Fate is easy to tie, not easy to solve

In other words, Ban Xinyu came out of the imperial city and hadn't traveled far. Looking at the forked intersection, he couldn't make a decision for a while.The road on the left looks wider than the one on the right. Although the road surface is uneven, it is more common for people to walk.On the right side of the road, there are many miscellaneous trees and weeds and flowers. It is difficult to see the scenery ahead, but it is more mysterious.He really couldn't figure out how to choose, so he chose to sit down in the shade under a high tree, hugged the bag tightly in his arms, the five hundred silver notes inside were his entire net worth, and now they were more important than himself!

Leaning against the tree and squinting to look at the two roads, it is safer to take the road that ordinary people usually take, but there must be no fun.Take the road less traveled, and there may be unpredictable things, both good and bad.Scratching his head, Ban Xinyu looked at the sky anxiously.It happened that an old man came from the front. It seemed that he got up early to sell vegetables in the city and returned home. He was carrying a burden and wearing a straw hat, and walked slowly.Ban Xinyu's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward, "Hey, do you know where these two roads go?".The old man lifted his face from under the straw hat, glanced at him, ignored him and continued walking.The excitement in Ban Xinyu's heart turned cold when he was hit by the old man's response without any response.The little boy in the class who was used to being surrounded by people had never experienced this before, and his face suddenly became ugly.Hey in my heart, this old man is probably deaf!He followed up again, walking side by side with the old man, "Where do these two roads go?" He said loudly.The old man stopped, looked at him, and said calmly, "Why are you so loud? I'm not deaf!".Ban Xinyu was even more displeased, "You are not deaf, why don't you speak!".The old man looked at him, laughed and said: "The old man didn't hear anyone asking, who should answer the question?".Ban Xinyu frowned, the old man ignored his words, and was still blatantly blatant! "How can you say that you didn't hear me? I said it twice, and you are clearly relying on the old to sell the old and don't know what to do!".The old man laughed loudly, put down the burden on his shoulders, took off his straw hat, and stroked his gray beard.Ban Xinyu was a little surprised, this old man was much older than he imagined, why is he still working at this age!The old man looked at this young man, with a burden hanging on his chest, he looked good, but he still lacked some education.

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the burden on the ground, "You pick it up, and the old man will tell you.".Ban Xinyu's eyes widened. This is simply unreasonable. Isn't it just asking a question, so it's so open and shut!The old man shook his head, "Forget it, forget it if you don't want to know, it's useless to waste the old man's time, the vegetables in this field are still waiting to be watered." As he said that, he was about to pick up the burden, and it was not easy for Ban Xinyu to see him like that, Just treat him as kind-hearted and help him pick a ride. "Okay, okay, I'll just pick, really, what a big deal!".Fasten the burden on your chest and pick up the burden.When I didn't pick it up, I thought it would be heavy, but after putting it on my shoulders, I realized that it was not as easy as I imagined, not to mention that he had never done it before, the weight of the burden was on his shoulders, and the slight tingling made him uncomfortable.Looking at him, the old man knew that he must be a rich man who had never worked before. The baskets at both ends of the burden were shaking from left to right, and he was trying to control their swinging. It was ridiculous to be in a hurry.The old man made a serious face on purpose, and shouted: "Forget it, clumsy, just pick two empty baskets, how can it be like going to the execution ground. The old man should come by himself, you go your own way, this is a newly made wicker basket!".As he said that, he was about to come and take away the burden, how could Ban Xinyu let him take it away, what the old man said was a contempt for his dignity!Stepping aside, "Since we say we want to help you choose, we must do what we say!".The old man looked at him and said very seriously: "In this case, you should walk carefully. You have to walk step by step, not only fast but also steady. If you are like you, if there are vegetables in the basket, don't they all fall off? Dirty!".Ban Xinyu was depressed, but if he let go of the burden now, wouldn't the old man laugh at him.I had no choice but to slow down and walk step by step, and now the two disobedient baskets have settled down a lot.The old man nodded and smiled.

Along the way, although it is an empty basket, it is still very tiring after a long time.Ban Xinyu sweated a lot, but the old man never mentioned the matter of asking for directions, but instead talked about a large cart of vegetables that he didn't understand!Moreover, he followed the old man all the way on the left road, and now he couldn't see the fork in the road when he turned his head, and he was very upset.Momo asked softly: "Well, you haven't answered my question yet!".The old man was talking vigorously when he was suddenly interrupted, with a solemn expression on his face, "Don't cross, how can the elders interrupt indiscriminately when they are talking, you don't understand any rules!" He continued his lecture on growing vegetables, and Ban Xin Yu shut up obediently.Strange to say, he wasn't afraid of the old man, but he was so reasonable in his speech that he was speechless.

