Chapter 200: Merit
Hearing Du San say this, I couldn't help but have a headache. This part of northern Tibet is different from other places, and most people here have a special belief in Buddhism. If it's really a group of monks, I'm afraid this matter will be a little difficult.
"Third brother, can you tell me more about what's going on?" I asked.
Du San said that after they came to this place, the three of them rented a car and ran towards the target place according to the instructions on the drawings.
When they were camping at night, more than a dozen bald men suddenly broke out and surrounded the camp, and the other party didn't say a word, just started working.
"Later, I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, no one was there." Du San said very depressedly.
"Did your tomb robbery be revealed?" I asked.
"Probably not, the tomb we stole this time is very small, Mu Lan and Lao Jin didn't come, I just want to lead these two children to make a little money. By the way, I heard one of them say that he wanted to arrest the monks, and he had to arrest them alive. Du San squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said.
Arresting the monk and catching him alive is obviously coming for Yuan Qingguang. Why did they arrest Yuan Qingguang, he has not been down the mountain for more than 20 years, and he has been with me since he came down the mountain, and he has not formed any hatred with others, why did those people arrest him. It's a strange thing, as if there's something we don't know.
"Third brother, you take care of it first, since they said that they are alive, Yuan Qingguang and Qiao Fan should be fine, you don't have to worry too much." I comforted Du Sandao.
Qiao Fan, I don't have to worry, the two old guys from the Snow Mountain Sect are people with great skills at a glance, and their apprentices naturally have a way to save their lives. As for Yuan Qingguang, since they said that they would catch him alive, he should not be in danger of his life for the time being.
While we were talking, Ye Qiao came back from paying the bills, he held a stack of bills in his hand and put them on the table, "Third brother, you have to report to me, I am bankrupt." β
I inquired with the hospital, and Du San saw that the injury was quite serious, but in fact, it didn't hurt the bones, it was all skin trauma. It's just that there are more wounds, so the whole body is bandaged, and it looks quite serious. After two more days, you can basically be discharged from the hospital.
After communicating with the doctor, I returned to the ward, and I felt much more relieved.
"Third brother, do you want to find a nurse to take care of you, you can rest assured that I will find you a flower-like one." I looked at Du San, who looked like a mummy, and said.
"I only want Sister Yang in my heart, and I don't want anyone but him." Du San said with a wink.
"Even if Sister Yang can come, she can't be scared away when she sees you like this." Ye Qiao said on the side.
The three of them chatted for a while, and the sky outside was a little dark, Ye Qiao and I came out of the hospital, ready to eat something, and then find a place to rest.
"Don't you worry in your heart, isn't Yuan Qingguang very important?" Ye Qiao said.
"Hey, what can I do if I am worried, I can't suffocate to death, eat and drink some to relieve boredom." I said.
Both of them are people with bare faces, so naturally they won't go to a big restaurant to eat, so they turn around on a small street.
Suddenly, a scent wafted from afar, and we followed the scent and looked over.
"Oh, I can't imagine that such a small county town has such a hot restaurant." Ye Qiao looked at the team not far away and said.
In front of a restaurant with a small faΓ§ade, there was a long queue of about 20 people.
"As the saying goes, eat
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Don't go to the most expensive ones, but to the crowded ones. Just go wherever you want. Ye Qiao pointed to the small door and said.
Looking at the queue outside, I was a little speechless and said, "Just have a meal, we still have to queue up, this is a bit impossible." β
When my voice fell, an old man passing by me said, "Young man, those who are in line are free to eat, and there is no need to queue for food." β
"The owner of this shop has a must, and you will never forget it in your life. The owner's craftsmanship is also good. He would always open a window every night, and people like us who were old and those who were living in poverty could come and get free meals. β
After the old man finished speaking, he also went to line up.
Hearing the old man's words, I immediately became interested and walked towards the door of the store.
The entrance is more lively, but the queue is very orderly, and there is no one to stop. I looked up at the signboard, which said the old store of the Li family, the door of the store is very ordinary, and there is no special feature.
Although the name of this store is not distinctive, but above the store, I saw a faint mist, and the mist shrouded the store, condensed but not dispersed.
"The spirit of merit." I couldn't help but say to myself. That's right, this faint mist is the merit that people have accumulated over a long period of time to accumulate virtue and do good.
From the fog I moved my eyes to the window, where an old man was smiling and delivering food to the people outside the window. Every time he gave out a meal, he would smile and say to the other party, "If it's not enough, I'll take it again." β
Most of the people queuing outside to receive food were elderly people, and only a few young people lined up in line.
