Chapter 10 Living

But Costa broke the cold situation in time. It said in surprise: "Fairy Mu Yun, did you teach him his magic just now? So, he is not a guardian of the earth at all..."

"Shut up, don't interrupt!" Mu Yun glared at Costa fiercely and said angrily.

Costa was depressed for a moment, but was unwilling to give in to Lin Ban and said, "Master, I didn't expect you to be so shameless! I said, rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, this is really not a good idea. I suggest you go to another village to steal. Well, I don't mind eating the little suckling pig you stolen. Remember to add more seasonings during the barbecue..."

"Shut up! Things are not what you imagined!" Lin Ban also shouted angrily.

"What's that? I need an explanation!" Mu Yun asked coldly.

Lin Ban opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Lin Ban naturally recognized the old couple just now, that was the lame third brother and his wife.

Lin Ban did steal chickens, dogs, and things from the third family in the village. However, that was a matter of childhood, and there was a reason for it. However, at least part of the third son's words were true, and he could not fully defend them.

For a moment, the two of them fell into silence.

After a while, Lin Ban gritted his teeth and strode towards a small bungalow with only one floor ahead.

"Is this your home?" Mu Yun glanced at the dilapidated bungalows and spoke coldly again.

"Yes." Lin Ban replied in a low voice.

"I won't go to your house!" Mu Yun was silent for a while and suddenly said.

"Why?" Lin Ban asked in surprise.

"Your home is a thief's nest full of stolen goods. If I go in, wouldn't it be clear or not?" Mu Yun's words once again entered Lin Ban's heart like a nail.

Lin Ban rushed up angry. He took a deep breath and finally couldn't help defending himself: "Actually, it was all because I was ignorant before. I went to steal some food when I was hungry. When I was ten years old, I never stole it again. Now my family is home with nothing, so how could it be a thief's nest?"

"What a pity! Is there really nothing, and Is there nothing to eat? Even if there is no roasted suckling pig or roasted whole lamb, is there not even roasted chicken wings?" Costa immediately nagged in disappointment.

"Shut up! You're talking so much." Mu Yun glared at Costa, then glared at Lin Ban, and said disappointedly, "Even if that's the case, you're lazy and lazy, and you hate labor. In short, you're shameless! Moreover, you lied to me, and you made the mistake more wrong!"

"Did you cheat?" Lin Ban was furious when he heard this, and was a little confused.

"Aren't you lie?" Mu Yun sneered, "I remember every word you said when I woke up! You said you were a noble person, and stealing such dirty words should not be used on you, right? But now, you told me in person that you have stole other people's things!"

"It's just a few chickens and ducks. Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?" Seeing Mu Yun's stern expression, Lin Ban was a little amused and laughed - His Highness Fairy, who are you? Why do you scold me for me?

"It's not just a few chickens and ducks? Master, the dogs in the village were barking just now. I guess no one has ever stole it, right? Why do you have to continue lying in front of the fairy? This is a mistake and it's a mistake!" Costa suddenly interjected, and it said righteously, "I would rather not eat roasted suckling pigs and roasted chicken wings than condemn your immoral behavior. You are slandering the fairy world and you have lost the face of Fairy Mu Yun!"

Costa suddenly realized that he should seize the opportunity to provoke and disagree. If Fairy Mu Yun killed Lin Ban, he could not be his master, and the soul contract that bound it would be invalid...

Thinking of this, Costa suddenly became enthusiastic and winked.

"Silly Dragon, shut up, it's nothing to do with you!" Lin Ban shouted viciously.

Lin Bandu walked to the door of his house with a stretcher, but the fairy suddenly refused to enter, which made Lin Ban stump.

In the middle of the night, did you still walk to the county town?

Just when Lin Ban was in a dilemma, the lights suddenly lit up in the originally quiet room and a sound came.

Although it is far apart and there is a wooden door, Mu Yun, Lin Ban and Costa are not ordinary people, so they can naturally hear it clearly.

"Xiao Min, why are the dogs in the village barking? Could it be that some weasels and wild boars have entered the village, right?" asked a voice that seemed a little old.

"No, how come the wild boar... I'm afraid my brother is back?" Another little girl's voice came from the room, a little tender and a little lazy sleepy, very nice, just like a yellow oriole singing on the top of a tree.

Hearing this sound, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Lin Ban's mouth.

Costa also opened his eyes curiously and poked his head out of Lin Ban's pocket. With such a nice voice, he must be a big beauty!

"What are you dreaming? It's midnight, and it's going to be bright soon. The little brat wants to come back, but it's not at this time!" the old man snorted coldly.

"Dad, are you not asleep again?" the girl asked in surprise.

"Well, I've been thinking about your brother's college all night, and I can't sleep and have a headache. Girl, didn't your brother prescribe a small bag of sleeping pills for me in the hospital a few days ago? I'll take it, I want to take some."

"Yeah." The sound of walking in the room was kicking and stomping. After a while, the girl said, "Dad, I can only eat one piece. I'll pour you water, wait a moment."

