Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Disaster Strikes

A Bing was looking for light in suffering... Just as A Bing's rap was getting closer to the people at the bottom and reflecting the aspirations of the people, an unfortunate thing happened... This afternoon, A Bing was playing the piano at home when he suddenly heard: "Brother A Bing, open the door quickly." "Who is it?" "It's me, Aju." A Bing opened the door and saw A Ju standing outside, so he asked, "A Ju, why are you here?" "Brother Bing, I'll go back home and there will be no one left. Brother Bing, please accept me, I really have nowhere to go..." Aju cried sadly as she spoke.

A Bing looked at poor A Ju, afraid that she would throw herself into the lake again.After thinking about it, he decided to accept her temporarily, and said, "Okay, just be my sister!" One day, A Bing sang in the paddock in front of the Sanwanchang Teahouse in Chong'an Temple. He sang by himself, arranged and sang the girl's experience, and accused the rich man of his crimes. A Bing sang while pulling. Aju stood aside and wept. A Bing said: "Look, everyone, this girl was only thirteen years old, but she was bullied. She threw herself into the lake, and I rescued her. That rich man is no better than a beast! Please help, to avenge this poor girl."

The more and more people around... An aunt heard this and said angrily, "Catch that boss and beat him." An old man said: "It's a crime, a child who is only so old has suffered such a catastrophe." "Kill that boss!" a middle-aged man shouted. "kill him!" When everyone was going to arrest the boss, the boy in the cloth shop said: "The boss has already scared away." The white-haired Uncle Wang said to A Bing: "A Bing, you did the right thing." From then on, A Bing sang on the street. He took advantage of the disadvantages of the times, criticized the darkness, and praised the people with music that the people liked, which was welcomed by the people.

A Bing heard that Li's father's family, who lived in a poor alley in the west of the city, wanted to marry a wife and had no money to hire a drummer, so he offered to help. On the wedding day, Father Li and his son were worried that there would be no festive atmosphere. Father Li said, "What should I do? The new daughter-in-law is about to enter the house, and there is no sedan chair, so I have to play a bit!" The son said: "Father, we have no money, so forget it!" At this time, A Bing invited some poor buddies to come to Chuichuidadadi.Father Li's house suddenly became much more lively, and everyone rushed to hear the sound of blowing and beating.

When the new daughter-in-law came, A Bing became even more violent. Heaven and earth are finished. A Bing pulled up the erhu again and played the cheerful Cantonese music "Joyful Yang". Father Li's family was overjoyed and thanked A Bing. Father Li took A Bing's hand and said, "A Bing, you have done me a great favor, and I don't know how to repay you." A Bing said: "Father Li, helping the poor is what a Taoist should do. Daoyue is celestial music, and it is for the salvation of all beings." "Okay, A Bing, thank you." One day, A Bing was eating, when the old man Wang found him on the opposite street, and begged him, "A Bing, my old father is dead, and he will be buried tomorrow. Please……"

Before the old man Wang finished speaking, A Bing said: "Don't worry, don't worry, tomorrow I will find some poor buddies to help you play for the funeral, and it will definitely comfort the soul of the old man." After hearing this, old man Wang didn't know how to thank A Bing. The next day, A Bing invited some poor buddies to the old man Wang's house to help him play for the funeral. Although the funeral was only a thin coffin, the playing was of a high level, which attracted people all over the street to watch. Finally, the old man Wang did not die for his dead father in a cold and peaceful manner, but sent his father to heaven with great excitement. He said to A Bing, "A Bing, I really didn't expect your heart to be so kind."

A Bing gave wedding and funeral performances to the poor for free, and was loved by the poor, but aroused the jealousy of Taoist Zhang Daohua who had been against him. He slandered A Bing everywhere, saying that he went to give people weddings and funerals as a trumpeter, which disgraced Taoist priests.But the Taoist priest of Lei Zun Temple asked A Bing to come back, so he had to go to A Bing, who was washing clothes by the river. When Ah Bing saw him coming, he turned his head aside and didn't want to talk to him. "A Bing, if you still want to go back to the Taoist temple, then stop being an advocator for poor people's weddings and funerals."

"Why?" A Bing put down the clothes in his hand and said seriously, "It is because they are poor, they have no money, and they cannot afford to hire people to do the ashram, so we should help them." Zhang Daohua said angrily: "Help them, hum! Seeing that you can't even eat, you still help them for free." "That's my business, don't worry about it!" Mo Bing said angrily. "Okay then! Go and be your trumpeter!" A Bing is still playing on the street, and people often bring food and water to A Bing... "A Bing, come, eat two steamed buns. Our family is steaming steamed buns today, and I'll bring you a few." An old woman said.

"Thank you ma'am." An old man came over, handed some oranges to A Bing, and said, "A Bing, it seems that you play the piano and rap every day, and your throat is about to fail. Come, eat some fruits to moisten your throat." "Thank you, sir." When the children on the street saw A Bing sitting and playing the piano, they all ran to help him paddock. "Uncle A Bing, we will help you paddock." "We'll collect the money for you." "Okay, okay, thank you." A Bing looked for the light in the misery. He proposed that begging for food would not be a rich family, and playing the piano would not be a high school. He was with the people at the bottom every day. His rap music was getting closer to the people and reflecting their aspirations .