After walking for a while, I couldn't bear the wear on my shoulders, so I jumped over and changed to the other side.Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ban Xinyu was hot and thirsty, and the old man in front was shaking his straw hat all the way, relaxed and at ease.Ban Xinyu regretted his decision just now, isn't it just a matter of one road, he can go wherever he likes, and ask any questions. "Why haven't you arrived yet!".The old man stopped, looked at him like this, and sneered: "You are so tired, you can't breathe after walking a few steps, the young man really can't do it!".Ban Xinyu was angry, looking at the long distance behind, but he said a few steps! "If you can't do it, you can't do it, I will quit!"The old man laughed and said, "Young people, don't worry, don't you see that you will be there soon, you are thirsty, there are sweet and juicy melons at home, and the fresh ones are grown by ourselves.".Ban Xinyu looked at the place he pointed, and sure enough, there were two earthen houses not far away, with a green area in front of the door, and he swallowed unconsciously.Following the old man's footsteps, he had already forgotten what he was about to do just now.

When I approached the house, I saw some vegetables growing in front of the door.Row by row, one by one.The bottom is yellow soil and the top is green vegetables, and the air is filled with the fresh smell of plants and soil.Ban Xinyu took a deep breath, feeling extremely comfortable.It was the first time I saw this again. I used to cook it in the kitchen and serve it on the table. I didn't know that the food was grown like this, and it was full of freshness for a while.

An old woman came out of the house, and greeted her with smiling eyes.She took the straw hat from the old man's hand and hung it under the eaves, "How is the vegetable selling today, you are coming back later than usual?".The old man chuckled, sat on the low stool under the eaves, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, "I met a boy on the road, he didn't know how to be polite, so he just brought him back.".The old lady smiled and said to him, "You!".Then he turned around and faced Ban Xinyu, who had been standing there, not knowing what to do, and said, "Young master, put down your burden. If you're tired, come and drink tea to quench your thirst."Said to go into the house.Ban Xinyu looked at her and at him again, the old man laughed loudly, "What are you looking at, come and sit, you can continue to stand if you are not tired.".Ban Xinyu looked around and didn't know where to put the burden, so he put down the burden when he saw the open space under the eaves.He walked up to the old man and sat down, without moving anything, just looking at the old man eagerly.For a long time, "Why don't you pour tea to the guests, this is the etiquette of hospitality!".Ban Xinyu said angrily, just now he heard that the old man said he was not rude!The old man smiled slightly and said: "If you want to drink tea, pour it yourself, and do it yourself to have enough food and clothing.".Ban Xinyu glared at him, but he was so thirsty that he couldn't stand it, so he picked up the teapot and filled a bowl, and drank it.He drank two big bowls of tea before he felt comfortable. This tea was different from what he usually drank, and it tasted better. He couldn't help asking: "What kind of tea is this? It's so delicious?".The old man laughed loudly, "This tea is naturally good tea, and only those who have worked and sweated can taste its true taste.".Ban Xinyu was dubious about his words.At this time, the old lady came out of the house, and she brought a small basket with some melons and fruits on it. "Young master, eat more." He said and went into the house again.Ban Xinyu was also hungry at first, so he was impatient to pick up a melon and was about to eat it.The old man slapped the back of his hand, and Ban Xinyu threw down the melon in pain.Rubbing his hands, he said angrily, "What are you doing?!".The old man pointed to the vegetable field, "He who does not work will not eat, go and see to find the bugs in the vegetable leaves, and pull out the weeds." Ban Xinyu widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide, "What! I, I am not coolie!".The old man looked at him with a half-smile, "Eating by your own labor has nothing to do with whether you are a coolie or not. Are you going or not?".Ban Xinyu stood up resentfully, and went, the old man said again: "Put down the burden, we look like thieves?" Ban Xinyu hesitantly untied the burden and put it on the table, thinking: "Does the thief tell me that I am a thief on my face?" no.Rolling his eyes, he quickly took out a stick from the basket while the old man was not paying attention, took a bite hard, ate it, and looked at the old man triumphantly, to see if you want to go back, hum!Walking into the vegetable field, the old man commanded under the eaves, "Yes, that is the weeds are pulled out. Look carefully and take out the bugs, otherwise they will eat bad vegetables!...".Prince Ban Xinyu is really hot, and the resentment in his heart is getting heavier and heavier.Pulling those weeds is like pulling the old man's beard. The old man is also surprised, this kid is so happy to pull weeds?

Although the vegetable field looks small, it is tiring to get there one by one. Xinyu is already exhausted after working half a day.The crown prince was about to fall, and Ban Xinyu remembered his purpose today.The old man was framing him, tricking him into being a coolie, angry in his heart, and sat down on the ground, ignoring whether he would get his clothes dirty.At this time, a man came in, and the old man and the old lady greeted him happily and respectfully. Ban Xinyu wondered, who is this man?
