There is a wealthy man in Lidong Town, named Su Renfu, who has a fat head and big ears, sparse eyebrows, small eyes, and a figure like a big turtle.

Su Renfu's main business is to do timber business, transporting the cedar wood from Tianlu Mountain out of the mountain to the county seat, selling it to others to build houses, and it can be regarded as a rich party in the Lidong area.

There is a saying: people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. Su Renfu saw that every polder day, the horse team of Su Huaicheng and his wife helped the villagers carry goods to the Heavenly Market on the top of the mountain, and the business was prosperous when they came and went. After carefully calculating the income from those transportations, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

After thinking about it, Su Renfu felt that running a horse team was a way to make himself richer, so he bought back more than a dozen strong horses from other places, and the rider hired from the northwest was called Hao Feilei, who knew some martial arts, and was not only a master of horse taming, but also a martial arts instructor.

Su Renfu hung up the signboard of "Xiongfeng Racecourse" to publicize it, and it was also used to transport mountain goods to the top of the mountain for the villagers.

Su Renfu has been rolling in the business for many years and is quite scheming. After he sent someone to secretly inquire about the price of Li Jinfeng's daily delivery of goods for the villagers, he immediately set the goods of his horse team to be lower than Su Huaicheng's horse team, so as to compete for customers.

The lowest price wins, this is the ruthless game rules of the mall. Not only that, Su Renfu also used some despicable tricks: send people to wait on the road to Su Huaicheng's house, and if they saw someone carrying goods and wanted to ask Su Huaicheng's horse team to transport them to the top of Tianlu Mountain, they would come out to "intercept peace"; Either use small favors or intimidation to snatch away those customers.

As a result, Su Renfu's "Xiongfeng Horse Farm" stole a lot of business from Su Huaicheng's horse team.

Su Huaicheng and Li Jinfeng had always known Su Renfu's character, so they had to lower the price of their horse team to make a living.

Su Renfu was still not satisfied with Su Huaicheng and Li Jinfeng's forbearance, and his purpose was to let Su Huaicheng's horse team go out of business because the business could not continue, and let him monopolize the transportation business within a radius of ten miles.

On this day, Su Huaicheng received a batch of business, to transport mountain goods for the villagers to Tiantianping on the top of Tianlu Mountain. After the horse team entered the mountain, they crossed the Huluo Bridge, and saw Hao Feilei riding a blackened Wuya horse with the other two horses of the Xiongfeng Horse Farm slowly moving in front. After Su Huaicheng caught up from behind, in a slightly wide place on the road, Su Huaicheng politely told him to get out of the way a little and let his horse team pass. However, Hao Feilei deliberately stopped in the middle of the road and did not give way.

Hao Feilei obviously did this deliberately at the behest of his master, Su Renfu.

Su Huaicheng knew that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he was afraid that Hao Feilei would be fierce, so he had to swallow his anger and follow him up the mountain slowly.

Some villagers were afraid that Su Renfu and Hao Feilei would cause trouble to themselves and their families, so they did not dare to come to Su Huaicheng's horse team to transport goods up the mountain, and became frequent visitors to Su Renfu's horse farm.

Su Huaicheng saw that the number of customers who came to ask his horse team to transport goods was decreasing, and he was anxious, and the gray hair on his head had increased a lot in just one month.

Zhu Decai saw that the business of his aunt's horse team was gradually declining, and he often heard his aunt sighing at home, knowing that the reason was that Su Renfu was not a healthy competition in the business field, but a bully, and he felt uncomfortable.

The waning moon is like a hook, hanging on the inky blue sky, and is obscured by flowing clouds from time to time. The Milky Way was confused, and the stars blinked weakly, emitting a cold light. The flowers and trees of the mountains were all drowned in the deep darkness.

A fast horse carrying a young man, with two sacks of things in front of him, walked slowly through the dark curtain of night on the ancient post road of Tianlu Mountain, stopped on the way to Xiangmian Ping, turned over and dismounted, took off the two sacks, untied the rope that tied the mouth of the sack, sprinkled the contents of the sack on the road, and then spread it evenly.......

The next day, the sun had just climbed the treetops, and the morning birds were still "chirping" in the big trees outside the yard.

Zhu Decai had just finished washing and was stretching his waist in the yard. Suddenly, Li Jinfeng hurriedly walked into the courtyard from outside.

