Who lost the gold bar? Li Lamei moved the leather bag behind her back and suddenly stood up and asked.
Girl, it's me. The middle-aged man who had already entered the teahouse answered timidly.
What are the gold bars packed in? Li Lamei asked because she was worried that the owner was cheating.
It's in a leather bag. The middle-aged man responded immediately.
Li Lamei turned around, picked up the leather bag, handed it to the middle-aged man and asked, is it this leather bag?
The middle-aged man took the leather bag and opened it. It was full of golden gold bars. He poured out all the gold bars in the leather bag and counted them one by one. When he finished counting, the clouds on his face were swept away and he looked at those who followed him. The two young men who came raised their voices and said, "It's right, there are 50 gold bars in total."
Congratulations! You, Jia Rihuan, saved your life. The fat man tells the truth.
Your name is an auspicious one, I finally got it back, otherwise, I would be in trouble. said the thin man.
Jia Rihuan buried his head and put the gold bars that he had poured out into the leather bag, but there were 10 gold bars left. He grabbed them with both hands, handed them to Li Lamei and said, "Girl, please accept these ten gold bars." As a reward for you. This is what Boss Zhong means.
No, can't. When Li Lamei said this, he spread his hands and refused to take them.
Our boss Zhong has said that if anyone picks up this leather bag and returns the gold bars voluntarily, it is considered as a waste of gold and should be given ten gold bars as a reward on the spot. The fat man made some sense.
Girl, just accept it! If you don't accept it, you won't receive it. The thin man also joined in excitedly.
Take it! You are my savior, not to mention that our boss Zhong promised to reward you. Even if our boss Zhong doesn't agree to reward you, I, Jia Rihuan, will still give you one month's salary to reward you. Do you know? Girl, you are my savior, otherwise, I would not survive tonight. Jia Rihuan held ten gold bars in both hands and urged her to accept them with sincere words.
I can't accept Uncle Jia and my two brothers. I can't take things that are not mine. I know that the owner must be very anxious, so he waited so long, not for the reward of these ten gold bars. Li Lamei waved her hands as she spoke.
At this time, Jia Rihuan put ten gold bars on the table, took one and stuffed it into the leather bag, and then said, if you think the reward is too much, I will only give you 9 gold bars, okay?
Li Lamei still doesn't want it. The fat man took one of the nine gold bars on the table and stuffed it into the leather bag. He smiled and said, "Girl, there are only eight gold bars left now. Just accept it!" Li Lamei still shook her head, and the thin man took out another one of the eight golden roots and stuffed it into the leather bag. He looked at her and said, Girl, there are only seven left, take it!
Li Lamei still waved her hand and said, I really don’t want it. I was planning to take a boat across the river out of the county, and I had bought the ticket. However, I was delayed in taking the boat in order to wait for the owner to return, but I did not regret it. I finally made the owner feel at ease.
Jia Rihuan put all seven gold bars into the leather bag, but without thinking, he took out another gold bar and stuffed it into Li Lamei's hand. Li Lamei took it and stuffed it into the leather bag again, saying no.
Why are you so embarrassed? Jia Rihuan said before leaving, you are a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart, but you are dressed in ordinary clothes. Wait for me at the gate of Dajiangnan Clothing City at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. When I come, you can go in and pick one. Get some fashionable clothes and I'll pay for them. Think about it, it doesn’t make sense if I don’t reward you.
Oh well! Li Lamei finally agreed.
At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, Li Lamei arrived at the gate of Dajiangnan Clothing City. As soon as he saw Jia Rihuan, he raised his hands and said, Uncle Jia, you don't need to buy me clothes. It's too late for me to thank you.
Upon hearing this, Jia Rihuan said inexplicably, girl, please don't get it wrong. It's me who should thank you. If you hadn't returned to me the leather bag containing 50 gold bars that I lost, I wouldn't be alive today.
