In his original intention, he wanted to talk to Zhang Heng, asking Zhang Heng to do more work for the family, but it was unreasonable to eat and drink for free.
As a result, the two met face to face.
Hua's father opened his mouth several times, but he was too embarrassed to say anything. Finally he said: "Uncle is resting. Oh, rest. I'm going to work."
afternoon.
Hua's father came back from work.
Mother Hua quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master, have you told your uncle?"
Father Hua lowered his head and smoked: "Let's talk about it in a few days."
Mother Hua stamped her feet angrily.
Three days in a row.
Zhang Heng eats, sleeps and does nothing every day.
Day four.
The eldest and second eldest children came over. After hearing about Zhang Heng's habit of eating and being lazy, they snorted coldly: "I really invited an ancestor back."
Say it.
Never came again.
Half a month passed in a flash.
The weather is getting colder and winter is approaching.
Zhang Heng still goes his own way.
The Hua family was full of complaints. Even Hua Rou's brother and younger brother couldn't help complaining: "Father, mother, we are growing tall. When my uncle comes, we won't have enough to eat at all."
Mother Hua cried as soon as she said this: "Our family's life is already difficult, and here comes another freeloader. The food for five people now has to be served for six people. The food we calculated will not last until the spring."
Father Hua's head was pounded by crying, and he said in a deep voice: "Winter is coming soon. No matter how hard it is, we have to get through this year. Otherwise, how can my uncle survive outside in the coldest month of winter?"
Mother Hua is soft-hearted after all.
Thinking of driving Zhang Heng away, he might freeze to death outside in this cold weather, so he hesitated and said, "We can't do this when spring comes."
In a flash, it’s half a month again.
It has been a month since Zhang Heng came to Hua's house.
There are snowflakes falling outside and the weather is very cold.
In the entire Liu Family Fort, Hua Laosan and his family became a joke.
Who doesn't know now that there is a lazy and greedy uncle in Hua Laosan's house. He only eats and drinks all day long and doesn't even bother to sweep the snow in front of the door.
Zhang Heng listened but ignored.
If you want to be prominent in front of others, you have to suffer behind others.
I can endure this unbearable endurance.
Then you can enjoy that rare blessing.
There is a law for everything, nothing more than this.
"Uncle, I'm back."
noon.
Hua Rou, who disappeared all morning, returned with two rabbits.
Entering the yard, he first said hello to Zhang Heng, and then shouted: "Mother, I have trapped two hares in the trap. I will stew one at noon to replenish my uncle's health."
Mother Hua heard this.
At the same time, I am happy that my daughter is capable and can bring back game every now and then to supplement the family income.
On the other side, there was also some complaint in his heart: "This damn girl, every mouthful is like an uncle, she screams quite happily."
"Girl Rou, isn't she young?"
Zhang Heng sat in the yard, huddled on a chair.
"You're not young anymore. You'll be sixteen during the Chinese New Year."
Hua's mother said with a look of embarrassment on her face: "I've had several dates with her this year, but none of them were successful. One of them was even scared away."
Hua Rou had smallpox when she was a child.
Although the smallpox was cured, the face was pockmarked.
In addition, the Hua family is not a wealthy family and cannot afford many gifts, so the wedding will be delayed.
Otherwise, if she was left in the countryside, she would be betrothed at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
"It's not too small."
Zhang Heng replied and began to fall asleep again.
certainly.
He was not really sleeping, but was preaching in his dream.
Just saying that.
This girl Hua Rou is indeed a little weird.
When nothing happens, I like to watch him from the sidelines.
His eyes glowed green.
For those who didn’t know, I thought it was a cat demon.
Just saying something.
This child is a filial child, but it is a pity that he was born ugly.
Looking at her, Zhang Heng didn't want to eat, even though he didn't need to eat.
"Lets see."
Zhang Heng is an immortal.
If you live ten thousand years, you are not in a hurry to do things.
So he decided to test the Hua family for a few more months and wait until next spring.
Although he also knows.
An old relative who had not moved around for many years came to seek refuge.
It's delicious, lazy, and sloppy, and any normal person would find it disgusting.
But he has to test it.
