Therefore, three days later, Red Boy happily followed Fangzheng down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Fangzheng saw Ouyang Fenghua in a yellow T-shirt, shorts, canvas shoes, and a black cap. Her ponytail was flung behind her, and she was carrying a black backpack. She was standing there! Fangzheng would subconsciously glance at her straight legs. For this, Fangzheng deliberately slowed down his walking speed. He silently recited the Mind Calming Incantation thrice before calming down. He stopped looking at her.
Instead, it was Red Boy who came forward out of curiosity. "Patron, why are your pants so short?"
Fangzheng raised his hand and smacked the back of his head. "How dare you talk about me. Do you have pants?"
Red Boy looked down at his red dudou and exclaimed unhappily, "Master, I want to wear pants too. What can I do if you don't give it to me?"
Fangzheng said, "If I could afford it, would I need you to tell me? I made you wear the clothes I wore when I was young, but you despised it. Now, do you think you're in the right? "
"It's too ugly. I'm not wearing it!" Red Boy turned his head away.
Upon seeing the master and disciple bicker, Ouyang Fenghua beamed. She squatted down and pinched Red Boy's nose. "Jingxin, don't call me patron. Call me sister."
"Heh heh. Granddaughter is more like it." Red Boy rolled his eyes.
Ouyang Fenghua was instantly dumbfounded. What was this brat saying?
Fangzheng was rendered speechless, but he did not retort. In terms of age, this fellow could be the grandfather of the grandfather of the grandfather of the entire world. However, in terms of a demon's age, he was still a three-inch bean! Furthermore, in terms of knowledge, he had seen quite a number of Dharma treasures and pills. However, he had always been in the mountains. Apart from being flattered, he knew nothing about the ways of the world. Furthermore, he was especially bratty. He was used to being the king of the mountains and always thought that he was the boss. He did and said whatever he wanted. He seldom considered the feelings of others.
With regards to this, Fangzheng could only slowly guide him. It was pointless to say anything more.
Red Boy turned his head as though it was only natural.
Ouyang Fenghua did not take it seriously. She only thought that the child was spouting nonsense. She rolled her eyes and smiled. "If you call me big sister, I'll treat you to good food when we get to the city. I'll buy you beautiful clothes too, like …"
"Sister, you are so beautiful!" Red Boy did not wait for Ouyang Fenghua to finish and immediately shouted.
Fangzheng facepalmed when he heard that. He realized that he had truly underestimated Red Boy! It wasn't that this guy didn't know anything, but he knew too much! Fangzheng guessed that it was most likely the Internet's fault. From the looks of it, it was necessary to ban the child from the Internet!
Ouyang Fenghua beamed and pinched Red Boy's nose. "Good boy! Big Sister will do what I say! "
Red Boy laughed along. He didn't care about all that. He just wanted to get food, drink, and clothes.
When Ouyang Fenghua turned around, Fangzheng secretly gave Red Boy a kick in the ass. What an embarrassment!
Ouyang Fenghua had come in her friend's car, but in order not to affect Fangzheng, she drove the car away the moment she alighted. Now, Ouyang Fenghua was a little regretful …
"Grandmaster, how do we get out?" Ouyang Fenghua asked.
Fangzheng said, "Let's go. There will be a bus coming in a while."
The buses here were all private. They would drive over every day and circle around the nearby villages. When it was filled with people, the bus would drive to Songwu County City. Although the bus was convenient, it was famous for going around in circles …
Not long after, the bus arrived. From afar, Ouyang Fenghua could see that the bus was filled with people. Furthermore, the bus was very dilapidated, as though it would be scrapped at any moment. Along the way, it spewed out black smoke as though it was on fire. It wasn't an air-conditioned bus. The windows were wide open, and there were even hoes sticking out. Upon seeing such a bus, Ouyang Fenghua was too deep for tears. She asked weakly, "Grandmaster, can I … take this?"
Fangzheng said with a wry smile, "This is the only condition in the village. If I don't take this bus, there won't be another one. Don't worry. They are all villagers. They are very simple. "
Ouyang Fenghua gave a hollow laugh. Although she was extremely unwilling, she still followed them. It wasn't that she despised the villagers, but she felt that the bus was too unreliable! What happened to not allowing overcrowding? What happened to not allowing smoking? What happened to those shiny cigarette butts and the smoke that spewed out from the windows? All of this was completely different from what she knew from books. From her point of view, the bus wasn't safe. With so many smokers, it was suffocating.
Furthermore, the bus ride to the county city was one to two hours. It was so crowded, and they had to stand. Coupled with the long journey, Ouyang Fenghua's eyes were already turning black as she felt dizzy. She truly regretted driving away her family's bus. If she had known, she would have gotten him to wait in the county city …
While Ouyang Fenghua's thoughts were running wild, Fangzheng and Red Boy had already boarded the bus. They turned their heads to call out to her.
Ouyang Fenghua helplessly boarded the bus and mumbled, "Are we going to die standing here …"
However, just as she boarded the bus, she heard someone shout, "Venerable Fangzheng, you are taking the bus too? Quick, sit with me. "
As he spoke, a stocky man stood up to give up his seat to Fangzheng.
Before Fangzheng said a word, someone immediately shouted, "Don't! Venerable One, you are closer to me. Sit with me."
"That's so dirty. Why would I sit with you? Come, Fangzheng, sit with Auntie! "shouted a woman.
Instantly, the bus was filled with voices of people giving up their seats. This scene left Ouyang Fenghua dumbfounded. There was such a thing? Although Ouyang Fenghua knew that Fangzheng was the monastery's abbot and that he was receiving good incense offerings recently, she never expected him to have such influence. She never expected Fangzheng to have such influence. The villagers liked him so much that they were collectively giving up their seats for him!
Fangzheng never expected such a situation either. He was young and strong, so how could he be willing to sit? He immediately pressed his palms together, "Amitabha. Patrons, This Penniless Monk is young and strong. How can I get you to give up your seats? This Penniless Monk will just stand. "
"What nonsense are you saying? Just sit when we ask you to. Why? Do you think we're old and useless? "one of the aunties shouted.
A middle-aged man beside her laughed, "Hehe, do you think you are useful now? When we boarded the bus, you were the one who squeezed so hard that you ended up sitting down. You even complained about your back and legs hurting. Have you forgotten? "
"Scram! You talk too much! "scolded the woman jokingly.
The man laughed as well. Clearly, they were just fooling around and not really quarreling.
Fangzheng refused once again, but the woman was displeased. "Child, why? Do you think we are old? Let me tell you, you might not even be able to beat me in farm work. Alright, cut the crap. Have a seat. "With that said, the woman forcefully pulled Fangzheng to his seat.
Helpless, Fangzheng pressed his palms together and thanked her, "Thank you, Patron."
But that was not the end …
