Chapter 120: Angry Monk
(Cat flutter Chinese) In this era of food and clothing, people could not imagine those who lived in a disaster year, at that time, people were actually no different from animals, and they only thought about one thing every day, filling their stomachs.
Nowadays, the most bitter time is to gnaw white steamed buns, drink tap water, salt and rice, but in those three years, the old people who have experienced it will clearly remember that when the bark is boiled, the corn stalks are chopped and porridge is boiled, and the food that pigs do not eat is eaten up, some people can only use Guanyin soil to satisfy their hunger, and food is simply a big problem.
When animals are hungry, they will not only eat their own kind, but also their mates and offspring, and it is said that in the year of disaster, people ate people and cannibalism.
I was deeply impressed by a true story, saying that there was a family who had eaten all the things they could eat in the house, and the bark and grass around them were gone, and one night, the man was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he directly used a knife to chop his wife who had fainted from hunger, and cut off the meat in large pieces and put it in the pot to cook it.
The man also had a pair of children, so he slept in the room next to him, and the smell of cooked meat woke up the two people, and without saying anything, he directly scooped up the meat in the pot and ate it with the man, until he was almost full, he remembered and asked: "Dad, why didn't my mother get up and eat the meat?" ”
The man said with red eyes: "Your mother has starved to death, this is your mother's meat!" ”
The two teenage children cried when they heard this, but they did not put down the meat in their hands, and continued to eat while crying, and in two days, they ate a thin woman clean and buried her bones in the ground.
However, a few days later, the father and son were hungry, and the man thought about killing his daughter to eat, so he discussed with his son and attacked his sister at night.
Who knows, the daughter found out, and immediately cried and said, let her father and brother not eat her, she has a way to get meat.
The teenage daughter ran out of the house immediately, looking for those who were a little fatter in the village, deceiving them to have food, and after the deception came home, the father and son directly attacked behind the back and killed the person.
In this way, an adult and two children no longer worried about food, and after a month, they even ate fat.
Eventually, the villagers discover their secrets and find a pile of human bones in their house, and the angry villagers join forces to kill all three of them.
After all, people are still different from animals, they have moral feelings, those cruel things are not accepted by normal people, and people who eat people are called demons.
The fat monk's words made me think of these at once, and I also understood his words, the two starving ghosts he protected were killed by Zhang Laohan before his death.
"At the beginning, the two of them, no, it should be said that they were a family of three, and they were all killed by Zhang Laohan, do you think they shouldn't take revenge?" Seeing that I was silent, the fat monk said again.
I was speechless, and if I were a fat monk, I would have made the same choice to help those two starving ghosts get revenge.
However, I don't understand why the fat monk waited until yesterday to let the two starving ghosts do it, and why he didn't let him kill Zhang Laohan and his son at the beginning.
I asked Zhang Laohan the reason, and the fat monk took a deep breath and said: "Cutting grass must be eradicated, and evil must be eliminated!" ”
I was shocked, the fat monk was ruthless enough, he was going to let the starving ghost kill all of Zhang Laohan's family.
I couldn't help but say, "Buddhist disciples, aren't they all compassionate, why are you so ruthless?" ”
The fat monk said to Amitabha Buddha and said, "The poor monk is angry monk, and for those who are not good, there will be no compassion. ”
I smiled dryly, I didn't expect the fat monk to look kind on the surface, but I didn't expect it to be an angry monk.
However, I still don't understand, all the starving ghosts raised in the village are enemies, and they were killed by the people in the village before their deaths?
Without waiting for the fat monk to speak, the village chief on the side hurriedly interjected: "I swear, I have never killed anyone!" ”
When the fat monk heard the village chief's words, he snorted coldly, and immediately took out the rag from Zhang Laohan's corpse, threw it in front of the village chief, and said sharply: "Do you think I don't know who you are?" ”
Seeing the rag, the village chief's face changed, and he muttered, "It turns out that the master has known for a long time. ”
The fat monk looked angry and said, "I know that you may not have killed anyone with your own hands, but you should know how many people you forced to die." ”
The village chief was silent, his face full of guilt, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "I know, master, you let the other hungry ghosts also seek revenge on us." ”
The fat monk shook his head and said: "No need, I know, there are people in your village who have sincerely repented, and there are also people who have never done bad things, not all starving ghosts want to ask you for their lives, but you have to atone for what you have done and raise them for a lifetime." ”
The village chief was shocked, and said with a complicated face: "I understand." ”
The fat monk waved his hand: "You go back first, it's best not to tell the villagers about this matter, I have something to say to the Heavenly Master." ”
The village chief hummed, gave me a deep look, and left.
