Chapter 388: The White Fox in the Field, the Heart of the Craftsman (I)
The golden sun is like a bead curtain and jade curtain, swaying at the northern foot of Qingqiu Mountain in the afternoon.
Between the light and shadow, it seems to cover the green mountain and pastoral in front of him with a faint golden glow.
As far as the eye can see, the golden fields are dotted with the figures of many hard-working farmers harvesting rice.
Buffalo, mules and horses are hauling improvised wooden carts, loaded with golden paddy, tirelessly humming to and fro the fields.
And not far from the foot of the mountain, on a relatively spacious ridge, there is a group of farmers gathered together, as if arguing, accusing, arguing, shouting endlessly.
In the crowd was a burly hunter dressed in a sackcloth robe, with an animal skin belt around his waist, a hunting bow draped on his back, and a hunting fork in his right hand. The Orion looked dignified and honest, and he was arguing with a sad face to the crowd.
Opposite the Orion, in front of the group of croppers stood an old farmer who carried a white fox in his hand.
This old Zhuang is thin and tall, with a slender chin hanging down the sky, and a mustache curled on both sides, which makes people feel that he is a virtuous old man at first sight.
At this moment, he was looking at Orion with a look of disgust, and reprimanded: "... You Orion, you are so unreasonable! Although you make a living by hunting, you can't be so ruthless?"
As soon as these words came out, most of the people around nodded in agreement and echoed the solidarity.
And when the old farmer saw that all the villagers were on his side, he picked up the white fox with the injured hind leg in his hand, shook his head and sighed deeply: "Hey~ This white fox was picked up by me, and it can be regarded as fate." Look~ It has a round belly, and it must be pregnant with a cub. If you sell it for silver taels, won't this white fox mother and son die because of you?"
At this time, the old owner has read some books, and his knowledge is far away from these 'soil haha' facing the loess and facing the sky. As soon as his words of compassion came out, the people around him nodded in agreement.
I saw that the old farmer stretched out his hand to caress the white fox's round belly, and said compassionately: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, how can it not have a benevolent heart?
When the people heard this, they stretched out their thumbs one after another, and constantly praised the old owner for his kindness...
But Orion was in a hurry, pushing and pulling two entourages of the owner who was pulling him, and resolutely objected: "This white fox was caught by Zhang after searching in the mountains and forests for three days, why should he do good with you Li Shanren?"
The old owner of Li Zhuang looked pleasant, he waved his hand and motioned to the family behind him: "Give him a tael of silver, and the right to buy it." ”
Looking at the one or two pieces of silver in his hand, Orion was shocked for a moment, and then hurriedly threw the silver to the family, shaking his head resolutely: "No, no, no! This is a white fox, a rare thing, and the fur is more than a hundred taels..." ”
"Hmph~!" the old farmer snorted.
He trembled his slender gray beard and reprimanded: "Okay, you are a hunter, you only see money, but you don't care about the life of the unborn cub in the belly of this white fox, how ruthless is it~?
The old owner of Li kept stamping his feet, looking extremely angry and disappointed.
When everyone heard this, they were even more impressed and echoed it, accusing Orion of being greedy for money and ruthless, and having to create retribution!
And although Orion was red-faced, he still didn't want to live or die. Under the pull of the two family members, he seemed to use his strength to feed, and shouted loudly: "Let go of me~!
The old farmer took the one or two pieces of silver that the family arrived, weighed it in his hand, and then nodded pitifully: "Well~ I see." Then you and I will each take a step back, and the owner of the village will give you five taels of silver to treat the old mother, and the white fox will belong to me. ”
"Five taels, no success..... You clearly want to occupy my white fox!" Orion was anxious, and still shook his head in opposition.
For a while, he broke free from the shackles of the family on the right side, and forced back another frightened family member, arguing with everyone.
At this moment, not far from the crowd, there were three people who had been standing and watching for a long time.
These three people are the Luo Yu masters and apprentices who came when they heard the sound.
Luo Yu shook his fan slightly, looked at the noisy crowd with a smile, and asked lightly: "What do you think... Who's right and who's wrong?"
Zhao Xuan and Shu Fangyi also followed for a long time, and naturally knew that what Shizun was referring to was Zhang Orion, who was unwilling to release the white fox, and a group of croppers led by Li Shanren.
