    He pretended not to know anything and walked forward. On the ancient bluestone road, the piece of gold exuded a bright light, as if it was directly reflected in everyone's heart.

    "My bonesare also filled with demon blood?" Xu Luo smiled mockingly, breaking some simple and beautiful things with his own hands, but he didn't feel any guilt at all.

    At this moment, the timid voice of a little boy suddenly came from behind.

    "Uncle, you lost your stuff!"

    Xu Luo's body trembled slightly, a mocking smile froze on his face, and he slowly turned around.

    I saw a little boy of seven or eight years old, wearing very ordinary but very clean clothes, standing in front of the piece of gold, looking at him with curiosity and a hint of timidity in his big black and white eyes.

    Behind the little boy is a simple-looking couple.

    The man is in his thirties, with a strong build, dark skin, and thick hands and feet. At first glance, he looks like the kind of person who does heavy work all year round. He looks at Xu Luo with a very innocent look.

    The woman next to the man has an ordinary appearance and rough skin. She seems a little embarrassed to look directly at Xu Luo. There has never been such a beautiful young man in this small town.

    Some people around looked at the piece of gold with envy and surprise, but there was no greed.

    Xu Luo smiled, looked at the little boy and said, "Little brother, do you know what this is?"

    "I know, it's gold!" Perhaps it was Xu Luo's kindness that made the little boy bolder, he said crisply.

    "Then do you know what it represents?" Xu Luo asked again.

    The little boy thought for a while and said seriously: "Marshmallow!" He licked his lips, swallowed, and said hesitantly: "Beautiful new clothes! Nice toys!"

    "Haha, then why do you still remind uncle?" Xu Luo came over, squatted down, picked up the large piece of gold on the ground, and said with a smile: "Can uncle give it to you?"

    "I don't want it!" The little boy suddenly felt as if he had been insulted, and with an angry expression on his face, he said loudly: "My parents have said that you can't take other people's things!"

    At this time, there was an old man in his fifties next to him, frowning at Xu Luo, and said softly: "Foreigner, I don't know where you are from, but judging from your clothes, you are also a child of a wealthy family. You may not know that we are  The situation here. Although we are poor, we live a happy life. Although we have rarely seen gold, we know its value. Please don¡¯t pollute a child¡¯s pure heart in this way!¡±

    "Yes, young man, you may be rich, but we don't envy you. We can tell at a glance that you are unhappy!" A middle-aged aunt looked at Xu Luo worriedly and said seriously: "Have you encountered something?  Don¡¯t dwell on unhappy things, no matter how difficult it is, it will pass.¡±

    "Hurry up and put this gold away! It's so beautiful! But if a bad person sees it, you will be in danger!"

    "That's right, wealth should not be revealed, young man, don't you understand the truth that we all understand, but you don't understand it?"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? No one is interested in the gold in Xu Luo's hand.

    Xu Luo¡¯s spiritual consciousness swept across it, and no one in the entire street had any unfavorable thoughts towards him!

    The corner of Xu Luo's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly laughed. His eyes showed a clean look that he had not seen for a long time. He bowed to these people seriously and thanked them seriously.

    Then he apologized to the little boy: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used it to **** you."

    "I forgive you! My parents said that mistakes can be forgiven as long as they are made unintentionally. I don't blame you." The little boy said, grinning: "When I grow up, I will be like  Go hunting like daddy, and catch lots of prey, and then I can use them in exchange for gold!¡±

    "Hahaha, little kid, do you know that you can't get that piece of gold even if you hunt prey all your life?"

    "Yes, it's such a big piece. The last time I went to the county town, I saw a rich man spending gold as small as a fingernail and buying a lot of things!"

    "It would be good if we could earn enough copper coins to live on. Goldit's okay to just dream!"

    ¡°I didn¡¯t go out for a walk today in vain. At least, I saw gold, haha!¡±

    People around him were talking, laughing, and making fun of the little boy.

    The little boy lowered his head in embarrassment, but whispered seriously: "I can hunt wild beasts! I can sell gold!"

    Xu Luo stood up, smiled and touched the little boy's head, and then said to the little boy's parents: "Brothers and sisters, I came from afar and want to stay here for a while. I see there is no inn in this town. Can I stay at your house for a few days?  Don't worry I will reward you.  "

    The young woman looked troubled, but the young man next to her was straightforward and said: "I'm afraid my house is too shabby and you won't be used to living there. If you are fine, then it doesn't matter how many days you stay there, the remuneration and so on don't mention it again.  "

    "Our family" The young woman hesitated, wanting to say something.

    The young man showed a simple smile and said: "I know what you are thinking. In fact, I can tell that this little brother is probably in a bad mood and wants to escape for a few days. I have met this kind of noble young man before, who came here specifically to  Some poor places are called oh, they are called experience life! "

    "Our family is very poor!" The young woman fiddled with her clothes and seemed embarrassed to say this.

