On the long road, Chen Guo's experience was just a passing glance for Jiang Lili, but Cheng Ruyi's mood was extremely low, he didn't even eat much on this day, not at all like his original cheerful temperament, and his words were much less.

"What's the matter? It is said that the Buddha blesses people in the prosperous era of Shengping, and the Bodhisattva of war and disaster crosses the world, do you want to be a Bodhisattva as a half-hung monk?"

Jiang Lili has always spoken in this slightly sarcastic tone.

Cheng Ru shook his head, then nodded, then shook his head again. As if sensing that something was wrong with him, Cheng Ru sighed, "It's nothing, it's just a panic in my heart!"

"Isn't there less time for you to panic, haven't you tasted this taste when you were in Qionghu?" Jiang Lili replied, "Besides, you have the leisure to panic for others, why don't you think about it for yourself?"

Cheng Ru didn't reply, biting a steamed bun that was already cold, looking at the broken scene around him, but he couldn't swallow it.

Now the carriage has not yet left Chen Guo, but it is already noon, and the weather is a little hot. Jiang Lili felt a little tired physically and mentally after a few days of traveling, so the carriage stopped next to a village and lit a fire, on which was roasted a quail that had just been knocked down from a branch.

"Tell me, who is to blame for their lack of ability?" Jiang Lili fiddled with the fire casually, "Even if the place is poor and unproductive, I can shoot birds from trees, and you can touch fish from the water." We've seen fewer birds along the way, and we've seen fewer creeks? But isn't it because they don't have the ability to do this?"

Cheng Ru tore off a small piece of steamed bread and put it in his mouth, "You can't say that, originally they made a living by farming." Now that God is angry, and does not rain nectar, what can they do? They are not hunters, they can't hunt birds, they are not fishermen, they can't touch fish. They... ”

Before Jiang Lili could finish speaking, he interrupted Cheng Ruyi's words, and he sneered: "I was born to shoot birds? You are born to touch fish? Who was not forced out? Tell me, this is all this skyscape, they are still guarding their own half an acre of land and begging God to rain, are they stupid enough or are they inert roots?"

Cheng Ru was speechless, and after a while, he replied hesitantly: "You can't say that, there are three thousand in one country, and each performs its own duties." If they don't have this ability, there is no way to do it, and someone should teach them. ”

"Do you still need to be taught?" Jiang Lili laughed, "I can shoot birds when I am six years old, do I still need to be taught this kind of thing? It is nothing more than whether I am proficient or not." But even if you don't know how proficient you are, you have to do it, but along the way, you have met a few people fishing in the water, and how many people have you seen touching birds in the trees?

Cheng Ru no longer argued, at this time, smelling the fragrance of roasted quails, a few five or six-year-old children came, all of them were yellow and thin, and only the whites of the two eyes could be clearly seen on their dark faces, looking at Jiang Lili and Cheng Ru pitifully, and then glanced at the roasted quail on the fire, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely.

It has not yet been explained, but it can be clearly understood.

Jiang Lili was very annoyed by this kind of look, picked up a burning firewood from the ground and waved it at the children, "Get out!"

The flames on the tip of the firewood made a loud "snort" sound, the children were startled, and retreated again and again, and a little girl with an unstable center of gravity staggered and fell to the ground, pursed her lips aggrievedly, looking like she was about to cry.

"What are you doing competing with a few children?" Cheng Ru was anxious, and hurriedly took Jiang Lili's hand

He snatched the firewood and put it back into the fire, turned his head to look at the children and smiled, "Don't be afraid, that brother is playing a game with you!"

Jiang Lili pursed his lips, glanced at Cheng Ru with disdain, ignored him, turned his head and continued to fiddle with the roasted quail on the fire.

Cheng Ru picked up the little girl, squinted her eyes and made a grimace, made the little girl laugh, and then handed the steamed bun in her hand to the little girl.

As soon as his hand was stretched out, the steamed bun was snatched away by the little boys standing next to him, and Cheng Ru couldn't react.

The little boys ran away with steamed buns in their arms.

Jiang Lili sneered, "Do you see it?" do you really think they can be grateful to you?"

Cheng Ru muttered back: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can figure it out, they have been hungry for too long, and they must be anxious at this time." ”

Jiang Lili snorted coldly.

After the little boys ran away, Cheng Ru rummaged through his package, took out a few sheets of air-dried dough from inside, tore off half of them and handed them to the little girl in his arms.

The little girl hurriedly snatched it up, hurriedly put it in her mouth and gnawed it indiscriminately.

Cheng Ru smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, eat slowly, eat slowly." Have. ”

It's just that it didn't take long to hear very dense footsteps behind him, and Jiang Lili frowned slightly.

Sure enough, a large number of children, both men and women, and even dozens of old people on crutches rushed here.

Cheng Ru was stunned for a moment.

