"Old and young men of the northeast, let's not say anything else. Our lives were saved by Abbot Fangzheng. Although there was a disaster, we are still here. We are here when we are at home. I think our losses aren't as great as we imagined. After rebuilding our homes, I want to donate to expand One Finger Monastery! Regardless of whether Abbot Fangzheng is around or not, this is the only thing we can do to repay him. "
"That's right! Expand One Finger Monastery! "
"That's right. Abbot Fangzheng isn't around, but his disciples are! Expand One Finger Monastery and pass down Abbot Fangzheng's good deeds! "
"I'll donate too!"
"Although I'm not from the northeast, count me in."
"Count me in. I'll donate too!"
…
With the commotion on the Internet, Wang Yougui, who was doing recovery work, also received the news. He hurriedly ran to One Finger Monastery.
However, he had only taken two steps when a young monk walked over.
"Venerable Jingxin, why did you come down the mountain? How is the mountain? Is your master back? " Wang Yougui was truly anxious. To many people, Fangzheng was a protective talisman. He was a person with great divine powers.
However, to the people of One Finger Village, it wasn't just a matter of financial resources. They were more concerned.
To them, Fangzheng was family more than anything else!
After all, they had watched Fangzheng grow up. When Fangzheng was sick, they were the ones who took care of him. Now that the child had grown up and flown … how could they not be concerned?
Red Boy pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. Patron, don't be agitated. My master has already left, but before he left, he left a message. My master plans on asking you to sell the materials for the expansion of the monastery on the mountain. The money from selling them will be used to help everyone rebuild their homes. "
Wang Yougui wore a bitter look when he heard that. He sighed and said, "Sigh … The child has finally grown up. His realm is different."
With that said, Wang Yougui looked at Red Boy and asked, "Is he really not coming back?"
Red Boy smiled and didn't say a word. Red Boy, who had never blushed when he lied, didn't know why he couldn't lie when he saw Wang Yougui's aged face. All he could do was give a vague smile.
Wang Yougui shook his head and said, "Forget it. Don't lie to me to make me happy. You might as well not give me hope. It was a good thing that Fangzheng could go to Paradise and become Buddha. I'll go down the mountain now and get someone to transport the wood up the mountain. I'll settle the accounts and hand them over to you. Don't worry, I won't spend a single cent on anything else. I'll definitely use it when it's most important. "
Red Boy pressed his palms together and said, "Since Master has handed everything to Patron, This Penniless Monk is naturally at ease. Benefactor, Master has left. There are still many things to deal with on the mountain. I will take my leave now. By the way, there's something else. One Finger Monastery might be moving. "
"Move?" Wang Yougui was stunned. "Your master isn't here anymore. How can you move? If you stay here, we can still take care of you. If you leave this place, where will you go? "
Red Boy flicked his sleeves and smiled. "It's not that I'm moving, but One Finger Monastery is moving."
Wang Yougui was confused and asked, "Why don't I understand? Isn't One Finger Monastery's relocation the same as your relocation? Are you going to renounce asceticism? "
Red Boy just smiled and didn't say anything. He waved his hand and left.
Wang Yougui was filled with questions, but it wasn't his place to chase after him. He turned around and prepared to get someone to move the wood up the mountain.
As a result, when he turned around, Wang Yougui was shocked to find that the wooden block had been completely moved down without him noticing!
What surprised Wang Yougui even more was the amount of wood. After so long, some of the materials had already been used by the craftsmen to build houses. Logically speaking, there should have been less of them. However, everything in front of him was the same as before!
"Could time have been reversed? Or is it the work of a divine power? " Wang Yougui mumbled. However, since the matter was related to One Finger Monastery, it wasn't strange for anything to happen.
Regardless, Wang Yougui followed Fangzheng's instructions. He contacted people to protect the wood and began contacting buyers.
"Village Chief, are we going to sell all this wood?" Dog Song looked at the wood and felt his heart ache.
Chen Jin said, "Village Chief, what about the money after the wood is sold? I think it's a little troublesome to leave the money in our village. "
Sun Qiancheng added, "I find it troublesome too. We have earned some money over the past year. Besides, our village didn't suffer too much from the earthquake. We just need to tidy up and reinforce the houses. That should be enough. Instead, the losses in the city are too great. Why don't we donate all the money? "
Tan Juguo said with a smile, "At least all of you are aware and have a conscience. However, I think we can't donate all the money."
Dog Song was stunned. "Uncle Tan, aren't you a little unaware of what you're saying?"
Tan Juguo raised his tobacco pipe and smashed it on his head. He scolded jokingly, "Don't worry. If you are more aware than me, you can be the secretary."
Dog Song grinned and hurriedly shook his head. "Forget it. I can't do it …"
Wang Yougui said, "I agree with the secretary. Fangzheng is talking about supporting the construction of the disaster area. We are also a disaster area, so it's not too much to leave some money behind. How about this? No matter how much it is sold, our village will leave a thousand. "
"Uh …" Everyone was rendered speechless. A thousand? What was that for?
Chen Jin said, "I got it. We are leaving some symbolically. After all, it's fair. This is Fangzheng's final gift. We should also benefit from it. Is that what you mean? "
Wang Yougui smiled and continued, "I have another suggestion. Everyone, listen to it. The reason why our village was able to develop is not only because of Mt. One Finger, but also because people from Songwu County and other places are willing to come here for sightseeing and to spend money. Now that everyone has suffered a disaster, our losses aren't that great … "
"Village Chief, isn't it troublesome to beat around the bush? Isn't it just a donation? I'll donate! "Dog Song was the first to shout.
Chen Jin, Sun Qiancheng, Yang Hua, and company were amused when they heard that. They raised their hands. "Donate!"
"Alright then. How much you donate later, throw it into the bucket over there. Record it here and write down how much you donate! Don't write too little or too much. If it's found out, don't blame me for not using my tobacco pipe. I'll whip you with a pole! "Tan Juguo scolded jokingly.
Everyone laughed out loud. "Secretary, we have already come to terms with such a huge earthquake. We have long come to terms with it. Humans had to act like humans in order to live! If they only care about themselves, they aren't humans. They are animals. "
…
No one realized that a person had appeared in the village at some point in time. He was standing beside them and looking at them silently with a smile. Finally, he pressed his palms together and gave a Buddhist proclamation before turning to leave.
On the way up the mountain.
"Master, I've always been puzzled. Why did you insist on ascending in the end? Isn't that equivalent to wasting all the hard work you have put in over the years? "Red Boy asked, perplexed.