Li Lamei said, thank you for losing that valuable thing yesterday, otherwise I would not be alive today. Jia Rihuan asked what was going on, and Li Lamei explained the reason:
Yesterday, I bought a ticket for the 2 o'clock noon boat trip to cross the river and return to school. Before boarding the boat, I went to the Yan Gui Lai Tea House to have tea. I saw someone had lost something valuable on the seat, so I became worried for the owner and sat there waiting for the owner. Returned to claim it, just like that, delayed the boat ride. Did you know that yesterday the boat was overturned by strong waves while crossing the river, and all 23 people on board were killed? Uncle Jia, do you think I should thank you?
I have to thank you too, girl. If you hadn't returned the things you found to me, I would have died too. Jia Rihuan was very excited when he said this.
At this time, some people nearby heard the clues and praised Li Lamei for his good deed of saving two lives.
Jia Rihuan still expressed his intention to go to Dajiangnan Garment City to buy a set of clothes for Li Lamei, but was declined again. She said, we are even, we don't owe each other.
Jia Rihuan said, "Girl is so trustworthy. If you have any difficulties in the future, please tell me and I will find a way to help you." Then he asked where Li Lamei was studying and where her hometown was, and asked to help her buy another ferry ticket to take the boat across the river at 2 o'clock that afternoon and return to the provincial capital Medical University. Li Lamei took out a ferry ticket from her bag and showed it to him, saying that I had already bought it.
So, they said goodbye to each other. Jia Rihuan went back and told Boss Zhong about it. Boss Zhong was also moved by her deeds and expressed his gratitude to Li Lamei.
A few days later, Boss Zhong took Jia Rihuan to Li Meila, a student at the Provincial Medical University, and asked her if she had any difficulties that she needed help with, but she said no. Her classmate Wang Li was standing nearby, smiling silently at her, and told Boss Zhong that Li Meila actually had difficulties, but she refused to say it. Turning his attention to Li Lamei again, you can actually say.
At this time, Jia Rihuan asked Li Lamei, do you have any concerns?
No. We were even, even if that happened, I saved you and you saved me. If you want to help me, wouldn’t I owe you a debt? Li Lamei said what was on her mind.
When Boss Zhong heard this, he smiled and said, "Oh, that's the reason." It's quite principled. Then he looked at Wang Li next to him and said, "Your classmate behaves noblely. He only gives to others and does not ask for anything from others. It's really good." She may be embarrassed to talk about her difficulties, so ask you to talk about it on her behalf.
Then, on behalf of classmate Li Lamei, I would like to express my gratitude for your kindness. Wang Li spoke very politely, and then explained the two major difficulties Li Lamei faced: First, the tuition and fees for college were all borrowed, and he had no money to repay them, so he had to wait until he worked in the future to save money to repay; Her mother has a mental illness and has no money to treat her.
Li Lamei glared at her and said, Wang Li, let me add to your second point. My mother is indeed mentally ill and she borrowed money to cure it, but she couldn't cure it. Even if she had money, she couldn't cure it.
Easy to say, easy to say. No matter how much tuition and fees you borrow, I, Zhong Huimin, will pay it back for you. Your mother is sick and must be treated. No matter how much it costs, I will pay for it. Zhong Huimin, who was speaking, looked shy and generous.
No, Boss Zhong, I don’t need you to pay back the tuition and fees I borrowed, and you don’t need to pay for my mother’s medical treatment. If you really want to help me, then accept my respect. Li Lamei said sincerely.
Seeing you pick up gold, you are not ignorant and have good moral character. Out of loyalty, I made a special trip to the provincial capital to find you. The purpose is to help you and to thank you. If you say you want to worship me, how can I afford it? Zhong Huimin said so.
Li Lamei really bowed to him, and he didn't have time to get out of the way. Li Lamei straightened up and said, if you really want to help me, then I will ask you to fund the construction of a temple in our hometown.
Can't you give me money? Why build a temple? What benefits do you get from building a temple? Several questions popped up in Zhong Huimin's mind and he blurted them out.
Boss Zhong, if you build a temple in my hometown in my mother's name, the mental illness my mother has suffered for many years will be cured without medicine. As for the reason, there is no need to investigate, and it is not clear. Li Lamei spoke very seriously.
