He knew that Fangzheng had come to his house yesterday, but he did not wish to come out.
Now that he saw the white dog at the door, he was given a fright. However, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the dog. This was because the dog looked harmless and was even wagging its tail at him. It had no intention of harming him …
"Brother … Brother Dog, I'm only going downstairs." Lu Zheng did not know what to say to the dog, but he still said it as a way to boost his courage.
However, the dog seemed to understand him as it stood up and made way.
Lu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief and slowly moved his wheelchair past the white dog. However, he stopped once again. His house was on the second floor. It wasn't high, but he needed to take the stairs to get down! There were windows in the stairwell, but he could not see the stadium from there. If he wanted to watch the game, he had to go downstairs.
After confirming that the white dog would not harm him, Lu Zheng looked at the steep stairs and hesitated. It was too high and too steep. He did not have legs and only had a wheelchair. The wheelchair only had wheels. If he was not careful, he would tumble down … With this in mind, Lu Zheng felt a little afraid.
At that moment, there were cheers coming from outside. It seemed like a goal had been scored!
Lu Zheng's heart heated up as well. He yearned to watch the game! He did not want to stay in the house the entire time! He wanted to go!
This thought grew stronger in his heart, but Lu Zheng hesitated again and again when he saw the steep stairs.
The stairs are too steep. I don't have legs. I can't go down!
No, I have legs, but I can't move them! But … I can go down! I can still use my hands!
What if I can't hold onto it? What if the wheels slide? Can I control the wheelchair? This is my first time going down the stairs!
No, I can. I definitely can!
Two thoughts clashed in Lu Zheng's mind as his eyes turned redder. As he listened to the cheers and roars outside, he became even more impatient.
Finally, he held onto the handrail with one hand and controlled the wheelchair with the other. He slowly went down the stairs, but just as he reached the edge, he failed to control his strength properly. The wheelchair was about to plunge down! Lu Zheng thought, "I'm doomed!"
However, the wheelchair suddenly froze in its spot as though something was holding him back.
Lu Zheng turned his head and saw the lazy white dog crawl up at some point in time. It had bitten the back of the wheelchair to prevent him from falling.
"Thank you." Lu Zheng had forgotten when was the last time he said thank you, but this time, he blurted it out. The feeling of surviving a great calamity and a new lease of life made him exclaim in his heart that he was very lucky.
Lone Wolf gave him an encouraging look. Lu Zheng said in surprise, "Are you encouraging me?"
Lone Wolf nodded slightly.
"Thank you, I will!" Lu Zheng nodded. If the person in front of him was a normal person, he would feel inferior because he couldn't walk. He would be depressed and think that he was a good-for-nothing who needed help to go down the stairs. However, in the face of a dog, an animal's kind help, he could gladly accept it. It was a very strange feeling. At least, he thought that animals were innocent. If they helped him, they would really help him. It was very rare for an animal to help a human. This kind of experience made him feel very comfortable.
This time, Lu Zheng adjusted his posture and grabbed the handrail firmly. After confirming that he was stable, he said to Lone Wolf, "I'm ready."
Lone Wolf slowly loosened his grip. Indeed, Lu Zheng was already standing steadily on the stairs.
Lu Zheng slowly released his grip as the wheelchair slowly moved down. Bit by bit, he turned back to look at Lone Wolf. Lone Wolf followed him step by step as though it was his guardian angel. With it around, Lu Zheng felt completely at ease. Finally, Lu Zheng successfully walked down the entire flight of stairs.
Lu Zheng gave Lone Wolf a victory gesture, while Lone Wolf gave him a look to carry on.
Lu Zheng took a deep breath and turned to look at the next flight of stairs. He said firmly, "I can do it!"
With that said, Lu Zheng continued down the stairs. Bit by bit, he moved down the stairs. In the beginning, he would turn back to look at Lone Wolf, but later on, because he was too serious or because he trusted him too much, he no longer looked back. Slowly, Lu Zheng was pleasantly surprised to discover that he could complete the entire flight of stairs in a wheelchair! That sense of pride made him extremely excited. He turned around and looked at Lone Wolf, only to be surprised to discover that Lone Wolf was standing in the middle of the stairs. He hadn't come down at all.
"You … You didn't follow me?" Lu Zheng was stunned.
"Amitabha. Patron, why do you need the help of others when you can do it yourself?" At that moment, a Buddhist proclamation sounded. A white-robed monk walked over from the corner of the stairs. The monk was dressed in white, and he wasn't particularly handsome. However, he exuded a sense of righteousness and peace, giving off a sense of tranquility.
"You …" Lu Zheng suddenly realized that there was someone downstairs. He immediately turned nervous as he stuttered.
Fangzheng smiled. "This Penniless Monk is Mt. One Finger's abbot, Fangzheng. That's This Penniless Monk's Guardian Protector, Jingfa. Patron, is it difficult for you to go down the stairs? "
Lu Zheng looked at the monk who had a warm smile that resembled sunlight. He was astonished to discover that he did not seem to be averse to the monk. This was because the monk's eyes did not contain the contempt, sympathy, or pity that he feared. It was more like he was looking at an ordinary person. He liked such a feeling. He did not like to be looked at differently by others, be it disgust or sympathy!
Lu Zheng looked at Fangzheng and said, "It was a little difficult in the beginning, but once you get used to it, it won't be difficult."
Fangzheng smiled and beckoned to Lone Wolf. "Let's go. Time to watch the basketball match."
Lone Wolf ran down and glanced at Lu Zheng. He flicked his head as though he was saying, "Together!"
Lu Zheng was a little hesitant as he said, "I … I'll just watch from here."
Fangzheng smiled. "Then let's watch. If it's possible, it's not a bad idea to play basketball together."
Lu Zheng said with a wry smile, "Can I still play basketball in this state?" With that said, he looked at his legs with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Fangzheng said, "Before you came down, were you sure you could come down the stairs? Going down the stairs in a wheelchair is not a simple matter. "
Lu Zheng did not say a word.
Fangzheng said, "It's because of love and because of liking. Love and liking make you fearless, brave, and strong! Then, for the love in your heart, why don't you go out and take a look? "
After Fangzheng said that, he turned and walked out the door. The sunlight shone down on Fangzheng's body. Fangzheng did not turn back as he said nonchalantly, "Having legs doesn't mean you can play basketball. Not having legs doesn't mean you can't play basketball. Besides, you still have legs! "
With that said, Fangzheng left. Lone Wolf turned to look at Lu Zheng and cocked his head, indicating for him to follow.
Lu Zheng looked at Lone Wolf before looking at Fangzheng's back. He mumbled, "That's right. Many people have legs, but they similarly can't play basketball. Not having legs doesn't mean they can't play basketball! Besides, I still have legs! Besides, I'm just taking a look … "
