Chapter 22: Causal loop

Views:

Where did the second child take the child? To the market. At that time, there was a business of human trafficking. Carry him to the market, spread a piece of cloth on the ground, put the child down, put a straw mark on his head, and kneel there. Everyone who understands knows that this is selling children, and they all stand around to watch.

The child didn't cry either. He laughed when someone teased him, which was really cute. At this time, a man who looked like a clerk separated from the crowd. Behind him was a middle-aged man who was dressed richly. Next to him stood a man with a robe on his back. Judging from his appearance, he should be a rich man. The member of staff came up and asked what was going on with the second child. The second child knelt and held up his hands and said, "The family is unfortunate. The child's mother passed away before he was one year old. The family is poor and has no money to bury him. The master feels that the child is pitiful and will give it to a few people." Money, take the child. This child who is under one year old has fulfilled his filial piety. It is better for him to go to a rich family than to starve to death with me." After that, tears fell like rain, and some of the onlookers were emotionally fragile. , and also shed a few tears. The old man's eyes were also red, and he asked: "How much do you plan to sell it for?" The second man raised his hands and said, "How dare you ask for anything when you are in this situation, I will reward you with a few, as long as you can bury the child." He took out a stack of banknotes from the clerk's bag, handed it over and said, "Do you think this money is enough?" The second boy glanced at it, kowtowed as if pounding garlic, and said "Thank you, Living Bodhisattva" countless times, and the clerk helped him. He picked up his second child and said sincerely: "Go and bury your wife!" He turned around and said to the waiter: "Pick up the child and let's go!"

When the second child returned home, there was already a commotion in the house. When asked, the child was missing. The second child pretended to be shocked, "Oh! We are all counting on this child. I'll find him quickly!" After that, he ran away. From then on, the second child became a fierce guy and disappeared. Besides, there was a big quarrel at home, and the child was not found. From then on, the family was depressed, lamenting and sighing all day long, and life was boring. The eldest brother picked up the eight ropes and said he was looking for the child by the way. .

Hearing this, Lin Feng asked: "Uncle, blind man, what are eight ropes?" The old man put a piece of braised pork in his mouth, chewed it and said vaguely: "Just make a pole, hang a basket on each side, in the market I buy some vegetables at the store and sell them in various villages, making a small profit from the price difference and making ends meet."

It is said that the boss picked up eight ropes to find the child. From then on, he had no fixed place to live, and sleeping on the street was common. He said he was looking for the child, but where could he find it? This was to escape the depressing environment at home! He died outside a few years later. As for the second child, he squandered all the money outside and came back. This time he is the head of the family, and he won't let his younger brother go to school, saying he has no money to support you! Get a wheelbarrow and let him push his feet. As time passed, the second brother had no money to spend, so he started thinking about his sister-in-law again! He gave his wife some money and asked her to take her sister-in-law to the market to relax, saying that seeing her unhappy every day would make her sick over time. His wife didn't notice anything, so she took her sister-in-law to the market. I saw a kind of headwear at a stall, and the price was not expensive. My second daughter-in-law liked the red one, and my sister-in-law liked the blue one, so they each bought one and put it on their heads. They didn't know that this was another evil trick of the second brother. He sold his sister-in-law and let them go to the streets. He had arranged for someone to watch each other secretly in advance.

In the afternoon, the bridegroomers came. When my sister-in-law heard the news, she immediately hanged herself. The second daughter-in-law went over to persuade her and found her sister-in-law hanging. She stepped forward to untie the rope, but when she was putting him down, she was knocked down and her headdress was smashed off. It was already getting dark, so she picked it up casually without distinguishing the color. One piece, I put it on my head, but I put it on my sister-in-law's headdress by mistake. At this time, the bride robbers were anxious when they saw that no one came out, so the second child simply told them to go in and rob her, the one wearing the blue headdress was the one. So, the second brother was immoral and his wife was snatched away. The eldest daughter-in-law woke up and then hanged herself...

In the blink of an eye, only the second and third children were left in the family. The second child relied on the young third child to support him. The second child often beat and scolded his younger brother after drinking. Later, the younger brother ran away from home and was abducted by a gangster. .

Speaking of this, Lin Feng interrupted again: "Uncle, what does the gnawer do?" This time the old man did not answer him but continued to talk.

