[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, March 25, Mao Shi, Chang'an City Liquanfang, near Wangxian Tower]

On this day, the clouds are light and the wind is light, the sky is high and refreshing, and Chang'an City has experienced a fresh and moving scenery after experiencing a spring rain last night.

Under the moisture of the rain, the camphor trees and willow trees on both sides of the road have urged new shoots, and the tender green sprouts are like messengers of spring, coming with cheerful steps, loudly announcing the arrival of spring. The wild flowers and grasses that grew in the corners exuded a lush fragrance, and the rain between the flowers and leaves stayed there for a long time. Wherever the rain goes, the grass and trees grow vigorously, the flower buds bloom quietly, and there is a beautiful spring everywhere, even in the Weishui tributary that flows through Chang'an City, it seems to flow with a breath of joy......

At this moment, in Liquanfang, Chang'an City, Yao Zibei was slowly walking home with a vegetable basket. Somehow, her mood today is quite refreshing, maybe it was a spring rain last night, which made her heart extraordinarily happy, and maybe it was because she had been bored in her chest for many days, and today she suddenly relaxed a little. Therefore, she got up early this morning, and without waiting to wake up Hu Yiyi, she carried the vegetable basket by herself and went to the vegetable market in the north of the city to buy vegetables.

At Yao Zibei's feet, the neat bluestone pavement has been swept extremely clean, and she moved her legs briskly and walked lightly near Liquanfang. Although her basket was full of greens, amaranth, tofu, dried bamboo shoots, strips of meat, beef and other things, she still felt very calm in her hand. She only felt that this big city, where she had lived for more than two months, was now full of joy.

Yao Zibei walked on the neat road, sometimes she breathed in the fresh air after the rain, and sometimes happily looked at the crowd around her. Occasionally, passers-by smiled and nodded at her, and she smiled and nodded in response, even though she had never seen that person.

This is really a city full of warmth, and Yao Zibei at this moment is full of feelings of home for the largest city in Shenzhou.

Although she grew up in southern Jiangsu since she was a child, and later moved to Xuchang, she has never come to Chang'an, however, since she lived in Xufu, although it was only two months, she also had an incomparable attachment to Chang'an City.

At this moment, Chang'an City is so vast, so prosperous, so warm, so calm, and so moving......

Every street and alley is filled with the laughter of passers-by, every small river is full of cheerful fish, and every flower and tree is spewing the breath of spring.

At this time, the sun was rising, and a touch of golden sunlight slowly shone on Yao Zibei's body, illuminating her warmly and feeling extremely comfortable. The golden sunlight also shone on the small trees beside him, on the black tiles of the roof, and on the water beside the road, illuminating the city, which was more warm and calm......

Pedestrians who got up early saw a round of rising sun overhead, and many people couldn't help but stop and look up, praising the beauty of the rising sun, however, Yao Zibei had no intention of enjoying the scenery, she thought in her heart, in two moments, Brother Xu would have to get up and go to Tsing Yi Wei on duty, she had to hurry home and make Brother Xu's breakfast.

Yao Zibei strode back with a vegetable basket and walked to the door of Wangxian Tower, but he heard a beggar begging passers-by:

"Big brother and sister, uncle and aunt, please do well, have mercy on me blind, give me a bite to eat! I haven't eaten for three days......"

Yao Zibei heard the cry very sadly, and felt that the voice was vaguely familiar, so she followed the voice, only to see a ragged, unkempt beggar, lying at the gate of Wangxian Tower, his feet were crippled, and he could only use his hands to support the ground to move forward, at this time, the beggar was raising his blind face, pleading with passers-by.

"Zhao Xiaogang!" Yao Zibei approached slightly, and immediately recognized the beggar in front of him, who was Zhao Xiaogang, the son of Zhao Yong, the squire of the military department that day.

Poor this squire's only son, who used to be a man with clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth, but now he is a beggar with crippled feet and blind eyes, he lies in front of the door of the restaurant, kowtowing to passers-by vigorously, just hoping that someone will throw him half a cold steamed bun. Wanshulou

After recognizing that the person in front of him was Zhao Xiaogang, Yao Zibei couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

The past is vivid, how can there be a day to forget!

It was this Zhao Xiaogang who stripped her of her clothes in Wang Xiping's "hoard" that day, and beat her with a whip, until she screamed in pain and almost fainted. It was also this Zhao Xiaogang that caused her to be imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and was sentenced to a summary sentence by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and almost fell to the ground on the execution ground.

Now, this Zhao Xiaogang is clearly lying in front of her eyes, pleading and begging at her feet, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes today, she wouldn't have believed that this Zhao Xiaogang would have ended up in this step!

It's really unbelievable that creation makes people......

Everything is just fate, and all living beings, in the eyes of God, are just like ants, and can only be at the mercy of fate.

"Uncle and aunt, all living bodhisattvas! Please do well, have mercy on me as a blind man! Just give me a steamed bun, and I will kowtow to you!"

Zhao Xiaogang was still lying in front of Yao Zibei's eyes, kowtowing and begging.

Yao Zibei reached into her arms and took out all the silver taels she was carrying from her pocket. She usually doesn't bring much money when she goes out, and she only brought a few pieces of broken silver to buy vegetables today. She threw the two taels of silver into a broken bowl in Zhao Xiaogang's hand.

Zhao Xiaogang heard the sound of "boom" in the broken bowl, and hurriedly reached out to take out Yao Zibei's two taels of broken silver. After all, he used to be a big man, how could he not know the money in his hand? Zhao Xiaogang was overjoyed when he saw that someone had given him such a large sum of money in one go. He had been begging in Chang'an City for two months, and he had never seen such a "bold" passer-by? He was busy in the direction of Yao Zibei, kept kowtowing, and kept thanking him:

"Thank you for this master, thank you for this master, the master is really a living Bodhisattva, the little one kowtows to you!"

"It's nothing, you go there and buy a few steamed buns to eat!" Yao Zibei pointed to the northeast, twenty steps away from here, there is a steamed bun shop, if you go to buy at this time, the steamed buns are freshly cooked.

However, Yao Zibei forgot that Zhao Xiaogang at this time, where could he still see the direction of her fingers? His two eyes were already empty.

Yao Zibei sighed, shook his head, and turned away.

Zhao Xiaogang heard that the person who gave alms was a woman, and hurriedly kowtowed in the direction where Yao Zibei left, and said repeatedly: "Thank you to this female Bodhisattva! Thank you to this female Bodhisattva! The female Bodhisattva is very kind, and the little one will never forget! The female Bodhisattva's grace to live, and the small knot of grass and the ring, will be repaid in the next life!"

Since the death of both his parents, Zhao Xiaogang has been begging everywhere in Chang'an City. The tendons of both of his feet have been broken by Kang Youren, and he is blind, so he can only get some leftovers, just stealing his life. In just two months, for him, it can be described as a hardship in the world. He listened to Yao Zibei's words, as if he was a little familiar, but he couldn't guess that the "female Bodhisattva" in front of him was Yao Zibei who was beaten by him that day.

At this time, if he was taught to regain his sight and recognize the woman who gave him alms, it was the woman who blinded him in his left eye that day, I really don't know what Zhao Xiaogang would think in his heart......
