Chapter 244 You Must Respect the Elderly
At dusk, a group of old people cried and shouted back to the village, accusing the thieves of their cruelty.
If Li Banfeng were present, he would have to give them a few words of advice.
It is necessary to be ruthless, but if you are not ruthless, can you rob?
I've tried both soft and hard ones, to no avail.
Several villages discussed it and decided that the disciples of the saint would have to come forward in this matter.
The heart that was given to the saint was snatched away by the robbers. The disciples of the saint cannot just watch!
But the saint's disciples are not easy to talk to, and they will hit people if they don't get what they want.
The villagers were very sincere. They were beaten and scolded all because of their sincerity towards the saint.
They knelt down in front of the saint's disciples and asked them to inform Saint Peak of the situation they encountered in the village.
Now it was the disciples' turn to be in trouble.
The villagers are showing their sincerity to the saint. They are the disciples of the saint and cannot ignore this matter.
They are all ruthless people. No matter how young a child is, they will hit them whenever they raise their hands.
But beating a child is one thing, but dealing with a robber is another.
The child was beaten and did not dare to fight back.
The robbers will beat them without mercy.
Finally, three disciples were brave enough to agree to the matter and went up the mountain overnight to deliver a message to the saint.
Can they go to Sage Peak?
able.
This area is bounded by mountains, and there is more than one road to Sage Peak. It is impossible for Li Banfeng to set up an ambush on every road.
Besides, he wanted to rob money, so he couldn't do it just by seeing someone in the aisle.
The three disciples put on coarse clothes, pretended to be farmers, and sent the news to Sage Peak.
As disciples of a saint, don’t they have any cultivation at all?
Not really.
There are also differences among the disciples. Disciples with advanced cultivation all live on the Sage Peak and do not go down the mountain to give lectures.
In the courtyard of the deep house, the young man who opened the door to Li Banfeng stood under the porch and through the door, waiting for the master's order.
Rapid breathing could be heard in the room, and Master was practicing.
After his breathing subsided a little, the young man finally heard his master's voice: "This person claims to be the salesman's senior brother?"
The young man replied: "That's what the villagers said. It's probably because this person is talking nonsense."
"That's not necessarily the case. This person came uninvited and caused so much trouble. He must have some foundation. Let Jingzhang and Wenlie come down and teach him a lesson first."
The young man agreed, the sound of breathing in the room sounded again, and the master began to practice again.
After leaving the house, the young man went to the other two houses and called the two senior brothers Qu Jingzhang and Ren Wenlie over.
After hearing the master's instructions, the two disciples figured out the context of the matter and immediately went down the mountain to find Li Banfeng.
It's not difficult to find Li Banfeng.
During these days, more than 200 people from various villages and places came to seek refuge with Li Banfeng. These people were all from other places and wanted to leave but couldn't.
As there were more people, the momentum became bigger. At first they lived in caves, but then the caves were no longer enough, and everyone began to build wooden houses. The wooden houses were lined up in a row, and it became a mountain village.
Li Banfeng named the village Engong Village.
Qu Jingzhang and Ren Wenlie were both in their early fifties. They each put on a pair of coarse cloth shorts with several layers of patches on them. They looked like poor people at first glance.
When the two arrived at Engong Village, they met Niu Guangda and Fang Lianfu who were patrolling outside the village, and asked them for a drink of water.
Fang Lianfu asked these two people: "Are you from other places coming here to beg for food?"
Qu Jingzhang shook his head and said: "We are not beggars, we are all locals. If we don't want food, we just want a sip of water."
Niu Guangda frowned and said, "You are locals. Why don't you go to the village and go to the mountains and forests to ask for water from us?"
Ren Wenlie sighed and said: "Young man, how are you talking? How can we deceive you into talking at our age?
Even if you bring us a bowl of cold water from the well, we will still owe you a favor. You went back and forth and interrogated us several times, as if we were thieves. "
Niu Guangda blinked his eyes and said, "I just asked, nothing else..."
Fang Lianfu blushed: "We are also young and don't know much about etiquette. You two wait, I will ask someone to make tea for you and get you some snacks."
It was originally a very suspicious thing for two farmers to go to the barren mountains and ridges to ask for water.
After letting these two people say a few words, Niu Guangda and Fang Lianfu felt very guilty.
After drinking tea and eating snacks, Qu Jingzhang burped and said: "Young students, didn't I teach you that respecting the elderly is the foundation of human beings? Don't you have time to grow old?
When you reach our age and you are interrogated like thieves when you are out of the house, will you feel better? "
Niu Guangda and Fang Lianfu were blushing and speechless for a long time.
Ren Wenlie stretched out and said, "Young man, is there a place to rest? We won't be staying for a long time. We feel really tired, so we just need to take a nap."
Niu Guangda and Fang Lianfu were in a dilemma.
No outsiders can be left in the village. This is the rule set by the benefactor.
But these two old men, at such an old age, just wanted to take a nap here, and they refused to agree to anything, which was hard on their conscience.
The two brothers discussed for a while and said to the two of them: "I will take you to our residence to sleep for a while. You two have to leave before dark."
