Chapter Fifty-Eight: Knowing Grace
Gradually entering the village, the smoke wafting from every house is full of tranquility, and bursts of laughter come from the courtyard next to him from time to time, which is the happiness of mortals, and in this atmosphere, even the air on the street makes Alai feel warm.
"If you give me the joy of my family, I will never cultivate immortals!" Immortals, up to now, are not what Ah Lai wants to pursue, it is just a means to resurrect his parents.
A wisp of simple rice wafted into Ah Lai's nose, causing Ah Lai's stomach to gurgle, and Ah Lai rubbed his stomach vigorously, trying to smooth out the considerable movement in his stomach.
Thinking that Ah Ying also smelled the fragrance of the food, he shouted at Ah Lai: "Brother, Ah Ying is starving to death!"
Ah Lai turned his withered yellow face and smiled bitterly, "Sister, it's really hard for you to follow me like this!"
This conversation happened to be heard by an old man who was walking from the house to the courtyard in a courtyard next to him, the old man walked out of the yard, looked at Ah Lai with a yellow face, and said: "This little brother, since your sister is hungry, I don't think your face is very good, the old man just finished cooking, if you don't dislike it, come to the old man's house to eat a bite!"
Ah Lai looked at the old man, full of silver hair, his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were gloomy, almost a few years old, Ah Lai bowed his hand and said: "Boss, take the liberty to come to the door to disturb, there is a lot of inconvenience, the old man is kind, I have it in my heart!"
The old man waved his hand, "Hey, little brother, there is only one little old man at home all day, very lonely, the three of you should talk to me and have a light meal?"
Seeing that what the old man said was sincere, Ah Lai was not good to refuse again, and Ah Ying was indeed hungry, Ah Lai nodded and responded: "In this way, it will be more trouble!"
The old man smiled and beckoned Ah Lai and the three of them into the house, and sure enough, the table was full of meals, although most of them were peasant vegetarians, at this time, in Ah Lai's eyes, it also looked delicious, and looked around the house furnishings, thinking that this old man should be a solid family.
Arrange for the three of them to sit down, and the old man smiled: "People in the countryside, there is only this coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike the three of you, little brother, I see that your complexion is not too good, then you can't be hungry, don't be polite, eat quickly!"
As a foodie, Ah Ying didn't need to be entertained by the old man at all, and started to take care of himself.
As soon as he sat down, there was no need to be too polite, and Ah Lai began to gobble it up.
A gust of wind swept the clouds, there was basically not much food left on the table, Ah Lai hiccuped, and the feeling of his childhood returned, full and hungry, that is heaven and hell, this is Ah Lai's experience countless times.
Looking at the unfinished meal of the four people, Ah Lai asked puzzledly: "Uncle, you are the only one in the family, how can you cook so many meals?
"Hehehe, the little brother laughed, how can the old man know those immortal spells. When it came to the immortal spells, the old man's expression darkened.
"Why do you do so much?" Ah Lai was even more puzzled.
"The three of them are also members of the hunting team, because our village is the closest to the dense forest, so there are indispensable people returning from the forest on weekdays, just out of the forest, most of them are hungry like you, and people often come to the door to ask for some food, especially in recent days, I don't know what happened, I see that there are so many people in the forest, thinking that there may be people returning, so I prepared more, this is not really meeting you!" the old man explained.
"Uncle, you are really old-fashioned, admire and admire!" The old man's words made Ah Lai awe-inspired, what a loving old man he is, that is, the golden immortal in the sky, when did he ever give him a grain of rice, and this ordinary old man is a great love to cover the sky.
"What did the little brother say, little old man, I saw that like you, in order to make a living, sleeping in the open all day long, it is not easy, I can't bear it, besides, little old man, I am alone all day, and I am also bored!" The old man continued to humbly.
"Uncle, I see that your family is also a solid family, where are your children? Where are they all left? Why are you the only one left in the family?" I heard the old man talk about being alone many times, Ah Lai couldn't help but ask.
Listening to Ah Lai's question, the old man was sad from his heart," Hey, don't hide it from the little brother and say, the old man has two sons, and he was pulled to the beginning of the practice by the Taoxian Gate, saying that my two sons have immortal assets, and at the beginning of the family there were sons to cultivate immortals, which was the supreme glory in the village, and the situation at home was getting better and better, but then they no longer returned home, I ran to the Taoxian Gate to inquire, and the immortal chief there told me that my two sons died one after another in a mission to explore the immortal mound, and I took pity on my wife, who couldn't withstand the blow, and died soon after, leaving only me, an old man, who has survived so far. After choking up, the old man burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, old man, I shouldn't have asked about your sadness!"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's the past, I'm old too, I'll go underground to reunite with them after all, I'm looking forward to that day coming soon!" the old man wiped his cloudy old eyes and continued.
With a fist on the table, Ah Lai said angrily: "Immortal Dao, it's Immortal Dao again, Immortal Dao makes people, your two sons are also confused, why do you have to be obsessed with this Immortal Dao?"
