The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 107 All Beings Are Equal (Two in One)

Just when Yinhu was leaning against the wall and thinking about something, the wind outside gradually increased. Since the hall door was open on both sides, the draft gradually changed from comfortable to cold. Yinhu, who had not fallen asleep, was the first to feel that something was wrong. After many days, is it finally going to rain?The rest of the people in the temple were fast asleep. For the victims, as long as the sky is not collapsing, it doesn't matter if the wind is stronger or weaker.

Soon, Yinhu's guess was confirmed, and the summer rain is always so exciting.All of a sudden, there was a strong wind, and the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves became louder and louder. People who had been sleeping outside the hall poured into the hall one after another, and suddenly there were noisy voices in the hall.Everyone was complaining about the terrible weather, and after finally taking a breath, it was raining again.

The two servants leaning on the door straightened up immediately, let the outsiders in and then closed the hall door.One sat down beside Yinzhen, and the other sat down in front of Yinhu, covering the two people inside with their backs.Yinhu closed his eyes again with peace of mind, Yinxiang next to him was sleeping like a child, his body had been completely put on the ground, his head was resting on Yinhu's legs, anyway, the fourth brother and the starling would support him when the sky fell, he No stress at all.

It was raining all the time, and from time to time there was a bright flash of lightning flashing in front of his eyes, Yinhu closed his eyes, and from time to time there were complaints or worries from the victims in his ears, thinking that his majestic prince would be forced by God one day In such a situation, this is a hardship he has never experienced before. He remembered the words of the old Taoist: "Others can live, why can't they live?"

Yinhu's heart tightened. This was the first time someone dared to compare himself with ordinary people. They and them, after removing all status and aura, had only one identity in the end, that is, they were all human beings. They are all citizens of the Qing Dynasty.

The rain outside made the people in the hall panic. How much weight would such a heavy rain add to the already severe flood?God didn't care about it, and took up the Yangtze River and poured it down.Yinhu listened to it, and his thoughts moved.

They didn't know that the rain that night caused the Suyang River embankment, which was already pierced with hundreds of holes, to collapse completely. The materials used to make the embankment were all exposed. Looking at the straw rags dug out, weeping loudly.This is the century-old plan to protect the safety of their lives and property, this is the big embankment on which they place all their hopes, and this is the entire reason for the government to levy miscellaneous taxes year after year!

The people in Suyang were completely angry. They deliberately kept these "tofu dregs projects" as they were, and waited for the "businessmen" from the capital to take a good look.
All of a sudden, the hardest-hit area, which originally spread the news of the catastrophe and great love, was replaced by scolding. The people gathered in the county government office and asked the county magistrate to give an explanation. Why is the dam repaired every year?Where did the maintenance funds allocated by the imperial court go?The moth of the country, the argument that the building will collapse began to be rampant.

Seeing this situation, the students of Yimen were even more furious, and the questioning letters fell like snowflakes on the desks of the governors of Liangjiang and Hedao.But there was no news, and there was no news.

Thus, Yimen thought of the "omnipotent" Babeile again.Minzhi in the capital is suffering, Yinhu is not here, and Dongzhuang keeps sending and receiving letters every day. It was fine before, praising the power of charity, why is it changing now?

Ok?Fake Jiangnan dams? ?Tofu dregs project?You told the Ministry of Household Industry and the Zuodu Yushi, what is it to come to me to file a complaint?Could it be that my place is the Letters and Visits Office of the Qing Dynasty?
Minzhi, who was in a dilemma, didn't know what to do, and had no one to discuss with. He could only say sorry silently, watching the letters pile up day by day, and praying that Kangxi's all-pervasive detective network would come in handy at this time. Intrigue.

However, this is not her fantasy. Kangxi has indeed obtained the fake embankment in Cao's house, the disaster victims made a big disturbance in the county government, and several letters from Yimen fell into the hands of his old man. Comrade Lao Kang's face is dull.That's right, I've been so occluded to such an extent that I don't know the amount of disaster relief money allocated every year, so much that I can't count it myself, and it's all digested by these "worms"!

