Later, every time she did a good deed, Mrs. Li always wrote it down. Because she couldn't write, every time she did a good deed, she used a goose quill to print a red circle on the calendar. The so-called good deeds included giving gifts.

If you don't do any similar good deeds, such as giving food to the poor, or buying live things to release, you have to mark them with a circle like this. Sometimes, there can be more than ten red circles like this in a day! Of course, it means

He did more than a dozen good deeds in one day. These efforts were not in vain. In the year of Bingxu, Li Yuanwai actually won the Jinshi again. Not only that, the Ministry of official affairs also quickly let Li Yuanwai serve as the magistrate of a county. You know, even if he takes the exam

Most people who are promoted to Jinshi cannot become officials right away. They have to wait for a vacancy to become an official. However, Li Yuanwai seems to be very successful.

When Li Yuanwai was the county magistrate, he prepared a pamphlet with blank spaces. Li Yuanwai helped name this pamphlet "Healing the Heart" - which is to remind himself not to have evil thoughts at all times.

, do not harm others, so the word "treating the mind" is used.

When Mr. Li gets up every morning and goes to court to hear a case, he will put the book on healing the heart on the table. Whatever he does in a day, no matter how he laughs, must be written down in the book. And in the evening, Li

The members would set up a table in the courtyard, wear official uniforms, and imitate Zhao Yuedao, the iron-faced censor of the Song Dynasty, burn incense and pray to the Emperor of Heaven every day.

But when his wife saw that he was busy with official duties every day and did not have so much time to do the kind of good deeds he used to do, she often frowned and said, "I used to help you do good deeds at home, so the three thousand good deeds you have promised can be fulfilled."

Done. Now that you have made a wish to do ten thousand good deeds, there is nothing good to do in the yamen, so when will you be able to finish it?"

Mrs. Li's words also made Mr. Li a little confused. Yes, he is busy with official duties all day long. How can he have so much time to do good deeds such as helping the poor and repairing bridges and roads like before?

He was thinking every day and dreaming at night. That night, Li Yuanwai dreamed of a god. He told the god his worries. After hearing this, Tiansheng laughed loudly and said: "There are thousands of kinds of good deeds."

"Relieving the poor, repairing bridges and roads, and respecting the elderly and the virtuous are considered good things, but as a county magistrate, you have reduced or exempted the county's money and food. This alone is worth ten thousand good deeds."

It turned out that in the county where Li Yuanwai worked, people had to pay two cents, three cents and seven cents per acre of land. Yuan Wai felt that the people's financial burden was too heavy and their lives were too hard, so he reorganized the entire county's fields;

The amount of grain payable per mu of land was reduced to one cent, four cents and six cents, and the people's lives suddenly became much easier. In this way, Li Yuanwai continued to do good deeds. According to the old man's calculation, when Li Yuanwai was forty-five years old,

He should have died, but he is now fifty-two years old and still in good health.

Li Yuanwai's experience is also a living textbook for him - it truly makes him feel that in this world, although many things have been determined, everyone can achieve success through their own efforts and kindness.

It's a change in destiny that was originally determined.

But later, as life became smoother and smoother, Li Yuanwai gradually relaxed his demands on himself, and the evil thoughts and evil thoughts deep in his heart in the past two years continued to show up in all aspects of life, which may have led to

The cause of this disaster.

But this time, how should he deal with such a foreign Japanese with extraordinary prediction ability and evil heart? For the first time, Yuan Wai Li felt extremely frightened, panicked, and helpless. Who can help him?

After thinking about it, he thought of that Zen Master Yungu. This accomplished Zen Master was a noble person in his life. If it hadn't been for Yungu's advice last time, his life trajectory would have been exactly what the old man had calculated. Exactly.

It was Zen Master Yungu's teachings that enabled him to successfully break out of the established life rut and gain a new lease of life.

But this time, he once again encountered fatal threats and confusion. I wonder if Zen Master Yungu can still help him?

Although they did not meet often, Li Yuanwai kept in touch with Zen Master Yungu. This time, because the matter was urgent, he specially sent five strong servants to ride fast horses day and night to deliver a letter written by him.

In this letter to Zen Master Yungu, Li Yuanwai described in detail the whole story - how his wife got a strange disease, how he asked a famous doctor to treat her illness, how he lured a wolf into the house, etc.

After the letter was sent, Li Yuanwai eagerly looked forward to Zen Master Yungu's reply.

Mr. Zhang, on the other hand, became more and more obsessed with the foreigner and became more and more inseparable from him. Even sometimes during the day, the foreigner would not leave, but would hide in the room and have blatant lewdness with Mrs. Li. Mr. Li was really angry.

He was anxious, but he didn't dare to make it too public, for fear that his mother would know. If the old lady knew that such a scandal had happened in the family, she would be furious. As a filial son, Mr. Li always paid special attention to his mother when he considered everything.

