Fangzheng wanted to shake his head, but Su Cancan, who was behind him, hurriedly shouted, "Yes! Master saved me outside. Someone tried to rob me, but Master scared them away! He's my savior. Dad, Mom, don't tell me you're not going to thank him? "
Fangzheng was taken aback. Where was this? When did he save someone? Also, this lass didn't even blush when she lied? Was Red Boy in disguise?
When Su Cancan's parents heard that, they became nervous and asked, "Really? Are you alright? "
Before Fangzheng could say a word, Su Cancan immediately said, "Really! I'm fine. Mom, don't worry. I think that in order to thank Master, shouldn't we invite him home for a meal or something? Also, I'm hungry … "
The two of them were originally filled with anger, but after finding Su Cancan, their anger dissipated. After confirming that Su Cancan was fine and that Fangzheng was his daughter's savior, Su Cancan's father said, "Master, thank you for saving my daughter. If it's convenient, come to our house."
Fangzheng was still worried about not having food to eat or a place to sleep. Now that someone had delivered it to him, how could he reject it?
Furthermore, Fangzheng did feel that he should help the pitiful child behind him.
Hence, Fangzheng nodded and said, "Amitabha. This Penniless Monk will disturb you."
Su Cancan's father smiled and said, "My name is Su Yuan. This is my wife, Qian Ying. Master, our car is outside. Let's go together. "
Before Fangzheng could say a word, Su Cancan hurriedly pulled Fangzheng out. After distancing herself, Su Cancan whispered, "Master, save me! If you don't come home with me, my parents will beat me to death if there are no outsiders … "
What could Fangzheng say? All he could do was sigh and ask benevolently, "Patron, are you really providing for meals?"
Su Cancan was taken aback for a moment before shaking her head. "You glutton … You really can't compare to Abbot Fangzheng … Don't worry, I'll provide for you!"
Fangzheng was immediately relieved … As for ruining his image? It didn't matter …
Su Cancan's car was a big brand. Fangzheng felt very comfortable sitting inside. From the looks of it, Su Cancan's family's life was pretty good …
When they arrived at Su Cancan's house, Su Yuan invited Fangzheng to take a seat while Qian Ying cooked. Firstly, it was to entertain Fangzheng, and secondly, it was to fill Su Cancan's stomach.
After chatting for a while, Su Yuan sighed and said, "My troublesome daughter has caused you trouble."
Fangzheng smiled. "Patron, from This Penniless Monk's point of view, this young patron is rather nice. At the very least, he's not an unreasonable child."
"Not being unreasonable?" Su Yuan was taken aback, then he smiled bitterly and said, "I have never seen a child more unreasonable than her … You don't know, this child can cause trouble from a young age. I asked her to memorize the medicine manual, but she cut out all the pictures in the manual … I brought her to identify medicinal herbs, but in the end, she poured all the herbs on the floor and made a rabbit pattern. This made her grandfather so angry … his beard was blown up high. "
Fangzheng was taken aback when he heard that. He never expected this lass to be more capable than him. However, on careful thought, he understood … Su Cancan was definitely smart from a young age. Furthermore, she liked to draw from a young age. Therefore, she was using her own method to display her talent and hobbies. At the same time, she was silently protesting. Unfortunately, her parents clearly did not realize this. They only thought that she was causing trouble …
Hence, Fangzheng said, "In that case, Patron Su Cancan is also a genius at drawing?"
When Su Yuan heard that, he was stunned. Then, he shook his head and said, "This … Not really … At most, it's considered causing trouble."
When Fangzheng heard that, he smiled. "Patron, do you really think it doesn't count?"
Su Yuan fell silent …
At this moment, Qian Ying finished cooking and called everyone over to eat.
Fangzheng was really hungry as well. He sat down to eat and used A Golden Millet Dream to block everyone's vision. Then, he stuffed the rice into Salted Fish's mouth to prevent him from starving to death …
"Delicious! Delicious! Master, we haven't eaten rice on the mountain for a long time! I realized that this mortal's rice tasted pretty good! Haha … "Salted Fish shouted happily.
Fangzheng was rendered speechless. He also felt a little remorseful. It was fine to let his disciple suffer, but he felt that there was no need to suffer too much. The reason why humans improved wasn't because they could endure unnecessary hardships, but because they yearned for a better life.
Therefore, although Fangzheng approved of the cultivation method of an ascetic monk, he didn't approve of a lifetime of asceticism. An appropriate amount of asceticism, toiling one's body, experiencing life, recalling one's original intentions, and then accumulating strength to charge for a better future were the values that Fangzheng advocated.
Fangzheng didn't dare say that his thoughts were absolutely correct, but he had a nagging feeling that people had to have some meaning to this world when they lived … Otherwise, what was the point of living? To eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and then wait for death?
"It's best if I accumulate more merit and exchange for the Crystal Rice earlier," Fangzheng mumbled inwardly.
As Fangzheng thought about it, he ate. He did not realize that Su Cancan's family had stopped eating and were collectively looking at him.
When Fangzheng reacted, he looked at everyone in puzzlement. "Patron, what's wrong?"
Su Cancan grinned. "How long has it been since you last ate?"
Fangzheng thought for a moment. "About a day …"
Su Cancan rolled her eyes and said, "You haven't eaten for more than a day, and you ate half a pot. If you hadn't eaten for a few days, how much would you have eaten? "
"Cancan!" Su Yuan hurriedly berated Su Cancan, not allowing her to speak nonsense.
When Fangzheng heard that, his face turned red. He could eat to begin with, and Salted Fish was also a big eater. The two of them were hungry, so they ate freely. Half a pot of rice was only enough to fill the bottom …
"Don't listen to the silly girl's nonsense. Master, if you're hungry, feel free to eat," Su Yuan said politely.
Qian Ying said, "I don't have much else, but this rice is a little good. Eat it. After you finish eating, we'll cook another pot … "
When Su Cancan heard that, she grinned and blinked her big eyes at Fangzheng as though she was asking, "How thick-skinned do I have to be to eat that?"
Then, Fangzheng used his strength to prove that he was never afraid of anything that required shamelessness! Thus, he slowly ate another pot of soup …
Su Cancan's family looked at Fangzheng as though he was a monster.
Su Cancan didn't tease him anymore. Instead, she asked in concern, "Did you really only starve for a day?"
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. A monk doesn't lie."
"Impressive …" Su Cancan gave him a thumbs up as though she was looking at a cow.
After the meal, Qian Ying and Su Cancan cleaned up the dishes. Su Yuan helped take two things, but when he turned around, the monk was gone!
Su Yuan looked around and realized that the monk was standing motionless by the window.
