The six hundred and forty-first chapter, the way of life

When did I become so superior? I actually feel that Qianniu is not worthy of her flower, and I have to find a family of aristocratic families for her.

Early in the morning, Huahua's mother took people back to her hometown.

But she was not here to stop Huahua and Qianniu, she was here to bless them. In addition, she also brought money to help the village get rich and make the villagers live a better life.

Huahua finally married Qianniu as she wished, which was what grandma promised Qianniu.

When the villagers met, they still made fun of Huahua: "Oh, I'm married to Qianniu. You girl is so satisfied. When will you give birth to a little Qianniu for us?"

When I was a child, Lu Ran lived in a dirt wall house in his hometown. At that time, many neighbors sat under a vine tree in front of their house after dinner and chatted, but as they were talking, some old people would tell some ghost stories, which always made us feel fascinated and memorable.

Grandpa Lu Zhang likes to tell stories very much and tells them vividly. Once he told everyone a ghost story, saying that it was his own experience.

When Grandpa Lu was young, one day he worked in the mountains with his colleagues. He had a lot of work that day. In order to complete the work tasks, he worked overtime until the evening.

When the water was finished and his stomach was so hungry that he rushed, he and his colleagues rushed to go home for dinner.

It usually takes about two quarters of an hour to go down the mountain. Although it is dark and you are walking slower, it is not enough to walk for an hour before you go down the mountain, and there are no one nearby.

His coworker asked, "Why are we blocking the way when we meet a ghost?"

Grandpa Lu is not a superstitious person. He doesn't believe in the sayings of ghosts and gods, so he smiled and said, "How is that possible? Are we taking the wrong path?"

"Impossible, you and I walk on this road every day, and you know how to walk with your eyes closed. Look, we have been walking for nearly an hour and haven't gone down the mountain yet, which is a bit abnormal." Grandpa Lu's co-worker analyzed.

Grandpa Lu didn't say anything after hearing this, and asked his colleagues to continue walking with him, saying that he would definitely go down the mountain anyway.

As I walked, I saw lights on a small hill in front of me. It turned out to be a shed made of white cloth, and I could hear the sound of someone talking.

After seeing the shed, the coworker began to mutter: "Old Lu, we go every day. When have you ever seen a shed on the road?"

Grandpa Lu replied: "Maybe it was built today? What about working on the mountain like us? Stop thinking about it, go!"

When I walked to the outside of the shed, I saw two middle-aged men gambling inside, with some food and wine jars on the table.

The gambling man saw Grandpa Lu and his two people coming, and greeted them: "Master, are you off work so late?"

Grandpa Lu smiled and said, "Yes, there are more tasks today, so I did it a little late."

One of the men asked again: "Have you not eaten yet? If you don't eat, we still have some food and wine here. Let's have some food. If you don't eat today, it will be useless tomorrow."

Grandpa Lu and his coworkers looked at each other, and both agreed, so they walked into the shed.

Seeing them gambling, Grandpa Lu’s coworker asked, “How can you two bet?”

A man replied: "It's very simple. If you lose ten times, you will give me a coin. If you don't have to give birth, you will only have to make do with me."

The coworker asked again: "By the way, how do you go down the mountain here? We both seemed to have taken the wrong path and haven't gone down the mountain for a long time. When we got here, we saw you."

The man smiled strangely and said, "We have just arrived. It's dark now, and I don't know how to leave. It doesn't matter, we have beds and quilts here. You can have some food and drink some wine. After that, we will bet on luck and sleep here for one night. Just continue to work tomorrow morning."

Grandpa Lu and his coworkers were so hungry that they ate and drank first. The wine was so strong that they became a little bit over the top. At the strong invitation of the two men, they also participated in the gambling game.

For some reason, in the bet that night, Grandpa Lu and his coworkers were very lucky, and each one went smoothly, and they also won a lot of money.

The two men have been losing money, but they have no intention of feeling sorry for money at all. So Grandpa Lu said, "It's late at night, and we have won a lot. It's not easy for you to make money. Let's return some to you, take a break earlier, and you will have to work tomorrow."

A man said, "It's okay, we are not afraid of losing. Look at how much money we bring." After that, he shook the thick bag of money from his pocket in front of Grandpa Lu.

At this time, Grandpa Lu smelled a burned smoke and asked, "Is there any fire there? There is a smell!"

The man who dumped the money was stunned and put the money back in his pocket and said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, keep gambling."

Seeing this, the coworker also spoke sarcasticly: "Someone wants to give money today, but there is no way, so let's continue."

Grandpa Lu and his two continued to win money. It was almost Yin time and it was dawn in a while and they were about to propose to go to bed.

The two men spoke first: "No more fights, you two are so lucky, you are going to bed."

So the four of them went to sleep in the shed. Grandpa Lu and his colleagues won the money again because they drank alcohol and became happy and immediately fell asleep.

