Chapter Ninety-One: If You Hear It, You Change It
(Ask for subscription, ask for a monthly pass) Wangwu Mountain Lingduguan hosts Jingxuzi Dao is sixty years old, with wide robes and big sleeves, white eyebrows and long beards, and a fairy wind and bones.
Today, Jing Xuzi was idle after fasting and eating in Guanzhong, thinking of going to the small courtyard in the east to see how many people came to Guanzhong to seek medical treatment today. But as soon as he walked out of the main gate of the Taoist temple, he saw from a distance the crowd in front of the gate of the east courtyard, and the sound of noise and noise came into his ears from time to time.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a young officer suddenly emerge from the crowded crowd like a trick, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and when Lai Xing'er revealed his identity to him, he asked Lai Xing'er in confusion: "The general came to visit the temple today, I don't know what happened?" ”
Outside the gate of the small courtyard, everyone didn't pay attention, and they had already drilled out of the crowd for Lai Xing'er, and they were shocked, for fear that he would come to a wicked person in front of Jingxuzi Daoist to sue first, so they rushed to Jingxuzi and shouted: "Dao Chief, you want to uphold justice for me and other people." This boy in silver armor and a few sergeants carried a scholar-like patient not long after he came up the mountain, and despite the fact that we had been waiting here for a long time, he unreasonably forced his way into the hospital to ask for a visit to the fairy girl, and first examined the condition of the patient they had brought. We refused to answer him, and when he saw that I could not wait, he drew his sword and threatened him. I'll wait."
Jing Xuzi listened, his face gradually sank, turned around, stared at Lai Xing'er with both eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "General, is this really the case?" ”
Seeing that everyone was still holding on to the handle of the sword he had drawn first, Lai Xing'er had no choice but to approach Jing Xuzi's side and whispered: "Dao Chief, don't hide it, the patient we carried up the mountain is the big leader of the Puzhou rebels, King Pseudo Ying. When he was captured by the last general and his people in the house of Ding Laoshi in Songtai Village at the foot of the mountain, he was angry and became ill, and now his life is in danger. ”
In order to protect the Lingduguan from the war, Jingxuzi has set up a rule in the temple since the beginning of the rebellion a few years ago, all Taoist priests who practice in the Lingdu Temple and donors who live in the temple and miscellaneous servants in the temple are not allowed to have any involvement with the warring parties. Jingxuzi frowned tightly when he heard that Lai Xing'er told him that it was Li Shu, the rebel leader who had rebelled against the imperial court not long ago, who was carried up the mountain by them to seek medical treatment.
At the same time, he also secretly felt strange, Li Shu, the king of Ying, was famous all over the world, and was one of the best nobles and celebrities in the world today.
Due to the above two reasons, Jing Xuzi looked at Lai Xing'er suspiciously, and it was difficult to distinguish whether what he said was true or false for a while.
At this moment, Ding Laoshi, who led Lai Xing'er and several sergeants up the mountain, also squeezed out of the crowd sweating profusely, and shouted at Jing Xuzi with an anxious face: "Dao Chief, what the little general said is the truth, if you don't save it, I'm afraid that person will not survive!" Pray for mercy, save people first, and then talk about anything else. ”
Jing Xuzi and Ding Laoshi are quite familiar with each other, knowing that he is loyal, and he will never deceive himself, he muttered for a while, then gently pushed Lai Xing'er away, walked a few steps forward, and made a mockery at the crowd, and said slowly: "Everyone heard what this Ding Shi said just now." Ding Shizhu has lived in Songtai Village at the foot of the mountain for most of his life, and he can't trust others, and he also believes that everything he says is true, and it is not a lie. I also ask all the fathers and villagers present here today to save people's lives as the most important thing, and for the sake of the thin side of the poor road, let this opportunity for healing be given to the critically ill benefactor first. Poor Dao would like to thank you in advance. ”
A few people in the crowd originally knew Ding Laoshi, and after hearing Jing Xuzi's words, they also echoed: "Yes, we have never heard Uncle Ding lie before, and we can't help that person's condition is really worse than ours, so it's better to let him go in first."
At the same time, there were a few men in the crowd who still refused to agree, and shouted angrily: "No, that kid is too arrogant, I have to let him make a compensatory to our masters, so that this matter can be discussed." ”
The four sergeants who followed Lai Xing'er up the mountain were all jumping warriors in Fu Yi's army, and they had always been arrogant and domineering, and they had always scolded the people, where could they bear the bad words of these small people to them. The four of them glanced at each other, simply put the scholar on the ground, and invariably showed their long swords, and they were about to take a few men who were shouting to come to Xing'er to apologize to them, and kept scolding: "You shameless Diao people, if you don't bleed you, you don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is." Come, who will try the sword in the hands of the master first or it is not good! ”
"Stop."
Lai Xing'er stood beside Jing Xuzi, he couldn't stand it anymore, he shouted loudly, stopped a few of his subordinates, and then, suddenly turned around, knelt down without hesitation, and bowed three times straight to the crowd in front of the small courtyard, raised his head to face the people, and said earnestly: "Today's matter is not the same, please allow the last general to apologize to you first." If you are willing to let the patient who is carried up the mountain go to the temple to seek medical treatment, the last general is willing to kneel in front of the gate of the hospital to express the shame in your heart for your fathers. ”
Jing Xuzi didn't expect that since Xing'er's dignified six-grade official body, in the face of a group of mountain and wild village husbands, he would change it after hearing it, and he would be able to kneel down and apologize regardless of his own body, and secretly wondered in his heart: Look at this officer and military captain Although he is young, he has the demeanor of a general!
He hurriedly leaned over to help Xing'er up, twisted his hair and praised: "The ancients said: Knowing mistakes can be changed, and good is great." The general's move is out of sincerity, how can everyone not obey it? You say, "Oh, don't you?" ”
Everyone is accustomed to seeing the officers and soldiers acting as powerful and domineering, and they have never seen a general like Lai Xing'er who is willing to kneel down and apologize to him, and for a while, as if flattered, they shook their hands to Jingxuzi and Lai Xing'er and humbly said: "It's a big thing to save lives, and we don't have it."
Almost at the same time, a woman's cold voice came into everyone's ears: "His life, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save the poor Dao." (To be continued.) )
