According to legend, a long time ago, there was a rich man who owned many fields, horses and chariots at home, and servants, and lived a comfortable life. When he died, only a young only son inherited his ancestral business.

My son grew up gradually, because he had wealth and lived a happy life, indulging in debauchery all day long. He is generous, charitable and extravagant. A few years later, he spent all the money left by his father. As a result, he had to sell his servants and property to make a living, and then he became penniless. There was no way out, so he had to sell coolies and make a living by doing short-term jobs. A year later, one day, he sat under a wall, waiting for someone to hire him to work. At this time, a well-dressed and kind-looking old man came over and greeted him. He felt strange and asked:

"Old man, do you know me?"

"No, I don't know you, son. But I see that although you are stranded now, there are signs of wealth on you. "

"The old man, this is destiny takes a hand. Do you need to hire me to do this job? "

"Yes, I can invite you to do some simple housework."

"What is it, old man? Tell me. "

"There are ten old people in my family who need to take care of. If you can eat and dress well, I will pay you some extra money besides your salary. Maybe thanks to Allah, you will get everything you have lost! "

"I see, as you say." The youth readily agreed.

"I have one more condition."

"What conditions, please say."

"You must keep a secret. If you see us crying, don't ask why we are crying. "

"Well, old man, I just don't ask."

"Thank God, son, come with me."

So, the old man took the young man to the bathhouse, told him to wash away the dirty things, put on a brand-new cloth, and then took him home.

The old man's home is a solid, spacious and tall house with many rooms, a fountain in the center of the hall, birds and a garden outside. They came to the hall, where the colored marble floor was covered with silk carpets and the golden ceiling was dazzling. There are ten old people in the room, all in mourning, relatively sad and sobbing. Seeing this scene, he felt very strange and wanted to know, but he was silent when he remembered the conditions put forward by the old man. Then the old man gave him a box containing three thousand gold coins and said to him:

"Son, I give you this money to maintain our life, and everything is entrusted to you."

"yes." He happily accepted the entrustment of the old people and began to take care of them.

He carefully arranged their lives, did everything himself and lived with them safely and happily. But within a few days, one of the old people died of illness. They washed the body of his companion and buried it sadly in the back garden.

In the next few years, all these old people died, leaving only one old man and one young man to live alone. A few years later, the old man was critically ill. The young man couldn't help but say to him in shame, "old man, I am diligent in serving you and always careful!" For twelve years, I haven't been lazy. Twelve years is like one day. "

"Yes, my child. You have taken good care of us over the years, and you are really diligent. Now that the old people have passed away, it is not surprising. Sooner or later, we who are alive will go to see God. "

"My master! You are now bedridden and very ill. Can you tell me why you are depressed, sad and crying for a long time at this time? "

"Son, you don't touch me, you don't need to know these things. I pray to God that he will protect mankind and prevent people from living like us. If you don't want to repeat our mistakes, I hope you don't open that door. " He pointed to a door and warned the young man, "If you must know the reason, open the door. When the door opens, you will understand, but you can't escape our disaster. At that time, it will be too late for you to regret it. "

The old man's illness became more and more serious, and finally he died with his eyes closed.

The young man buried his body in the garden with his companions. After that, he was left alone and didn't know what to do. He was at a loss, and the old people attracted him and harassed him. He remembers the old man telling him not to open the door on his deathbed. Driven by curiosity, he was determined to find out. So he skid up, went over and took a closer look. This is a very unique door. There are four Gang Suo on the door and cobwebs on the lintel.

The old man's dying warning warned him that he had to leave that door. However, the feeling of wanting to open the door has been bothering him. He hesitated for seven days. On the eighth day, he couldn't hold on any longer. He said to himself, "God's judgment is inevitable. Everything is meant to be. I must open the door and see what it can bring me. " So he rushed to the door, smashed the lock and pushed the door open.

