Chapter 076: How Much Is Worth

We didn't say much about the choice of red brocade.

Knowing Hongjin's insistence, I became calm.

Some things are done, and you may regret it, but if you don't do it, you will regret it even more.

It's Hui'an, who always felt that he was so calm and almost ruthless, it's rare to be so sympathetic, and he has made so many efforts to help Hongjin, but it has turned into a wasted water.

Before leaving, the Bodhisattva asked Hui An about me, and Hui An only understated it, but he told some things succinctly, and in general yes, and he did not mention anything about me sabotaging his practice.

Knowing this, wouldn't it be better to pat his ass more before?

"Bodhisattva, if you ask me to go around and work, it is better for me to do something more affordable. I said.

She asked, "What's the affordable?"

"Do you know what the world needs most?" I said, rubbing my fingers a few times, "money ,,—— money, no matter how much we help, it is not as reliable as they are to take money and talk." ”

Guanyin said: "I am an immortal who helps the toiling masses, so everyone who comes to worship me is asking for help, and I can only let you go around to relieve their danger." Most of those who really seek wealth worship the God of Wealth. ”

Hui An was afraid that I would say something rude, so he quickly stopped me. After the Bodhisattva left, I argued with Hui'an about it, and finally we made a bet to see if the world needed more help or money.

We met the first beggar, scruffy and ragged, lying on the stairs of a rich man, with a black bowl in front of him.

Hui An changed two steamed buns, walked over and put them in his bowl silently, and the beggar looked at him, "Good Samaritan, if you really pity me, why don't you give a few taels of silver." ”

"Why. "Hui An doesn't understand.

"Your almsgiving food will be cold after a while, and if there is a silver tael, I can eat the hot food I can buy at any time. ”

"We don't have broken silver. I prevaricated.

"It doesn't hurt if you give me the whole silver. "He opened his mouth widely.

"It's all for you, so why don't we go drink the northwest wind?" I was a little annoyed.

"How much do you have, girl, and how much are you going to give?

I took advantage of his inattention and used the stone to change three taels of silver, "I have a three-tael pattern silver here, but I only want to give you 10 copper coins." I said with embarrassment.

I don't want him to take out a large pile of broken silver and copper coins from his ragged arms, "It's okay, I can make change." ”

I stroked my forehead, a black line.

The second beggar we met was a small child, wandering around the streets, begging with his hands outstretched in front of everyone,

Seeing me and Hui'an coming over, he hurriedly ran over, "Good heart, give me some money." ”

Hui An stared at such an older child, and couldn't bear it, "Which child are you, how can your parents ignore it, go, I'll send you home." ”

"Don't. The child didn't appreciate it at all, "It's better to send me home than to give me some money." ”

Hui Anqi said: "Why is this?"

"My family is not far away, you let me go home empty-handed, didn't you let me find a fight?"

Hui An said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, who dares to blackmail you?"

"I don't know what to threaten, I just know that I can't eat hot rice if I can't get the money back. ”

"Then let's go, I'll take you to eat hot rice first. ”

"Okay, but can you take me to eat hot rice every day?"

Hui'an was speechless.

As we spoke, an old man with a cane came to us tremblingly, and although we were careful not to touch him, he fell to the ground on his back.

Hui'an was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, not wanting him to throw himself on the ground, pointing at Hui'an and crying, "Why are you so unkind to hit me, pity me for having an old wife, my son died early, and there is a few years old grandson at home to support, how is it good to call us two old and one young?"

Hui'an heard him so desolate, and he didn't intend to care about his slander, so he didn't want to go, "Old man, where is your home, let's go and take a look, maybe we can help you." ”

The old man threw himself to the ground and only shook his head. "Where are you hurt?" Hui An asked uneasily.

The old man threw himself on the ground and shook his head.

I vaguely saw some clues, "So what do you want?"

The old man held out three fingers.

"Three taels of silver?" I asked.

"Thirty taels," he said, "one tael less, and I will go to the official yamen to sue you, and then I will rely on you for the rest of my life." ”

I was annoyed, this was clearly a monkey trick, "Wow," I replied, "I'll turn into a few pieces of fake silver and give them to him."

"Lingzhu, no," Hui An grabbed my hand, "Maybe he's really helpless and needs money to save the emergency?"

"In that case, why refuse your help, since he doesn't need help, he can lie to me, why can't I lie to him?" I'm arguing with reason.

At Hui'an's insistence, we still paid thirty taels of silver, which I secretly kept from the palace's reward.

Later, he quietly followed the old man to their house, and sure enough, it was the old and the young, and the old man raised the deceived silver to prevent the elderly.

For mortals, how much can the gods count on? It is better to use silver as a kind of storage of help, which is more useful at critical moments.
