Chapter 53: Saving the Turtle with 100 Gold
Su Peng logged into the game and went online on the second floor of Haikeju.
Walked out of the second floor, just saw a notice on the first floor, the merchant ship officially boarded the ship at three o'clock, Su Peng settled the room fee, walked out of the Haikeju Inn, and went to the port to prepare to take the boat.
As soon as he went out, Su Peng saw eight or nine chivalrous women with weapons walking in front of him, but it was Huo Sijie and his group, these chivalrous women and young people didn't have much to do, most of the fathers were people who had made some fame in the rivers and lakes, and they were all fledgling at this time, planning to mix up some names, but they didn't know the direction of the road, so they were wandering in the rivers and lakes, and the direction they went to at this time was also the direction of the port.
Su Peng didn't have a common language with them, and he didn't want to travel with them, so he slowed down, and at this time, Su Peng suddenly found that the down-to-earth middle-aged scribe also walked out of the inn, and the man also saw Su Peng, and nodded slightly to say hello.
For this scribe, Su Peng still has a good impression in his heart, this person looks quite magnanimous, and his eyesight is extraordinary, maybe it is not so boring to chat, Su Peng walked over, arched his hand and said: "Hello sir, I am Jiangning Su Peng, Mr. Jian the day before yesterday has a majestic appearance, and there seems to be a splendid article in his chest, which is quite admirable...... Sir, are you going to the port to board the ship now? How about not being as good as your peers? ”
When the scribe heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "Falsely praised, I am Fu Yi of Liangzhou, a down-and-out scholar, how dare I be so praised?" But I went to the port, so I asked for it. ”
"That's very good." Su Peng nodded, and walked towards the port with the scribe Fu Yi.
The two walked and chatted, Su Peng chatted with this Fu Yi, but felt that this person was polite, knowledgeable, and insightful, but a good chat partner, and this Fu Yi felt that Su Peng's conversation and insight seemed to be very novel, and he also had a good impression of Su Peng whenever he had unique and novel views.
After going back and forth, the two felt that the conversation was very speculative, but the relationship was much closer.
The two of them were walking here, and suddenly saw that there seemed to be a lot of people gathered in front of them, Su Peng's eyesight was very good, and he glanced at it and said, "Huh? Isn't that the master of the Dakong Temple of Futu Mountain, who hurriedly took a photo in the Haike Residence the day before yesterday? And the people around him, it seems that they are all rich businessmen he saw that day, what are they doing there? ”
Fu Yi also saw these people and said, "You might as well come forward and take a look." ”
Su Peng nodded, and the two walked over slowly.
Walking over, I found that there were really a lot of people around here, I am afraid that there were dozens of people, that Huo Sijie and a group of chivalrous women and heroines also gathered there to watch the excitement, Su Peng and Fu Yi walked in, only to see that in the center of the crowd, there was a sharp-beaked monkey gills, who looked a little cunning and snarky, wearing shabby clothes like fishermen, arguing with people there, and in front of him, there was a huge big turtle, shrunk in the shell.
The big turtle is very large, I am afraid that people are standing on the turtle shell, this turtle can crawl away with people, the turtle shell is also extremely thick, a touch of cyan, no texture, almost as high as a person's calf.
"It's such a big turtle, I don't know how long Lu Dao has lived." Among the onlookers, someone said.
And in the crowd, the group of wealthy businessmen were arguing over something with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and the sharp-looking people.
After listening for a while, Su Peng probably understood, this sharp-beaked monkey cheek person, claiming to be a fisherman, fishing in the sea and catching a giant turtle, felt that the strange goods were liveable, so he took it to the market to sell, but no one bought his turtle for a long time, this person was anxious, took out a knife and said to kill the turtle and bleed, make his own soup and drink, and at this time, just the Zen master and the rich businessmen of the Dakong Temple of the Futu Mountain passed by, the Zen master of the Dakong Temple felt that the turtle had been for years, and it was not easy to live until now, so the hawker let the turtle live, and the hawker insisted on refusing, so the Zen master's ' The fans' wealthy businessmen quarreled with him.