Looking at the smiling old man in the window, I couldn't help but shake my head. This old man is already as dead as a body, and he has no power to return to heaven.
Seeing my solemn expression, Ye Qiao asked me what was wrong, and I told him that the owner of this shop still had two days to live.
Ye Qiao shook his head and said, "Why don't good people live long?" β
I laughed, "You only see the present, how do you know if he is doing good or evil in his past?" β
With that, I stepped inside, and the two of us ordered two servings of stew and two bottles of beer.
While eating, I heard two middle-aged people chatting at the next table.
"The owner of this shop is really kind-hearted, and there are not many people like this now." One of them said.
"Yes, I heard that the owner of this shop was also a big business man when he was young, and he made a lot of money, and then when he was in his forties, the business suddenly failed, and he almost lost his family. Later, he came to our place and opened this little shop. β
"What business did he do before?" The man asked with interest.
"I heard that it was a harmful deed, and it hurt a lot of people...... "After the man said this, he quickly looked around, "Don't say it, don't say it, come and eat." β
I ate deliberately very slowly, until all the customers in the restaurant were gone, and only our last table remained.
"Boss, come and settle the score." I shouted at the old man.
The old man walked over with a smile, glanced at the list in his hand and said, "A total of one hundred and seventy-two, you can give one hundred and seven." β
I took out 200 and told the boss that I didn't need to look for it, not because I had a lot of money, but because I knew that the money the boss made was basically used as a free meal to send out.
The old man smiled and put away the money, said thank you, and cleaned up the table
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The plates are going to the kitchen.
"Wait a minute." I stopped him.
Hearing me call him, the boss turned around and asked me what was wrong and if there was anything else I needed.
"Uncle, I heard that you have been delivering free food for a long time, can we talk?" I organized the language and said.
"Just do something good, don't make a fuss, I just want to accumulate virtue for myself and my children, if you want to interview me, forget it." The boss said.
He thought of me as a reporter who wanted to interview him, and I didn't just say, "Boss, has your daughter been in the hospital for a few years?" β
Hearing me say this, the boss was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly darkened, and the smile on his face disappeared, "Who are you and what do you want to do?" β
"Boss, don't be afraid, we're not bad guys." I waved my hand at my boss and said, "Come over here and let's talk, maybe I can help you." β
The boss hesitated, but came over and sat down.
I poured him a glass of water and told him to calm down first.
After drinking the water, I saw that his face was much better, and I whispered, "You did a lot of bad things when you were young, and then your daughter got sick, and you took your daughter everywhere to see a doctor without taking a good look." You repented, changed your path for the rest of your life, and began to do good deeds. However, the deeds and virtues you did in the second half of your life are offset by the sins you did in the first half of your life. You won't get any merit for yourself. β
"Although this merit cannot be given to yourself, it can be given to your parents and children."
"Your life is almost at the end of your life, and you can only live until this time tomorrow at most."
The boss's face changed suddenly, and the person stood up suddenly, "Who are you, why are you cursing me to death." β
Ye Qiao pulled me aside and whispered, "Brother, I've talked about it." β
Seeing the boss like this, I didn't worry, but said lightly, "Don't you want to say a few last words to your daughter and leave no regrets between each other?" β
After listening to my words, the boss sat down again, and then looked at the wall in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, "What you said is true, I am really about to die, I am only seventy years old today, and I have no problems with my body......"
It used to be said that people are rare in their seventies, but for modern people, seventy years old is not too old.
I smiled bitterly, "Lord Yama's life and death book is for everyone to remember, whether it is merit or demerit, there is a scale." As the saying goes, people are watching the sky, and you know best what you have done in the past. You can live to 70 for the sake of your reform. β
After hearing what I said, the boss didn't bother anymore, he sighed and said, "Master, you can really wake up my daughter." If my daughter wakes up, I will hand over this shop to him and let him continue to pass it on, otherwise when I leave, those old people will have no place to eat. β
Hearing him say this, I nodded, he was still thinking about the old people who couldn't eat before he died, he was really bent on good.
"You pack up, let's go to the hospital." I said to my boss.
While the boss was cleaning up, I went outside and took out a piece of talisman paper, recited the Sanqing mantra in my mouth, and put the merit above the restaurant into the charm.
The boss quickly cleaned up, and the three of them came out of the restaurant and walked towards the hospital. The hospital is very close to here, that is, ten minutes away, we have arrived.
