Chapter 406 Look at the various behaviors of all living beings
The date for alms at Qingpingguan has been posted for a long time and spread among the believers, so many poor beggars with thin clothes and sad faces came to the foot of the mountain early in the morning.
Of course, human nature is selfish, and some people who love to take advantage of others will also get involved, and when the time comes, they will step forward to fish in troubled waters.
This year, Qin Liuxi said hello to Yu Qiucai early and invited some city guards to help maintain order at the donation site to prevent the poor people who received the food from swarming up and causing a stampede.
At the second quarter of the hour, the bell of Qingpingguan rang, and people at the foot of the mountain began to line up the poor and beggars, while the Taoist priests and believers on the mountain came out one after another, carrying porridge, soup and steamed buns down the mountain.
Seeing this scene, the waiting poor people began to get excited. Some of them had been hungry for a long time and had been waiting in the cold wind for so long. They were already cold and hungry. The younger children were even crying.
He stood up and was coaxed by the warm voices of the people around him.
The poor people queuing up were divided into several lines. The Taoist priests and believers laid out their things and without waiting for anything, they started to give away porridge and steamed buns.
Some people were holding porridge containers, all of which were old or even broken earthenware pots and broken bowls. When they saw it started, they pushed the people in front of them to rush forward. Some people were pushed and cursed.
"Don't crowd. Anyone who crowds will be kicked out of the team and will not be allowed to take the lead." A city guard armed with a long stick shouted loudly: "If you are squeezed, no one will get good food."
As soon as he shouted, the people in line stopped pushing and shoving.
As a result, the person at the front got a large spoon of medicinal porridge and a thick steamed bun first.
The porridge is whole grain porridge, made with stomach-warming millet and some medicinal materials. Compared with refined grain white porridge, it is easier to feel full.
If it were Qin Liuxi, Taoist charity, regardless of whether it looks good or not, the most important thing is to fill the stomach and let more people get meals, so the ingredients are coarse grains and noodles, and the price is cheap, so more ingredients can be exchanged.
Someone got the medicinal porridge and steamed buns and immediately squatted on the ground and ate them hungrily.
Some people got it, just took a small taste, then hid the steamed bun in their heart and ran away in a hurry, maybe to give the food to more important people.
"This year's porridge is thicker than last year's. It's really delicious, and the steamed buns are also bigger." Someone said happily.
"Yes, after taking this sip, your whole body will feel warm."
"Eat quickly, I will have to drink ginger soup later. I heard that ginger soup also has medicinal herbs added to it."
"Qingpingguan must have become so popular that it would be so generous."
"Then I hope that the ancestor will bless it and it will always be so prosperous, the most prosperous in the world, so that we will always have such a good meal."
"But I still hope that my ancestor will bless me and I can earn more wages so that I don't have to come here to receive meals next year."
After some people heard this, their swallowing speed also slowed down. This is reasonable. How can you live long if you rely on charity from others? If your backers fall, you will always have to rely on yourself.
If you earn money, you don't need to use it to receive charity food.
"Eat quickly. After eating, I will go up and kowtow to the ancestor."
"Wait for me."
Qin Liuxi didn't know when he had brought his two young apprentices down the mountain. After listening to these words from a distance, he walked away and moved to another place.
"It's a charity. A bowl of porridge and a steamed bun are not enough for me to stuff between my teeth, and it's not generous." A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, a pointed head and a narrow forehead complained in disgust.
"That's right, it's still thick noodles, which makes your stomach ache. The wealthy officials in the city use thin noodles when they give porridge and steamed buns." Another person agreed, but his swallowing speed was not slow at all.
After Wangchuan heard this, she was so angry that her little fists clenched. If Qin Liuxi hadn't pulled her, she would have rushed over to argue.
Teng Zhao glanced at the two of them coldly.
"You pick up the bowl to eat and put the bowl down to scold me. You are so disgusted. Why don't you wait for the rich officials to give you porridge? It's really hard for you two to come here and compete with us for these coarse food!"
Not far away, there was a man with a stern face but wearing patches holding a broken bowl and a steamed bun in his hand, staring at the two and scolding them.
"Who are you scolding when you criticize mulberry trees and pagoda trees? Are you eating your own rice?"
"The ones I'm scolding are you ignorant and conscienceless bastards. Why, you want to fight?" The man's eyes were fierce and he said loudly: "Qingpingguan gives alms and does good deeds every year. In any year, the porridge is not coarse grain, but it is more filling than polished rice.
There are too many, and a lot of medicinal materials have been added this year. Drinking one bowl will make your body warm. Do you think you are too fond of it?"
"That's right, if you have something to eat and can't stop your mouths, why don't you go to heaven!"
"Yes, as a human being, you don't want to be like this. It will damage your moral character."
"Grandmaster is afraid that he will hold back a bolt of lightning and strike them."
Seeing that more and more people were joining in the accusations, the two men cursed and ran away in despair.
"You see, justice is in the heart of the people." Qin Liuxi said with a smile to his two apprentices.
Wangchuan whispered: "I thought Master would teach them a lesson."
"Learning skills makes you better and stronger. Having a skill is not to use it to bully the weak. Like this, if the other party is just quick to talk and teach them a lesson, that would be too flattering to them, too.
It's over." Qin Liuxi said: "The so-called insatiable desires are talking about people like that just now, and this is also human nature. Among all living beings, not everyone will be as grateful as the few we heard just now.
Some people take it for granted and are also very picky and greedy.”
"Although it sounds uncomfortable, when you give and do good deeds, you don't do good deeds just because you want to get a good reputation. You really want to help those in need, rather than caring about temporary gains and losses. This is the original intention of doing good deeds. Let's get back to it.
Those two people, look at their faces, how can they be peaceful and kind-hearted people? They are both shameless people who love to take advantage of others and cheat. How many of these people have a good ending? There is no need to be dirty.
In our hands, with their temperament, it will be a matter of time before we are unlucky."
The two of them thought about the face of the man just now, thoughtfully.
Qin Liuxi rubbed the heads of the two of them and said: "Although the way of heaven is sometimes supportive, the way of heaven is supreme. People are doing it, and heaven is watching. It knows it well."
Wangchuan asked innocently: "What if it suddenly loses its mind?"
Qin Liuxi replied without thinking: "That means it fell asleep."
"Does Heavenly Dao also sleep?"
"Otherwise, why would God not open his eyes and say something?"
"What Master said makes sense."
Teng Zhao: "..."
He really dares to ask and answer.
He looked up to the sky, and there were dark clouds gathering in the sky. He didn't know whether they were accumulating snow or thunder.
"Give me, what kind of steamed buns can a little girl eat? It's against you!"
"Master, please return this steamed bun to me. My daughter is very hungry."
"If she dies, her life will be cheap. If she dies, a loser will die."
Several people looked around and saw a man in shabby clothes holding a steamed bun in his hand and stuffing it into his mouth. He didn't forget to kick the greasy-headed woman who was holding his legs.
Qin Liuxi's face turned cold, and he walked over in three steps and two steps at a time. With a clever move, he pinched the man's arm and gently pulled him away and threw him to the ground.
