How to solve problems when practicing the Tao

Chapter 4

Crossing a mountain from the small wooden house by the sea is Xianxia Town.

Qin Xiaoying came to Xianxia Town.

He lived here until he was 7 years old.

For this place, he has many good and bad memories.

Seeing that he was young and sick, he was afraid that he would die in the house, so the Yizhuang in Xianxia Town did not accept him.

Living on the streets is not easy.

When you are hungry, go to alms for some food.

If you are sleepy, find a dog hole or the foot of the wall to sleep overnight.

When you are thirsty, go to drink the river water and take a bath by the way.

It is cold in winter and the twelfth lunar month is the most likely to freeze to death beggars.

He stayed overnight in the tea house outside the teahouse. The tea house is three to four meters high and built with local methods, and people can hide inside.

Qin Xiaoying slept in the ashes all night.

"Don't turn off the stove when you sleep at night, be careful I'll come back and beat you up!" Dr. Cha's tone was hard, but his heart was not hard.This little beggar has no home, so he risked losing his job and lent Qin Xiaoying the tea house for one night.

The next day, he swept up the ashes of other people's stoves before going to beg for food.

Sometimes the year is not good, there is a last meal but there is no next meal, it is not that the grass roots and bark have not been eaten.

When he is hungry, he listens to books.

What I like to listen to the most are the legends of Su Moxu, Sword God Breaking the Immortal Formation and other story books.

Some storytellers not only sound good when they talk about books, but also teach them a lot of truths.

Many people here have helped him.

Uncle Wang in the east of the town once gave him a white flour steamed bun. He slept with the steamed bun for two nights before he was willing to eat it.

Aunt Tian in the southwest of the town would give him some rags from home every month for him to patch his clothes.

He kept all these kindnesses in his heart.

Being bullied by the evil boys in the north of the town, being chased and bitten by stray dogs on the street, and pecking at the buttocks by the big geese by the river, of course he remembered these things, but he couldn't hate them.

Because they don't deserve a place in their memory.

Aunt Yun said that people always like to remember those warm and beautiful things.

For example, those children in Yizhuang, they once gave him some food.

He still remembered the girl named Yanran.

Secretly gave him an egg.

That was the first time he ate eggs. It was salty and sweet, but it was delicious.

Those who have helped him not only gave him goodwill, but also gave Qin Xiaoying an additional perspective on the world.

He is very grateful to Aunt Yun for making him not so lonely and his life not so gloomy.

Aunt Yun is of course a ray of light in his life, and those who helped him and bullied him are the reason why he became Qin Xiaoying.

In the past five years, Aunt Yun did not allow him to step into Xianxia Town.

So as soon as Aunt Yun left, the desire to repay her kindness became stronger.

After repaying his favor, he entered the arena again.

If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have waited for the moment when I met Aunt Yun.

He doesn't have much money now, but luckily he has 8 spirit stones.

A spirit stone is worth a hundred gold, and if it is exchanged on the black market, it may only be around eighty gold.

For Qin Xiaoying, it was enough.

He was wearing white clothes with a layer of black gauze on the outside. The clothes were called Bai Chan Yi, because the clothes were as thin as a cicada's wings and had a fairy air. Non-family disciples would never have the financial resources to afford them.

He went to the black market for a hundred gold.

I rented an ox cart, then went to the noodle shop, bought 10 catties of flour for [-] gold, and asked the owner of the noodle shop to sift the fine flour three times, leaving only [-] catties of fine flour.

The so-called fine flour means that it needs to be sieved twice more than ordinary flour.And this was sifted three times, and the taste of this noodle was almost perfect.

He went to the butcher shop again, selected ten cows, and each cow had the parts on both sides of the spine, cut off the meat, and got twenty catties of top-quality beef.

He went to the pastry shop again and bought all the pastries.

Go to the girl's shop and buy some girls' favorite gadgets.

He drove a bullock cart from door to door to deliver.

First go to Uncle Wang's house.

Uncle Wang's head has turned gray and his teeth have fallen out.His son and daughter-in-law thought he was old, so they drove him to live in the woodshed.

The old man's son and daughter-in-law, seeing Qin Xiaoying's extraordinary clothes and conversation, hurriedly invited him into the house.

