There has never been good and evil in the world for no reason, and there are elusive human hearts.

This sentence is a sentence that Zhang Jiuling once said.

The people in the Yingchun Alley and the people in the Kushui Alley can't get used to each other, and the people in the Kushui Alley can't get used to the display of the people in the Yingchun Alley, and the Yingchun Alley only treats the people in the Kushui Alley as mud legs, and they want to see it coldly.

So there are often scolding and fighting. The women who scolded and fought were usually women who were idle at home doing needlework, and the people who fought were usually children who were playing indiscriminately.

The self-proclaimed supremacy of the feud is vividly displayed in this town.

The Fan family is a very famous family in Yingchun Alley, famous not because of how capable the men of his family are, but because the daughter-in-law of the Fan family is a first-class scolding expert, and no one in Yingchun Alley and Kushui Alley is not afraid of this person.

The daughter-in-law of the Fan family is named Cuilian, and I don't know what her surname is, but I know that others often call her Cuilian sister in person, and secretly call her Fan Changyu behind her back. It is common for the daughter-in-law of the Fan family to block a family in the house and scold them all morning.

The Fan family has two children, both girls. An older one named Cuihua was married at this time last year, and it seems that she was married to a family with some money in Yingchun Alley as a concubine. The young one is called Lotus, and she is only seven or eight years old this year, and she has already learned her mother's scolding skills by five or six points.

On this day, Xiao Yu wore a new red dress and walked home from the private school with a hand of almonds, and today Mr. said that she was very smart, and the clothes she wore were very good, and gave her a handful of almonds. Xiao Yu was very happy, and happily dared to wipe his sweat with his sleeve.

The almonds were divided into three portions, the most for his grandmother, and then half for himself and that brother.

That's what the little fish thinks.

"Yo, Xiao Mi, why did you put on new clothes today? It's not where you went to steal it!" A sneer came from the corner, and Xiao Yu turned his head and saw a lotus flower. Calling out to his sister, Xiaoyu replied timidly, "I didn't steal the clothes. ”

The sound is getting quieter.

Lotus sneered, stretched out her hand and pulled her newly bought scarf, and slowly walked over, "Didn't you steal the clothes? I don't believe it, who doesn't know that your mother stole someone? You see that you and your mother have also learned a lot of skills, one steals people and the other steals clothes." Yo, and the almonds! Did these almonds steal from my house?"

Xiao Yu pouted, didn't dare to look up, just glanced up at the lotus chin, and shook his head gently.

"If it's my almonds, I'll know if I taste them!" Lotus stretched out her hand, saw Xiao Yu's hand holding the almonds shrink slightly, and scolded: "You little girl, you still say that you didn't steal my family's almonds? You don't even dare to taste it for me, for fear that I will find out, right? Hmph, don't think I don't know, last time you went to steal the cucumber of the Tian family, you were caught by someone, yo, and now there are slap prints on your face!"

"I didn't steal!" Xiao Yu raised his head and said in a slightly louder voice, "Uncle Tian asked me to pick it!"

"! You're a scumbag who kills your father, right? If it's really Tian Er's cowardice who told you to pick it, then the daughter-in-law will beat you?"

Xiaoyu lowered his head and did not speak.

Hmph, Lotus sneered, stretched out her hand, and grabbed a large handful of almonds directly from Xiao Yu's hand, and there were not a few grains left in Xiao Yu's hand.

Throwing an almond into her mouth, Lotus snorted, "Sure enough, it's not mine, my almonds are much more delicious than this!

Xiao Yu was full of tears, and he didn't dare to say anything to refute it, but only dared to squat down slightly and pick up a few almonds that fell beside him.

Looking at Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance, Lotus was even more annoyed, and directly kicked the red sleeves over, "Hmph, what a fox spirit, what a cheap seed." My mother told me, your mother used to pretend to be pitiful, no, your mother killed your father, and now you kill your mother, haha, it's really not a family, don't enter a family!

Xiaoyu slowly sat up and wiped her tears.

