Forty-seven, fragrant dumplings and stinky tofu
He was just about to step forward, but he felt a gust of wind, he secretly said that it was not good, and he was busy running the heavenly eye, and a white light shot out from between his eyebrows, shining on the beggar.
The beggar was quite thin, and his face was full of ash, not only in juice, but also in his messy beard, and he could not tell how old he was. I can't see it clearly in the dark.
And beside this beggar, there were two ghosts around. A fat middle-aged male ghost, a short child ghost. Looking at the beggar.
Is it to inhale yang energy? With a backhand, he grabbed out two copper coins, wanting to cover the two ghosts with the eye of heaven, and killed them with copper coins.
The fat ghost spat out his bright red tongue and wrapped it around the beggar's throat, and the tongue was three feet long, and it was about to touch the beggar's body, when a red flame suddenly appeared on his body, and directly burned off half of the fat ghost's tongue.
The fat ghost was in pain, and he was very unwilling, and commanded the child to press the beggar's feet, and he stretched out his hands and plunged them into the beggar's chest.
Zhao Yuankang didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly threw the copper coin in his hand. The copper coin streaked across the night sky and flew into nothingness.
At the same time, the beggar's body was red again, shaking the two ghosts back, and the two copper coins with a cloud of yang energy pierced through the ghost phantom, and the two ghosts were seriously injured, and immediately turned into a cloud of smoke and fled.
This beggar is a little extraordinary, he walked closer, and by the light of his mobile phone, he understood the reason why he was red.
Don't look at this beggar covered in filth and greasy, but there are holy things to restrain demons - dog blood and child urine.
Not to mention dog blood, even Yang livestock, exorcism and evil spirits are the most miraculous. And the child's urine has a magical effect of driving away evil spirits.
Everything in the world pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang, and the body of a child, the yang energy is very heavy, this yang energy is the innate masculine energy, there is no yin and evil energy in the body, so such a heavy yang energy will wash away the yin and evil energy, this is the exorcism, but it is to drive away rather than destroy.
And this beggar has another peculiar smell on his body, which makes ordinary mosquitoes avoid, by the way, it is realgar wine.
The ancients believed that realgar can restrain snakes, scorpions and other insects, "good can kill a hundred poisons, ward off a hundred evils, make Gu poison, people admire it, enter the mountains and forests and tigers and wolves ambush, enter the river and avoid a hundred poisons."
The ancients not only sprinkled realgar powder on the places where mosquitoes breed, but also drank realgar wine in the hope of warding off evil spirits and keeping themselves from getting sick.
The Chinese have the custom of drinking realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the most famous legend is that Xu Xian gave white quality to drink realgar, showing the prototype to scare Xu Xian to death, leading to stories such as breaking into the underworld, immortal mountain and stealing grass.
The beggar was covered in the smell of alcohol. Naturally, a layer of invisible qi was formed, coupled with the child's urine and dog blood, when the demon threatened, a red light burst out in an instant, breaking the demon's killing.
Zhao Yuankang looked at the strong and pungent smell of wine, and couldn't help but be angry and happy.
This beggar is really a complete drunkard, and when he sleeps, he has a bottle of wine in his hand, and this guy is ingenious, inserting a long straw in the wine bottle, and actually using the rhythm of breathing to drink.
There is really a posture of not drinking to death and not giving up.
A bottle of wine had been drunk, and he was lying on all fours on the cold ground, his clothes were covered with holes, and the exposed skin and flesh had been frozen and bruised.
Strangely enough, the beggar seemed unaffected, and continued to sleep soundly and snore.
Zhao Yuankang looked a little sad, he was kind-hearted, he was not used to seeing people who suffered, this day was cold, some people were delicacies from the mountains and seas, brocade clothes and jade food, and some people were not clothed and foody, this is the gap between the rich and the poor, and the world is hot and cold.
No wonder Du Fu has been praised through the ages, just this sentence "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." "It's a matter of eternity, and it's a nail in the head.
And "there are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy" is really a big mind with compassion and compassion.
This beggar is really a poor man, not only poor and helpless, but also suffered from the wind and frost on such a cold night, and almost lost his soul.
Although he has not achieved anything, he finally has a house to shelter from the wind and rain, a car to walk, no worries about food and clothing, and a reunion with relatives and friends.
If this had been someone else, I am afraid that he would have scolded the beggar for blocking his car. But he couldn't bear it.
I didn't want to wake him up, and I couldn't bear him to be cold. Zhao Yuankang bypassed the beggar, opened the trunk of the car, and found a thin mattress laid on the bottom. Although this mattress is a little thin and stained with some oil, it can have the effect of keeping out the cold.
He opened the left rear door, spread the mattress on the back seat, picked up the thin beggar with a short body, gently placed it in the back row, closed the door, he sat in the driver's seat and turned on the warm air, and in a short time, it was as warm as spring.
"Ahh Good sleep, good sleep. The beggar stretched his waist, but he didn't expect that the back seat was relatively narrow, and it actually rolled down from above.
