When Fangzheng saw this, he generously received it and opened it. He smiled. "Hehe! There are so many vegetables. I can make dumplings. Heh heh … "
Upon seeing Fangzheng's smiling face and his childish side, Su Hong and company laughed as well. At that instant, the generation gap between a master and an ordinary person instantly vanished. It was as though they had returned to the past. Fangzheng was Fangzheng, and they were themselves. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious …
"You want to eat dumplings? I'll get some flour for you and make a thousand dumplings for you to freeze! Eat if you want! "Su Hong immediately shouted.
Fangzheng smiled happily. "Thank you, Patron. However, This Penniless Monk isn't in a rush. Patrons, it's best you deal with the aftermath of the fire first. If there's a need, This Penniless Monk will definitely do his best to help. "
Chen Jin said, "Don't bother about that. The matter of the house is this darn kid's problem!"
Chen Jin kicked Chen Long.
Chen Long chuckled. "To have such a father, there's no one else like him …"
In the end, he received another slap …
After the commotion, the few of them walked into the temple to offer incense. When they looked up, they realized that the child-giving Guan Yin statue was gone. There was an additional golden cloth with the child-giving Guan Yin and the Thousand-hand Guan Yin drawn on it. The few of them were immediately delighted. The offering of incense was just a gesture to give Fangzheng some incense money. After all, they already had a child, so there was nothing for them to ask for.
Now, with the Thousand-hand Guan Yin, things were different. There were too many things they could ask for!
Chen Jin and Su Hong prayed for their family to be safe. Chen Long prayed for his career to be smooth. Chen Long's wife prayed for their child to grow up healthily. The child prayed for more snacks …
After each person offered an incense stick, they bade farewell and left. Their house had been burned down, and there were many follow-up matters that needed to be handled by themselves. It was not suitable for them to stay on the mountain for too long.
After sending them off, Fangzheng looked at the huge bag of carrots, cabbage, and celery in front of him … He beamed. "Hehe, I can finally eat some green leafy vegetables. If I don't eat them, I won't even know what they taste like. System, can I leave the mountain freely now? "
"Yes, but are you sure the temple doesn't need anyone watching?"
Fangzheng said, "Aren't you here?"
"I don't care about these things. In addition, if the temple is robbed or destroyed, your corresponding merit points will be deducted and your evaluation for each mission will be affected. So, you better think carefully before you go down the mountain, "the system said.
Fangzheng said indifferently, "Although my monastery has more valuable items, the people who come here are all villagers. Who would steal from me? What's more, our temple has protectors. "
Be that as it may, Lone Wolf wasn't determined. He ran around all day and often didn't return home. So, how could they count on him? Fangzheng felt that he wasn't as reliable as Squirrel. When he looked up, Squirrel wasn't home either. He had no idea where he had gone.
Fangzheng immediately took back his words. Indeed, he was the most reliable!
At the foot of the mountain, Chen Jin returned to the Chen family's ruins. He frowned as he looked at the ruins.
Chen Long said, "Dad, it's already been burnt. Don't be sad. I'll build you a better one later. "
"What do you know? This house was built by your grandparents. There are too many things in it, so I can't bear to tear it down and build a new one. Now, it's all gone. Sigh. "Chen Jin sighed as his face looked a little older.
Su Hong held Chen Jin's hand and said, "It's already burnt. Don't think too much about it."
"How can I not think? Isn't the way the fire burned a little too abnormal? Everyone in the village has basically gone up the mountain, so where did the fire come from? "Chen Jin snorted coldly.
Chen Long exclaimed, "Dad, are you saying that someone set the fire?"
"I don't know, but it's possible! In the past, when there were fires, it was the brats who set off firecrackers. But this time, I don't think it's that simple. Wait here. I'll have a chat with the secretary and village chief. Regardless, this matter cannot be left unresolved. There has to be an explanation! "With that said, Chen Long left.
Su Hong and company exchanged looks as their expressions turned gloomy. If someone had really set the fire, then it was practically …
Fangzheng did not know what was happening at the foot of the mountain. In the afternoon, he took out the vegetables, plucked them, washed them, and made a pot of vegetable soup. The soup made from Unrooted Clean Aqua and vegetables left Fangzheng, Lone Wolf, and Squirrel unable to stop drinking. Finally, they laid out the characters and lay on the snow lazily.
An uneventful night passed.
The next day, Fangzheng woke up early and cleaned the temple hall. At the same time, he pondered over his future. Now that he could leave the mountain, he wanted to go out for a walk. With the cage opened, the birds naturally wanted to fly.
At that moment …
"Master, hello." At that moment, a sorrowful voice sounded from the door.
Fangzheng looked up and was instantly stunned. The person was someone he knew! A sorrowful woman was hugging a short-haired girl. The girl's face had a faint look of sorrow.
When Fangzheng saw this, he sighed and came in front of the two. He pressed his palms together and said, "Amitabha. Patrons, my condolences."
"Master, sorry for disturbing you," said Lu Shuangshuang with reddened eyes.
Fangzheng shook his head and said, "Patrons, please come in."
Lu Shuangshuang carried her daughter, Xiaomi, and walked in. Fangzheng was now a person with a stool, so he naturally did not let his guests sit on rocks or on the ground. He brought over a fire basin and the few of them sat down.
Lu Shuangshuang took out a letter and handed it to Fangzheng. "When Xiaoguo left, he gave me this letter to pass to you, Master."
It was a leather envelope. There was no stamp on it, but there were the words: To Master Fangzheng!
Fangzheng opened it and saw that it was a wordless piece of paper! Following that, Fangzheng was enlightened as he pressed his palms together. "Amitabha."
Wordless meant that he had nothing to say. Having nothing to say meant that he had no regrets.
However, Lu Shuangshuang had brought Xiaomi here. It meant that Han Xiaoguo was not truly without regrets. At the very least, he was still worried about the two of them.
"Master, with Xiaoguo gone, I'm feeling vexed. I wish to stay on the mountain for a few days to calm down. Is that alright?" asked Lu Shuangshuang suddenly.
Fangzheng was taken aback before he shook his head. "Sorry, Patron. You have seen This Penniless Monk's monastery. It's only a tiny monastery. Besides, This Penniless Monk is the only one here. It's not suitable for receiving female visitors. "
"Is that so …" Lu Shuangshuang's eyes were gloomy. Clearly, she was in a bad mood after Han Xiaoguo was executed.
Fangzheng sighed. "Patron, if you are not afraid of exhaustion, This Penniless Monk can arrange for you to stay in One Finger Village at the foot of the mountain. If you wish to pay respects to Buddha, you can come anytime in the day. "
"Thank you, Master." Lu Shuangshuang's eyes lit up when she heard that.