It's not whether the Hua family dislikes him or not, but whether they will drive him away in the cold winter months.
Dislike is instinct, driving away is choice.
If they can hold on to the last trace of kindness and tolerate him for a few months without driving him away, they will be considered to have passed this test.
If you don't even have this kind of kindness.
For example, Hua Laoda and Hua Lao Er.
It means that they are not qualified to inherit the Fengling Sect's orthodoxy, so they should just be mortals.
A few more days.
The snow has stopped and the weather has warmed up a bit.
Hua Rou started going out early in the morning again and stayed there for the whole day.
Every time she comes back, she brings back various harvests.
Zhang Heng found that she knew a lot.
Can make bows and arrows and animal traps by himself.
She can catch rabbits, deer, roe deer, and all kinds of small animals.
He can also cut through the ice and catch fish from the frozen river.
She can identify mushrooms, medicinal materials, and find wild vegetables, and her cooking skills are also good. Her cooking skills are much better than Hua's mother.
These are all craftsmanship.
It's a big deal for an ordinary country boy to know the same thing.
The rich and powerful dare not say that they will never starve to death if they live on the mountain.
Hua Rou knows many things, she is really a treasure girl.
Moreover, Zhang Heng discovered that no one had taught her this at all. She seemed to have learned it after standing aside and watching for a while, asking a few questions.
What a magical Magu.
"Uncle, uncle..."
One afternoon.
Zhang Heng had just had lunch and was about to lie down in the yard to practice dreaming, when Hua Rou came back happily.
"came back."
Zhang Heng looked up.
I saw her holding her hands in her arms as if she were carrying some treasure: "What treasure is this hiding?"
"Uncle, look..."
Hua Rou ran to Zhang Heng and took out her hand like a treasure.
Zhang Heng took a look and saw that it was actually a ginseng.
Judging from the appearance of the ginseng, it seems that it has been heated for about thirty to fifty years. Although it cannot be called a precious ginseng, it is rare in the ordinary market and can be sold for a high price.
"You are a lucky one."
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "The treasures of heaven and earth are not available to ordinary people. If you don't have the chance, you can't see it when you walk by it, just like your eyes are covered."
Hua Rou said happily: "It's all thanks to my ancestor's blessing. Since my uncle came to my house, I have caught more prey than usual. I found ginseng again today. How could I be so lucky just by myself?"
Everyone likes to hear good things.
Zhang Heng saw Hua Rou's performance in his eyes and couldn't help but think to himself: "The child is a good child, has a filial heart, is smart, and learns things quickly, but he looks like this..."
Hua Rou doesn't look good.
It's okay to be an ordinary disciple, but it's not enough to inherit the same lineage of law.
Zhang Heng is not a member of the Appearance Association.
But things like appearance can really affect a person's achievements to a large extent.
Take the Luotian Dajiao as an example.
If you ask the gods to send you true spirits, no one will bother to pay attention to you.
Offer incense to the ancestor.
It can frighten the ancestor and make him not want to eat the incense.
This is also the reason why all sects and sects are basically handsome men and beautiful women. No matter how bad they are, they are ordinary people and there is no reason to be ugly.
If you are ugly, you will naturally have no chance of being immortal.
Even to overcome the tribulation.
When the people above saw it, they thought this guy was so ugly. No matter how hard the brothers tried, they couldn't turn him into an immortal.
So you can imagine.
Throughout the ages, those who have become immortals and attained Taoism have basically never been ugly.
Even if it's Zhong Kui and Tieguai Li.
Zhong Kui is fierce, loyal, filial and unparalleled.
Where is Tieguai Li?
He wasn't ugly at first, but he suffered a disaster along the way.
When not being robbed.
Tieguai Li's name is Li Xuan, he is the registered disciple of Taishang Laojun, and he is also born with extraordinary appearance.
So when it comes to selecting Hua Rou as the inheritor of the Taoist tradition.
Zhang Hengxin was worried.
He was also worried that when he arrived in the Earthly Immortal Realm and met the Jade Ax Patriarch, the Jade Ax Patriarch would complain to him: "Why are you so pockmarked? You really have no choice?"
"granduncle..."
Hua Rou didn't know that she was disliked because of her appearance.
