Chapter 180: Filial piety, unswerving

"Don't you have long eyes, hurry up and get out of my way!" An angry shout interrupted Lin Yu's reverie.

Looking for prestige, I saw the Chilian Fairy shouting angrily at a little beggar in rags.

Lin Yu glanced at the little beggar, his face changed slightly, and then he got up lightly and walked over.

Seeing Lin Yu coming, the Chilian Fairy glared at him fiercely, and left with a face full of anger.

Lin Yu helped the little beggar up and said softly, "Little brother, are you okay?"

Under the fluffy and dirty hair of the little beggar's steamed bun, a pair of pitiful eyes were revealed, and there was almost no bloodshot on his yellow and thin face, only to see him shake his head weakly, and said: "Thank you, uncle, I'm fine, it's just that I haven't eaten for three days and three nights......"

When he said this, he suddenly knelt down with a thud, and begged with a cry: "This uncle, you have pity on me, give me a little food, even if it is a few steamed buns, I starve to death and don't ask for it, but my poor mother is old, and her body is still sick, and she hasn't eaten for three days and three nights." ”

The little beggar's words were moved by everyone, and some good people were still secretly wiping their tears. Lin Yu felt a little ashamed at this time, only one door away, there were so many hungry and unclothed outside, and he was worried about the next meal all the time, but he was here to enjoy the delicious food and wine, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, it was really undeserved.

Lin Yu beckoned to the shopkeeper, took a roast chicken over, and handed it to the little beggar.

Before Lin Yu could speak, he saw the little beggar, looking at the roast chicken with fine eyes, and swallowing saliva into his stomach from time to time.

But after he took the roast chicken, he didn't gobble it up as ordinary people imagined, but wrapped it neatly and held it tightly in his hand. Then he showed a pale smile and said to Lin Yu: "This uncle, can you give me a few more steamed buns?"

A trace of puzzlement flashed in Lin Yu's black eyes, and he pointed to the roast chicken and asked, "Isn't this roast chicken enough for you to eat?"

Before Lin Yu's words fell, the little beggar shook his head vigorously and said, "No, it's just that my mother has lived so much, and I haven't eaten such fragrant roast chicken, I want to take it back to my mother to eat, I want to eat the steamed buns myself." ”

Lin Yu's eyes moistened slightly, and said, "Even if you let go of your belly to eat, it's not enough, the old lady's share, I'll let the shopkeeper prepare it in a while." ”

The little beggar was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Really?"

Lin Yu nodded slightly and said, "Really, you let go of your belly and eat!"

When he said this, Lin Yu beckoned the shopkeeper again, asked him to prepare a few more roast chickens and steamed buns for the little beggar, and asked him for a pot of tea by the way, in case he choked when he gobbled it up for a while.

After watching the little beggar gobble up the whole roast chicken, Lin Yu handed over the tea again and said, "Don't choke, drink some tea, it will help digestion." ”

The little beggar didn't even bother to say a word of xiexie, so he craned his neck and drank it.

When he was almost drunk, Lin Yu opened his mouth and asked, "Little brother, listening to your accent, it doesn't look like a local, where are you from?"

The little beggar wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeves and said, "I fled from Henan, and I originally wanted to come to Huaxi City to join a distant relative, but which relative just gave us a few copper plates and drove us out......

After listening to the little beggar's words, Lin Yu's expression was slightly angry, and he asked, "Didn't the imperial court already allocate one and a half million taels of disaster relief silver, why are there so many disaster victims fleeing their hometowns?"

The little beggar shook his head, and said helplessly: "The imperial court has allocated disaster relief silver, but it is not 1.5 million taels, but 150,000 taels, and the rice soup boiled by the officers and soldiers in the porridge shed, a big pot of soup, only dozens of rice grains, can be used as a mirror, and it is only sent for three days. ”

Lin Yu clenched his fists indignantly, and secretly said angrily in his heart: Damn, hateful, this group of parents and officials openly embezzled the life-saving money of the victims, and even directly took away as much as ninety percent, which is really hateful.

After thinking of this, Lin Yu took out another ingot of silver from his body, handed it to the little beggar, and said, "This bit of silver, I will ask your mother to have a doctor, and then grab some medicine." ”

The little beggar took the silver, and after thanking him a thousand times, he tightly hugged the big fat burn and the ingot of silver that Lin Yu prepared for him, as if he was carrying a baby who had been passed down for ten lifetimes, and left with great satisfaction, and muttered to himself from time to time: "I really met a living Bodhisattva, and now my mother is saved." ”

Looking at the figure of the little beggar in the distance, Lin Yu's mood could calm down for a long time, he couldn't understand that for these things outside the body, if they don't bring them in life or in death, don't those officials who have studied the books of the sages and sages understand this truth?

Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, and after a long sigh, he returned to his seat. However, at this time, in the face of the delicious wine and delicacies on the table, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, he could no longer arouse the slightest interest.

