Chapter 404 Watching all living beings
The alms of the Qingping Temple has already been posted on the day, and it has been spread by believers, so many poor and beggars with thin clothes and sad faces came to the foot of the mountain early in the morning.
Of course, human nature is selfish, and some people who love to take advantage of small things will also get involved, and when the time comes, they will step forward to fish in troubled waters when they see the opportunity.
This year, Qin Liuxi greeted Yu Qiucai early on, and invited some city guards to help maintain order at the almsgiving site, so as to prevent poor people receiving good food from swarming up and causing stampede accidents.
At the second quarter of the hour, the bell of Qingpingguan rang, and people at the foot of the mountain began to let the poor and beggars line up, while the Taoist priests and believers on the mountain came out one after another, 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 after waiting in the cold wind for so long, they were already cold and hungry. The younger children even cried He got up, and was coaxed by the people around him again.
The poor people who lined up divided into several teams. The Taoist priests and believers arranged their things, and without waiting for anything, they directly began to give porridge and steamed buns.
Some people held porridge containers, all of which were old or even broken earthen pots and broken bowls. Seeing the beginning, they pushed the people in front to rush forward, and some people were pushed to curse.
"Don't squeeze, whoever squeezes will be kicked out of the team and won't give up." A city guard with a long stick shouted: "If you squeeze, everyone will not get good food."
With this shout, the people in line really stopped pushing.
In this way, the first one got a large spoonful of medicinal porridge and a thick noodle steamed bun.
Porridge is coarse grain porridge, which is made with stomach-warming millet and some medicinal materials. Compared with refined grain porridge, it is easier to feel full.
In the case of Qin Liuxi, the Taoist charity, regardless of 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 coarse grains and noodles, and the price can be exchanged for more ingredients.
Someone got the medicinal porridge and steamed buns, and immediately squatted on the ground, gobbling them up.
Someone also got it, just took a small bite, then hid the steamed bun in his heart, and ran away in a hurry, maybe 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, after taking this bite, I feel warm all over my body."
"Hurry up and eat. I have to drink **** soup later. I heard that **** soup also has medicinal herbs."
"Qingping Temple must have become more popular, so it is so generous."
"Then I hope the patriarch will bless it, it will always be so prosperous, the most prosperous in the world, so we will always have such a good meal."
"But I still hope that the patriarch will bless me, so that I can earn more wages, and I don't have to come to receive meals in the coming year."
Some people heard this, and their swallowing speed slowed down. This is reasonable. How can one rely on others for a long time?
If you earn money, you don’t need to use it to receive good food.
"Eat quickly, I will go up and kowtow to the patriarch after eating."
"Wait with me."
Qin Liuxi had brought his two young apprentices down the mountain at some point, and after hearing this from a distance, he walked away and changed another place.
"It's charity, a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun are not enough for me to fit between my teeth, and I'm not generous." A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, a pointed head and a narrow forehead complained in disgust.
"That's right, it's still rough noodles, and I feel very upset. Those wealthy households in the city give porridge and give steamed buns all use thin noodles." Another person echoed, but the speed of swallowing was not slow at all.
When Wang Chuan heard this, he was so angry that he clenched his fists. If Qin Liuxi hadn't pulled her, he might have rushed over to argue.
"Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother, you are so disgusted, why don't you wait for the porridge from the rich family's official family? Come here to fight with us for these rough food, it is really hard for you two uncles!"
Not far away, a man with a straight face but wearing a patch was holding a broken bowl and a steamed bun in his hand, staring at the two and scolding them.
"Who are you referring to as Sang and Huai? Have you eaten your rice?"
"It's you scolded **** who don't know what to do and who have no conscience, why do you want to fight?" The man looked fierce and said loudly: "Qingpingguan donates and does good every year. In which year porridge is not coarse grains, but it is more filling than polished rice?" It’s too much, and this year I added a lot of medicinal materials, drinking a bowl will warm your body, do you think it’s too much?”
"That's right, you can't stop your mouths if you have food, why don't you go to heaven!"
"Yeah, it's not good to be a human being like this, a white-eyed wolf, it's detrimental to morality."
"The patriarch is afraid that a thunderbolt will strike them."
Seeing that more and more people joined the ranks of accusations, the two cursed and ran away in despair.
"See, justice is at your fingertips." Qin Liuxi said to the two apprentices with a smile.
Wang Chuan whispered: "I thought Master would teach them a lesson."
"Learning skills is to make yourself better and stronger. You have a skill, but it doesn't mean you want to use it to bully the weak. Like this, if the other party just shows a quick tongue, and then they teach them, that would be too flattering to them, too. It's over." Qin Liuxi said: "The so-called insatiable desire is talking about people like just now, and this is also human nature. Not everyone will be grateful like the few we heard just now. Some people take it for granted and are picky and greedy."
"Although it sounds uncomfortable, but doing good deeds is not just because you want to get a good name. It is to really help people in need, not to care about temporary gains and losses. This is the original intention of doing good. Let’s talk about it again. Those two people, look at their faces, how can they be peaceful and kind people? They are all shameless people who love to take advantage of petty advantages and steal and play tricks. How many of these people will end well? Don't be dirty. Our hands, according to their temperament, will be unlucky sooner or later."
The two recalled the face of the man just now, thoughtfully.
Qin Liuxi rubbed the heads of the two of them, and said: "Although the way of heaven is sometimes supportive, but the way of heaven is fair, people are doing it, and the sky is watching. It knows it well."
Wang Chuan asked naively: "Then what if it suddenly doesn't know what to do?"
Qin Liuxi replied without thinking, "Then it must be asleep."
"Does Heaven also sleep?"
"Otherwise, why would God not open his eyes?"
"What Master said makes sense."
Teng Zhao: "..."
is really a dare to ask, a dare to answer.
He looked up to the sky, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and he didn't know whether it was snow or thunder.
"Give it to me, what kind of steamed buns does a little girl eat, it's against you!"
"Boss, give me back this steamed bun, my daughter is almost starving."
"She dies, her life is cheap, and a loser dies as soon as he dies."
Several people looked at it, and a man in shabby clothes was stuffing a steamed bun into his mouth, and he didn't forget to kick the greasy-faced woman who was holding his leg.
Qin Liuxi's face turned cold, and he walked over in three steps and two steps, and with a skillful hand, he pinched the man's arm and gently pulled him away and fell to the ground.
