Chapter 404: Seeing the Various Forms of Life

The date of the charity at Qingping Temple had been posted long ago, and the news had been spread by believers, so many poor beggars with thin clothes and sad faces had already come to the foot of the mountain.

Of course, human nature is selfish, and some people who like to take advantage of small things will also mix in, and when the time comes, they will take advantage of the situation.

This year, Qin Liuxi greeted Yu Qiucai early and asked some city guards to help maintain order at the charity site to prevent the poor people who came to receive charity food from rushing up and causing trampling accidents.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, the bell of Qingping Temple rang, and people at the foot of the mountain began to let the poor beggars line up, while the Taoist priests and believers on the mountain came out in a line, carrying porridge soup and steamed buns down the mountain.

Seeing this scene, the poor people who were waiting began to get excited. Some of them had been hungry for a long time, and they had been waiting in this cold wind for so long, and they were already cold and hungry. The younger children even cried, and were coaxed by the people around them.

The poor people in line were divided into several teams. The Taoist priests and believers put out their things and started giving out porridge and steamed buns without waiting for anything.

Some people held containers for porridge, all of which were old or even broken earthenware jars and broken bowls. When they saw that it had started, they pushed the people in front of them to rush forward. Some people were pushed and cursed.

"Don't push. Whoever pushes will be kicked out of the team and will not be allowed to receive." A city guard with a long stick shouted loudly: "If you push down, no one will get the good food."

After this shout, the people in line really stopped pushing and pushing.

In this way, the person in the front got a large spoonful of medicinal porridge and a coarse flour steamed bun first.

The porridge is coarse grain porridge, which is made of millet that warms the stomach and some medicinal materials. It is easier to feel full than refined grain porridge.

In Qin Liuxi's words, the Taoist temple's donations don't care 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 all coarse grains and coarse flour. The low price can exchange for more ingredients.

Some people got the porridge and steamed buns, and immediately squatted on the ground and ate them voraciously.

Some people got them, but just took a small bite, then hid the steamed buns in their hearts and hurried away, perhaps 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 bigger." Someone said happily.

"Yes, this bite makes me warm."

"Eat quickly, I have to drink ginger soup later, and I heard that the ginger soup also adds medicinal materials."

"Qingping Temple must be prosperous, so it will be so generous."

"Then I hope the ancestors will bless it, it will always be so prosperous, the most prosperous in the world, so that we will always have such good meals."

"But I still hope that the ancestors will bless me, so that I can earn more wages, and I don't have to come to get meals next year."

Some people swallowed slower after hearing this. This makes sense. How can you rely on others' charity for a long time? If you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall. People still have to rely on themselves.

If you earn money, you don't need to collect charity food.

"Eat quickly, I'll go up and kowtow to the ancestor after you finish eating."

"Wait for me."

Qin Liuxi had brought his two little disciples down the mountain without knowing when. Hearing this from a distance, he walked away and changed to another place.

"It's called alms, but a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun are not enough for me to fill my teeth. You're not generous." A man with a pointed face and a narrow forehead complained with disdain.

"That's right, it's still coarse flour, which makes my stomach uncomfortable. The rich families and officials in the city use fine flour to give away porridge and steamed buns." Another person agreed, but the speed of swallowing was not slow at all.

Wangchuan was so angry that she clenched her fists. If Qin Liuxi hadn't pulled her, she would have rushed over to argue.

Teng Zhao glanced at the two coldly.

"Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl to curse, if you are so disgusted, why don't you wait for the porridge provided by the rich and powerful? It's really hard for you two to come here to compete with us for these coarse food!"

Not far away, a man with a stern face but patched clothes was holding a broken bowl and a steamed bun in his hand, staring at the two and cursing.

"Who are you scolding? Did you eat your rice?"

"I'm scolding you, you ungrateful and conscienceless bastards. What's the matter? Do you want to fight?" The man said with fierce eyes: "Qingping Temple donates and does charity every year. Every year, the porridge is coarse grains, but it is much more filling than refined rice. This year, a lot of medicinal materials are added. Drinking a bowl will warm your body. You still complain about it?"

"That's right. You can't stop your mouths even if you have food. Why don't you go to heaven!"

"Yes, you shouldn't be like this. You are ungrateful and you lose your virtue."

"The master is afraid that a thunderbolt will hit them."

The two saw more and more people joining the ranks of accusations. They cursed and ran away in disgrace.

"See, justice is in the hearts of the people." Qin Liuxi said to the two disciples with a smile.

Wangchuan whispered, "I thought the master would teach them a lesson."

"Learning skills is to make yourself better and stronger. Having a skill does not mean using it to bully the weak. In this case, the other party just showed a momentary verbal pleasure, and teaching them a lesson is too much of a compliment to them. It's too much." Qin Liuxi said, "The so-called insatiable desires refer to 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 will take it for granted and be picky and greedy."

"Although it sounds uncomfortable, giving and doing good deeds is not just because you want to get a good reputation. It is to really help people in need, rather than caring about temporary gains and losses. This is the original intention of doing good deeds. Let's talk about it again Those two people, look at their faces, don't you think they are peaceful and kind-hearted people? They are shameless people who like to take advantage of others and cheat. How many of these people have a good ending? With 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 Heaven is sometimes supportive of that, Heaven is the only one who knows what people are doing and Heaven is watching."

Wangchuan asked innocently: "What if it suddenly loses its mind?"

Qin Liuxi replied without thinking: "Then it must have fallen asleep."

"Does Heavenly Dao also sleep?"

"Otherwise, why would God not open his eyes and say something?"

"What Master said makes sense."

Teng Zhao: "..."

What a dare to ask and a dare to 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, she will die as a loser."

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.
