Although he is a brother and sister, his brother is very rich, and his money is inexhaustible. What about his younger brother? Poor is almost nothing. How can one be rich and one poor?
It turned out that Gao Ximu, like Alibaba, was a poor man at first and worried about his last meal. Later, a wealthy businessman took a fancy to his cleverness and married his daughter. Soon, my father-in-law passed away. Gao Ximu suddenly had a lot of money, and he and his wife inherited all the family property of his father-in-law. Later, he used his father-in-law's money to do business, and soon made a lot of money, so he built a new house, hired servants and became a full-fledged businessman.
Alibaba's fate is not as good as his brother's and he is always so poor. Although he is poor, he is kind-hearted, and the daughter of a poor family insists on marrying him. They got married. Although life is hard, the young couple are very happy. Except for a broken house, all their property includes three donkeys. Alibaba has no money to do business, so it makes a living by chopping wood. Every day, he drives his three donkeys to the forest to transport firewood.
Alibaba lived a hard life, and his brother Gao Xiben not only didn't help him, but also always called him useless. On several occasions, one dragged the goods and the other dragged the firewood to meet in the street. My brother always laughs at my brother: "When will you be smarter?" Alibaba always smiles happily. He doesn't envy his brother's life.
Gao Ximu's wife is sharper. She frowned when she saw the poor brother-in-law, and never gave a liter of rice or a penny. One day, Alibaba drove his three donkeys to the forest as usual. He chopped and chopped, and finally he got enough firewood to fill three donkeys. He put the firewood on the donkey and drove it home happily. As soon as I passed a big mountain, I saw the dust flying in front of me, as if a large group of people were coming. He heard that there are many robbers in this area recently. So he tied the donkey to a tree and hid it behind a big stone.
After a while, the team came and saw that each horse was carrying a full bag. I don't know what was in it, but what is certain is that they are not firewood men. He counted to exactly forty. What are you doing in the mountains with so many things on your back? Alibaba decided to find out.
The gang came to the foot of a mountain, and Alibaba quietly followed them here. He hid, knowing that if he was found, he would die. Their voices were low and short, but he fully understood that this was a group of robbers, and everything they immediately carried was stolen. But what are they doing pulling things to the foot of this bare mountain? Alibaba decided to continue to observe. I saw the bandit leader go to a place facing the mountain and read aloud, "Sesame, sesame, please open the door." A big stone on the mountain responded. There used to be a cave inside.
Forty robbers brought everything in. When they all walked out of the cave, the bandit leader said, "Sesame, Sesame, please close the door." The big stone blocked the cave. The robber walked along the way he came.
Alibaba remembered this place and the words read by the bandit leader. Of course, he was very surprised at what he had just seen.
Alibaba found that this was a gang of robbers' lair, and he decided to go in and see how much gold and silver was hidden in it. He waited for a while, until it was estimated that the robbers had gone far, and he slowly came to the cave in the mountain.
He has never done such a thing. He was the only one standing there in the empty mountain, and his legs began to tremble. But he finally got up the courage and shouted, "Sesame, Sesame, please open the door."
Supplement:
The big stone really moved, revealing the dark hole. He sat in and was stunned by the sight inside. This is a very big cave, full of gold and silver and precious jewels and jade, which he has never seen in his life. Alibaba is a little scared. What if the robbers come back? So he started to run and returned to the mouth of the cave. He thought, since I'm here, why not take some back?
Alibaba ran under the tree, threw away all the firewood carried by the three donkeys, drove the donkeys into the cave, found three big bags full of treasure, and then went out of the cave.
Alibaba said, "Sesame, Sesame, please close the door." The big stone answered and blocked the hole.
Alibaba took the donkey to the forest and covered the treasure with firewood so as not to arouse others' suspicion. Then I drove the donkey and went home happily.
Alibaba drove the donkey and didn't go home until dark.
He unloaded the firewood, carried the treasure into the house bag by bag, and closed the door. My clothes were soaked with sweat because of my nervousness.
My wife saw so much money that she thought Alibaba had either stolen it or robbed it. She shouted, "You are poor and crazy! Dare to steal so much money! "
Alibaba smiled: "Our fate has changed." Then, he told his wife in detail about today's adventure, and a stone fell to her heart.
My wife began to count money, but there was too much money to count at once. Besides, where did you put so much money?
After thinking for a long time, my wife finally came up with an idea. She said to Alibaba, "You dig a hole in the ground and I'll be right back."
Alibaba asked, "Where are you going?"
The wife said, "I went to your brother's house, borrowed a scale from my sister-in-law, and measured the money to see how much it was?"
Alibaba said, "You'd better not go." The wife said, "I went to your brother's house, not someone else's." Besides, I just borrow a scale and don't want his things. " Alibaba had to promise his wife and start digging holes.
When my wife came to Gao Ximu's house, it happened that her sister-in-law was alone at home. When she saw it was her, she said sharply, "There is no money to buy rice at home again?"
