The centenarian is very happy these days because the young man who bullied him finally got his comeuppance.
Sometimes it’s not that I don’t report, it’s just that the time hasn’t come yet.
After being away for such a long time, when the girl carried him back to the small ruined temple, he was still in a coma.
The last thing in this world to bully is the elderly, especially a centenarian like me.
After cleaning, the old man started cooking.
"Hey, don't you all need to eat?"
After all, the old man couldn't hold it back. The girl in front of him and the boy had been in the temple for two days.
He didn't eat or sleep every day, just guarding the young man.
People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you won't be hungry. Even if you are young, you can't go two days without eating or drinking.
Although the old man really wanted to starve the two of them, what should he do if people are starving in this situation?
If you starve to death in your own temple, you will have to take responsibility for it.
What a hassle!
In the eyes of the old man, these two guys were young people with great abilities, because they looked too young.
"Don't worry about us, just eat it yourself!"
Mingshu spoke for the first time since arriving here, which finally made the old man feel much more at ease.
Although he is not very strong, you can still hear it from the other party's tone.
I feel full of energy and obviously don't look like I've been hungry for two days.
"If you don't want to eat, then just eat. You two are obviously very capable people. Why do you have to deal with an old man like me?
I have the inheritance of the mountain god, and I am living my life here, so there is no conflict of interest with you, right?"
The old man was eating noodles and chattering as if he had been wronged a lot.
"All I want in this life is contentment, and all messy things have nothing to do with me.
Looking at other people, in several nearby villages, not many people can live to be eighty years old.
The key is that when you get old, you still suffer from ailments.
Look at me again. I am now a hundred years old and still strong. According to my estimation, I can live for at least another ten or twenty years.
What a wonderful life, what a wonderful life, but it has been messed up by you like this."
As the saying goes, contentment always brings happiness, and the old man in front of me is just such a type.
Mingshu didn't understand his thoughts, because she was in the fairy world when she was born, and finally went to the underworld because of her apprenticeship.
You are at your peak as soon as you are born, how can you understand the thoughts of little people?
She didn't understand, but Zhang Shengli, who was still in a coma, did.
In the sea of consciousness, I don't know how many lives he has lived, and he has never been able to understand it. But with the words of the old man, he suddenly woke up.
The light on his body flashed, and his whole person looked a little more sacred.
He was still lying on the bed, but he sat up involuntarily.
Mingshu, who was about to say a few more words to the old man, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then his face showed excitement.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, the old man in front of him was the main reason Zhang Shengli got through the difficulties this time.
When I looked back at the old man who was still eating noodles and didn't know anything about it, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.
The old man was still talking to himself, seeming to be lamenting the world.
"Old man, I have no other abilities in my life. I am lucky enough to receive the inheritance of this mountain god.
If it weren't for this inheritance, I wouldn't know where I would be begging for food.
Everything in the world is fair.
Although I have no children in my life, God has allowed me to live for more than a hundred years, and I am content."
As he finished speaking, a faint golden light appeared on Zhang Shengli's body. The old man could not see the golden light, but Mingshu could clearly feel it.
Mingshu looked surprised and looked back at the old man, waiting for him to continue speaking.
However, this old man only focused on eating noodles and never spoke a word.
This made Mingshu anxious. In the end, seeing that the other party was really speechless, he had to give some guidance.
"I can't tell you, old man, you have a very profound understanding of life."
As expected, after hearing this, the old man burst into laughter.
I sucked the noodles in my mouth until I finished eating, and even the soup went into my stomach.
"You little kids don't understand at all.
I remember when I was your age, I even ate tree bark when I was hungry.
Now I can still eat it, so why am I dissatisfied?
Any insights into life are all nonsense. People don’t need to look forward or backward.
As long as you live in the present, be happy and comfortable now, who cares about the future?"
Mingshu just listened and looked at Zhang Shengli.
It's very strange. Following the old man's words, the golden light on Zhang Shengli's body became more and more intense, but the key point was that the old man couldn't see it yet.
"You don't have a wife or children. If you have children of your own, why don't you think about the future?"
Mingshu continued to chat with the other party through rhetorical questions.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, although I will never have the opportunity to enjoy this kind of treatment in my life.
But look at the situation in several nearby villages.
Which family has no sons or daughters?
But how are they doing now?
After a lifetime of hard work, in the end, the children grow up, start a family and start a business of their own, and then when they are capable, they live in the city with their daughter-in-law.
They have their own wives and children to support, but the two old ones are left at home and ignored.
Tell me, are they worth it?"
Seeing that Mingshu didn't speak, the old man seemed to be addicted and said with a smile: "So if you ask me to raise the child until he is an adult, then you don't have to worry about it and you can live your own life. How delicious it will be."
As his words fell, Zhang Shengli, who was still in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes.
The moment his eyes opened, a golden light shot out from his eyes.
Mingshu's eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face.
"That's right, live in the present and don't care what happens in the future!"
Zhang Shengli suddenly stood up and glanced at Mingshu, telling him not to worry.
He himself walked towards the old man and laughed.
"Old man, your one hundred years have not been in vain, you can see so clearly."
Although he was happy to be flattered, the old man still shook his head.
"That's because I have no money and am happy to be poor.
It's different for you young people, you still have a lot of time, so don't care about my opinion."
Young?
It's okay to rely on one's old skills and act like one in front of oneself.
Because after all my calculations, he is really not as old as the old man. But Ming Shu is different. This woman who can be regarded as the old man's ancestor doesn't think so.
But when it comes to how ordinary people feel about life, Ming Shuzhen may not be as powerful as the old man.
Because Mingshu has been staying in the underworld, except for practicing, he only sleeps.
Although my life was not in vain, I had very few contacts with people.
"Okay, based on what you said today, I'm going to have a couple of drinks with you."