There are a lot of troubles involved in building a temple. You need to apply for approval from the local Ethnic and Religious Bureau, acquire land, and apply for certificates from the land and real estate departments. But no matter how troublesome it is, I am willing to do it. Zhong Huimin said decisively.
Zhong Huimin kept his word, and within half a year he built a temple on the hill in his hometown of Li Lamei's mother in the name of Li Lamei's mother.
He went through a lot of troubles. At first, he said that some functional gates were difficult to pass. Even the village committee cadres did not agree. The reason was that building temples was a feudal superstition. You said it was not the case, but you told them not to scratch your head. Zhong Huimin didn't say anything, so he spent money to invite the village cadres to the city to have fun, eat and drink, and then they agreed to build a temple in the village. After passing the first, second, and third steps, going to the land department to apply for certificates, etc., when encountering resistance, Zhong Huimin showed small favors to the principals, and naturally they gave the green light to his temple construction project.
After the temple was completed, Li Lamei's mother's madness really got better, and she no longer kept her hair and disheveled, yelling and saying crazy things about me becoming the county magistrate of Qianshan County.
It is unknown to the world that when she returned to normal, it was because the Dharma Protector, for the sake of Zhong Huimin's merit in building a temple for her, released her original god who was detained in the local City God's Temple and returned to her body.
Before this, the reason why Li Lamei's mother said such crazy things about becoming the county magistrate of Qianshan County was because there was indeed a ghost of the magistrate who died in a car accident in Qianshan County possessing her.
So what's going on? Many years ago, there was a large temple located on the sandbank downstream of the moat. In front of the temple stood a bronze Buddha statue more than two feet high.
It is said that a man from the south of the Yangtze River who was an official in Xichuan in ancient times returned to his hometown in his later years. He gathered all the copper coins he had accumulated throughout his life and cast a Buddha statue. He planned to transport it back to his hometown along the waterway, but for some unknown reason, it was transported to the lower reaches of the moat in Qianshan County. , the boat can no longer move.
This Jiangnan native thought that the Buddha statue had a spirit, and perhaps he took a fancy to this place. So the people from Jiangnan decided to build a temple on the sandbank by the river. In front of the temple was placed this tall and sacred bronze Buddha statue.
For thousands of years, the temple has been flourishing with incense. It was only during the Republic of China that wars broke out frequently and the monks and nuns were separated, leaving an empty temple. At that time, the Japanese came here and found that the bronze Buddha statue was valuable, so they wanted to transport it away. However, they tied it with an iron rope and couldn't pull it with several cars, so they had to give up.
Shortly after the liberation of the Eastern Territory, a movement to destroy the "Four Olds" emerged. At that time, the magistrate of Qianshan County ordered the giant bronze Buddha statue in front of Shazhou Temple to be blown up, but it could not be shaken by manpower, so it was blown up with explosives.
Less than half a year later, the county magistrate was riding a jeep on a winding mountain road when it suddenly overturned. Four of the five people in the car survived with only minor injuries. Only the county magistrate was thrown out of the window and fell into a deep stream. Died.
His soul was imprisoned and tortured with a stick in the underworld for accountability. Later he was demoted to a wandering ghost and was not allowed to be reincarnated, wandering around everywhere. Occasionally, I met Li Lamei's mother, who had lost her original spirit, and possessed her, and through her mouth, she said something like, "I became the county magistrate of Qianshan County."
As far as You Shen Gui, who had been the county magistrate during his lifetime, wanted to show off, he was telling the truth, but to the world, it sounded like crazy talk, because the world didn't know the truth, so they just thought it was said by Li Lamei's mother. .
Soon, an eminent monk came to Mount Wutai in Shanxi Province. Unlike ordinary monks, he only lived in a temple on the mountainside of Lijiawan Village at night and went down the mountain to preach in various villages during the day. His sermons were not limited to eccentric verses, but rather conveyed a sense of exhortation and punishment.
Let’s just talk about killing, stealing and sexual intercourse which are strictly forbidden in Buddhism! The eminent monk used this to talk about cause and effect, but he was not talking rhetorically. He always talked about it based on examples familiar to the villagers.
