Seeking the Way of Immortality

"Laoshi, we brothers have a good relationship on weekdays. You can't finish this pheasant in one meal. Why don't you sell it to us and save some money to marry a wife." A tall and strong young man patted Wang Laoshi on the shoulder and said.

"Li Laosan, don't do that useless thing, and talk about money."

"Tsk, you are so poor, you are lazy and want to buy pheasants to eat, it's a joke." Someone said disdainfully.

"Chen Dayang, who the hell are you talking about?" Li Laosan said with hatred, clenching his fists.

"Laoshi, sell it to me, 15 yuan for a pheasant, 30 yuan for a rabbit, how about it?" Chen Dayang said with a smile.

Seeing that everyone blocked his way, Wang Laoshi knew that it was impossible not to leave something behind, so he smiled and said, "Don't treat me as a fool. I have also been to the market. This pheasant is at least fifty coins, and a rabbit is definitely not worth less than a hundred coins."

"Puff!"

"What did he say? He said he had been to the market?"

"Is this the person who has been to the market?"

Everyone sneered. According to the current market price, a pheasant can be sold for at least a hundred coins, and a rabbit is nearly twice as much as a pheasant, about two hundred coins. Moreover, the rabbits and pheasants in Wang Laoshi's hands are particularly fat, and the price is much higher.

Four rabbits and two pheasants can be sold for about a thousand coins, which is ten taels of silver.

One tael of silver, a hundred coins!

But how could Wang Laoshi know this? He has only been to the market a few times in his life, and he only bought some salt, seasonings and other things. As for meat? In his impression, he had never really bought anything. During the New Year, he only ate pheasants or rabbits that were frozen to death by the heavy snow, or a few small fish caught in front of his house.

"Laoshi, based on our brotherly feelings, I will give you five taels of silver for four rabbits and two pheasants." Chen Dayang said with a smile.

"Laoshi, I am your uncle from the same family! Can I watch you suffer a loss? No, absolutely not, I will give you five taels and ten coins." Uncle Wang stepped forward and said.

"Laoshi, one rabbit and one corn cob in the morning. Now that Er Niang has figured it out, you sell the pheasants and rabbits to me, and I will give you twenty corn cobs, how about it?" Liu Er Niang said kindly.

"Humph, Laoshi, I will take you to the market tomorrow." Wang Hu walked over and said.

He is a down-to-earth person who cannot stand others bullying others. Although he was very dissatisfied with Laoshi in the morning, he did not hold a grudge. Seeing so many people trying to take advantage of Wang Laoshi and treating him like a fool, he immediately became unhappy and stood up.

"Go away, you are everywhere, it's really annoying."

"What the hell? People who can't even afford furniture for marriage."

"You guys?" Wang Hu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Wang Laowu was frightened by the strange faces of the people and hid behind Wang Laoshi, not daring to show his head. At this time, he heard Wang Hu's voice and hurriedly pulled Wang Laoshi closer to Wang Hu.

When Wang Laoshi saw that his brother was not happy, he was not willing to do it, so he immediately took Wang Laowu to Wang Hu: "Brother Wang Hu, I will go to the market with you tomorrow."

"Well, I'll wait for you at the village head tomorrow." After Wang Hu responded, he didn't want to say more and walked home.

Wang Laoshi didn't want to pay attention to everyone. He still remembered the loss he suffered in the morning. Although his brain was not working well, he knew that he was fooled in the morning.

Now Liu Erniang mentioned the corn-for-rabbit exchange in the morning, which immediately reminded him of what happened in the morning, so he took Wang Laowu home directly.

"I say Liu Erniang, you are too cruel! You just took a lot of advantage in the morning, and now you want to do empty-handed business."

"Yes! Although that kid is not smart, he is not really stupid! It's too obvious that you did this!"

"It's really unlucky, stupid old women!"

"You?"

For a while, everyone vented their resentment on Liu Erniang, making the always unscrupulous Liu Erniang so angry that she didn't dare to say anything.

"It's all because of that stupid thing Wang Hu." Liu Erniang spat in hatred.

Everyone talked about other things for a while. The sunset had set and the sky was dark. Everyone returned to their homes.

When they returned to the home at the east end of the village, it was already dark.

Wang Laoshi started a fire and started cooking. He took out another pickled rabbit. He had to make do with it first, otherwise he would starve!

What surprised Wang Laoshi was that Wang Laowu actually helped him to cook, and there was no sense of rawness. This discovery made Wang Laoshi overjoyed.

Having a brother who can help him at home and someone who can listen to his complaints made him feel that he was real, not a lonely ghost.

Life also had motivation, and Wang Laoshi's young face also had more smiles!

In these years, he pretended to be confused with the knowledge in his heart. It was not that he didn't know that he was at a disadvantage, but he didn't want to know. Anyway, whether he was at a disadvantage or not, he was a person, but now it's different! He has a brother around him, and he has to be responsible for his life. He can't be as casual as before!

Although his brain is not very smart, he is not stupid.

He knows who is really good to him, who has a plan for him, who can be friends with him, and who can't be friends with him. He always has a scale in his heart.

Over the years, he has been talking nonsense and offended many people. Everyone avoids him, except Wang Hu, who remains the same.

Even before I gave him a bed, Wang Hu had never bullied me, let alone taken advantage of me. After giving him a bed, Wang Hu gave him the open space in the back mountain and taught him the skills to catch prey, while he went to a farther place.

Wang Laoshi knew that Wang Hu was worth making friends with!

There were only a few people in the entire Xinghua Village who could catch his eye!

Although he was not a hermit or a rich man, he had his own pride, and not everyone could enter his heart.

Therefore, he would rather become brothers with a stranger.

Extraordinary people do extraordinary things!

Whether a person is noble or poor, it does not hinder the nobility in his heart. Everyone has a piece of pure land in his heart, which has nothing to do with anything outside!

So people in this world, don't think you control everything, and don't treat others as fools!

If you take advantage of human affairs, you will inevitably suffer losses from the way of heaven; if you suffer losses from human affairs, you will inevitably get feedback from the way of heaven; which one is stronger, the way of heaven or human affairs, there is no need to say more!

However, how many people in the world can really understand the truth?

The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency, but the way of man is not the same. It reduces the deficiency to serve the surplus, so the way of heaven lasts forever, while the way of man is only a hundred years!
