Chapter 561: Becoming a Wasted Man
"Mr. Yuan." The old man called my master again.
My master came back to his senses and said, "Do you want your children to practice?" ”
The old man said yes, this child seems to be a little talented in this area, if he can go to the junior school, the child can live a good life in the future, and his parents can enjoy it.
Yuan Zhen said: "It's okay, old man, you are thoughtful." ”
The old man seemed to listen to my master very much, and after hearing what my master said, he answered and said, "Then I will send the child to the junior school tomorrow."
Yuan Zhen hummed: "But let's wait until the child has a cold." ”
After saying this, Yuan Zhen and I left the old man's front, and I didn't say a word from beginning to end.
After returning home, Yuan Zhen asked me, "Zhang Yan, do you have a lot of doubts in your heart now?" ”
I hummed and said yes.
I'm wondering what role Yuan Zhen plays here. If you want to learn to practice, then if Yuan Zhen is willing to teach that child a trick and a half, then the child will definitely be inexhaustible, but Yuan Zhen is hiding his identity here.
Yuan Zhen smiled and said, "Zhang Yan, we cultivators sometimes not only have to practice martial arts, but also cultivate the mind, do you remember what you were like at the beginning?" ”
Yuan Zhen's words made me can't help but start recalling the past, at the beginning, I was just an ordinary corpse digger by the Yellow River, the first time I followed my grandfather to retrieve the corpse, when I saw the corpse, I would vomit and have nightmares at night.
I have always been in awe of river gods, water ghosts, and the like.
Living a repetitive life every day, making money to support my family, if I hadn't met Yuan Zhen, my life might have ended like this.
It wouldn't have come to this point.
I thought about these things, and I was a little distracted, as if these things had passed too long, and then seemed to be in front of me in an instant
I thought about it, but Yuan Zhen didn't bother me, and after that, I said, "Master, I remembered." ”
Yuan Zhen asked me with interest, "What does it look like?" ”
I say what they are, I am what they are, I am an ordinary person.
Yuan Zhen laughed after hearing this, and said to me, Zhang Yan, you are right, you are an ordinary person, you can figure this out now, I am very happy for the teacher, come and have another drink, Yuan Zhen and I have a drink.
After drinking, Yuan Zhen said to me: "Zhang Yan, you will be here from now on, live the life of an ordinary person, when you understand it thoroughly, you will understand the meaning." ”
After Yuan Zhen finished speaking, he put down the wine glass and said, "Nothing else, I'll leave first." ”
I hummed, Yuan Zhen walked out, and when he left, he said to me: "Don't forget to wash the dishes and chopsticks later, by the way, and this is rented by me, you remember to pay the rent then!" Money here is also a currency, so you are now penniless and need to find a job to support yourself. ”
Yuan Zhen explained to me as he walked forward.
I called out to Yuan Zhen and said, "Master, don't you leave me some?" ”
Yuan Zhen's voice said: "Don't stay, I don't actually have much money." ”
After this sentence fell, Yuan Zhen's voice completely dissipated.
I was still a little confused in my mind at this time, sitting in place and thinking about this, making money, and supporting myself, when a word suddenly popped up in my head, which was sunrise and sunrise. Maybe you should live like this.
After sitting at home for a while, I raised my hand and looked at my palm, looking at the palm prints on my palm, I still felt a little lost.
As the clock ticked by, I sat from day to night.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and I got up and walked over, and there was a girl standing outside the door, about 20 years old, with spots on her face.
When she saw me, she froze for a few seconds, then asked me, "Who are you?" What about Mr. Yuan? ”
I thought she was also looking for my master, so I said that my master was not there.
She said to me, "Oh, you turned out to be Mr. Yuan's apprentice!" Remember to pay the rent at the beginning of the month! ”
I looked at her and lost my mind for a few seconds.
She said to me angrily: "Look at it, if you don't pay the rent, you don't want to live." ”
I hummed, she didn't stop after speaking, turned around and walked out the door, after I came back to my senses, I thought, it turned out to be a charter wife! After he left, I came back to my senses, and I reminded myself in my heart that I was originally an ordinary person, and it was normal to live an ordinary life now.
I went out and started looking for a job.
It's six or seven o'clock in the evening, this small city is still relatively prosperous, I took a turn, and finally saw a wine shop looking for someone, a hundred copper coins a month, including food.
I soon went to the interview, and the interview with me was an old man, the old man had a sharp beak and monkey gills, and subconsciously felt that he was not a good person, and he asked, can you bear hardships and stand hard work? I said yes.
As he spoke, the old man came up and patted me on the shoulder, and then said, "It's okay, it's quite sturdy, then you can come to work tomorrow." ”
I said okay.
I left the liquor store, and the next day, I got up early and went to work, and when I arrived at the liquor store, a guy took me to understand the environment here, and then taught me what to do, and most importantly, I must not offend the customers.
I hummed and said okay.
The guy also reminded me that because it is a liquor store, there are a lot of drunk people here, and many people make trouble, so you have to be very tolerant.
I said no problem.
The first day of work went well.
But the next day, after drinking late at night, there was a table of people, drunk and making trouble, the shopkeeper asked me to deal with it, I went forward to apologize to a few people, looking at the dress of these people, they are not ordinary people, they should be Brother Gongzi.
I went up and apologized to them.
One of them broke a bowl in front of me: "Are you drinking wine?" Is it to fool us with boiled water? ”
I explained that it was definitely the real thing.
He immediately became angry, grabbed my clothes, and said, "You dare to talk back." ”
I said to him, "I'm telling the truth." ”
"Lao Tzu told you the truth." As I spoke, he punched me in the face, and I subconsciously wanted to dodge it, but I didn't succeed in dodging, and the punch hit me right in the face, and blood oozed from the corner of my mouth at that time.
I fell to the ground.
The people who beat me were still not discouraged, and called out to their drinking companions to come forward: "Let's fight together." ”
A few people surrounded me and beat me, no one came forward to pull the rack, I had to protect my body, and in the end it was the shopkeeper who came forward and said that if I didn't take care of it, today's meal will be free.
This sentence made a few people stop, and said to me: "Boy, you'd better be careful with me next time, otherwise I will hit you once when I see you." ”
After they left, when I stood up, the shopkeeper looked at me and rebuked me, saying, "You boy do a good job, don't make any more trouble for me." ”
After listening to this, I was stunned for a few seconds, and I looked at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper immediately glared back at me and said, "Look at it, you still don't want to work." ”
Another guy quickly called me, but fortunately nothing went wrong with me, so I couldn't stay up until the end of work, and when I got home, I was sore, lying in bed, and I couldn't sleep, I looked at the ceiling all night, and the next morning I got up early and continued to work.
For several days, I gradually couldn't stand it.
I got sick, and when I got sick, the landlord came to ask for monthly rent again. I went to the liquor store to find the boss and wanted to settle the salary in advance, but the boss refused to settle the payment for me at all.
So in the end, he was kicked out by the landlord.
Walking down the street, I didn't respond for a moment, and I was still thinking about how I could live like this.
I used to be a cultivator, how did I get to this point?
In this way, I continued to work in the liquor store, but I was soon rejected again, saying that I was a sick man, and then I was fired, and I was only given ten copper coins.
With the ten copper coins in my hand, I stayed in a hotel for a few nights, and when the money was gone, I began to sleep on the street.
In the past half a month, I can't help but wonder if I'm not even as good as an ordinary person, I can't even live my own life, and how can I protect others.
Maybe I should be a wasted person, is this me not worthy of life?
Just as I was thinking this, a figure stretched by the moonlight appeared in front of me......