Lotus originally felt a little happy in her heart, but now she felt a nameless fire in her heart, "Slut, maybe I stole the new clothes from somewhere, and the old lady tore them for you!" said as he squatted down and pulled Xiaoyu's clothes with his hands, trying to rip off the red clothes.

"I didn't steal it, no!" Xiao Yu struggled desperately, but he couldn't compete with the lotus flower who was five or six years older than him, and he could only watch the clothes he wore for the first time grind dirty on the ground, and watch the lotus flower pull off his body inch by inch.

At this time, a shout came from a distance, it was a middle-aged man with a simple face, and he shouted: "What are you doing? What are the two children fighting?"

Lianhua frowned at first, then turned her head and snorted coldly when she saw someone coming, "Tian Laosan, what are you doing here?!"

The middle-aged man known as Tian Laosan was frightened by Lotus's shout, and after a while, he scratched his head and said angrily: "It's not to blame me for meddling, since I saw it, then... ”

"Then what's the matter? Could it be that you still dare to do something to me?" Lotus sneered, walked over and scolded: "A man who has no ability is better than a dead eunuch! I don't know how your daughter-in-law likes you, it is better to marry a pig than to marry you!"

Tian Lao Er didn't say anything.

"Bah! thing!" Lotus spat on the ground, turned her head to look at Xiao Yu, and said coldly: "I'll let you go this time, and next time I tell you to steal something, I'll definitely strip you of all your clothes, and then throw them on the street to let them see the thief's face!"

The little fish squeezed the almonds tightly with one hand and tugged at his clothes with the other.

Lotus walked away proudly.

Tian Lao Er slowly walked to Xiaoyu's side, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he squatted down and picked up all the almonds on the ground and put them in Xiaoyu's hands.

"Thank you, Uncle Tian. The little fish wiped away her tears.

Tian Lao Er smiled and said: "Uncle Tian has no ability, he can't look down on his mother-in-law, it's Uncle Tian who can't stand you, I will secretly pick a cucumber and give it to you tomorrow." ”

"It's fine. Xiao Yu showed a smile towards Tian Lao Er.

Xiaoyu handed a few almonds that had never fallen to the ground to Tian Lao Er, said thank you Uncle Tian again, and walked away.

Tian Lao Er sighed, his stupid brain always couldn't figure out why there were always good people being bullied in this world.

In fact, it's very simple, since you are a good person, how can you bully others?

Right?

。。。。。。

There was a fairly imposing room in the mud bottle alley, but there was not much furniture left in the room, only a broken bench, a broken wardrobe, a bed with a missing leg and a brick, and an old lady with a withered face lying on the bed.

Outside the house was a small courtyard, which, like the other houses, had a willow tree planted in it.

This willow tree is medium in size, but there are only a few scattered leaves left, and every time it is blown off by the wind, it makes the little fish feel distressed for a long time.

The little fish sat by the willow tree, washing his stained red clothes.

This dress is a bit thick, which is really difficult for Xiao Yu, who is only four years old, Xiao Yu's face is full of sweat, and his hands are so sore that he can't lift them.

But Xiao Yu is still rubbing his clothes very hard, if only he could produce a big solar energy tomorrow to dry his clothes, Xiao Yu thought.

"Little man, little one!" came a hoarse cry from inside the room.

"Eh, eh!" Xiao Yu wiped his hand on his body and quickly ran into the house, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

An old man lying on the bed opened his eyes in a daze, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, with a few almonds in his hand, "Xiaoyi, you can eat these almonds, grandma can't bite it." ”

Xiao Yu thought for a while, but still stretched out his hand to take it, and turned around and put these almonds into an iron box on the cabinet, and there were quite a few almonds in this box.

The old lady smiled, "Xiaoyi, if you eat it, you will get wet if you keep it." ”

Xiaoyu shook his head, "I've eaten it, and I'll give some almonds to others later." ”

"Is it for Aunt Zhang next door?"

Xiao Yu was stunned, hesitated for a while and nodded.

The old lady's face changed.

"Tell me, you don't want to give these almonds to the guy who bought you clothes?"

