."

still alive?Wang Yuanbao's pale face and widened eyes filled with tears instantly, and he opened his mouth: "I...big...brother..."

The man leaned down towards Wang Yuanbao and whispered in his ear: "Are you asking about your elder brother? Your elder brother is gone. When I met you, seven people along the way were pulled back. Only you are alive, and the others I was buried in the snow outside the inn."

With a bang, Wang Yuanbao's mind went blank for a moment, his eyes widened, and tears flowed out unstoppably, flowing past his ears, soaking his hair and pillow.

Big Brother is gone?Then why are you still alive?How can you still be alive!

Wang Yuanbao exhaled the last breath from his body for a long time, and for a long time he was unwilling to use any more force, thinking that he would sleep forever and not breathe again.

Until the internal organs in the body protested, squeezed, and throbbed, forcing him to take a deep breath.

Wang Yuanbao fell into a deep sleep again, and he didn't know whether it was sleep or a coma. In the next few days, Wang Yuanbao didn't want to open his mouth again, even if the young man forced him to pull him, he didn't want to swallow a mouthful.

My father and mother are gone, my eldest brother is gone, and all my money and houses are gone.Wang Yuanbao was disheartened and had no desire to survive.

How nice it would be to starve to death like this!Can you see them when you die?

As the time of falling asleep passed bit by bit, Wang Yuanbao still occasionally felt a warmth coming from his mouth, flowing down from his throat and spreading out in his abdomen.

Wang Yuanbao was very angry and bit down hard, trying to bite off his own tongue.Stop feeding and let me die.Don't pull me anymore, let me go, there is nothing worth nostalgic for.

Cursing and resenting in his heart, he struggled to slowly open his eyes, and saw the young man beside him, with a trace of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth under the silver half of his face.

Before he could see clearly, the man turned away from the bed.

In the next few days, Wang Yuanbao was still dazed and delirious, and when he opened his eyes occasionally, he could always see that figure surrounding him and caring for him all day long.

While sleeping and waking up, I can always watch the white-clothed boy wearing a silver mask talking to me. The most frequent thing is: "Are you awake? Are you awake?"

And when he was a little conscious, he would also ask that person: "Who are you?"

The man always said: "I am, I am your fairy brother."

Every time Wang Yuanbao stretched out his hand with difficulty, before lifting it up, the man seemed to know what he was going to do, and pointed to his mask with a slight smile: "Do you want to see it? You can't pick it off. If you pick it off, I will fly away , because I am a god, I came here to save all living beings, I can't die, and you can't die either, we all have to live!"

Wang Yuanbao seemed to be infected by these words, and gradually ignited the desire to live...

The last memory is that day, the snow seemed to have stopped, and the sun shone warmly on him through the window. The man walked to his bed with the sun, looked at his unconscious self, and patted him gently. , Said: "Are you awake? You have to persevere...

Wang Jiaerlang, I still don't know your name...

The injuries on your body are almost healed, why are you still awake?

But I have to go, and the person who picks me up is here.

Don't run so far anymore, you are too weak to travel any farther.

Zizhou is rich in colored glaze, you will be very rich!

Don't die, I'll wait for you to become the richest person, and I'll take refuge in you. "

Then for the last time, the man fed him soup.

I don't know if another day or two passed, Wang Yuanbao became more awake.

He struggled to get up, and saw a half-mask, a bag of silver ingots, a land deed of Liuxiang Inn, and enough water bags and mustard cakes to last for more than ten days.

He picked up the water bag in a daze and drank it vigorously...

Later, when Wang Yuanbao was able to get up and go out, he found that the inn was empty and all the doors and windows were locked except the back door.

Later, he took this bag of gold and silver and went to Zizhou to sell colored glaze!

Six years later, Wang Yuanbao became the first master in the capital.
