Chapter 406: Because of Insecurity
"Yes!" Zhuangzi laughed.
"Brother Zhuang! You badass! You're bad silver! With two fists, he pounded Zhuangzi's arm.
"Don't you worry all day about losing your gold and silver? This is not? I've spent it all, so I don't have to watch over it all day. Look at you! Alas! Speaking of this, Zhuangzi sighed.
"Brother Zhuang!"
Seeing that Zhuangzi really moved the gold and silver in her hand, Mai'er hugged Zhuangzi's arm again and curry favor.
"You can't beat my mind! You promised me! Whatever land you give me such as gold and silver, I am in charge of everything. You said! Give it to me, give it to me! I won't give it to you! I'm a housekeeper! I said if I don't give, I won't give! ”
Zhuangzi smiled: "Didn't I see that you are tired? Do you see you? In the past month, looking at gold and silver all day long, you have lost weight in a hurry! You! Money is something outside of the body, don't care so much! You know what? ”
Zhuangzi is joking, not only is he not thin, but he seems to be a little fatter. She's still so rich! And! It's getting richer.
"Brother Zhuang! Do you really like the gold and silver I have on hand? Seeing that Zhuangzi seemed to be really beating her idea, Mai'er changed her face on the spot.
"Really!"
"That's good! From today! I'll show you the cooking? What do you think you're eating today? You're all hungry for me today! ”
Everyone laughed when they saw that they were serious.
It's not the first time she's said something like this, and she said the same thing last time.
"Sell! To give! Open at noon! Have my share, don't give it to them! Whoever wants to eat pays for it. In the crowd, a protector threw a piece of silver of about five taels at the seller.
"Give! Sell! In the crowd, another man threw a piece of gold of about ten taels at the seller.
"I'll have a meal at noon!"
"Give! Sell! In the crowd, another piece of silver was thrown.
"Give! Sell! Silver! Here you go! ”
The crowd threw money at the seller like heckles.
"Don't! Don't! Whining! When she saw this, she was so anxious that she cried! But! It's not really crying, it's crying profusely.
"I'm just scaring Brother Zhuang! Where would I not give food to Brother Zhuang? I'm still raised by Brother Zhuang! Eat Brother Zhuang's food! Whining! Don't throw it away, you are not a greedy person! Mai'er promised Brother Zhuang that he would have food to eat for the rest of his life and not go hungry. If Brother Zhuang is hungry, it will be a bad seller! Whining! ”
Zhuangzi hugged Mai'er, gently patted her on the back, and comforted: "We will have money!" You see? Isn't this silver? And what about gold? Isn't it? Is there an entry and an exit? Isn't it? ”
"Brother Zhuang!" Mai'er cried: "Mai'er is afraid of the future! What will this troubled world look like in the future? Brother Zhuang! Sell scared! Woooooo ”
"That's it! All right! Zhuangzi comforted.
Originally! He wanted to take this opportunity to talk about the "miser" who sold his son, and asked him to give up that kind of thinking. It can be seen that when selling "in the future", he was worried about "in the future", so he didn't dare to say it anymore, he understood Seller.
A person who has experienced hardship is the most afraid of the future. They cherish everything in front of them. They are all very "misers", thinking of saving as much as possible for future emergencies.
Through selling, Zhuangzi understood a truth at a deep level.
That is! Why are people so wealthy?
Here's why. Because the world is chaotic, people have no sense of security. So! That's why they're so wealthy. They feel that only when we accumulate more wealth and food can we have the ability to deal with future crises.
If this society is stable, whether it is a good year, there is no war and no famine, who wants to save so much food, who wants to accumulate so much property?
If this society is stable, whether it is a good year, there is no war and no famine, who will be so selfish and only care about themselves? It is precisely because we sometimes can't even take care of ourselves, where do we have the energy to take care of others? It is precisely because we do not get help from others when we are in difficult times that we become apathetic.
Why should I help others when they are in trouble when they are not helping me? Am I stupid?
Exactly because of this! The world has become so cold!
It is because of our insecurity, our indifference to each other, that we become more selfish!
"I won't use the money I eat! I will tell you which pieces of silver were used to write books and which pieces of silver were used for eating. Again! I don't write so many books, but I still write tens of thousands of copies? Am I not stupid? I'll only write one copy, whoever likes it will copy it! ”
"Hmmm! Brother Zhuang! Listen to you! I'll tell you! With the gold and silver in my hands now, I guarantee that Brother Zhuang will have food for the rest of his life! In the future, the gold and silver will be used for Brother Zhuang to write books! Brother Zhuang! ”
"Hmm!"
Selling came out of Zhuangzi's arms, and regardless of the jokes of the people around him, he bent down and picked up the gold and silver on the ground. Just now! She didn't have time to catch the gold and silver that had been thrown over, and they all fell to the ground.
Several of the protectors around him also bent down one after another to help Mai'er pick it up.
Hearing that Zhuangzi was about to leave, the protectors were reluctant one by one. After breakfast, everyone began to ask for advice again.
In fact! There is no breakfast without breakfast, since yesterday at noon, I have been eating flowing water until now. It's just that the money shopkeeper asked the young man to bring a fresh breakfast.
A few white-haired old monsters asked a few questions, and after solving the doubts in their hearts, they all left one after another. Others are the same, they hurriedly squeeze over to ask if they have questions, and when the doubts in their hearts are solved, they all leave.
In this way, coming and going, Zhuangzi preached at home for half a month. There are still people who come to hear the sermon, but there are fewer than before.
Zhuangzi felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and if he waited any longer, if all the doubts in everyone's hearts were solved, it would not be a matter of one or two days, nor a matter of one or two years, but! A matter of a lifetime!
He must go to the Qi country immediately, otherwise! When I arrived in the country of Qi, it was almost winter. The winter in the north is still very cold, and it is not convenient to find someone. So! He decided to leave immediately.
The black-clothed senior brother and the two gray-clothed protectors were also ready, ready to follow Zhuangzi at any time.
The two brothers, who are begging for half and begging, are almost healed. In terms of martial arts, since practicing the Taoist martial arts method, he has also made progress. They are no longer so afraid of Zhuangzi, and their relationship with Zhuangzi is also undergoing subtle changes. They were also willing to follow Zhuangzi and protect the sellers.
There are a few white-haired old monsters, and they have all finished dealing with the matter at hand and are ready to follow Zhuangzi to the Qi Kingdom.
Many other Dharma protectors have also made a decision to follow Zhuangzi.
"That? You're all gone, what should I do with the paint garden? Zhuangzi asked.
Didn't you say? Do you think the lacquer garden is a Taoist base? What if we're all gone?
"As you said! Preaching is not your own business! It's the same here in the Lacquer Garden! Not by the Protectors, but! Rely on the self-government of the people of Qiyuan! Now the lacquer garden! Do we still need our protectors to teach? I'm telling you! Now Qiyuan people, everyone is a Taoist! ”
