Chapter 73: The Bodhisattva's Heart

The next day, the missing red horse had returned.

Qian Devil also knew in his heart that he had wronged Ren Zhanbiao this time, but the matter had come to this point, and there was nothing to be done.

"You two go to the ravine in the back mountain again and see if the kid's body is still there?" The money devil called the two family members over and said.

"Yes, sir." The two family members replied.

The two housekeepers ran over to see that the broken mat was still there, but the corpse was gone, and the two felt strange, so they took the broken mat back and truthfully reported it to the money devil.

"There's nothing strange about this, it must have been taken by a wild wolf, no one will die in these years, it should work, it should eat, don't care about it." The money devil thought for a while and said.

"Master, what if the government learns about this and comes to investigate?" Human lives are at stake, and the two family members are also parties, so they can't help but be a little scared.

"What are you afraid of? The sky is falling and I will bear it," said the money devil, "and you go and do your work, like a coward!" ”

When the two of them heard him say this affirmation, they felt a little relieved and went to work.

It turned out that last night, these two family members were ordered to throw Ren Zhanbiao into the ravine on the side of the road in the back mountain, and they left in a hurry for fear of being discovered, and they didn't care too much about whether Ren Zhanbiao was dead or alive.

The time was not big, a person came on the road, this person rode a horse, walked here, was feeling urgent, he turned over and dismounted, raised his head, stood on the side of the road to pee, just below is Ren Zhanbiao.

When Ren Zhanbiao was confused, he only felt that it was like a rain in the sky, pouring his head and face, but how could this rain still be hot, it seemed to be a little salty, as if there was a fishy smell in the air.

Ren Zhanbiao couldn't help but sneeze and woke up.

In the dead of night, it didn't matter if he sneezed, which startled the visitor.

The person who came put the clothes in order, and when he looked closely, it turned out that there was another person in the broken mat below.

"Hey, are you a human or a ghost?" Someone asked.

"I'm naturally human, where did the ghost come from?" A boy's voice came from inside the broken mat below.

After Ren Zhanbiao regained consciousness, he only felt unbearable pain all over his body, and his ribs were broken and he couldn't move.

"Which family are you and what's your name? If you don't go home and sleep, what are you doing here? As he spoke, he jumped down from it, and saw that there was indeed a baby wrapped in the broken mat.

"My name is Ren Zhanbiao, who are you?" Ren Zhanbiao's facial muscles twisted together and said bitterly.

"My name is Tang Yulong, and I am the boss, so everyone calls me Tang Dalong."

"Oh, Engong, I have two broken ribs and I can't move." Ren Zhanbiao tried to stand up, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn't straighten up no matter what.

"What? Who is so ruthless as to do this to a child? When the visitor heard this, he was also surprised.

Ren Zhanbiao told Tang Dalong about the story of the incident.

"According to what you say, this money devil is too much of a thing, and the matter is not investigated clearly, how can he be so nonsense? If the big red horse comes back tomorrow on its own, wouldn't he have wronged the good man? Human life is at stake, if he really wants to die, is he not afraid of the government punishing his crimes? In my opinion, these landlords have a black heart for money, and they dare to disregard people's lives without a good thing," Tang Dalong said indignantly, "Little brother, our two brothers met today and it can be regarded as fate, don't be afraid, I will take you home to treat it." ”

"Engong, don't thank you for your great kindness, if he has the opportunity one day, I will repay your great kindness." Ren Zhanbiao said.

"Little brother, you don't have to say this, I have horses here, where does your family live, I'll take you home." Tang Dalong said and hugged him on the horse.

"My family lives in Renjiazhuang, which is not too far ahead." Ren Zhanbiao said.

"Okay, got it, then you bear with me, we'll be home soon." Tang Dalong put him in front of the horse, sat behind him, held him by the hand, and beat the horse forward.

Soon, the two came to Ren Zhanbiao's house, and Ren Zhanbiao's father and his sister Ren Zhanling were also frightened when they saw that he was seriously injured.

When they learned that it was Tang Dalong who saved Ren Zhanbiao, the father and daughter hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Dalong to thank him.

"It's a gesture, it doesn't have to be like this," Tang Dalong helped Ren Zhanbiao and his father up, "You guys go and invite Langzhong and show him." ”

Ren Zhanbiao's father grinned, and his face was embarrassed.

Tang Dalong looked at their house, which was two dilapidated houses with earthen walls and grass roofs, with four walls, wind blowing everywhere, and they were destitute. Look at Ren Zhanbiao's father again, skinny as wood, bent waist, although he is not very old, but his temples are white, his face is yellow, and he looks like an old man about seventy years old.

"Engong, the child died early, my body is not angry, I'm not afraid of your jokes, our family has been interrupted for many days, his sister and I haven't eaten for two days, where is the money to invite Langzhong?" Ren Zhanbiao's father sighed and said.

"I have come in a hurry today, and here are five taels of silver, all for you, and you will take them to heal his wounds." Tang Dalong touched his body for a long time, and there were only so many, all of which were given to Ren Zhanbiao and his father.