I always want to protect the official voice, deal with corruption in a low-key manner, and keep turning a blind eye to the petty troubles below, and let go of what can be let go. Not only do you bastards not understand my painstaking efforts , and even worse, forcing the common people to have nowhere to go, and the officials to force the people to rebel, are you doing things for me or doing bad things for me!
This time, Yinzhen was out of luck, and Kangxi originally thought that the fourth son's methods were too drastic and unacceptable.After seeing such a shocking corruption case, I felt that the method of the fourth brother was straightforward and straightforward. These useless people should die in obscurity. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
Therefore, Kangxi acquiesced to Yinzhen's simple and rude approach. When he heard the news that they were going to Suyang County, he issued an order: local governments at all levels in the south of the Yangtze River should take comprehensive measures to deal with Yimen students. Attitude, the government and the people are united to fight against natural disasters.

As soon as this order came out, there was an uproar in the Jiangnan officialdom, and all the officials put on a bitter face: Your majesty, these scholars are so arrogant that they don’t know who their parents are without our support. Wouldn't it be even more lawless, walking horses in front of the Prince's Palace, and riding donkeys in the hall of the county government!

They didn't know that this was just the last supper left for them by the old man, and soon, a huge storm would make them all fall into Abi Hell.

Looking back, it rained heavily all night until dawn, but it was time for Yinhu and the others to go on their way.It was Yinhu's two Zhuang Ding who immediately prepared the washing utensils and sent them to Yinhu and others. It was just that the earlier thing made them difficult. All the dry food for the day has been distributed, but now they are in trouble, where can they get breakfast for the masters?

When he was hesitating, the door of the apse facing them opened, and a burst of cool water vapor rushed towards his face.Upon closer inspection, he turned out to be a little Taoist boy, wearing the same patched tattered Taoist robes as the old Taoist, with a double bun. His yellowish hair and short body showed that he was still a young child.

I saw him leaning the umbrella by the door, handing the basket on his arm to the two Zhuang Ding, and said childishly: "Here, Master and I went to the mountain to dig this one morning. The World Honored One asked me to dig it." Here, your breakfast!" Ji Rongshu also woke up at this moment, and saw Dao Tong approaching with a playful smile: "Xiao Mingyue, you went up the mountain with the Taoist priest so early, why didn't you call me?"

Mingyue looked at him with disgust: "You? Can you count on it? Every time I come here, I sleep like a pig! I don't want to talk to you!" Ji Rongshu rubbed his nose: "Hey... I'm just caught by you Once, how did it become every time?" Mingyue stopped looking at him, and snorted, "Master said, it will rain for a long time, if you are in a hurry, there is a coir raincoat in the stable, go and get it yourself Let's go!" After saying that, he turned around, took the umbrella and walked away without saying hello.

Ji Rongshu, who was despised, said embarrassedly: "Well, Mingyue is a disciple of the Taoist priest and an orphan adopted by the Taoist priest. She is young and ignorant. I hope everyone will not be offended."

Yinzhen's face was pale, and he couldn't hold back his airs after sitting quietly all night, so he snorted coldly and didn't speak.The two Zhuang Ding opened the box, and they were stunned when they had no hope for the white flour steamed buns and hot porridge. Inside were three hideous sweet potatoes.

The key point is that they are neither roasted nor baked, but raw sweet potatoes with fresh vines. I think of what Mingyue said, which was dug by his master early in the morning. The two Zhuang Dings are embarrassed.It's fine if you don't provide breakfast at all, and we won't bury anything. Now that you have sent these three things, how do you ask us to say hello in front of the master!
Yinzhen couldn't bear it anymore at this time, the cold noodle king had suffered from being useless all night, and now seeing three raw sweet potatoes, he couldn't hold back anymore: "Throw this thing away, let's go!" But he smiled awkwardly and said to Yinhu: "Master, this can actually be eaten raw, and it is... sweet. We also grow it in our village."