At this time, I only heard the peddler shouting: "I picked up this turtle, it is mine, I want to kill it, drink soup and drink soup, I want to eat meat and eat meat, why do you stop me?" Did you catch it? ”
"You peddler, why are you so unsympathetic? The Zen master of Dakong Temple guides you to be kind, why can't you listen to anything? There is really no Huigen! A wealthy merchant said, pointing to the fisherman's hawker's nose.
"Humph! I feel that you are all rich businessmen and tycoons in Hong Kong, I don't know what my difficulties are, how many times can I eat meat a year? Compassion as a meal? No way! The fisherman with the monkey's cheeks shouted.
"Amitabha Buddha ......" is said to be a white-eyed Zen master from Dakong Temple, at this time recited a Buddha name, and said: "All living beings are equal, this turtle has peace and sin, and it is going to suffer this calamity?" When I look at this turtle, I am afraid that it has a lifespan of 100 years, but it is really not easy, and I can't bear to suffer this disaster...... Such a life should be released into the sea, and let it have a way to live. ”
"The master is compassionate to the heavens and people, compassionate and graceful to all things, and he is really a monk!" Around this Baimei Zen Master, a group of wealthy businessmen couldn't help but praise each other, Su Peng heard Fu Yi say, these people are businessmen near this coastal city, often run the river and sea trade, are very rich, a few days ago I don't know how to contact the Baimei Zen Master of the Dakong Temple, it seems that listening to the Zen Master talk about Buddhism and listening to the fascination, these people not only rent a courtyard for the Baimei Zen Master in the sea guest house, but also listen to the Baimei Zen Master preaching every day, but like serving the disciples of the Zen Master.
"Your peddler, I don't know what to do, the Zen master of the Dakong Temple has spoken, why don't you take this opportunity to form a good fate and release this big turtle?"
Among the young chivalrous women who watched onlookers, some people couldn't help it, the Dakong Temple of Futu Mountain has a special status in the martial arts, although it is not explicitly written, but it is faintly the leader of the righteous path, the disciples of the Dakong Temple to the head of the righteous sect are all courteous, those chivalrous women are used to being influenced by their parents, and their hearts have long stood on the side of the white-eyed Zen master, and they said at this time.
When the fisherman and vendor heard this, he immediately stopped doing it, and said, "The turtle I have worked so hard to catch, you say you will release it?" Do you appear to be merciful? Compassion is for nothing? I want to be a good person...... It's okay, take the money, buy my turtle, and release it yourself! ”
"This person is so angry!" The chivalrous girl who spoke just now suddenly felt angry and uncomfortable, and spoke.
Huo Sijie stood in this group of chivalrous young women, but moved his mind, the disciples of the Dakong Temple of Futu Mountain are not easy to meet, looking at the appearance of this Zen master, I am afraid that the seniority is not low, he has just learned the arts, and what he has fought for is a reputation, and making friends with decent masters is also a path to fame, he has the heart to make friends with this Zen master, it is better to sell one at this time, pay some money, and buy this turtle.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but step forward and shouted: "How much is your turtle, I bought it!" ”
"You? Can you afford it? The sharp-beaked monkey-cheek peddler heard this and immediately shouted.
"How much can a turtle sell for?" Huo Sijie smiled proudly, he is also quite confident in his net worth, this time he walked the rivers and lakes, his uncle privately gave him fifty taels of gold for expenses, fifty taels of gold, if you let Su Peng's method calculate, it is equivalent to 750,000 yuan, in this game of agricultural society, it is a very strong value!
"I want a hundred taels of gold!" The hawker with the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks shouted loudly as if singing, and this one shouted quite loudly, and the aftermath shook all around.
"One hundred taels of gold?"
As soon as this sentence was said, the surrounding voices were silent, but it didn't take long for it to cause a tidal wave of discussions.
"This man wants money and wants to go crazy, a broken turtle wants a hundred taels of gold? If you don't have money, you should lose your mind! ”
"If I were this Zen master, I would slap it, this is a slander!"
