Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 449 Beggar Immortal 1

Gao Yucheng, the son of the family, has studied medicine since childhood. He has excellent medical skills, and is especially good at acupuncture. Whether you are rich or poor, you should treat them equally and seek medical treatment.

On this day, a beggar came from the city, with abscess on his legs, lying next to the sleeping path, he was covered in blood and smelly. At first sight, Gao Yucheng felt pity and helped the beggar home and took good care of him. A few days later, the beggar's condition improved, but he was sloppy and smelled so bad that he didn't dare to get close.

There are more general disadvantages. Beggars eat a huge amount of food, three meals a day, soup cakes and vegetables, and eat them. The servant was unhappy and said to Gao Yucheng, "The beggar is really abominable! In the past, I used to sleep on the street and sleep in the air. How can I eat and get enough food and clothing? It's good now, white rice. Fruits and vegetables are open to supply, but they are not enough. How can there be such a good thing in the world? If it goes on like this, the family will be eaten up.

Gao Yucheng didn't think so and said with a smile, "How much can a few bowls of rice and a few cabbages cost? He likes to eat, so let him eat enough. That's it. Don't complain anymore.

The servant complained, "Young master, you don't know. It's enough to eat white rice and vegetables, but the thief beggar is shameless and wants to eat dog meat. On this cold day, where can I find a dog to kill him? In addition, the thief and beggar not only eats dog meat, but also drinks. If they don't drink the three penny knife, they have to drink two or two or one pot of apricot spring. Buddha, two taels and a pot of Xinghuachun, even if you sell my whole family, you can't afford it.

Gao Yucheng smiled and said, "Isn't it just two taels of silver? Look at your promising point. Nuo, this is a hundred taels of silver. You keep it well. If the beggar wants to drink, you can drink it with him. If you want to eat meat, you can eat as much as he wants, three meals a day, and meals. All the expenses are all on my head.

The servant sighed and had no choice but to agree.

In the past few weeks, the warm sun hung high and the hard ice melted. Gao Yucheng went to the ward in person to visit the beggar and asked, "How is your health? Have you recovered?"

The beggar said, "The prince's medical skills are like a god. He has flesh and white bones. The old beggar's ancestors have accumulated virtue, and his body and bones have long been restored."

Gao Yucheng said, "That's good. Can you get used to living here? Are there any other requirements?"

The beggar said, "A request, there is really one. Can you change a servant for me?"

Gao Yucheng was surprised and said, "What, the servant's attitude is not good?"

The beggar said, "It's not bad, it's just a bastard. The day before yesterday, I said it was itchy on my back and asked him to scratch it for me. The dog slave rolled his eyes and not only indomitable, but also cursed and greeted my relatives. The old beggar, I have lived for forty or fifty years, and I have never suffered a loss in my life. In the end, the eight generations of my ancestors actually scolded people. Is it tolerant? Can't it be tolerated?

Gao Yucheng said, "This is my fault. I didn't take care of the servants. Don't worry, I'll deal with it." Without saying a word, he found a servant and beat him up.

After the servant was beaten, he held a grudge. This night, while the beggar was asleep, he sneaked into the bedroom and set it on fire. The flames are soaring, and the smoke is rolling.

Gao Yucheng was shocked when he heard the news and hurried to put out the fire, but the flames were fierce. How could he save it? In no time, the house burned down, leaving only a pile of black charcoal.

Gao Yucheng stamped his feet repeatedly and sighed, "It's over, the beggar is over!" When he was angry, a sudden snoring sound came from the flat ground. He stared and saw a quilt rolled up in the waste fire. The beggar hid in the quilt, slept with his head covered, snoring like thunder, and called him up. The beggar rubbed his eyes, pretended to be shocked, and shouted, "Oh, why is the house gone? Fortunately, the old beggar was so lucky that he was not burned to death.

Gao Yucheng was overjoyed and thought, "How can there be a mortal who is not afraid of fire? What a beggar, a real person doesn't show his appearance. It turns out to be a master outside the world. He smiled and said, "The Taoist priest is good at it. He has been together for a long time and hasn't asked for his name yet?"

The beggar said, "The lower people have never read a book and can't make a good name. Call me Chen Jiu."

Gao Yucheng smiled and said, "The Taoist priest is too modest. If you are a low-class ordinary person, wouldn't we be as cheap as a pig or a dog?"

The beggar said, "The prince's words are very mysterious. As the saying goes, all sentient beings are equal. There is no difference between people and pigs and dogs." After saying that, he laughed.

Since then, Gao Yucheng has been closely interturbed with beggars. The beggar's words are elegant, and his chess skills are mysterious. Every time Gao Yucheng plays against him, he will lose every bet. So he restrained his arrogance, worshipped beggars as his teacher, practiced chess hard, accumulated over time, and had a lot of experience.
