Chapter 14 Thin Old Man

But it was said that when a group of seven people came to the Confucius Temple, it was already a red sun!

As soon as everyone was about to enter the temple, they suddenly heard a melodious song not far away, the tune was very beautiful, but the lyrics seemed to mock the beggars who begged for food. Don't say a short word in front of frustration, everyone hit the fire one by one!

As the song progressed, a little donkey turned a corner! Hey, this little donkey was very handsome: his body was black, black as satin, his nose was white, and his nose was as white as snow......!

Look at the donkey's back, there is an old man who is singing with his throat, seeing that this person is full of wrinkles, old and old, with the word "thin" all over his body, saying that he is skinny as wood is describing him as fat, saying that he is as light as a swallow is also portraying him as heavy, maybe everyone can blow him into the dust by taking a breath!

Look at the fat old man next to him, the two of them are fat and thin, forming a stark contrast, everyone is suddenly angry, and they don't feel it!

The thin old man closed his eyes and shook his head, immersed in the singing, as if he did not notice the people in front of the temple. But the little donkey under the crotch seemed to be a little frightened when he saw a large group of strangers, and at this moment two crows came from the tree "Wow-...... Wow-......" startled, the little donkey couldn't help but panic, and ran away, the thin old man was caught off guard, and fell in front of the temple gate with an "ah"!

Everyone hurried over to take a look, only to see that the thin old man was bleeding from all his orifices and had died of exhaustion.

Seeing this, the fat old man shouted loudly: "It's over, someone died, there was a lawsuit, it was you who frightened his donkey, he fell to his death, I am a witness!"

Hearing this, he was furious: "Old fellow, what did you see? His donkey was shocked by himself, what do we have to do with it? If you talk nonsense, I'll strangle you!"

The fat old man glared: "What? What are you doing, do you still want to kill people and kill people? I'll go to the county government to sue you!"

The fat old man said and turned around to leave, Wukong hurriedly came over and said: "The old man is angry, my brother can't speak, and he collided with your old man, but in fact, you have also seen it, this really has nothing to do with me!"

The fat old man rolled his eyes and said: "It has nothing to do with you for the time being, although this bone frame is bleeding, I don't think he is dead yet, I can save him, but I can't save people in vain, you have to pay!"

When the old golden head heard this, he hurriedly came over to calm the matter, "Okay, old friend, as long as you can save him, we can pay for it, dare to ask how much you want?"

The fat old man lowered his head and folded his fingers and calculated, "I want eight taels of silver and two hundred and sixty wen!"

As soon as the fat old man said the money, the fan next to him couldn't help but scream!

Wukong turned around and asked, "Brother Fanfeng, how many silver taels do you have there!"

I saw Fan Feng take out the silver from his pocket and hold it in his hand, exactly eight two two hundred and sixty wen.

It turned out that Ma Shanren gave an extra ten taels of silver, and everyone spent one or two or seven hundred wen for dinner, and Fan Feng himself spent forty wen to buy a phoenix hairpin!

When the fat old man saw the money, his face was happy, he snatched the silver, put it in his arms, and ran away. In the blink of an eye, I entered the woods, and I disappeared!

Everyone was stunned and didn't know what to do for a while.

After a while, the little mute said, "Hey, I'm ...... early It depends on this...... An old ...... Guy is not playing...... Yi'er, you still ....... Hey, old ...... Guy is back ...... It's coming!"

Everyone looked up and saw a little donkey galloping towards him, and the fat old man was riding on it triumphantly, dancing with his hands! For some reason, he held a reed in one hand and a handful of artemisia grass in the other!

Isn't this the mount of the thin old man just now? Could it be that the fat old man went to look for a donkey? So what is he going to do with the reeds and artemisia grass? Everyone is puzzled!

As he spoke, the little donkey was already in front of him, "Woo ......!" the fat old man gave an order, and the little donkey stood meekly.

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, the fat old man suddenly cried: "Quick, come on, help me down, I'm flustered, I'm dizzy!"

Sitting on the back of a donkey, everyone looked at each other, helpless!

Wukong came over and helped him down, and said with a smile: "Old man, why did you just go?"

"It's still hello!" the fat old man changed his smiling face, "I just said, I want to help you save people, but how can you save people without medicine, I picked fairy grass, and by the way, I also found the donkey!

Everyone worked together to carry the thin old man into the main hall!

But seeing that the thin old man's face was like yellow paper, and there was no blood at all, the little mute tried to snort, but there was not a trace of it!

The fat old man let everyone dodge, and he circled around the thin old man three times, reversed three times, and then broke off the roots of the reeds, picked a few pieces of artemisia grass and twisted them lightly in his hand, and then threw them in his mouth and chewed them!

After a while, the fat old man spit out the contents of his mouth and put it in his hand, and everyone looked at it, and suddenly felt a strange fragrance.

The fat old man leaned down, broke open the thin old man's mouth, and stuffed the herbs inside!

"Okay, reed root with coptis, the treatment of scare and gall, the bone frame will be fine for a while! Oh, I'm tired too, I'll sleep for a while!" the fat old man said and lay down on the grass next to him, hugged his chest with both hands, and let out a sigh...... , with money in his waist, he looks like a living fairy!" I saw him yawn, his eyes closed, and his snoring gradually started!