She said, "No, we have rice. I'm here to borrow a scale today. "
Sister-in-law felt strange. What a big breath. Should I weigh the rice? Get rich? My sister-in-law, who has always been stingy, really promised to lend her the scale today. But my sister-in-law secretly got some honey in the scale and wanted to know what to weigh. Not knowing this, she took the scale and hurried home.
When they got home, Alibaba had dug a big hole, so they measured the money, poured it into the hole and sealed it together. With so much money, they will never use it all their lives.
The next morning, Alibaba's wife returned the scale to her sister-in-law
Sister-in-law took the scale and saw everything. She was angry and hated, so she couldn't help it. Go into the house and hold Gao Ximu's ear and pull him out of bed.
Supplement:
It turns out that Gao Ximu went for a drink last night and came back very late. He is still sleeping.
"You say, you say, Alibaba's family is very poor, is a pauper. Look, what is this? " She threw the scale in front of Gao Ximu. "This is a scale!" Gao Ximu is afraid of his wife, who makes such a scene. I don't know what happened, but she was afraid to ask more questions.
"Look again!" My wife almost ordered it.
Gao Ximu took the scale, studied it carefully, and finally found a gold coin stuck in it. He was overjoyed: "Gold coins."
The wife roared again: "Your brother Alibaba lied to us. He pretended to be poor in front of us and kept saying that he had no money to buy rice. In fact, he is a thousand times richer than us! "
"How is that possible?" Gao Ximu said.
"They have so much money, they have to weigh it!" My wife then told me that they came to borrow weighing scale last night.
Gao Ximu began to disbelieve, and after listening to his wife's words, he became jealous of Alibaba.
So he put on his clothes and went to his brother's house. He wants to find out. Arriving at Alibaba's home, Gao Ximu said angrily, "Brother, you must tell me where you got so much money!" "
Seeing my brother coming, Alibaba said frankly, "I made a little money, so I decided to give you half because you are my brother."
Hearing this, Gao Ximu felt that there was a door, and his brother really made a fortune. He is a greedy man. How can he ask his brother to give him half the money? So he said, "You must tell me how you got rich."
Being a brother, Alibaba told Gao Ximu about his adventure in the forest yesterday.
Hearing this, Gao Ximu had a bad idea. He said, "You must tell me where the money is buried, or I will tell the government to punish you for stealing? quot
Alibaba said: "I didn't steal it. I'm not afraid of the government at all." Because you are my brother, I will tell you the true story. But I want to remind you, never go to the place where the treasure is hidden again. Those robbers are not easy to mess with. "
Gao Ximu recognized these words of Alibaba. He went home, prepared ten mules and hurried to the place where the money was hidden.
Gao Ximu found the cave where the treasure was hidden. According to what Alibaba said, he shouted, "Sesame, sesame, please open the door."
The door of the cave answered and opened. Gao Ximu couldn't wait to get into the hole, and then read: "Sesame, sesame, please close the door." The stone gate of the cave answered and closed. Gao Ximu was locked in this hole alone.
Ah, he was shocked. There are so many gold and silver treasures. He picked this up in the cave and looked at that. He was almost mad with excitement. He opened his pocket, put it in desperately, and put it there for a while. He thinks he should take some of the most valuable things to get it. But which is the most valuable? Because he hasn't seen much in it. I don't know how to choose.
Supplement:
Gao Ximu picked around in the cave and finally packed ten bags.
He stayed in the cave for a long time and only felt very tired. He was going to have a rest before he left, and suddenly he remembered Alibaba's words that those robbers should not be provoked. So he quickly picked up a bag and walked to the mouth of the cave. When he reached the mouth of the cave, he found it closed.
How to open the door of the cave? Gao Ximu was just thinking about the treasure inside, and he had forgotten the code. He tried his best to recall that memory, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He was so scared that he forgot the code. How can he go out? He shouted at Shimen.
"Barley, barley, please open the door."
Shimen did not move.
"Wheat, wheat, please open the door."
Shimen still did not move.
Gao Ximu then shouted: "Soybean, soybean, please open the door." "Lentils, lentils, please open the door." "Broad bean, broad bean, please open the door." But Shimen never opened.
Gao Ximu was sweating with anxiety. He thought he might die here today. Even if the robber doesn't come, he will starve to death. Money is not edible!
Gao Ximu didn't come up with the secret code, but the robbers have come back. When the robber leader saw ten mules at the door, he was very worried that someone would steal the treasure. He walked to the front of the Shimen, and before he could speak, the Shimen opened.
It turned out that Gao Ximu remembered the secret code: "Sesame, sesame, please open the door." When he walked out of the hole, he found forty robbers standing in front of him. He wants to run. Where can he run? The bandit leader ended his life with a knife. Cut his body into four pieces and put it in the four corners of the hole. Because the bandit leader suspects that anyone who can get into the hole must have an accomplice.
It's getting dark Gao Ximu didn't come home, and his wife was very worried. Afraid of an accident, she rushed to Alibaba's home and told Alibaba that his brother had gone out early and had not come back yet.