Xiao Yu bit his lip, rubbed the corners of his clothes with both hands, lowered his head and did not speak.

The old lady's face became more and more stern, "I told you a long time ago, don't associate with outsiders! I have lived for so long, and I have never seen a good outsider who is a good person! Seven or eight years ago, a person came to our town, saying that he was a merchant from the Southern Dynasty, and when he encountered a storm and encountered a storm, he asked someone to help him salvage it. No one wanted to help him, that is, your father's idiot wanted to go, and he didn't listen to him after I persuaded him for a long time! As a result, there was another storm, and your father almost didn't come back! And the man took his goods and ran away! In addition, more than ten years ago, a man came to our town, saying that he was an official sent by the imperial court and that he had come to lead us to make a fortune, and that the grain and fish in the field could be sold to him! What happened to him? At first, he gave him money, but later said that his money was on the way, and he would bring it back immediately, and asked us to give him the goods first. As a result, he ran away with the goods, and dozens of people starved to death that year! This is a living example, you will be deceived!"

Xiao Yu raised his head and argued, "Big Brother is a good person, and isn't Elder Zhou also a good person?"

"What do you know? Elder Zhou is a fairy figure, a real immortal figure who has cultivated in the immortal gate for many years, and he has a bodhisattva heart! Only then will the people in our town believe him! But that outsider is different, is he a bodhisattva figure? I have never heard of him, why does he buy you clothes? Why is he good to you? Think about it, who is good to you among so many people in the town?"

"My mother said that there are many good people!"

Speaking of this, the old lady became even more excited, and her upper body was raised, "Your mother? What does your mother know? Your mother said that Tian Er was a good person, but within a few days, your father was killed by Tian Er in the Huilongjiang River! Ahem. ”

"Grandma!" Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward and patted the old lady on the back, her eyes full of worry.

Covering her mouth and coughing for a while, the old lady glanced at the red in her palm, clenched her hand without leaving a trace, and sighed, "Xiaoyi, it's not that grandma doesn't believe you, it's that grandma really can't live long, leaving you alone in this world, grandma is worried!"

Xiao Yu pursed her mouth, hugged the old lady's shoulder, buried her head in the old lady's chest, and sobbed quietly.

Xiaoyu is only four years old this year, her father died in the Huilongjiang River when she was one year old, and her mother was overworked when she was three years old, and she fell to the ground and did not get up again when she was helping people carry wood. Xiaoyu only has one grandmother left, but grandma still needs Xiaoyu to take care of her.

If grandma is gone, then what should Xiaoyu do?

The little fish is only four years old! Who will pity the poor little fish?

After listening to Elder Zhou's words, Pei Changfeng was a little depressed, he always thought that how hard and difficult his life was, but after he walked out, he realized that the suffering in his own body was nothing more than a drop in the bucket for some people.

Only then did he realize how lucky he was, and he realized how well he lived.

Because people always have it, and they always want to be better. Therefore, people always see the good in themselves, but they cannot see the shortcomings in themselves. People always see their own unhappiness, but they can't see their own happiness.

That's when you need a mirror so you can see yourself clearly.

Pei Changfeng smiled reluctantly, people shouldn't put their eyes on their heads, when you stand on the top of the mountain, you have to look at the clouds and wind fluttering in front of you, and you shouldn't look at the sun and moon overhead.

It's not uncommon for everyone to have ambition, but what's more precious is contentment.

However, on the second day, there were no small fish outside the town of Plum Blossoms, and the third day was still the same.

Xiaoyu didn't come to school.

On the fourth day, Pei Changfeng walked into Meihua Town for the second time, walked around the town for a long time, and arrived at a small square, where he listened to the bad things for a long time.

There is a willow tree in the middle of this small square, and under the willow tree there are seven or eight old men chatting with their daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law.

The sun leaned half-obliquely on the green hill inside the Purple Water Sect, and that side was to the east.

An old man smoking a dry cigarette frowned, "Now this harvest is getting bleaker and bleaker, you don't know, yesterday the seedlings in my field were dry, and they looked like they were going to die, sad!"

