"Then, are we just going to wait? That's just too anxious. " Although Red Boy still wished to flee, he had unknowingly treated himself as a member of One Finger Monastery after spending so much time on Mt. One Finger. He also began to consider One Finger Monastery. One Finger Monastery was just too small. Other monasteries might be small but complete, but One Finger Monastery lacked many things. Everyone wanted what was best for them, and he was no exception. Now that he could build a bell tower, he was naturally overjoyed and very enthusiastic.
"This is already not bad. The villagers helped to achieve such results. If the villagers don't help, it will be slow. I estimate that the bell tower's official construction will take at least a week, "said Fangzheng.
"But it's impossible for everyone to help every day, right? I estimate that there won't be many people tomorrow. There might not even be anyone the day after, "mumbled Red Boy. Red Boy muttered. In his heart, it was already rare to help someone once. Such a good person should be rare to come by and help someone every day. At the very least, he had not seen many in his world.
Lone Wolf, Squirrel, and Monkey did not say a word, but they tacitly agreed with his statement. Fangzheng was about the same. No one had a better solution. Although they yearned for the bell tower to be completed, the mountain was treacherous and there were many rocks. It was not that simple to reap the benefits in one fell swoop.
The next day, Luo Yang was still sleeping. He was a laborer, so he did not need to do the usual labor of carrying bricks and wood. All he needed to do was sit down for the engraving. Yesterday, it was because a large group of villagers had volunteered to help. He was embarrassed to watch by the side, so he had tied himself up and carried the rocks for a while. Now … he did not wish to move at all. From his point of view, it was already pretty good that the villagers could help for a day. It was impossible for them to come every day.
However, the moment the sky brightened, Luo Yang heard the rumbling of motorcycles and tractors. There was also the sound of a group of people bragging. There was even the sound of cars. Immediately following that, there was music playing. It was chaotic outside, leaving him vexed. He cursed angrily. "What's going on so early in the morning?"
Luo Yang got up and saw that all the workers in the house had woken up. Master Ma was leaning against the window, looking at something.
Luo Yang said, "Master Ma, what are you looking at? Where are the others? "
"They're all working. They're watching the commotion. Why are there so many people here?" Master Ma was an old carpenter. He was proficient in all kinds of ancient carving techniques. Moreover, he was old and did not do heavy physical work. As for the others, a large number of them were in charge of carrying bricks, stones, and wood. They worked by the piece. The more they carried, the more money they earned. Therefore, none of them were lazy at all. They set off at dawn.
In addition to this room, there were a few other rooms with more workers. Some people like Master Ma had basically just woken up.
"Let me see. Heh, there's really a variety of people here." Luo Yang was curious as well. He put on his clothes and ran out. He stood at the door to watch the commotion.
All the vehicles were heading for Mt. One Finger.
Luo Yang was puzzled. What were these people doing there? At that moment, a motorcycle passed by. Luo Yang quickly stopped it and asked curiously, "Brother, which village are you from?"
"Houhe Village, what's wrong?" the man asked.
"What are you doing? Why were there so many people? I think there are even people from the county, "Luo Yang asked.
"You don't know?" the man asked in surprise.
"Should I know?" Luo Yang was taken aback.
The man said with a smile, "A rich tycoon donated a bell tower to One Finger Monastery. However, One Finger Monastery's transportation isn't convenient. The bricks, stones, and wood can't be transported up. One Finger Village doesn't have enough manpower either. Someone sent a message on WeChat asking for help. Everyone is here to help. "
"Uh … All of you are here to help?" Luo Yang was dumbfounded. What was happening? Wasn't it said that there wouldn't be many people the next day? What was the background of this monk? Why was he so influential?
"That's right. Master is the benefactor of many people in Houhe Village. Sixteen people came from our village. There are also people from Daliu Village and Hongyan Village. There aren't many, but there are more than a hundred people." After the man said that, he smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about it. I'm going to help. Let's talk later." With that said, the man turned to leave.
Luo Yang subconsciously asked, "Brother, what's your name?"
"Zheng Jiaxing!" Zheng Jiaxing waved his hand and left.
Luo Yang scratched his head. He was truly curious and couldn't sit still any longer. After informing Master Ma, the two rushed to the construction site. On the way, Master Ma mumbled. "I've lived to this age, but I've only seen so many people volunteering to help a few decades ago. Back then … Hehe, although we were poor, we were united. That kind of enthusiasm … I haven't seen it in decades. I'm seeing it again today. Heh heh … Nice. "
"Are monks that influential these days?" Luo Yang asked.
"This isn't something an ordinary monk can do. Many large monasteries can't find so many people volunteering to help. Look at these people. All of them are beaming. They don't look like they're doing work. It's more like they're attending a wedding and waiting to be paid. I dare say that we have underestimated that young monk. He's likely someone with true ability. If he doesn't have the ability to benefit others, he definitely wouldn't receive such a return. Humans are all like that. If you treat others well, others will treat you well. On the contrary, people who only think about reaping benefits … Heh … "Master Ma curled his lips and did not continue.
Luo Yang fell into deep thought.
When the two arrived at the construction site, they were shocked once again. They saw Wang Yougui holding a loudspeaker on a mound. He shouted loudly, "Everyone, be careful. The mountain is dangerous. If you can't carry it, rest midway. We have the numbers, so there's no need to rush!"
"Also, women, don't do any work. There are so many men here. Rest!"
The moment he said that, it was immediately met with a wave of women's voices.
"Wang Yougui, you old bastard. What did you say? Are you looking down on us? Have you forgotten who stuffed you into a pig pen when you were young? "a stocky woman cursed.
Immediately, there was a hoot. Wang Yougui's face flushed red as he hurriedly said, "Li Cuihua, don't make a fuss. I'm showing my concern for the women! If you really want to help, help wash the vegetables. We're repairing the monastery's bell tower today. There aren't any meat dishes, only vegetables. The leaves are difficult to wash. Hurry up. Don't waste time here. "
Li Cuihua spat and did not give the village chief any face. With a wave of her hand, she led a group of women to wash the vegetables.
Wang Yougui continued shouting, "Newcomers, go to the left and report. Listen to the foreman's instructions. Don't rush up in a disorderly manner …"
Below Wang Yougui, there was a large group of people carrying logs, bricks, and stones up the mountain while making noises.
