Volume 1 Folk Thoughts Chapter 11 Taoism

Wang Dashi's family is poor, and after the toss of two marriages, it is like a dry mouse hole covered with snow and frost, and there is no hope for life. Since then, Wang Dashi has also changed like a different person, rarely speaking, arrogant, and often staying at home and not going out. Time passed little by little, and as he grew older, he gradually felt that he could no longer stay in the village.

Wang Lichang is stubborn, and it didn't take long for Wang Dashi to find a partner to marry a daughter-in-law.

In a short period of time, he failed to marry his wife twice, and Wang Dashi was worried that something would happen again, so he did not agree to Wang Lichang. He couldn't bear to be trembling every day, so he found a broken shed in the village to live in, so as to eliminate the roots of his ears, but not long after he lived, a strong wind blew the shed, and there was no place to stay, so he scattered everywhere for some time.

After thinking about it in the past few days, Wang Dashi has a clearer understanding of himself, and after careful consideration, he decided to learn the skills, learn the skills and crafts to make money, and save money to ask for a real good daughter-in-law, and live a good life, so that he has enough dignity and will not be humiliated and gossip. After all, he has experienced too many things, and he can no longer withstand the toss of reality and psychological blows.

With this idea, Wang Dashi returned home and prepared to tell Wang Lichang his thoughts.

On this day, he got up early to clean the courtyard, and then found a book and studied it, this book was read in the early years when he was in private school, and he wanted to read more and know more words. As the saying goes, read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, and learn more than know less!

Wang Dashi looked at it for a while, but he didn't understand anything. At this time, it was already noon, and the little piglet screamed, and Wang Dashi mixed it with herbivory food and poured it into the pig trough. This pig seedling has just been brought back by Wang Lichang recently, and the pig recognizes life and comes over shyly. At this time, a donkey cart drove through the narrow road in front of the door, and a gentleman sat on the cart, and the donkey saw the pig trough, and turned around and ate the pig food.

The donkey was not honest at all, and kept putting his nose on the piglet's cheek, and then sniffing the pig's tail. Wang Dashi thought that he was stupid and stupid, but he didn't expect that the pig seedlings he bought were also stupid, and the forage was almost eaten by the donkey, so he didn't resist at all. Wang Dashi scolded silently: "It's really useless, stupid, stupid as me, not a family, don't enter a family!"

The gentleman who drove the donkey smiled as he watched the donkey eat the pig feed.

Wang Dashi said to Mr. Donkey: "This is the pig feed I mix, how can a donkey eat it!"

The donkey driver said, "My donkey is pregnant, and wants to give birth to a pony, and he is hungry and diligent, and he can't help but eat some pads." ”

Wang Dashi was even more puzzled and asked: "It is a natural thing for a donkey to give birth to a donkey, how to give birth to a pony?"

The donkey driver said, "This donkey has been bred with a maned horse, and for two months I have seen that the donkey has cloudy eyes, a crooked buttocks, a mixed blue body, and a love of intimacy with foreign animals, and a strong temper, which is a sign that the baby will be born." If the donkey has a round buttocks and a purple body, it will give birth to a baby donkey. ”

Wang Dashi felt very novel, and looked at Mr. suspiciously.

The gentleman saw his thoughts, smiled, and said: "I am a craftsman who walks the road, and I can be regarded as a person in the road!

"What is this?"

He explained: "Xingdao is a general term for all walks of life, a place or a group of people or a way. For example, there are lactation promotion lines, corpse raising lines, sword casting lines, burial lines, crying and mourning lines, cultivation lines, drama lines, and wood construction lines...... There are many, many, many craftsmen in the road......"

Wang Dashi was still ignorant, but he was particularly interested, and he asked: "These, Xingdao, what are these for?"

The gentleman said: "For example, whose eldest daughter-in-law has a child without milk, drinks chicken soup, broth, The black fish soup can't be urged, it must be a blind tits or the meridians are swelled to death, you have to find an old mother master who promotes lactation, and the old mother spreads the oil on the chest, and uses the technique, touches and squeezes, scrapes and scrapes, and then there is a way, and the qi and meridians are smoothed, and the milk is urged out, which is called eating by the craft; ”

Wang Dashi laughed, and then asked, "What is the corpse raising shop?"

Mr. replied: "Raising corpses, that is naturally an industry that specializes in raising corpses, Mr. Raising Corpses has professional skills, can raise dead corpses into living general, high-ranking officials and dignitaries died, and the descendants spent money to invite Mr. Raising Corpses to maintain and preserve their corpses, which can keep their faces unchanged, and can even use gang spells to urge them to move." If these corpse-raising craftsmen establish and form a gang, they will be called 'corpse-raising faction', and in the end, these are considered 'corpse-raising', and they are the characters of the Tao. ”

"What is the sword-forging line, and also, and the crying and mourning line......"

The gentleman replied, " The sword casting line is a school specializing in casting swords, not only the production and manufacturing, but now it has developed to self-sales, and it is a well-known faction in the road; the burial school is a school specializing in burial, after a person dies, it is necessary to pay attention to the burial and landfilling, which is exactly what the burial school does; different places, and the emphasis is also very different, for example, the old man dies, the family is not allowed to cry, and the money is spent to find someone to cry on behalf of the family, these people are from the crying and mourning industry, specializing in the industry of crying and mourning; not to mention the cultivation line, the industry that specializes in cultivating flowers and trees, the cultivated fruit trees grow different fruits throughout the year, which is really enviable......”

Wang Dashi asked patiently. Mr. Zhang replied unhurriedly, and when he saw that his donkey was full of food, he shut up and sent the donkey away.

However, Wang Dashi was not overjoyed, dumbfounded, and sighed: "The world is really wonderful! The people in the Tao are really amazing!" He had never heard so much, either wild or hearsay, which aroused infinite reverie in his heart. He hoped that he would be able to devote himself to the practice, and thought to himself: "The lactation business should be a women's gang; the corpse raising and burial business are dealing with the dead, which is too terrifying; the sword casting and smelting sword must be indispensable to killing; but the cultivation line is the best, cultivating vegetables and fruits, and producing different fruits, and in the future, you can also make money by selling the fruits, which is enough to support your family......

"Look, look like a gentleman, then, what are you doing?" asked Wang Dashi.

It turned out that Mr. Zhang, who drove the donkey, was a craftsman, and the local call this craft "animal breeding", and he formed a livestock business with two auxiliary apprentices, simply put, to breed and breed livestock. In general, there are two kinds of breeding, one is breeding, that is, the same breed breeds more young, and the other is breeding, that is, different strains of poultry and livestock are breeding different species from the same line.

It is really the eighteen lines in the world, and all the lines are Taoism!
