Chapter 3: Why Good People Don't Live Longer

The biggest difference between Xiao Laosan and the villagers is that there are many books, all kinds of books, villain books, four famous books, all kinds of ancient books, Xiao Laosan said that this is all saved by him when he studied in Wuhan. Xiao Yao's favorite is Yue Fei in "The Legend of Yue Fei", he thinks that Yue Fei is simply a god-like existence, and he is obsessed with him.

Xiao Yao's favorite thing is to discuss the characters, fate, and opinions in the book with Xiao Laosan, the two of them are crowded on the same bed, the moonlight is shining, the breeze is coming, and it is very late to chat, Xiao Yao feels very interesting and happy. At this time, Xiao Yao didn't know that this kind of happiness was different from toys, no one could take it away, and it would accompany him for a long time, determining the direction of his fate, the quality of his life, and the amount of happiness.

After reading a lot of books, Xiao Yao found a problem, that is, anyone he likes has a bad fate, such as Yue Fei. He felt very uncomfortable thinking of this, Yue Fei was a character he liked very much, but in the end he was killed by the emperor. He said to Xiao Laosan: "Those who died pitifully, they are all dead, what is the use of you going to overdo?" If you can change their fate while they are alive and let them feel it, it is truly transcendent. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Laosan was silent, the truth of this world, Xiao Laosan couldn't explain it clearly to the young Xiao Yao for a while. Xiao Yao said to Xiao Laosan seriously: "Grandpa, one day, I will find a way to change their fate." Xiao Laosan touched his head and said, you have changed my fate.

Xiao Laosan usually takes Xiao Yao with him when he goes to do things for the dead people in Shili Bawan, the intention is to want Xiao Yao to learn this, and he will have a bowl of rice to eat in the future, but Xiao Yao thinks that this is all a lie, but fortunately, Xiao Laosan usually teaches him some earthworks to cure diseases with herbs. The person Xiao Yao envies the most is Xu Xiake, and he often thinks how good it would be to be able to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland like Lao Xu when he grows up.

The mountain that Xiao's tea shed is attached to is the remnant vein of the southern foot of Dahong Mountain in central Hubei Province, with dense mountains and forests, spring water in winter, and it is Xiao Yao's paradise. As soon as Xiao Yao had time to go into the pine forest of the hill, looking for caves, picking wild fruits, sometimes he would stand on the hill and look at the cemetery not far away, he did not feel scared at all, but had some intimacy.

One day, Xiao Yao woke up and found that Xiao Laosan had quietly dressed and gotten out of bed, and went out the back door with a snakeskin bag. In fact, Xiao Yao found Xiao Laosan getting up in the middle of the night many times, and at first he thought it was to solve it.

This time, Xiao Yao suddenly couldn't sleep, his eyes were open, but he saw Xiao Laosan walking to the toilet and not lying down at the head of the bed, but got up with his clothes on. Xiao Laosan went up the mountain from a path at the back door of the grass hut, a path that Xiao Yao often walked during the day. At this time, the moonlight was just right, and the low chirping of night birds could be heard in the forest.

Xiao Laosan walked in front of him, until he was halfway up the mountain, and stopped in front of a bamboo forest in front of him, Xiao Yao lay motionless. At this time, Xiao Lao Santou didn't reply, and said: "Get up, there is an earth dragon on the ground." "Tulongzi is a kind of short-tailed snake endemic to Dahongshan, extremely venomous, Xiao Yao hurriedly got up and walked to Xiao Laosan's side.

Xiao Laosan didn't look at him, he still looked at the bamboo forest, Xiao Yao also looked at the bamboo, this bamboo forest Xiao Yao is very familiar, often drilled around in it, especially in the early spring, the bamboo shoots in it broke a few back, Xiao Laosan fried a plate of bacon, tender and delicious, delicious in the world.

After looking at it like this for about three minutes, Xiao Laosan said: "There may be treasures in this bamboo forest." Xiao Yao didn't believe it: "How do you know?" Xiao Laosan smiled, took out a palm-sized cloth-like thing from his personal pocket, and handed it to Xiao Yao: "Before liberation, our family was a famous big landlord in these ten miles and eight townships, and the entire Xiaojiawan was our family's hired farmers, and half of the shops in the county were opened by our Xiao family, and everyone knew that the Xiao family was rich." ”

Xiao Laosan turned around and entered the bamboo forest, walked to the north, squatted down in front of a mountain spring, put his hand into the spring, and when he took it out, there was one more thing in his hand, there was a faint light, Xiao Laosan handed the thing to Xiao Yao. At this time, the moon is right in the clouds above the bamboo forest. Xiao Yao took it and recognized it as a gold ingot. Xiao Laosan nodded, and at this time, a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes, he raised his hand to touch Xiao Yao's forehead, and muttered to himself: "I saw it again." ”

"What do you see?" Xiao Laosan opened his mouth and only spit out two words: "Let's go." Xiao Yao was about to turn around, but found that there was something burning and shining in front of him, he looked at the ingots in his hand, looked at the front of him, and couldn't help shouting: "Grandpa." Xiao Laosan turned around: "What's wrong?" Xiao Yao pointed to the earthen wall next to the spring: "There's something glowing there." ”

Xiao Laosan listened, didn't ask again, walked over directly, took out a small shovel, dug up along the place Xiao Yao pointed to, dug about half a meter deep, and the small shovel touched something. Xiao Laosan stopped, picked it out with his hand, and pulled out an oval thing about the size of an ingot, and washed it with the bubbling spring water next to it, although the moon left the bamboo forest, it can still be seen that it is a jasper Maitreya. Xiao Laosan handed it to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao returned the ingots to Xiao Laosan, held the jade Maitreya in his hand, and Maitreya looked at him and smiled.
