Chapter 7: The Cry of the Bridge
Along the way, Wang Facai was depressed.
"Do you regret it now?" Ye Limit asked.
"Regret, I regret that I died, I knew that this would happen, so I ate and drank all the money I saved, and I wouldn't leave it to the dog man and woman!" Wang Facai has a lot of words.
"Don't you regret eating all that corn? You won't die if you don't eat corn mixed with rat poison. ”
Zhao Nan reminded.
"Then what to do, the bag of grain is good, and it can't be thrown away in vain, and the family doesn't raise chickens, do you want my mother-in-law to eat? I'm a little reluctant, I knew that the thing was going to kill the forehead, so I soaked it for a few more days, or I gave it to the chickens of the sixth family, who used to raise chickens, and he relied on an egg from the forehead! Wang Facai didn't realize what he was doing wrong.
Ye Liang sighed: "Okay." Now I know that you died by eating poison and grain, and it's no one else's business, now let's reincarnate well, and be a generous person in the next life, but don't be like now, your heart and eyes are smaller than a needle nose, you have lived a life to offend people, and you died in a mess, you really lived in vain. ”
Suddenly, the king became angry.
"If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, it's such a life!"
At this moment, it is almost to Baqiao, although Wang Facai is a miser, he is a ghost after all, and he is angry for a moment, and there is a strong wind near Baqiao.
Wang Facai disappeared in an instant with the strong wind. Zhao Nan asked, "What should I do?" ”
"Let him go, this person's virtue will not change even if he dies, and he may give birth to a grass crawler in the next life."
"Grass crawler?" Zhao Nan didn't know what it was.
"A kind of bug, called a tick, specializes in sucking blood, burrowing into human flesh, and eating it without pulling it."
"That's about the same as a pico."
"Bah, as far as his virtue is concerned, he is also worthy of mentioning Pixi, which is a grass crawler, a kind of worm that is disgusting and dead."
As the two of them said this, they suddenly heard a cry not far away.
Zhao Nan pointed to the river and said, "Let's go, take a look." ”
This is the Baqiao that is often used to bid farewell in Tang poems.
Baqiao is located in the east of Xi'an City, Qin Mugong dominates Xirong, changes Zishui to Bashui and repairs the bridge, called Baqiao, and under the bridge is the Bahe River. Baqiao is an important transportation artery, and the Tang people like to say goodbye here.
"Every year the willow color, the Baling is injured and farewell", "The first journey is not early, and the Ba Qiaotou stays", "The conscripts are out of the Ba Ling, how to look back on the injury", is it that the crying here today is also because of the farewell? Ye Liang listened to Zhaonan chanting the verses, and frowned: "Is this a farewell or a funeral, crying so miserably." ”
When I got closer, it turned out to be a woman in a wooden cage and about to sink into the water.
In fact, the person was locked inside, and he couldn't see the appearance clearly, and he could recognize the woman because of the long hair exposed, and the corner pants were exposed, but the blue coarse cloth was exposed, which did not look like the outfit of a young woman.
It was an old woman of fifty or sixty years old who was crying, pulling the cage and not letting go, several strong men stepped forward and broke her hands, and a white-bearded old man paused with a cane: "What are you doing, your woman has done that shameful thing, this is to save us from disaster." ”
"Yes, the master also said that this is all unjust, and you will be able to recite the scriptures excessively, so you can rest assured."
Someone next to her persuaded her.
The old woman cried bitterly: "You woman, how can you do such a thing, lose the face of the whole town, and tell me what kind of face I have to go underground to see you." ”
After scolding, he cried again: "My miserable woman......"
Ye Liang understood on the side, it seemed that the old woman's daughter had done something insulting and was going to be sunk into the Bahe River.
At this time, I listened to a few monks not far away suddenly chanting the scriptures loudly, and I couldn't understand what was being read, and the voice was hurried, as if urging people to hurry up.
The white-bearded old man waved his hand: "The auspicious time is here, go down to the river!" ”
Several strong men lifted the old woman up and pushed her aside, carried the wooden cage and threw it into the water. At this critical moment, Zhao Nan suddenly rushed out, his movements were extremely fast, and he grabbed the cage with one hand, put it firmly on the ground, and turned to look at everyone.
Everyone was stunned, even the monk who was chanting the scriptures opened his mouth wide in fright, not knowing how to continue reciting.
This is innate divine power, such a big cage, four or five big men can lift it, he actually took it easily with one hand, and then put it down gently, this person is too powerful, right?
The white-bearded old man's beard cocked: "Who are you?" Why are you destroying our Baijia Town here to clean up the portal! ”
Zhao Nan clenched his fists and said as a person from the rivers and lakes: "It's just a passerby, now it's the Republic of China, and it has long been ordered that lynching should not be abused." ”
"Hmph, no matter what country, there is a family and France has national rules, what we practice here is family law, you passer-by hurry up and cross your road, don't do much."
The white-bearded old man pointed to the cage and said, "Hurry up and throw it down, if you miss the time, our town will suffer." ”
When those strong men saw Nanlu's hand, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't dare to move forward first.
The old man pointed at them angrily and said, "It's really a shame for the people of the Bai family." ”
"Old man, why did you sink the person in this cage into the river, what did she do wrong?"
Ye Liang was worried that Zhao Nan would fight with others, so he came over and asked.
Her tone was very polite, the old man had seen a beautiful woman, his tone was respectful, he went down a little step, then twisted his beard and said: "We are from Baijia Town, all of our towns are surnamed Bai, we are the descendants of the old husband of the Qin State, and we have used the family law of our Bai family for thousands of years. Bai Ni in the cage is a widow, she is not a good widow and does not abide by the way of women, she even fornicated with the people in the temple, in the Buddhist hall, this is harmful to our whole town, if she does not sink into the river, the Bodhisattva will be guilty. ”
As he spoke, the monks behind him began to continue chanting. Ye Quan said with a smile: "Old man, I heard that Guanyin Bodhisattva once used to save people in the form of a woman, and the Bodhisattva can give up his body to save those people, maybe the people in the temple are also saving people, what kind of widow is guarded by a good girl, this kind of devastating thing about human nature, the Bodhisattva can't stand it." ”
The white-bearded old man was speechless by Ye Quan's anger, his fingers trembled, and he pointed at Ye Quan: "You...... You...... You're not done. ”
"Bodhisattva is compassionate, how can he blame your town for this? It's just a matter of two men and women who love each other, the Bodhisattva is not so stingy, many of you go to worship the Buddha, don't you still ask the Bodhisattva to bless you for a good marriage? Now that you give it, you should be happy, this is the marriage that the Buddha asked for. ”
Hearing Ye Liang say this, Zhao Nan couldn't help but stretch out his thumb, and admired in his heart: In the end, he is my boss, and his ability to fool people is much higher than mine.
The old man's beard was so angry that he curled it up, but the monk who was reciting the scriptures stopped reciting it, and came over and said, "This girl, since she is sincere and widowed, she should not lose her virginity and fornicate with others in the Buddhist hall, which has defiled the holy land of Buddhism." ”
"Hey, how did I hear that some factions still have to offer the Buddha of Joy, why don't you take them together?"
Ye Liang looked at him with a smile.
The monk's face froze: "What nonsense! ”
