The night was silent. The next day, after packing up, Pan Jinlian and Li Aiyu continued to rush to the capital for the exam.
On this day, they came to the outskirts of a small city and saw groups of people walking past them. They had brought along their families and children. Their clothes were ragged, their faces were yellow and thin, and their eyes revealed their hardship and confusion. Pan Jinlian didn't pay attention at first, but after seeing more, she had doubts in her heart." Brother Wenhao, who are these people? Why were they all dragging their families and children, dressed in rags, and their eyes filled with misery and confusion?”
Li Aiyu said worriedly,"These are all homeless 'floaters!”
"'Who's a floater?" Pan Jinlian asked.
"'The floaters are those who have lost their fields and have to flee from their homes.”
"Does the imperial court not know that these floating visitors are in such a difficult situation?”
Li Aiyu said angrily," Today's politics are in turmoil. The party struggles are very fierce, and the people are suffering.”Li Aiyu sighed and continued,""There were two biggest parties in the late Tang Dynasty, the Bull Party and the Li Party. They controlled almost all of the country's politics, military, and economy. In order to expand their power, these two parties constantly formed cliques and fought against each other. More than ten years ago, the Bull Party was strong, and the Li Party was ostracized and persecuted. Now, the tables had turned, and the Li Party had become the masters of the country. Currently, the Li Party was very arrogant. They deceived the emperor and corrupted the court, causing the people to be in dire straits.”
As they walked, Li Aiyu and Pan Jinlian suddenly saw an old couple in ragged clothes sitting on the ground and crying. "Why are they crying? Let's go take a look." Pan Jinlian suggested kindly. So they quickly walked forward and saw a small corpse lying in front of the old couple. Li Aiyu understood everything. This was the serious social consequences of the party struggle! Li Aiyu was upright and worried about the country and the people. Looking at the small corpse lying upright, he hated the harm of the party struggle even more. At this moment, he suddenly thought of Du Fu's " 500 Words from the Capital to Fengxian County ". He could not help but raise his head and shout,""The wine and meat of the vermilion gate stink, and the road is frozen to death!”
Pan Jinlian pushed Li Aiyu and said,""You really are a bookworm. What's the use of shouting and cursing?! Could this bring a child back to life? Hurry up and get a cup of water. I have my own uses.”
Li Aiyu hurriedly found a glass of water and handed it to Pan Jinlian. Pan Jinlian took the water and spat out a Fox Core the size of a cup. It emitted a five-colored light and then put it into the water to draw a few circles. Then, Pan Jinlian poured the water into the little corpse's mouth and secretly cast an immortal spell…
A few minutes later, the little corpse spat out a few mouthfuls of black water and slowly woke up.
When the old couple saw that the child had woken up, they couldn't help but hug him and call him their darling. Pan Jinlian and Li Aiyu were so happy when they saw this. Li Aiyu unconsciously held Pan Jinlian's hand and secretly kissed her forehead as an encouragement for her good deeds.
"You're really a perverted devil. You're not serious at all. Stop messing around. There are many people here. If you want to mess around, come back tonight. It would be strange if I didn't suck you dry.”Pan Jinlian scolded Li Aiyu, but she felt extremely sweet and happy in her heart.
The old couple hugged the child and cried and laughed. Suddenly, they both turned around and knelt in front of Pan Jinlian. They thanked her loudly,"This Great Immortal's magic power is boundless. It's all thanks to you that our dog is alive.”Pan Jinlian quickly helped the old couple up.
Pan Jinlian's heart ached as she looked at the old couple and the child who were dressed in rags and had a sallow complexion."How are they going to live in the future? Forget it, I'll help them until the end.”Thinking of this, Pan Jinlian turned around and picked up a stone by the roadside. She chanted and turned the stone into a large ingot of silver. Then, she stuffed it into the old woman's hand and said,"I'll give you this silver ingot. You have to live well. The child's body was weak. He needed more nutrition.”The old couple was so excited that tears flowed down their faces. They knelt down again and thanked him,"Our family will never forget Great Immortal's great kindness!”