When the door was opened, a narrow passage appeared. Desperate, he went in. About three hours later, he came to the vast sea. He was surprised and looked around the sea. Suddenly a big eagle fell from the sky, caught him and flew high into the sky. After flying for a while, the eagle landed on an island, left it there and flew away.

He is alone on an isolated island, and there is no way out. One day, he was sitting on the beach lamenting when he suddenly saw a ship far away from the sea, which suddenly gave him hope. He waited in confusion for the boat to approach.

The ship finally landed. When he looked carefully, it turned out to be a boat made of ivory and ebony. The hull is polished with metal, and the ship is equipped with ebony paddles, with ten beautiful girls sitting inside. The girls went ashore together, kissed his hand and said to him, "You are the groom of the Queen!" " "Then a colorful girl approached him, opened the silk bag in her hand, took out a palace dress and a gold crown with jewels, and put it on him. Then, they took him on board and set off with paddles.

The ship was covered with colorful silk mats. He looked at all these gorgeous decorations and beautiful girls and thought he was dreaming. He thought, where are they going to row the boat?

After a while, the ship sailed to the shore.

He looked up, and there were countless military forces on the shore, armed and armored Ming Can. Five good horses were prepared for him, with golden saddles and silver reins, dazzling. He got on one of the horses and let the other four follow, so the horses and chariots were divided into two rows and surrounded him. I saw gongs and drums and flags flying, and they marched forward with a grand ceremony.

He can't help wondering, it's hard to believe this is true.

Walking, I came to a vast area, where stood a palace, surrounded by gardens and dense forests, swift rivers, blooming fragrant flowers and singing birds, and the scenery was beautiful and quiet.

After a while, crowds of people rushed from the palace to the lawn and people surrounded him. Then a king rode a good horse and came to him with his servant. He quickly dismounted and cheered the king.

The king said, "Come on, now you are my guest." So they got on their mounts and came to the palace gate talking and laughing. Only then did they both dismount and enter the palace hand in hand.

The king asked him to sit in a chair inlaid with gold, and he sat down next to him. She took off the veil from her head and revealed her true colors. It turned out that she was a beautiful and lovely heroine, and her beauty and magnificent scenes surprised and envied the young man. The queen said to him, "You know, I am the queen here, and all the soldiers you see are actually women. There's nobody here. Here, men are responsible for farming and building houses, and women manage state affairs. Women not only take power and handle government affairs, but also perform military service. "

The young man was very surprised.

After a while, the Prime Minister came before the Queen. She has gray hair and a serious face. She is a strong old woman. The queen told her, "Bring us judges and witnesses."

The prime minister was ordered to leave quickly. The queen talked to the young man kindly, comforted him and asked, "Will you marry me?"

The young man immediately stood up, knelt down, kissed the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am poorer than your servant."

"Do you see these servants, men and property?"

"Yes, I saw it."

"You can use anything here at will." She pointed to a locked door and said, "Yes, you can use everything at will, but you are not allowed to open this door, or you will regret it."

After that, the Prime Minister brought judges and witnesses. Young people can see at a glance that they are all old women with long hair and shawls and solemn posture. The queen ordered the wedding to begin, so she arranged a luxurious banquet to entertain the guests with unprecedented pomp.

After the wedding, he fell in love with the queen and lived a happy life for seven years before he knew it.

One day, he remembered the locked door and said to himself, "There must be more beautiful treasures hidden inside, otherwise, how could she forbid me to open the door?" So he skid up and resolutely opened the door and went in to have a look. It turned out that there was a big eagle, which had caught him on the island before.

As soon as the eagle saw him, he said to him, "you unlucky guy who didn't listen to advice!" " You are no longer popular. "

Hearing this, the young man turned and ran away. The eagle caught him, took off, flew in the air for about an hour, threw him to the seaside where he was caught, and then spread its wings and flew away.