After a while, the girl shouted in surprise: "Dad, what about that pack of sleeping pills? You won't take them all, right?"

"No, I only ate one slice, and the rest just fell under the bed. Come and pick it up tomorrow morning..." The old man just replied, and came to his senses and roared, "No! Bastard, is this sleeping pill? Why is his tongue sweet?"

"Dad, that's actually calcium tablets..." The girl was silent for a while and replied timidly, "My brother said, you have to eat more of this to have a chance to stand up again."

"Stand the way! That brat changed my medicine again. He was just a bastard, little beast!" The old man was furious and beat the bed and shouted, "Don't call him brother in the future, call him beast in the future! Don't be afraid, just say I said it!"

After hearing these conversations, Mu Yun and Costa immediately looked at each other.

Lin Ban's face turned blue. He put the stretcher on the ground with his waist and was about to rush in, but Mu Yun grabbed his arm.

"Don't go, I want to hear what they say!" Mu Yun's spiritual consciousness sent a voice, his eyes full of doubt.

His Highness Fairy was very disappointed with Lin Ban and decided to get better, so he separated from Lin Ban and went their own way in the future. But this was an opportunity to truly understand Lin Ban. She still didn't want to miss it, so she stopped Lin Ban's impulse.

"Dad, don't say that to my brother. He will be very sad when he hears it." In the room, the girl suddenly started crying, "You know that he is wholeheartedly trying to repay you! You are paralyzed, and he has served you for a whole decade. You said you wouldn't let him live on your knees, nor would he beg for begging, so he went to steal things for you. Later, he became a child laborer to make money, and picked me up to serve you... For us, my brother has been scolded for many years, been beaten and suffered a lot of crimes... But what about you, you always want to seek death secretly. Are you worthy of him?"

The old man was silent.

"Dad, why do you always think about seeking death? If you die, my brother has been busy for so many years? How sad he should be! You are so sorry for my brother's painstaking efforts, wuwu!" The more the girl cried, the more sad she became, the louder the crying.

"Girl, stop crying..." The old man suddenly softened and muttered, "I know your brother's thoughts, and he also knows that he is very hard. I am not a person who doesn't know what's wrong with him... But I'm so desperate to drag you down, so I can only drag you down! Your brother is reluctant to even take the college entrance exam now. What's the point of living?"

"My brother said that it costs tens of thousands of yuan to go to college, and it is difficult to find a job after going to college. It is better to go to work..." the girl said thrustly.

"Bazz! He's just fart! Didn't he say that knowledge can change his destiny? Do you think he really doesn't want to go to college? He's not for this family, or for you to go to high school?" The old man said angrily, "It's not easy to make money? Girl, you put me on the rails and let the train press my legs to pay for them. I heard that there are 100,000 or 80,000 yuan, which is better than asking your brother to work or something!"

"Dad, what are you saying? How can you do this?" the girl started crying again.

"My legs are useless anyway, what's the matter with pressing them? Your brother refuses to help me, don't you?" The old man roared sternly, and beat the bed again, making a "bangdong" sound.

"Dad, don't do this. My brother knows he will kill me! When my brother comes back, I will persuade him to go to college, okay?" the girl sobbed.

"This is still like a saying... OK OK, don't cry. Go to bed, I won't be dying. Remember to persuade your brother, he will listen to you!" The old man shouted impatiently.

"Well, I will try my best to persuade my brother." The girl responded obediently.

After a while, the lights in the room went out.

"What's going on?" Mu Yun became more and more confused as he heard it, and pulled Lin Ban's sleeve.

Lin Ban sighed, walked to a bamboo forest in the distance, put Mu Yun down, shook his head and said, "This matter is a long story. Do you really want to listen?"

Mu Yun and Costa nodded together, and Mu Yun said apologetically: "Lin Ban, I should have blamed you wrongly, don't care."

"It's okay, I'm used to being wronged. You're nothing." Lin Ban smiled bitterly and whispered, "That's it..."

Lin Ban is indeed a miserable person. Not long after he was born, he was thrown at the entrance of a shopping mall in Feisha County.

In the winter of 1992, Lin Dongzhi went to the county town to purchase New Year's goods and found a group of people watching the fun. He squeezed in and opened his eyes. He saw a baby with a pale face and thin skin and a blue face lying on the ground. He tightened his heart and quickly picked up the baby up. He found that there was a note in the baby's cradle with only ten words: "He is Chu An, please take him in."

Lin Dongzhi took off the cradle and looked at it again, and found that it was a boy. He was both pity and liked it, so he quickly took the baby home and became a father.

Lin Dongzhi is an ordinary farmer in Qinglong Village. He found a wife named Xie Yuqing. In addition to her nose and a little dark face, Xie Yuqing looked quite decent, but she had not given birth for many years after marriage. Lin Dongzhi was anxious and raised some money to go to the hospital for examination. Finally, he found that he had a problem of infertility, and the disease was quite difficult to treat. He could not get enough 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and the treatment effect could not be guaranteed.

