Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 90 Chapter

After slaughtering Li Gui, Li Kui was silent for a long time along the way, with his head down, not knowing what to think.

Cao Cao was as insightful as a candle to his thoughts, patted Li Kui and said: "Tie Niu, but I feel that I have shown kindness for a while, but let a person who is not as good as a pig and a dog. Not only does he not appreciate it, but he also insults him repeatedly, so he is unhappy?"

Li Kui said sullenly, "Why are there such birds in the world?"

Cao Cao said: "There are all kinds of people in the world. Some are good and some are evil. There are those who discern the truth and those who are stubborn. If you get angry about this, you will never be able to get angry for the rest of your life. I only ask you, did you let him go? Is it for him to thank you?"

Hearing this, Li Kui tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What do you want him to thank me for? I just pity him for his filial piety, and I don't want to kill a dutiful son."

Cao Cao said: "That's it. You have no plans for him, so why bother to hate his words? If you find out that you have been lied to, just kill him with a knife. Let me ask you again, if someone says that there is an old lady at home to support , are you still killing him?"

Li Kui blurted out that he wanted to kill him, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head slowly: "If that guy really has a mother, wouldn't I kill his mother too?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and patted him on the back and said, "Look, it's very clear. Kill him because you want to kill him, and spare him because you want to spare him. All kinds of choices are all from your heart. , since it’s your heart, you don’t have any regrets. As for whether others appreciate it, whether it’s worth it or not, it’s their heart, and it’s none of your business? You have a path in your heart, just go straight.”

Although Li Kui didn't understand what he heard, he felt enlightened, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "What my brother said must be right. My mother taught me before, you just do what you do, and don't care what others do." Said. Thinking about it this way, good people and bad people are all viewed by different people. For example, the prisoners who were robbed of money by me must see me as a wicked person who should be killed. In the eyes of my brothers, Tie Niu is a good person. This is the case, and so are others. Therefore, if someone blocks our way, regardless of whether he is good or bad, and kills him with an axe, if he does not block our way, someone will regard him as a good person, so why not forgive him?"

Hearing these words, Cao Cao was shocked first and then delighted. He couldn't help laughing loudly, patted Luan Tingyu and said, "Did you hear that? This Tieniu seems to be ignorant, but he is actually Su Hui. What he said Although the truth is not subtle, how many people in the world can understand it?"

Luan Tingyu also admired himself, and said: "In my opinion, it is better for my elder brother to teach me. Considering today's incident, it is rare for him to be kind, but he let go of a wolf. That sliver of kindness is completely gone.”

The more the three talked, the happier they were, and they didn't feel tired from walking. When they reached Dongdiandong, Baizhang Village, where Li Kui's family lived, the sun was already flat, and the trees, fields, and houses were all shining golden, as if they were young. old dream.Seeing it in Li Kui's eyes, his nostalgia welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help walking eagerly.

Cao Cao followed him closely, and walked through the houses. Suddenly, Li Kui stopped in front of a door, swallowing his throat, and trembling uncontrollably with his hands that had never shaken thousands of enemies. The door opened and walked in cautiously.

The room was dark, and there was a wooden bed next to the wall, on which an old woman was sitting, she exclaimed in surprise, "Who came in?"

Cao Cao looked and found that the mother-in-law was blind with her eyes open, holding a string of rosary beads.

Li Kui said with a crying voice: "Mother, Tieniu has come home."

When the old lady heard the words, it was as if an ancient well had suddenly turned into a stream, and her whole body was revived instantly. With a trace of uncontrollable anxiety, she stretched out her hand and groped, "My son, where have you been all these years? Come on, Come, let mother touch you."

Only then did Li Kui realize that his mother was blind, so he couldn't help crying, "Mother, why are your eyes blind?" superior.

She caressed her son's face up and down impatiently, and said in a sobbing voice, "After you left, I have been thinking about it every day, and I have cried so much that I have lost my eyesight. My son, how about you being outside all the time? No. If you fight again, what trouble will you cause?"