And the thin old man lying on the side began to blush at this time, and gradually his fingers seemed to move, and then his arms and legs were also shaking slightly. Suddenly, the thin old man opened his eyes and shouted heartbreakingly: "Kill me!"

The thin old man looked around and said crisply, "Who saved me, is it you, you, you, you, or you, or ...... Why is this wine bag and rice bag ......? When he falls asleep, he looks like a thing that can't be saved when he dies, and I want to die or live, and he still has the face to sleep! No, I have to smack him a few mouths!"

Wukong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Old man, don't get me wrong, in fact, we are all spectators, and he is the one who saved you!"

"He saved me? Don't be funny, how could he save me? Oh! I see, he's your father, you speak for him, right! Forget it, for your sake to save me, spare your father!" the thin old man said and sat on the ground with a snort, Wukong couldn't cry or laugh!

The little mute looked amused, and leaned forward and said, "Old ...... People, you ...... Good!"

"Old ...... People, you ...... Okay, why do you talk like that, is there something in your mouth that is tripping, it's good to talk like this, I have to learn, let me see what you have in your mouth?"

The little mute was so frightened that he quickly flashed aside, and Fan Feng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old man, he never speaks badly, it is a habit, and he doesn't have anything in his mouth!"

"Really?" he said...... Hey, your ears are big, how about I pinch them? And you! Your nose is funny, I have to touch it!"

The foreword on the old golden head said: "Old friend, don't be joking, we all saved you together, dare to ask your old surname?"

"What do you think of your surname?" you ask me what is my surname, Zhao Qiansun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, my surname is Zhou, what do you think?"

The little mute said, "Then your name is ...... What?"

"My name is ...... What? What is my name? My name is Zhou Gong, what do you think?"

"That Zhou Gong can interpret dreams!" Wukong also quipped.

"Dream interpretation? Hey, if you don't say it, I'll forget it, I'm good at interpreting dreams, and I also wrote a book called "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation", which of you has read it?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing: No wonder this thin old man can't ride a donkey, his feelings themselves belong to a donkey, go down the slope!

The little mute clutched his stomach and said, "Old ...... Sir, I ...... yesterday Day to do a ...... Dream, you explain it to me...... Solution, right?"

The thin old man looked the little mute up and down: "I don't understand the dream of a day, it's too pediatric, I understand the dream of a lifetime!

Hang Qian stepped forward and said, "Old man, how about you look at my life dream?"

The thin old man said: "The nose is pointy, the brothers are two or three, they don't agree with each other, they draw their swords to each other, they are chivalrous and heroic, they want to dominate the world, but they are just dreaming of Nanke!"

Fan Feng stepped forward and said, "Old man, what about my life dream?"

The thin old man smiled slightly: "The little brother has a spring face, and soon the mandarin ducks will play in the water and the colorful butterflies will fly, and a spring dream can come true!"

The fan who said a few words smiled and smiled, but Qiushui, who was about to step forward, stopped talking.

Seeing this, the thin old man said to Qiushui: "Little girl, warm-hearted, a curtain of dreams, eternal sorrow, when the time comes, think in the tea, think in the meal, only to frown, but in the heart, beware of eye diseases in the future!"

The old golden head coughed dryly and said, "Old friend, do you think I still have dreams?"

The thin old man couldn't help but be gloomy when he heard this: "You saved me today, it was my kindness, but if you ask me, I can't help but tell the truth, and send you eight words: Fierce dreams are impermanent, do not fight!"

The old golden head was shocked when he heard this, and Wukong hurriedly persuaded beside him: "Uncle, the theory of interpreting dreams is already nothing, and it is right to be used as a pastime and conversation, you old man must not worry too much!"

The thin old man looked at Wukong and said, "It's your turn, your dream is so rare, it's no better than Zhuang Zhou's dream!"

"What is Zhuang Zhoumeng?" Wukong suddenly became interested.

The thin old man shook his head and said: "When Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he was a butterfly and galloped freely, he didn't know that he was Zhuang Zhou, and when he woke up, it turned out to be a dream. After thinking about it, did Zhuang Zhou dream and become a butterfly, or did the butterfly dream become Zhuang Zhou?"

Wukong felt quite meaningful when he heard this, so he arched his hand and said: "Old man, I have a dream, I will come with my eyes closed, and repeat it for many days, I wonder if you can crack it?"

The thin old man said, "But it's okay to talk about it!"

Wukong said word by word: "I often dream that I am in the fog of ten miles, come to the Confucius Temple, see the impermanence of black and white asking for life, turn around and want to leave, and suddenly hear a monk say, 'Sun Monkey, that is the good person you are looking for in the tenth generation of cultivation', and then the monk pushed me to, and I woke up! I have had this dream many times, I don't know what it means?"

The thin old man thought for a moment, and said: "Dreaming into ten miles of fog proves that you are in trouble, black and white impermanence shows that the world is unpredictable, Sun Monkey dismantles and talks, Sun says that the nature of a child, the monkey is your pounding heart ape, and the monk who overthrows you is the one who saves you, this person is not trivial, and you will have your own day of meeting in the future! You must always remember from now on that the person who saved you is a great monk who has practiced for ten generations!"

Wukong was stunned when the thin old man said this......
