Chapter 4 socks pregnant

At dusk in Badland City, Ah Si discovered that among the dozens of pairs of wool socks hanging in the yard, there was a gray sock that was pregnant, and the sock was swollen to the full, and it looked like it was about to give birth. "In spring, everything grows, and even big socks will give birth to small socks." Ah Si believed that the old socks had spirits, and dared not move them rashly, letting the colorful socks hang on the rope and sway in the wind. "Remember to keep it a secret." Ah Si told the neighbors about this, and the neighbors told the neighbors. Not long after, the Badlands Tourism Bureau took over Ah Si's courtyard and erected iron bars around the "sacred place for drying socks" , for visitors to admire.

At the beginning, it was women who came to pray for blessings and children; later, some old magistrates also came to ask for their wives: "Looking forward to a beautiful family like a flower, a husband is valued by his wife, he climbs a dragon and a phoenix, and enjoys privileges forever." In addition to admiration, they all came to worship the socks; after worshiping the socks, some people were able to sell houses, and some opened shops, and their businesses prospered again; the vitality of Badland City gradually recovered. At this time, someone saw the problem: some socks didn't fit right, there was only one green sock, and where did the other go? "When the fourth aunt was washing her socks, she might be in a trance, and she stuffed a green one in the gray sock, and still hung it up to bask in the sun." Ah Si also thought: a misunderstanding made the gray sock full of spring. .

Everyone gradually understands the background of "socks pregnancy", but they don't tell the truth; The governor of Badland City is a "wise man", hardworking and hardworking. In the first year of ruling the city, he discovered: "Prosperity, it turns out to be a pile of bubbles!" So he punctured the biggest bubble.The bubble burst, and the prosperity was gone; the people died and fled. On this day, the governor saw that the spring was good, and went to inspect the district, passing by Ah Si's old courtyard. "There must be only socks hidden inside the socks." He went to flip the socks, but his attendants did not stop him. People's "hope" was shattered again in the early spring of this year.

What is the use of the governor's "wisdom"?I didn't think deeply.However, when I was drying clothes today, I did find a "pregnant" sock, and I thought of such a story.
