When Cai Luoxia heard Lu Buping's ridicule, she naturally lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything. Mu Yun next to her suddenly had an idea in her mind and blurted out: "When Lu Buping sees injustice, help him!" Ting'er, you mentioned it in Chang'an earlier The 'old~old~senior' who arrived turned out to be Senior Lu?"
Yan Ting rolled her eyes at Mu Yun and said coolly: "I just woke up, but these two sentences are indeed too joking, so since my master became an elder, few people have said it. No wonder you didn't I’ve heard of it.”
Mu Yun scratched his head in embarrassment, suddenly raised his left hand, hooked the three fingers of his middle thumb back into his palm, but his ring finger and little finger stood as straight as a halberd, and then he said with eyes full of curiosity: "Then what does this gesture mean? How come you knew it was Senior Lu as soon as Gang Leader Lu showed up?"
Yan Ting was secretly amused when she heard this, and even though the road was uneven, she smiled and said: "This is not a 'gesture'. The money-mad kid will know it just by looking at it."
After he said that, he raised his left hand and shook it slightly, but he saw that the three fingers of the middle thumb were missing, leaving only the ring finger and little finger.
Mu Yun suddenly had an epiphany and felt dumbfounded for a moment. He secretly thought that it was no wonder Lu Buping kept his left hand in his sleeve. It turned out to be because of this.
Seeing that the road was uneven and he was also lame, it must have been due to the many hardships in his life. Mu Yun sighed and felt great admiration.
Lu Buping saw what Mu Yun was thinking, and said calmly: "Yes, Lao Jinghua has been in hundreds of fights in his life, and has hundreds of visible and invisible injuries. But these three fingers But his head was cut off before becoming a disciple."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, with a look of surprise on their faces. Lu Buping paused for a moment, then sighed: "I told Nizi's mother about this reason when she got married, and Nizi probably knows it too. Bar?"
Yan Ting nodded and said in a rare and obedient manner: "Well... Mom told me that my master's three fingers were broken when he was a child, and they were broken off by a bad official, because... because of you... …”
She hesitated while she was speaking. Seeing this, Lu Buping laughed at himself and said, "There's nothing bad to say. Lao Jinghua is just a cheap man who picked up half of the chicken bones that the young master threw away. That's why he was in the eyes of others. As a result, That’s how you end up with this kind of virtue.”
Everyone felt indignant when they heard this, but Lu Buping shook his head and murmured to himself: "At that time, we also thought, we were all forced to be desperate and forced to become beggars, why do we still have to be bullied by others? After all, When will it be over? Do you really want us to give up this stupid life?"
"We are poor people with no family background. In order to save our lives, my parents starved themselves to a skeleton. When we died and were buried, they were dug up and gnawed by wild dogs. At that time, we didn't know what kind of pain our body was experiencing. It’s my parents’ principles, but since I survived, it’s not that easy for me to die again.”
"We couldn't figure it out at that time. How could this young master be so arrogant? It was probably because we had a lot of copper coins at home, right? As far back as we can remember, we have never seen silver, and we have never even thought about gold, diamonds, etc. I only know that five copper coins were exchanged for three large steamed buns, but that was before the famine."
"Since we can be so arrogant if we have money, let's just go and get money. We, a crippled doll, can't do serious things, so we have to follow the old oil man and learn those sneaky tricks. Of course, in the early days, we were the ones who were at the bottom, and it was inevitable. It’s going to take a few fat beatings, but we have to live, right?”
"Gradually I became familiar with the tricks, and my techniques became more refined. Two fingers were much smoother than their five fingers. The money kept getting more and more, but I still couldn't get it right. Sometimes people dress up like dogs. , I feel so ashamed when I look at it, but I still wear these rags so well."
"Actually, looking back, although our money came from a shady source, how can those officials and business people be so clean? They may even have darker hearts than us. After reading the book, I realized that this is called 'stealing'. Those who hook are punished, and those who steal the country are the princes."
"But no matter how clear it is in the book, people should still be violent. No matter how much money we have, we are still the thieves that everyone calls for beating. The most irritating thing is that we spend money to donate to an official position, but in the end we are still I can’t help but feel depressed, so let’s not even mention the frustration.”
"After being entangled like this for a while, we finally figured it out a little bit. Because I'm used to being bullied by others, if I really want to bully others in turn, I really can't do it in my heart. So with so much money, I can't do it. What’s the use?”
"We were so angry that we didn't turn around. The next day we took out several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry and threw them all away. As a result, we all looked at the mud-legged guys who were snatching them away. It took me a while to wake up, why did I suddenly have such a 'horrible' feeling?"
"We hadn't read the Monk's Sutra at that time, and we didn't know about the sayings about 'letting go' and 'giving alms'. I just felt that I had lost all my money. Instead, I felt a sense of relief that I had never felt before. Ha... In short, it was born There is really no cure for this miserable life~"
"But from then on, we finally found a way to be 'horrible', and the more 'horrible' we became, the more addicted we became. As a result, our reputation became bigger and bigger. The old gang leader just found out, and he knocked his head three times and did it. His old man’s closed disciple.”
"I followed the old gang leader to learn how to wield a stick as well as books. I finally realized that you don't have to rely on gold and silver to stay in power in this world. Regardless of whether we are a beggar or a mud-legged person, we have a stick in our hands and a brain on our shoulders. Only with this can we Let’s take the path we want to take and live the life we want to live.”
"'The Lu is uneven, the road is uneven, and the Qi Road is uneven and difficult to walk at times. Talking about the human heart, Taoist people's hearts, and the Taoist people's hearts are difficult to calm down in the world.' We still haven't understood the meaning of these two verses when the old gang leader left, but after all, it was him As the old man says, 'Do what you feel like doing, do your best, that's all'."
After some emotion, there was already no one in the place. Lu Buping calmed down and said with a smile: "Well, people always like to talk too much when they are old. It is really worthy to be punished for being a beggar, but there is no strong alcohol prepared in this place. Should I punish him with the 'Five Blessings and Longevity Eight Immortals Soup' later?"
Everyone's hearts surged, but they smiled secretly when they heard this. Yan Ting's clear eyes sparkled, and she said in a soft voice: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely not bully others. In addition, I must carry forward the Six Heroes Alliance, at least. You are just as 'arrogant' as you were before."
Lu Buping lovingly touched Yan Ting's forehead. Although his eyes were filled with relief, there seemed to be a trace of unspeakable confusion.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something when Lu Buping suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes, and a look of vigilance appeared on his slender face.
Yan Ting was secretly puzzled when she saw this, thinking that what she said was inappropriate, and she offended Lu Buping.
She was embarrassed and was about to change her words when she heard a knock on the door from outside. How could she believe that there was an uninvited guest on this late night?
