Chapter Eighty-Six: Tell the Truth
Zhang Xiaopaw looked at a group of people who had just held high the banner of morality, filled with righteous indignation, stretched out their arms and rolled up their sleeves, and wanted to correct the Fa on the spot, at this time, all of them had frightened expressions, staggering, and they were weak like frightened rabbits, Chu Chu was pitiful, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.
The scoundrel behavior of these people made him understand a truth.
When you're strong, everything you say is right. When you're weak, everything you say is wrong.
It's ridiculous, but it's realistic.
It took Lu Kaixue an hour to finish treating Niu Dawa's wounds, and his muscle-building powder and hemostatic powder were of great use, allowing Niu Dawa's new wounds to quickly stop bleeding and scarring.
After treating the wound, he gave Niu Dawa a pulse again, and the result shocked him, Niu Dawa's various physical functions recovered much faster than he imagined, the pulse was strong and powerful, and the breath was long, and it seemed that he would wake up soon.
This good news made Zhang Xiaopaw cry with joy, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat was finally played back, and the gloom in his heart dissipated by more than half.
Lu Kaixue couldn't help but peek at Zhang Xiaopaw out of the corner of his eye, he clearly knew how serious Niu Dawa's injuries were at the beginning, and if he said something unpleasant, he could already dig a pit and bury it. However, when he drank Zhang Xiaopaw's blood, his almost collapsed vitality began to recover rapidly, and all other bodily functions also increased at a straight rising rate, which was more effective than taking a panacea.
So much so that Lu Kaixue was extremely curious about Zhang Xiaopaw, wondering what kind of anti-heaven treasure he had eaten, and he still had such a powerful spiritual effect after giving Niu Dawa with blood.
But although he was curious, he didn't dare to ask. Because this is a private issue in the rivers and lakes, exploring other people's secrets will lead to death.
Four buckets of water, one and a half buckets were used to clean Niu Dawa's wounds, and there were two and a half buckets left.
Zhang Xiaopaw and Lu Kaixue filled their hearts and fed Niu Dawa some water, and Lu Kaixue took out a big water bladder from his arm and filled it full. In the end, he gave the rest to the people.
"We won the water by virtue of our ability, so why should we give it to you? It's all distributed to you, and we're afraid we're going to die of thirst. Lu Kaixue muttered dissatisfiedly while being in charge of distributing water.
He felt that Zhang Xiaopaw was a bad and good person, why should he pay attention to the unreasonable clamor of these people, not a drop of water should be distributed to them, at least let these people exchange things of equal value.
"Hey, young man, soft in heart, easy to be compassionate. Far from knowing the selfishness and indifference of human nature, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss. Lu Kaixue sighed with emotion in his heart.
Back then, he was also a kind-hearted and pure young man, who opened a small medical clinic, and the poor almost never charged money for consultation and medicine, so that the medical center could not make ends meet, and he had to rely on himself to go up the mountain to collect medicine to barely survive.
His beloved wife not only never blamed him, but always gave him warm comfort and encouragement when he couldn't hold on and wanted to give up the hospital, and she always smiled and said that good people have good rewards.
But the result?
His three-year-old beloved daughter was seriously ill and needed a very expensive medicine to cure it, which was only sold in the big medical hall of the state capital, and cost two hundred taels of silver.
Pity him, he sold all the belongings in the house, and only managed to make up twenty taels of silver.
He had no choice but to kowtow to his wife from house to house for help, but those people did not remember the past favors at all, either closed their doors or said that they had no money, and only a few families gave them some money, but it was a drop in the bucket.
In the end, his beloved daughter fell ill and died, and his beloved wife was depressed every day, and committed suicide by hanging herself in one day and night.
To this day, he still clearly remembers the night of his wife's death, he once lay in his arms and cried loudly, she cried dry tears, cried hoarsely, and muttered sadly: "It turns out that good people do not necessarily have good rewards." β
"Boy, give the old man a little more. The old man is old, and he is no more hungry than the young man. The old man on crutches handed a large porcelain bowl to Lu Kaixue, and his voice interrupted Lu Kaixue's painful memories.
Lu Kaixue looked up and saw that it was him, and suddenly raised his voice one hundred and eighty degrees, and laughed twice: "Heh-heh-"
He slapped open the big porcelain bowl of the old man on crutches, and said coldly: "Your old man is already at an advanced age, and you should have experienced all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and this life is worth it." According to your old man's reasoning, this water is a big waste for you to drink. The water should be left to the young people, and the chance to live for them, because their lives have just begun and the future is indefinite. What do you say?"
The old man on crutches was so red that he was scolded by Lu Kaixue, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Give some, young man, and let me, old man, taste the water again before I die. The old man on crutches begged with his face, and stretched out the big porcelain bowl in front of Lu Kaixue.
"You're such an old man. Lu Kaixue showed no mercy to the old man, and reached out to slap the old man's big porcelain bowl again, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaopaw.
