Taixuan saw the young man running away in a hurry and hurriedly followed him. He saw the young man rushed to the shade under a piece of wall nearby, and helped a weak old woman up and said, "Mom, get up quickly, look at what this is, pear, duck pear, eat it quickly, eat it quickly!"

Although the old woman was very weak, she seemed a little better than the other old men. She pinched the pear and asked, "San'er, where did this pear come from? Have you eaten it?"

The young man said, "This is given to me by a Taoist priest. Oh, he gave me two. I have eaten it. I almost ate this too. I took a bite. You old man, eat it!"

The old woman repeatedly asked the young man if he had eaten pears. After the young man's exact answer, he started to eat the duck pears. He ate them in big mouthfuls, and finally swallowed the pear core, as if it was the best food in the world.

Taixuan nodded slightly, walked to the other side to give pears. There were only six or seven pears hidden in Taixuan's sleeves. After six or seven people tried, they disappeared. Some of these people remember their parents, wives and children, some remember their young children and relatives, some only care about their own enjoyment, and some fight for this pear.

After Taixuan divided the pears, a group of mountain people with slightly better expressions surrounded him and said to a vicious young man: "Stinky Taoist, you eat everywhere, do you still have any food on you? I'll hand it over to me, otherwise you'll kill you."

Tai Xuan said: "Look at all of you, all of you, are young and strong, why don't you go to the city to find a way out, or go up the mountain to hunt or go down the river to fish, but instead do such a thing. It's not the first time you are all fellow villagers in the countryside, and everyone can't survive anymore, why do you still bully the weak?"

The young man sneered, "You stinky Taoist priest knows nothing! We farmers have no skills in labour. Who wants you? They are so tired that they are even more tired of working in the city and they are deducted their wages. They are not full. Besides, this is a messy battle and our village has just been robbed shortly afterwards. Who dares to run around?"

"As for hunting up the mountain, if you encounter a big insect and don't feed it to the tiger's mouth, it is not safe to go down the river to fish. How can you compare to plundering these wastes? Humph, it's good to have not eaten people yet!"

Taixuan shook his head and said, "I am greedy for life and fear of death, despicable and shameless. I don't want this person to be corrupted so much. Don't you just want to eat? I have it here."

As he said that, Taixuan took out the last duck pear from his arms, put it on the ground, swept some soil with his legs, but secretly used the Changsheng Wood Art "Guisheng" under his feet. After a while, tender buds grew and turned into a small sapling. In just half a cup of tea, the sapling grew bigger and bigger and turned into a big tree of two people. More and more people were watching the fun. After a while, the big tree was full of pears and then ripened. The pears were plump like obovate and crushed the branches. Taixuan waved his hand and the pears fell one after another, and flew into the hands of everyone present. Everyone present almost all divided one.

The young man who led the lead looked at the pear in his hand, looked at the pear tree again, his throat kept surging, and he knelt on the ground, saying, "God, God, God, God, God, I dare not."

Taixuan said: "I am not a god, but a Taoist of Taixuan, the leader of Quanzhen Sect. You can eat it. After you have enough, I will teach you the skills of survival."

Taixuan made the case according to law and planted a few pear trees. More and more people came until the 10th pear tree was eaten by everyone. Everyone in this small village arrived, but only three or four hundred people were only there.

Taixuan saw that everyone had arrived, and there were many injured and sick, so he activated the power of the flowing water, forming a ball of water waves, and then used the Longevity Water Art, Wood Art, "moisturize things" and "reward life". The ball of water waves flew over the crowd, turned into a rain, and spread to everyone. For a moment, everyone's spirits improved a lot.

Taixuan asked, "Are you the only people left in your village? Why did you make this look?"

An old man walked out of the crowd and said tremblingly: "Immortal, the old man Wang Laowu, is the village official in this village. We originally had 161 households and 581 people. A few days ago, the generals of the Sui Dynasty went to the countryside to borrow grain and copied out the village's grain. Several maids and wives who were out of sight were also stolen, and chickens, ducks, pigs and cows were also stolen, leaving only some of the food hidden in each family to barely survive."

"Some relatives in the city have taken care of family affairs and went to the relatives, and only we are left. As a result, ten days ago, another nest of bandits came to the village and copied them again. They really had no food in the village. There were dozens of bad-tempered boys who snatched the last things and ran away, saying that they were going to join the rebel army. Fortunately, it is summer now, and grass grows everywhere, so we can live a life of digging some grass roots and bark. Although there is a small river next to the village, everyone has no energy to go into the water without eating enough. The day before yesterday, they have never gotten up again. Therefore, these days, the villagers dare not go into the water. They are all hungry and can't move, and there are fewer and fewer people."

After saying these words, the old man was so tired that he was breathing. He took a breath and said, "Immortals are so merciful. Since I met, please save the only people left in our village! We will build a ancestral hall for the immortals and worship them every day."

Taixuan said: "Old man, I am the leader of Quanzhen Sect, Taixuan Taoist, not an immortal."

He also said: "As the saying goes, "Bad faults are like combs, soldiers are like combs, and officials are like shavings. Oh, the ancients did not deceive me, it is better to meet them, but it is a fate method. Moreover, the "Saving People" says: The immortal way is worth living, and the infinite control of people. Bao Puzi also said that the Taoist sect is the best achievement to save people and live. I will save you, but remember that those who help themselves will help them; those who help themselves will help others! You should not count on me in everything, you must do your own things."

Everyone present was overjoyed and refused to agree. Taixuan began to treat all the sick and injured first, and then gave birth to pear trees. After eating, everyone started to teach them the art of survival.

In fact, these villagers are not stupid, nor are they without skills. They have not been too hungry for too long, and their hands and feet are unable to move, so they sit and wait for death. Taixuan asked some green and strong people to tie grass into ropes, make bows and arrows, and go up the mountains to hunt prey in groups. Some green and strong people cut down trees, repair broken houses and damaged houses. Some people went down the river to catch fish and shrimps. Women dig some grass roots, pull some leaves, burn some hot water, add some fish and shrimps, make some simple soup to temporarily satisfy everyone's hunger, and the elderly and children pick up some firewood.

Gradually, everyone could barely fill their stomachs. Taixuan taught these people to dig mud to make pottery, pick the selected ones and sell them in the city, and exchange them for some seeds.

The Taixuan seeds were bought back and catalyzed by the "Guisheng" of the Changsheng Wood Art to make them sprout, and the rest were left to these villagers to take care of them.

In this way, for more than ten days, this small village has changed its appearance. Everyone is as close as a family. They live by hunting, fishing and shrimps, store prey that they cannot eat, and raise some living beasts and pheasants. Of course, the most important thing is that their mental outlook is different. They are no longer as desolate as before, but are positive and full of vitality.