Looking at Lin Yu's sad face, Liu Ziqing blinked her big watery eyes, and asked a little puzzled: "Yin thief, what's wrong with you, why are you sad, do you have something on your mind?"

Lin Yu let out a long sigh and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I just saw the people in the disaster area fleeing here, and I can't help but feel emotional." ”

Ximen Piaoxue smiled and said: "Brother Lin's chivalrous heart is really admirable to the younger brother, but life is unsatisfactory, seven or eight times out of ten, this is the destiny of heaven, not human, why should Brother Lin frown about it?"

Lin Yu's expression changed slightly, and he smiled clearly: "Brother Ximen is right, it is my junior brother who disturbs me, I will punish myself with a cup, and I will do it first as respect." After speaking, he craned his neck slightly and poured the wine in his stomach into his stomach.

Ximen Piaoxue smiled indifferently and asked, "I don't know where Brother Lin wants to go next?"

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's still uncertain, maybe I will go back to Huashan, maybe I will go directly to the Yellow River disaster area, or maybe I will stay here, in short, it's possible!"

Without waiting for Ximen Piaoxue to ask again, Lin Yu grabbed the words and asked, "I don't know Brother Ximen, what do you want?"

Ximen Piaoxue drank a glass of wine and responded: "I was ordered by my father to come to participate in the Huashan Sword Debate, but I didn't expect to encounter so many changes. I have been away from home for many days now, and I plan to return home soon. ”

Lin Yu's expression was slightly stunned, and he asked: "Oh, now that the imperial court and the Central Plains martial arts have become a trend of reconciliation, and the martial arts conference is about to be held, doesn't Brother Ximen want to join in the fun?"

Ximen Piaoxue shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, you are a smart person, you naturally know the reason for this, so why bother asking?"

Lin Yu lightly took a glass of wine and replied with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Simon is the same as I thought, and the younger brother will punish himself with another glass." ”

Ximen Piaoxue shook his head with a smile and said, "Since you have to be punished, how can you have a glass of wine?"

Lin Yu smiled and asked, "Then with Brother Ximen's intentions, how many cups do you need to be punished?"

Ximen Piaoxue stretched out three fingers and said with a gloomy smile: "At least three cups!"

Lin Yu responded very happily and said, "Okay, just take Brother Simon's intentions and punish yourself with three cups." ”

The conversation between Lin Yu and Ximen Piaoxue, except for Ah Feng, Liu Ziqing and Yan Yun were confused, Yan Yun had just arrived, and knew that the few characters in front of him were not something he could provoke, so he didn't dare to ask more, just buried his head in drinking.

But Liu Ziqing was different, Lin Yu's three glasses of wine hadn't finished yet, she pouted and asked, "Yin thief, what are you talking about, I don't understand it again?"

Lin Yuwan smiled and said, "I'll talk to Brother Ximen about the rivers and lakes again, you girl can't understand it, that's natural." ”

Liu Ziqing pouted, glanced at Lin Yu again, and pretended to be angry: "What's wrong with the girl's family, who was it just now, when you were here, you and Ximen Piaoxue seemed to be very jealous of her." ”

Lin Yu always thought that Liu Ziqing was a stupid girl who didn't know anything, but she didn't expect that she would observe so carefully just now, although she was not really afraid of that Chilian fairy, but she was more or less reluctant to deal with her, not to mention that she and her master had now defected to Dongchang.

However, as for Ximen Piaoxue, who has always been arrogant, why he is so jealous of the Chilian Fairy, Lin Yu doesn't know, but judging from the expressions and eyes of the two of them just now, Lin Yu can also guess some reasons, at least today's meal is not accidental, it is very likely that the two of them arranged haode in advance.

"Yin thief, why don't you speak, are you being said by me, you have nothing to say?" Liu Ziqing asked mischievously with big watery eyes on the side.

Lin Yu and Ximen Piaoxue glanced at each other a little embarrassed, neither of them knew how to respond, Ah Feng next to him felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly asked Yan Yun: "Brother Yanyun, your sister was sent to Mount Emei to practice martial arts, you like to explore the rivers and lakes so much, why didn't your father let you go to learn art?"

Yan Yun scratched his head very embarrassed, and said: "My father originally planned to let me take the exam with all his heart, and the glory of the family, but my junior brother was stupid, and I took the exam three times in a row, and I failed the list." ”

Lin Yu suddenly took over and asked, "Then do you want to be like your sister and wander the rivers and lakes?"

Yan Yun was suddenly taken aback by the question, and after a while, he hurriedly nodded, and said: "Of course I think about it, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I dream that if one day, I will be like my sister, be a hero, and make a splash on the rivers and lakes." ”

After saying this, he scratched his head again, and asked Lin Yu puzzledly: "Brother Lin, didn't you still object to letting me wander the rivers and lakes just now, why did you change your mind now?"