Just when a ray of light rose in A Bing's heart, misfortune befell... A Bing gradually felt red, swollen, painful, and pus in his left eye. He went to see a private doctor. The doctor said, "You need to go to a foreign hospital for this disease. I don't have that kind of medicine." A Bing felt that his eyesight was declining and his vision was blurred. He hurried to the foreign hospital to see him. The doctor opened his eyelids and looked at him and said, "Your eyes are in danger of blindness. You need an injection." "How much does it cost?" A Bing asked.

The doctor said the amount that made Ah Bing dumbfounded. Ah Bing thought to himself, even if he sold me, he would not have so much money. Ah Bing left the foreign hospital disappointed. Finally, Ah Bing went blind in his left eye. "Ah! Why can't I see this eye?" A Bing cried out in pain. The only answer to him was the squeaking of mice stealing food in the house. A Bing rushed out of the house like crazy, and he shouted to the sky in pain: "God, why did you treat me like this? God, don't you want me to live..." Not far away, thunder rumbled, and it began to rain cats and dogs. A Bing fell on the stone bridge and passed out. The twin father came over with an umbrella, and was surprised when he saw it: "Ah, there is a person lying here...ah, it's A Bing." He hurriedly helped A Bing up. "A Bing, why are you lying here?" "You are……" "I'm Daddy Li. My son married a wife. It was you who helped me find a trumpeter." "Father Li, I'm blind in one eye...I'm done." Father Li supported him and said, "Go, I'll help you go back." Back in the house, A Bing threw himself on the bed, weeping sadly. Old man Li sighed and said, "Oh, these days, good people suffer a lot. Look, your clothes are all wet. Change quickly. I'll come see you tomorrow." "Brother A Bing." A Bing turned around and saw that it was Aju, he said sadly: "Aju, my left eye is blind, what should I do?" "I heard, Brother A Bing, I'm here to take care of you, I'm not leaving." "Ah, no, it's not fair, you're young." "Brother A Bing, you are my savior, and I want to repay you." "No, Aju, absolutely not, let's go, I'll take you back to Jiangyin." "No, I'm not leaving, brother A Bing, do you dislike me?" A Bing was in a hurry, he shook A Ju's shoulders with both hands and said, "No, it's not disgusting, but it's unethical, let's go, I'll take you back." "Since the elder brother insists on refusing, follow me to my hometown in Jiangyin, where your eyes may be cured." "Also." In Jiangyin, A Bing met Zhao Zhu, his childhood friend. A Bing knew that he was always honest and strong, so he wanted Aju to marry him. When he came back, he said to Aju, "Aju, you are not young." Now, it's time to find a husband's house." Ah Ju thought that Ah Bing was going to marry her, so she said happily: "Well, Brother Ah Bing, I knew you would not dislike me." "No, it's not me, Aju, it's Zhao Zhu." "Brother Zhao Zhu?" "Yes, he is honest, honest, and physically strong. If you follow him, you must have a good life, but I, a half-blind..." "Bingo, even if you are completely blind, I want you too." A Bing fell silent. He knew that his right eye was also inflamed, and he would be completely blind soon. How could he bear to hurt this poor girl? She was already unfortunate enough to not bring her another disaster.Thinking of this, Ah Bing said firmly: "Aju, Zhao Zhu has already agreed, and he will marry you soon. In the future, you and your old father will live with him so that you can rely on him." "No, Brother A Bing..." Aju threw herself into A Bing's arms and said with tears streaming down her face, "Brother A Bing...I...I like you...you want me!" Unbuttoning her clothes, Ah Bing hurriedly stopped her. "Brother A Bing, you gave me my life, and I also gave you my body...Brother A Bing..." At this time, A Bing, his heart was beating violently, he really wanted to hug this lovely and amiable Aju... But, he held back... He broke free from Aju panting heavily, and ran to At the door, he said: "Aju...you can prepare, my brother will officiate the wedding for you." A Bing thought to himself: ... I will go blind soon, I can't harm this pure and innocent girl, I want to make her happy, she can't suffer any more blows. On this day, a simple wedding was held in Zhao Zhu's old tile-roofed house.Zhao Zhu's mother was dead, his old father was paralyzed on the bed, and A Bing presided over the wedding.A lot of folks came. Aju said: "Everyone knows that my life was saved by Brother A Bing, and my marriage with Zhao Zhu was also arranged by him. In today's wedding, Zhao Zhu and I will kowtow to him first." As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Zhu He kowtowed to A Bing and was supported by A Bing. A Bing said: "Don't kowtow, the poor should help the poor." After worshiping heaven and earth, A Bing played the erhu to add excitement to the wedding. A Bing played the erhu, and his heart seemed to fly to Taihu Lake. Looking at the vast Taihu Lake, he thought of his beloved Qinmei. He didn't know where she was at the moment ? Ah Bing's melancholy expression was noticed by A Ju, and she hurriedly said: "Please come to the table and try my dishes. Brother A Bing, come and eat." Only then did Ah Bing come back to his senses. He put away the huqin and sat down at the table.At this time, Aju brought the dishes, and everyone praised: "It's not easy for the bride to cook by herself." An aunt said: "A Zhu is really blessed to marry such a beautiful, virtuous and capable daughter-in-law." "Yes, yes, Ah Zhu is so blessed." An old man also said.
