Li Yuanwai respectfully put away the words that had settled him, then wrapped them in oiled paper and satin, carefully put them in a box, and then prepared to go out for a walk in the streets, what he probably did not expect was that he was about to encounter this strange thing, or the turning point of heavy dà, was probably related to his devotion to words and the initiation of good thoughts.

My son's stomach was still hurting, and the old famous doctor didn't dare to prescribe medicine lightly because he had never seen or heard of this strange disease. He was still anxious and anxious in his heart, but deep down, the peace that had just been established was indestructible, so that he could not be knocked down by these bad lucks, and he sent people around to continue to inquire about the famous local doctors, and walked to a restaurant on the street, wanting to drink some wine to relieve the great pressure.

It was dinner time, so there were a lot of people in the restaurant. In order to avoid meeting acquaintances, Li Yuanwai found a quiet corner and sat down quietly. Suddenly, I saw a skinny, dirty old man, who came to the restaurant to beg, and just asked for two tables, but they were driven away in disgust. When the shopkeeper saw it, he shouted at the old man to leave quickly, and the begging old man was full of sadness, so he had to go out resignedly, and accidentally bumped into a diner, and was scolded viciously by the diner.

The shopkeeper saw that this old man was slowly soaring, and it seemed to be even more popular, so he walked over and shoved it, and scolded in his mouth: "You old immortal, why have you been old for the past two days, and you don't know where to come out of nowhere, don't hurry up, if you dare to come again, see if I don't break your legs."

When Li Yuanwai saw this scene, he sighed deeply, thinking, it is not easy for all living beings, a rich man like him, although he does not have to worry about eating and drinking, but life is still sad and bumpy, and the old man in front of him is even more pitiful, he is a lot older, and he can't even eat a full meal. He got up from his seat, walked to the shopkeeper, handed over a piece of silver and said, "Junior Er, this is a reward for you, buy a bag of tea and drink it."

The shopkeeper looked at the piece of silver handed over by Li Yuanwai, and his facial features squeezed together with a smile: "Master Li, you are always so generous, hehe, what do you always command?" As he spoke, he quickly took the silver and put it into his bosom.

Li Yuanwai said calmly: "Let this old man sit at the same table with me to eat, how much he eats, I will double the money, don't drive him out."

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded: "Okay, good, your old man is compassionate." Then he turned his head to the old man who asked for food and said viciously: "Old guy, you are lucky enough today, you met our old man Li, his old man is a famous good man in our area, since his old man has spoken today, you can be regarded as making a lot of money."

Then, to Li Yuanwai, he immediately changed to a very attentive smiling face, and said: "Then please sit back at your old man's house, what do you want to eat, just ask for it, and the little one will serve your old man's food first." Li Yuanwai smiled and nodded at him.

The old man who asked for food seemed to be grateful and wanted to cry, so he bowed to Li Yuanwai again and again, and muttered vaguely: "I wish you a hundred years of life and great wealth to your old man, you are really a good person" and so on. Somehow, Li Yuanwai felt very bitter when he looked at the old man like this.

But when the old man faced the table full of food, he immediately seemed to be a different person, swept away the trembling, cowardly and cowardly just now, and ate it like a desperate one, not even using chopsticks, just grabbed it with his hands, and then stuffed it into his mouth, sometimes choking and rolling his eyes, but he still kept eating, as if he had never eaten in his life. Li Yuanwai felt funny and pitiful, and what was even more amazing was that the old man's appetite was not expected to be as good as that of such a thin and withered old man, the amount of food was worth a few strong men, and a table full of wine and food was quickly swept away by him. Li Yuanwai looked at him with an "insatiable desire", so he asked softly: "Old man, have you eaten enough?" Do you want more? ”

The old man who asked for food didn't answer directly, but just grinned and said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, let your old man break the bank, I'm just a rice bucket, I can't do anything, I just can eat." Hey, I can't change it in this life."

Li Yuanwai just smiled faintly, then turned around and commanded, "Little Er, another table."

Xiao Er was also a little surprised to see that the old man who asked for food was so able to eat, and when he served the food, he didn't forget to mumble a few words, damaging the beggar old man: "You old immortal, if you meet a meal that doesn't cost money, don't you, you can't eat it to death."

Li Yuanwai just smiled and waved his hand, but the old man didn't hear what he was doing, and still devoured it. It wasn't until he had eaten all the food on the second table that the old man burped, as if it was almost over. This time, when Li Yuanwai asked him if he wanted it again, the old man finally said: "You are really a good person, a good person, but I really can't eat it."

