The people in the house exchanged looks. Lin Dongshi said with a wry smile, "This is the first time in history that I'm seeing such an indifferent village chief."
"I think it's pretty good. At least he isn't bossy and respects people," said Luo Li.
Lin Dongshi curled his lips and did not say a word.
Outside, Wang Yougui explained the general situation to Fangzheng. "Fangzheng, this is a film company from the province. If they were to film on Mt. One Finger, it would make Mt. One Finger famous! When the time comes, our village will bask in its glory. In the future, tourists who come for sightseeing will give our village an earth-shattering change. Ignoring everything else, at the very least, every family will be able to lead comfortable lives. "
"Patron Wang, what do you think?" asked Fangzheng.
"What I mean is that if they can film it, it's best if they do it. It's like a pie falling from the sky, "said Wang Yougui.
"This Penniless Monk does not have any thoughts. As long as they do not disturb the peace of the monastery, they can do whatever they want."
Fangzheng was naturally happy to help the villagers at the foot of the mountain. However, if these people were to act recklessly and cause trouble, it would not do.
Wang Yougui understood what Fangzheng meant. He was afraid of the people from the Calligraphy Association. Therefore he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry. I'll take care of this matter for you! I'll tell you the rules ahead of time. If they really act recklessly, I'll make them scram. We won't do business with them. How about that? "
"Patron, I'll leave it to you. This Penniless Monk does not wish to interfere in this matter." Fangzheng spoke from the bottom of his heart. Firstly, he did not understand and secondly, he had not been able to find an answer despite pondering day and night. He did not have the mood to meddle with worldly matters.
Wang Yougui was immediately delighted. He hung up and returned to discuss the cooperation.
Wang Yougui did not have high requirements. Apart from not disturbing the monastery's peace, the film crew's food and lodging needed to be settled in the village. The village would definitely not charge sky-high prices. The price was fair and the cleanliness was guaranteed.
Director Yu was naturally delighted when he saw how Wang Yougui was being honest and did not dig a hole for them. Everything was done properly. Both sides came to an agreement and everything was settled.
Even when Director Yu left the village, he was still smiling. He stroked his beard and said, "I've been to so many places, but this is the first time I've seen such a simple village."
Lin Dongshi clicked his tongue as well. "Indeed, but we used to film in scenic areas. There aren't many villagers there anymore. They're all businessmen. It's normal for them to be unscrupulous."
Old Tao said, "This is a mountain ravine, the people are simple. I've been to so many places, but this is the first time I've met someone who only made such a small request, and it wasn't a scam. "
"It would be great if people were all so simple … Everyone would be relaxed." Director Yu stretched his waist and leaned back on the chair, closing his eyes to rest. "Inform the entire crew to get into position."
"Alright!" Lin Dongshi replied and sent the message.
As for Fangzheng, he was sitting at the door in a daze.
"Mountains are mountains, water is water … What does this mean? What has this got to do with farming? "Fangzheng scratched his head and shook it impatiently.
"Zhi zhi." Squirrel jumped onto Fangzheng's shoulder from the wall. When he saw Fangzheng's bitter look, he generously stuffed a pine nut into Fangzheng's hands for the first time.
Fangzheng rubbed the little guy's head and said, "Thank you."
"Ga, Zhi zhi …" A strange cry sounded from afar. Following that, Monkey ran back with Lone Wolf following closely behind. When he was in front of Monkey, Lone Wolf suddenly sped up and pushed Monkey to the ground. Lone Wolf rolled around in a mess. Fangzheng was immediately amused when he saw this.
With Fangzheng's smile, the two animals stopped fooling around and sat up.
When Fangzheng saw this, he immediately understood that the animals were deliberately teasing him after seeing him depressed for so long.
Fangzheng got up and said, "Enough. To think that all of you know how to act. This Penniless Monk doesn't want to think anymore. Let's go have some fun! "
"Ah woo!"
"Zhi Zhi!"
"Zhi Zhi …"
"Pa!"
"Aiyah, Squirrel, why do you still have a throwing cannon? Didn't you finish throwing it the last time? "
Pa!
Ah woo! Lone Wolf protested!
"Zhi Zhi …" Monkey clapped his hands and laughed out loud. However, a throwing cannon smashed into his head, frightening him so much that he stopped laughing.
Squirrel gleefully took out a tiny bag. It was made for him by Fangzheng to store pine nuts. He did not need to stuff them into his mouth in the future. But this fellow was using it to store firearms!
"Run!" Fangzheng led the way as he turned and ran.
Lone Wolf and Monkey hurriedly followed. Squirrel transformed into a demon king as he chased after them with a throwing cannon.
In the following days, Fangzheng finally let go of his stubbornness. He recited the scriptures and struck the wooden fish. When he had time, he would flip through the Buddhist scriptures and look at the Buddhist Dharma insights of others. When he had nothing to do, he would lead the animals in fooling around. However, ever since Monkey came, he had indeed helped Fangzheng quite a bit. As a primate with high intelligence, Monkey directly took on the task of wiping the roof beams of the temple hall. As for the Buddha statues below, Fangzheng did not trust the clumsy fellow.
Fangzheng smiled when he saw the fellow's dexterity. "Amitabha. Well done."
Monkey raised his head smugly and imitated Fangzheng by pressing his palms together. As he cried out, he looked quite like a monk! However, the fellow immediately scratched his ass and instantly lost his image.
With an idea, Fangzheng went to the backyard and took out his old monk robes. He put them on Monkey and immediately, a monkey monk stood in front of Fangzheng. If not for the monkey's face and fur, he would have looked quite human.
Monkey was also very pleased with his appearance. In fact, it was unknown if it was because of Fangzheng's Lotus Flower Conveyance or something else, but Monkey enjoyed imitating Fangzheng. His every action was an imitation, as though he treated Fangzheng as his life goal. However, he was ultimately lacking something. Now that he was dressed up, he felt even more like Fangzheng. He was naturally even happier. He called out to Lone Wolf and Squirrel and ran out with a shout, heading straight for the distant forest. With Monkey, the speed at which the pine nuts were plucked was naturally faster. Fangzheng had snacks to eat nearly every day. He no longer needed to look at Squirrel's scrutinizing eyes to pass his days.
Fangzheng originally believed that with the pressure of competition, Squirrel would be more diligent and would not just freeload every day to gain weight. But in the end, the fellow shamelessly joined Monkey. He freeloaded every day and grew fatter … He ran like a ball. Fangzheng even suspected that if not for the need to climb up a tree every day, the fellow would probably be as fat as a ball.
With nothing to do, he took out his cell phone and casually browsed through the news. When he opened the news page, he saw a large picture pop up.
