Chapter 180: A Dutiful Son Doesn’t Change His Mind
"Don't you have eyes? Get out of here!" A angrily shout interrupted Lin Yu's reverie.
Looking at the sound, Fairy Chi Lian shouted angrily at a ragged little beggar.
Lin Yu glanced at the little beggar, his face changed slightly, then he stood up gently and walked over.
When Fairy Chi Lian saw Lin Yu coming, she glared at him fiercely and left with an angry look on her face.
Lin Yu helped the little beggar up and whispered: "Little brother, are you okay?"
The little beggar's steamed bun showed a pair of pitiful eyes under his fluffy and dirty hair. He had almost no blood on his face, and he shook his head weakly and said, "Thank you, I'm fine, I'm just three."
I haven't had dinner all day and night..."
When he said this, he suddenly thumped down and begged with a cry, "Mr., please pity me, give me some food. Even a few steamed buns are fine. I'll starve to death
I don't ask for it, but my poor mother is so old that she is still sick, and she hasn't eaten for three days and three nights."
Those who heard the words of the little beggar were moved, and some great people were still secretly wiping their tears. Lin Yu felt a little ashamed at this time, only one door was separated, and there were so many foods outside that were not filled and his clothes were not covered.
, I am always worried about the next meal, but I am really not supposed to enjoy the delicious food and delicacies here.
Lin Yu greeted the shopkeeper, took a roast chicken and handed it to the little beggar.
Before Lin Yu could speak, he saw the little beggar looking at the roast chicken with his eyes wide open, and from time to time he swallowed his saliva into his stomach.
But after he took the roast chicken, he did not eat it voraciously as ordinary people imagined, but wrapped it neatly and held it tightly in his hand. Then he showed a pale smile and looked at Lin Yu.
He said, "Mr. Can you give me a few more steamed buns?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Lin Yu's black eyes, and pointed at the roast chicken and asked, "Isn't this roast chicken enough for you to eat?"
Before Lin Yu could finish his words, the little beggar shook his head vigorously and said, "No, it's just that my mother lives so big and hasn't eaten such delicious roast chicken. I want to take it back and give it to my mother for her to eat.
, I want steamed buns to eat by myself."
Lin Yu's eyes became slightly wet and said, "Even if you let go of your stomach, there is not enough. I will ask the shopkeeper to prepare for the old lady's portion later."
The little beggar was filled with joy and asked hurriedly: "Really?"
Lin Yu nodded slightly and said, "Really, you can eat with your stomach!"
When he said this, Lin Yu asked the shopkeeper to prepare a few roast chickens and steamed buns for the little beggar, and asked him for a pot of tea to prevent him from choking when he was eaten voraciously.
After watching the little beggar eat the whole roast chicken voraciously, Lin Yu handed the tea and said, "Don't choke, drink some tea to help digestion."
The little beggar didn't even have to say thank you, so he tilted his neck and started drinking.
When he had almost drunk, Lin Yu asked, "Little brother, your accent doesn't look like it's local. Where did you come from?"
The little beggar wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeves and said, "I came from Henan. I originally wanted to come to Xicheng to join a distant relative, but which relative just gave us a few copper coins.
We drove out..."
After hearing the little beggar's words, Lin Yu's expression was slightly angry and asked, "Didn't the court have allocated 1.5 million taels of disaster relief silver? Why are there so many disaster victims who have fled their hometown?"
The little beggar shook his head and said helplessly: "The court allocated disaster relief silver, but it was not one million.5 million taels, but fifty thousand taels. The officers and soldiers made the rice soup made in the porridge shed, a big pot of rice soup.
The soup is only a few dozen grains of rice, and the clear ones can be seen in a mirror, and it will not be released after only three days. If it weren’t for the fact that there was no way, who would want to leave his hometown and live a life that is worse than a dog.”
Lin Yu clenched his fists angrily and said in his heart: Damn, damn, these parents and officials openly embezzled the life-saving money of the victims, and even took away as much as 90% of them. It is really hateful.
After thinking of this, Lin Yu took out another ingot of silver from his body and handed it to the little beggar, saying, "I'll ask your mother for this little silver and get some medicine."
After receiving the silver, the little beggar took the silver and thanked him for a lot of gratitude, he hugged the big fat roast and the silver that Lin Yu prepared for him tightly, just like a baby with a ten-generation single birth, very satisfied.
After leaving, he murmured from time to time: "I really met a living Bodhisattva. Now my mother is saved."
Looking at the little beggar's distant figure, Lin Yu's mood could be calm for a long time. He couldn't understand whether these things outside of him would be brought with him or not in life or death. Those officials who studied the books of sages hard, could it be
Don’t you understand this principle? Did they forget all the ways of governing the country by Confucius’s benevolence and rituals?
Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, sighed a long time, and returned to his seat. However, at this time, facing the delicious wine and delicacies on the table, he could no longer be interested.
