There was a little pig farmer in the Li family, who had no father or mother since he was a child, and was working in the Li family. "He said he would not take him with him!

Little pig herder anxiously crying, Miss Li's heart softly persuaded his father: "Let him go, it does not cost little money, maybe the first entry is not accurate, can pick ginseng it? I will pay for him."

In this way, the little pig farmer went to the mountain with the group. But strange enough, a yea , everyone found ginseng down the mountain, but he was the only one who did not find anything, and had to pack up the rest of the things and stay on the mountain alone!

The next year, when the season came, the other fellows went up again and brought him the things that the lady had financed for him, but to his surprise, the second year passed and he still found nothing.

In the blink of an eye, the third year and put the mountain, this time the guys to the little pig herder sent a message that he must go down this year, find or not to find it does not matter! The little pig herder is very touched, also very guilty, this year day and night to find up! But until the guys went down the mountain,he still did Nottingham ginseng, and did not have the face to go down the mountain, so he stayed on the mountain again!

This day, he was wandering around in the mountain, and suddenly a whirlwind blew by, only to see a white old man running desperately in front of the whirlwind, the whirlwind is strange, seems to be chasing the white old man! Little pig herder is a warm-heated, without saying a word, blocked in front of the old man, picked up with the shovel knife fiercely cleaved in the cyclone, as if cleaved in what, only to see the cyclone inside a "Sis ......" sound, you can see the blood flowing down, the cyclone also suddenly The little pig farmer looked back, the old man in white also did not know where to go!