"Look at it, I think if that Zen master is really compassionate, he can give it out if he wants a hundred taels, otherwise it is false compassion."
"What about the young man? It seems that he is very hard-spoken, can he take out a hundred taels of gold? ”
Huo Sijie's face was a little red at this time, and his breathing was slightly rougher, he thought that this little seller of this turtle was only a few dozen taels of silver, and it was only a tael of gold to die, and it was a good deal to buy it and make friends with the monks of Dakong Temple, but he didn't expect that this crazy fisherman hawker would open his mouth to be a hundred taels of gold!
Although I want to make friends with the Zen master of Dakong Temple, the price of one hundred taels of gold is too great, right? If you have that money, you might as well go directly to Dakong Temple to donate, and you can get a good merit card, your name is engraved on the merit tablet, Huo Sijie is completely reluctant to give up a hundred taels of gold, besides, his entire net worth is only fifty taels of gold, where can he get it?
"You peddler, you're crazy about money!" Those chivalrous young men and heroines, seeing Huo Sijie deflated, couldn't help but be angry, and scolded the fishermen and hawkers.
"Are you crazy? A broken turtle costs a hundred taels of gold? I don't think a hundred dollars is worth it! ”
Among the wealthy merchants, some people scolded the fisherman and peddler.
The fisherman rolled his eyes and said, "What's the matter?" I'm still too cheap, haven't you heard of the old turtle and the pearl? The old turtle lives to be more than a hundred years old, and the tortoise shell ribs may give birth to a jewel, this tortoise is afraid that it is more than a hundred years old, if it is really killed and dug out of the beads, a hundred taels is still cheap! ”
Hearing this, the rich merchants were speechless for a while, they are all people who live near the sea, and they have indeed heard similar legends, if they really want to do that, dig out a few night pearls, and a hundred taels of gold really can't stop it.
"Amitabha...... The poor monk asked the benefactor to release this turtle, but what kind of jewel did he covet? This is just pity for this turtle......" The white-eyed Zen master recited the Buddha's name again, and then looked at the big turtle, his eyes slightly closed, and he seemed to be extremely sad.
And those wealthy merchants, seeing the sad appearance of this Zen master of the Great Empty Temple, looked at each other one by one, not knowing how to do it.
Su Peng and Fu Yi watched around for a long time, and when they saw this scene, Su Peng had a slight playful smile on his face, and said to Fu Yi on the side: "Mr. Fu, do you see a little doorway?" ”
"Watching chess is silent, true gentleman." Fu Yi smiled slightly and said to Su Peng.
Su Peng listened, and said in his heart that this Fu Yi was really a clear-eyed person, so he didn't say anything and continued to watch the play.
"The master is sad! What a sin I am! I think fifteen taels of gold! Everyone paid to buy this turtle and release it to the master! ”
At this time, a wealthy businessman suddenly shouted.
After hearing the words of this rich businessman, those people around him who were about the same net worth as him immediately woke up, and someone shouted: "I will give ten taels of gold!" ”
"I'll give twenty taels of gold!"
These wealthy businessmen, one by one, shouted loudly as if bidding, and of course, there were a few stingy ones, thinking about it and retreating.
"Since you are in our land, how can you make the master sad? Although a hundred taels of gold is a lot, it is not a sky-high price, so many of us still can't take it out? I made up a hundred taels of gold for him and released it to the master! ”
The rich businessman in the lead looked left and right, said, and then looked at Huo Sijie and said, "That young man, do you still pay?" ”
"I ......" Huo Sijie listened, he couldn't help but feel his head big, he thought for a long time, endured the pain in his flesh, and said: "I have three taels of gold......"
"It's only three or two?" When the rich businessman heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Huo Sijie with contempt, and said in his heart that the person you are wearing looks like a dog, it turns out that he is also a stingy poor ghost, so he couldn't help but wave his hand and said: "You don't need three or two, you can keep your own flowers." ”
Then the man muttered in a low voice: "It turned out to be a poor ghost, what kind of face do you want if you have no money......"
