Chapter 368: Be happy at the time of harvest
After a morning of explaining the Tao and life and death, the attitude of several white-haired old monsters towards Zhuangzi changed. It's no longer the attitude of heckling, watching jokes, and taking things seriously. But! From the heart, there is a spontaneous respect for Zhuangzi.
Although Zhuangzi was only a young man in his twenties, he was about the same age as their grandson. But in their eyes and hearts, they suddenly transformed into a tall and supreme great character.
And also! For these protectors, they generally have no relatives. People who are willing to become protectors generally do not have relatives to care about. Otherwise! Who has the heart to be a protector? Who doesn't take care of their family and loved ones? It is precisely because these people have no relatives and no worries that they have become protectors and are ready to die for justice at will.
It is because these people have no relatives so! Seeing that Zhuangzi was so young and talented, he regarded Zhuangzi as his descendant from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't talk about it! Don't talk about it! Dine! Dine! Today I have a treat! I'm in for a treat! I invite everyone to eat meat! ”
An old white-haired monster stood up and interrupted Zhuangzi's words.
After he said this, everyone suddenly felt hungry. Only then did I realize that the sun had already turned west.
The people standing in the courtyard, because there was no east to block the sun, were roasted by the sun and their faces were black and red, and their foreheads were shining with salt crystals.
If it weren't for the white-haired old monster who interrupted Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi would have continued on the topic of how to survive better.
After talking about what Tao is and the theory of life and death, Zhuangzi began to talk about how to survive.
Death first, then life!
Death is something we must face and face squarely, and only when we know that life is short and not easy, will we cherish life.
Zhuangzi's preaching is in the same vein as his master Yang Zhu. At that time, Yang Zhu also preached what the Tao was, then talked about life and death, and then talked about life. When the Mojia family in Mengxian County was divided, Yang Zhu talked less about the problem of life, he mainly talked about his theory of "not pulling out a hair", and then talked about how to govern the world.
Zhuangzi plans to stop talking about the master's theory of perseverance, but to focus on life and teach the world how to live better. Zhuangzi thinks! Only when individual people are liberated can it be easily governed by society. Because! Society is made up of individual people.
If the quality of the whole people is not improved, the society is scattered, you are a god, and you can't save the world. So! If you want to rule the world, you must first cure the heart.
"I'll have a treat today!" Another white-haired old monster stood up and responded.
"Count me in!"
"Count me in!"
"Count me in!"
“……”
In response to a few white-haired old monsters, everyone in the room said that they would take their share and invite everyone to dinner. Outcome! Everyone burst out laughing!
They all say that they want to have a treat, and they are willing to pay for it, so it's not the AA system!
When the people outside heard that they were going to eat, they were all relieved. Don't say that you don't have to worry about eating, when you talk about eating, everyone is hungry.
"I've got a pancake here! Eat pancakes! ”
That's it! The seller sold her pancakes again.
But! No one paid attention to her, but everyone looked at her and smiled.
"The pancakes I baked don't taste good? Isn't it? ”
Seeing that everyone laughed at her, she thought that the pancake she baked was not delicious, so she picked it up and ate it herself. She smacked her lips and thought it was delicious. How? Everyone doesn't eat it?
"Delicious! Sell! ”
One of the people stood up and said, "It's not that the pancakes you baked are not delicious, it's because of lunch!" Someone out there is a bag! It's free! Do you smell it? It's meaty! ”
Only then did she remember that the money shopkeeper of Qiyuan Liquor Store had come to rob her business a long time ago. Yes! I heard that beef was still boiling in the cauldron outside! Heard! The money shopkeeper killed a cow and cooked it in a cauldron outside!
Hearing that the people inside were going to eat, the money shopkeeper and the black-clothed senior brother and others outside finally breathed a sigh of relief. When did you stop to eat now, and you still know that you are hungry? Not stupid, huh?
"Biography! Transmit! Transmit! ”
The young men of the Qiyuan Wine Shop hurriedly passed the free lunch that had been prepared one by one. One serving per person, a large bowl, with fish, meat and fresh vegetables in it, enough for one person to eat. It doesn't matter if it's not enough, you can also add a small bowl of the amount.
"Wine! Wine! Wine! I'm going to drink! Wine! ”
"That's right! Why don't you have alcohol? ”
"I'm going to drink too!"
"I'm going to drink too!"
"What? No wine for a free lunch? I'm going to drink! I give the silver! ”
"Quick! Fast! Bring the wine! I'm going to drink too! I give the silver! ”
“……”
Soon! There was a noise from the courtyard, and many people were very dissatisfied with the free lunch provided by the money shopkeeper, thinking that there was one thing missing, that is, wine.
"Where can you have such a good meal without wine?" There are many people who love to drink, looking at the food in their hands, they just feel that something is missing. What's missing? Naturally, it's wine.
Someone else said a fair word, saying: "This meal is also sufficient, this dish has fish, meat and fresh vegetables, and the taste is not enough, and the portion is also sufficient, but there is less wine." With such a good meal, where can you not get wine? Again! What a day it is, what a day of great joy today! It was the day when Zhuangzi opened the altar and preached! Zhuangzi's sermon is so successful, can you not celebrate? ”
Under everyone's unanimous request, the shopkeeper and the brother in black felt a little embarrassed. Today is the day of Zhuangzi's opening and preaching, where can I drink? If you drink alcohol, it's easy for someone to get drunk and make trouble. If there is a conspiracy, it is very likely that he will make trouble through alcohol.
But? If you don't give wine to others, people won't count on you, and people say they are willing to spend money to buy it in town. Anyway! There is a wine shop right outside.
"This, this, this? Can't you drink today? Today is the day when Zhuangzi opened the altar and preached? When you drink alcohol, it's easy to go crazy! This, this, this? Does this affect Zhuangzi's preaching? The money shopkeeper explained.
"Don't you listen to Zhuangzi in the afternoon? Where can I drink? The black-clothed senior brother was also persuading on the side.
"You know what a! It was Zhuangzi who opened the altar to preach today, and we are going to drink! We're just happy! What's wrong? You still don't make us happy? Are you a Taoist? What is the Taoist credo in life? Did you know? Don't affect the happy life of others, and don't let others affect our happy life. What's wrong with us drinking? We are happy! You still don't make me happy? You? You're begging for a fight, aren't you? ”
How did a protector think that the black-clothed senior brother was not a good person, he jumped out of the crowd and was about to fight with the black-clothed senior brother. OK! He was stopped and didn't fight.
"Good, good! Wine for you! The brother in black had no choice but to make concessions.
I thought: You're going to kill me? If you're going to make trouble by drinking and drinking, it's the other way around. It's not that you killed me, it's that I killed you!
"This, this, this? What does Zhuangzi mean by this? This is Zhuangzi's home! "The money shopkeeper is still a little undecided.
"Don't ask Zhuangzi! We're in charge! Today! The altar will not be opened in the afternoon! What to talk about? Zhuangzi I believe in him! The sermons he preached can be compared with his master Yang Zhu's predecessors! Afternoon! Let's drink to your heart's content! Have fun! We drank wine and congratulated Zhuangzi on the success of his sermon! ”