Yinxiang has no doubts about these two servants of starlings. They have been serving them food and drink in different ways along the way. It is a bit overwhelming to go on the road early in the morning on an empty stomach. When they heard that sweet potatoes can be eaten raw, Immediately believed: "Since you can eat it, let's eat it. Anyway, we have experienced all kinds of hardships along the way, and we have seen people eat dirt and die. It's just raw sweet potatoes. Don't let the old man look down upon you again! "

At this time, Ji Rongshu took this thirteen-year-old son with admiration. He was optimistic, straightforward, and straightforward. Sometimes he relied on his two older brothers like a big boy, but when making crucial decisions, he was always the first to speak. He acted openly and without delay. .This kind of character grows on the body of a royal elder brother, which really makes people feel a little respectful.In fact, he originally wanted to stand up and prove that sweet potatoes can be eaten raw, because he and his brothers have eaten them more than once.

With Yinhu's approval, the two Zhuang Ding took out a small knife from their bodies, and peeled off the skin of three sweet potatoes, revealing the reddish flesh, and nodded in satisfaction: "Master, the darker the color, eat The sweeter it tastes, you can eat it like an apple." He said and handed the sweet potato to Yinhu and Yinxiang.The last one was handed to Ji Rongshu: "Scholar, you can eat it." Ji Rongshu looked at Yinzhen, whose back was facing him, and rubbed it over with small steps: "This is really edible!"

Yinzhen didn't turn his head back: "I've given you a reward!" Ji Rongshu was breathless: Reward?Really kidding, this is dug up by an old Taoist priest, do you know how dangerous the barren mountain here is after it rains?Did you know that during the flooding period, the victims regarded sweet potatoes as pearls?What's your attitude!

The little scholar got angry, and the result of his anger was to imitate Yinzhen and snorted, took a big bite, and it was delicious.Yinxiang couldn't bear it, so he asked Zhuang Ding to borrow a knife and handed all his sweet potatoes to Yinzhen: "Brother, eat it. It's really sweet. It's not easy to get something to eat in the wilderness. We still have to hurry!"

Yinzhen gritted his teeth tightly and said nothing, Yinxiang had no choice but to wrap half of the sweet potato in something, put it in his own bag, and then smiled bitterly: "We really do as the Romans do, when potatoes are so precious Yes, if I knew this earlier, I should have brought a few cars with me back then."

Yinhu let out a long sigh, feeling a bit of bitterness in his heart. You thought up the private visit in Weifu, but now the three of them have fallen into such a situation, but you have put on airs. Money is hard to buy. If you knew it, if you knew it was like this, you should have listened to your wife back then. In other words, if you prepare enough to salute, you won't end up in such a mess.

When the three of them came out of Qiyun Temple, it was still raining, and the coir raincoats on their bodies had a musty smell. At this time, the princes had already lost their temper, wearing coir raincoats and leading horses, braved the rain in the forest. Mercedes on the trail.They didn't know that their every move was in the eyes of the old Taoist. At this time, he looked at the direction where the three horses were going away, and said to the disciples beside him: "Mingyue, who do you like the most among the three of them?"

Mingyue tilted her head: "Mmm... Master, the one Mingyue likes, it feels like everything is in his expectation, and he is calm and composed, and the two servants are also very good." There is a force of change that is sprouting, and if it can grow smoothly, this person will be the object of your allegiance in the future. Now, let's go back."

The little child looked into the distance: "Master, could it be him? You once said that Mingyue's future is..." The old man's clothes fluttered in the wind: "Just wait and see..."

In front, Yinhu and the other three galloped all the way, and they had already run for several miles, the surrounding scenery was submerged in the dense words, if it wasn't for Ji Rongshu leading the way, in this weather, they couldn't tell the difference between southeast and north.

