Chapter 101: The Old Beggar
"Penglai? Grandpa, don't you hate that place the most? So why go to Penglai? Little Lori Long Wan'er said with a wink.
The white-bearded old man sighed and said, "Although there are hypocrites in Penglai, now, we still have to go." ”
Hearing that her grandfather had already said this, Little Lori Long Wan'er had no choice but to lower her head and nod in agreement.
The white-bearded old man secretly said in his heart: "Shen boy, Lao Tzu has invested in you, don't let me down, I believe in that old boy's vision, don't let the two of us down." ”
At this time, in the city of Luoyang.
"Uncle, it's okay, I haven't eaten in two days!"
"Where did you come from, stinky beggar, get out of the way!"
A beggar with a dirty face was kicked over to the side of the road.
Pedestrians on the road seem to be accustomed to this, and such a drama as the huge Luoyang City is staged every day.
But it is a fact that there are more and more beggars in Luoyang City.
One of the beggars on the side of the road was a maverick.
This beggar was different from other beggars who knelt on the ground and threw themselves up at the sight of pedestrians dressed in silk.
This beggar has a different way of begging than his other "colleagues".
The beggar lay down on the side of the road, and in front of him lay a broken pottery bowl with a missing opening.
Next to the broken bowl, a few big characters were written on the ground in upright regular script: "Begging in Fengtian." ”
Every day the beggar did nothing, just lay down on the ground, put a broken bowl and write the words "begging in Fengtian", and this strange way of begging has lasted for four days.
This way of Buddhism is unbearable, but I haven't begged for anything for four days.
Today, the beggar still writes "begging in Mukden." "Put on the broken bowl and lie down for a day.
But today, the beggar's maverick behavior has attracted the attention of several splashes in the city of Luoyang.
"Uncle, you can do it...."
"Get out of the way!" Before the other beggars' begging lines were finished, they were blasted aside by these splashes.
A few pimps came to the maverick beggar, and one of the pimps kicked the beggar who was still lying on the ground.
"Beggar, wake up...," said the leader of the pranky as he kicked it.
The beggar lying on the ground twisted his body, slowly got up, and rubbed his eyes with dirty hands: "What's wrong?" ”
"Ho, you asked me what's wrong, I said that you are too disrespectful, you open your eyes and look at the other beggars, which one is not in a hurry to beg for money, you have to lie on the ground, do nothing and still want to beg for money." The leader said to the beggar who was rubbing his sleepy eyes.
The rest of the splashes also burst into laughter when they heard this.
The beggar still wanted to leave Zhou Gong's dream, and was still in a half-asleep state.
The beggar listened to the splashing words, and pointed to the words on the ground, and then to the broken bowl on the ground.
"Ho, what do you mean?" Seeing the beggar like this, the leader said angrily.
One of the leading companions also spoke, and one of them said, "Stinky beggar, our eldest brother asks you something." ”
Another one said: "Stinky beggar, our eldest brother asked you if it was a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes, and if you have this attitude, believe it or not, I will clean you up." ”
After listening to the words of the leading pranky companions, the beggar woke up completely.
The beggar shook his neck: "What should I do, it is clearly written on the ground, where is the bowl placed, if you want to give it to you, why bother me to play chess with Zhou Gong in my dream." The beggar's voice sounded a little lazy.
"Ho, I think you really want to be beaten!" A splash rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture to beat the beggar.
The leader of the splash skin, stretched out his hand to stop the splash.
The leader of the puffy skin did not laugh angrily: "Old beggar, I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in this gourd, I ask you a few questions, and the answer is good, uncle, I have a lot of rewards, if the answer is not good, don't beat you!" ”
The beggar smiled and said: "I don't dare to think about the reward, if the answer is good, you uncles can just take care of my meal, I think it's good to go to Yipinlou!" ”
Hearing the old beggar's words, one of them was completely angry: "Don't kick my nose in the face, return to Yipinlou, don't look at you like this, I still want to go to Yipinlou..."
The conversation between these splashes and the old beggar aroused the crowd's onlookers.
Hearing the old beggar mention a product building, the onlookers also discussed, this product building is a restaurant in Luoyang City, a product building is not an ordinary restaurant, just like the name of the restaurant, this restaurant entertains all high-ranking officials with official positions (the game borrows supplies to determine the level of official positions, in fact, there was no official grade system in the Han Dynasty. )
Of course, this is an exaggeration, and Yipinlu will not only entertain the officials of Yipin, but an exaggerated statement.
