"Has Bai Wenshui changed? He actually took the initiative to save them … "
"A leopard can't change its spots. If this bastard had not hesitated and jumped into the water to save them, the two children …"
Upon saying that, everyone recalled that there were two children in the water! Where are they? Could it be?
With this in mind, everyone had an ominous feeling.
When the boat docked, everyone immediately went over and saw that the people on the boat were no longer breathing. They were completely dead. Many people let out a long sigh. Some of the saddened girls even cried on the spot.
"Lad, you are a hero!"
"Lad, you did not embarrass the people of the Twin Rivers! Hero! Rest in peace! "An elder bowed at the university student.
"Well done … Sigh …"
Everyone observed a moment of silence, but someone ran to ask Bai Wenshui, "Bai Wenshui, where are the two children?"
Bai Wenshui sighed and shook his head, not saying a word.
Ghosthead immediately took over and said with an aggrieved and sobbing tone, "We didn't make it in time. They sank together. We only managed to save one, but in the end … Sigh …"
Everyone fell silent when they heard that. Another two lives. Anyone who heard that felt stifled.
"What kind of world is this? Why are there always people falling into the water …" An elder shook his head and sighed before turning to leave.
This time, Bai Wenshui and Ghosthead did a better job than before. They put on a good show, and with the distance and angle being well controlled, they perfectly played the good guys. It also began to change everyone's opinion of them. Previously, they only cared about money, randomly raised the price, and demanded a price for the corpses. It had indeed infuriated many people. But today, the way everyone looked at them was indeed different. It was a lot warmer.
However, Ghosthead and Bai Wenshui were saying inwardly, "A bunch of idiotic good guys …"
"Does anyone know whose child this hero is? Also, can anyone contact the family of the children in the water? "someone suddenly shouted.
"No idea, but the police will be here soon. Once the police arrive, they should be able to figure it out, "someone else said.
Everyone nodded.
At that moment, a Buddhist proclamation suddenly sounded. "Amitabha. Patrons, the corpses are already ashore. Do you want money to return the corpses?"
The moment that was said, everyone looked at Bai Wenshui and Ghosthead.
Ghosthead looked up and did not avoid it. There was nothing to be embarrassed about. He immediately felt delighted when he saw that it was the silly good guy monk again! He liked this kind of goody two shoes! Thus, Ghosthead said, "Of course! We are risking our lives and wasting our time to save people. Who knows, we might even be arrested and taken to the police station. This delay is another day. It's impossible not to ask for money. "
Fangzheng nodded. "That makes sense. After putting in the effort and kindness, there has to be something in return. Otherwise, if we only do good deeds without any benefits and fall into danger, wouldn't it disappoint the hearts of the good people in the world? "
"Hey! Monk, you really know how to talk. I like people like you! "Ghosthead was amused.
When everyone heard that, they frowned. An old man said unhappily, "Since ancient times, which one of us did chivalry for the sake of justice? Monk, you're wrong! "
"That's right. You might be able to say that overseas, but we Chinese don't believe that! We believe in the righteousness in our hearts, doing good deeds without leaving our names! What good would he do if he had ulterior motives? Let's just make a deal, "another old man shouted.
When Ghosthead heard this, he immediately became unhappy and shouted, "What are you talking about? If you're so awesome, why don't you stop working and volunteer to rescue people? Who didn't know how to talk! The problem was, who didn't have a home? Who grew up eating the air!? It's best if you don't want anything? No fame, no money, all good people have nothing to eat, right? What right do you have? "
There was nothing wrong with what he said. It left the few old men speechless.
Bai Wenshui patted Ghosthead on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Venerable One, you are an outsider. From a neutral point of view, do you think good deeds should be rewarded?"
"Good people are rewarded, and good deeds are rewarded. That's naturally a good thing." Fangzheng was not being perfunctory, but he really believed so. If the person who fished for corpses had a clear price and a reasonable fee, then the fee for fishing corpses would be reasonable. After all, such matters had to be done by someone. After putting in the effort and time, it would be fine if there was no reward once or twice, but who would continue doing it after a long time? Most of the time, it was impossible to replicate, promote, and continue something just by relying on passion. That would only be an exception and not the norm. Even Buddhas needed to receive benefits when giving scriptures, much less humans.
"Well said!" Bai Wenshui immediately applauded.
Ghosthead smiled when he saw Fangzheng's enthusiasm. "Venerable One, how much do you think we should charge for such matters?"
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Money that should be collected."
"So what if we collect too much? So what if we collect too little?" someone asked.
Fangzheng said, "There is justice in the world. If we collect too little, it will hurt our good hearts. If we collect too much, it will result in more debts!"
"So what if we have too many debts?" Bai Wenshui asked with a frown.
Fangzheng looked at Bai Wenshui and Ghosthead and felt that the monk's eyes were extremely bright. It was as though his eyes hid the sun, moon, and stars. Amidst the resplendence, there was a coldness that left the duo shuddering! Fangzheng enunciated each and every word. "Too many debts will weigh on one's body."
"Pfft! What day and age are we in? Paying debts will weigh on one's body. Haha!" Ghosthead thought nothing of it. From his point of view, he would have long been dead if such a thing existed in this world.
Bai Wenshui wore a look of disapproval as well. He had done so many evil deeds. If there was really karma, would he still be living such a carefree life?
"Alright, let's not talk about it. The person is here. Monk, why don't you show some heroism and show some benevolence by paying the money? We can also take the money and leave to work. " Ghosthead had only said it in passing. He did not believe that Fangzheng would really fork out the money. After all, it was understandable for a person to be foolish once, but to be foolish on the same matter consecutively was like a fighter jet among fools. Besides, money did not grow on trees. It was not worth it to pay for a stranger. At the very least, from his point of view, it was not worth it!
When Ghosthead said that, everyone jolted awake.
"So this is the monk who helped out yesterday!"
"I heard about it too. Lin Zhixian's corpse was redeemed by this monk."
"This … He's really a good person."
…
Everyone looked at Fangzheng in a different way. They showed him a little respect. Those who had argued with Fangzheng also nodded slightly at him to express their apologies. On careful thought, Fangzheng's words did not seem to be without reason. Of course, they still stood firm to their beliefs and showed no intention of wavering. Fangzheng felt even more respect for the elders when he saw how firm their beliefs were.