After an unknown amount of time, Yinzhen, who was keeping his posture on the horse, suddenly fell headlong, and the guards beside him were stunned. During the shouting, several horses bumped into each other, and the bamboo hats and coir raincoats flew together.Yinhu and Yinxiang were also frightened. They were in the middle of the official road at this time, not going to the village or the village, and Yinzhen passed out suddenly. What should I do?
Fortunately, the guards shot in time, and Yinzhen was fixed on the horse without falling. At this time, even Yinhu had a problem: go forward?move back?Or stay where you are?Just at this dilemma, Ke An and Muren appeared.In fact, they have always been a little ahead of Yinhu and the others, scouting the way for them.When Yinhu stayed overnight at Qiyun Temple, they set up a temporary tent on the top of the mountain in front of them to rest.

At this moment, Ke An couldn't wait at the front and couldn't wait, Ke An was a little worried. He returned to the original road to look, but found that the large army was parked in the middle of the road. Semi-comatose.

Muren and Ke An glanced at each other, and stepped forward at the same time: "Master, the servants have medicine on their bodies, quickly settle down Sibeile, otherwise it will be bad if they get sick." Yinxiang's admiration for starlings is like The torrential river continued: "Brother, you are amazing!" Yinhu frowned: "In that case, hurry up and help."

Everyone protected Yinzhen under a thick tree. The huge canopy blocked most of the rainwater, and the ground was still dry.Yin Xiang stared dumbfounded as Ke An quickly cleared an open space, and then took out the tarpaulin and rope from the horse's salute.After all, he had stayed in the army, and when he saw these things, he realized it instantly, jumped off the horse and came to help, but saw Muren dodging and disappeared into the woods.

Not long after, Ke An's simple tent was set up, and there was actually a thick layer of leaves on the ground, and the leaves were covered with oilcloth, which was more than enough for two people to lie in.Yinxiang couldn't help sighing: "You all came here this way? Ke An's voice was crisp: "This is just a method. "

As soon as the words were finished, Muren came back with his followers, and only now did Yinzhen's guards show a look of shame.Muren took his followers to look for kindling and food.Yinhu and others helped Yinzhen into the tent, Yinhu frowned: "Are you going to decoct medicine here?"

Ke An shook his head: "Master, you don't need to decoct the medicine, just heat it up." Then, he took out a porcelain bottle from a rattan box on the horse: "Fu Jin asked the doctors to decoct a small amount of medicine early in the morning. I took it with me and used a lot for the victims along the way, and now there are only a few bottles left."

Everyone was stunned, including Yinhu himself: "When did she... prepare these?" Ke An smiled: "The doctors in Zhuangzi have been studying how to keep the decocted medicines effective for a long time. For two days in a row, Fujin sent a letter, asking us to decoct medicine overnight, and prepared various curative medicines, and asked the servants to carry them with them in case of emergencies."

Yinxiang looked at Yinhu with envy: "Brother, my brother really envies you..." Yinhu's eyes showed surprise and various inexplicable emotions: "Why didn't you tell me so many things?" Ke An said while lighting the fire: "Fu Jin said, these are trivial matters, and there is no need to report them. It's best if you can use them when you need them."

Due to the continuous rain, the branches that Muren picked up were all damp. Ke An failed to light the fire after several attempts.Over there, Muren has already cleaned up the shot sparrows and quails and put them on branches.Seeing that Ke An was in trouble, he reached out and took the fire knife and flint: "I'll do it."

I saw that he split the wet branches he picked up into strips with a Mongolian knife, tore a strip of cloth and tied it at one end, shook it vigorously a few times, and then folded the burning fire into it and stretched it out. The few sticks inside were smoking. At this time, there was already a pile of split wood sticks in front of him. Ke An beside him also understood, quickly split the branches into thin pieces, and put them on the ground in bundles. Roll and rub each other.

Soon the small fire turned into a big fire, and thick branches can be added at this time to burn.After the medicine was cured, Yinxiang fed Yinzhen himself. In fact, Yinzhen was only slightly cold and hungry. After taking the medicine and some meat, he recovered quickly.When he saw everything in front of him, the cold-faced king finally lowered his noble head, and said to Yinhu: "Thank you..."
