Epissue 28: On the dew, He Yixi, when will people return 2
The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and with the wild north wind, it is simply difficult for people to walk.
Although it was still dusk, it was so dark that it was difficult to recognize the road ahead. On the snowy street, a four-carried soft sedan chair was hurried on the way. The sedan chair man and the matan who trotted beside the sedan chair were covered with snowflakes, and it looked like a snow-white tar coat.
When the team passed Zhuque Street, there was a man in the middle of the road. The snow had not covered him up. He should have fallen soon. The sedan chair stopped, and the old man lifted the curtain and asked the master what he meant.
"Someone fainted on the road? Put down the sedan chair and let me see him."
After falling from the sedan chair, a young lady in a peacock feather came down. With the help of her Mother, she went down to the man on the road and called several times before she heard a weak moan. The sedan chairman helped him up. It turned out to be an old beggar. The broken bowl in his hand was full of snow. It seemed that he hadn't eaten for a long time.
The young lady immediately ordered the old lady to take out a bag of meat dumplings in the sedan chair for him to eat, and went to a nearby shop that was not closed and asked for a bowl of hot water for him to drink. After the old beggar sat in the middle of the road and had a big meal, he knelt down and kowtowed three heads to her: "Miss, today's great kindness, the old man doesn't know how to repay. There is a treasure handed down beside me. I can't use it when I stay by my side. If the young lady doesn't mind, I will accept it. It's my wish."
"Don't say that, uncle. If you are on the way, can I still leave it alone?" The young lady shook her head with a smile, "Come on, go to the sedan chair. My house is not far ahead. When I get there, I'll ask someone to find you warm clothes."
The old beggar pushed away her hand in fear and kowtowed deeply: "Miss's kindness is well received by the old man. Miss is a kind-hearted person, and God will bless you. It's just that I really can't live for a few days, so I don't bother the young lady. I dare not ask others to take the baby in my hand. Please accept it!"
The young lady looked worried: "Shall we go to the house and talk about it later?"
"If the young lady doesn't agree, the old man dares not go."
Mister gently touched her master's arm: "Miss, I see that this old man is deliberately choosing someone worth entrusting on the road. You might as well agree first, otherwise he won't get up, and if he goes on like this, he won't live tonight." The young lady had no choice but to agree to accept his return gift, so she persuaded him to get into the sedan chair and take him home.
In Jiaoping City, everyone knows that the richest Bai family is happy and kind. This young lady is the only daughter of Master Bai. She came back so late because she went outside the city to help the tenants who were not paid due to the flood. At this time, she took an old beggar who was frozen all over the house, and the servants immediately got busy and arranged for the old man. The guest room sent hot water and clean clothes.
Miss Bai also went back to the room to have a rest. After understanding the situation, she went to the passenger compartment with her father to visit the old man.
The old beggar was lying on **. Seeing that they came in and were busy getting out of bed, he was persuaded by Bai's father and daughter to go back.
"The old man is not feeling well. Do you need to ask the doctor to come and have a look?" Master Bai sat down by the bed and asked with concern.
"No, no, it's like a dream that an old man can have a full meal and sleep in the bed. It's like a dream." The old beggar choked and held Mr. Bai tightly with his frost-sore-stained hand.
The little maidservant who served him came forward and said, "Sir, Miss, do you need to throw away the old gentleman's bowl, canes and changed clothes for new ones?" Don't throw it, don't throw it! My walking stick must not be thrown away!" The old beggar waved quickly.
"If you don't throw it, I'll keep it for you and put it outside the door." Miss Bai put his hand back in the quilt.
The old beggar looked at their father and daughter, sighed and said, "I heard that the Bai family is the most kind, and everyone is as kind as a living Bodhisattva. It's true to see them today."
Master Bai smiled and said, "The old man is joking. Bai can stand on the cross-screen. He is the care of the villagers. How can he enjoy himself alone?"