There was an old lady who was busy at home when suddenly a child of about fifteen or sixteen years old with a pocket on his back broke into the yard. When he saw the old lady, he knelt down and shouted, "Old lady, help me!" The old woman asked: "Who are you?" The child said, "Both my parents died, and my uncle sent me to a drugstore in the city to work as a clerk. The beatings and scoldings from the shopkeeper were unbearable, so I stole some medicine and ran out. There were people behind me. The man is chasing me. If he is caught, he will be beaten to death!" The old lady said, "But how can I save you?" The child said, "The man will chase me later. You just said that I ran eastward. Wait. After he leaves, I will run south again!" So the old lady went out, and she saw a man chasing him, sweating profusely. When she saw the old lady, she asked if she saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old kid running away with a bag on his back. After passing by, the old lady asked: "Why are you asking?" The waiter said anxiously: "The boy in the store stole some precious medicinal materials and ran away!" The old lady said: "Oh, I saw someone. The child ran away to the east!" The boy said thank you and hurriedly chased him east. After coming back, the child thanked him for saving his life and asked, "Can the old lady be kind enough to lend me a few dollars for traveling expenses and escape back to my hometown?" The old lady said, "How can I have money?" The child took out his pocket and said, "I stole some valuable medicinal materials. Can you help me spread them around the neighborhood and sell them for travel expenses?" Afterwards, the old lady called the neighbors. Everyone saw ginseng, deer antlers, rhinoceros horns and other valuable traditional Chinese medicines, marked with a certain hall, and they all donated their money to buy them at cheap prices. Later, the child shouted, "No, the price is too cheap, I won't sell it anymore," then he picked up his bag and ran away. Speaking of this, the old man said to Lin Feng: "This is Chuanggna." Lin Feng said "Oh".

Those medicinal materials are all fake. This scam was planned in advance by the master and the apprentice. The guy chasing the person is the master. Those who work in this field are specifically looking for those fifteen or sixteen-year-old children who have run away from home. They are too young to be like little boys and are easy to get involved. If you seduce them with good food, drink, and clothes, and then teach them deception, the life span of a child will only be three or two years, because the master will teach them bad habits such as smoking, drinking, visiting brothels, gambling, etc. Once they become addicted, they will become addicted. He will continue to cheat, and when the child is eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling and smoking, and the expenses are getting bigger and bigger, most of the money earned will be consumed by the apprentice, and it will gradually become unprofitable, the master will suddenly disappear one day, and then look for the next one. A goal. The child has no master, no one will cooperate with him in his deception, the source of counterfeit medicine is gone, and there are very few deceivers. In addition, the five poisons are all available, and the road to hell is basically close.

The third child we are talking about was abducted by such intruders. There is no doubt that after three or two years, the fire will be extinguished and he will report to Wangxiangtai. The story ended here, and Mr. Li was obviously fascinated by it. At this time, the story ended without an ending. Mr. Li asked anxiously: "What happened next?" The old man finished eating the last piece of braised pork, "There is no future!" Mr. Li is a sweet-tempered person: "How can there be no future? Then there is no retribution for the second brother?! It's so unfair Yes!" The old man smiled obscenely again: "You knew everything later." Mr. Li's head was suddenly full of questions: "What do I know?" The old man laughed obscenely, "You didn't say that, then the boss, the boss's wife, The child who was sold, the second child’s wife, and the third child all slapped the second child, demanded money from the second child, and even lost their schoolbags..." Mr. Li suddenly realized! "You mean the second child is...?" After a while, he suddenly said, "No! The grudge between them will be settled in this life, but what is the situation of our couple? According to what you said, this is In the cycle of cause and effect, could it be that our husband and wife owed him a lot of debt in the previous life, which led to him being reincarnated as my son in this life? This guy has given me a lot of money!" The old man actually shrugged: "I don't know either!" Mr. Li didn't know. Answer, "How could you not know?"

The old blind man told Mr. Li that there were two types of people working in their industry, and some said there were three types. One type was called "Xinghuo", which relied entirely on deceiving people and didn't know how to calculate at all. One type is those who are proficient in the Book of Changes and are proficient in the art of two rituals, four images, and eight trigrams. This is someone like him who is called "jianhuo". The so-called third type is the fishy taste with added sharpness. No matter which one of these three types you fall into, you will have to suffer retribution, because doing this is a job that lacks great virtue. Scamming people out of money will not end well. Sharp job, leaking secrets! They will also be sent by heaven. The original fortune teller Xu Fu told Han Xin that he could live to be 72 years old and enjoy all the glory and wealth, which made Han Xin refuse to rebel. Finally, he was trapped and killed in Changle Palace. He only lived 32 years old. The chief judge of Yan Jun Sima Chongxiang You judged people's life and death arbitrarily and sentenced him to be reincarnated in Xiangyang Pangtong and only live 32 years old. Didn't you judge that he would live 72 years old and cause him to live only 32 years? Now let you only live to be 32 years old to warn the world not to judge people's life and death arbitrarily! So there are many rules in this tricky job. For example, the second hexagram is not counted within a day, the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month are not counted, holidays are not counted, cloudy and rainy days are not counted...
