In Qilishan Village, there are still some lonely or disabled elderly people who have no one to take care of them, and their lives are very difficult. After finding out, Mr. He took the initiative to provide money to help them, but this alone could not solve the problem. Dr. He used his savings from treating people over the years to build a nursing home and take in all the elderly people in the village who had no one to take care of them.
Of course, Mr. He is too busy by himself. He also hired several young people to help as caregivers in the nursing home. In order to keep the elderly fed, clothed and provided with relief supplies, he also raised a few cattle for plowing the fields and planting a wide range of crops. In this way, within three to five years, the nursing home was as wealthy as a self-sufficient home. The manor is self-sufficient, and it is not as short of manpower as before, but has slowly increased its manpower.
What is the reason for this? The reason is that those orphaned or disabled elderly people have lived a relatively comfortable life under the care of Mr. He, and most of them have become healthy and able to participate in labor.
In addition, He Langzhong, who was proficient in medical skills, taught them how to maintain health and health. They had fewer diseases and became healthier. Some are vying to do this, and some are vying to do that. Everyone does his or her best, treating this nursing home or manor as their own big family.
At that time, there was an old man who used to herd cattle. His surname was Hu, his courtesy name was Qingya, his nickname was Wu Lai, and his given name was Zhen. He fought to raise cattle. He is in his eighties, with silver hair like He Langzhong, but he is very energetic.
He is one year younger than Mr. He. Mr. He often calls him "Brother Hu". He feels cordial and is happy to comply. One night in winter, it was the Youshi hour. These elderly friends from different villages spent the night happily like a family and dispersed. Hu Zhenzhen also left the restaurant and went straight to the cowshed in the backyard to take a look. Has the cow finished the fodder he put there?
He pushed open the door that had not yet been closed and raised the lit pine fire to have a look. He didn't know what he saw, so he turned around and left. He came to the mysterious residence and clinic of He Langzhong who was brewing medicine and filled the room with the scent of medicine. He whispered something to him.
Then he picked up a wooden stick and was about to leave. He Langzhong smiled and said, Brother Hu, slow down, don't be rash, just listen to me, put down the wooden stick, and wait for a while at the door of the cowshed house.
Hu Zhen was puzzled, but still followed He Langzhong's instructions and came to wait at the door of the cowshed house. About half an hour later, Hu Zhenzhen smelled the aroma of food. He was even more puzzled, we all stayed up late, and it was getting late, who would eat dinner?
Just as he was thinking like this, he heard footsteps. He turned around and saw Mr. He walking over with a candle with a floating flame for illumination. He said to him, Brother Hu, lead the way and have a look at the cattle pen.
Hu Zhen understood a little bit, and then stepped forward into the cattle pen. He pointed at an invisible man lying on the belly of the cow, turned around and whispered to He Langzhong, who was following quietly, "Did you see it?" That's what cattle thieves are. How can we deal with it with our bare hands? I'll go get the stick instead!
He Langzhong shook his head and signaled him to go away. He approached the cow, squatted down, looked at the man lying on the cow's belly and said, "Oh, gentleman on the beam, no, gentleman on the cow, you sneaked into the cow while avoiding us." If you want to steal cattle, you must be forced by life. I don't blame you, but I want to tell you that this kind of thing cannot be done.
In fact, Old Hu from our manor had discovered you lying on the cow's belly a long time ago. He told me that I would not sue the officials or alert you, for fear that if I alerted you, you would run away.
Why didn't I alarm you? Mainly because I want to be kind to you and treat you like a rare guest. I also specially arranged for the cook to hold a banquet for you. I want to drink a glass of wine with you and have a good talk with you. What difficulties do you have and why do you want to steal cattle? Is it okay not to steal cattle?
If there are any difficulties and you can't live, you can stay in our manor and do the work you can, so that you can eat and drink. Why do you have to do this kind of thing where you will be frightened, beaten and humiliated after being discovered, and your family will be harmed? What about the disgraceful things that cause loss of face?