Alibaba guessed that my brother might be ill-fated, but there was still a glimmer of hope: "Maybe my brother wanted to wait until after dark to avoid others finding out? quot
It's midnight, Gao Ximu hasn't come home yet, and his sister-in-law has come to see Alibaba again. Alibaba said helplessly, "What can we do so late? We have to wait until dawn. "
After dawn, Alibaba drove his three donkeys to the cave. He opened the stone gate with a code word, went in and found his brother's body. He was very sad, but he was afraid that the robbers would come again, so he quickly packed Gao Ximu's body and shipped it home.
Sister-in-law has been crying, and Alibaba can't help it.
Alibaba said, "Stop crying and bury him quickly. Otherwise, the robbers will come back for revenge after knowing the news, and then we will all die. "
But my sister-in-law cried and said, "How can you bury his body piece by piece?"
At this time, Gao Ximu's maid said, "I'll find someone to sew up his body for you!" " "
Supplement:
The maid is a loyal and intelligent person. She found a tailor, gave him two gold coins first, and then told him that she would get another reward after the job was done. At such a high price, the tailor is certainly willing.
The tailor followed the maid and came to Gao Ximu's house with tools. This maid is very clever. When she was still at a certain distance from home, she blindfolded the tailor and didn't let him know the specific address. Then, holding the tailor's hand, slowly walk to the place where the body is parked, and then untie the towel.
The tailor carefully sewed up Gao Ximu's body. The maid gave him a few more gold coins, covered his eyes with a towel and sent him away.
The tailor was sent away, and the loyal maid helped Alibaba and Gao Ximu's wife bury their master quietly. Since then, Alibaba has been living in his brother's house to help his sister-in-law do business. Escrow housework.
In addition, when the robbers returned to the cave, they found Gao Ximu's body missing. They concluded that the deceased was taken away by his accomplices. So the bandit leader sent a young robber to look for it. If you find the body, you can find your partner.
The young robber went to the city and found nothing all day. In the evening, he came to a tailor shop. It's getting dark and the boss is still working. He asked the boss, can you see it? "
The tailor said, "Yes. I'm not bragging. Last night, I stitched up a body that was cut into pieces in the dark. " The tailor is very proud.
Hearing this, the robber thought he had a clue. So he chatted with the tailor and kept complimenting him. Finally, simply drag the tailor to the hotel and buy him a drink. After three rounds of wine, the robber said, "I didn't expect the old master to have such superb skills that he could sew up the divided bodies in the dark."
The tailor is already on cloud nine. He said, "Nothing. If there is such a way in the future, come to me. "
The robber said, "I really have several jobs like this, and the bid is very high." But you have to show it to me. I want to ask the shopkeeper if it's true or not. "Say that finish, he gave the tailor a few gold coins as a deposit.
The tailor can't refuse. He said, "To tell you the truth, I only know the general direction. It was Meidochan who blindfolded me and brought me to the last distance. "
The robber was very talkative, and finally the tailor promised to take him to his room last night.
The robber followed the tailor for a while, and the tailor said, "This is where the maid covered her eyes with a towel last night."
The robber said, "well, I'll blindfold you now, too." As you walk, remember the steps that the maid took you. "
The tailor finally found Gao Ximu's home. The robber drew a sign on his door, then turned back to the cave and reported the news to the robber leader.
Supplement:
The next morning, the maid found the sign on the master's door. She thought it must be a robber's trick, so she told Alibaba about it. Alibaba asked her to draw the same mark on all the doors of the house. As a result, the robbers came and didn't know where to start. The bandit leader was so angry that he found the tailor himself and found out which one it was. The bandit leader prepared forty oil baskets, only two of which contained vegetable oil, and the other baskets each contained a robber. He pretended to be an oil dealer and went to stay at Gao Ximu's house. Alibaba agreed. There are forty oil baskets in the yard. After dark, the bandit leader had a heart-to-heart talk with Alibaba. When the servant girl saw that the lamp oil was dry, she went to the yard to get the oil. Just as she was about to open the oil basket, she suddenly heard a gasp. So she listened to the oil basket and found that there was breathing inside. She knew it was a robber's plot. She took the oil out of the real oil basket and cooked it on the stove. Then, she poured the boiled oil into each oil basket and burned all the robbers inside. Late at night, the bandit leader threw a stone into the yard according to their pre-agreed signal, asking the robbers to come out for revenge, but there was no response. He threw the second stone, but the third stone did not move, and no robbers came out. The bandit leader was so angry that he came to the yard, opened the oil basket and found that his companions were all dead. The bandit leader was so angry that he was about to enter the house and do it himself, only to be killed by Alibaba hiding behind the door. It turned out that the maid had quietly told Alibaba what she had seen and done. While it was dark, they buried the bodies of forty robbers without leaving a trace. Alibaba is very grateful to the maid. In order to reward her intelligence and wisdom, she proposed to her nephew. Alibaba owns all the treasures in the cave. He gave them to the poor so that everyone could live a good life.
