Chapter 120: Be Kind
The lunch at the inn was very rich, and a lot of silver was not spent in vain.
After the three of them had lunch, an uninvited guest came to the door of the inn, in the eyes of most people.
At the door stood an old man who looked to be in his sixties, wearing clothes full of patches, holding a bowl in his hand, not speaking, not making any movements. Just stand at the door of the inn.
The people in the inn were not surprised, and they did not make a noise to drive them away, nor did they give some money. It was as if there was no one standing at the door. The old man didn't say anything, but he didn't go away.
The three of them walked forward, Xiao Er understood the intentions of the three of them, and said to the three of them: "Don't pay attention to the guest officer, many of the beggars now are liars, they have hands and feet, maybe they will go back and wear gold and silver!
"There may be so, but I think if the burden of life can be lighter, who wants to be ragged and unkempt in the crowd. Emperor Tianqing said.
As soon as the words fell, Emperor Tianqing stepped forward, took out a few taels of silver in his arms, and handed them to the old man.
The old man did not accept the silver handed by Emperor Tianqing, but took a step back and put away the bowl. The old man shook his head and said, "I don't want money, I don't want money, just give me something to stutter." ”
When the old man said this, although his voice was not loud, many people heard it. Xiao Er's face turned red when he heard this.
The old man's words gave people endless sadness out of thin air. Yes, there may be many people who ask for money in broad daylight under the pretext of beggars' clothes and such an identity, which can also be said to be cheating.
Maybe if you don't give him money, he will scold you behind your back, or maybe he doesn't want it if you give less. It's okay not to give it.
But there are still some like the old man in front of him, he doesn't want money, he just asks for a stutter. Under the pressure of life, he just begged for food and clothing.
Emperor Tianqing opened his mouth and said, "Little Er, make a good meal on the table." Come on, uncle, come in and eat. ”
"No, no, I just want a few steamed buns, it doesn't matter if I eat it or not, I'm just afraid that my little grandson will be hungry." I'm old, I'm useless, I don't have anything at home, so I have to beg for food. The old man said with a crying voice.
"It's okay, you come in and eat first, and pack it back for your grandson to eat after eating. Zixi said.
"Thanks, no, I don't want it, I'll go somewhere else. The old man said.
Emperor Tianqing hurriedly stopped the old man and said to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, go get a few steamed buns." ”
Xiao Er answered, and ran to get the steamed buns. The old man thanked him repeatedly. Xiao Er took the steamed buns, and the emperor gave it to the old man, and the old man couldn't stop thanking him, and finally left.
Zixi asked, "Why doesn't Uncle want a table full of good dishes, just a few steamed buns." ”
Maybe that is his final bottom line, the dignity and backbone of being a human being in the end. Emperor Tianqing said.
"To be human, be kind. Zixi nodded, and then said in a loud voice.
This sentence was heard by everyone in the inn that was full. Most of them blushed, and some didn't care.
Emperor Tianqing shouted: "Little Er, the uncle will come back in the future and give him enough steamed buns." That's a hundred taels, is that enough?"
"I don't think I'm a good person, but I'm not a bad person. It's just a matter of a few steamed buns, it's okay, you can put the money away. This girl is right, you are born to be human, you must be kind. Xiao Er said.
The guests sitting in the inn and the three of them all looked at Xiao Er with appreciation. The shopkeeper at the counter looked at Xiao Er and nodded slightly.
Such people, such employees are worth cultivating. Many years later, when Xiao Er became one of the few richest people in Gaoyang City, he still remembered Zixi's words, and he always acted and did things according to this sentence.
He was very grateful to Zixi for this sentence, although at that time he still didn't know the name of the girl who said it. But this sentence changed his life. Thousands of family wealth is created by one sentence. He has always been very grateful to that girl in his heart, and he is also very grateful to the old man who came to ask for steamed buns.
Although the old man never came again, this became one of the few regrets in his life.
Be born to be human, please be kind!
Di Tianqing patted Xiao Er's shoulder and said, "It's a man to be able to say such things." You also take this money, and I believe that you will achieve a career in the future. ”
"No, no, it's just a small thing, it's too much money. I can't take it. Xiao Er said embarrassedly.
Fierce as the wind said fiercely: "If you want to take it, you can take it, what's the matter? Look down on this mere one hundred taels?"
Xiao Er hurriedly said: "How dare the little one, the little one may not be able to earn a hundred taels of silver in this life." How dare you look down on it. ”
"Then you don't take it yet. Blazing Wind continued.
Xiao Er made a difficulty, and he didn't go to get the silver. The shopkeeper hurriedly ran over and said with a smile: "He has never seen so much money as a child, and it is normal that he can't turn around for a while, don't blame the guest officer, I took this money for him." ”
Emperor Tianqing handed the silver ticket to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper took it and stuffed the silver ticket to Xiao Er. Xiao Er then the silver ticket was at a loss.
The shopkeeper patted Xiao Er and said, "Thank you for not being able to thank the guest officer." What are you doing? ”
Xiao Er reacted and hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you, guest officer!"
"Okay, it's okay, by the way, do you know how to get to the Hated Snow Tower?" asked Emperor Tianqing.
When Xiao Er heard Emperor Tianqing's words, he quickly pulled Emperor Tianqing aside and whispered: "The guest officer is going to hate the Snow Tower? ”
"Where did you see that?" asked Emperor Tianqing.
"I don't know how many years this hated snow building has existed in Gaoyang City. I heard the old people say that Gaoyang City can be preserved in the war because of the existence of the Snow Tower. In this Gaoyang City, even the city lord has to obey the orders of the Hated Snow Tower. Legend has it that the owner of the building who hates the snow building can understand people's hearts and know the world's affairs. Xiao Er said.
Emperor Tianqing was shocked in his heart, but he said without changing his face: "It's okay, we have only seen Qinxin Tower in the imperial capital, and there are a lot of fun things in it." We inquired from elsewhere that this Qinxin Building belongs to the Hate Snow Building. That's why I came here. ”
"It seems that the guest officer really doesn't know that the price of the hated snow building is very high. And it's not just money that you can get into. Even if you are rich enough to rival the country, you may not be able to get in. Xiao Er said.
Emperor Tianqing asked, "Then how can I get in?"
Xiao Er shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, there are rumors that you need someone to enter." As far as I know, no one has been able to enter the Hate Snow Building for a long time. ”
"Okay, I got it. Thank you. Emperor Tianqing said.
"It should. Xiao Er said.