Suddenly, with a "pop", the person lying on the cow's belly - a man with a pair of eyes as small as mung beans fell down, no, jumped down.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mr. He repeatedly, saying, "What a good man!" I have long heard that you, Mr. He, are a good person, but I never expected that you are really so good. I should not have set out to steal the cows in your manor. Although I did not steal them, I was at fault first. If you hadn’t taken care of them, Yan, I will succeed. oops! I'm so sorry for your manor, Mr. He, just let me go! I'll be thankful if they don't arrest me or sue the officials. How can I expect to stay in the manor and let you treat me like a guest?
Dr. He helped him up and pulled him out of the cattle pen and said, I sincerely want to let you have a drink. If you are willing to stay and work in the manor, I will take you in. If you are not willing, I will give you a ride. But I advise you not to do such disgraceful things in the future.
Here, Hu Zhen was also affected. His hostility toward the man who attempted to steal the cow gradually turned into goodwill. He said, "You really should go inside and sit down and have a glass of wine. First, listen to Dr. He's advice, and second, Shocked. At this point, he chuckled and continued, "You should thank Dr. He. If he hadn't persuaded me to forgive you, you would have received a few sticks from me, because I was the first to find you lying on the belly of that cow." .
Upon hearing this, the man quickly came over and knelt down to Hu Zhen, and said, thank you for not fighting me. I will never care about your manor again. You are so good to me. Hu Zhen said, "Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Mr. He."
Doctor He said, no need, no need. Then he helped the man up and walked towards the main room of the courtyard. The aroma of the dishes filled the air, making the man truly feel that Mr. He really treated him as a guest.
The hazy night, just like the darkness in the man's heart, was gradually eliminated by Mr. He's persuasive words as he clinked glasses and held cups.
His heart seemed to be filled with light immediately. He immediately worshiped Dr. He as his adoptive father and vowed to wash his hands in a golden basin from now on, stop stealing, study medicine with his adoptive father honestly, and provide free medical consultations to avenge his past mistakes.
A few years later, He Langzhong educated five or six people like the thieving man, and ten years later, the number reached fifty or sixty. Later, Qili Chongshan Village really lived up to its name and showed a good custom of not closing the house at night and not picking up lost things on the road.
One day in the autumn of that year, Dr. He died of illness while sitting in the manor. His life span was 140 years old. When he left, he was smiling and his eyelids were slightly closed, as if he was sleeping. The old people who were still alive in the manor heard bursts of celestial music, so they all talked about it, saying that God has the virtue of a good life. Seeing that Dr. He had accumulated countless merits during his lifetime, Then they played fairy music to welcome him to heaven and become a god.
Mortals do not have clairvoyance and can only guess. However, the God of the Earth, God of Home, God of Kitchen, and God of Doors, who all had their own magical powers, now came to respectfully see Mr. He off. They were already standing in a row, but what they saw was a different scene: a sacred sedan accompanying him. Waves of celestial music descended from the sky, and immediately the spirit body of He Langzhong rose up.
After going to the Heavenly Palace, He Langzhong's spirit body should be incorporated into the Immortal Class. However, after he thanked the God of Heaven, he said, "I once swore secretly in the human world that I would do thirty thousand good deeds, but now my life span has expired and I have not yet reached thirty thousand." , still owes 1,200 good deeds. I sincerely ask the Emperor of Heaven to allow me to return to the human world and be reincarnated as a human being to complete my good deeds. If he has the chance, it will not be too late to go to heaven again.
Suddenly an immortal official smiled and said, many people long to ascend to heaven and become immortals after their lifespan ends, but you ignore such a good opportunity and decide to go down to earth and become a human being. How much suffering does it take to be a human being? How happy would it be to be a god?
Mr. He’s spirit body worships him. Forgive me for being disrespectful and blunt. When Mr. He was still alive, he once heard an enlightened monk say: I don’t want to enjoy personal happiness, but I hope that all sentient beings can be freed from suffering. The main reason why I came down to earth to reincarnate as a human being is to help the suffering sentient beings in this world.
The Emperor of Heaven praised, it is rare for Mr. He to have such a compassionate heart, I will fulfill your wish! Immediately, arrangements were made for the guardian deity to send He Langzhong's spirit body down to earth, and ordered him to be born into the home of a high official in the capital.