"I'm afraid that your land can't be completed, you are an old and weak body, I'm afraid that your own field has not been ploughed for a long time!

"There are no big or small things! Dare to talk about Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is your second master!"

"Hey, hey, it's fun!" the man laughed.

"Actually, the harvest in the field is nothing," a man who was cleaner smiled, "It would be nice if I could enter the Purple Water Sect and become a cultivator of the Purple Water Sect one day." When the time comes, it will be famous all over the world, and you will no longer have to worry about this field!"

"Third aunt, aren't your children studying in the Purple Water Sect?" an unmarried woman squinted at a woman.

"That's it. The woman was a little proud.

"What is that?" the other woman sneered, "I see, it's better to be able to read a book!" I think the Purple Water Sect is like this, as long as a person can read in it, there are mysterious and proud people? Don't you know, there are a few people in the Bitter Water Alley who can go to study. ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman with thin lips sneered and said, "That's it, there are all cats and dogs in it!" I know of a person, the family surnamed Yu, you know, the family that married a fox spirit and killed the whole family. That little girl in their house

You can also go inside to study, and it's not a good place to come to the Purple Water Sect!" moistened her mouth, and the woman continued: "A few days ago, that little girl actually stole cucumbers in my vegetable garden, and was discovered by the old lady, and a slap was thrown on her face, so that she fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, and gave the old lady tears and pretended to be pitiful, I bah!"

A simple-looking man said cautiously: "The little girl is just picking a cucumber to eat, what are you doing beating others." ”

Hearing this, the woman glared at her eyes and sneered: "Yo, are you still distressed? I know, didn't that little girl's cheap father save your life in Huilongjiang, and you really thought that he was really kind enough to save you! Hmph, if you really know how to repay your kindness, why don't you marry that girl's grandmother who is paralyzed on the bed as a daughter-in-law?"

The man couldn't say anything, so he had to squat on the ground and chew the willow leaves silently.

The woman sneered again, "Look at your cowardice, the old lady is really blind to be your daughter-in-law!"

A man laughed and said, "Sister Chunhua, if you don't like Tian Er, I'll be a dew husband and wife for you!"

The woman's eyes were like silk, "Cheng, when you come to my house tonight, my mother will ensure that the door of my house is open." ”

The man laughed again: "Hey, Tian Er, you don't have a problem with me sleeping with your daughter-in-law!"

The honest man chewed the willow leaves, squatted on the ground and laughed twice without answering.

"Chunhua girl, your man is really a bad seed!"

Pei Changfeng smiled, turned around and left, but after walking around the town, he still didn't meet Xiaoyu, and he asked several people and said that he didn't know, so he walked to this pharmacy.

Seeing that the owner of the pharmacy was really funny, Pei Changfeng chatted with Liu Laosan for a few words, and was about to ask if he knew Yu Xiaomi's residence when he heard a knock on the door. When I pushed the door open again, my eyes were red.

Xiaoyu's grandmother died the night before.

The day before yesterday, Xiaoyu's grandmother rarely wanted to get out of the room and smell the fresh air, but she didn't expect that the sky that was still sunny just now suddenly began to rain heavily, and this old man couldn't stand this torture. After changing his clothes and lying on the bed, he had a high fever that did not go away, Xiaoyu was so anxious that his eyes were red, and after boiling a bowl of soup and medicine for his grandmother to drink, the old man fell asleep deeply.

I fell asleep and never woke up.

There wasn't much left in Xiao Yu's house, there were a few almonds in the iron box on the cupboard, a tattered quilt full of smells on the crappy bed, two pots with wild vegetables and water, a willow tree in the yard, three benches, and a mallet to hammer clothes.

There is also a small fish.

The little fish cried miserably.

This pharmacy Xiaoyu came a lot because she used to have to fetch medicine for her grandmother. It's just that Xiaoyu has no money, so he has to help Uncle Peng do some chores every time he comes to grab medicine. Liu Laohan didn't want to see this little girl, joke, you come to grab medicine and don't give money, are you a living bodhisattva? But it is said that the heart of the doctor's parents, Liu Laohan's heart must be softer than others. In the end, I had to let this little girl go.

