Chapter 32: Chapter 18
The little beggar didn't want black and white swords, Xie Yanke took out a piece of green cloth and wrapped the double swords, carried them on his back, and thought: "What should he ask me for?" While he was groaning, he suddenly saw three jujube trees beside the road, full of red jujubes, pointed to the jujubes and said, "The jujubes here are very good." Seeing that the three jujube trees were all tall, the little beggar only begged to pick dates by himself, which was regarded as pleading, but the little beggar said: "Good man, you want to eat dates, don't you?" ”
Xie Yanke said curiously: "What a good person? The little beggar said, "You are a great good person, so I will call you a great good person." Xie Yanke's face sank and said, "Who said I was a good person?" The little beggar said: "Either a good person or a bad person, then I will call you a big bad person." Xie Yanke said: "I'm not a big bad person. The little beggar said: "This is strange, neither a good person nor a bad person, ah, yes, you are not a person!" Xie Yanke was furious and shouted, "What did you say? The little beggar said: "You have great ability, are you a god?" Xie Yanke said: "No! The tone was no longer as grim as before, and he continued: "Nonsense! ”
The little beggar shook his head and said to himself: "This is not it, that is not it, but I don't know what it is." Suddenly he ran to the bottom of the jujube tree, held the trunk with both hands, supported his feet a few times, and climbed up the tree.
Xie Yanke saw that although he didn't know martial arts, his ability to climb trees was extremely flexible, so he saw him picking up the largest jujube and stuffing it into his arms, and his chest bulged high in a moment. He slipped down the tree, held a handful in both hands, handed it to Xie Yanke, and said, "Eat dates!" You're not a human being, you're not a ghost, are you a bodhisattva? I don't think so. ”
Xie Yanke ignored him, ate a few dates, sweet and juicy, and thought to himself: "He didn't come to beg me, but I begged him." Said, "Do you want to know who I am?" All you have to do is ask me, 'Tell me, 'Who are you?' Are you a fairy bodhisattva? So I will tell you. ”
The little beggar shook his head and said, "I don't ask for anyone's help." Xie Yanke's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Why don't you ask for someone?" The little beggar said: "My mother often said to me: 'Dog mongrel, don't ask for anything in your life. If someone wants to give it to you, you don't have to ask for it, they will naturally give it to you; If others refuse, it is useless for you to beg bitterly, but it will make them hateful. My mother sometimes ate sweet things, and if I asked her for them, instead of giving them to her, she would beat me up and scold me: 'What do you ask me for, bastard?' Why don't you beg your delicate little slut to go? Therefore I will not ask anyone. ”
Xie Yanke said: "Who is the 'delicate little slut'? The little beggar said, "I don't know." ”
Xie Yanke was strange and disappointed, and thought: "If this little guy really doesn't beg me for anything, how can this wish be fulfilled back then?" His mother is only afraid that she is a bustling woman, why does her son have to be beaten if he begs her for food? What she scolded as a 'delicate little slut', most of it was because her husband liked the new and abandoned the old and abandoned her, so she was full of evil anger on her son's head. Foolish women in the country, for there are many. Then he asked, "Are you a petty man who doesn't beg for food and money from others?" ”
The little beggar shook his head and said, "I never ask for it, I will take it if people give it to me." Sometimes people don't give it, he turns around and doesn't pay attention, I take it too, and slip away quickly. Xie Yanke smiled faintly and said, "Then you are not a little thief, you are a thief!" The little beggar asked, "What is a thief?" Xie Yanke said: "You really don't understand? Or pretending to be stupid? The little beggar said, "Of course I really don't understand, so I asked you." What does it mean to play dumb? ”
