Later, every time she did a good deed, Mrs. Li wrote it down at any time; Because she can't write, every time she does a good deed, she uses a goose feather tube and prints a red circle on the calendar, and the so-called good deeds, including giving food to the poor, or buying live things to release them, etc., have to be recorded in this way. Sometimes more than a dozen of these red circles can be recorded in a day! Of course, it means doing more than a dozen good deeds in a day. These efforts were not in vain, in the year of Bingxu, Li Yuanwai actually won the Jinshi again, not only that, but the Ministry of Officials also quickly let Li Yuanwai serve as the county commander of a county, you know, even if you are admitted to the Jinshi, most people can not be an official immediately, you have to wait for a vacancy, you have a chance to be, and Li Yuanwai is very smooth.

When Li Yuanwai was making a county order, he prepared a booklet with a space, this booklet, Li Yuanwai gave this booklet a name, called "Cure the Heart" is to always remind yourself not to have evil thoughts, not to harm people's hearts, therefore, take the word "cure the heart".

Li Yuanwai gets up every morning and when he is promoted to the court to try the case, he will put the chapter on the table, and the things he does in a day, no matter how he laughs, must be recorded in the chapter on the treatment of the heart. In the evening, Li Yuanwai would set up a table in the courtyard, wear official uniforms, and burn incense and pray to the Emperor of Heaven like Zhao Yuedao, the iron-faced imperial historian of the Song Dynasty, every day.

But when the lady saw that he was busy with his official duties every day, and that he had no time for the kind of good deeds that he had done before, she often frowned and said, "I used to be at home to help you do good deeds, so that the three thousand good deeds you have made can be fulfilled." Now that you have made a wish to do 10,000 good deeds, and there is nothing good to do in the yamen, when will you be able to do it? ”

Madame's words also made Li Yuanwai a little confused, yes, he is busy with official business all day, how can he have so much time to do those good deeds such as helping the poor and repairing bridges and roads as before.

Thinking day and night, Li Yuanwai dreamed of a god. He told the gods of his worries, and after hearing this, he laughed loudly and said: "There are thousands of good deeds, and it is a good thing to help the poor, build bridges and roads, and respect the old and the virtuous, but as a county magistrate, you have reduced the county's money and food, and this alone can be worth 10,000 good deeds."

It turned out that in the county where Li Yuanwai worked, the people had to pay two cents and three cents of silver per mu of land, and Li Yuanwai felt that the people's financial burden was too heavy and their lives were too hard, so he cleaned up the fields in the county again; The amount of money and grain payable per mu of land has been reduced to one cent, four cents and six millimeters, and the life of the common people has suddenly been much better; In this way, Li Yuanwai continued to do good deeds, according to the old man's calculations, Li Yuanwai should have died when he was forty-five years old, but he is now fifty-two years old, and his body is still very healthy.

Li Yuanwai's experience, for himself, is also a living textbook, which really makes him feel that in this world, although many things have a fixed number, everyone can use their own efforts and kindness, and the original destiny has changed.

But later, as life became more and more smooth, Li Yuanwai's requirements for himself gradually slackened, and the evil thoughts and evil thoughts hidden in his heart in the past two years have been constantly expressed in all aspects of life, which may have caused this disaster.

And this time, how should he deal with such a foreign devil with extraordinary predictive ability and evil heart? For the first time, Li Yuanwai felt extreme fear, panic, and helplessness. Who can help themselves?

After thinking about it, he thought of that Yungu Zen Master. This enlightened Zen master is a noble person in his life, if it weren't for the last Yungu point, his life trajectory must be completely the same as the old man's calculations. It was the teachings of Zen Master Yungu that enabled him to successfully jump out of the established life trap and obtain a new life.

And this time, he once again encountered a deadly threat and confusion, I wonder if this Yungu Zen Master can still help him?

Although they don't meet often, Li Yuanwai has been keeping correspondence with Yungu Zen Master, this time because of the urgency of the matter, he specially sent five strong servants, riding fast horses day and night, he wrote a letter to Yungu Zen Master, in this letter, Li Yuanwai described in detail how his wife got a strange illness, how to ask a doctor to cure the disease, how to lure the wolf into the house, and so on.

After the letter was sent, Li Yuanwai eagerly awaited the reply from Zen Master Yungu.

Zhang, on the other hand, became more and more obsessed with that foreigner and became more and more inseparable. Even sometimes during the day, this foreigner does not leave, hiding in the room and playing with Zhang's blatant yin. Li Yuanwai was really angry and anxious, but he didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear that his mother would know that if the old lady knew that such an ugly thing had happened in the family, she would have to die of anger. As a dutiful son, Li Yuanwai is especially concerned about his mother's feelings when he thinks about everything.

