Why?

That's a long story, but I have to start with my grandfather.

My grandfather's name was Mao Hongwu, and the Mao family was also a big family in ten miles and eight townships, also known as the big landlord, and in the most glorious period, there were 366 shops connected by a dozen streets in the city.

As the old saying goes, 'moral heirlooms, more than ten generations, farming and reading heirlooms are secondary, poetry and books heirlooms are secondary, rich heirlooms, but three generations' This is very reasonable, like the Mao family, a family that has been in business for generations is most afraid that the people are not prosperous enough, and they are more afraid that their children and grandchildren will squander and do not learn and have no skills.

In the years of the Republic of China, it was passed to my grandfather's generation that he was left with such a single seedling, Mao Hongwu's previous two brothers died, and when he was born, his daughter-in-law died in childbirth, and the old man Mao was already more than half a hundred years old, Nuoda's family business was actually enough for Mao Hongwu to live several lifetimes, but he refused to learn well, of course, this is also related to the social environment at the time, when he was a child, he was addicted to martial arts, beat people and hurt people all day long, and later became infected with gambling, and Wanguan's family property was almost defeated.

When Mao Hongwu was young, he was proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and in the end, Old Man Mao couldn't stand it anymore, and he was heartbroken all day long for the future of this lone seedling. All the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem, so the old man Mao asked someone to sell some of the family's property, went to the city and bought more than a dozen streets that were originally connected to his own shop, and then rented them to others for free, with only one condition, that is, after his death, each store would invite his son Mao Hongwu to eat for a day every year, and he could never tell Mao Hongwu the reason.

Within a few years, the old man died, Mao Hong had no restraints, and he was even more lawless, everything he could be in the family was done, and in the end, the poor didn't even have a big son. Fortunately, the old man had the foresight to arrange a back road for him, and someone came to the door to invite him to eat after being hungry at home for a few days, and immediately moved to leave without thinking about it, and the next day at dawn, someone came to invite him to come to the door as a guest, and so on and so on for several years, even if Mao Hongwu was stupid and suspicious, so many people invited me to eat every day without relatives, and no one said the reason.

If there is something in this person's heart that is not resolved, it will be knotted, and after a long time, he will not think about it, so Mao Hongwu thought of a way and made an honest family. On this day, it was the family's turn to invite Mao Hongwu to come to dinner, and Mao Hongwu followed him to the door. When the wine and dishes were all ready, Mao Hongwu didn't move the chopsticks, the family felt strange in their hearts, and they usually ate almost without waiting for the dishes to be ready.

Mao Hongwu shook his head and stared at the wine and food on the table, pretending to have no appetite and said to others, how embarrassed it is to eat you like this all day long, eating so inexplicably, I am not at ease in my heart, and I can't sleep well at night, so I will never eat the meal you invited to eat from now on.

The family is honest and honest, and they are a little panicked when they hear Mao Hongwu say this, Old Man Mao is so good to himself, if he can't even do this little thing that the old man explained when he is dying, what kind of face will he use to meet Old Man Mao under Jiuquan in the future.

But Mao Hongwu is determined not to move the chopsticks, no matter what the family says, he can't bear to move the chopsticks. In the end, it was really no problem, and the family discussed it and felt that it was just such a matter, and it was better to tell him that it was better than letting him starve to death, so they told Mao Hongwu what Old Man Mao said before he died.

Mao Hongwu immediately slapped the table and said, how troublesome it is, just pay some money from each of you to buy the storefront, and save me from running to your house every day, and find someone to call me, how troublesome.

The old man just explained not to tell Mao Hongwu about it, but no one said that he would not let the store be bought out, at first the family did not agree, how much is a meal, why spend all that money to buy it. Later, after Mao Hongwu said this idea, others didn't care about that, and it was my own to buy out Zixiao, otherwise I would always be a tenant.

It didn't take long for the three hundred and sixty-six shops to be sold out, Mao Hongwu's purchase of the store in the city was spreading, and immediately there were old gambling friends who came to the door, and it didn't take long for the little money to buy the store to lose even the last house, and finally was kicked out of the house by someone who broke a leg, and ended up homeless, Mao Hongwu, who had no relatives and no reason, had to hold a bowl taken out of the house, dragging a broken leg to live a begging life.

There are many beggars in troubled times, if they have the strength and courage to go to war with the troops, or become bandits. That night, Mao Hongwu rested in a broken temple, the wind was blowing outside, and he couldn't sleep at all, and suddenly a cat meow made Mao Hongwu shiver, and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and the ceramics outside were shattered, revealing a golden bowl inside, which made Mao Hongwu happy, and thought that his father knew that he was short of money, and the next day he took the golden bowl to exchange for cash and healed his broken leg.