Although it is an exaggeration, it is accurate that people who can go to Yipinlou are either rich or expensive.
An onlooker heard the old beggar's words and said loudly: "Old beggar, I think you are sleepy!" Have you ever been to Yipinlou, do you know what Yipinlou looks like, just talk nonsense here. ”
When the old beggar heard the words of the onlookers, he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from you, I really went to Yipinlou." ”
The old beggar's words drew boos from the crowd of onlookers.
The leader of the splash: "Old beggar, don't say that I will be with you today, I will ask you a few questions, if you can answer, I will really invite you to Yipinlou." ”
"Is that true?" The old beggar said with a grin.
"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, how could I lie to you." The leader said.
"That's what you said, you have to testify to me, don't admit it when the time comes." The old beggar said to the crowd of onlookers.
The onlookers, who also had good deeds, heard the old beggar's words and said, "Don't worry, we will testify to you." ”
Hearing the onlookers say this, the old beggar's face turned into a chrysanthemum, and he stood up and hugged his fist at the onlookers: "Then I thank you for testifying to me!" ”
The old beggar's series of antics caused the crowd to continue to laugh.
The onlookers all know that these splashes are obviously playing with the old beggars, what kind of place is Yipinlou, even ordinary foreign officials may not even have the qualifications to enter, let alone these splashes in Luoyang City, which are obviously playing with the old beggars.
The crowd of splashes and onlookers seemed to be acting in a play, for the old beggar to see, but it was not certain who was the protagonist.
"I'm relieved to have everyone testify to me, you ask!" The old beggar said.
"Old beggar, listen to me, if you can't hear it behind your ears, it won't be bad for me!" Splash said sarcastically.
The old beggar didn't care about the sarcasm, but plucked his ears with his hand: "Don't worry, I can hear it." ”
The old beggar's comical behavior once again caused the crowd of onlookers to burst into laughter.
"Old beggar, then you will explain to me the meaning of these four words you wrote?" The leader said.
"It's literal, begging in Fengtian." The old beggar said.
"Then you tell me clearly, whose meaning are you begging, and which day are you serving?" The leader pointed to the four words on the ground and said.
The old beggar pointed to the sky with his fingers, which had just finished plucking his nostrils, and said, "This is the day!" “
"Then you explain to me the meaning of these four words, how did you beg in the meaning of heaven?" The leader of the splash continued.
The old beggar paused and said: "I beg in Fengtian is to comply with the will of God, it is God who asks me to beg, then I will beg, if one day God asks me to be a great official, then I will be a great official, this is called Fengtian walking!" “
"Then you mean that everything is arranged by God." After the leader finished speaking, he kicked out the broken bowl in front of the old beggar.
The leader of the splash continued: "So now, I say that your broken bowl kicks flying, and you are also walking in the sky? ”
The leader looked at the old beggar mockingly.
The old beggar pondered, "According to you, that's fine. ”
As soon as the old beggar finished saying this, it once again caused the crowd of onlookers to burst into laughter.
"You dare to trick me, don't you know how many eyes the prince has?" The leader smiled and looked at the old beggar and said.
The old beggar replied with a smile: "I don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has, but I still know how many eyes I have." “
After the old beggar said this, he stretched out two fingers in his right hand, meaning that he had two eyes.
"How did you not understand my words, or are you playing dumb with me here?" The leader said angrily.
"Even if it's for Yipinlou, I don't dare to lie to you!" The old beggar still said with a smile.
In the face of the strange behavior of the old beggar, the leader of the pranky was speechless.
"However, I can give you a name, if the calculation is accurate, you will invite me to a meal, if the calculation is not accurate, what you want to do is at your disposal." The old beggar said.
"Ho, this is what you said, if you can't count accurately, don't blame Lao Tzu for my hard fists!" Splashy, who was worried and didn't know what to say, heard the old beggar say this, and suddenly came to his senses.
"Then you tell my fortune, I want to see how you tell my fortune?" The leader said.
"Fortune telling is easy, just let me take a closer look at your face." The old beggar said.
"Okay, then I'll let you take a closer look at my face and see what you can figure out. The leader said.
After saying that, Splashy stretched his face to the old beggar.
The old beggar was not polite, and waited until his cheeky face stretched out, and then he carefully examined it there.
After looking at it for a while, "I'm afraid that you will have a bloody disaster today, and if you don't get it right, your life will be in danger." The old beggar said.