And that's not all, but something more terrible has emerged.

Many of his servants, even the shopkeeper, were becoming more and more disobedient, and sometimes, when he told something, they often disobeyed him, or he made excuses to delay. Later, he asked his most confidant old servant to secretly investigate, and was shocked to find that it was all Zhang's troublemaker behind his back. The Zhang family spared no expense, spending money to buy a lot of servants and a bookkeeper, so that the property and power of the entire family were slowly transferred to her.

Li Yuanwai suddenly felt that his home had become so terrible and insecure, and he often woke up in nightmares, in which he either dreamed that he was strangled to death by a servant or Zhang, or that he was poisoned by drinking poisonous wine. Every time I woke up, I was sweating profusely.

In normal times, he also began to become suspicious, for example, sometimes he didn't dare to eat, he didn't dare to drink water, for fear that it was poisonous, and sometimes before going to bed at night, he would repeatedly check whether the doors and windows were closed, in case someone stabbed him overnight. Li Yuanwai felt that his daily life had suddenly become a kind of torment, except for occasionally enjoying the joy of bed with Zihong, which was the only bit of relaxation. He felt like he was going to break down soon.

And the letter of Zen Master Yungu, because of the long distance, it is estimated that it will take a while. What worries him even more is that his youngest son, the son he and Zhang, has a strange disease: a stomachache;

If it just hurts in the stomach, of course, it's not a strange disease, but the strange thing is that not only does it hurt, but something in the stomach seems to be screaming from time to time. If you don't listen carefully, the sound is like a gurgling sound in the stomach, and when people have a stomachache, it is often accompanied by a gurgling sound, which is also normal, but if you listen carefully, you will know that the sound is not the usual gurgling sound, but more like a kind of bug again.

When it hurt at the beginning, Li Yuanwai was not particularly worried, thinking that as long as the old famous doctor was invited, this minor disease would definitely be cured. But things are far from being as simple as he thought, after the old famous doctor came, he seriously touched the child's pulse, and then listened carefully to the sound of the child's stomach, and couldn't help frowning.

The old famous doctor didn't answer immediately, but shook his head with a sad face and guilt: "I won't tell you that this kind of disease that your son-in-law has has never seen in my decades of practicing medicine, and I have never read about this disease in medical books. ”

Li Yuanwai became even more nervous when he heard this, and Li Yuanwai's mother next to him couldn't help crying when she saw that the old famous doctor couldn't cure her grandson's illness.

This little grandson is the pearl of the old lady's palm, the daughter-in-law Zhang's personality is mean and selfish, and she has weak feelings for her own biological son, and usually ignores it, as if it is not her own at all, but this child has no feelings for Zhang, rarely goes to Zhang's yard, and Zhang's has never had the kind of intimacy that mother and son should have. is inseparable from his grandmother, and the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren is particularly deep.

Li Yuanwai's eldest son has married a wife and had children, and he has set up his own door and is responsible for part of his family's business in the south, so Li Yuanwai has only this younger son by his side, and because he is an old man, he also loves this younger son.

What I didn't expect was that the house leaked and was rained overnight, and the boat was late and the head wind was blowing, and the family was in danger.

Seeing his son crying in pain in bed, and his old mother was also in tears, thinking about this family, and then thinking about his extremely difficult situation, Li Yuanwai was really heartbroken, this is the biggest crisis he has encountered.

Li Yuanwai endured the extreme pain in his heart, returned to his study, closed the door, bowed down in front of the enshrined Buddha statue, and cried bitterly, the pressure and hardships he had endured for such a long time made him exhausted, he really thought that he should die at the age of forty-five as the old man predicted, and there would be no such torment now.

After crying for a long time, the depression and pain in his heart were slightly relieved, thinking of his youngest son, and then thinking of his old mother, he knew that he had no choice but to be strong in the face of the situation in front of him. Li Yuanwai wiped a handful of tears, got up and rummaged through the bookshelf, what he was looking for was the "Heart Healing Chapter".

That "Heart Healing Chapter" was when he was the most confused and helpless in his life, so that he rediscovered the coordinates of his life and regained his confidence in life. Now, he has encountered insurmountable obstacles in his life, so he hopes that this book will inspire him.

This "Heart Healing Chapter" is really effective, and it immediately made his body and mind very stable. When he was a child, he read and heard a gentleman say that words have a very magical power, so the ancients were often in awe of things with words, and even a small piece of paper with words written on it would be respectfully put away, and would not be discarded and burned at will, let alone used to make hand paper.
