Chapter Twenty-Eight: Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies?
"Brother Yong, can you use your taxi casually?" I asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hehe, this car is my own, not public, of course you can use it casually." He smiled and continued, "Senior brother, don't call me anything, okay?" You call me junior brother. ”
"Why?" I asked.
"Hey, don't care why." After saying that, he handed me a cigarette, and then took his hands off the steering wheel to light a fire for me!
"Alas, alas, wait! I'll do it myself! Hurry up and get behind the wheel! The road is so narrow, stay safe! I snatched the lighter and said to him.
"Haha, senior brother, it's not me who blows, you just have to rest assured of my driving skills!"
I don't know if it's because of his good performance or really good skills, but the feeling of sitting on this small road is as smooth as on the asphalt road.
When we arrived in the city, Li Yong drove the car to a vegetable market, and we bought half of the braised pig's head, two pig's trotters, a roast chicken, and so on, all of which were meat anyway. I made two more cases of beer in the nearby kiosk.
"Senior brother, is there anything missing in our Taoist temple? Buy a piece back. Li Yong looked at me and said.
"It shouldn't be anything, I'll buy it when the time comes." I said.
"Okay, no problem."
After we had finished buying the vegetables, we bought a big bag of steamed buns for breakfast, and we went back to the Taoist temple, where Master was playing games.
"Master, eat steamed buns!" I shouted.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Master ran out hunched over, ate a few buns in three or two and ran to play games again, I don't understand why he is so addicted to playing games like a primary school student?
"Senior brother, Master, he ......"
"Leave him alone, he'll be like that, let's go, I'll take you out for a walk." As I spoke, I took him to the small bamboo forest behind.
"Wow, brother, the scene here is quite poetic! What's that? He asked, pointing to the practice platform in the middle.
"That's the practice bench." I said.
"Huh, the practice platform?" As he spoke, he ran over and climbed onto the practice table to play a set of punches that I couldn't understand at all, which looked pretty cool!
"I said Li Yong, do you know kung fu?" I asked, surprised.
"Haha, what kung fu? It's just a set of boxing techniques learned in the army, embroidering legs with fists, so that you can laugh! He said with a laugh.
"You've been a soldier before?"
"Yes, I worked for a few years, and I started renting it out not long after I came back."
After each of us lit a cigarette, I asked, "Where's your wife?" As soon as he spoke, I could clearly see his body tremble.
"You... Are you alright? I asked.
"It's nothing, it's all gone, and it doesn't matter if I tell you." He took a few puffs of cigarette and continued: "I spent all my savings to buy this taxi, and then my wife divorced me."
"I bought a car, I thought that life would slowly get better, but she said that I spent all my money to buy a broken car, and I couldn't make much money, saying that I couldn't give her what she wanted, and finally ran away with a rich man."
He spoke very calmly, but I still saw a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Li Yong... I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked you. I know that because I asked this question, it brought back a sad past for him.
"It's nothing, it's all in the past. After she left, my daughter followed me, and my daughter was my only motivation, but I was killed by the evil spirit, so I have to avenge my daughter no matter what! His fists clenched, and I could hear the bones rattle.
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, your hatred is our hatred!" I said seriously. He turned to look at me and nodded, but didn't speak.
After we talked a lot, he never dragged his words, nor hid, I found that talking to him was very speculative, gradually, I changed my name to Lao Li, but he insisted on calling me senior brother, and I let him go.
"Lao Li, it's not early, I'm going to have lunch." Saying that, we returned to the Taoist temple, took the meat from Lao Li's car, and was about to take it into the kitchen to cut it, Lao Li ran over and said, "Senior brother, I'll come, I also learned to cook for a while before."
"Really?" But I really can't cut the meat, the cut is like a dog gnawing, and the master praised me for cutting well, in fact, because he didn't want to cut it, so he praised me with a clear conscience.
After I handed him the meat, I went to the master to observe the two "great gods" playing crossing, and I have to say that his hand speed is really god! After a while, Lao Li called us to eat, and we walked out to find that he had moved the table to the yard, and the dishes were also on the table, and it was all meat at a glance!
"The sun isn't big today, so let's eat in the yard! Come, come, Master, brother, sit down, I'll go get the wine! Lao Li said with a smile.
"Ah Fei, look, Li Yong is so sensible, look at you!" Master glared at me, then ran to the table and sat down, looking like he was stretching out his hand to eat and opening his mouth.
After a while, Lao Li ran over with a case of beer, because there was no cup, so he took three bowls, Lao Li first poured himself a bowl of wine and then knelt on the ground and said to the master: "Thank you Master for accepting me as an apprentice!" After saying that, he took care of himself and dried this bowl of wine.
"Hehe, okay, please get up." Master said.
After that, Lao Li poured a bowl of wine for one of us and said, "I wish our master and apprentice a happy relationship!" The three bowls collided together with a "bell" sound, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"By the way, Xiao Li, there is something I have to tell you." The master suddenly turned to a serious and serious voice.
"Master, if you have anything, just say it!" Lao Li said.
"What I'm going to say is the five disadvantages and three shortcomings of our Taoism."
"Master, what are the five disadvantages and three shortcomings? How come I've never heard of you? I asked, confused.
"Ahem... The so-called five disadvantages and three deficiencies, five disadvantages, that is, widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, and disability, the old and without a wife are called widows, the old and without a husband are called widows, the young and fatherless are said to be lonely, the old and childless are said to be alone, and the body is incomplete and disabled. ”
The master paused and then said: "Three shortcomings, what is lacking is money, life, and power, because we cultivators have different arts, so we can't get the same complete numerology as normal people, and we are destined to commit these five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and it's too late for you to regret it now." Master said to Li Yong.
"I don't regret it." Li Yong blurted out directly.
I want to say, can I go back on it? This is the rhythm of my life when I can't find a wife, can't have children, and is lonely for a lifetime! And there is a lack of money, a lack of life, and no power, what is this?
Besides, why didn't you ask me if I said yes in the first place? Why didn't I hear you say that there were five disadvantages and three shortcomings in the first place? This is obviously cheating me! When I thought of this, I was furious.
"Old man Gu! it!! Why didn't I hear you say that there are five disadvantages and three shortcomings in the first place? Can I regret it? I quit! ”
"Hahaha!" Unexpectedly, after hearing this, he actually smiled and leaned back, and then said: "Of course you are different, you have to learn if you don't learn, you have to learn if you don't learn, you have already learned our Taoism, it's too late to regret it!" He smiled.
At this point, I want to die, even if you forcibly take me as an apprentice, you have to make it clear, right? Is it really good to deceive my pure heart like this?
Mom and Dad, you may not be able to hold your grandson, your son is not filial! I silently shouted in my heart with a sad face.........
"Haha, look at what scares you!" After making a bowl of wine, the master continued: "The five evils and three deficiencies are not all crimes, only one of the five evils is committed, and two of the three shortcomings are missing.
Hearing this, I was somewhat comforted, the widow means old and husbandless, and I am a man, and I don't have a base, so this article is useless to me, and I am directly immune to the five evils. And the three shortages are also lacking in money and power, and there is no shortage of life, which is okay.
Wait a minute! Forget about power, how can you do it if you lack money!
"Master, how can I do this lack of money! Don't be short of money! As I spoke, I wiped a handful of snot and tears on him.
"! Don't rub your snot on me! ”