This sentence is not big or small, but it just made the group of young heroes behind Huo Sijie hear it, these people couldn't help but look at Huo Sijie, Huo Sijie's hated teeth were about to bite out blood at this time, if these companions thought that they were a stingy person, how could their chivalrous name be spread?
"I ...... You...... You heard me wrong, I mean I paid ten taels of gold. Huo Sijie's heart was dripping blood, and he said with pain in his flesh.
"Good! This man has less than ten taels of gold! The rich businessman immediately made friends loudly, and Huo Sijie was difficult to ride the tiger, and he hated it in his heart.
"Those two knights, don't you pay for it?" At this time, the rich businessman's eyes suddenly fell on Su Peng and Fu Yi, and said to the two.
When Su Peng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, he actually apportioned it to himself?
"Hehe, you can see that I don't have a lot of money in this outfit, but I should ask this young man." Fu Yi said with a smile, then took half a step back and let go of Su Pengdao.
Su Peng suddenly became angry, seeing that this Fu Yi seemed to be serious, and he seemed to be a person with a narrow atmosphere in his bones, he sold himself first before he had a deep friendship, but he was not really angry, he shook his head and said: "I walk the rivers and lakes, it is not easy to make money, but I feel that eating is more important than releasing turtles, and this gold will not come out." ”
"I'm a stinger, too." The rich merchant's face suddenly became less enthusiastic, so he repeated his tricks and muttered.
How can Su Peng be rigid if he has no desire, he is strong with his strong breeze blowing on the hills, he lets him cross the bright moon and shine on the river, the old god is there, his face is not red or white, he didn't hear it.
When the rich businessman saw Su Peng behaving like this, he said in his heart that this person didn't seem to be big, but he looked like an old Jianghu, and he didn't want a few over there, he seemed to be powerful but tender, so he didn't harass Su Peng and went to raise funds by himself.
At this time, Huo Sijie was cutting meat and taking out ten taels of gold, but when he saw Su Peng 'unharmed', he suddenly felt hatred in his heart, and he felt that this person was hateful in the store the day before yesterday, and at this time, he felt even more hateful, and wanted to drag Su Peng into the water, and said: "That person over there, you have been watching the excitement for a long time?" Isn't there any kindness? Or are you just an iron rooster, and the people in Jiangning are as hairless as you? ”
"I, Jiangning people, have money and like to save those who really need help, and I don't like to save turtles. However, Huo Shaoxia was rich, so naturally he didn't distinguish between people and turtles, and saved them together. Su Peng said lightly.
This statement is quite damaging to the atmosphere, but those rich businessmen are in a thick atmosphere at this time, and Su Peng's words are selectively ignored.
Finally, the group of wealthy merchants, plus the ten taels of gold contributed by Huo Sijie, finally gathered enough one hundred taels of gold, and put them all in a bag, and the rich merchant in the lead handed it to the fisherman and peddler, saying, "Your gold! ”
When the fisherman saw this, he stepped forward and took the money bag without saying a word, and then he slipped into the crowd in three or two clicks, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
And the white-eyed Zen master finally opened his eyes, squatted down, and held up the big turtle that weighed dozens of catties with one palm.
"Good!" Seeing the hand of the white-eyed Zen master, those rich businessmen couldn't help but applaud.
Su Peng and Huo Sijie and other people in the rivers and lakes were not very surprised, with a single internal force infusion, they could pick up more than three or five times their weight in a short period of time, and Su Peng could easily do it, if this Zen master of Dakong Temple couldn't do it, it would be strange.
"Let's get on the boat and let the master go!" The wealthy merchants clamored, and then followed the white-eyed Zen master and walked towards the port.
"I'll go later, it's time to sail." Fu Yi smiled and said to Su Peng.
Su Peng nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, this scene doesn't seem to be finished yet, I'll wait and continue to see what ending I can sing." ”
With that, the two of them also walked towards the port......