Zhang Xiaopu stopped Lu Kaixue's hand, shook his head at him, and said, "Sir, give him a little." β
Lu Kaixue's eyes widened, and he said indignantly: "Why don't you kid remember to fight, so quickly forget how he pulled the banner to force you before? If you didn't have the strength to deter the Quartet, have you thought about what would happen to you?"
Zhang Xiaopu's eyes fell on the old man's face, and he asked in a calm tone: "Old man, if the kid doesn't have the strength to deter the Quartet, what do you think the kid will do?"
"Yes, tell me, what will happen to him?" Lu Kaikai asked.
"Thisβthisβ" The old man's face was like a pig's liver, and he was silent.
Zhang Xiaopaw pointed to Niu Dawa lying on the wooden board, and then said: "His name is Niu Dawa, and there are two younger brothers below. As the saying goes, half of the eldest eats the poor, and there are three of them in his family, so he has a very poor life, and when the harvest is not good, the family often runs out of food, and the three brothers are so hungry that they cry.
However, even under such harsh conditions, the uncle and aunt of the Niu family still want me to eat, and they would rather starve their own son than starve me, an orphan picked up under the tree.
I say all this to tell you that I give you water to drink, not because of any bullshit of yours, but simply because I feel pitiful and pity you. It is also because the grandfather of the village chief once taught the boy during the coming-of-age ceremony: born as a human being, do not seek to do good every day, but please be sure to be good.
At first glance, the old man is a well-educated person who has learned five cars, but it seems that he understands the truth less than our village chief grandfather who only knows two or three hundred words, because you don't even understand the simple truth of 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you', and our village chief grandfather began to teach us when we wore open crotch pants. β
The old man on crutches turned red, his body trembled, he raised his head and poured down a large mouthful of water from the big porcelain bowl that Lu Kaixue gave him, and then slammed the porcelain bowl to the ground, blew his beard and glared: "Shi can be killed, but not humiliated!"
"βOld fellow, you're so thick-skinned! You're so backbone, and you've got the ability to even drop the water in the bowl. Lu Kaixue said speechlessly.
Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes were cold, and he continued: "Old man, although you are not a robber, you are a thousand times better than a robber. Robbers snatch things, they still need to wield knives and guns, and one of them may even take a small life if he is not careful. And you only need to shout twice and say a few words of demagogic truth, and you can instruct others to help you take advantage of it.
Old man, although you are not a butcher, you are a thousand times more ruthless than a butcher. Butchers slaughter animals and still need white knives in and red knives out, which is clear. But you kill with words, and you don't see blood when you kill.
My brother and I have never been masked, you have never known each other, you have no grievances, why do the old people want to kill my brothers when they meet?"
The old man trembled and took several steps back, his trembling fingers pointed at Zhang Xiaopaw, the goatee jumped and jumped, and he held back his mouth for a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "The kid is full of nonsense, the old man doesn't care about you!"
With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
Lu Kaixue gave Zhang Xiaopaw a thumbs up, feeling that although Zhang Xiaopaw didn't scold the old guy, it was more relieving than scolding, every sentence was a heart-wrenching word, he felt that the old guy would definitely be angry and vomit blood by Zhang Xiaopaw if he was a little thin-skinned. However, the old guy is surprisingly thick-skinned, and he has reached the realm of invulnerability, which is really helpless.
"I'm just telling the truth. Zhang Xiaopaw said.
"Dealing with this kind of person is to kick over and talk to him about something. A voice sounded beside Zhang Xiaopaw.
Zhang Xiaopaw turned his head to look and found that it was a young man with a broken arm who didn't know where to go before, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Thank you Brother Ren for stopping and helping twice, this kindness has been recorded by the two brothers, and he will be rewarded in the future." There is still some water, Brother Ren quickly drink some to quench his thirst. β
Zhou Jianlai made his first move, supporting him and Niu Dawa with the body of the sword, preventing the two of them from falling into the ring. The second shot was when the ring collapsed, and he stepped forward in time to protect Niu Dawa and transfer it, otherwise Niu Dawa would be buried by wood.
Zhou Jianlai returned the salute with one hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome." We are both from Baiyun City, and when we meet in other places, we should help each other. I won't drink the water, I just drank it in the ring, and my stomach is still swollen. β
"Ah, Brother Ren is also from Baiyun City?" Zhang Xiaoshu was surprised and surprised, then stared at Zhou Jianlai's cheeks and frowned slightly, and asked, "I suddenly found that Brother Ren is so familiar, I don't know if I have seen it anywhere?" β
"You-" Zhou Jianlai couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he thought that Zhang Xiaopu recognized him, but Zhang Xiaopu didn't know who he was at all, but thinking of his changes, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and felt that it was normal for Zhang Xiaopu not to recognize him, so he had to introduce himself: "Baiyun City, Zhou-Zhou Jianlai." β
He originally wanted to say that Zhou Jian of the Zhou family came, but when he thought of the family's ruthlessness to him after his suffering, he couldn't help but feel a chill, so he omitted the word 'family'.