Qin Xiaoying ignored them, but picked up the meat and noodles and came to the woodshed.

When Uncle Wang saw Qin Xiaoying, he couldn't recognize Qin Xiaoying.

"It's me, Uncle Wang. I'm Qin Xiaoying." Qin Xiaoying didn't dislike the mess of the woodshed at all, and sat on the floor, chatting with Uncle Wang.

"Qin Xiaoying?" The person that Uncle Wang saw in his eyes was gradually connected with the figure from the past. "Are you still alive?" Uncle Wang coughed, "After that year, you suddenly disappeared. We all thought you were dead, and we didn't even see a corpse."

"I paid homage to an expert and went to practice martial arts." Qin Xiaoying said with a smile.

"I see, you are a blessed child." Uncle Wang also smiled. "It's like these two useless things, without any filial piety, drove me to this woodshed..."

Qin Xiaoying quickly stopped Uncle Wang, not because he didn't want to meddle in other people's family affairs, but because he was afraid that after he left, his son and daughter-in-law would snatch the meat and noodles: "Uncle Wang, you keep these noodles and meat for eating." , if I am still alive, I will visit you every year. As for your son and daughter-in-law..."

"Come here." Qin Xiaoying's eyes turned cold, and his aura suddenly dissipated.

The son and daughter-in-law were all outside the firewood room, and when they heard Qin Xiaoying calling them, they hurriedly came to him, nodding and bowing.

Qin Xiaoying sighed in his heart: "I have no father or mother since I was a child. I want to honor their elders and I don't know where to do it. How about you, drive the old people to live in the firewood house? Is the firewood house a place where people can live?"

The son was said to be the center of the matter, and his face was red, but the wife there was savage and savage, and said with her hands on her hips: "This old man has long been unable to work in the field, and he has to eat half an adult's meal every day. We didn't drive him to the street. It is already filial."

Hearing this, Uncle Wang was heartbroken and cursed with his fingers, "You beast!"

"I don't care what happened to you in the past. Uncle Wang once had a favor with me, so I come here to repay the favor. I will deposit some silver taels in the bank, and send it to Uncle Wang every month. This is money for Uncle Wang's retirement. .”

Uncle Wang's son heard about the money: "Give the money to us, we will keep it for him..."

Qin Xiaoying sneered and said, "I've given you the money. I'm afraid it won't reach Uncle Wang. I'll say hello to the manager of the bank and ask him to hire a maid for Uncle Wang to serve him every month. The two of you If you treat him badly, the treasurer of the bank will report to the officials. In our Xianxia town, disfilial piety is a felony, whether it is folk customs or official laws! But if you can serve Uncle Wang wholeheartedly, you will also have money every month. I’ll give you some. That’s it, go and vacate the house, vacate the house you live in, and let Uncle Wang live in.”

Qin Xiaoying wrapped a catty of meat in cloth and held it in his hands, then kneaded the meat into a puree.Uncle Wang has no teeth, so these minced meat can be made into minced meat for him.

Uncle Wang's son and daughter-in-law were a little dumbfounded.When had they seen such a ruthless person.

"My father lives in my house, where do we live?" The son was a little dumbfounded.

"I just saw that the north house you live in has good sunlight and ventilation, and is suitable for the elderly. Don't you have a west house left? Why don't you move the firewood house?" Qin Xiaoying didn't look at them both.

"Uncle Wang, you can live here at ease. If your son and daughter-in-law treat you badly, I will ask the officials to arrest them." Qin Xiaoying turned to look at Uncle Wang, and said in relief.

"Okay, good boy. You are such a good boy who remembers the kindness of others, you deserve to be blessed." Uncle Wang had tears in his eyes, and let others remember his kindness as a steamed bun.I have raised my son all my life, but he is so ruthless... In my heart, I suddenly don't know what it feels like.

Qin Xiaoying's lips moved, but he still didn't say that he had a short lifespan.

Some things, you still have to carry them yourself.

"Uncle Wang, I'm leaving." Qin Xiaoying pulled the ox cart and continued towards Aunt Tian's house.

　Recommend, collect and bring.
