Russian mythology: Veterans and Death

after 25 years of service, a veteran was alone in his home country.

when he passed through a town, he found a house that looked like a palace, but had no one to live with, and he asked someone to know that a rich businessman had built himself these big houses, but it was haunted at night, so he never moved in.

the veteran found the businessman and asked him if he could take her new room for the night.

the businessman told him the house was haunted and he didn't want to go in there to die.

veterans said they might get rid of ghosts.

he asked the merchants for 10 candles, three pounds of dry-dried garbs and a big baker to head towards the new house.

at night, the veterans used to spend their time by lighting candles in the house and slamming their crotch.

in the middle of the night, there was a noise, and the ghosts came, yelling to eat him.

the old soldier said, "let's fight.

which one of you can squeeze a rock out of the water with one hand?" the old ghost ordered a pebble from the street, squeezing it so hard, crushing it, but without a drop of juice.

the veteran took the radish out of his backpack, and he squeezed it with his hand and squeezed some juice.

ghosts find it strange, first without a word, then later ask, "what have you been biting?" the veteran says, "the twilight." but neither one of you will be able to bite my jaw." then he gave a bullet to the old ghost.

ghost head throws a bullet in his mouth.

he bit and bit, bit the whole bullet, but he couldn't chew.

instead, the veterans bite so hard, one by one throws a hammer in their mouths.

quiet down! "i hear people say, "the veterans say, "you have a lot of ghost ways, you can get bigger, you can get smaller, you can get through anything." "we can do this!" the ghosts shouted.

"then try it, and whatever is here, go in my backpack." the ghosts are all in the backpack.

veterans walk to the backpack, tie their belts across, and they're chained to the bottom.

so he's got all the ghosts.

ghosts promised the veterans never to bully again, and gave them a strange backpack — whatever it was, to unearth it, it was already in there.

if you want to hunt for something, just swing the bag and say, "get in!" it's inside.

so the veterans let the ghosts go.

ghosts have never appeared again, and businessmen are very grateful to the veterans, who continue their journey home with their magical backpacks.

finally one day he came home.

he unplugged, turned out some silver money, started running his business.

he built a new house, bought a cow and a horse, and everything he needed to run his business was ready.

he then married a wife, and began to live with great care.

after six or seven years, the veterans were sick and in increasingly critical condition.

on the third day, he saw death standing in front of the bed, ready to take him away.

he asked him to live againFor 30 years, raising the children, death refused; he said three more years, death refused.

The veterans stopped begging, pulled a magic backpack out of the bed, rocked and shouted, "Get in!" and put death in the backpack.

Veterans told Death that if he hadn't killed anyone for 30 years, they'd put it out.

What does death say I eat? Veterans told him that he could gnaw trees in the wilderness, eat root and chew stones.

Death can't do it, so I'll say yes.

Since then, it has been digging in the wilderness for saplings, roots and stones.

During this period, the civilian population was able to live in safety and health, and no one was sick and no one died.

Thirty years have passed.

The children of veterans have grown up.

One day death came to him and said that the term had expired and that he should be taken away.

The old man said that since it's time, bring the coffin.

Death brought an oak casket that unmasked and let the veterans lie in it.

Veterans say that the rules of service are for the platoon commander to demonstrate before he orders the soldier to do it, and he let the death do it before he gives the order.

Death lays in a coffin, saying, “The soldier, you see, should lie like this: two legs straight and two hands on the chest.” The old soldier bangs up a cap, nails it to a shovel, takes the coffin to the big car, takes it to the steep shore and pushs it into the river from the cliff.

The river washed away the coffin and brought death into the sea.

After a long time, death was washed by the waves.

On one occasion, there was a sudden storm at sea.

The waves smashed the coffin into the rock.

Shinigami has fled to shore for nine years, and the wind blows it.

Death drilled into the yard of the veterans, waiting for them to come out.

Veterans are about to plant food.

He took an empty bag and went to the barn to collect the seeds.

He just walked by the barn, and death came out of the corner to catch the veterans.

"You miss this backpack again?" You're thinking about the mud pond again?" As soon as death saw the veterans with an empty bag in their hands, it was in a state of shock that it thought it was the magic backpack, and it ran away from the sky, and it was gone.

After that, the veteran lived his life as usual.

He is said to have been alive and mocked until now。
