Chapter 49: Greed and False Kindness

After the desperate life, in addition to being happy, greed also had more thoughts about life, he thought about it and said to himself: "Actually, I really want enough, even for the eighteenth generation of children and grandchildren." So, he hid the treasures in batches, and then took the lucky bag to the back mountain.

Although he still felt sorry for the fact that the lucky bag was about to be thrown away, he had no choice but to do so so that his gold would not turn into stone, and just as he was about to throw the lucky bag into the valley, suddenly a good idea came to the greedy mind, which was to tie a rope to the mouth of the lucky bag, and tie the other end to a big tree next to it, and then throw it into the valley, so that he could wait until the gold was used up, according to the instructions of the good god, It would be a good idea to come back at any time and pull the lucky bag tied to the rope out of the valley. Greedy and extremely excited about his cleverness, and this time he still exploited the loophole of the good god, thinking that he was quite wise; After doing all this, greedily went home triumphantly.

The first thing you do when you enter the house is to see if the gold will turn to stone again. Fortunately, everything was still normal, the gold was still gold, and it did not turn back into stone, so he was relieved, turned his head to bed, and fell asleep.

After having money, greed turned into a local tyrant, and deliberately swaggered when he went out on the street. He was originally a pure dick, and everyone didn't pay much attention to his existence on weekdays, so they didn't notice any changes in him. In order to attract everyone's attention, he deliberately held his head high, his hands behind his back, and whistled lightly to attract everyone's attention. No, those who knew the greedy soul were shocked when they saw him, they hadn't seen him for a few days, and they were a little unrecognizable, and everyone felt inexplicable for his 360-degree transformation, as novel as seeing aliens. More of them cast envious glances at him, which made Greed even more proud, and he didn't even see the beggar who came in front of him, and just like that, Greed collided with him and pulled him back to reality from the sea of joy. Greedy and angry, he scolded: "Bastard, you're blind, aren't you, you dare to hit Uncle Ben, you don't want to live, right?" ”

The beggar made reparations again and again, and at this time the greedy man had seen clearly that the other party was a weak and weak bad old man, so he became even more indomitable, and said angrily: "Do you know how much silver my clothes are worth? Can you afford to get dirty? ”

The beggar was also enraged by his words, and said: "Don't think that being rich is great, it's obvious that you hit me but you're still so fierce, isn't there just a few stinky money, do you need to shout and show off here?" ”

"How dare you despise me, yes, I am rich, so what, it is better than you as a begging beggar!" Saying that, he took out a big gold from his pocket and dangled it in front of the beggar, you should have never seen such a big gold, the beggar saw the big gold that was shining, and he felt very strange at first, but strange things also happened one after another, the light of the gold was slowly fading, becoming dim, and finally completely changed back to the appearance of the stone, and the beggar was stunned when he saw this, and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Greedy, who thought that the beggar was dumbfounded by his gold, sneered: "Look at your unproductive appearance, they all say that you must have never seen such a big gold." ”

When he said this, the beggar came to his senses, laughed, and said sarcastically: "There are people who use stones as gold to show off on the street, and they really want to go crazy for money!" ”

Greedily heard him say this, only then did he come back to his senses, and when he fixed his eyes, it was indeed a stone, and greed remembered the words of the conscience god: Do nothing bad in the dark room! Greedy and repentant, and then touched his pocket, it was clear that it was still the sound of gold, so he hurriedly leaned over to the beggar, supported him with both hands, and pretended to care sympathetically: "Old man, I was reckless just now, I didn't scare you, I was wrong!" Before the beggar could come to his senses, Greedy continued, "Are you hurt somewhere?" Shall I accompany you to see the doctor? ”

The beggar was baffled by his three-hundred-and-sixty-degree change, thinking that he was greedy and came up with a new trick to deal with him, so he hurriedly pushed his hand away and said, "Don't don't, let's not move our hands and feet, I have something to say, I'm afraid that I can't afford to pay for your clothes if I stain them later." ”

"It's okay, this dress isn't worth a lot of money, go, I'll take you to see the doctor, and I'll pay for it." Greedily dragged on to take the beggar to the doctor.

"No, you're welcome, don't take my hand, lest you wait and say that I pushed you down if you fall." The beggar was horrified by his enthusiasm.

"Okay, since you can't trust me, then I'll give you some money to see a doctor yourself, if you make a little mistake, I won't be able to go anywhere!" After saying this, greed took out another large piece of gold from his pocket and put it in the beggar's hand. The beggar pecked at the gold in his hand, it was really real gold, he had never encountered such a generous charity, and such a good show of greed made him dizzy. However, with the change just now, the beggar also had a more heart, and asked: "You don't use these ghost tricks to deceive me, do you think I don't know if this is a stone?" ”

Greed immediately defended: "No, this is indeed gold, I just played a joke on you." If you don't believe me, you can give it a try! ”

The beggar looked at the gold in his hand in disbelief, the color was bright and dazzling, weighed it again, then bit it with his mouth, and there were traces of tooth marks on the gold, and then pretended to miss, and the gold slipped from his hand to the ground, making a rhythmic rattle and not bouncing, confirming that it was indeed gold and not stone! The beggar said with joy in his heart, "Thank you very much, I think it will be enough for me to heal." ”

Greed also replied, "That's good." ”

The beggar smiled and said, "Then I'll go first and take my leave." After saying that, he turned around and left, snickering secretly as he walked, and after walking far, he still took out the gold and admired it uneasily, and bit it again, tried it, and said with a smile on his face, and said proudly: "That guy is not a fool or must be a madman!" ”

Looking at the onlookers on the side of the road, all of them were dumbfounded, confused by this dramatic scene. Greedy saw the beggar leave happily and his gold did not turn back into stone, his heart was much more steady, but he was finally relieved, only to see him take out a handkerchief and wipe it on his forehead, after finishing the matter, twisted the handkerchief, the water flowed down, what is shame, this is. Then he touched the gold in his pocket, snickered to himself like a fool, and said to himself: "Fortunately, I was quick to react and remedied it in time, so that it did not cause a catastrophe, or my hard work would have been in vain." ”

Just when Greedy was still secretly happy for his cleverness, an old man watching next to him seemed to see the clue and decided that Greed was a fool, and hurriedly approached Greedy and complimented: "Uncle Greedy, you have mercy, have mercy on me, I haven't eaten for several days!" ”

Seeing that an old man had come to please and flatter him, he got carried away again, took out a small piece of gold from his pocket and put it in his hand, and said, "It is the virtue of my spiritual people to give generously, so you can take this, weigh it and use it, and live a better life." ”

The other onlookers saw that greed was so generous, and they all swarmed around him, startling the greed that was still happy, and everyone reached out to him to beg. "To whom?" Greedily thought secretly, "It seems that I can trouble anyone now, but if I don't give it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out, and I have to find a way to break the siege." Suddenly, he had an idea, took out a few pieces of gold, and threw them in different directions, so that the spiritual heart that surrounded him just now scattered and grabbed the gold, and he himself was naturally relieved. I saw the soles of my feet disappear into the distance with a puff of smoke, and only the billowing smoke and dust behind me remained, as well as those souls who were fighting to grab the gold.

You see, money is like that, it can make the mind crazy about it.
