After killing Ghost Li, Li Kui was silent a lot along the way, lowering his head and not knowing what to think.

Cao Cao was like a candle in his thoughts, patted Li Kui on his back and said: "Tie Niu, but I feel that I have a good heart for a while, but I let go of a person who is not as good as a pig and a dog, not only does not appreciate it, but also insults it again and again, so I am unhappy?" ”

Li Kui spat out and sulked: "Why are there such birdmen in the world? ”

Cao Cao said: "There are all kinds of people in the world, there are good and evil, there are those who are discerning, and there are those who are stubborn, if you are angry about this, you will not be able to get angry for the rest of your life." I only ask you, did you let him go in the first place to thank you? ”

When Li Kui heard this, he tilted his head and thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "What do you want him to thank me?" I just pity him for being filial, and I don't want to kill a filial son. ”

Cao Cao said: "That's it." You have no intention of him, so why should you be angry with his words? If you find out that you have been deceived, you will be killed with a knife. Let me ask you again, next time someone says that there is an old lady in the family to support, will you still kill him? ”

Li Kui blurted out that he was about to kill, but after thinking about it carefully, he slowly shook his head: "If that guy really has a mother, won't I even hurt his mother?" ”

Cao Cao was very happy when he heard this, patted him on his back and said, "You see, I actually understand it very well." Kill him because you want to kill him, spare him, because you want to spare him, all kinds of choices are your own heart, and if you are your own heart, you can have no regrets. As for whether others appreciate it or not, whether it is worth it or not, it is their own heart, and what does it matter to you? You have a way in your heart, and you can go straight in your stride. ”

Although Li Kui didn't understand a little when he heard it, he felt that his heart suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "What my brother said must be right, my mother also taught me before, you only do what you do, don't care what others say." Thinking about it like this, what good people and bad people are also different people, for example, those prisons where I robbed money must see me as a wicked person to be killed, in the eyes of my brothers, Tie Niu is a good person, I am like this, and so are others. Therefore, if he is in our way, let him be good or bad, and kill him with an axe, and if he is not in our way, someone will think that he is a good man, so why not forgive him? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was first shocked and then delighted, and couldn't help laughing, patting Luan Tingyu and saying, "Did you hear it?" This iron bull seems to be ignorant, but he is actually a wise man, although the truth he said is not subtle, how many people in the world can understand it? ”

Luan Tingyu also admired himself, and said: "It seems that the younger brother still teaches well. With today's events, he rarely has a good heart, but he has a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, he is so brainless, if it weren't for his brother's enlightenment, he can't say that he will completely lose this trace of kindness in the future. ”

The more the three of them talked, the happier they became, and they didn't feel tired from walking, and when they reached the east of Dongdian in Baizhang Village, where Li Kui's house was located, the sun had already leveled down, and the trees, fields, and houses were all golden, just like the old dreams of their youth. Li Kui saw it in his eyes, nostalgia came to his heart, and his steps couldn't help but become eager.

Cao Cao and the two followed him closely, walking through one house after another, and suddenly Li Kui stopped in front of a door, swallowed in his throat, and slashed the hand that had never shaken the thousands of enemies, trembling irrepressibly, and it took a long time to push the door open and walk in cautiously.

The room was dark, and there was a wooden bed next to the wall, on which sat an old mother-in-law, who exclaimed, "Who came in?" ”

Cao Cao looked and found that the mother-in-law's eyes were open without a trace of brilliance, and she was actually a blind person with a string of prayer beads in her hand.

Li Kui said with a crying voice: "Mother, Tie Niu is here." ”

When the old lady heard this, it was as if an ancient well had suddenly turned into a stream, and the whole person instantly came to life, with a trace of irrepressible anxiety, she stretched out her hand and touched it: "My son, where have you been in the past few years?" Come, come, let my mother touch you. ”

Li Kui found out that his mother was blind, and couldn't help crying: "Mother, why can't you see with your eyes?" He stepped forward and grabbed her mother's two wizened old hands and put them on his face.

