Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the cities in the south of the Yangtze River have become increasingly prosperous.

The opening of the Grand Canal during the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty led to smooth north-south traffic and fast logistics, and merchants could freely conduct commercial trade throughout the country by virtue of the convenience of the canal, so that the number of merchants on both sides of the canal surged in a few years, and the entire Jiangnan showed a thriving atmosphere.

Yangzhou City is catching up with the day of the temple fair.

The streets are bustling, the vendors are shouting at the top of their voices, and no one wants to let go of the best time of the year.

A child named Hanako, her clothes were in tatters, and she seemed to be stained with dry blood. His hair was fluffy, and his face was so thick with mud and dirt that he couldn't really see his appearance, only those big black eyes, but he could still see that they were as clear as two springs of water.

He was tall and thin, with a skeletal appearance, and in his hand, a clay bowl that was almost half broken, slowly paced to a bun shop, and swallowed vigorously.

The steamed bun shop was full of customers, and the boss was very busy, squinting at him, waving his hand like a fly: "Go, go, don't get in the way here!"

A hint of cunning crossed the eyes of the little screaming Huazi, and suddenly launched an attack on the bun cage, reached out and grabbed the two buns and ran out, stuffing them into his mouth while running, and before he ran far, the two buns had already been sacrificed into his five internal organs temple.

The boss was furious when he saw this, and he couldn't pay attention to the customers anymore, so he called two guys, picked up sticks and chased after them.

The three of them had six legs, and after all, they caught up with the two legs of the little Hanako, and he was pressed to the ground and kicked with a stick, and his mouth and nose were beaten to the point that dripping blood oozed from his mouth and nose.

The strange thing is that this flower child neither begged for mercy nor dodged, but grinned and kept chanting: "Fight well, fight well, fight harder, don't be like itching!

There were a lot of onlookers, but none of them could understand what he was saying, so they could only point and poke, shaking their heads and sighing while watching.

The boss vented for a while, and his reason was up, not only afraid of causing trouble with his life, but also knowing that he couldn't take out the copper plate that paid for the bun, he took his hand angrily, took the guy back, and spat on him before leaving.

The boss walked away, and the crowd gradually dispersed, and Hanako got up from the ground, stumbling and moving on.

Walked to the corner of the street, picked up a wine jug, shook it, and found that there was still a lot of leftover wine, immediately overjoyed, raised his head and drank wildly, shouting while drinking: "Cool, cool, life can be so happy, what more can you ask for?"

After eating and drinking, Hanako burped and left Yangzhou City drunk, and walked to a ruined temple on the outskirts, which was his home.

When I arrived at the gate of the temple, I overheard someone talking in the temple.

He didn't care, he walked straight in, fell on the straw mat full of holes at the foot of the Buddha statue, and slept with his head covered. There were often other beggars staying in the temple, and he never greeted them or drove them out.

I heard a person say: "I said that you are a person who is born to oppose me, right? If I want to go east, you have to go west. Now I want to sleep, and you want me to eat!"

The other one, presumably Na Bidezhi, replied: "If you don't mention your name, you will be angry when you mention me, and we can't ask for food all day long, just because you are so good that you don't ask for food, so why should people give you alms?"

Mo Qiang begged: "Don't force the things of life, there is a turning point in the landscape." I think everything is real, but in fact, my eyes are full of vanity. That's where my name comes from, and you spend all day thinking about asking for a few bites of food, how can you understand the mystery?"

Bi Deyi bent down when he heard the laughter, "You are just a stinky person who wants food, and there is a mystery in your name?"

Mo Qiang said angrily: "I told you to look down on me, and I will explain it to you today! Do you think that everything you see in your eyes every day is true? Actually, hmph! That is called seeing flowers in the fog, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood! If you are wrong in the first place, but you repeatedly insist on it, then you will be more and more wrong. ”

As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and I don't believe what I see with my own eyes, so what do I believe?"

Mo Qiang begged: "Whether it is the ears or the eyes, they can't resist the heart, ask you if the feeling in your heart is the same as the feeling you see in your eyes?"

At this point, the two of them secretly glanced at Hanako, and saw the person lying at the foot of the Buddha statue, and his body shook suddenly.