Xiaoyu has always remembered the goodness of this uncle who looks more than eighty years old.

It's just that Xiaoyu really has no choice, so he sells all the things that can be sold at a low price, and no one wants the rest of the things. The only thing that Xiaoyu can sell is that house, but no one wants to buy a house in ordinary people, and no one in a rich family wants to buy a house in a place like Kushui Lane. Besides, if this house is sold, where will Xiaoyu live at night?

Oh yes, Xiao Yu also has a bright red dress, although this dress was torn open by the lotus a few days ago, and it has not been mended until now.

Xiaoyu was reluctant to sell this dress.

But Xiao Yu still had some money to hire someone to carry the coffin and dig the grave, and Xiao Yu begged a lot of people! The neighbors and even the official lord begged all over the place, his forehead was red, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he heard the child and the mean lady say that she was a monster who specialized in killing her own family.

Xiao Yu pursed his mouth and walked, wanting to stuff two cotton balls into his ears, and wondered if he was really a monster who was a man, if he died, maybe his father and mother and his grandmother would be able to live longer.

It's just that he died late, even if he was going to die, Xiaoyu had to bury his grandmother before dying.

Grandma can't die without a stable place to sleep.

Xiao Yu had no choice but to come to Peng Ji Pharmacy, kneeling at the door and crying in a suppressed voice, crying depressedly and dullly.

。。。。。。

It is said that death is a hundred, but looking for death is really not a good thing. Xiaoyu's mother died, but until now, many people will spit in front of her grave, and will point to Xiaoyu's back and say that her mother is a nemesis, and by the way, Xiaoyu is also a nemesis.

The little fish lives a little tired, and the life is a little unclear.

Xiao Yu, who is only four years old, has already had suicidal thoughts, if it weren't for a grandmother lying on a hospital bed at home, there would probably be no Xiao Yu in the world.

But Xiaoyu was still lucky, before her grandmother went, she met Elder Zhou. After her grandmother went, she also had a Pei Changfeng.

It's just that this little luck is ignored and pale in the face of fate.

Looking at his grandmother's tomb, the tombstone was only engraved with a concise tomb of Zhang Xiuhua, and Xiao Yu wanted to grin.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Xiaoyu cried presumptuously in Pei Changfeng's arms.

The rain still didn't stop, and the gloomy clouds still weighed down people's breath.

Pei Changfeng stood in the rain holding an umbrella and holding Xiaoyu, looking at the new and old tombs, and then raised his head to look at the increasingly ugly sky, listening to Xiaoyu's cry, he always felt that there were many people in this world who owed a lot of debts, or that there were many people who had suffered a lot of injustice.

Plum Town is just a microcosm, just a microcosm of this world. But if a microcosm is so bad, then how bad the world will be.

Pei Changfeng hugged Xiaoyu, listened to Xiaoyu's cry when he finally calmed down, and felt the trembling of the villain in his arms, Pei Changfeng said: "Xiaoyu, do you think this world is good?"

Xiaoyu's voice was hoarse, "My mother said that this world is very good." ”

Pei Changfeng sighed, "Your mother is right, and she is wrong." After being silent for a while, Pei Changfeng smiled again and said: "Xiaoyu, do you know a sentence? It is a sentence that is very often heard outside, how to pronounce it, the hardships you have suffered now are for the blessings you will enjoy in the future." Xiaoyu, you have suffered all the hardships of this life, and you will definitely enjoy great blessings in the future!"

The little fish is silent.

Pei Changfeng sighed, "Xiaoyu, you have to live, you have to live well, and you have to raise your eyebrows in front of others, so that those who once looked down on you will regret it." ”

Xiaoyu whispered, "My mother said this is not good." ”

Pei Changfeng frowned and pursed his lips and smiled, "Little fish!"

After the hardships, the rest of the people should live well, no matter who they are for.