Lin Dongzhi couldn't afford so much money, so he accepted it. Fortunately, Xie Yuqing didn't dislike him and didn't quarrel about divorce or something. However, when they were middle-aged and had no children, they naturally felt regretful, but they just didn't say it.

This time, Lin Dongzhi picked up a son and came back, and the couple were naturally very happy. After Lin Dongzhi returned home, he changed his name to "Lin Ban" and took his surname.

According to Lin Dongzhi, the reason why we took the strange name "Lin Ban" is because Lin Ban's original surname was Chu, and the word "Lin" is half of the word "Chu"... Besides, when Lin Dongzhi found Lin Ban thrown outside the mall, Lin Ban was frozen to the point of only half of his life, so the word "Ban" still has this meaning.

In fact, after Lin Ban was picked up by Lin Dongzhi, he had only half his life. I don’t know if it was because he was cruelly abandoned by his parents when he was born. Lin Ban’s body has been weak since he was a child. He is often sick and hospitalized. He has a high fever of more than 40 degrees at any time, and has to spend all his money at home.

Fortunately, Xie Yuqing was kind-hearted and poured all her maternal love into Lin Ban, taking care of him without eating, drinking or sleeping, and snatching Lin Ban back from the god of death again and again. For Lin Ban's illness, Xie Yuqing's hair turned much whiter.

When Lin Ban was five years old, his body was still weak. Lin Dongzhi and Xie Yuqing were anxious. They carried Lin Ban to Qinglong Mountain and found a small Taoist temple that was said to be very effective, and asked an old Taoist priest to exorcise Lin Ban's evil spirits.

The old Taoist priest looked at Lin Ban's pulse and touched the bones. He was also a little surprised. He said that Lin Ban had insufficient yang energy and had deficiency of qi and blood and yin, which was easy to cause diseases and cause disasters. So he stayed in the Taoist temple for several months and taught Lin Ban some ways to exercise his body. After that, Lin Ban's body gradually recovered...

"What method did the old Taoist priest teach you?" Mu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, as if he had solved a doubt.

"That's not the point, let's talk about it later... I'll finish my story first." Lin Ban's voice suddenly became hoarse.

Lin Ban's health was cured, but his adoptive mother Xie Yuqing suddenly fell ill. After going to the hospital for a check-up, she found that she had gastric cancer.

The remaining money at home was already tormented by Lin Ban's illness. Xie Yuqing insisted on refusing to cure her cancer, saying that it would not be cured, so why bother to borrow money? It would be better to leave the money for Lin Ban to study and get married.

One day in May 2001, Xie Yuqing, who was already thin enough to have only a handful of dry bones, lay on the bed, staring out the window in a daze, and murmured: "Winter Solstice, why didn't Lin Ban get home yet?"

"It's so soon, it's so soon. He is studying in the county town, and the road is far away. Don't worry, he will run back after school. This child is the most conscientious. Although we didn't tell him about your stomach cancer, he was extremely anxious when he saw that your health was getting worse and worse. He often digs herbs for you on the way after school. At this time, I'm afraid he's still digging." Lin Dongzhi comforted.

"I really want to look at him again, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't wait..." As Xie Yuqing said, a burst of pain came from her stomach and her eyes closed unwillingly.

The eight-year-old Lin Ban lost his second mother and lost his majestic maternal love like a mountain.

On the day Xie Yuqing was buried, Lin Ban pounced on the coffin and refused to let the villagers carry the coffin into the pit. He cried so hard that his heart broke, making the villagers sad when they heard it, and those who saw it cried.

A village woman said with emotion: "Yuqing has not lived in vain. Although she is not her biological son, she is even more close to her biological son."

When Lin Ban heard this, he remembered his miserable life experience and cried to death.

Xie Yuqing never concealed the fact that Lin Ban was her adopted son, and even encouraged him to find his biological parents when he grew up. It can be said that Xie Yuqing is a typical kind farmer woman. Compared with the couple who cruelly abandoned Lin Ban, she is simply one in the sky and the other on the ground.

Lin Ban hated his cruel biological parents and thanked Yu Qing for taking care of her for many years. However, her son wanted to raise her but her parents were gone, and her adoptive mother had passed away, and she had nowhere to repay her kindness, which made him feel in pain.

Fortunately, he had an adoptive father, so he made up his mind to be filial to Lin Dongzhi so that he could live happily until he was 100 years old.

So Lin Ban, who was eight years old, began to learn how to cook, help Lin Dongshe, cook, pick pig grass, and even rushed to the ground to plant rice seedlings and plant vegetables to share the worries and sorrows for Lin Dongshe. The father and son continued to live on their own, which was considered a kind father and a filial son, and a little happy.

This is how life is. No matter how unsatisfactory life is, you only have one thing to do before you die.

But life is not satisfactory, eight out of ten. Xie Yuqing was just buried a few months ago, when Lin Dongzhi had a big deal. It was because of the unparalleled blessings and misfortunes never come alone.
