Chapter 12 For the people and for the people
In the northwest of China, in the barren wilderness all around.
It stands to reason that there is very little food to be used for one's own use, and there is very little surplus grain to be stored, and even more so that the grain is consumed on the training soldiers, so the standing army is not much, so it is only enough to protect the main city.
Often when there is a natural disaster, it is necessary to buy food from other places far away, and this is an important border place to resist foreign enemies, so there will be no villages in the wilderness at all, because they will all be attacked and destroyed by foreigners, and it can even be said that there is only one main city left in the whole area to resist the foreigners.
But the situation has improved thoroughly in eight years, because as soon as you come to this area and set foot on it, it will not be long before you can see a military camp established on the edge of this area, and after a few hours, you can see the next military barracks, and at the end of the day, if you only walk on foot, you will encounter six medium-sized military camps, a large marching military camp and dozens of watchtowers, which makes people wonder if this is coming to the main capital of China? Otherwise, how could there be so many troops.
And every day you can see at least one large village, three medium-sized villages, and six small villages, and then you can understand that the source of those troops is here, and this northwest land has been liberated from the siege of foreign enemies at any time from eight years ago, so the refugees in many parts of China have traveled thousands of miles to come here, just to find a place to live in peace, because the land here is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a lot of room for it, not to mention the current armed forces, which can make the local residents live in peace and live a good life.
Of course, many people also need more food to be able to tolerate it, and at this time, the legend in the land of the Western Regions appeared, that is, there is a place to live, no matter how much food can be taken out and sold, and the price is always so close to the people, so the public privately calls this Suijian dwelling as the living Buddha's dwelling ~ treasure grain dwelling ~, and this name is in the past eight years when natural disasters have spontaneously distributed food relief every time, giving free enjoyment to all the hungry residents, so that all civilians who almost died of hunger, From the bottom of my heart, I was in awe of this casual residence that only appeared in Xiliang City.
Although most people say that they live with grain, they know in their hearts that it is to live with the living Buddha, and the other part of the people call this living dwelling as the abode of the living Buddha ~ Bao Yaoju ~ because in the past eight years in this cool land of the west, there is no one who has died of illness, that is because the people who only sell grain and live with the dwelling, but after leaving the dwelling, they have turned into a doctor who practices medicine and saves lives, and the unbelievable causes will be cured in the hands of these medical saints, and they are the same for all patients, only willing to receive a little bit of the patient's heart, It's kind of giving money for medicine.
As a result, all the people living in Xiliang worship every day at home, not the gods and Buddhas who are full of heaven, but the three good people who live with them, as living Buddhas every day, not to mention that all the things that they earn with their lives, whether they are gold, silver or other items, are taken out by the living Buddhas of the three great good people as a fund for the construction of Xiliang, which makes Xiliang from a barren land to a rich place compared to the capital.
At that time, the original dilapidated ancient city of Xiliangcheng had been more than five times larger on the original foundation, and the simple wooden houses that had been built into a courtyard-like food store had been expanded into a courtyard-like food store, and this was the only way to do it because the Suiju itself was unwilling to expand further, so it was the only way, and the surrounding open space was also the land of the Suiju, which was five times larger than that of the Suiju, but these lands were all given to the people to use at will.
Of course, the people will not really follow their will, but these places have become the use of the place every time they live in the rescue of Jimi, and also when they treat the plague, and the people of the whole city will help spontaneously, because no Xiliang people have not received the favor of accompanying people, and of course, the activities in the city will be deliberately held in these squares, and the three living Buddhas who live in them are invited to attend the ceremony, and outside these squares, there are always various shops built around this square.
Therefore, Xiliang City has one more wonder scene from here, and it has also created a sentence, ~ Xiliang Wonders Live with it, there is a place for people to live, there is a living Buddha in the world, and Pudu is in Xiliang ~, and only the place where the wooden house in the front yard is located is the place where the Xiliang people are received, and its backyard is the paradise that all Xiliang City is in awe, and in an ancient bamboo house in this Xanadu, there are two great good people who are respected as living Buddhas outside, chatting and talking, and its content If anyone comes here to hear, Then you will be able to immediately know the origin of all these magnificent and good deeds.
A literati who was already twenty and six years old said to another man who was also twenty and six, "Do you say that the good deeds we have done over the past seven years or so will be enough to offset that kid when he changes his life against heaven?"
At this time, another literati said: "This must be not enough, I don't need to say it, I know, but at least I can save my life, can't we? Anyway, as long as we don't die, we can save that kid, and most of them are just flesh and skin." ”
The two people who were chatting were rumored to be the Buddha's living illusion and illusion outside, and at this time the illusion raised his eyebrows and said: "Calculate the day, that kid should be ready to start traveling around this China, the time has passed is really about to leave in half a year, and doing so many good deeds is also the kid's will, and we are also because these merits will help that kid in the future, so we will follow him to help, I didn't expect that over the past seven years, this Xiliang has been transformed into a paradise in this world, but unfortunately we are also leaving, If we don't have it, we might be gone soon. ”
At this time, the phantom master also raised his eyebrows and said: "Yes, this kind of paradise may be the first good thing we did after returning to the world, although we deliberately only attracted refugees in the nearby area, and it will not affect the direction of the history of this world, but the war will also affect this place, and after we leave, we will soon return to the way we were before, this is something that needs to be thought about, not to mention that the kid has already regarded this as his hometown in this life, but he doesn't want to be affected by the war here, How is this to be?"
