There is a family surnamed Xu in the northern suburbs of Zichuan City. The male owner is Xu Ping.

Xu Ping's wife was weak, and she had not been able to give birth to a man and a half for Xu Ping after more than ten years of marriage. Thinking of this, she burst into tears. Xu Ping was also unhappy, but he was afraid that his wife would be sad, so he never put his emotions on his face, and often drank a little wine to resolve the barriers in his heart.

Xu Ping went fishing every night, and he also brought a pot of wine. He heard from the old people at home that it was very hard for drowned people to be ghosts, so he often spilled wine on the ground, muttering, asking those drowned ghosts to drink a few mouthfuls.

Strange to say, since Xu Ping did this, he has been able to harvest baskets of fish and shrimp every time, but those who fish with him often get nothing, and they are very envious.

One night, he was drinking alone by the river as usual. At some point, a young man came and circled around him. Xu Ping thought he was a new fisherman and quickly greeted him warmly for a drink.

The newcomer did not refuse, sat down cross-legged, and drank with Xu Ping. That night, I don't know if it was because of Xu Ping's words that disturbed the fish, but Xu Ping got nothing and was very disappointed.

The teenager smiled at Xu Ping's disappointed look and said, "Brother Xu, don't worry, the fish will come in a while." He said that he walked downstream with his hands behind his back.

Sure enough, Xu Ping heard the sound of fish for a while, and quickly closed the net. When he saw several big fish over a foot in the subnet, Xu Ping was very happy.

The teenager didn't know when he was coming back, so he stood behind Xu Ping and patted his hands and smiled. When the teenager left, Xu Ping insisted on giving him a few big fish, saying that he was grateful for his good words. The teenager was happy. "This little thing is nothing, I have drunk your wine many times, brother, if you don't dislike it, I will help you catch fish every day in the future!"

I only drank with him once, but why did this young man say that he drank so many times? Xu Ping was surprised, but he didn't say anything, just said, "Of course I am happy that my brother is willing to take care of me like this, I am afraid that there is nothing to repay you!"

The teenager waved his hand, turned his head and left. Xu Ping hurriedly shouted from behind and asked his name. The teenager turned his head and smiled, "My surname is Wang.

The next day, Xu Ping sold the fish and went to the riverbank to drink more wine. Six Langs was already waiting for him there. The two of them had a good drink.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since then.

One day, after drinking wine, Liulang sighed and said, "I have known my brother for so long, and I have been very happy. Unfortunately, I may not be able to meet you in the future!"

Xu Ping saw that his expression was gloomy, thinking that he had encountered something embarrassing and narrow, so he hurriedly asked him.

Six Lang wanted to say it and stopped several times, making Xu Ping so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

Liulang suddenly said without thinking, "Our relationship is so good, I'm afraid to scare you into saying it, but I'm leaving anyway, so let's just say it, in fact, I'm not human. I usually drink a lot of wine, and I drown here when I get drunk. I've been a ghost for several years. Because you often give me wine, that's why I help you catch fish. Now that I'm full of sins, someone will be my stand-in, and I can go somewhere else to reincarnate as a human."

After hearing this, Xu Ping was so scared that he was covered in white hair and sweat, but thinking about it carefully, although people and ghosts have a special path, Liulang has never hurt his heart. Now that he is going to be reincarnated, this is a happy event. He quickly poured a full glass of wine and handed it to Liulang: "Brother, you are leaving as you say, it is really reluctant, but you have the opportunity to be reincarnated, which is very rare. Brother is happy for you, come on, dry this glass of wine!"

When Liulang heard this, his eyes turned red. He glanced at Xu Ping, who was happy, and then looked at the wine in the glass, and his neck dried with a heavy heart.

The two of them were very drunk. Xu Ping asked curiously, "Hey, Liulang, who is your substitute?"

Liulang paused and said with a wry smile, "You'll know tomorrow!"

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn, and Xu Pinghe and Liulang reluctantly said goodbye.

The next day, Xu Ping spent the whole day, but no one fell into the water and died. Xu Ping was a little suspicious of whether Liulang was talking nonsense, and then he thought, could it be that Liulang failed to catch the substitute?

Thinking of this, Xu Ping hurriedly ran to the riverside. After walking around the riverside for a long time, he didn't see anything strange. Just when he was uneasy, his money bag accidentally fell into the water.

Xu Ping plunged down without thinking. He grew up by the river and was never afraid of water.

But soon, Xu Ping realized that something was wrong. Something was dragging his ankle to the depths of the water. Just as Xu Ping was about to open his mouth and shout, a flash of lightning flashed in his heart.

It turned out that the person he treated as a brother was actually such a brazen person.

Xu Ping closed his eyes. He knew that his struggle was useless.

Just as Xu Ping was about to give up, suddenly, his feet loosened, and Xu Ping did not care about his surprise. He quickly slapped the water and fled to the shore. He ran home without looking back.

Xu Ping was angry when he thought of this. He didn't expect that Liulang would attack him. He must go and ask.

When Xu Ping arrived at the riverbank, Liulang was already waiting there with shame on his face. As soon as he saw Xu Ping, he immediately apologized, "When I knew that my substitute turned out to be my brother, my heart was also very uncomfortable. I really hope that my brother doesn'tcome to the riverbank today, but it is not up to my younger brother to decide who will be the substitute.

Xu Ping swore never to treat him like a brother again, but when Liu Lang said this, Xu Ping calmed down. Speaking of which, the reason why Liu Lang could catch him as a substitute meant that his longevity had ended. In this way, Liu Lang saved him.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping sat down on the ground, looked up at the ashamed Liulang and said, "If you fail to reincarnate this time, what will happen?"

Liulang sighed, "I don't know when I will have another chance, maybe... maybe I will always live in this river, hey!"

Xu Ping was very sad when he heard that. He took out the wine jug from his arms and handed it to Liulang. Liulang took it with both hands and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Xu Ping came to accompany Liulang to drink as usual every night, but it was difficult for the two of them to open up and talk like before.

A few days later, Liulang came to bid farewell again. Xu Ping was shocked. He had a substitute so soon?

Liulang shook his head with joy on his face. "No, the Heavenly Emperor is grateful for our brotherly love, and has granted me permission to reincarnate without catching a substitute!"

Xu Pingxin sighed for a while, very happy for Liulang, and quickly asked him where he was going to be reincarnated. Liulang drank a glass of wine and sold it off, "Brother will know in the future."

After more than a month, Xu Ping's wife unexpectedly became pregnant. Xu Ping danced happily, and after a few days of joy, he suddenly remembered what Liu Lang said when he said goodbye, could it be, could it be...

Xu Ping jumped up from the bed and slowly lay down, his heart clear.

Nine months later, Xu Ping's wife gave birth to a white, plump baby boy with eyebrows and eyes that resembled Liulang. A few months later, when Xu Ping saw him drinking, he waved his chubby hands and babbled to taste it.

Xu Ping dipped his chopsticks into the wine and smeared it into his son's mouth, saying lovingly, "You, there will be opportunities to drink with your father in the future!"

The little round man smiled at himself, full of music.
