April 4: "Xiao Ba'an" has encountered the "Great Nemesis Star".

Yucun is also too cruel: he only directs poisonous hands at a weakling who gave him great help. This is truly intolerable by heavenly principle!

But, this person who is intolerable by heavenly principle, heaven not only tolerates him but also lets him achieve his ambitions and become even more arrogant: Yucun's position keeps growing larger, and his wealth keeps increasing.

That doorkeeper is very pitiable, very humble. Actually he was merely a little novice monk at the Hulü miao. When the temple caught fire and burned down, he had nowhere to stay, no place to get meals, and with difficulty found this job as a guard. If he hadn't met Yucun, he could have lived out his life in peace. He returned to secular life, fell in love and married a wife—that would truly be a beautiful thing in life.

And yet, given his fate full of calamities, the poor 'Xiao Ba'an' who was doing well happened to encounter his destined 'Great Nemesis Star'. That 'Great Nemesis Star' not only smashed his meager clothing and food, but also ruined his family and destroyed his life—Yucun furthermore feared that he would tell others of his former poverty and low status, so he was extremely displeased; eventually he found some fault with him and exiled him far away, and that was that.

The so-called distant exile was, in the past, an extremely severe punishment for criminals: they were banished to remote, desolate deserts with no inhabitants, left to starve or die of thirst, or to be devoured by wild beasts.

That doorkeeper, too pitiful; that Yucun, too malicious.

The doorkeeper's heart is still very kind; he deeply sympathizes with the weak Yingzi—a girl kidnapped and sold by traffickers, who suffered misfortune as she was bought and sold, and the doorkeeper could not bear it. When the kidnapper left, he immediately had his wife go to comfort and persuade her: "The young man who bought you has a good family, excellent character, loves male customs, stays away from women, and is a truly upright man. Your affection for him is also fate."

A little sympathy from the weak—aside from tears and comforting words, what else could there be? But Yucun doesn't buy that; people like Yucun regard the weak as mere grass and dirt, which they can freely **, trample, and scatter at will…
