Chapter 422: Can Dogs Eat?
Gonggong Li and his entourage walked for about half an hour and came to a village in the western suburbs.
This is the poorest village in Chengdu, and it is inhabited by people who are physically disabled or have been devastated by a major blow. To put it simply, it's like a large amount of useless garbage that Chengdu has to transport out every day. Although this metaphor is a bit excessive, it is not far from the truth. If it sounds good, it is called depression, and if it is bad, it is called waste.
In the words of Chengdu's magnates, this village is full of people who have been washed down by the world.
For example, Gonggong Li and the others just entered the village, and the middle-aged man who greeted them at the head of the village was dirty and broken, this man's family was pushed up five generations, and he was a high-ranking official in Shu, and he was an important minister who often accompanied the king of Shu. It's a pity that the prosperity turned to decline very quickly, and the good days did not pass for twenty or thirty years, and they were thrown off the horse by political enemies, and the family began to decline.
In his generation, not only is there no power, no money, no people, no uncles and cousins in the family have all died of death, illness or old age, and his parents have also died early, leaving him alone. What is even more tragic is that when he was 20 years old, because he was walking and accidentally bumped into the son of a high-ranking official, he was broken by the house slave of the son of a high-ranking official, and injured his five organs, and since then he has become a lame man who coughs constantly day and night, and suffers from illness. His heart was also completely lying down and unwilling to get up.
To avenge grievances, I have naturally worked hard, but the results can be imagined. So what else is worth doing, it has come to such a point, even if the ancestors are emperors? In this life, they will beg for something when they are hungry, and sleep when they are sleepy, no matter how powerful the characters are, they will no longer be interested in beating themselves, but they will occasionally be willing to give a few taels of silver.
"Xiao Zhao, have you gotten a daughter-in-law?" Father-in-law Li kept at his feet and asked the lame man with a smile.
"Cough, cough, cough..." He first coughed violently a few times, and then struggled to get down from the mound where he was standing, limping step by step to catch up with Gonggong Li, and said happily: "Master Li is finally here, my eyes are going to be blind." ”
"What about the daughter-in-law?" asked Father-in-law Li again.
Xiao Zhao, who didn't bless him, lowered his head: "Master Li, don't make fun of me, I won't be able to find a daughter-in-law for another hundred years." ”
"You don't believe it, we... As I said a long time ago, finding your daughter-in-law is the beginning of your transfer. ”
"But how can a villain find a daughter-in-law like this?"
"It's not that you can't find it, it's that you didn't think of a way, you didn't do it. ”
While speaking, the news of Master Li's entry into the village gradually spread in the village, and soon, Master Li and his party were surrounded by people from the entire village.
About three or four hundred people swarmed out. Each of these three or four hundred people looked different, although they were all poor, but some of them were very clean, and their clothes were torn, but they were clean. Some people can smell the sour smell on their bodies from more than a dozen feet away.
But ninety percent of people are disabled. Missing arms and legs are the most common, and being blind without a nose is also common. Like Xiao Zhao, he can only be regarded as ordinary, not particularly crippled. Hassle-free
But the difference in appearance is a huge contrast with their same eyes, and everyone's eyes are full of numbness and indifference, as if nothing in this world can stir their hearts.
After everyone surrounded Gonggong Li and his party, everyone's eyes were on the few things that were still emitting heat. At this time, their eyes finally became a little angry when they looked at the food.
"Let's divide it, don't worry, come one by one. Whoever squeezes and grabs will beat whomever he wants. Gonggong Li said.
Then the guards began to prepare, and these three or four hundred people listened to Master Li's words, and immediately lined up in seven or eight columns as fast as possible, neatly and neatly. But it's not quiet, because everyone is saying thank you, Master Li, who has a long life and a hundred years of wealth, and his official fortune is prosperous......
These people don't know where to learn so many words of praise, and they are used in a mess, and Gonggong Li can only shake his head helplessly when he hears it, this is the twentieth time he has come, everything is as usual, everything has not changed, everything is as usual.
Gonggong Li knew that in the eyes of this group of people now, he was almost a living bodhisattva. When they are hungry all year round, if you send them so much food, you are undoubtedly a bodhisattva to them.
We really don't want to move or do things, but we still have to eat and drink.
Soon, 500 steamed buns, 500 braised eggs, and 500 cakes were all eaten by them, and 500 catties of rice and 500 catties of noodles were also distributed.
Then these people knelt down and kowtowed to Gonggong Li, each kowtowed three times, and said a lot of praise in their mouths.
"Although most of your praise is inappropriate or misused, it does not affect my listening comfort. Gonggong Li didn't avoid kowtowing to these people, and accepted it calmly: "But my suggestion is that you better listen to it, in fact, it's not difficult, if you can go out alone, the food I sent is not in vain." ”
The villagers looked at each other, they could hear every word, and they knew every word, but when they were connected, they didn't understand it very well.
Mr. Li is a big man, and in the first few times he came to the village, he would ask everyone in the village in detail about the situation, and then Mr. Li would put forward his own opinions. For example, for Xiao Zhao, let him find a daughter-in-law, and for example, Xiao Li, suggest that he get up early...
Everyone said that Master Li's suggestion was good, but no one could do it. If it was an ordinary person, then Master Li's advice would definitely be able to do it, but they were all crippled people.
Xiao Zhao, a sick seedling and a lame, can find a daughter-in-law unless pie falls from the sky. Xiao Li has slept a lot since he was a child, sleeping eleven hours a day, even if he sleeps in the snow in winter, he is not afraid of the cold, and he can't get up early anyway. Lang Zhong said that he called it narcolepsy, and it couldn't be cured at all.
Even if you kill us, we won't be able to change it! It's not that we don't want to change it, it's that we really can't change it!
"Can't a dog change eating? I once had a dog, and since he was born, I strictly forbade him to eat, and I beat him once I saw it, and I gave him meat, and only gave him meat, and after only one year, he would never eat again, even if it was in front of him, he would not look at it, and he would even show a strange look when he saw other dogs eating. Master Li said. But everyone is still ignorant, still doesn't understand much, or can be said to be even more incomprehensible.