"Oh, where is this?" The beggar's voice was hoarse and somewhat reluctant.
"You're awake, it's in my car." Zhao Yuankang replied.
"Hehehe, the old beggar is so big, he hasn't been in a car yet, and he will enjoy the blessings today."
The beggar simply sat in the back seat, crossed Erlang's legs, wrapped the quilt, and talked to him.
"Aren't you afraid I'll get your car dirty and smelly?"
"It's okay, it's dirty, I'll just remove the seat cushion and wash it, as for the rancid smell on your body, I have an air cleaner in this car, it's a big deal to spray a few more bottles of perfume." I can't watch you freeze to death in the back of my car, in that case, I can't tell. Zhao Yuankang said helplessly.
"Haha, you kid still have a little conscience, it's still warm in this car, but it's still the bridge hole is spacious, it's too stuffy, I can't stretch my arms and legs." The beggar scratched his head and laughed.
"You, you're really poor." He was amused by the beggar.
"I said buddy, since you have some help for me, you can do me another favor."
The beggar leaned over and asked, a sour smell coming to his nose, making him a little uneasy.
"And what do you want to eat?" He asked curiously.
"I, this belly can eat everything in the world, but I prefer coarse grains, and I especially want to eat stinky tofu with flatbread rolls today." The beggar was triumphant.
Beggars also have self-esteem, they can't afford to eat, but they say they don't like to eat. He doesn't debunk either.
"Stinky tofu? What's so delicious, you have such a strong taste! He was surprised.
"You don't understand this, this thing smells stinky, and it tastes very fragrant, especially when wrapped in freshly cooked flatbread, it's a delicacy in the world." If you don't believe it, you buy it and try it. ”
The beggar said with a smile on his face, as if he were describing a delicacy, which was really a heavy taste.
"Okay, help people to the end, but, it's so late, where can I find hot flatbread and stinky tofu?" He looked at the time on his phone, and it was already eleven o'clock.
"Go forward, turn left after three intersections, there is a Wang Ji cake shop, there is a Wang fat man, I will call the door there, no matter how late it is, he has to get up for me to make it, and he still has half a can of stinky tofu that I have saved."
Unexpectedly, this beggar is familiar with the road, and he still has such a trick, which is really admirable.
This may be the instinct of a foodie, who has always been meticulous and obsessed with food.
The beggar's old-timer Hong Qigong is a complete foodie, Xiao Huang Rong deceived the eighteen palms of the dragon with a few dishes; In order to eat the palace banquet, he almost lost his life; In order to eat poisonous centipedes, he braved the snow to go to Huashan in person. That's really eating with your life!
The beggar was not far behind, and when he arrived at Wang Ji's cake shop, he smashed open the door of the shop, and a fat man was about to scold impatiently, but when he saw that it was this beggar covered in filth, he immediately changed his face to a smile.
"You're here so late, and you want to eat stinky tofu again?" The fat man laughed.
"Got it, don't get it yet." The beggar was not polite, and sat down on a stool and waited. Zhao Yuankang also went into the house to find a chair to sit down.
"Come on, you can use it slowly." The fat man brought up a plate of bottles, which had been cut into corners, steaming, and a small glass bottle next to it, which had been opened, emitting a foul smell.
The beggar called out hello, divided the corner of the cake into two pieces, took out a gray square the size of a fingernail with chopsticks, put it in the middle of the flatbread and spread it evenly, then rolled the cake and took a big bite.
"Dude, why don't you have a taste?" The beggar turned back and asked Zhao Yuankang.
"No, it smells too bad for me to like." He confessed.
"Do you know what is true? What is Fake? What is Ugly? What is Beauty? What is Incense? What is Stink? ”
This...... This question stunned him, is it that he has grown so big, can he still distinguish between real and fake? But it seems a little hard to determine. He listened quietly to the beggar's arguments.
"Many things are hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and people's hearts are unpredictable, haven't you heard? Some people are beautiful but their hearts are dirty, and some people who are not good-looking have great wisdom and great compassion, which is also the principle that people should not be disgraced. ”
This is a simple statement, but it is the truth. He couldn't help nodding frequently, secretly sighing that this beggar was deeply Buddhist.
"Besides, this fragrant dumpling, everyone likes to eat it, but it does not have a long aftertaste of stinky tofu, and many people compete for fragrant dumplings, and they accidentally fall to the ground and are stepped on, and they become mud that no one cares about. However, stinky tofu is fermented because of little attention, which can be kept for a long time and finally has a moment to prove its value. ”
The beggar talked eloquently, like a lecturer who exalted words, spitting and dancing for a while.
"In many things, you can't just look at the surface, you can see the essence through the surface, and you are the real wise man."
"Out of the mud without staining, know the skill without using it." He remembered that these two sentences in "Caigen Tan" were quite applicable.
After eating the flatbread and stinky tofu, he drove away, and the beggar slept in the flatbread shop.
