Dusk is approaching, and the lights are already on. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" is dressed in a shabby Taoist robe, all with Taoist hairpins. There was a knock on the door of the first one.

"What's the matter with this Daoist?" The door was opened by a middle-aged woman, apparently from an ordinary family, and the woman was dressed in coarse cloth. When he saw Chen, he was stunned and asked strangely.

"The poor road knocks on the door, asks for half a tael of lamp oil, and the lamp is a bunch." Lichen made a mockery.

"Crazy?" The middle-aged woman couldn't help but say, slammed the door shut, and muttered, "Where did the madman come from?" “。

Lichen smiled bitterly, shook his head and left to walk towards the second house. To be honest, this year's lamp oil is expensive, and ordinary people are very frugal and reluctant to order it for a while. Therefore, the matter of hitting a wall has long been mentally prepared.

There was a knock on the door, and this time it was a man in his thirties who opened the door.

"The blessing is immeasurable, and the poor Daote came to ask for half a tael of lamp oil, and a beam of lamplight." The dust is the first to go.

"Strange, and the one who turns into a relationship? Wait, I'll ask my mother" After the man finished speaking, he shouted into the house: "Mother, there is a Taoist who wants half a tael of lamp oil, and he wants to borrow a fire." "Oh, wait, I'll come". An old woman's voice was remembered in the room. After a while, an old woman who was almost fifty walked out. He had a little oil lamp in his hand and a small cloth bag of rice. The dust sweat said: "Old lady, it is enough for the poor road to borrow lamp oil and lamplight, thank you for the good fortune." The old lady did not speak. He poured a little oil into the dusty starlamp, and used the lamp to help the dust light the starlight. Lichen's heart brightened, and he resolutely refused the rice almsgiving. He saluted the old lady and blessed him: "Good fortune and longevity, long happiness and peace" After speaking, he picked up the lamp and walked into the darkness.

"That's weird." The man muttered. Unexpectedly, he was lightly slapped by his old mother and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't think this Taoist is a mortal." After saying that, he picked up the rice and went back to the house. Leaving the man alone in the wind.

"The blessing is immeasurable, and the poor road comes to borrow half a tael of lamp oil, and a beam of lamplight."

"Get out! Where did the wild Taoist come from, neurotic"...

As the night darkened, the lights thinned out. Lichen was ready to go home with the star lantern that seemed to never light up for long before it would go out again. The dark sky is still starry, how similar to the lights of thousands of homes in the world. Lichen walked to the mountain path and sighed. But I vaguely found that there were lights in the distance. Lichen hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards the faint light in the darkness.

The door opened halfway, but it was a blind old woman who opened the door. Lichen said strangely: "Fusheng is immeasurable, is there anyone in the old woman's house?" ”

"Oh, it's the Taoist. The old woman lives alone here, and there is a grandniece who will come to help take care of it every day on weekdays, I don't know what is going on with the Taoist? The old woman asked.

"Oh, old woman, why do you still light the lamp when you are alone?" Lichen asked.

"Oh, my family lives in the middle of nowhere, and when my son was young, he always said that he couldn't find a home when it got dark. Later, the son left, and the grandson said the same. Since then, I have been lighting the lamp at home, hoping that my son and grandson will come back soon. The old woman said.

When he heard this, he hurriedly took a closer look at the old woman's face, but found that the old woman had a lonely face, and the children's palace was bleak, so her son should be gone, but she was not cut off. It should be that the grandson is still at home, but I don't know why he hasn't come back here. The old woman should be destined to have no one to send her old.

"The poor road came to ask for half a tael of lamp oil, and a bunch of lights." Dust Road.

"Oh, I don't have anything else here, but I have a lot of lamp oil, and the old woman is afraid that the lamp will go out, and she doesn't know. In case the son and grandson come back one day, they should say that they can't find a home. The old woman will take you to add, and you will have to add as many lengths as you want. After speaking, the old woman took the dust all the way to the hall, where there was a porcelain jar with a basin and a large basin. There is also more than half a tank of lamp oil in the tank. On the table not far away, there was also an oil lamp, and the door was opened, probably on purpose, to light up the way home for those who went home. finish

The dust can't help but be a little stuffy. He took half a tael of oil from his lamp, and borrowed a flame from the oil lamp. Then he said: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, old woman, your grandson must come back by himself." ”

"That's good. That's good, thank you for the good words." The old woman may know that it is impossible, but she still smiled and thanked the dust.

Lichen silently bowed, turned to look at the brightly lit hut, turned around and resolutely left. The old woman was left waiting endlessly in the light.

The next day, the mother-in-law told her niece and granddaughter who was taking care of her about the previous night. The niece smiled: "You said that the Taoist yesterday also went to my house yesterday." But as long as half a tael of lamp oil and then borrow a fire, it is strange. Yesterday a lot of people in the village saw it! It's a pity that my mom scolded people for being crazy and closed the door. My father said a few words to her, and then they quarreled for most of the night. My grandfather was angry and quiet. The niece said. The old woman didn't say anything. Silently thinking about what the Taoist priest who borrowed lamp oil said to him yesterday.

said that the next day, Lichen got up early and called Yunhua to prepare for the north. After hearing this, Yunhua hurriedly went to pack his things. Lichen looked at it, and as if he remembered something, he ran into Yunhua's room, and found that Yun Fox was still asleep. Then he stepped forward and grabbed the fox by the neck and picked it up, shook his head and said secretly: "Good guy, it's fat again." How will I find a daughter-in-law in the future?" The fox was sleeping soundly, and he felt like someone was scratching him. He opened his eyes in a daze, but saw dust. I was relieved. Regardless of the fact that he was still being carried, he continued to sleep. "What's the matter, you have to be eaten on the first day you want to be released into the wild." The dust muttered. I don't care about that, and I will resolutely shake the fox awake. Ignoring the fox's resentful eyes, he said, "We're going to be away for a while." Get on the road today, don't sleep. I'm going to be pigs." 、

Lichen and Yunhua both changed back into their robes, left the town in the surprised eyes of the neighbors, and walked all the way north.

"Master, where are we going?" Yunhua asked.

"Kanwai Prairie". Lichen replied, raised his head and looked at the north, and continued: "We borrowed the lights all the way through."
