Chapter 027: The wealthy family is full of wine and meat, and there are freezing bones on the road
Qianyang City.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, the roads are paved with white snow, and everything is booming. The atmosphere at night is even more lively than during the day.
But when Chen Xuanqing entered Qianyang City, he found that the excitement only belonged to those wealthy families.
The streets were very cold, and there were many frozen bodies on the roadside.
Some have even been buried by the thick white snow, while those who are still a little angry are curled up in a ball and squatting on the roadside, shivering.
The Dong Mansion on the side was extremely lively, and the aroma of food and wine had even spread outside the house.
Crunch!
The door of Dong's Mansion opened, and a servant came out, holding a bucket of leftovers and placing them on the ground.
Several big yellow dogs kept outside the courtyard immediately surrounded him.
Seeing this, the trembling beggar on the roadside also crawled over, wagging his head and tail like the dogs.
But the servant kicked them away, "Go, go, get out of here, there's nothing for you to eat!"
"These are Mr. Dong's beloved dogs. Can you afford to take care of them if they get hungry?"
An old beggar held a broken bowl, looked at the fat yellow dog with a mouth full of oil, and sighed.
"Also, please ask Mr. Dong to give us some food..."
"Haha!" The servant spat directly on the old man's face after hearing this.
"roll!"
Jingxu was not impressed when he saw this scene, but Chen Xuanqing slowly closed his eyes.
"Wars have been going on in various countries for many years, and there are countless refugees and beggars. It is true that rich families are stinking of wine and meat, and people are freezing to death on the road."
Looking at the man shivering in the snowdrift beside him, he was so thin that he was so hungry that he was reduced to skin and bones.
Seeing this, Jingxu shook his head, "These people are all seriously ill and dying. It's better not to look at them, Senior Brother Chen."
Chen Xuanqing ignored Jingxu and came to the beggar on his own.
Stretching out his right hand as white as jade, he gently brushed the old man's forehead.
Jingxu was stunned when he saw this, "Senior Brother Chen, it's not worth wasting your spiritual energy on a dying mortal. We will have to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xuanqing glared at him.
"mortal?"
"Are you bloated?"
"Don't forget, before you walk through that door, you are also a mortal."
"Do you think you are an immortal now?"
"Not for mortals, not for common people, what kind of sage books have you ever read, and what kind of bullshit immortality have you cultivated?"
Jingxu felt ashamed after being scolded by Chen Xuanqing, "Yes..."
"That's what Senior Brother Chen said."
"But there are so many gangsters and beggars in the world. You can save them for a while, but you can't save them for a lifetime. He will be in pain just living in this world, so why let him suffer for a few more days?"
Chen Xuanqing's eyes were cold, "Everyone has the right to pursue life."
"You are an immortal in the sky now and don't know the pain of mortals on earth. If he really wants to die, why is he still struggling here?"
"I once knew a girl. She was also a beggar. She didn't have enough to eat or keep warm. She worked hard without complaining. She was beaten, scolded and humiliated in every way, but she never gave up."
"She told me that she wanted to live. She only had this wish. It was so humble and insignificant, but for her, living had become the greatest luxury."
"Then she fell ill and stayed in bed all day."
"He died in the end."
Jingxu lowered his head, "Listening to Senior Brother Chen's words, Jingxu benefited a lot."
"Been taught a lesson."
Chen Xuanqing turned to look at the servants of the Dong Mansion, "Hey, go get them some food. Let them have a full meal on New Year's Eve."
The servant smiled when he heard this, "Who do you think you are?"
bump! !
With a loud noise, the servant's chest felt like it was hit hard!
The whole person hit the door of Dong Mansion directly, knocking open the two bright red wooden doors!
The yellow dogs who were eating looked at Chen Xuanqing with bared teeth when they saw this!
Chen Xuanqing's eyes turned cold.
Several yellow dogs immediately lay down silently, not even daring to take a breath.
And this movement also alarmed the people in the Dong family.
Inside the Dong Mansion.
The fat and round Mr. Dong was startled when he heard the sound, "What's the sound? Someone dares to come to my Dong Mansion to cause trouble?"
Just when Master Dong was about to rush out, an old man with a long beard suddenly stopped him, "Master, no!"
"Old man, I'm watching the purple air coming from the east outside the window. I'm afraid someone from the immortal family is coming!"
Mr. Dong was shocked when he heard this, "Xian, from the Xian family?!"
"What did the steward say?"
The old housekeeper looked out of the courtyard with a solemn expression, "Old man, when I was young, I used to tell people's fortunes and read fortunes. I never thought that one time, I mistakenly read the fortune of a person from the Immortal Family!"
"This has shortened my life span by twenty years. The immortal family saw that I was pitiful and lamented the fate of cause and effect, so they gave me an immortal method that can extend my life and gain insight into ghosts and gods."
"As for today's strange phenomenon, it was mentioned in the book that purple energy descended from the sky and came from the east, and a true immortal must enter the mortal world!"
"Sir, please don't neglect us when you are a distinguished guest!"
Mr. Dong nodded repeatedly, "Thanks to the butler for reminding me, otherwise, this might have destroyed the power of my Dong family!"
"Come here, prepare some generous gifts and put a table of delicacies on the table!"
"Sir, I want to welcome the immortal!"
After that, Mr. Dong tidied up his clothes and came outside the hospital.
Oncoming were two young men.
His face is like a jade, he is dressed in a white robe, and there is no trace of his feet on the snow, showing off his aura of being unearthly!
Seeing this, Mr. Dong quickly bent down and clasped his fists, saying, "Young man Dong Wenbin, I have seen two immortals!"
"I didn't know that the great arrival of the Immortal would be missed and welcomed from afar!"
"I have ordered my servants to prepare a banquet in my house and prepared some small gifts. I hope the two immortals..."
Before Mr. Dong could finish speaking, Chen Xuanqing interrupted him, "No need. I was passing by here and saw that the homeless people on the roadside were hungry. It's rare for me to give them some food on New Year's Eve."
After hearing this, Mr. Dong thought for a while, "The two immortals are so compassionate. I really admire them, so I will order someone to send them some food!"
"Those two immortals..."
Chen Xuanqing shook his head, "No need. If you have such a heart, why not do more good deeds."
After saying that, the two turned and left.
After a while, servants brought food and clothing to the beggars and homeless people outside the door.
They thanked Mr. Dong repeatedly, but no one remembered Chen Xuanqing.
Seeing this, Jingxu shook her head, "Senior Brother Chen, you do this for them, but they can't remember any of your benefits."
Chen Xuanqing didn't care, "Why should they remember me?"
"Life is like a homeless beggar. It's good to have a full meal."
“It’s enough to make them feel that this meal is worth their while.”
Jingxu sighed, "If the princes, generals, and ministers in the world can be as open-minded as Senior Brother Chen, that will be a blessing to the people."
"Then let's go see your father first, or go and see other scenery in Qianyang City. I guess they are all homeless and beggars like this."
Chen Xuanqing suddenly looked into the distance, as if he remembered something, "Let's wait for the return home. Come with me for a walk first."
"I want to meet someone."
