"He's not an evil person, but you cheated him of his money. Isn't that evil? You wanted to save your daughter, but if you died, would it be a good thing for your daughter? Do you know how a child's future will be without a father from a young age? Who will protect her when she is bullied? It's the same for your wife. She has suffered all her life with you. Who will take care of her in the future? Have you thought about how difficult it will be for her to raise a child alone? "Fangzheng's barrage of questions left Cao Can speechless.
Moments later, Cao Can said, "But … I have nowhere else to go. This is the only solution I can think of. With money, they will at least have a better life. After a period of time, they will forget me and they will be happy. "
"Whether they will be happy or not will depend on yourself." Fangzheng shook his head and turned to walk out.
Cao Can immediately chased after him and asked, "Venerable One, about that … I …"
"You can choose not to reincarnate for now. Just stay in the world of the living and take a look."
"Thank you, Venerable One!" Cao Can hurriedly thanked him. He was happy as long as he could see his family.
But when he returned home, what awaited him were two people in tears. Li Xiang cried her heart out and fainted a few times. Cao Xueke slumped over his corpse, choking with sobs. She kept shouting, "Daddy, don't sleep. Wake up. You said that you would accompany me to dig for earthworms and fish … Boohoo!"
Seeing the two crying bitterly, Cao Can cried as well. He lunged forward in a bid to console them, but he passed right through them. He wanted to shout, but the two could not hear him even if he shouted. He looked at Fangzheng in despair and said, "Venerable One, I beg you. Let me meet them again."
"Amitabha. Patron, you are already dead. A separation of life and death is an eternal separation. You will never meet again. Look, is this the happiness you mentioned bringing them? "asked Fangzheng.
Cao Can looked at the two and fell silent.
Time flew. Indeed, the mine's boss compensated their family with a sum of money. With the money, Li Xiang treated Cao Xueke's illness and repaid the debt. The two's days became a lot better but …
"Xueke, why is your face red?" Li Xiang looked at Cao Xueke who had just returned from school with a pained expression.
Cao Xueke raised her head and looked at Li Xiang. She wanted to say something, but she lowered her head and said, "I fell at school …"
After that, Cao Xueke ran into her small room.
Cao Can immediately followed.
He saw Cao Xueke sitting on the bed, holding his photo. Her tears flowed down like pearls from a broken necklace. She sobbed and said, "Dad, Dad … It's going to be a sports meet. Everyone else's fathers are here. Some are long jumpers, some are joggers, but I'm the only one who didn't … Boohoo …"
"They say I'm a child without a father, but I know I have a father … I just can't bring him to them."
"Dad, they laughed at me. They said you didn't want me anymore. I fought with them, my body hurts … But I can't tell my mother, she's already very tired. Daddy, I miss you. I know Mommy misses you too … "
Cao Can, who was standing by the bed, was already in tears. Unfortunately, Cao Xueke could not hear anything he said.
When Cao Can came outside again, Li Xiang was similarly squatting there crying secretly. She whispered, "Old Cao, I miss you …"
"Venerable One, I …" Cao Can turned his head and looked at Fangzheng outside the door with a pleading look.
Fangzheng said, "Patron, do you want to continue watching? They are now debt-free, but are they happy? "
Cao Can fell silent.
Fangzheng did not say a word as he allowed Cao Can to continue watching.
Days passed one after another. Li Xiang's life with Cao Xueke did not become happier because of Cao Can's departure. Instead, she cried more than she smiled. Cao Xueke studied very hard, and Li Xiang farmed very hard. They toiled day and night, and her hair had already turned white.
Looking at Li Xiang, who was only in her thirties and should still be in her prime, her hands were covered in calluses due to exhaustion. Her hair was white, and she was covered in white hair. Cao Can gave himself two tight slaps!
Then, he looked at his daughter, who was a man of few words and did not speak much outside of school. He gave himself another two slaps.
However, Cao Can continued, "At least she's healthy …"
"At times, the difference between being alive and being dead isn't that great. Only life is what people need, not survival. Life is happiness, but survival is a painful torture, "said Fangzheng suddenly.
Cao Can felt like he was struck by lightning as he looked at Fangzheng. "Venerable One …"
"Patron, the problems that can be solved by death can also be solved by living people," asked Fangzheng.
Cao Can was stunned rooted to the ground. He had thought of this problem before, but was it possible? But if there were ghosts, what else was impossible? The monk in front of him was definitely not an ordinary monk. He was a divine monk! With this in mind, Cao Can plopped to the ground and exclaimed, "Venerable One, please help me! If I can be reborn, I know what I should do. "
"If I don't die, what will you do? Won't you save your daughter? "returned Fangzheng with a question.
"There will always be a way, right?" Cao Can suddenly returned with a question.
Fangzheng was left speechless. Indeed, even the dumbest fool had times when they were smart. Fangzheng smiled and pressed his palms together. He gave a Buddhist proclamation, "Amitabha."
The next moment, Cao Can heard a loud boom above his head as though lightning had struck down. When he looked up, his vision turned black and he lost consciousness.
When Cao Can opened his eyes again, he was surprised to discover that he was standing at the mine's entrance! The scene in front of him was identical to his memories. Looking ahead and behind him, there was indeed a monk standing not far away. Beside the monk was a monkey dressed in monk robes, making him appear a little out of place.
Fangzheng nodded at him before turning to leave.
"Master, where are we going now?" asked Monkey.
"Home," said Fangzheng.
"Master, can you save that child?" On the way, Fangzheng had already explained Cao Can's situation to Monkey. Monkey naturally knew the reason for their visit.
Fangzheng shook his head. "This Penniless Monk can obviously save him. However, there are too many sufferings in this world. How many people can This Penniless Monk's limited divine powers save? When a person does good, there is a limit to how much he can do. Only by instigating everyone to do good can the good be spread, turning it into great good. Cao Can's child's illness is not incurable. It's just that treating it is very difficult and expensive. "
The moment Monkey heard the word money, he immediately wore a bitter look. "Master, we are already poor enough …"
Fangzheng …
Cao Can narrowed his eyes and looked into the sky. He muttered, "Is this a dream?"
Cao Can walked into the mine and saw many people standing outside in a daze. Someone cursed, "I really wonder which son of a bitch did it. He actually snapped the electric wires!"
Following that, he saw someone run over. "Alright, alright. The higher-ups have given the order to do an environmental assessment. All those with pollution are not to start work. It's a holiday today. Also … You, quickly contact the electrician to fix the electric wires … "
