Chapter 252

"A kind-hearted man, can you give me a piece of wood as a coffin?" An old man came to Caiwei today. He was dressed in rags, leaning on crutches and walking on straw sandals to ask Yunyao for a piece of wood to make his own coffin.

The old man's hair was sparse, his teeth were falling off, and his words were leaking, as if he was about to go.

But the old man had no money, so he asked for wood in a demanding manner.

Seeing that the old man was pitiful, Yunyao agreed to send a piece of wood and delivered the goods to his door: "Brother-in-law, if you need it, you can choose a piece of wood." Yunyao took the old man to the river, pointed to a piece of wood floating near the water and said, "How is this?"

"This one doesn't work, it's easy to rot."

Yunyao was kind-hearted, otherwise the old man who came to ask for wood would not be ignored. After all, the old man came to ask for free wood, and she had a conscience to be willing to give it to. The old man could walk to the thatched cottage, which means that his identity was a Chinese, and the Chinese people attached great importance to funerals, because most people don’t know that after death, they would enter the cycle of reincarnation, and they all thought that after death, they could start again and enjoy life in another world, so funerals were as important as sacrifices. Out of kindness, Yunyao was willing to give a piece of wood, which could make several coffins. However, he didn’t expect that the old man was not satisfied.

The old man's skin was as dry as tree bark, but his turbid eyes were very firm, which was just dissatisfaction.

"Brother, the wood here is the same. If this one is prone to rot, then other woods are prone to rot." Yun Yao thought to herself that if the old man was afraid of the wood rotting, then she would have nothing to give.

"Isn't it? I just saw the beams on the roof in the thatched cottage were good wood." The old man said for granted.

"..." Yunyao was a little dazed. Early this morning, he didn't even eat, so he hosted the old man who came to ask for wood early in the morning. He politely asked him to choose wood, but he wanted to tear down his thatched cottage?

What is going on? Yun Yao thought to himself, which god is this old man who came down to earth to test himself? If so, she just wanted to tell the god that she should not always catch her and test her alone. The world is so big and there are so many young people. Test others more.

If this old man is just a very picky and unpopular old man, then Yun Yao just wants to say that the old man should not consume other people's kindness, and will bring rewards.

"Brother-in-law, I'm a little confused. Did you ask me to give you a piece of wood for making a coffin?"

"That's right." The old man nodded: "I heard that there is wood here, so I walked for several days before I arrived at the thatched cottage. I wanted to choose a piece of wood that would satisfy me. I had nothing to exchange for you, so you wanted to give me one."

"Now you think these woods are not good, so I asked me to tear down the thatched cottage where I live and take down the beam and give it to you?" Yunyao confirmed again.

It was already too much to ask for wood at home, so it was already a big deal to ask Yun Yao to dismantle the house and get the beams.

"That's right." The old man nodded again and said with confidence: "I've come all the way, you can't let me go empty-handed."

"If you want to demolish my thatched cottage, I think I can refuse." Yunyao didn't know what to say.

The old man looked at Yunyao, but said: "I'm going to die, the coffin is my only destination. And you are still alive. With what I see, your fief is rich, and you will definitely expand your thatched cottage in a few years, and the beam will be replaced. For you, this beam is optional. Why are you not willing to give it to me? Are you unwilling to waste your strength, or are you stingy with the financial resources of the fief, or are your kindness limited to helping the elderly fulfill their last wish in life?"

Yun Yao was stunned, thinking that this old man was too annoying. Is it amazing to be ruthless? Can it cause trouble for people?

I really don’t know where to complain about this. Of course, it can’t be considered wrong, because if you are willing, it’s really not difficult to change the beam, but the old man is here to seek free wood, but he is picky and proficient, which makes people feel disgusted: “Even if you are right, even if you can demolish the roof and replace the beam, you can do it. Why should I help you? I can ask my kindness, then will you ask yourself kindness? Ask yourself if this proposal is really worthy of me responding to the request?” Yun Yao said directly: “It’s natural that you have no problem with the beam, but if you simply ask for it, you must at least give me a reason that I can’t refuse. Don’t say that my conscience is not a bad kindness.”

Isn’t the old man good at speaking? Then Yun Yao will give him a chance to see if he can convince himself.

The old man's eyes seemed to have some doubts, and his expression was a bit solid. It seemed that it was the first time he met a woman like Yun Yao, who could have so cruelly rejected an old man who was about to die. He still needed a reason? He was about to die. Isn't this reason enough?

It was definitely not enough. Yunyao thought that this old man had been away for a few days to get his fief. Although he was old, he was in good health, so he could definitely try whether his coffin was comfortable.

Facing the old man's face full of questions, Yun Yao had no expression on his face and waited for the old man to speak.

But the old man obviously couldn't find a reason why Yun Yao couldn't refuse and had to destroy the house, so Yun Yao waited for a long time but received no response.

"It seems you have nothing to say, so let's just do it. Tell me which fief you live in. When I prepare the coffin, I will send it to your house directly." "I not only give you wood, but also give you a set of labor." Yunyao showed his magnanimity and did not lose his coffin because of the old man's strangeness.

The old man was a little declining and a little disappointed, as if the whole world did not understand him. He couldn't help but say, "If you don't want to offend him, you don't want to offend him. If you don't want to offend him, you don't want to offend him. If you don't know me, you just see others separated." There was a complaint in his tone, saying that he was clearly a person, but he didn't want to offend him. But no one understood me, and God didn't understand me. Everyone around him left me. Why are he so miserable?

"..." Yunyao suddenly missed Confucius at this time because he said, "Do not do to others what he does not want others to do to others." He said that he should reflect on himself. Didn't the old man think about reflecting on his behavior? He was so proud and took advantage of his abilities. Who can stand it? But he had to leave him? He also said that he "does not want to commit words, but does not want to be foolish." This was not aware of his mistake at all.

It’s not yourself who is wrong, but the world. I feel this way.

"If I want the beams of your house, I don't know how you feel."

"You are richer than me, why do you want my beam?" The old man felt very strange and said that he could not understand Yunyao's ideas.

"Who would dislike having one more piece of wood in his home?" After a few hundred years, the old man would know what it means to rob a small country. When a rich country robs a poor country, many wealthy people would rob people who are poorer than themselves.

The old man looked at Yunyao in surprise, only to think that Yunyao's words were even more terrifying than being more greedy. The red fruit fruit's idea of ​​bullying the weak was expressed without any concealment. He was as stupid as a chicken, and he didn't know what expression or language to use to evaluate Yunyao.

Yiru Yunyao didn't know how to evaluate the old man at first.