After the village chief was gone, the fat monk said to me again: "Donor, what are you going to do?" ”
I thought for a moment and said, "Master, I probably know the identities of these villagers, and they should all be the descendants of those four people." ”
Fat He nodded, as long as you know history, you should know what the four surnames Zhang, Wang, and Jiang Yao mean, and their descendants are hiding in the four fishing villages.
I hummed, I've guessed this, but I still don't understand, the starving ghosts should have appeared before they became red armband soldiers, at that time, there were no red armband soldiers, how could they become enemies with the starving ghosts.
The fat monk sighed and said, "You should also know who the red armband soldiers are, they were all young students at the earliest, but they were all ruffians and hooligans who joined later. ”
I was stunned, saying I knew about it.
The fat monk continued, "Back then, when the catastrophe came, these four villages were not affected, because this is the confluence of the three rivers, and there are countless fish and shrimp in the river water that can be used as food. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that not all places were affected by the catastrophe that year, and there were still many places that did not worry about food, such as the coastal areas, where they could rely on water to draft water.
"Many of the victims also thought of this at the time, so many people came here to beg for food, but the people in these villages, not only did they not save them, but they also turned them away, and they did not allow the victims to go into the water to fish, and they wanted to starve people to death."
The fat monk continued.
I frowned, there are countless fish and shrimp here, feeding tens of thousands of people is not too big a problem, and fish and shrimp can also be exchanged for other food, so to speak, the three rivers can feed more than 100,000 people is not a problem.
Those people, who don't save themselves when they die, are to protect their own selfish interests, which can be understood in normal times, but the disaster year is too much.
The fat monk changed his words and said: "However, the number of victims of the disaster is several times greater than that of the people in the village, and they can't stop it if they want to, so they came up with a poisonous plan, and even pretended to agree with the victims to go into the water to fish, and also took out food for the victims to eat, but those victims never dreamed that the food was poisoned!" ”
I was shocked, that were tens of thousands of victims!
Speaking of this, the expression on the fat monk's face became angry, and he continued in a deep voice: "In this way, tens of thousands of people, regardless of men, women, and children, were all poisoned and passed out in one day, and those villagers pushed everyone into the river!" ”
My breath was short, it was so bad!
The fat monk suddenly asked me, "Do you know why the poison they gave was only **, not a deadly poison?" ”
I shook my head, indicating I didn't know.
The fat monk said angrily: "Because they still think that after pushing people into the water, they can feed the fish and shrimp under the water, and wait for a bumper harvest in the coming year, so overnight, tens of thousands of corpses floated down the river to the front of the Buddha, so that the Buddha felt sad and indignant when he saw it, and there was a legend of the Buddha's apparition." ”
Hearing the fat monk say this, my heart was blocked, so these people in the village are really damned.
The fat monk said again: "My Buddha is merciful, knowing that these things are the affairs of the previous generation, and should not be implicated in the future generations, but after that, the people in the four villages not only did not receive any punishment, but went to be soldiers with red armbands, continued to harm people, and forced many people to commit suicide." ”
Hearing this, I gradually understood that the people in the village had such a thing before they became red armband soldiers.
The fat monk continued: "It's a pity, they didn't kill people with their own hands, so the sin does not constitute a capital crime, but the death penalty can be avoided, and it is impossible to escape the crime, and those victims who were killed by them have become starving ghosts after death, since this is the case, I will put away all those starving ghosts, and put them in four villages, so that the people in the village can support them for a lifetime as punishment!" ”
I completely understood, after doing it for a long time, everything was done by the fat monk.
It's just that why are the people in the village killed by the starving ghost when they go out and come back again?
The fat monk explained: "When they leave the village, they are evading their responsibilities, so for everyone who leaves the village, I will let the starving ghosts follow them and monitor their every move." If they do good deeds outside, it will be fine, and after ten years, the hungry ghosts will naturally leave them, but everyone who goes out, none of them are good people, perhaps, it has something to do with their blood. ”
Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of ruffians and hooligans are born to make holes, although I don't really agree with this sentence, but this is the case, only a few people's descendants are more competitive, different from their elders.
"However, there is another reason why I let the starving ghosts kill them, and that reason makes it impossible for me to forgive them and continue to let them live!"
At this time, the fat monk said again. Cat flutter Chinese