"Engong, you are really a living bodhisattva, a good person has a safe life, and a good person will have a good reward, but how is this embarrassing?" Ren Zhanbiao's father excused himself.

"A few taels of silver, why bother? It is important to hurry up and treat his injuries. Tang Dalong said.

"How will we repay you in the future?" Ren Zhanbiao's father took the silver with trembling hands, excited, he hadn't seen silver for many years, with this money, he could cure Ren Zhanbiao's illness, and kowtow to Tang Dalong.

"It doesn't have to be like this," Tang Dalong hurriedly supported Ren Zhanbiao's father, "I still have something to do, let's go, you go and ask Lang Zhong to treat him, it's been a long time, it's not good for his injury, I'll come to see you again when I'm free." ”

After Tang Dalong finished speaking, he turned over and walked away.

"What a good person, this is the great benefactor of our family, occupy the standard, you will grow up in the future, you will definitely repay this person heavily, and you must not be ungrateful." Ren Zhanbiao's father looked at Tang Dalong's departing back and said with a sigh, "There are not many good people like this in the world." ”

"Yes, Dad, I wrote it down." Ren Zhanbiao said.

Sure enough, under Lang Zhong's careful conditioning, in less than a month, Ren Zhanbiao was able to get out of bed and move, and three months later, his body fully recovered.

But his father's health gradually deteriorated, he was bedridden, hemoptysis did not stop, the five taels of silver had already been spent, and there was no money for his father's medical treatment, and the family was out of food.

Ren Zhanbiao and his sister saw that his father was no longer good, and Ren Zhanling wiped her tears all day long, but there was nothing she could do.

Within a few days, Ren Zhanbiao's father died and passed away.

Ren Zhanbiao and his sister wept bitterly and stayed in the morgue for several days, but they had no money to buy a coffin for his father to bury.

At this time, someone gave them an idea that Ren Zhanbiao's sister was good-looking, and she could go to the Yihong Mansion brothel in the town to sell her body and sell it for money to bury his father.

Now, being forced to be helpless and cornered, Ren Zhanling agreed, and the fourteen-year-old Ren Zhanling was ruined like this.

She washed her face with tears all day long, and she was in pain.

In this way, he was able to bury his father in the ground and put him in the ground.

From then on, Ren Zhanbiao became even more silent, and he could no longer see the smile on his face.

Every day he sat there alone in a daze, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

On this day, Tang Dalong came to visit Ren Zhanbiao again.

He was very happy when he saw that Ren Zhanbiao looked good and his body had fully recovered.

However, when he learned that Ren Zhanbiao's father had died, and his sister sold herself to the Yihong Mansion brothel in order to bury his father, she was also emotional.

"Little brother, let's do it, I have some money with me today, and the two of us will go to the Yihong Mansion brothel in the town together, and find the old bustard to redeem your sister." Tang Dalong said.

"Ransom my sister?" Ren Zhanbiao heard it, "That's estimated to be a lot of money, I know about the bustard of their Yihong Mansion, I can't wait to squeeze the blood on your body, she is not satisfied." ”

"It's okay, I made a deal this time and made some money, I will redeem your sister first," Tang Dalong said, "People are the most important, money is something outside the body, and you can earn it after spending it." ”

Ren Zhanbiao was grateful and nodded in agreement.

The old bustard in Yihong Mansion had a very dark heart, and asked for a ransom fee of up to fifty taels of silver, not a tael less, Tang Dalong gritted his teeth and gave it to her in front of Ren Zhanbiao, and then ransomed Ren Zhanling.

After the sister and brother met, they hugged their heads and cried, crying for a long time, and then they both knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Tang Dalong.

"No need for this, please get up." Tang Dalong said, first helping his sister up, and then coming to help him occupy the standard.

However, Ren Zhanbiao knelt on the ground this time, did not get up, only heard him say: "Engong, I know that you are a good person, you are a great hero, although I don't know martial arts, but I can see that you are a martial arts master, a hero, I want to ask you to accept me as an apprentice, take me away, I am willing to serve your old man, and repay your old man by being a cow and a horse all my life, please agree, otherwise, I will kneel in front of you and never get up." ”

"This-" Tang Dalong was a little embarrassed.

Ren Zhanling looked at Tang Dalong and nodded in agreement.

"Well, it seems that there is a fate between us, but let's talk about it first, doing our business is hard, and the second is that it is extremely risky, and there will be danger to life at any time, you have to think clearly." Tang Dalong said.

"Even if it is to go up the knife mountain and get off the oil pot, I am willing." Ren Zhanbiao said firmly.

"In that case, then I'll take you, you get up."

Ren Zhanbiao kowtowed to Tang Dalong three more times.

Tang Dalong picked him up and said, "The age difference between us is not too big, what kind of master and apprentice, I sound awkward, we are called brothers, so casual." ”

"Brother Tang." Ren Zhanbiao finally smiled.

Ren Zhanbiao settled his sister at home, Tang Dalong threw some silver taels to her, and the sister and brother parted in tears.