Ren Wenlie smacked his lips and said, "What do you mean by this? Why can we still hang on? Why are the young people like this now? How did your parents teach you?"
The two brothers said nothing more and quietly returned to their own house with the two old men. Just as the two old men were about to enter the house, they suddenly saw a man wearing a top hat and a beard walking over.
"What are you doing? Instead of patrolling properly, you are going back to your house to be lazy?"
When they saw that it was Li Banfeng, Niu Guangda and Fang Lianfu lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Qu Jingzhang and Ren Wenlie looked at each other. It seemed that this bearded man was the person they were looking for.
Ren Wenlie spoke first: "My good man, don't blame these two young men. We were just passing by and wanted to find a place to rest. These two young men were kind and found a place for us."
Qu Jingzhang continued: "We are so old, asking for a place to stay here, are we breaking any rules?"
Li Banfeng quickly said: "You two have misunderstood. Respecting the elderly is the foundation of being a human being. No matter what the rules are, respecting the elderly must come first.
The two children's house is messy and dirty. It is not appropriate for the two old people to rest here. Old man, please follow me and go directly to where I live."
Qu Jingzhang and Ren Wenlie followed Li Banfeng into the cave without making a sound.
Ren Wenlie looked around and said, "You live here?"
Qu Jingzhang sighed, "Why did you lie to us, man? You are the leader of this group of people, how can you live in such a place?"
Li Banfeng bowed his head and said, "Excuse me, I don't like living in a house, I like living in a cave."
Qu Jingzhang frowned and said, "Is it appropriate for you to tell such a joke to two old people like us?"
Ren Wenlie said, "Did your parents teach you what the rules are for talking to the elderly?"
Li Banfeng answered truthfully, "I really didn't teach you this."
As he spoke, Li Banfeng was sweating profusely, but he didn't notice it because the brim of his hat was pressed down low enough.
The other party used the technique of moral cultivation - seeing virtue and thinking of emulating virtue.
Under the technique, the other party set a very high moral standard for Li Banfeng, causing Li Banfeng to fall into self-blame and guilt under the other party's criticism.
Can this technique be resisted?
It depends on the cultivation of both parties.
Judging from the current situation, Qu Jingzhang and Ren Wenlie's cultivation levels are both around the fifth level, which is equivalent to Li Banfeng's home cultivation, but the two of them worked together to make Li Banfeng suffer a lot.
"Little brother, can you hold on?"
The wine gourd and the blood-containing pendulum are using the mind cultivation technique to help Li Banfeng stay awake, but Li Banfeng has too many thoughts and the situation is difficult to reverse for a while.
Meng De is hanging on the rock wall of the cave and is also helping secretly.
Thanks to Li Banfeng's full preparation, otherwise it would be impossible to hold on until now.
He looked at the two people and said with a smile: "I give you tea, snacks, and find you a place to live. You are here to complain and pick on things.
Didn't your parents teach you etiquette? You are old, and you do things so unruly. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
The two were stunned. They didn't expect Li Banfeng to say such words.
Qu Jingzhang said angrily: "How do you talk to an old man?"
Ren Wenlie said: "Don't you have family education? Don't you know how to respect the elderly?"
Li Banfeng glanced at the two and asked: "We should ask you this question. Do you know how to respect the elderly? I am older than you, do you know?"
Qu Jingzhang was stunned for a long time and didn't say anything.
Ren Wenlie sneered: "You said this, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Li Banfeng stared at Ren Wenlie and said: "How many teeth do you have? Are they so easy to fall out?
I am the peddler's senior brother. I have eaten more salt than you have walked on bridges. Why are you pretending to be old in front of me?
When you were born, I didn't know where I was. You two were born by your mother but not raised by your mother. How do you talk to the elderly? Didn't your mother teach you the rules?"
Li Banfeng's words were upside down, but most of them were facts.
But Qu Jingzhang and Ren Wenlie were not concerned about the facts. They only focused on one question. Is this man really the peddler's senior brother?
If he is really the peddler's senior brother, isn't it too stupid to show off his skills in front of him?
Seeing their tangled expressions, Li Banfeng was confident that he would succeed in both his words and his foolishness.
Li Banfeng pointed at the two and shouted, "Do you have any shame? If you still know how to be shabby, go out and stand there to reflect on yourself!"
Qu Jingzhang and Ren Wenlie were not sure whether Li Banfeng's words were true or false. After some entanglement, they made a decision to leave this place for the time being.
If Li Banfeng is really the peddler's senior brother, the two of them can live until now, all thanks to Li Banfeng's kindness.
If Li Banfeng is not the peddler's senior brother, anyway, he already knows where he lives, and it won't be too late to find a suitable opportunity to deal with him.
The two said nothing more and turned to leave the cave.
This is a stupid move.
A fool is worried about gains and losses.
This is the most favorable choice for Li Banfeng.
Other people from the Taoist sect should never leave their backs to the travel cultivator, otherwise there will be no chance to turn back.
Li Banfeng took a sudden step and crushed a stone on the ground.
Several pieces of broken stones hit the back of the two people's heads.
PS: "I have eaten more salt than you have walked on bridges." Is this sentence right or wrong?