With the rest of the money, he went to ask his former gamblers to introduce him, followed a small local warlord, and became a small leader. In these years, all kinds of warlords were fighting, no matter how many people there were, as long as they had guns in their hands, they could pull up a team, but they got up quickly and were destroyed quickly, and within a few years the team was also broken up, and Mao Hongwu fled back to his hometown.

Because there is no other craft and ability to make a living except for the strength of the shoulder, and he is unwilling to work hard, he does more and earns less than he does, so he found a mountain forest to do the work of a hunter.

Relying on his own soldiers, he came back with two guns in his hand, because he had never done it before, and he didn't know anything about hunting, and he was afraid of being caught by the gendarmerie during the day, so he chose to go up the mountain in the middle of the night.

I have heard people say before that hunting should first put bait, so Mao Hongwu bought two taels of pig blood and two taels of noodles. He found a place to sprinkle it on the ground, and then retreated to a place five or six meters away and waited quietly, but what he didn't know was that the eyes of all animals that came out at night were more than a hundred times better than him, not to mention that he was only five or six meters away, even a hundred meters away could find him. After waiting for several days, the pig's blood stinks, and the rice and noodles have worms, and I don't see half of the living creatures.

But he was stunned and didn't give up, this night he carried the gun up the mountain, and in the second half of the night, there was a rustling sound of leaves in the direction of the bait, Mao Hongwu was happy, and quickly opened his eyes and looked at the place where the bait was placed, listening to the sound This prey must not be small, he took the gun and aimed, and by the moonlight he saw a black thing approaching the bait, and he didn't see what it was, and he shot with a bang, afraid that this shot would not work, and stood in place and made up a few shots.

I thought it should be a big guy this time, I walked closer and took a look, I almost didn't scare him to death, a ball of meat mud was squirming in the ground, no matter what it was, I was about to run, the meat mud suddenly picked up Mao Hongwu's legs, and I fell on a when I was unstable under my feet, and I was trying to get up and continue to run, but the meat mud didn't give him this chance at all, and he dragged Mao Hongwu's feet to death, and couldn't move at all, Mao Hongwu took advantage of this stall and hurriedly ran away.

When I ran back home, I didn't have a complete piece of fabric on my body, and I was still afraid when I remembered what had just happened, but I was strange in my heart, what was it? I was thinking about it all night, and early in the morning, Mao Hongwu had the courage to go up the mountain again, thinking that he wouldn't hit ghosts again in the middle of the day.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, Mao Hongwu was afraid of another accident, so he was cautious along the way, and when he arrived at the place, he found that the bait he put yesterday was still there, and the shells of the bullets that shot out were still there, but the meat mud was gone.

At this time, I don't know when there was an old Taoist priest behind him, and he silently made Mao Hongwu almost faint with fright, and the old Taoist priest asked him, "What are you looking for?" ’

Mao Hongwu was scared enough, and said impatiently that it has something to do with you, don't be a stinky Taoist, Lao Tzu shot you. The old Taoist priest didn't move when he saw that his Yin Tang was black, but just shook the dust on his hand where the hair was about to fall out and said, "Recently, the **** came back to find me, I'm still waiting for you here tonight."

After speaking, he didn't go back, Mao Hongwu saw that there was no gain, he didn't care about scolding two sentences and went down the mountain, and when he returned home, he just felt his throat dry when he was black, and he always wanted to drink water, but he drank a lot of water but didn't see the toilet. If you continue like this, you will die of thirst.

That night, Mao Hongwu had a gun pinned to his waist, and he went up the mountain with two kettles hanging on his body, and the old Taoist priest was really waiting for him there, Mao Hongwu thought about it, so he raised his gun and pointed at the old Taoist priest and said What kind of poison did you fuck Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu didn't know how much water he drank this day, believe it or not, Lao Tzu shot you with a shot.

The old Taoist priest saw that the gun didn't say a word and shook the dust in his hand, Mao Hongwu's gun took off, Mao Hongwu was stunned by this sudden change, at least the gun in his hand could be strong and courageous, but he didn't expect it to be taken away so easily, and immediately it was like being dug up, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, kneeling and begging the old fairy to spare his life.

The old Taoist priest helped him up, "You are a natural broken star, you haven't done anything to hurt the heavens and reason except for ruining your family wealth, and fortunately you didn't fight last night, otherwise you wouldn't have seen this tonight, now it's not difficult for me to save you, you just need to worship me as a teacher, and quit gambling from today."