Not long after, the rooster crowed and it was dawn.

Grandpa Lu was awakened by the cold. He heard the rooster crowing, his eyes opened slightly, and he saw that it was getting up when dawn, rubbed his eyes and got up.

At this moment, Grandpa Lu was so scared that his face was pale by the scene in front of him, and he didn't even dare to breathe for a moment.

It turned out that I was sleeping in front of two graves, with wine jars and knife meat in front of the grave, and two lanterns hanging on the grave pile. The same is true in front of the other grave, but there was a long gambling table.

Grandpa Lu woke up the coworker. When he woke up, he was stunned. He quickly touched the money he won by playing cards in his pocket. When he found it, he found it all was dark paper.

There was once a young thousand-mile horse waiting for those who admire him to discover it.

The businessman came and said, "Would you like to go with me? I will take you all over the famous mountains and rivers!"

The horse shook his head and said, "I am a thousand-mile horse. How could I carry goods for a merchant?"

The soldier came and said, "Would you like to go with me? I'll take you on the battlefield!"

The horse shook his head and said, "I am a Qianlima, how can I serve an ordinary soldier?"

The hunter came and said, "Would you like to follow me? I will take you to the harsh environment of survival in the wild!"

The horse shook his head and said, "I am a Qianlima, how could I be a hunter's coolie?"

Day after day, year after year, the horse has never found the ideal opportunity.

One day, the monarch's messenger was ordered to come to the people to find a thousand-mile horse.

Qianlima found the messenger and said, "I am the Qianlima you are looking for!"

The messenger asked: "Then are you familiar with the route of our country?"

The horse shook his head.

The messenger asked again: "Then you have been on the battlefield and have any combat experience?" The horse shook his head.

The messenger continued to ask, "Then are you good at survival in the wild?" The horse shook his head.

The messenger finally said, "Then what's the use of me wanting you?"

The horse said, "I can travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred miles a day."

The messenger asked it to run for a while.

Because he had been pampering for too long, although Qianlima ran forward with great force, he ran for only a few steps and was panting and sweating profusely.

"You are old, no!" After the messenger said that, he turned around and left.

Every seemingly ordinary effort that people make is to accumulate energy for their future, and every unhappiness and rejection experienced today is to lay the foundation for the future.

Don’t wait until you get old and can’t run and regret it!

Only by keeping the lowest point of life is the real master

It is probably good to walk to a higher place.

The Book of Changes says: Do not use the hidden dragon; do not use it; there is regret for the arrogant dragon. It can be seen that no matter who is at the beginning of a career or who has achieved something, you must restrain yourself and keep a low profile. Committing to a low position is a unique skill for Chinese people to deal with the world.

"The earth becomes the sea, and the man becomes the king." Keeping the low point of life is a kind of purity and restraint, a steady attitude that must be corrected in life, a humble speech that must be suppressed, and a style of dealing with the world that must be calmed down.

Committing to a low position is to hide your edge and keep your sloppy.

Since ancient times, although the road to fame and fortune has been full of traps, it is still bustling with people.

The high ground of fame and fortune has created endless prosperity and excitement, and countless tragedies.

Being cautious at a low level is the safest. The more proud you are, the more you should lower your posture and work diligently.

Committing to the low point is the wisdom to keep a low profile and a way to achieve great things. Humility at the low point is the most beneficial. You don’t talk big or be self-righteous, and you will always get unexpected gains when speaking in a consultative tone.

Some people think they are self-righteous and like to be teachers. However, they do not know how to ask others for advice with a humble attitude, draw on other people's wisdom, and gain inspiration and guidance from it, so as to form their own opinions.

In fact, there are scenery at high places and scenery at low places. People who are good at operating at low places can often reach the heights of life in the end.

Low-key is the state of self-cultivation and character cultivation. Being a low-key person also means that you must throw away some things, such as a sense of identity, superiority, honor, glory, etc.

Being low-key is not about suppressing one's own desires, but about naturally cultivating one's character. "If the path is narrow, leave one step to walk with others; if the taste is strong, reduce three points for others to taste." Being able to think about others, take the overall situation into consideration, cooperate and win-win, and go further, so that you can have a mind that transcends desires and is indifferent to fame and fortune.

Only in this way can one see a higher level of life.

People who can keep low places are never pleasing to you, but rely on their own honest labor. They understand that only by being calm and calm can they go further.

Those who can keep the low places are gentle and quiet, just like the earth, always put themselves at low places, but no one denies its vastness; those who can keep the low places are restrained and implicit, just like the sea, always put themselves at low places, but no one denies its depth.

Without pressure, water will not flow to high places; without ethics, people will not walk to low places.

In the complex world where material desires are paramount, those who can keep the low place are the most rare scenery. (To be continued)
