Chen Ergou spoke with certainty, "I borrow money, but I always pay it back. Sanlang, saving a life is better than creating seven statues, so could you just do me a favor? When my donkey comes home, he can consider you his godfather; he'll work for you for life…"
Jiang Sanlang and Chunniang turned green with indignation and furiously yelled, "Get lost!"
They picked up a wooden spade to hit him.
Scared, Chen Ergou and his wife crawled up and ran far away, still not stopping their gabbles, "Could... could I borrow your deer? When my donkey comes back, I'll go hunting in the mountains to repay you with another deer, no... three in return..."
Jiang Sanlang became so furious that he lifted the wooden shovel and chased after them.
Scared, Chen Ergou and his wife broke into a run and disappeared in a cloud of dust.
