Cao Xueke suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Mom, I'm fine. There's no need to go to the hospital. There's no need to spend money."
Li Xiang rubbed Cao Xueke's head and said, "Alright, Xueke, be good. You don't have to worry about the matters at home. Have a good sleep. "
When Cao Xueke woke up, the couple stopped talking about this topic. They didn't want Cao Xueke to hear it.
The next day, Cao Can went out at dawn. In fact, the mine only started work at nine in the morning. However, Cao Can went to work very early every day. He would even enter the mine early. With regards to this, the boss did not say anything. Instead, he liked what he did and praised Cao Can several times at meetings. Cao Can had indeed received a higher salary.
However, on this day, Cao Can was summoned by his boss. He was sent to the county city to buy some items. Cao Can followed the bus to the county city. He was generous enough this time, giving him fifty yuan for lunch. There were two people in total, and each person was worth twenty-five, which was not a small amount. It was already noon after the two of them purchased a batch of supplies.
"Brother Cao, do you want to eat?" Little Zhao, who was driving, asked with a smile. He often entered the city to purchase goods, so he was very familiar with the city. He was also very open, unlike Cao Can who was reserved.
Cao Can shook his head and said, "They're all gone. Who's going to watch the goods? Go ahead, I'm not hungry. "
"Don't worry, no one will steal our goods. Moreover, the county's public security is very good. Are you really not going? "Little Zhao asked.
Cao Can shook his head. Helpless, Little Zhao could only go by himself.
Cao Can did not bring any flatbread this time. His stomach was rumbling with hunger. Not far away in front of a steamed bun shop, a large tray of steamed buns was boiling. The shop assistant shouted loudly, "It's boiling!"
With a shout, he opened the pot's lid. Steam billowed out as the fragrance of steamed buns wafted over. Cao Can's stomach growled even louder. Cao Can turned his head away without looking. He lowered his head to look at the ground.
After a while, a woman passed by with a chubby boy. Then, the chubby boy waved his hand and threw away a steamed bun that he had taken a bite of. He shouted, "It's not delicious. Mom, I want to eat frozen chicken!"
"You stinking brat, wasting again! You said you wanted to eat, and now you're not eating?! "
"It smells good, but it doesn't taste that good. I'm not eating it. I want to eat frozen chicken! "
"Alright, alright. You little ancestor, I really admire you."
The woman helplessly brought the fat boy away.
Cao Can looked at the mantou on the ground and then at the two people who were a distance away. He immediately picked up the mantou and wiped off the dust on it before taking a bite. However, he had only eaten two mouthfuls when another person appeared in front of him. It was the shop assistant who sold the steamed buns.
"What's the matter?" Cao Can appeared very reserved, as though he had been discovered as a thief.
The waiter smiled and took out a bag of steamed buns with some pickled vegetables and a bowl of porridge. He said, "Our boss said that we made too much for lunch today. Let's eat together … "
With that said, the shop assistant looked in the direction of the shop. There was a plump middle-aged man sitting there. When he saw Cao Can look over, he waved his hand amiably and shouted, "Brother, it's too hot outside. Come in and eat!"
When Cao Can heard that, he stood up and bowed at the boss and employee. "Thank you. My clothes are dirty, so I won't be going."
The waiter smiled and said, "What's so dirty about it? I'm just sitting here. I'll wipe it off later. Let's go."
Cao Can refused to go no matter what. He bowed again and again to express his gratitude. The waiter was helpless as well. He could only give up and return to inform the boss. The boss scratched his head and shouted, "Brother, if you're hungry in the future, come to my place. I always make too many steamed buns and no one buys them. Let's eat together. "
Cao Can bowed once again to express his gratitude. He sat to the side and continued eating the steamed buns and pickled vegetables. This was the most delicious meal he had in recent months!
At that moment, he heard someone say something behind him.
"Really? Jiang Ting, is what you said true? One Finger Monastery is that godly? People who can't conceive can have children by praying? Furthermore, there are so many miraculous places? "
"Of course. Why would I lie to you? However, few people would believe me even if I told them. Anyway, I saw it with my own eyes. Let me tell you, that One Finger Monastery is really miraculous. At the very least, I've seen a few things that science can't explain. "The person who spoke was none other than the nurse, Jiang Ting.
"I heard about it too. Many WeChat Moments have been talking about it recently. I wonder if it's true. If I have the chance, I really have to go take a look. Speaking of bamboo growing in the northeast, isn't that too miraculous? "
"I've even seen a face covered in lice and long hair."
As they spoke, the duo left.
The speaker had no intention, but the listener was listening attentively. Cao Can looked up as his eyes shimmered with a glimmer as though he had grasped at a life-saving straw.
The scene changed again. Early in the morning, Cao Can carried his sleeping daughter, Cao Xueke, out before daybreak. He borrowed a motorcycle and headed straight for the foot of Mt. One Finger.
Upon seeing this, Fangzheng sighed. He finally understood why the duo came so early every time. Cao Can still rushed back to the mines to earn money, so he could only come early and return early.
At that moment, Cao Can was kneeling in the temple hall in his dream. He silently prayed, "Bodhisattva, please bless my daughter. Let her recover from her illness. For her, I'm willing to give up my life. If it really doesn't work, please bless me that my future plans can be carried out perfectly. In the future, when I'm no longer by their side, please bless them for their safety. "
Fangzheng shook his head slightly. Indeed, as he expected, Cao Can had long made his final preparations. Coming to One Finger Monastery was his final hope. If he could not fulfill it, he would definitely take the path of no return.
However, Fangzheng did not do a thing. Instead, he dispelled A Golden Millet Dream and continued chanting and striking the wooden fish.
Cao Can was clearly taken aback. He could not figure out why he had recalled so much. Then, he shook his head and got up, leaving with Cao Xueke.
Just as Cao Can was about to leave the monastery, Fangzheng finally said, "Patron, This Penniless Monk has a question for you."
Cao Can was taken aback as he pointed at himself, "Venerable One, you have a question for me?"
Fangzheng smiled and pressed his palms together, "Yes."
Cao Can said, "Venerable One, I … I've never been to school."
Fangzheng ignored him and continued, "Yesterday, This Penniless Monk saw a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water. The female mandarin duck drowned to death. The male mandarin duck was very sad and drowned as well. Why? "
"Venerable One, can mandarin ducks drown to death? Also, do we have … mandarin ducks here? "Although Cao Can had never been to school, he still had some general knowledge.
Fangzheng smiled, "This Penniless Monk saw it in the animal world. As for drowning to death, what do you think? Even a living person can suffocate to death over something that still holds hope, much less mandarin ducks that can swim? "
