聚宝盆 第三章

The sun was high. Xia Ren was carrying water. The buckets were big. Before, the water was heavy, today he felt it was light.

He walked very fast. Work that was supposed to take a day was finished in two hours.

Xia Ren was suddenly afraid. He thought, 'Too fast. Others will think it strange.'

'If the boss finds out, I will be in trouble.' He decided to pretend to be tired.

In the afternoon, he walked very slowly on the road. He stopped every few steps, looking like he was very tired.

Suddenly, someone shouted, 'Water carrier, come here!' Xia Ren saw Boss Zhang lying on the ground.

Boss Zhang was beaten painfully. Standing in front were two women. One wearing a pink skirt was holding a sword.

She was angry and asked, 'Are you the water carrier?' Xia Ren said, 'Yes.'

'The water recently is not good to drink. Did you take a bath in the water?'

Boss Zhang on the ground suddenly jumped up. He hit Xia Ren and said, 'It is all your fault!'

'He made the water dirty! It has nothing to do with me!' Boss Zhang wanted Xia Ren to die.

Xia Ren shouted, 'It's not me! I also drink the water here. I also feel disgusted.'

'Everyone is watching me work. I don't have time to bathe.'

That woman wearing the green skirt spoke. She made Boss Zhang stop.

She checked the water and said, 'If someone bathed, the water would just be dirty. But now the water has a problem.'

'The good things in the water are gone. This is a problem with the source.'

'The source is very high, ordinary people cannot go up. So it is not his fault.'

Xia Ren was relieved. But he thought, 'Is it because of that pot in my home?'