Usually, my aunt is never too anxious to do things, and she often does things like a hurried wind and encounters a slow man.

Zhu Decai asked strangely: "Auntie, you went out early in the morning?"

"Yes!" Li Jinfeng's face was a little gloomy, like a dark cloud that often swept over Tianlu Mountain, "Something happened to the horse team of Xiongfeng Horse Farm." They had several horses that slipped halfway up the mountain........."

"Ah, is there such a thing?" Zhu Decai knew it, but he asked neatly, "Auntie, where did they slip?"

Li Jinfeng pointed to the mountain: "On the ancient post road not far from Xiangliuping." ”

Zhu Decai knew that the trap he set had succeeded, and pretended to be serious: "Riding a horse on the ancient post road on the mountain, the mountain road is narrow and steep, and it has just rained heavily in the past few days, why are they careless on the road?" ”

Li Jinfeng: "That's right, the horses of Xiongfeng Horse Farm fell down the steep hillside and injured several horses, and three people also fell and injured three horses, and one of them even broke his arm. This time, their losses are also heavy! ”

Zhu Decai's words were gloating: "Auntie, some time ago, their business was booming, but your business was deserted. Now that their men and horses are wounded, I don't think they'll be able to recover for a while, and your competitor has lost this time. ”

"My competitor lost?" When Li Jinfeng heard Zhu Decai's words, he was not overjoyed, "The people and horses on their side were injured, which is not worthy of my joy." In the business field, there can only be healthy competition, and you can't rely on evil ways to make money. ”

Zhu Decai: "This ...... This is too. ”

Li Jinfeng: "Although the road up the mountain is narrower, it can be passed safely, and after they fell, they dragged the disabled horses and the injured people on their backs down the mountain, blaming the people who fell after the rain?" ”

Zhu Decai nodded in approval: "I think this is eight or nine." ”

"I don't think that's the main reason." Li Jinfeng's pupils flashed a few sparks, "The road is covered with soybeans, and their horses slipped on the soybeans, this thing is indeed a bit bizarre." ”

Zhu Decai's mouth said so, but he knew best what he had done: the soybeans on the road on the road of Xiangliuping were sown by himself last night.

Subsequently, Li Jinfeng said to Zhu Decai: "I just received an order for business, and a mountain man wants to transport two large bags of dried bamboo shoots to Tiantianping on the top of the mountain, you can go for him." ”

"Okay." Zhu Decai departed in response, and after packing two large bags of dried bamboo shoots at the owner's place, he rode his horse to the top of the mountain, and was extremely careful when passing the section of the road in Xiangliuping, and tightened the reins of the red-maned horse, and walked slowly.

Zhu Decai looked down, and the road had been cleaned. After passing through the "dangerous" section of Xiangliuping, Zhu Decai spurred the horse to gallop on the ancient post road.

The mountain wind whistled in Zhu Decai's ears, the mountain road was one high and one low, potholes, the red-maned horse suddenly slipped forward, and a horse lost its front hooves, fell forward, and threw Zhu Decai on horseback down.

Coincidentally, Zhu Decai flew forward and threw it more than a foot away, fell heavily, and fell so hard that his eyes were full of gold stars, and a cloud of white mist instantly covered his eyes, and then it was pitch black, unconscious.

When Zhu Decai opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a bed, and in front of him stood a monk who was over half a hundred years old. He has a burly figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a Chinese character face, a large nose and mouth, slightly dark skin, and wears a yellow monk's robe.

Zhu Decai felt strange and asked with difficulty: "...... you Are you?"

The monk folded his hands, bowed, and replied, "The poor monk is called Zhishan." ”

Zhu Decai looked around, saw that everything was so unfamiliar, and said, "Master, this is ...... What kind of place is this?"

Zen Master Zhishan replied, "Tianlu Temple." ”

Zen Master Zhishan entered Tianlu Temple since he was a child and was the first disciple of Master Zhichang. The year before last, after Master Zhichang passed away peacefully at the age of 80, Zen Master Zhishan took over his Buddha lamp and became the abbot of Tianlu Temple. ”

"Tianlu Temple?" Zhu Decaiba blinked his confused eyes, "Why did I come to this Tianlu Temple for no reason?"

Zen Master Zhishan: "You fell off your horse and injured yourself on the ancient post road. ”
