My name is Lao Wu, today I am ninety-eight years old, I am not nicknamed Lao Wu, my real name is called Lao Wu, I don't have the eldest brother, the second child, the third child, the fourth brother, because my mother-in-law only knows a five words, so I named it Lao Wu.

All right! Wrong before! In fact, I am only 28 years old this year, and I say that I am 98 years old because of professional habits! I was born with gray hair, and it may have been because of this that I was abandoned, but fortunately my mother-in-law picked me up. To be honest, I don't care who my parents are at all, because my mother-in-law has always been very good to me, although we are poorer, but it seems that everyone lives like this, if it weren't for that man, I wouldn't know what is different in my life, and people like me should probably work for the landlord for the rest of their lives until I die of old age. If I had a son, he would continue to live like this. If it weren't for that man, the man named Li Yi.

Ten years ago, my mother-in-law died, I went to the door of the rich man's house and knelt for a day, I worked for the rich man for three years, and finally the rich man lent me a tael of silver to bury my mother-in-law. When I finished burying my mother-in-law, I was alone in a daze in the hut, I didn't know where to go, maybe I would continue to work at the rich man's house tomorrow.

I'm not afraid of the future, how can a person who doesn't have a future be afraid of the future? Just looking at the thatched hut where I grew up, I felt lonely, I had no relatives in this world anymore, and this loneliness was worse than hunger. But Tian Tian saw this, so he said that this man named Li Yi sent it to me.

In the days that followed, I began to slowly understand that there is no complete despair in this world, God will always give you hope, whether it is true or false, whether it is a good person or a bad person, as long as there is hope, you have to grasp it well, even if it will be desperate in the end, but at least you have it, haven't you? I also knew very well that the hope that appeared in my eyes that day came at night.

"Do you have anything to eat here?" A middle-aged man came to the door of the house and asked me

This man is so strange, am I obligated to provide food to strangers? My mother-in-law had just left, and I was in a bad mood and didn't want to answer anyone's questions, so I sat under the tree and watched everything that was familiar.

"I've got a bit of broken silver......," said the man, and delivered me a little bit of silver.

So I got angry, and I looked up to throw the silver at him, and then I saw his eyes, and what kind of eyes were they? His face was haggard as if he hadn't rested for a long time, and his eyes were tired, but his eyes were full of care and hope, and they were full of hope.

Somehow, I thought this person looked familiar, so I said to him

"There are still some leftovers from the day at home, if you don't mind, you can come to the kitchen with me."

The man nodded, went to the kitchen, ate something, and looked like he was hungry, and the meal I had left for tomorrow seemed to be gone.

"Is there a place to rest?"

After eating, the man asked unceremoniously

"You sleep in my room, I sleep in my mother-in-law's room." I said

"Good! You're not afraid I'm a bad person? ”

"In this house, the most valuable thing was this meal before, which has been eaten by you, and now the most valuable thing is this silver" I put the silver on the table, turned around and went back to sleep.

The next morning, I got up and went out, and saw that the man had not left the door.

"Why aren't you leaving? Is there something wrong? ”

He looked at me in amazement, and after a while he began to speak, of course I knew what he was surprised at, but I was used to other people's amazement.

"I was going to say thank you, but now it seems that the plans may have changed a little. How old are you and what's your name? Who else is in the house? ”

"My name is the fifth child, this year is eighteen, I grew up with my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law passed away the day before yesterday, and now there is no one else in the family."

"You were wearing a hat last night, I didn't notice, what happened to your hair?"

"I was born like this, since I was a child, others have scolded me for being a monster, unlucky! What do you think? I asked him

"I don't know, but you were born different, God must have given you special abilities!"

"It's the first time I've heard someone say that, but it's a pity that others think I'm an unlucky person."

"Since you don't have a family, and you don't seem to get along very well with the people around you, it's better to come with me." The man said

"What's the good of coming with you?"

"Benefits?" The man thought for a moment and said, "It's not good, it's just that you have one more friend." I also have one more friend."

"So what are you going to do with you?" I then asked

The man thought for a moment, and then replied, "I don't know what to do, and I'm looking for what I'm going to do in the future, maybe we'll find out what we'll do when we're together." ”

"Haha! You are a deceitful person and don't prepare a little rhetoric, so will someone follow you? I'm not so easy to deceive when I'm young. ”

"Then are you going with me or not?"

"It's okay to come with you, but you have to answer me a question!"

"You say"

"What's your name? What for? ”

Let's go first, these roads up.

"My name is Li Yi, and people on the rivers and lakes call me Pingzidao."

"Oh! Are you a Taoist priest? I asked

"No," Li Yi said

"Then you are a monk?"

"No, I'm just calling Taoists," Li Yi continued to deny

"Neither a monk nor a Taoist, why are you called a Taoist?" I laughed

"The nickname is a title given by others, and no one has asked me whether I am a Taoist priest or a monk except you, so I don't know why I am called this name."

Since then, I have left the place where I grew up, and there is no longer a tenant called Lao Wu, and since then the Aoyagi Sect has an elder called Lao Wu, the old five elders have boundless mana, and they have the ability to stay there, and the ninety-eight-year-old grade is already full of gray hair, but it looks like he is only twenty years old, and he is a famous cultivator of the Aoyagi Sect. Only Li Yi and myself know my real age, although Li Yi's status in the Aoyagi Sect is higher than mine, but I have always called Li Yi by his name, which is also what he asked, only if I keep doing this, I will not inadvertently reveal some flaws.

It's been 10 years! We have gone from having nothing to establishing Yuemu Village, no longer have to be bullied by others, not bullied by corrupt officials, Li Yi said that I have made great contributions, I know in my heart that in fact, all this is Li Yi's credit, I also once asked him, it is not right for us to lie and deceive people like this. But when he said that, I was relieved.

Li Yi said that the so-called lying and deceiving others has no more than two purposes, the first is to hurt others, and the second is to protect oneself. And if it is to protect yourself, it can be considered a white lie. But what we do looks like is outside of these two. But in essence, it's about protecting yourself.

The people of Muyuezhai used to be honest peasants, they were oppressed by the landlords and officials and had no choice, but now we use the name of the Aoyagi religion to unite these people, so that they have a common belief so that they can become a group, and only in this way can they have the strength to protect themselves, isn't that the case now......

Bang bang, there was a knock on the door outside

"Fifth master! It's time to leave for the blessing ground."

I looked at the hourglass, it was midnight at this time, and I didn't know why I suddenly thought about so many things, it was time to go to the prayer ground to do business!