Li Yuanwai took out two ingots of silver from his arms, put them in the old man's hand and said: "Old man, you can take this bit of silver, it's getting cold, hurry up and sell some clothes, if you save some flowers, this bit of silver is enough for you to survive the winter." After that, I got up and left my seat and prepared to go home.

Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly pounced, knelt in front of Li Yuanwai, and then said with tears: "You are a great good person, there will be good rewards, but I am old and weak, I don't know when I will die, I have no home, no relatives, it is useless to ask for money, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to be a cow and a horse, and serve you."

Li Yuanwai felt that this old man who asked for food was really pitiful, and saw that this old man looked charitable and honest, so he also had a good impression, so he sighed and said: "Hey, okay, today is also a fate between the two of us, there are dozens of servants in my family, it doesn't matter if you have one more, you are responsible for working at night, look at the door and something." ”

The old man lay on the ground and thanked him a thousand times. So, Li Yuanwai went to the street for a meal, and then accepted a servant. For some reason, Li Yuanwai suddenly felt extremely warm and calm in his heart, the same as when he did good deeds decades ago.

On the way home, his brows not only furrowed again when he thought of his son's stomach ache that no one could cure, and in the face of all the threats from the foreigner. Seeing Li Yuanwai's sad face, the old man asked cautiously: "Master, it seems that you have something to worry about?" ”

Li Yuanwai nodded heavily, and told the old man about how his son had a strange stomach ache, how he had found a lot of Langzhong, and he was helpless.

Li Yuanwai didn't know why he would say this to an old man who had just become a servant, he just felt that it would be better to find someone to talk to.

But something unexpected happened.

After listening to Li Yuanwai's story, the old man just smiled faintly and said: "Don't worry, master, Gongzi's illness is actually very easy to treat, and I also have a rough medical experience, especially for Gongzi's disease, it is guaranteed to be cured quickly."

Li Yuanwai couldn't help but be taken aback after hearing this, he couldn't help but stop, staring at the old man with a stern expression, not like he was joking, is this old man mentally abnormal? So many doctors can't cure it, and an old man who asks for food claims that he can cure it! Li Yuanwai couldn't convince himself no matter what, so that he could believe what the old man said.

The old man saw that Li Yuanwai looked puzzled, and he didn't explain much, but said: "If the old man doesn't believe it, you might as well let the villain try, you can rest assured, use the villain's method to treat the young master, one does not use any strange herbs, the other does not use silver needles, and even the pulse does not need to be touched, I only use the 'word' plus the usual common medicine, I can cure the son." "Healing with words? Li Yuanwai is really unheard of. If you don't believe it, looking at the old man's serious face and steady feelings, it doesn't look like he's bragging or deceiving people.

As the saying goes, "I'm not afraid that you don't believe in God, I'm afraid that you don't have a sick person at home" Once a loved one is seriously ill, everyone will be anxious, and there is a glimmer of hope, they will try.

Li Yuanwai is no exception, since it is useless to find so many doctors, seeing that his son is suffering in pain, and if it goes on like this, the consequences will be unimaginable, since someone is so confident that it can be cured, and it will not cause harm to his son, so why not try? What if it can be cured?

Out of this mentality, Li Yuanwai decided to let this old man try. But in order not to worry his old mother, as soon as he got home, he first let the old man bathe and change his clothes, and clean up neatly. After such a grooming and dressing, the old man's whole temperament has also taken on a new look, and he really looks a bit like a kind old man.

At this time, Li Yuanwai's mother had not eaten for a day, and she stayed by her grandson's side for a moment, stroking his grandson's forehead, sobbing and crying, and kept chanting: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless, bless my grandson to be safe and sound, if you want to die, take my old life for it, he is still young, Amitabha."

And Li Yuanwai's youngest son, because he has been in pain for more than a day, is already sallow, dazed, and in a semi-comatose state at this time, and a few soft-hearted subordinates next to him can't help but cry secretly. And in the stomach of Li Yuanwai's son, there is still that strange noise.

Li Yuanwai saw this, his heart was like a knife, he endured the grief in his heart, pretended to be calm and leaned down, and said softly to his mother, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, her consciousness was already a little numb: "Mother, I just invited a Lang Zhong, let him show the child."

As soon as Li Yuanwai's mother heard that the groom was invited, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole person came to life, and then turned her head to look at the old man who wanted to eat after changing and washing, Li Yuanwai just wanted to say something, but she didn't expect her mother to stand up suddenly, rush forward, and suddenly knelt in front of the old man who asked for food, and cried bitterly: "Sir, you can save my grandson, please." Li Yuanwai saw that his mother was so out of control and in pain, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