"Hey, little brother, don't you know, which are my two sons obsessed with what fairy road, they are all forcibly accepted by the Taoxian Gate, we and other ordinary people, don't dare to disobey! Not only my family, but also the Zhao family and his wife in the east of the village were also forcibly taken away by the Taoxian Gate, and later both died, leaving a man, two women and three dolls, who were able to continue to live by the help of the people in the village. The old man shook his head and sighed.
Another punch on the table, Ah Lai was angry in his heart, "Damn, how can there be such a shameless immortal sect in this world!"
"Shhh
When Ah Lai was about to refute, he suddenly heard a commotion in the courtyard, followed by a loud voice in the room, "Lao Zhangtou, I'm starving to death, eat and drink quickly." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the closed door was rudely kicked open, and a group of people rushed in from the courtyard.
The first leader is a strong man, thirty-five or sixteen appearance, bronze face, a strong muscle looks powerful, the strong man looked at a few people in the room, his eyes swept over the sick Ah Lai, looking at the wind-swept leftovers on the table, the strong man's eyes were green, "Hey, Lao Tzu's food, but let you be a sick man first! Lao Zhangtou, how did you do it today, hurry up and get more for the masters, Lao Tzu is starving!"
It turned out that this old man's surname was Zhang, and the old man was about to get up and go to cook, but he was pulled by Ah Lai, Ah came to look at Lao Zhangtou and asked: "Uncle, is this what you say, those not easy hunting teams?"
"That's right, they're from the fire team, Ping Suri will take a bite at me when they pass by here, little brother, you sit down first, and I'll go get them food." As he spoke, Lao Zhangtou wanted to get up again, but Ah Lai took his hand, but he didn't let go.
Seeing this scene, the strong man on the other side was not happy, and opened his mouth and said: "Hey, where did the sick seedlings come out, you ate all the food of Lao Tzu, it's not bad if Uncle Ben doesn't settle accounts with you, you are still crooked, Lao Tzu is not eating you, it is your turn to talk more?"
Ah Lai glanced at the strong man indifferently, and said in a good voice: "Friend, when you receive gifts, you should always understand the minimum politeness, right?"
"Polite? I'll be polite to your uncle! Lao Tzu has always been like this when he comes to Lao Zhangtou! Lao Zhangtou has no opinion, which onion are you? Look at your appearance that can't stand Lao Tzu's slap, Lao Tzu really doesn't want to dirty his hands. The strong man's eyes widened and he glared at Ah Lai.
"Since this is the case, then today I will first teach you what it means to respect the old and love the young, and respect the sick as yourself!"
Like a sudden wind, the afterimage of Ah Lai remained in place, the strong man who was still standing at the door just now was gone, and the few people crowded at the door were knocked open by a strong force, and then, a wail came from outside the courtyard.
"Ah......h
The unknown fire team looked back and saw that Ah Lai was standing in the courtyard at this time, and the strong man fell straight outside the courtyard like an upside-down onion.
At this time, the members of the fire martial arts team reacted, and they didn't know what tricks this sick seedling had used, so they threw their boss out, and they all raised their swords, shouting at the boss while slashing and killing Ah Lai.
Looking at the members of the fire martial arts team who were slashing at him with angry faces, Ah Lai slapped one by one like a leisurely stroll, and the poor members of the fire martial arts team fell out of the courtyard one by one like dumplings.
After fanning everyone away, Ah Lai also followed and came to the outside of the courtyard, and everyone looked at Ah Lai as if they had seen a ghost, and said in their hearts: "This sick seedling, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, is so powerful!"
Ignoring the people who moved backwards, Ah Lai walked to the side of the strong man, slapped the strong man awake, and the corners of his mouth rose on his withered yellow face, "Friend, now you know what it means to respect the old and love the young, and respect the sick as yourself, right?"
The strong man looked at the little brother who fell beside him, drooped his head and said, "Big... Big brother, the younger brother knows wrong, the younger brother knows!"
patted the strong man's shoulder, and the smile on Alai's yellow face was even bigger, "That's it, it's very good! Go and apologize to Lao Zhangtou, thank you, and then let's go!"
"Ahh , yes, yes, yes, little brother is going!"
I got up from the ground in a panic, and just got up and stumbled again, almost falling down again.
Running back to the courtyard in three steps and two steps, he solemnly saluted Lao Zhangtou, and the strong man said loudly: "Lao Zhangtou, I'm sorry! Lao Zhangtou, thank you!"
After that, he quickly retreated, beckoning the people of the fire team to leave in a panic, and he didn't dare to stay any longer.
Lao Zhangtou shook his head at Ah Lai and sighed, "Little brother, why are you doing this?"
Ah Lai smiled and said: "Uncle, we are human beings, those who know the grace can be helped, and those who are not virtuous will not be raised, not to mention that you are so old, how can they be allowed to drink like this!"
While we were talking, a child suddenly ran in from outside the hospital, and the child shouted as he ran: "Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Zhang, it's not good!"