.
Looking at Lin Yu's face full of sorrow, Liu Ziqing blinked her big watery eyes and asked in confusion: "Stingy, what's wrong with you? Why are you sad? Are you worried?"
Lin Yu sighed again and said, "It's nothing, I just saw the people in the disaster area fleeing here, and I couldn't help but feel moved."
Ximen Piaoxue smiled sadly and said, "Brother Lin's chivalrous heart is really admirable. However, seven or eight out of ten things that are not satisfactory in life are the destiny of heaven, and it is not manpower to do it. Why should Brother Lin be sad about it?
Woolen cloth?"
Lin Yu's expression changed slightly, and he smiled Qingran and said, "Brother Ximen is right. I am a mediocre person who disturbs me. I punish myself for a cup. I will do it first." After that, he raised his neck slightly and put it in the cup.
All the wine is in your stomach.
Ximen Piaoxue smiled indifferently and asked, "I wonder where Brother Lin is going next?"
Lin Yu thought for a moment, smiled and shook his head, and said, "This is not accurate at the moment. Maybe he will go back to Huashan, maybe he will go directly to the Yellow River disaster area, or maybe he will stay here. In short, it is possible!
”
Before Ximen Piaoxue could ask again, Lin Yu snatched the words and asked, "I don't know what Brother Ximen wants?"
Ximen Piaoxue drank a glass of wine and replied: "I was ordered by my father to come to participate in the Huashan Sword Contest, but I didn't expect that I would encounter so many changes. I have been away from home for many days and plan to go home to see it soon.
look."
Lin Yu looked slightly stunned and asked, "Oh, now the court and the Central Plains martial arts world have become reconciled, and the martial arts world conference is about to be held. Don't Brother Ximen want to join in the fun?"
Ximen Piaoxue shook her head gently and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, you are a smart person, so you naturally know the reason, so why bother asking this more?"
Lin Yu gently slapped a glass of wine and replied with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Ximen is the same as I think. I will punish myself for another cup."
Ximen Piaoxue smiled and shook her head, saying, "Since you want to punish me, how can you do it with a glass of wine?"
Lin Yu asked with a smile: "With Brother Ximen's intention, how many cups are required to be fined?"
Ximen Piaoxue stretched out three fingers and smiled gloomyly: "At least three cups!"
Lin Yu responded very readily and said, "Okay, just as Brother Ximen wants to punish yourself for three cups."
The conversation between Lin Yu and Ximen Piaoxue was a little confused except Afeng. Yan Yun was just a little confused. Yan Yun had just arrived and knew that the characters in front of him were not something he could provoke.
I didn't dare to ask too much, just bury my head and drink.
But Liu Ziqing is different. Before Lin Yu finished drinking three glasses of wine, she pouted her pink mouth and asked, "Bitch, what are you talking about? I can't understand it anymore?
”
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Brother Ximen and I will talk about the world more. If you don't understand it, it's natural."
Liu Ziqing pouted, gave Lin Yu a blank look, pretending to be angry and said, "What's wrong with the girl's house? Who was that person? When you were here, you and Ximen Piaoxue seemed to be very afraid of her."
Lin Yu always thought that Liu Ziqing was a fool who didn't know anything, but she didn't expect that she had observed so carefully just now. Although she was not really afraid of the fairy Chi Lian, she was more or less unwilling to deal with her.
What's more, she and her master have now joined Dongchang.
However, as for why Ximen Piaoxue, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, is so afraid of the Chi Lian Fairy, Lin Yu doesn't know. However, judging from the expressions and eyes of the two of them just now, Lin Yu can guess some reasons.
At least today's wine was by no means accidental. It is very likely that the two of them arranged in advance.
"Rich thief, why don't you talk anymore? Did I get it right and have nothing to say?" Liu Ziqing asked naughtyly with her big watery eyes blinking from the side.
Lin Yu and Ximen Piaoxue looked at each other awkwardly. They didn't know how to answer. Afeng next to him felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked Yan Yun: "Brother Yan Yun, your sister has been sent.
When you go to Mount Emei to practice martial arts, you like to go around the world so much, why don’t your father let you learn from your master?”
Yan Yun scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "My father originally planned to let me get a fame and honor, and I was a member of the Guang family, but I was stupid in my qualifications. I took the exam three times in a row and failed the exam."
Lin Yu suddenly took the conversation and asked, "Do you want to go around the world like your sister?"
Yan Yun was suddenly shocked when asked. After a while, he nodded quickly and said, "Of course I thought about it. I am not afraid of you laughing at me when I say it. I dreamed that if one day, I would be like my sister, and be a big shot.
Hero, make a splash in the world."
After saying this, he scratched his head again and asked Lin Yu in confusion: "Brother Lin, weren't you still opposed letting me go around the world just now? Why did you change your mind now?"
