"Oh?" Lu Hui looked at Fangzheng in astonishment. There was karma, and it could not be for naught. Did this monk have a motive for coming to their house?
Fangzheng smiled and looked at Lu Zheng's room. "This Penniless Monk saw a pair of eyes filled with desire downstairs, but deep in those eyes was despair. Patron, can you tell This Penniless Monk the owner of those eyes? "
Lu Hui was taken aback once again before he fell into silence.
Fangzheng did not rush him as he waited silently.
Lu Hui did not say a word even after a while. At that moment, Su Yun had served all the dishes. She said with an embarrassed smile, "Venerable One, eat first. I'll bring food to the child."
With that said, Su Yun walked into Lu Zheng's room with a bowl filled with rice and vegetables.
Fangzheng looked over and saw that the room was pitch-black. The curtains were not drawn, but he could not see anything else because the door was closed.
At that moment, a deep voice sounded in Fangzheng's ear. "Inside is my son, Lu Zheng. We call him Little Zheng. This child has loved to play basketball since he was young. Unfortunately … In a car accident, his legs were injured, and he was unable to stand up. The doctor said that there was still hope for him to stand up, but it was very slim. He was very depressed, and he locked himself in his room every day, refusing to see anyone.
From that day forth, he almost never got angry, nor did he laugh. It was as though he had lost his soul and could not think. He did not care about anything or ask about anything. It was as though he was isolated from the world.
I bought him a wheelchair, but he only occasionally used it to use the bathroom. He did not usually use it. All he did was lie in bed and stare at the ceiling in a daze. In recent days, the children began coming to the basketball court to play. At that time, Little Zheng would go to the window to watch … But every time the children left, Little Zheng would fall into a deeper silence. A person might not cherish what they had, but only when they lost it would they realize how precious it was! Little Zheng originally had a pair of good legs. He could run and jump, and he was quite good at basketball. Now … Now that he sees others playing basketball, I'm afraid he will recall the scene and feel upset. Therefore, I chased the children away.
But Little Zheng seems even more depressed … To be honest, I'm out of options. I don't know what else I can do for him. "
Lu Hui's voice turned hoarse when he said that. As a father, the pain he felt was no less than Lu Zheng's as he watched his son sink deeper and deeper into a life worse than death. As a father, no matter how much pain he was in, he could only endure it because he understood that his arm was the last pillar that supported his child. Once he collapsed, his child would really be hopeless.
"Sigh, what's the point of saying all this …" Lu Hui grumbled bitterly. He picked up his glass and poured himself a large glass. Then, his hand trembled and he smiled bitterly. "Sorry."
"Patron, This Penniless Monk abstains from alcohol. You are not a monk, so feel free." Fangzheng understood Lu Hui's intentions.
Lu Hui nodded and emptied the cup of wine in one gulp. Only then did he feel a little better, but his eyes were even redder.
Fangzheng looked at Lu Zheng's room and said, "The onlooker sees the game more clearly than the person involved. From This Penniless Monk's point of view, Patron Little Zheng is not truly unable to recover from his setback. On the contrary, there's still a flame burning in his heart. He has yet to completely give up on himself. If not, he would not have gone to watch the match. Instead, he would have been bedridden, turning into the living dead. "
"Oh?!" Lu Hui looked up in shock as he looked at Fangzheng. His eyes shimmered with a glimmer of hope. He was not a fool. He immediately understood what Fangzheng was implying! Indeed, if one's heart was truly filled with despair, why would one watch the match?
With this in mind, Lu Hui said with a choked voice, "Venerable One, please enlighten me."
Fangzheng shook his head. "It's not a problem of the legs, but the heart. This Penniless Monk has a solution, but it will require your cooperation. "
"Cooperation? How? "Lu Hui was stunned.
Fangzheng smiled and whispered into Lu Hui's ear.
Lu Hui asked, "Will … Will they agree?"
"That will depend on you. This Penniless Monk can only help you this much," said Fangzheng.
Lu Hui thought for a moment and gritted his teeth. "Alright! Let's do it! "
After lunch, Fangzheng did not see Lu Zheng. However, that was no longer important. After bidding Su Yun and Lu Hui farewell, Fangzheng went straight for Wang Kun's house.
What surprised Fangzheng was that he heard the commotion in Wang Kun's house the moment he reached the door. The door was not closed, and when he opened it, he saw Chen Wei, Wang Kun, and a bunch of guys playing basketball! They were drinking beer, singing, and howling … They were a bunch of lunatics!
Lone Wolf looked up at Fangzheng and said, "Master, these guys are crazy."
Fangzheng nodded. "They are indeed crazy."
Asked Lone Wolf. "Then do you still want to interact with them?"
"Of course!" Fangzheng nodded.
"Master, you are back! Quick, have a seat! " Wang Kun waved his arms happily when he saw Fangzheng. He held a bottle of beer in his other hand and appeared very excited.
Fangzheng said with a wry smile, "Carry on playing. I'll go out for a walk."
With that said, Fangzheng left with Lone Wolf. Wang Kun thought for a moment and immediately followed.
"Master, do you not like crowds? Why don't I get everyone to disperse? " Wang Kun was truly grateful to Fangzheng. What he said yesterday might not have changed the way others viewed him. However, it had changed the way he viewed the world! Insisting on what he believed to be right made his trip worthwhile. He had not lived in vain. He liked such a feeling! Therefore, Wang Kun treated Fangzheng as his best friend.
After some thought, Fangzheng said, "Wang Kun, This Penniless Monk has something to tell you."
"What is it?" Wang Kun immediately asked. Then he patted his chest and said, "Master, why are you standing on ceremony with me? Just tell me what it is. "
Fangzheng nodded. "It's this …"
Fangzheng explained Lu Zheng's situation to Wang Kun. Wang Kun was taken aback as he said, "The person who got into an accident some time ago was that uncle's son? It's no wonder he chased us away. "
"That's roughly what happened. This Penniless Monk wishes to help Lu Zheng. However, this Penniless Monk needs your help. "
"No problem. Master, tell us what we should do!" Wang Kun immediately agreed.
"Oh? You agreed without even thinking? "Fangzheng looked at Wang Kun in astonishment.
Wang Kun rolled his eyes. "I only like playing basketball. I'm not a heartless villain. Why wouldn't I agree to help others?"