Li Kui saw that his old mother was getting older and thinner, and when he touched his face with both hands, it was like a thick bone. He remembered that he was not short of fish and meat outside, and his old mother didn't know if she had meat to eat all year round. Twisted, tears flowed down like springs, and howled: "Mother, Tie Niu is not filial. Tie Niu eats and drinks outside by himself, and his mother has become so thin. Tie Niu deserves to be struck by lightning."

Li Kui's old mother slapped her son lightly, and spat: "Nonsense! You also talk about lightning strikes from the sky? Buddha bless, Buddha bless him, childish words, childish words..."

Li Kui is such a majestic and iron man with a bearded face, but his thin and dry mother is still talking about children's words. This scene is very interesting, but Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu only feel moved when they see it.Poor parents all over the world, when they look at their children, they look like they have not grown up and are ignorant and need their own care.Like Li Kui's mother, in terms of temperament and knowledge, she is completely different from Niu Gao's mother, but there is still a slight difference in her love for her son.

Li Kui hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Tieniu is talking nonsense, mother, don't take it to heart. Mother, I am also promising now, I have become a high-ranking official, and I want to come to pick up my mother to enjoy the blessings. By the way, my elder brother told Tieniu She is a good woman who is filial and sensible, mother, let her honor you with Tieniu."

Tie Niu's old lady was inexplicably surprised when she heard this: "My son promised marriage? He became an official? He is blessed by a Bodhisattva, but how can your elder brother have the ability to marry you? He can't even care about himself."

Li Kui said: "Mother, it's my sworn brother, brother Wu Zhiwu Dalang, he is the capital of Yanggu County, he settled the lawsuit for me, and wants to take me to Yanggu County, so that Tieniu can also be the capital. There is also brother Luan Tingyu, he is a teacher, and it is the two brothers who accompanied me to pick up my mother."

Tie Niu's old lady said in surprise: "Oh, that's a distinguished guest coming to the door. Why don't you invite someone to sit down, Tie Niu? Quickly pour water for him."

Cao Cao stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the kang. The smell on the kang was very pungent, but Cao Cao, as if he didn't know it, stretched out his hand to hold the old lady's hand, and said warmly: "My old lady, I am Wu Zhiwu Dalang, and I am now in Yanggu County. Dutou, your Tie Niu is a good boy, I sworn brothers with him, we will take you to Yanggu County, let him honor your old man, your wife and in-laws are waiting for you in Yanggu County now .”

Li Kui's old lady heard the words, her old eyes that had been dry for many years leaked tears again, she squeezed Cao Cao's hand tightly and said: "Thank you Wudutou, Wudutou is so kind and virtuous, my family's Tieniu is blessed, and I met a nobleman, but the old lady I can't see with my eyes, so I can't walk now, and I'm a blind woman, so don't scare Tieniu's wife away."

Li Kui exclaimed: "Why can't it work? Tieniu drove on with his mother on his back and arrived at the west village of the county. There was a brother Zhu Fu who had prepared a car waiting for us and took you there. As for the daughter-in-law, if she dares to despise my mother, I will let you go." , I don’t want her anymore.”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Don't worry, my wife, Song Baolian, your daughter-in-law, I personally said to Tieniu. Your son is a simple and honest person. How could I choose a woman with a lot of flowers for him? This daughter-in-law and in-laws are all You are a reasonable person, so I can rest assured and enjoy the blessings. When I arrive in Yanggu County, I will invite a famous doctor to see him. If he can be cured, I will give Tie Niu a grandson."

As soon as he said this, it was like drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, and the old lady suddenly regained her energy, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go, I will go, if I can bring Tieniu a few more children, I will be satisfied even if I die. When his elder brother comes back, talk to his elder brother."

Li Kui said: "What are you waiting for? My son will carry you on his own."

Before he finished speaking, his elder brother Li Da brought a jar of rice and was surprised when he saw many people in the room.

There are different teachings: the man Chipu is better than gold, whether he forgives or kills, he has his own heart.The elder brother Hannu broke the door, and Tie Niu carried the tigress on the mountain.