Young people wake up slowly, sit by the sea, thinking about the glory of being in power and giving orders in Bandierre, and can't help but feel sad and sorry. Looking forward to returning to his wife's palace, he stayed at the seaside for two months. One night, he couldn't sleep under the entanglement of sadness. Suddenly, a voice from somewhere said, "You can only worry. If you lose it, it will be hard to come by! " That's easy to say! "

Hearing the sound, he knew that there was no hope of reunion of the old love, and he was disappointed and extremely sad. Helpless, he went back to the house where the old people lived seven years ago and suddenly understood everything. Aren't those old men in the same situation as now? That's why they are sad, distressed and tearful.

Since then, he has lived in that house, lonely and cold, living in depression and crying.

From then on, he never laughed until his eyes died.

When I saw that you were empty-handed, I understood everything. If you can't catch fish tomorrow, come and eat bread. Don't be embarrassed, just give it back to me. "

On the third day, Jute went fishing in a small lake. Busy, from sunrise to sunset, the net is still empty, so I have to bite the bullet and borrow money and live on credit.

A Suo is a little girl with big eyes and pigtails. She has a pair of dexterous hands, and every afternoon after school, she will use them to string hawthorn fruit.

There is a big bamboo basket in Ahso's house. There are many red hawthorn fruits in the basket. String the fruit on a thin bamboo stick and dip it in sugar water to make a lot of sweet and sour candied haws.

But why make so many candied haws? Oh, it turns out that Ahso's mother sells candied haws. My mother sells candied haws in a street stall every day. Those candied haws were strung in advance by Ahso the night before.

But on this day, when Ahso put on the candied haws, he couldn't concentrate. A bunch of candied haws and five hawthorn fruits, but sometimes she strung four and sometimes six, and her mind was full of Lili's beautiful skirts.

Lili is Sue's deskmate. Tomorrow's Children's Day, the teacher arranged for Ahso and Lili to perform a dance and rehearsed it many times. Ahso and Lily are already familiar with dancing. But today, Lily wears a beautiful white skirt to rehearse the dance. She said that her mother bought it specially for her performance.

But Ahso doesn't have a beautiful skirt. She only has a gray cotton skirt, which is very old. If she wears it to the show, maybe her classmates will laugh at herself. Ahso wants to ask her mother for a skirt, but she knows that her mother has to sell a lot of candied haws to buy a beautiful skirt.

Do you want your mother's skirt or not? Ahso repeatedly asked himself.

Tell you what! Just count the hawthorn fruits in the bamboo basket. If it is odd, ask your mother for a skirt. If it is an even number, wear your own gray skirt to perform the program.

One, two, three, four ... Aho counted and finally counted the number of fruits-exactly 199, how strange! Then, when mom comes back, let her buy herself a skirt. But, but ... mom makes candied haws every day, and her hands are getting rougher and rougher. Maybe she needs a pair of gloves more. Also, my mother eats a steamed bun for lunch every day. If she doesn't buy skirts, maybe she can buy some steamed bread to satisfy her hunger. ...

Ahso hesitated, and finally decided to wear his own gray skirt to participate in the performance.

So she folded the gray skirt neatly, put it on the bed and lay down to sleep.

That night, Ahso had a dream. She dreamed that she was dancing in a beautiful red skirt. The skirt is bright red, the color of hawthorn.

When Joni Aho woke up the next morning, he really found a beautiful red skirt, which was exactly the same as what he wore in his dream, except that there were five buttons in the shape of hawthorn fruit. She couldn't help jumping up. While pulling a red skirt in front of the mirror, Ahso saw his mother standing behind him, her eyes bloodshot.

Ahso put on a beautiful red skirt and went to school. When it was her turn to perform, she danced in that beautiful red skirt. When rotating, the whole skirt looks like a blooming red peony. The students applauded for Sue, because Sue in a red skirt dances really well!

After school, Aso went home and continued to string hawthorn fruit. But this time, she won't give the wrong number again. Five in each string. How did she remember so accurately this time? Because Ahso knew that under the lamp last night, my mother carefully nailed five buttons in the shape of hawthorn fruit on the sewn red skirt.
