Fangzheng nodded, "I see. Amitabha. Thank you for enlightening me. Take care."
With that said, Fangzheng returned to the temple hall.
Cao Can was taken aback. What did the monk mean? Did he know what he wanted to do? With this in mind, Cao Can knitted his brows tightly. After confirming that he had not told anyone his thoughts, he left with Cao Xueke.
On the way. Cao Xueke asked innocently, "Daddy, if the female mandarin duck dies, the male mandarin duck will die as well. It's so pitiful. If I were the female mandarin duck, I would wish for him to live happily. "
Cao Can's body paused slightly as he asked softly, "If the male mandarin duck dies, can you save the female mandarin duck?"
"No. If the female mandarin duck dies, the male mandarin duck will be very sad. He will die. Without the male mandarin duck, the female mandarin duck will similarly be sad and die, "said Cao Xueke as she hugged the rabbit in her arms tightly.
Cao Can did not say a word as he led Cao Xueke down the mountain and rode his motorcycle home. However, his mind often wandered on the way home.
And at that moment in time, Fangzheng's mind was wandering. This was because he had opened his Heavenly Eye today and had seen something he did not wish to see.
"Sigh. Amitabha." Fangzheng pressed his palms together and gave a Buddhist proclamation.
After returning home, Cao Can did not even enter the house. He dropped Cao Xueke off and rode to work. However, he did not notice that Cao Xueke did not return home. Instead, she secretly ran out with a basket.
That day, Cao Can continued working overtime. However, the rumors he had previously heard kept flashing in his mind. However, every time he had an idea, he would recall Fangzheng's question and Cao Xueke's answer. All of this intertwined in his mind as he felt a little lost.
When Cao Can returned home, he saw Li Xiang sitting there crying.
Cao Can's heart palpitated as he ran over and asked, "What's wrong?"
With that said, Cao Can ran into the house.
"Don't go in. The child just fell asleep." Li Xiang stopped Cao Can.
Only then did Cao Can heave a sigh of relief. He sat down and said, "Don't cry. Everything will be fine."
"It's not this. Look at this." Li Xiang pointed at the tiny basket of mushrooms on the ground. There were all sorts of mushrooms. Some were even colored. Clearly, they were poisonous.
Cao Can frowned. "You picked them? Some are poisonous mushrooms, and ordinary mushrooms can't be sold for more than a few yuan. Moreover, they're not easy to sell. "
"No, Xue Ke was the one who picked it." Li Xiang said.
Cao Can was stunned. After a long moment of silence, he said, "This child …"
"She looked very weak when she came back, so I let her sleep on the kang," Li Xiang said.
Deep into the night, Cao Can sat on the stove bed and hugged Cao Xueke. "Xueke, why did you go picking mushrooms today?"
"Daddy eats pancakes every day, so Xueke wants to make something delicious for daddy. Dad used to love eating mushrooms … But then Dad went to work every day and didn't have time to pick mushrooms. " Cao Xueke smiled very sweetly. Cao Can felt the sweetness in his heart as well. However, deep in his heart, he felt pain, a pain that penetrated deep into his heart. However, he was still smiling on his face …
Li Xiang, who was at the side, turned her head away. It was obvious that she was suppressing her tears.
"Daddy, Mommy, Xueke has grown up. I walked quite a distance up the mountain today and picked a lot of mushrooms. When I'm a little older, I'll go to school. I heard from Uncle and Auntie that I can have a good job in school. I can buy many nice clothes and delicious food. When the time comes, Xueke will buy a lot for them … "Cao Xueke waved her tiny hands as her eyes curved into crescents. In her arms, the rabbit that was missing an ear had its head lowered.
Cao Can finally made up his mind when he saw his sensible daughter in his arms! No matter what …
The next day, Fangzheng stretched his back at dawn. After cleaning the temple hall, he had breakfast.
Monkey had run to open the temple's door early in the morning, but it was empty outside. During breakfast, Monkey asked out of curiosity, "Master, why didn't the two patrons from yesterday come?"
Fangzheng said indifferently, "If they came, so be it. If they didn't, so be it. Why must they come?"
Monkey was taken aback as he scratched his head, "They usually come early in the morning."
Red Boy was a lot smarter. His eyes darted around as he said, "Master, did something happen? Are we going down the mountain? "
Fangzheng asked with a smile, "Why should we go down the mountain?"
"To save them! If something happens to them, shouldn't we, as disciples of Buddhism, save them? "Red Boy put it nicely, but only he knew what he was thinking.
Lone Wolf curled his lips, "Junior Brother, are you thinking of going down the mountain to have fun? Look at you. You are so tired from the rain every day. You don't even come out in the day. Even if you go out, do you have the energy? Master, what do you think of me? "
Red Boy turned anxious. He was indeed faking his illness, but that was only because he had the ability to do so! No matter how good the mountain was, it was just a small piece of land. He would get sick of it if he stayed too long. It was not easy for him to leave, so he naturally had to fight for it. He looked at Fangzheng with watery eyes, awaiting his decision.
Fangzheng said, "I previously said to go according to the order. The first time, I brought Jingxin out. The second time, due to special circumstances, I also brought Jingxin out. This will be the third time. "
Lone Wolf, Squirrel, Monkey, and Red Boy craned their necks as they widened their eyes. They looked at Fangzheng with anticipation.
Fangzheng put down his chopsticks and said, "I've decided to bring Monkey out."
"Aiyah! Aiyah! Aiyah! I feel dizzy. There won't be any rain tonight." Red Boy immediately hugged his head and pretended to be dead.
Monkey jumped in fright. Although Red Boy was a bit of a scam, he was the one who needed to restore the groundwater when it rained. How could he not work? Monkey was just about to say something when he heard Fangzheng chuckle, "Jingxin, since you have a headache, go get some rest. I've also gained some scripture insights today. I plan on reciting for three hours to warm up. "
Red Boy immediately sat up straight and coughed dryly when he heard that. "Master, for the villagers at the foot of the mountain, for the righteousness of the world, for … for …" The child realized that he was at a loss for words, so he ended his sentence, "Anyway, I'm still alright. I can hold on!"
"It's going to rain?" asked Fangzheng.
Red Boy said, "Of course! Definitely! "
"Yea, you've learned the northeastern dialect pretty well. Alright, let's eat." After Fangzheng said that, everyone continued eating. After the meal, Fangzheng led Monkey down the mountain.
Fangzheng directly led Monkey out of the village. Fangzheng could more or less guess where Cao Can lived. This was because in Cao Can's memories, he had seen many iconic mountains and roads, especially the mine. There was only one mine in all of Songwu County. From this, it was not difficult for Fangzheng to guess where Cao Can's house was.
Fangzheng led Monkey out of the village and immediately began running. There was no other way. Without any means of transportation, they could only run.