The old beggar looked at him with emotion, and suddenly became solemn: "Mr. Bai, Miss Bai, the old man has a very important thing to ask you. Please promise me anyway!"
"If there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow. Have a good rest tonight..." Miss Bai said.
"This matter cannot be delayed."
The maidservant took in the cane as ordered. The old beggar somehow played drumming for a while and turned out a brush from the cane and handed it to Miss Bai with both hands.
"This is..." Miss Bai also took it with both hands, but her face was puzzled.
The old beggar took Mr. Bai's hand again: "This is a magic pen, which can realize all people's wishes, can resurrect people who have just swallowed his breath, or let healthy people die immediately, and draw whatever they have."
Bai's father and daughter looked at each other and didn't believe it.
"But this magic pen can't be used indiscriminately. If it is not used to help people, but for personal gain and harm others, then the magic pen will punish you," the old beggar said, with a strange light in his eyes. "Master Bai, Miss Bai, the people in the whole city know that you are good people and will never harm others. This pen Only by handing it over to your father and daughter can I help more people, and I can rest assured.
After that, the old beggar chattered a lot. Miss Bai repeatedly assured him that he would make good use of this pen, and the old man finally slept at ease.
The next morning, before Bai's father and daughter got up, the maid came in a panic to tell them that the old beggar was missing and didn't bring anything. They even took off their clothes and put them aside.
Master Bai immediately understood that it was the arrival of a fairy. He specially sent a magic pen to their father and daughter as a reward, so he pulled his daughter and set up the incense burner sacrifice in the yard and worshipped the sky.

Han Ruxu has been idle for a month. Throughout March, he has been living in a teahouse and pub, with a lot of salary. It's really a fairy day.
"So what on earth are you sighing?" Wei Tanyi picked up the teacup and said dissatisfiedly.
It's enough for him to go to the teahouse and restaurant. When he was tired of those crowded places, he turned back to Yuezhai. He didn't know how many times he sighed all day, and everyone was bored and unconscious.
"I always feel that something is going to happen..." Han Ruxu shaved his hair hard and said so.
Wei Tanyi glanced at him and said calmly, "I also feel that something is going to happen, so I specially asked quenching to make preparations."
Han Ru was shocked: "What are you going to prepare? Do you know what's going to happen?"
This is because Si Sihuan happily ran back, holding a food box in his hand. Seeing Han Ruqi sitting in the store, he squeezed his mouth and smiled and said, "The master really expected everything."
Han Ruxu felt more and more strange. He was still in the dark. They had already learned what was going to happen? Are you ready? But why does that food box look wrong...
"I expected that Lord Han had an idle personality. Sooner or later, he would come to my place to complain," Wei Tanyi brought water and washed the tea set. "So I specially asked the quenching Si to go to Tianranju to buy longevity cake. How about going to enjoy the spring today?"
Very good, I was fooled again. Han Ruqi grinded his teeth, but he had to admit that Wei Tan's clothes were right. Did this guy know him better than he thought? What about yourself? Do you know him well enough? Thinking about it, a young man in blue came in from outside the door and said to Wei Tanyi, "Mr. Wei, Your Highness, please enter the palace."
Wei Tanyi held the food box and shook his head innocently: "Your Highness can't always come so suddenly. Wei is a businessman and always has business to do. How can he be on call? Please take a word and say that you have an appointment with someone to do business today. If your Highness has nothing urgent, you'd better make an appointment in advance to invite me to tea another day.
The young man in blue panicked and said, "Your Highness, you really have to see the prince immediately if you have something important this time. Please don't embarrass the little one. Let me go to the palace."
After all, it still happened. Han Ruxu came forward and said, "I guess it really happened. What guest can do more than Your Highness?" The secret is that even if there is any loss, the prince will compensate you, not to mention that you have no business to do at all.
"It's not easy to do, Lord Han," Wei Tanyi said distressed, "I really have to meet someone outside the city. - Why don't Lord Han run around for me and send this box of pastries?"
"To whom?"
"Cui Jin."