At this time, Phantom raised his head and glanced outside the room and said to Phantom, "That kid is here to discuss with him, anyway, he is the person who cares most about here, and we only pay attention to here because of him." ”
The phantom nodded silently in agreement, and at this moment, a strong man who was eight feet tall, wearing a casual Han suit, with a simple and sunny smile on his face, said after greeting the two masters in the room, "The two masters are drinking tea and chatting here early in the morning, do you have anything to tell me?" ”
At this time, the second master's father, Phantom Grandmaster, pointed to the bamboo chair on the side and said to the wing: "En~ We have something to tell you, come and sit here, we just said again, and after a while, it will be when you turn eighteen years old, and it is also the time to leave here and walk around, but once we go here, it may not be long before it will change to the way it was before, so when we see you coming, we will wait for your answer to see how to do it better, of course we must leave, so there is no need to say this matter if we don't leave." ”
At this time, the senior master phantom said to the wings: "Although we can't help but go, we can still leave some things behind so that they can maintain the current situation as much as possible, but it is up to you to decide what preparations to make, because you also know that your senior master and second master father are actually very shallow about this relationship only because you like it, so I followed you to develop this place to such a prosperous place, but after we leave, it will naturally not fall here, so you must think about it carefully, but there are ways to maintain and even continue to develop here, Do you understand that?"
At this time, Wing, who was still in a happy mood, became heavy in front of his watch, and after listening to the words of the two masters, he fell into thought, at this time, Phantom and Phantom were the choice of Waiting Wing quietly, and after a long time, Wing raised his head and asked, "How long is it going to leave?"
At this time, the second master father opened his mouth and said: "There is probably half a year, this is the last deadline, originally we were considering going first, we could go immediately, but you care about this, so you can delay it for half a year, but after that, you can only let go, because time will not wait for you anymore" At this time, Phantom said: "We will help you with the method you said in this half year, but we can get here at most, don't be embarrassed about us, this is the last thing your two masters will help you, okay to end here." ”
At this time, Yi stood up and bowed deeply, and said to the two masters: "Thank you for the understanding of the two masters, I already know what to do, and now the apprentices need the help of the two masters and fathers to teach the people of this Xiliang the methods of growing food selflessly, so that they can be self-sufficient and no longer rely on us, and teach them to leave half of the grain every time they harvest to prevent natural disasters from happening, so as to solve the hidden problem of food shortage in this region after we leave." ”
After a pause, Yi continued: "Then the disciples would like to ask the two masters to allow me to pass on the knowledge of medicine to the people, so that they can also pick some herbs in addition to growing food, so that they can cope with all kinds of diseases, so that the people here no longer have to worry about the suffering of sickness, and at all times keep enough medicine to deal with acute diseases, so that they can also tell the cause and prevention of the plague at the same time, so that the plague will never be troubled by the disease." ”
After taking a breath, he continued: "Finally, I want to ask the two masters to use all the money we have earned and left over the years to set up a place to help the needy, so that the local people and the government will supervise together and help the local poor people, so they will use our courtyard to set up, because I want to ~ use it for the people and return it to the people~, anyway, I don't know when I will come back in the future, right? ”
At this time, Phantom looked at the child he had raised single-handedly, and felt that the child was safe in the future, because the decisions he had just made, and the amount of merit he had brought to him were so great and lasting that they were enough for him to survive the future act against the heavens, and then Phantom and Phantom said to Wing together: "That's it, a good sentence ~ for the people to return it to the people~, we will fulfill you." ”
At this time, Yi knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed to the two masters who raised him, and then got up and went out to start executing, which was a shocking move that was passed down forever by the people of Xiliang, half a year later, Yi and the master looked at this green and cool place, and every household was full of smiles, although these only happened in this Xiliang region, but it was enough for himself, wasn't it?
There was a commotion from behind, and when he turned his head to look, he realized that all the people of Xiliang had come to the border, and under the leadership of Ma Teng, they all knelt down and shouted at the three people: "Thank you to the three great good people for everything they have done for us, we will always remember the deeds of the three people, and if we continue to maintain it, send the three living Buddhas away." He said that the whole people, from the poor people to the big officials, all kowtowed to the three of them.
At this time, tears of emotion flowed down his face, and he shouted to the people of Xiliang in front of him: "Thank you." Then the two masters left.
At this moment, Yi once again heard the people behind him shouting: "Send the three living Buddhas, thank you for everything that you have brought to us." And at this time, with a smile and tears on his face, he left his hometown where he had lived for eight years and walked into his future.