    "It's okay, sister-in-law, I can get used to it. I used to sleep rough in the mountains and forests." Xu Luo said with a smile.

    "That's okay, just in time. Madam, go get some wine and buy some good food. I'll have a few drinks with my little brother!" The young man said, looking at the old man and middle-aged man who just spoke: "Do you want to  Come?"

    ¡°Ha, you, the most experienced big hunter in town, are treating you, why don¡¯t you go?¡± Those people laughed.

    "Okay, I'll be here soon!" The young man waved his hand happily and made his decision.

    Xu Luo originally thought that his wife would complain a few words, but he did not expect that after seeing her husband make the decision, the young woman did not complain at all and directly took the little boy to buy wine and food.

    Xu Luo took out a piece of silver, which was not big, but for the residents of the town, it was definitely a big fortune. He wanted to buy groceries for the young woman, because he really didn¡¯t have such a thing as a copper plate

    But the young man glared: "What's the point of asking guests to spend money? Take it back quickly! Otherwise, don't mention the matter of staying at my house again!"

    Xu Luo smiled bitterly, and had no choice but to put away the money temporarily, and then followed the young man, accompanied by several small town residents, to the young man's home.

    When he got here, Xu Luo discovered that this young man's home was indeed very simple.

    The three low mud houses look very dilapidated and feel out of place with some of the larger bluestone houses around them.

    The young man didn¡¯t feel too uncomfortable. He smiled and said to Xu Luo, ¡°This is my home!¡±

    The old man next to him, on the other hand, explained to Xu Luo: "Stones are not easy to make. He has been an orphan since he was a child. He grew up eating hundreds of meals in the town. He went hunting in the mountains when he was a teenager and built the stone with his own hands.  He bought this house, married a wife and had a baby, so everyone in our town admires him very much!¡±

    Someone else said from the side: "Isn't the construction of Shitou's new house about to start soon? By then, I'm afraid Shitou's house will be the best in our town!"

    "Yes, Shitou has become very famous in the past few years for hunting, and some of the nobles in the county know Shitou's name!"

    Facing the praise of others, the young man Shitou seemed a little uncomfortable. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "Why do you mention this in front of a true noble?"

    Everyone laughed and seemed not to regard Xu Luo as some kind of noble person.  It seems that in their eyes, everyone is equal.

    Although everyone can see that Xu Luo is a noble son and has money, no one shows that kind of flattery to Xu Luo because of this.

    Soon, the young woman bought back the food and wine, and quickly packed them away. An alluring aroma soon wafted out of the kitchen of the small thatched house.

    The old man seemed to be feeling a little emotional and said: "Shitou has found a good wife! She is gentle and courteous, and can cook well. Most importantly, she has given birth to a son for you. From now on, Shitou can be your grandpa and tease your grandson."  "

    Shitou scratched his head and said: "How could I have thought that it was so far away? Anyway, it is my biggest dream to let the two of them live a good life!"

    "This dream is real!" Xu Luo said from the side, he couldn't help but think of his parents.

    My father Xu Ji once said the same thing back then: My greatest achievement in this life is not what general I became, how many people I commanded and how many battles I won My greatest achievement is marrying my wife and having two children.  A son!  As long as my wife and children can be happy, that will be my greatest achievement in this life!

    "I wonder if my parentsare they okay now?" Xu Luo suddenly became homesick and missed his relatives.

    ??Then, the young woman brought the prepared wine and food, authentic farm food, but each dish exuded an alluring aroma, and even Xu Luo couldn't wait to try it.head.

    This made Xu Luo a little surprised, and he sighed in his heart: This kind of simple feeling How many years has it been since he had it?

    Looking at the other people, they were all similar to Xu Luo, looking impatient.

    Xu Luo suddenly realized something in his heart. Faced with priceless gold, these people could remain unmoved. It wasn't that they didn't know the value of gold. On the contrary, except for that little stone everyone was interested in the value of gold.  The value is clear!

    But they were not tempted or greedy. This was a simple thought engraved in their bones: Don¡¯t take other people¡¯s things!  Because once you take it, you may gain something, but you will lose even more!

    On the contrary, they all showed greedy expressions when facing a table of ordinary wine and food. That was because this table of wine and food was not just a table of wine and food, it symbolized the unity of the town and the mutual respect between these neighbors.  Friendship!

    You can take this. After taking it, no one will lose anything, but everyone will gain more!

    Between gains and losses, these real secular mortals, in fact, see it more clearly than anyone else.

    Many of the philosophies of life are not necessarily spoken by everyone, but are made by this group of the most ordinary and ordinary people in the world
