Listening to Zou's words, the corners of Pinghe's eyes suddenly moistened.

He lost his father when he was a child, and it was all because of his mother's hard work to bring him up.

In addition to cultivating the family's two acres of land, my mother also had to go to the city to work with others to earn some money to support the family.

When he grew older, his mother managed to send him to the academy where he studied for three years.

Although his family is poor, he can read and write.

Later, although he did not continue to study, he gained insight that the people in the village did not have.

Zou does a lot of work very rely on eyesight, and often stay up late to catch up with work, day by day, after getting older, slowly his eyes are not very good.

Peace in the eyes and anxious in the heart.

Their family didn't have much money, and the situation in Changguo was very chaotic, and they couldn't find any good doctors.

So when he was eighteen years old, he made up his mind to go to Jing to find a miracle doctor.

In Jingguo, he studied under a famous doctor for four years.

In the past four years, whenever he earned some money, he asked his fellow villagers to bring it back to his mother.

After returning from school, when I got home, I saw that it was peaceful like five thunders.

The mother was completely blind.

Pinghe used the medical skills he learned to treat his mother's eyes, but he couldn't cure them.

Zou comforted him and said, don't worry, since he has learned medical skills, then be a doctor.

His medical skills were good, and he soon became a well-known doctor in this area.

And just like that, another two years passed.

Pinghe mainly saved some money by treating people in the city.

To treat people in the village, only medicine is charged.

He has a good nature, but his mother's illness has not been good, his life is embarrassing, and he sees that the people around him are also having a hard time, and his peaceful temperament gradually becomes extreme.

His mother often advised him to do this.

It's just that the words of persuasion are still useful at first, and after talking too much, it is inevitable that I will feel indignant again.

His chest couldn't help but rise and fall with excitement, and he said:

"Mother, why are people like you blind, why are some people domineering but healthy?"

"This world is unfair!"

"You told me to ask God, but this god has no effect!"

Zou hurriedly supported himself with his thin hands, stepped on the ground, poked his head, and shouted to his son:

"Son! Son! Don't be resentful! Beware of angering the gods, and beware of angering your body! ”

Peace hurried over to help his mother up.

"Mother!"

Although Zou is not inconvenient to move, because she is worried about bumping, as long as she wants to move, Ping He will support her.

"But, mother, you have asked me to go to the temple to worship several times, and I have gone to worship all of them, but you see, does it work? The incense money was spent a lot, and my mother's eye disease did not improve at all! ”

Peaceful and indignant.

Zou sighed.

"Son, pray God, you don't ask for this, if you offer incense, you have to ask for induction, isn't that a trade between mortals? The gift of the gods is not a sale, but a sincere request for mercy. Son, you need to be more patient and run more often. If you can't do it near our village, you can go to the city of Burning River to find a big temple to worship. ”

Gods and demons have a position in the thousand-year war.

But this position is limited to the state and the military.

Most of the people still follow the old habits and simply believe in the gods.

It's just that in Changguo, the belief in the demon god can also be spread publicly.

"Okay, mother, don't worry, I'll go to the city tomorrow after cleaning up the land at home."

Zou comforted:

"That's fine."

She added:

"Son, although I am blind, with a good son like you, I don't have to go out to make money, even if I am blind, what does it matter?"

"Alas!"

Pinghe hugged his mother, "Mother, after all, whether it is to pray to God or to think about it myself, I must find a way to cure my mother's eyes!" Even if I go to the soup, I will not hesitate to do it! ”

At night, the serving mother fell asleep and calmly crushed the herbs in her room.

After processing the medicinal herbs, he opened his account book and began to settle the accounts.

"Recently, the expenses have been too large, and there is not much money in the accounts...... Tomorrow is a routine consultation, but I have to make a good profit. ”

The next day, Pinghe got up early to clean up the two acres of thin fields at home, and then entered the city with his bags.

He first went to the homes of a few patients who had made appointments.

After that, he went to a medicine hall for most of the day.

He went into the city every three days, but fortunately, the consultation fee was not bad.

It was nearly late in the evening that he hurried to the great temple in the city.

Changguo, relatively speaking, worships Lihuo, the god of war, even more.

He didn't have any idea about the gods, he just found the biggest temple and went in.

After entering, I looked at the heroic goddess statue above and bowed down.

"The god of fire blesses my mother with a speedy return to light."

After reading peacefully, he put on a bouquet of incense that he had bought for ten cents.

Ten pennies of incense is the cheapest sold in the temple.

But anyone with a better family background will buy more expensive incense. But Pinghe is more economical in this regard, and is only willing to buy the cheapest.

Didn't my mother say that sincerity is spirituality.

Sincerity is the most important thing, money or anything is not so important.

According to local customs, Ping He kowtowed three times on the mat.

After worshipping the gods, he went to a nearby shop to buy some cooked food and hurried home.

As a result, before he left the city, he was stopped in the middle of the road.

When he saw it, it was actually an old classmate, Fan Guang, whom he knew when he was studying in the academy.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, it just so happens that a few of our classmates are in a nearby teahouse, Ah He is also going to sit down, right?"

Fan Guang is from the city, and he is very easy-going, and he had a good relationship with him in the academy before Pinghe.

"It's true, it's been a long time."

In the teahouse, five old friends sat together and chatted.

In addition to Pinghe and Fan Guang, there is also a man named Mi Long, whose family background is the best among the five.

Mi Long's father was a small official in the capital of King Chang, but Mi Long didn't like to be controlled by his father, so he came to Burning River City.

If you want to say that everyone present is the most familiar with today's situation, it is Mi Long.

He said something inside, shocking the other four.

After all, Changguo has been divided, and now the national strength is not as good as before.

Front-line news is always not very favorable.

Several important places have already fallen.

Now the officialdom atmosphere in Changguo is not good.

Many people only care about themselves, and do not care about the lives of others.

Speaking of a lot of news nowadays, the five of them sighed separately.

At six o'clock, Ping He confessed that he would go back to take care of his mother.

A few friends also knew about his family and let him go.

At half past six in the evening, Peace finally returned to the village.

Although Burning River City is not a prosperous place, compared to this village, the difference is big.

From brick buildings to earthen houses with grass roofs.

From clean, spacious streets to dirt lanes littered with livestock manure.

There weren't many people on the road.

Even if there were, most of them were the elderly, children, and women.

There are not many young people in this village, because many of them have been drafted by conscription.

Most of the villagers are dressed in shabby clothes.

The whole village is in a state of deplorable.

Ping looked at the situation along the way, and felt uncomfortable.

It was because he knew that most of the people in the village were poorer than his family, so he did not accept the medical fee.

"The way of the world, it's really difficult......"

Thinking back to the conversation he had with his friend during the day, he muttered to himself.

"There are too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the monarch is deceived by villains, even in our village, there are bullies like forest landlords......"

"Why are good people rarely rewarded, but wicked people live freely......"

Ping shook his head and went back to his home.
