Chapter 20: Tie Guan Li
A ruined, ugly beggar, but very hard-hearted, has white porridge and does not drink it, but has to eat steamed buns.
Is this normal?
apparently
This is not normal!
It's right if it's abnormal, if it's normal, Chen Xiang won't come down yet.
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.
This lame man dares to act so flamboyantly, there must be something different from ordinary people.
What is he lacking now?
Isn't there just a lack of a method that can cultivate immortals?
Where does this method come from?
Of course, it came from such a strange man!
Don't you see that in folklore, what kind of stories have been passed down from generation to generation about the gods testing mortals, character, understanding, etc., one after another?
It's not that Chen Xiang is delusional, he just doesn't want to miss any possible opportunity.
Who is sure that this lame man is not the one who heard of his benevolent name and came to test him and turn him into an immortal?
All right
Even if this cripple is really just a crazy beggar, Chen Xiang doesn't lose anything, it's just a trip up and down the stairs, a few meat buns, and a pot of wine.
but
Opportunities are available but not sought.
..
Pedaling downstairs, when Chen Xiang came to the door, he already had an extra pot of wine and a plate of steamed buns in his hand.
He came to the lame man, handed him the thing, and said, "Man, big meat bun, and a pot of wine, taste it first."
Chen Xiang's expression was very attentive, as if he was filial to his father.
No
He has never been so kind to his father.
The ugly cripple was not polite, grabbed the big meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth, looking at the bun that was not big in his mouth, but big in fist, one bite at a time, it seemed that he didn't need to chew it.
Tons and tons of tons,
After eating the big meat bun, he picked up the wine jug again, raised his head, and poured it into his mouth with the spout down.
The wind circle was like a remnant cloud, and in the blink of an eye, the ugly cripple raised his black cuffs, wiped his mouth casually, and said indifferently:
"Still, I haven't eaten enough"
"You..." Zhao Tianlong was angry by his natural appearance.
"Yes, yes, there are enough drinks and food," Chen Laogou replied hurriedly, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
He turned his head and said to Zhao Tianlong again: "Brother Long, go to the backyard and talk to Uncle Wang, and get two good dishes to bring over."
"Agarwood, this..."
"Go quickly, or your wages will be deducted"
Don't look at Chen Xiang's young age now, there is still a hint of milk when he speaks, but Zhao Tianlong is really afraid of him, seeing Chen Xiang's little face frowning, he turned around and walked to the backyard without saying a word.
This is a living ancestor, and now he is an official young owner, didn't he look at the plaque on the door, is it written [Liu Agarwood Inn]?
Besides, if he cried in front of his boss wife, saying that he had bullied him, it was estimated that the boss would be able to skin herself.
"Hey, forget it, although I haven't eaten enough, but I'm out of interest today, don't eat, as for deceiving the world and stealing fame or something, let's talk about it tomorrow" The ugly crippled his sleeves, and with a wave of his big sleeves, there was a fishy smell, and he turned around and limped away.
"Hey, ugly cripple, you stop for the master" Zhao Tianlong was so angry that he couldn't do it.
But the ugly cripple seemed to disappear from everyone's eyes as if he had not heard of it.
"Remember to come tomorrow," Chen Xiang shouted from afar.
"Hmph, agarwood, don't worry, if this lame man dares to come tomorrow, you can look at my means" In Zhao Tianlong's eyes, this ugly cripple is a stinky beggar who cheats and cheats and cheats.
Chen Xiang said: "If he still comes tomorrow, he will be served with good wine and meat, and he will notify me as soon as possible, do you know?" ”
"Agarwood..."
"Brother Long, don't worry, I know in my heart, in this way, I will give you a monthly increase of 100 yuan, and if you do this well, I will give you another 100 yuan"
"Hey, anyway, the inn belongs to your Liu family, you have the final say, but does the monthly money really give me two hundred Wen?"
Chen Xiang's little face raised: "Listen to me, do things well, don't say two hundred words, even two thousand words, it's okay."
Well
Use money to buy merit, this thing, no loss!
"Haha, then brother, I'm just waiting for your two thousand wen," Zhao Tianlong said with a smile on his face.
At this moment,
"Well, that, and buns and wine, we want to have a bite too"
"Get out!"
A few beggars who drank porridge nearby also wanted to follow the lame man, but they were scolded away by Zhao Tianlong loudly, and Chen Xiang did not stop him.
Anyway, after drinking the porridge, the merit is also in hand, so what do they do?
As for what is said to be evil without intention, although evil is not punished, if there is a heart for good, although good is not rewarded.
Anyway, his merit support system has nothing to do with this sentence.
Evil is evil.
Goodness is goodness.
As long as he does a good deed, even if it is a good deed done deliberately, he will still have merit to earn.
That's it,
Flattered!
Chen Xiang squatted at the door and said a few words to Zhao Tianlong, and was about to go back to the house, when a few dogs barked with a terrible sound suddenly came from his ears.
"Wow, uh... Wang"
He looked up, not far ahead, from the corner of the street where the ugly cripple had disappeared, a little milk dog covered in darkness ran over in a panic, several teenage dolls, holding wooden sticks in their hands, and stones chasing behind it.
"Woo... Wang, Wang"
The little milk dog screamed miserably, stumbled, fell in front of Chen Xiang, and then hurriedly got up, but hid behind him and shivered, as if he was relying on him and seeking shelter.
That look is very pitiful!
Chen Xiang looked down at the little covered in pitch black, and then at the dolls chasing over, and smiled in his heart.
look at
Didn't this merit come to your door by yourself?
"Brother Long, it's up to you"
"Wang" Zhao Tianlong understood, a dog barked and jumped out directly, the appearance of teeth and claws, as if the dog demon came into the world, frightened the dolls who chased after him, wow wow crying, throwing down the wooden sticks and stones in his hand like throwing off his armor, turning around and running.
Chen Xiang looked at the merit light curtain.
Doing good deeds: +1
Chen Xiang: ?
Giving people a few catties of food has 10 merits, and saving a dog's life gives 1 merit?
Doesn't it mean that all beings are equal?
Is it different between humans and dogs, or is there something in it that I don't know yet?
Chen Xiang's eyes were slightly condensed, thoughtful.
As for the matter of scaring the crying doll, it was done by him Zhao Tianlong, and if you want to deduct merit, it is also Zhao Tianlong, what does it have to do with me Chen Xiang?
"Hey, hey, agarwood, how is it, see if I'm awesome?" Zhao Tianlong drove away the dolls, turned around and came back with a smug face.
"Don't look!"
Zhao Tianlong: ....
Glancing at the 1 merit that was still trembling behind him, Chen Xiang said to Zhao Tianlong:
"Brother Long, take half a bowl of porridge from the pot and give it to this little one" After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the inn.
Lao Liu is still waiting for him upstairs!
"Wang, Wang"
The little milk dog saw that he was leaving, lowered his little head, and followed him with four little short legs, as if he recognized him.
"Haha, Agarwood, you really have a dog fate, this little guy seems to have identified you"
Looking at the little black dog, stupid and cute, and pitiful, Chen Xiang squatted down, touched its puppy head, and then got up and said to Zhao Tianlong:
"Feed him something and keep it in the backyard, poor little fellow too"
Well
It can be regarded as researching, what is different about this little black dog, and how to give a merit?
Among them, there is definitely something weird!
