Ma Sheng couldn't listen to the old man's words, he was still crying, the cry alarmed the neighbors, they came to see, asked the reason, and reported to the police, a few policemen came overnight, holding batons or something, just like the villain who committed the crime has been caught, creating a scary atmosphere, but they investigated the scene in and around Ma Sheng's house several times, and finally did not find any clues, so it was over.

Later, Ma Sheng was so miserable that he didn't even have money for food, and someone sympathized with him, so he sent him rice or rice, of course it was good to send rice, just open his mouth as before. There is some trouble in delivering rice, he is too lazy to cook, he is hungry, he is very hungry, so he grabs raw rice to eat, and even eats the raw rice, and there are fewer and fewer people who sympathize with him, that is to say, there are not many people who care about him, and more often he has to starve, and cry when he is hungry.

That evening, the old man passed by again with wood-making tools on his back, and heard Ma Sheng crying loudly, so he walked in and persuaded, Xiaoma, you are young, you should learn carpentry with me! Eat 100 meals, three meals without worry. Maybe Ma Sheng was too hungry, his eyes were full of tears, and he looked at the old man and nodded.

The old man immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, young man, you must have a backbone, and you must rely on your own ability to support yourself to be glorious. Isn't it? Before it was stolen, you certainly had gold bars at home that could be used as money, so you could eat and wear without worry. This is a good thing and a bad thing, saying that it is a good thing means that it is convenient to have money; When it is said to be a bad thing, it means that having money also harms you, and you feel that you have something to rely on, so you are unwilling to study and work, and you have developed a bad habit of laziness.

Ma Sheng didn't listen to the old man's advice, he just watched the old man's cheeks bulge when he spoke, which made him think of eating, because the old man's mouth was moving. He wiped his tears with his hands and said, "Uncle, I'm hungry, can you get something to eat?"

Okay! You are now my apprentice, how can you not even provide food?

At that moment, he asked Ma Sheng to lock the door of the house and walk with him for a 10-kilometer night road to a village on the west side of the Vulture Mountain to have a supper and tooth sacrifice.

Eating the master's, Ma Sheng had to obey, the old man taught him to use an axe to chop wood and cut boards, how to use light and heavy force, balance and strength, and he slowly learned to do it. The old man was doing his own technical work, such as drawing paper, ink line, carving dragons and phoenixes, etc., and said while doing it, Ma Sheng, the theft of your gold bars is a bad thing, and why not a good thing? Ma Sheng was a little surprised, and looked at him distractedly, Master, what does this mean?

The meaning is simple, of course it is good to have gold bars, but it is better to have technology than gold bars. When the money is used up, there is no gold bar, and the technology is more valuable than the gold bar, and the more the technology is used, the more profitable it is.

Ma Sheng listened very seriously, so serious that he was a little stupid, he stopped the axe in his hand and stopped working, staring at the old man with his eyes, like a listener. The old man was a little unhappy, and said that you can listen, and you don't have to stop what you are doing.

Seeing that Ma Sheng was working again, the old man stroked his beard and continued, if it weren't for the theft of your gold bars, you would definitely not learn carpentry from me. You are the same, you have lost your gold bars and established the creed of life, which cannot be bought with money.

Ma Sheng seemed to listen incomprehensibly, his mind continued to wander, and he accidentally used the axe in his hand, and actually broke the skin of his left index finger, so painful, he hissed, threw away the axe, and saw the blood gushing out of the wound, making his hands all over the place, and thick blood dripping on the ground.

The old man came and picked up the axe, cut off a lock of his shirt, and bandaged Ma Sheng's wounds. Ma Sheng screamed, and the old man said calm down, don't be distracted when you work in the future.

It's you, talking about this and that, and I cut off my hands when I was distracted. Ma Sheng looked at him resentfully. The old man said kindly, it was me who was wrong, and I confessed my mistake to the disciples.

I don't want to be your apprentice anymore. Ma Sheng had a straight face, tears on his face. He also shouted, I want to go back, I don't study.

The old man didn't reply, ready to wait until he was emotionally stable before doing work. Ma Sheng, who has not suffered, can't stand this bit of suffering, and if he says he won't do it, he won't do it, and he insists on going back. The old man couldn't persuade him to come back, so he had to let him go. The wayward Ma Sheng returned home at that time, the blood stopped, no longer flowed, he no longer groaned, and sat in the hall with the open door, he looked at the sky and was stunned.

Suddenly, a young man in the village came to him and said, Ma Sheng, Ma Sheng, the world is really cold, even the Wu matchmaker in the village is very good, I heard that you have been stolen and lost your wealth and become a poor egg, so I will no longer tell you the matchmaker. The girl I said before wanted to come to see you, and she broke it, saying that you are a lazy person, and if you are a daughter-in-law, you will not be productive, so that girl will do it.

Ma Sheng was as quiet as the wooden chair he was sitting on, as if he hadn't heard. The young man approached him again and asked, Ma Sheng, why don't you speak? You have to have backbone, you have to have the courage of a man, stand up to the sky and do a career, let others see. Ma Sheng still didn't speak, looking wooden. When he saw that the young man was approaching, he stretched out his finger, which had been cut by an axe, and was wrapping around the strips of cloth, and said, "Pain, I will never learn carpenter again."

How did you get hurt on your fingers? When the young man saw that he was silent, he wondered if he had been injured by an axe or chisel used as a carpenter.

It's an axe, and I'm not going to do it again. Ma Sheng said as if he was playful. When the young man saw his stubbornness, his good impression of him was gone.

Ma Sheng's predecessor was a mentally handicapped man named Shi Lan, and on the eve of his reincarnation, the Hades played the gods of heaven and arranged for two gods of wealth to help Ma Sheng, who was born as an adult in the future, to make a fortune and prosper. The gods are allowed to play. Hades immediately summoned two gods of wealth, one surnamed Lin and the other surnamed Hong. He instructed that after eighteen years, Ma Sheng would grow up, and the two of them should do their best to assist.

Lin Caishen asked, how to assist? Ma Sheng was born in the year of Yimao, and his life is prosperous, and he can seek wealth in the woods and mountains. You are a forest, just to help him accumulate wealth and become rich. Thanks to Hades for his guidance, Lin knows. Lin Caishen gave up. The god of wealth asked the king of Hades again, knowing that Ma Sheng was born in the first day of the moon, there are three layers of soil, Wang Tu is gold, when the time comes, Ma Sheng can dig out a very valuable treasure in the soil layer, and can make a fortune. Of course, all this needs to be dialed by the God of Wealth.

Time flies, time flies, seeing that eighteen years have flown by, Lin Caishen and Hong Caishen, who often play chess together and have fun, suddenly remembered the instructions of the Hades King, and did not dare to slack off, and went to Ma Sheng's Five Elements to wait and answer him. But Ma Sheng never appeared.

Lin Caishen waited in the mountains and forests for several years, and once followed a woodcutter into the mountain village, but there was still no trace of Ma Sheng, so he had to wander in the forest area. In the same way, the god of wealth enlisted the help of the god of the land every time the moon was not shining, and paraded around some of the cellars where gold and silver jewels were hidden, waiting for Ma Sheng to appear to guide him in his excavation. I don't know what's going on, Hong Caishen has always been rare to meet Ma Sheng.
