Chapter 43: Journey to the West (6)
Great King! The little one will take you there, and you can kill me when you're done! I have no father, no mother, no wife and no children. You just let me go, what can I do in the future? At best, on the streets, begging for food. But I don't want to live like that, I became a robber one day, hoping that a hero would kill me with a sword. Once it's over, I hope to be reincarnated quickly, no matter what punishment I suffer in the underworld, I will admit it. I want to have a father and a mother, a wife, and a few more children, so I want to live this life.
I said, "You little robber, you have a lot of ideas!" Are you killing very few people?
The robber said: The original king, when he pulled me into the gang, he brought in an old man and told me to kill the old man, which is considered my lottery for joining the gang. I wanted to kill the old man, but I hesitated whether I should kill the old man. But the old man begged me to kill him, saying that he was not long in life, and that he was dead in a hundred. The whole family was killed by robbers, and it was better for him to live in the world than to die. The old man also said that if he didn't die, I would be killed. I killed it after thinking about it, this old man.
I said, "You're going to kill this old man?"
The robber said, "Yes! Since I joined the gang, I have killed this old man. I ran very slowly every time I robbed, and when I got there, everyone was killed. So I killed very few people, but I knew that killing was killing people, and I had to pay for my life.
I said, "I can't imagine it, you are a little minion, and you think quite clearly." By the way, what's your name?
The robber said, "King! The little one has no name, and everyone calls me slow!
I said, "When you get to your lair, kill the remaining robbers." I'm thinking about you, you have to be mentally prepared!
Slow three said: King! Halfway up the mountain, there was a hidden cave. Our nest is there, but the entrance is relatively small, but the inside is the biggest.
Slow San and I arrived at the cave he was talking about. When I went in, I found that there was a cave in the sky, and there was plenty of light. I killed the few robbers who stayed inside. I used my immortal sense to find the treasure of the robber leader.
When I opened the treasure, I looked at the poor ghost bandit leader. There are a number of title deeds and house deeds, 100 taels of gold and 300 taels of broken silver. There is nothing left, really poor and no food.
I put my things away and said to Slow San: Shall I find you a father to approve of it? And there is a son, do you think it will work?
Slow three said: King! You'd better call me dead! Hungry! Find me a father, and find me a son?
I said: Yes, that's it, I see that you have a good heart, give you a way to live, don't you want it?
Slow San said: Hey! The old man's son and daughter-in-law have died at the hands of our former king, can this old man recognize me as a son?
I said, "Slow three, there are no absolutes in the world." The old man and his grandson were helpless. You don't have a chance, let's give it a try!
Slow Three Says: Okay! I'll listen to the king, I'm looking forward to this road!
I said, "You call me a hero!" Slow three, you remember!
Slow Three Says: Oh! Big... Big... Big... Man! The little one remembered.
I said, "Just remember, I'll take you away!"
I pulled the slow three, and with a leap I arrived, the old man's house.
At this time, Tang Xuanzang was comforting the old man. Wukong was in charge of guarding outside, and when he saw me coming, Wukong greeted him.
I said to Wukong: I'm done with everything, let's go to see Tang Xuanzang.
Wukong said: Wang Huwei, why do you still have a mouth? Are you telling me to open meat?
Slow San was not afraid, and now death was really a luxury for him.
I said: Wukong, don't be rude! This little minion's name is Slow Three. This old man has no children and no daughters, and there is a grandson who has no one to take with him. Just because this kid has no karma but has some merit, I want to call this kid filial to the old man and responsible for taking care of the children.
Wukong said: This matter is okay, you can consider it. How do you see that this kid has merit?
I said: I don't know, don't ask randomly, it's not good to ask too much!
Wukong said: Oh! Then let's hurry in and don't waste time.
When we entered the house, I said, "Master Xuanzang, I'm back after I finished my errands."
Tang Xuanzang said: Great, Wang Jushi, you can come back. Tell the old man Xu Rudong about it!
I said: Old Xu! None of the thieves were killed, and I was in the thief's cottage and saved a meat ticket. But according to the meat ticket, there is no one in his family either.
Slow San looked at me, his heart was full of gratitude, this Wang Daxia is really my reborn parent!
Xu Rudong said: Okay! Great, these bunches. Burning, killing, looting, doing all kinds of evil, and now someone has finally taken you in. Come, come, call that child over and I'll see, and if he really has no one at home, I'll take him as a son.
I said, "Slow three!" You go over and meet Xu Lao.
Slow San walked over, knelt in front of Xu Rudong, kowtowed three times and said: Slow San has seen Xu Lao.
Due to the lack of karma in slow three, Xu Rudong looked at Man San, and the more he watched, the more he liked it. He said several good words, and then said: Slow three, do you still have family members alive at home?
"My family is gone, and I don't know where to find them.
Xu Rudong smiled and said: "Slow three, are you good with my surname?"
Slow three kowtowed and said: Dad! I'm kowtowing to you!
Xu Rudong said: Good son, your surname is Xu Minglai now, and your name is Xu Lai.
Xu said: Dad! I finally have a surname, and I have a family. God, you've been so good to me!
Xu Rudong said: Xiaosheng, come and meet your father!
Xiaosheng walked over, looked at Xu Lai, and said hesitantly: Dad!
Xu Lai's tears couldn't stop flowing, and he stumbled back: Hey! Son! Then Xu Lai hugged Xiaosheng in his arms and cried with a whimper. Xiao Sheng also cried.
When it got dark, I went to the victims' families in the neighborhood and returned the deed and title deed. This damn robber, I worked hard to run more than 100 households, and finally got things done. When I returned to Xu Rudong's home, it was almost dawn.
I packed my luggage directly and prepared to go on the road with Tang Xuanzang and Wukong. When we came to the courtyard, the three members of the Xu family came out to see us off. I took out 100 taels of gold and 300 taels of silver and said to the Xu family: I seized this money from the bandits. If I give this money to these victimized families, it will be a drop in the bucket. So I thought of a compromise. Give the money to your Xu family, and the money you earn from business will be given to the poor. It is better to drive everyone and make everyone rich. I gave the money to Xu Rudong, what difficulties do you still have?