Feel.

Not only these, more terrible situations have emerged.

Many of his servants, and even the accountant in the shop, were becoming more and more disobedient. Sometimes, when he gave orders, they would often disobey them, or they would push back and find all kinds of excuses to delay. Later, he asked his most trusted old man to delay.

The servant secretly investigated and was shocked to find that it was Zhang who was behind this. Zhang did not hesitate to spend money to bribe many servants and accountants, slowly increasing the property and power of the entire family.

Transfer it to her hands.

Li Yuanwai suddenly felt that his home had become so scary and insecure. He often woke up from nightmares. In his dreams, he either dreamed of being strangled to death by a servant or Mrs. Zhang, or dreamed of drinking poisonous wine.

He was poisoned to death. Every time he woke up, he was scared and sweating profusely.

In normal times, he also began to become suspicious. For example, he sometimes dared not eat or drink water for fear of poison. Sometimes before going to bed at night, he would repeatedly check whether the doors and windows were closed, just in case someone assassinated him at night. It was really a bit strange.

It felt like everything was at war. Li Yuanwai felt that his daily life had suddenly become a kind of torture. Except for the occasional pleasure of having sex with Zihong, it was the only way to relax. He felt that he would collapse soon.

As for Zen Master Yungu's letter, it would probably take some time to wait due to the long journey. What worried him even more was that his youngest son - the son he had with Mr. Zhang - was suffering from a strange disease:

stomachache;

Stomach pain alone is certainly not a strange disease. The strange thing is that not only does it hurt, but something in the stomach also seems to be growling from time to time. If you don't listen carefully, the sound is like a gurgling sound from the stomach. When a person has a stomachache,

, is often accompanied by a grunting sound, which is normal, but if you listen carefully, you will know that the sound is not the usual grunting sound, but more like the sound of an insect.

When the pain first started, Mr. Li was not particularly worried. He felt that as long as the old famous doctor was called in, this kind of minor illness would be cured. But the matter was far from being as simple as he thought. After the old famous doctor came, he carefully touched it.

He checked the child's pulse, and then listened carefully to the sound coming from the child's stomach. He couldn't help but frown. This was the first time that Mr. Li saw the old famous doctor helpless when seeing a doctor. He couldn't help but panic, and asked quickly: "Quinzi's condition?"

Is the illness serious?"

The old famous doctor did not answer immediately, but shook his head with a sad look on his face and guilt: "To tell you the truth, I have never seen this kind of disease that your young master has in my decades of medical practice, and it has never been mentioned in medical books.

I have never read about this disease, so I apologize for my lack of knowledge and lack of knowledge, and there is really nothing I can do about it."

Mr. Li became even more nervous when he heard this. Mr. Li's mother next to him couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw that even the famous doctor could not cure her grandson's illness.

This little grandson is the apple of the eye of the old lady. Her daughter-in-law, Ms. Zhang, has a mean and selfish personality. She has little affection for her biological son and usually ignores her, as if he is not her own at all. However, this child does not mean anything to Ms. Zhang.

I rarely go to Zhang's yard, and I have never had the closeness that a mother and son should have with Zhang. On the contrary, I am inseparable from my grandmother, and the relationship between grandfather and grandson is particularly deep.

Yuan Wai Li's eldest son has already married and has children, and has started his own business, taking charge of part of his family's business in the south. Therefore, Yuan Wai Li only has this younger son around him, and because he has a son at an old age, he also loves this younger son very much.

.

What I didn't expect was that the house leaked and it rained all night, and the boat was late and encountered a storm. The family was already in danger, but at this time, my youngest son got a strange disease again.

Seeing his son crying in pain on the bed, and his old mother also in tears, thinking about this family, and then thinking about his extremely difficult situation, Mr. Li was really heartbroken. This was the biggest crisis he had encountered.

Li Yuanwai endured the extreme pain in his heart, returned to his study, closed the door, prostrated in front of the enshrined Buddha statue, and burst into tears. The various pressures and hardships he had endured for such a long time had made him physically and mentally exhausted. He really wanted to

I should have died at the age of forty-five, as the old man predicted, and I would not have suffered like this.

After crying for a long time, the depression and pain in his heart were slightly relieved. Thinking of his youngest son and his old mother who was over seventy years old, he knew that he had no choice but to face the situation with strength.

Everything. Mr. Li wiped away his tears, stood up and rummaged around on the bookshelf. What he was looking for was the book "Healing the Heart".

That "Healing the Heart" helped him rediscover the coordinates of his life and regain his confidence in life when he was most confused and helpless. Now, he has encountered insurmountable obstacles in his life.

, so he hopes that this book can inspire him.

This "Healing the Heart" book was really effective and immediately made his body and mind very stable. When he was studying when he was a child, he heard a gentleman say that words have a very magical power. Therefore, the ancients were very fond of things with words.