I saw that Zhao Xuan did not hesitate, and took the lead in speaking: "Heaven has the way of heaven, the earth has virtue, and people should also have a benevolent heart." Although the hunters make a living by hunting, the white fox has a child in the belly and should be released into the mountains. Besides, the old owner of Li also promised to give him two silver taels. Therefore, the disciple thought that the people were right with the old owner of Li Laozhuang, and the Orion was wrong. ”
"Oh?" Luo Yu glanced at Zhao Xuan, who was firm, and then looked at Shu Fangyi: "What about you?"
Shu Fangyi thought about it, he glanced at the angry people, and finally replied: "Shu'er thinks that the old farmer takes people's prey and is strong and right, although there is something wrong, but he knows that the old mother of Orion is sick, and he is willing to trade two silver, which shows that he and all the hearts are good deeds." Although Orion has filial piety in the front, it is difficult to hide the greed for money and money, and there should be mistakes. ”
Luo Yu smiled: "In other words, you all think Orion is wrong?"
Zhao Xuan nodded his head: "Everyone accuses Orion of being wrong, can there be any fault?"
"Hmm..."Luo Yu was noncommittal, and nodded slightly: "So~ In other words, most people are right, so it shouldn't be wrong?"
When the two heard this, they naturally nodded in agreement.
But Luo Yu suddenly closed the fan, pointed at the heads of the two, and one of them gave it.
"Oops~!" the two suddenly called out in a fake look.
Looking at the two of them who were holding their heads and shrinking their heads, Luo Yu asked with a smile: "What the teacher has seen, it is different from you." ”
Zhao Xuan looked strange: "Master, don't you think so?" Luo Yu didn't answer, but asked them: "What do you think bullying is?"
Zhao Xuan replied without thinking: "Bullying is bullying." ”
Shu Fangyi also replied one after another: "Bullying the widow with the crowd is bullying." ”
"Oh?" Luo Yu raised his fan and pointed at the crowd: "Then what is it here?"
The two were shocked!
Then he looked at the crowd in amazement, and Orion alone argued with the owner of Li Zhuang and the people, naturally weak! How can this count as bullying?
But Luo Yu then asked, "Is it bullying one person by ten people?"
The two looked back and looked up, and after hesitating for a moment, they said in unison: "Count!"
Luo Yu asked again, "What about the hundred?"
"Count!" replied the two of them, stunned.
Luo Yu suddenly frowned: "What about the ten thousand?"
"Ten thousand... 10,000 people?" Zhao Xuan said to his lips, and he was stunned in place.
After pondering, Shu Fangyi wondered: "Ten thousand people refer to one person, counting... Count it right!"
"Yes, yes. Luo Yu looked at Shu Fangyi with satisfaction: "Ten thousand people bully one person, these ten thousand people are just as you think, they are righteous." They don't feel like they're wrong. Because..."
As he spoke, Luo Yu looked at the crowd who were still accusing the hunters: "When the eyes are cloudy and confused, they are dazzling when they are clean. There are no facts in the world, and a unified voice is a fact. When everyone is doing the wrong thing and you are doing the right thing, then you are wrong in their eyes. ”
When Zhao Xuan and Shufang Yi heard it, it was like an initiation... Surprised!
But Luo Yu flicked his fingers, and suddenly a burst of energy shot towards the fox's belly!
Bang~!
With a faint muffled sound, the white fox in the hand of the old owner of Li Laozhuang, its round belly actually squirmed violently!
Immediately, after the white fox retched for a while, it spit out a lot of residual rotten food, which was accompanied by a strong smell of medicine!
This sudden scene really shocked the people, and the old owner Li was even more shocked.
And at this moment, I saw that the well-informed old owner Li's eyes were wide open! Pointing to the dark green flesh of one of the vomited things that was emitting poisonous gas, he retreated in horror and screamed: "Poison... Poisonous belly!"
As soon as this sound came out, the surrounding people screamed and fled......
The old farmer's entourage was even more shocked, and forced the old farmer to quietly urge: "Master, this white fox has been poisoned, it's worth the money, let's run quickly!?"
"Why are you still stunned? Don't you help the owner of the village to run!" The owner of Li Zhuang hated that iron could not become steel, and reprimanded left and right.
As a result, the 'kind' Li Dashan, with the support of his entourage left and right, fled in a hurry...!
In this situation, Shu Fangyi and Zhao Xuan were stunned.
