Long Junhai's practice is to walk, pass by, and watch. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. This is the situation. People cannot always pursue those stereotyped things. They can only keep exploring, keep moving forward, and keep moving forward. This is life, this is the meaning of life.
Jieyang City is a very ancient capital city that has existed for countless years. Long Junhai had been in this city for three days and had spent all his money. Of course, he did not have much money. When he left, he only had ten taels of silver, which was collected by his three masters.
Long Junhai touched his belly. Now that he was a mortal, it was normal for him to be hungry. So it was not easy to be a mortal. Long Junhai had never begged for vegetarian food from others in all these years. He didn't expect that he would have to go down this path again.
Looking at his tattered robes, Long Junhai smiled bitterly. It's really not easy to be an ascetic! Now he's no different from a beggar.
"Donor, I'm a little hungry and would like to ask for some food. I don't know..."
Before Long Junhai could finish his words, he was kicked out by the waiter of the restaurant.
"Donor, I want..."
Before Long Junhai could finish his words, he was pushed out. This feeling made him very uncomfortable. After so many years, he had never had the experience of begging for food. Now he really wanted to take off this monk's robe.
However, at this moment, a little girl in red came over with a smile. The girl was dressed simply and looked pretty, but she had a lame leg. She was holding a flower basket in her hand. She must be a little girl selling flowers. She said, "Little master, I have a steamed bun here. If you are hungry, eat it first."
When Long Junhai heard this, he felt warm in his heart. After all, this was not an easy thing to come across. It was like a candlelight in the dark night. Although it was not very bright, it could point people in the direction of progress.
Long Junhai smiled and said, "Little girl, you eat. I'm not hungry."
"Take it. I'm the one who just ate it. Your stomach is rumbling. Do you think these steamed buns are not as delicious as the chicken, duck, fish and meat in the store? And don't call me a little girl. I'm sixteen years old! Not much younger than you!" The little girl in red said with a smile.
Long Junhai smiled and nodded. He accepted the steamed bun from the other person's hand and said, "Miss, have you been selling flowers all these years?"
"Yes, otherwise how can we support our family?" the little girl asked with a smile.
"Do you have any relatives at home?" Long Junhai asked again.
"Yes, but I've been bedridden. There was an epidemic in the city in recent years, and my leg was broken at that time. Fortunately, I saved my life. If it were someone else, my whole family would probably have died!" The little girl was telling the truth, because the plague was a fatal thing, and not everyone could survive it. Even rich people would die if they were infected with the plague!
This little girl used to be from a scholarly family, but because of the plague, her family fell into poverty. Now the whole family relies on her selling flowers to support them, and sometimes she also helps with some odd jobs. Although they live a very tight life, they are not starving.
Long Junhai smiled and nodded, then said, "Little girl, can I go to your house to take a look?"
Upon hearing this, the little girl glanced at Long Junhai warily, then said, "No, my parents are both bedridden, and I haven't sold all the flowers for today. If I go back, it will delay me."
"Well, I can wait until you sell all the flowers. Then I will help you heal this leg, and then help you cure your parents' illness!" Even if Long Junhai does not have any magical powers, it is enough to cure most ordinary people's illnesses. The other party's leg is lame due to muscle atrophy, which is not an incurable disease.
When the other party heard Long Junhai's words, he was excited and said, "Can you really help me heal my leg?"
"Of course, it just takes some time, probably about an hour." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll sell these flowers as soon as possible and then take you home!" The girl in red said, and immediately limped on the street, shouting to sell flowers, while Long Junhai sat at the city gate waiting.
Time passed little by little. Long Junhai sat under the city gate to bask in the sun. He felt a little drowsy, but the flowers in the red-dressed girl's hands were getting fewer and fewer, and they would soon be sold out.
But at this moment, several young men suddenly surrounded the girl in red, and the man in the lead said with a smile: "Taohong, what do you think about what I told you before? If you can be my bed-warming maid, I will give you ten taels of silver to settle down, and then your parents will have money to treat their illness! Otherwise, you will really be desperate! Because I will not let you sell a single flower here from now on!"
After the young man finished speaking, he snatched all the flowers from Taohong's hand, threw them on the ground and stepped on them.
Tao Hong looked at the other person expressionlessly, then said, "Don't even think about it! I won't agree to it!"
"Hehe! You have guts! You're awesome! You're really awesome! I was nice to you, but you ignored me, so don't blame me for being ruthless! A cripple like you can't possibly survive here! Someone! Take her back!"
As the male lovers were about to drag Taohong away, Long Junhai came over with a smile and said, "Amitabha, why are you bullying a weak woman?"
"Bald donkey, what are you doing here? Are you tired of living?" The young man in the lead asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I'm eighteen years old this year and have just become an adult. How could I be impatient with life? I just saw injustice and helped it out. Do you think there is anything wrong with that?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
"What a great guy who draws his sword to help others when he sees injustice! You are so awesome! Today I want to see where your sword is!" After saying this, the young man suddenly turned around and tore the other person's clothes.
"Oh my, the donor has developed an inner demon. It seems I have no choice but to help him vanquish it!"
After Long Junhai finished speaking, the Zen stick in his hand fell directly on the back of the opponent's head, and the guy fainted instantly.
At this moment, Long Junhai walked up to Taohong and said, "Don't cry, go home."
"Thank you for rescuing me, Master! I am very grateful!" Taohong wiped her tears and walked in front, while Long Junhai followed silently behind. After all, it would be useless to say too much at this time.
But when they arrived at Taohong's house, they saw two hanged bodies! There were big words written on them: You will be responsible for the consequences!