Still lively, he said to Zhang Heng: "I don't want to tell my family about ginseng for the time being. What do you think?"
"Why?"
Zhang Heng asked rhetorically.
Hua Rou replied: "Although our Liujia Fort is not big, it is not too small either. But there is not even a grocery store in the fort. To buy anything, you have to go to the town ten miles away."
I thought that it would be great to open a grocery store in the fort and set up two large pots at the door to sell some soup noodles and cooking cakes. Although I didn't sell ginseng, I would be more secure by buying a few acres of land.
But fields can only make people full, not rich.
A small business is also a business.
If you do it well, you will naturally make more money than digging in the ground.
And you can start with a small business and gradually expand it.
Village grocery store and noodle soup pot.
It may not be possible to turn it into shops and restaurants in the city."
Listen to each sentence.
After listening, Zhang Heng couldn't help but praise: "It's a good idea. No matter how small a grocery store is, it is still a business. It is different from farming. As long as we stabilize this business, it will not only change our destiny, but it will also enrich our lives."
The world of spiritual practice is not as good as imagined, and not everyone can adapt to it.
In Zhang Heng's mind, it is impossible for all the Hua family to join the Fengling Sect. Those who cannot adapt would be better off staying in the secular world and starting a small business.
So exercising now has only advantages and no disadvantages.
There is a way to make a living without worries, and those who go to the spiritual world don't have to worry too much about their families.
"Uncle, I am still young. If I go to sell ginseng, I will easily be deceived by the drugstore in the town. Besides, it is still ten miles from Liujiabao to the town. This way..."
Hua Rou looked embarrassed.
Hearing this, Zhang Heng also felt unsafe, nodded and said: "Uncle, I will go with you."
Got outside.
I met the second daughter-in-law who was delivering pickles.
Seeing Zhang Heng and Hua Rou coming out, the second daughter-in-law made a long sound and said sarcastically: "Isn't this old uncle? Why are you out today?"
Zhang Heng ignored her.
She would cry when he showed his true identity and took the children of the Hua family to immortality.
"Ancestor, many people say they have seen immortals. Have you seen them?"
On the road.
Hua Rou asked curiously.
"Immortal..."
Zhang Heng answered casually: "I've seen it."
Hua Rou couldn't help but ask: "What is an immortal like?
"This is it."
Zhang Heng was silent for a while and replied: "They are a group of people who can do almost anything they want. It's very scary."
Immortals are cultivated by humans.
Humans have desires, and so do immortals, but not everyone practices the path of ruthlessness.
So in Zhang Heng's opinion.
Immortals who do whatever they want are more terrifying than the tyrants in history.
There are people who can control tyrants, but who can immortals rely on to check and balance them?
Heaven?
In fact, heaven is busier than you think.
Take Zhang Heng as an example, if he creates chaos in the true world, devours living beings, and enriches the dream world.
A man who eats a city a day.
If he eats like this for hundreds of years, there is no guarantee that God will take him from the lower world.
Even if I take it, what will happen?
After three hundred years of imprisonment, if you say something wrong, it will be fine if you turn back.
In the past, the three demons of Shituoling were causing chaos in the lower realm.
Even the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were devoured by a hundred thousand people. Is there anyone to pursue the case... No.
True.
Zhang Heng is not the Three Demons of Shituoling.
But ordinary people are not heavenly soldiers or generals.
Some immortals keep themselves clean and discipline themselves.
However, some immortals, especially those who are about to reach the end of their lives and whose life is not long, become crazy, often beyond imagination.
The Buddha has something to say.
In an instant, millions of worlds are born and millions of worlds are destroyed.
This birth and death is partly God's will and partly man-made.
Hard to say.
If Zhang Heng wants to.
Give him a certain amount of time, and he will be able to cover the whole world with the dream world.
All living beings arise and die in just one thought.
He can keep his true mind and not fill the dream world with the spirits of living beings.
Others, especially those who are stuck in the dream world and cannot extricate themselves, may not be able to see the emptiness of the dream world and remain unmoved.
Immortal.
Grace is like the sea, power is like prison.
All living beings should be respected and kept at a distance.
Not approachable.
