When Yan Xiding finished eating, when Lu Yu washed the dishes, he remembered that the mushrooms he picked up during the day today were still in the cloth bag.

Yan Xiding also saw those mushrooms, so he was unhappy, and asked Lu Yu why he didn't cook mushrooms for himself at night, and whether he had to leave them for his sister.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Lu Yu really forgot to pick mushrooms today, he had to ask Yan Xiding, if he could eat it, otherwise he would go and cook him a mushroom soup with sliced meat now.

Yan Xiding actually touched his bulging stomach and hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head and said, "Forget it, we still have serious things to do in a while, let's eat tomorrow." ”

Originally, Lu Yu wanted to go to the town alone, but now because of the mushroom matter, he felt a little "guilty", so he could only take Yan Xiding with him. Mushrooms are not easy to preserve, and there are many picks today, so Lu Yu only kept some of them, and brought the others with him.

The pork weighed two or three pounds, Lu Yu brought seven or eight pieces, and some corn beans were also taken, all of which were packed in the back basket.

I went to the town tonight and arrived at the courtyard of Xiao Mao's house, and there was an accident. Lu Yu came out of Anding Valley, originally intended to land on the roof of Xiaomao's house, but because of the moment it was transmitted, Yan Xiding suddenly moved, and Lu Yu fell directly in their yard.

What's even more coincidental is that when Lu Yu appeared, Xiao Mao was actually standing in the yard peeing, and he seemed to be frightened when he saw Lu Yu and Yan Xiding who suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Lu Yu was a little at a loss.

Fortunately, Xiao Mao knew Lu Yu, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted happily: "Uncle Yu, it's Uncle Yu." ”

Lu Yu smiled embarrassedly and said to Xiao Mao, "Didn't you sleep?" Uncle Yu brought you something to eat. ”

At this time, Xiaomao's grandmother had already heard her grandson's cry and came out. She approached and saw that it was Lu Yu, and she was stunned for a moment, and then as soon as her knees loosened, she was about to kneel down for Lu Yu.

Lu Yu reacted very quickly and helped her.

"Yu Bodhisattva, I finally saw you, you are my benefactor." The old man burst into tears, and he didn't let go of Lu Yu's hand.

Lu Yu was not embarrassed, and thought that he shouldn't have come with Yanxi, otherwise he wouldn't be discovered, let alone be called a "Yu Bodhisattva". He had no choice but to say, "I've brought you something, I'll give it to you first, and I'll have to get busy." ”

The old man disagreed, so he had to pull Lu Yu to sit at home.

Xiao Mao also tugged at the corner of Lu Yu's clothes and invited him to go home.

Lu Yu thought again, since they had all been "caught on the spot", there was nothing to hide, so he followed his grandparents and went to their home.

This is the second time Lu Yu has come to Xiaomao's house, and their house is still like that, empty, almost nothing.

It's night, and Grandma Xiaomao didn't have time to boil water and pour water for Lu Yu, so she moved two low stools and asked Lu Yu and Yan Xi to sit down.

Lu Yu put down the back basket, took out two pieces of meat, some grain and a small handful of mushrooms picked today, and put them on a shabby table, but he didn't know what to say.

Xiao Mao's grandmother thanked her for her kindness and asked Xiao Mao to kowtow to Lu Yu. Of course, Lu Yu would not let Xiao Mao kneel to thank himself, he felt in his heart that Xiao Mao should thank him, but there was no need to kneel.

"Yu Bodhisattva, I already knew that you were the one who sent us food, but you never taught me that I didn't meet it, and I didn't dare to go around telling people that the living Bodhisattva was you." The old man grabbed Lu Yu's hand again and sighed: "If it weren't for your help, Xiao Mao and I would have starved to death a long time ago." ”

Lu Yu was in a complicated mood, and he still didn't know what to say.

The old man continued: "I always say that there is a true God in this world who will bless us poor people who are helpless. Some people don't believe it, saying that if there is a god in the world, why will anyone starve to death and die of disease? Alas, I don't know how to tell them, this god is not something that everyone can meet, you have to be kind and do good deeds, so that God will bless you. ”

The old man's inexplicable call made Lu Yu a little confused, and he couldn't help but think, "What does this mean?" Are you treating me like a god? Or do I do good deeds, and the gods will bless me. ”

In fact, Lu Yu has always felt that there should be immortals in the world, but the immortals may not care about the life or death of mortals, let alone care whether they live well or not. Lu Yu sometimes wonders, when the immortals who are high up in the sky, when they look at us mortals, will they be like mortals looking at those ants on the ground? And why do people care about the quality of ants?

