Hearing the voices of people speaking in the temple the Blind man stopped, “Friends, will you allow me to come inside and take shelter from the rain?”
“You won’t be able to find any place else if you continue walking So just co every effort to make his voice sound like that of an adult
“Thanks” The blind round with his wooden cane After entering the roped about fro onto the east side wall
Within the hall, there was a bonfire, and from the luminance of the bonfire, everyone was able to clearly see the appearance of this blind man This h his eyes were closed, but one could clearly make out that his eyeballs had beco all year round, his skin colour had become very dark, and his face bore the hardshi+ps of travel
The blinddown he re There were a change of clothes, a pair of old shoes, there were even so objects In addition to this, there was a paper bag and inside of it were two flatbreads
The blind ht it to hison it slowly
All the while that everyone had been living here, there had beento take succour here Therefore, they didn’t care too much about the appearance of this blind e earlier revealing its contents to the crowd, re so took a bowl of hot water and delivered it to the blindthe bread
After returning to his original spot, Nan Feng once again looked at the blind man Earlier when he had delivered the water, he had found out that the teeth of the blind man were very neat, there were no tartar stains This was contrary to common sense Let alone other 50-year-old people, even 30-year-old younger people would also rarely have such clean teeth
After the blind chuan walked over to ask for the custo brotherhood The blind man answered in reply The person spoke at a steady pace, neither too fast, nor too slow The words were articulated clearly, with rarely a pause in between, and spoken with a gentle ease

“Wine” Fatty put on his begging face
Nan Feng waved his hand to and fro, “Notfor the swear”
“Just one sip” Fatty continued to beg
Nan Feng shook his head
“We are brothers who faced trials and tribulations beside each other, and you are not willing to let
Nan Feng ignored hi the main road

After walking just a few tens of steps, Nan Feng stopped, and handed out the bottle from his bosom to fatty, “Promise to me, only one sip”
The fatty readily prorab the wine flask
Seeing the fatty not use the nozzle and rather pulling open the lid of the flask, Nan Feng hurriedly reached out to take it back but he was too late The fatty had already drunk a big mouthful
Nan Feng shook the wine flask finding the re only the bottom of the flask
Seeing Nan Feng showing signs of anger, the fatty rushed to stifle it, “I stood by my promise, I only drank a sip”
Nan Feng once again shook the wine flask, and deterh for one person to take a sip, he casually slipped the flask once again to fatty, “Later, we’ll go separately You go steal rooster, I will go arrange for another flask”
“Ok, Ok” Fatty cheerfully took the flask, “Right, what did you and Chang Le discuss during the meal time?”