"Sir, give me something to eat. ”

"Please, my lord, give me something to eat. ”

"Adult, adult~"

A childish voice sounded, a pair of eyes full of longing lit up, and Cheng Ru hurriedly responded: "Okay, good, good, don't worry." ”

Fang Cairu had just taken out a few pieces of dough from his package and was snatched up in an instant, and when he was about to open the package, Jiang Lili said coldly: "These foods are your food these days, if you finish all of them, you will wait to starve to death!"

Cheng Ru sneered, "How can it be? There are many more, it's a big deal that I eat less." Anyway, I spent a lot of hungry days when I was a child, and I could survive it. ”

Jiang Lili no longer paid attention to Cheng Ruyi, but just stared at the so-called poor people with extreme disgust, turned his head and continued to fiddle with the roasted quail in his hand.

Cheng Ru took out dozens of dough cakes from the package, and took out more than a dozen white-flour steamed buns, one by one, and handed them to all the dark and rugged hands that stretched out, "Don't worry, there is, there is!"

After Cheng Ru finished delivering the grain, he opened his package again, but found that his dough had been exhausted, and there were only five or six white-flour steamed buns left.

"Get out!" Jiang Lili knew what Cheng Ru was thinking, and scolded without looking back: "Don't beat my idea, I'm not like you, I didn't go hungry when I was a child, I can't stand it!"

Cheng Ru pulled out a smile very reluctantly, gritted his teeth, and sent out all the remaining steamed buns, thinking that it was a big deal to catch two fish in the river in the next time, and he wouldn't starve to death anyway.

Watching the group of people holding steamed buns and taking the dough cake and munching on it, Cheng Ru had a heartfelt smile on his face.

Fool, Jiang Lili scolded Cheng Ru in his heart, took out some seasoning from the package and sprinkled it on the roasted quail

, the fragrance will come out, causing those victims to salivate, and then look at the bread and steamed buns in their hands.

Jiang Lili blew the quail, and was about to tear off a piece of meat from it when she suddenly heard a childish voice, it was a girl, she said timidly, "Mother, I want to eat barbecue." ”

As soon as the words fell, I only saw dozens of pairs of eyes staring at Cheng Ruyi.

Jiang Lili frowned.

Cheng Ru looked at Jiang Lili's gloomy face and knew that Jiang Lili was not in a good mood, so he looked at the dozens of pairs of eyes again, and said to Jiang Lili hard: "Jiang Lili, look, child, you just tear off a piece of meat... ”

"Get out!" Jiang Lili's tone was steady.

Cheng Ru was dumbfounded, turned his head helplessly to look at the victims, and was silently brewing words in his heart, when a resigned woman pleaded in a low voice: "Adult, children are greedy. We haven't tasted meat in over a year, so give your child a piece of meat foam to try. ”

Jiang Lili tore off a piece of meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, "Get out." ”

"Adult~"

Jiang Lili turned his face sideways to look at the woman who spoke, "Get out!"

"Why are you like this? I thought you were a righteous man, but I didn't expect you to be an iron man with no sympathy!" an old man shouted with a dough cake.

Cheng Ru knew Jiang Lili's temperament, for fear that he would be annoyed and kill people, so he hurriedly comforted: "Don't talk about it, it's nothing more than just roasting quails all the time, and I'll teach you how to catch fish in the river later, so that you can have fish to eat." ”

Jiang Lili sneered, turned his head to look at the old man and teased, "You want to say it again?"

Cheng Ru hurriedly grabbed Jiang Lili's sleeve and glanced at the old man.

But the old man didn't speak again, and another woman with a sour face said loudly: "What? Don't you want people to tell me? Do you think a piece of bread and a steamed bun can fill your stomach? I saw that there was still food in your package, but you refused to take it out! What are you not an iron man?!"

It's just this woman who thanks her one by one, and the kindness of one adult will never be repaid, and now she has such a face!

Jiang Lili only felt very funny, and turned her head to look at Cheng Rus, "Tell me, is it their own reason?"

Cheng Ru had nothing to say.

Jiang Lili threw the roasted quail in his hand into the dirt, and trampled it into meat puree, then he stretched out his hand and pulled out the tiger knife on his waist and swung it at the woman!

Then I saw a long streak of blood on the woman's face.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then held her face and wailed loudly, shouting as she ran, "Murder, murder, robbers!"

The crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

Jiang Lili sneered, unwilling to stay here longer, and turned his head to look at Cheng Rus, who was like a wooden chicken, "Get in the car, it's nothing to look at, it's just normal, I've seen a lot." ”

Cheng Ru got into the carriage in a daze, and looked back blankly at the scattered crowd gathered together to snatch the quail that had been trampled into flesh, mixed feelings, he always couldn't figure out why the Buddhist scriptures said that the Bodhisattva was all grateful and praised when he crossed the world.

It turns out that what the Buddhist scriptures say is not necessarily true, the book is only a few pages thick, and it is impossible to write all about this huge world.

No wonder the extreme realm of Confucianism is called a journey of ten thousand miles, and Cheng thinks so.