The old man said to himself: "I'm old, I can't live for a few years, before I die, I want to watch Xiao Mao grow up sensible, be able to support himself, and then I can close my eyes." Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were cloudy and tears flowed together: "This day is getting better and better, I took my grandson out to ask for food, and I can also come back to eat, Yu Bodhisattva, you also want to eat, and you will give me less food and drink in the future." ”

The old man's palm was slightly cold, Lu Yu held her hand, and said with a smile: "I have a lot of fields, I will send this to you, I can't shorten my own, don't worry." He had some doubts in his heart, and asked the old man again: "You said you wanted to eat when you went out, why didn't you see you go to Yangshan Village?" ”

"If you don't go to Yangshan Village, you can't go." The old man shook his head and said, "You are a living bodhisattva in Yangshan Village, I can't go to the village to disturb you, and the people in our town can't go to Yangshan Village to beg if they don't have anything to eat." ”

Lu Yu didn't understand what this said, he said: "Our village is a little better, if you have difficulties, go to the village to find us." ”

"Alas, in the past two years, life has been a little better, even if there is not enough to eat, no one will starve to death." The old man remembered the "purgatory on earth" a few years ago, and said: "This can be regarded as surviving, I have to move this old bone, and I can also help people do a little work, and I won't die of hunger." ”

Lu Yu nodded, but his heart was sour, an old man in his seventies, no land, no children and no daughters, with a young grandson, begging and doing some rough work for others for a living, what kind of person has "survived"? He tried to smile and said, "If you don't have anything to eat or drink one day, go to the village, my family has food and food." "Lu Yu has already decided, he has to run more often in the town in the future.

finally left Xiaomao's house, Lu Yu took Yan Xiding and sent food to the rest of the almost difficult families. When they got home, both of them were in a heavy mood.

Yan Xiding suddenly said, "Brother Da Yu, let's not eat steamed pork tomorrow." ”

"Why? Don't like it? ”

Yan Xiding shook his head and said: "That's not it, it's just that many people don't even have to eat, and we can still eat a large piece of meat, I can't bear it." ”

Lu Yu smiled and said: "It's rare that you have this heart, but we still have to eat tomorrow's meat, and we will pick up your parents tomorrow." ”

"Come here, come here, it's nothing new."

Lu Yu told the truth: "The people in our village want to invite your father over to teach the children to read and write, do you think he will agree?" ”

"I don't know, I guess he won't." Yan Xiding's mood was still heavy, and he said to Lu Yu again: "Brother Da Yu, why don't you also take that little Mao to your house." ”

Lu Yu said: "It's not impossible, it's just that I picked up Xiaomao, what about the other children in the town?" Do you want to pick it up too? Although Lu Yu knew that he had some "ability", he was not confident enough that he could feed another group of people with his own hands. You can hunt in Yangshan, but the prey is not endless; No matter how diligent Lu Yu is, he can cultivate more than a dozen acres of land at most.

"Alas, they are so pitiful, if only that General Shan hadn't died."

When it came to Shan Tianfang, Lu Yu's heart sank again. If Shan Tianfang hadn't died, of course it would have been better, but if he and Fang Huaru got married, it wouldn't be easy to pull and feed the original group of children.

Thinking of Shan Tianfang, Lu Yu naturally thought of the nowhere to be found Zhao Shoubei again.

Early the next morning, Lu Yu made breakfast and went to the town with meat and mushrooms. Ah Li's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and Lu Ming told Lu Yu that Ah Li will give birth in June this year.

After saying a few words to the Zhang family, Lu Yu was going to Jinhua City, and before leaving, he had an idea and said to Zhang Qiye and Lu Ming, please ask them to go to the village for dinner at noon today.

Lu Ming asked, "Why do you want to go to the village to eat?" Is there any joy? ”

Lu Yu said that he planned to invite Yan Jibai to teach in the village, and said that Zhang Qiye would go, so he could help say a few words.

Zhang Qiye immediately agreed, and said that if Yan Jibai was willing to stay in Yangshan Village to teach, he would also send his granddaughter to study with him.

Lu Yu thought this idea was good, so he made an appointment with Zhang Qiye and Lu Ming to have dinner together at noon. Lu Yu told the two of them that Yan Jibai was already on his way, so he could pick it up himself.

Leaving Dunlin Town, Lu Yu of course had to teleport to Jinhua City, and then teleport back. He thought that Lu Ming and Zhang Qiye would go to the village, no matter how fast it was, it would take more than half an hour, and he couldn't get home before them. So Lu Yu walked outside for a long time before going to Jinhua City.

We just met two days ago, and today Lu Yu came again, Yan Xi'an felt a little strange, and asked him why he came here again, if Xiding had a temper at his house.

Lu Yu shook his head and said, "No, Xiding has been very obedient recently, and I am here to pick you up for dinner." ”

Yan Xi'an was sweet in his heart, his pretty face was red, thinking that he must have missed me, and deliberately made an excuse to pick us up for dinner. She asked Lu Yu with a smile, "What are you going to eat with us?" Is there anything delicious? ”

"Yes, the lotus leaves in the yard are bigger, I want to make some lotus leaf steamed pork to eat." Lu Yu called Yan Xi'an aside again and said to her, "Actually, I want to ask your father to leave our village to teach children to read." ”

So Yan Xi'an was unhappy, she said angrily: "Hmph, I thought you were coming to me, it turned out to be because of this." ”

Of course, Lu Yu could only laugh and say, "Looking for you is the main thing, and inviting your father is secondary." ”

"Hmph, I don't believe it, you can go to him yourself."
