We bought a lot of things on the way, some for Aunt Hu, and some for the Xian family. We carried big and small bags in, and Aunt Hu gave us another meal and said, just come and buy these things, haha, I Can't eat anything.
I haven't seen her for many days. Aunt Hu doesn't look very good and seems to have lost weight again. What's more, to my great surprise, Aunt Bai happens to be there.
So we sat down and chatted, talking about the affairs of Ma Yunfeng's cousin's house.
But none of us dared to mention the matter of praying for longevity, but my cousin told us about her father's lifelong good deeds and the suffering he suffered in this life.
She started crying as she spoke, and I couldn't help but feel emotional, because her father was very similar to my aunt. They were both very kind people who did a lot of good deeds, but there was no good reward.
So after talking for a while, my cousin asked Aunt Hu why her father had such a hard life despite his good deeds, and God didn't reward him with any good things.
Aunt Hu sighed and said, "Silly boy, many good people in this world are like this. Do you know why?"
We shook our heads together, expressing our incomprehension, very incomprehensible.
I also asked Aunt Hu: "Is this all caused by the cause and effect of three lives? But even if he did a lot of bad things in his previous life, but he was reincarnated as an adult in this life, I don't think he is too bad. Why did he do so many good things? If you can't offset your previous evil deeds, why can't you give him some retribution in this life? Do you have to wait until the next life?"
Ma Yunfeng also interjected: "That's right, no one can see what happens in the afterlife, so why do good people have to be punished? In this case, who is willing to be a good person?"
My cousin also said: "To tell you the truth, when I see my dad acting like this, I have already made up my mind that I will never do good deeds in the future. There will be no retribution anyway. When I sell fish in the market, I have always been very generous. , but I don’t make as much as those who are short of a jin, so I might as well forget about it from now on!”
Aunt Hu looked at her, then at us, and sighed.
"Let me tell you this, it may not sound nice, but when your father comes to this world, he is destined not to enjoy happiness. Only by suffering can he eliminate his karma. If he hadn't done so many good things, maybe he wouldn't be able to enjoy happiness." I wouldn’t have given birth to you two children, and I might not even be alive now.”
My cousin couldn't help but was stunned: "Aunt Hu, do you mean to say that my dad's survival to this day is a fortune teller?"
Aunt Bai laughed at the side and said, "You may not believe it. Your Aunt Hu's life span is only more than forty years, but she is already over sixty this year. She earned all her money by doing good deeds, even though she is not in good health. , Damn it, my life is extended after all.”
Aunt Hu said: "Don't mention it. I almost died several times. The old fairy family refused to let me go and dragged me back. I couldn't die even if I wanted to. They had to let me lead them to save people."
Aunt Bai said: "I have heard about your dad's situation. In fact, if you think about it, although he has never been blessed in his life, he has given birth to a son and a daughter. This is a great blessing, and he has this disease. He came in such a hurry. To put it bluntly, maybe God was destined not to let him suffer too much. Those who really deserved bad retribution couldn't die even if they wanted to, so they just collapsed on the bed and suffered. From this point of view, it was considered What a blessing.”
I quite agree with what Aunt Hu and Aunt Bai said, so I nodded and said, "That's true. Sometimes blessings come in various forms. It doesn't necessarily have to be good fortune or longevity, nor does it have to be rich. .”
Then Aunt Hu continued: "And you just said that you sell fish in the market. You are in the business of killing animals. As children, you have not accumulated any blessings for your father. You kill and sell fish every day. You said that you Who can you blame?”
My cousin asked in confusion: "But it's me who kills and sells fish. My dad doesn't participate."
Aunt Bai said: "You will be affected if you don't participate. You are all a family, and his blessings are very shallow. When you kill a living being, the karma falls on him first, and you will have to bear it in the future." .”
My cousin is still puzzled: "But I sell fish for a living. There are so many fish and meat sellers in the world, and those who kill pigs and sheep, don't they all deserve good rewards? But without us, what about those who want to eat fish and meat?" So, don’t they have any retribution?”
Ma Yunfeng also scratched his hair and said: "If this is the case, then everyone in the world might as well become vegetarians, but eating meat is also a link in the biological chain, and God has not said not to eat meat. Besides, those reincarnated people are not allowed to eat meat. Those who have become chickens, ducks and fish, being eaten is their retribution."
Each of these people had their own reasons. I thought about it and concluded: "You are all right. It is a law of nature for people to eat meat. It is also their karma to be reborn as pigs, sheep and fish. However, Any creature will have resentment when it is killed. Even if it deserves to die, its resentment will still affect the person who kills it, thus creating new karma. Therefore, Buddhism says that when eating meat, you must eat three pure meats. , that’s the truth.”
My cousin was so confused after hearing this that she simply stopped thinking about it and told Aunt Hu directly: "Actually, I came here today just to see you, but now that I've said it, I still want to ask, is there really nothing about my dad?" Is there a solution? This disease came so suddenly. I also said that I would take my dad on a trip in the spring of next year. He has not even flown on a plane yet..."
The cousin shed tears as she spoke. Aunt Hu looked at Aunt Bai helplessly, and Aunt Bai also looked at Aunt Hu helplessly.
Aunt Hu sighed: "How can this be done...Oh, I can't stand this child crying. He is also a filial child."
Aunt Bai laughed: "Are you soft-hearted again? But you can't go either. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come back? Besides, his name is already ticked. Can you get him back?"
Aunt Hu said: "I can't go, then you can go. You happen to be here today, so why don't you make a hard trip?"
Aunt Bai smiled bitterly and said, "My heart is not good either..."
The two old ladies said something to each other, and it was obvious in their words that they were soft-hearted again and wanted to go to the yin to give their cousin a try to see what the situation was like and see if they could live longer.
I quickly gave my cousin a wink. My cousin understood and immediately knelt down in front of the two old ladies.
"Aunt Hu, Aunt Bai, I beg you to save my dad. My dad is so pitiful. Even if there is only a little hope, I want to give it a try. Even if I let him live for another year..."
As she said this, she lay on the ground and cried loudly, then kowtowed.
Aunt Hu and Aunt Bai quickly got up and were dragged up by their cousin. Of course, they were not very energetic. Ma Yunfeng and I also went over to help, but my cousin refused to do it, kept kowtowing, and didn't get up even after saying anything.
This cousin is indeed a fish seller. She is so strong. We finally managed to pull her up, but we saw that my cousin was already crying with snot and tears.
Then, Aunt Hu said: "Let's invite the Xian family down first to ask, otherwise we won't know what's going on."
Aunt Bai said: "Should you dance or should I dance?"
Aunt Hu said: "I'll do it, whoever makes me owe money is always soft-hearted."
Aunt Bai nodded: "Then as you say, let's perform a dance for this Pan-headed Weaver Girl today. Please ask the immortal to talk to her and see if this person can be saved or not!"