She couldn't wait to touch her son's face up and down, and sobbed: "After you left, I was worried every day, crying dry tears, so I was blind, son, have you always been outside?" Didn't you get into any more fights or cause any trouble, did you? ”

Li Kui saw that his wife was getting older and thinner, and touched his face with both hands, just like a forest skeleton, remembering that he was not short of fish and meat outside, and his mother didn't know if there was meat to eat all year round, and for a while his heart was like a knife, and tears flowed down like a spring, crying: "Mother, Tie Niu is not filial, Tie Niu himself eats and drinks spicy outside, and his mother has become so thin, and Tie Niu should only thunder and split every day." ”

Li Kui's wife slapped her son lightly in the mouth and said, "Nonsense! The thunder and thunder in the sky are also on the lips? The Buddha blesses, the Buddha blesses him, the child's words are unscrupulous, the child's words are untably......"

Li Kui is such a majestic iron man, with a bearded face, but his thin and withered mother is still talking about fairy tales, this scene is very interesting, but Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu only feel moved when they see it in their eyes. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, when they look at their children, they have not grown up to be ignorant and need to be cared for by their own families. seems to be Li Kui's mother, if you talk about temperament and knowledge, it is a world of difference between her and Niu Gao's mother, but the heart of her son is not a little different.

Li Kui hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Tie Niu is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." Mother, I am now also out of luck, I am a big official, I want to come to pick up my mother to enjoy happiness, by the way, the eldest brother also told Tie Niu a family matter, she is a good woman who is filial and sensible, mother, let her and Tie Niu honor you together. ”

The old lady of the iron bull was surprised inexplicably: "My son said kiss? Also an official? But the Bodhisattva blesses you, but how can your eldest brother have the ability to say goodbye to you? He doesn't care about himself. ”

Li Kui said: "Mother, it's my sworn brother, Brother Wu Zhiwu Dalang, he is the head of Yanggu County, he settled the lawsuit for me, and he wants to take me to Yanggu County, so that Tie Niu can also be the head of the capital, and there is a brother Luan Tingyu, he is a teacher, and it is the two brothers who accompany me to pick up Niangli." ”

The old lady of Tie Niu exclaimed: "Oh, that's a distinguished guest, Tie Niu, why don't you invite someone to sit, you quickly pour water for people." ”

Cao Cao stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the kang, the smell on the kang was very pungent, but Cao Cao didn't know, reached out to hold the old lady's hand, and said warmly: "Old lady, I am Wu Zhi Wu Dalang, now I am the head of Yanggu County, your Tie Niu is a good boy, I have a brother with him, we will take you to Yanggu County, let him honor your old man, your daughter-in-law and in-laws, are now waiting for you in Yanggu County." ”

When Mrs. Li Kui heard this, her old eyes, which had dried up for many years, oozed tears again, and she squeezed Cao Cao's hand tightly and said: "Thank you Wudutou, Wudutou is very kind, my iron bull is blessed, I met a nobleman, but the old woman can't see with her eyes, and now she can't walk, and besides, I'm a blind woman, don't scare Tieniu's daughter-in-law away." ”

Li Kui shouted: "How can you not do it? Tie Niu Beiniang hurried to the west village of the county, where there was a brother Zhu Fu, who had already prepared a car and was waiting for us, and took you in a car. As for the daughter-in-law, if she dares to dislike my mother, I will not want her. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Don't worry, my daughter-in-law, Song Baolian, is my personal pro-Tie Niu, your son is a simple and simple person, how can I pick that flowery woman for him?" This daughter-in-law and in-laws are all reasonable people, the old lady can rest assured to enjoy the happiness, stay in Yanggu County, I will ask a famous doctor to come and see, if it can be cured, the old lady, you have to bring a grandson to Tie Niu. ”

As soon as she said this, it was like entering a bowl of ginseng soup, and the old lady suddenly had her spirits and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go, I'll go, if I can bring a few more children to Tie Niu, I will be satisfied with death." Wait for his eldest brother to come back and talk to his eldest brother. ”

Li Kui said: "What are you waiting for him to do?" Your son will carry you on his own back. ”

Before the words fell, his eldest brother Li Da brought a jar of rice, and when he saw many people in the room, he was taken aback.

There is a division of teaching: the man is more simple than gold, and he can forgive or kill with his heart. The angry eldest brother broke the door, and the iron bull carried the tigress to the mountain.
