One.
Only then did Fangzheng realize that the fellow hadn't been standing at all. He had been sitting! Now that he stood up, he looked like a giant! Fangzheng estimated that Old Fifth Gao was at least 2.2 meters tall! The two policemen weren't short either. They were about 1.8 meters tall, but standing beside Old Fifth Gao, they looked like children.
Red Boy smacked his lips and said, "That really suits his surname …"
Bao Yuluo burst into laughter. "You kid. You're clearly only a few years old, but you speak like an adult. Who taught you that? "
Red Boy immediately looked up at Fangzheng.
Bao Yuluo shot a glance at Fangzheng who looked up slightly, thinking, "This Penniless Monk's methods of raising children are pretty good, right?"
However, Bao Yuluo sneered. "At his age, he's still a child. Teaching him too many things is equivalent to pulling up seedlings to help them grow. It's not a good thing."
Fangzheng was instantly rendered speechless when he heard that. Did this lass find him an eyesore? Why was she always at odds with him? Besides, this darn child was raised by Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan, and a bunch of demons. He had only been in charge for less than a year! No, he wasn't a child! He was an ancestor!
Unfortunately, he couldn't say that out loud. If he did, he would likely be treated as an idiot.
Fangzheng didn't say a word, so Bao Yuluo took it as Fangzheng's admission. She felt a little smug.
At that moment, Old Fifth Gao came over. He looked down at the two and asked, "Officer Bao, were you the ones who called for me?"
Bao Yuluo smiled. "I wasn't the one looking for you. It was this Venerable One. You guys chat. "With that said, Bao Yuluo lowered her head and asked Red Boy," Little guy, do you want to play with me? "
Red Boy shot a glance at Fangzheng while Fangzheng shot a glance at Bao Yuluo. Seeing that the woman was determined to bring Red Boy along, Fangzheng thought about it and felt that it would be troublesome if the woman was by his side. Hence, he decisively betrayed his teammate. "Jingxin, follow this Patron. Come back when you're done."
Red Boy rolled his eyes. He had indeed been betrayed. However, an idea came to Red Boy as he asked Bao Yuluo with an adorable look, "Sis, is there anything delicious?"
"Yes, what do you want to eat? Sister will buy it for you." No matter how Bao Yuluo pretended to be cool, she was ultimately a girl in her twenties. She had no resistance against a cute boy like Red Boy.
"Can I eat my fill?" Red Boy continued to act cute.
"Yes!" Bao Yuluo wondered how much a child could eat. Therefore, he agreed generously.
When Red Boy heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "That's great! Sister, when I entered the village, I saw a small shop at the entrance of the village. Let's go there and play."
"Ah? Ah … Alright. "Bao Yuluo looked at Red Boy, who was leading the way. Why did she feel like she had fallen into a trap?
After Bao Yuluo and Red Boy walked far away, Old Fifth Gao scratched the back of his head and smiled. "Abbot Fangzheng, why are you here?"
Fangzheng smiled. "This Penniless Monk has heard about your village. If not for you, people in the village would have died. This Penniless Monk is here to see the hero. "
Old Fifth Gao blushed when he heard that. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't. How am I a hero? I only relied on my height and strength to carry a few people back. Anyone in my shoes would have done the same. Besides, the term 'hero' is too noble. Only those who sacrificed themselves heroically can be considered a hero. "
Fangzheng shook his head. "A hero is a hero. Back then, who knows what you would encounter if you went up. The fact that you ran over without any hesitation says it all. Besides, heroes aren't just those who are dead. Those who are alive are also heroes. "
Seeing how Old Fifth Gao still looked like he didn't deserve the title, Fangzheng didn't dare beat around the bush. Fangzheng also knew that to most villagers, only those who sacrificed themselves for others were considered heroes. But from Fangzheng's point of view, heroes were definitely not limited to those who sacrificed themselves. The living also needed such a title. Heroes who sacrificed themselves needed to be commemorated. Living heroes also deserved their own glory.
Changing the topic, Fangzheng asked, "Can you tell This Penniless Monk in detail how you saved them?"
Old Fifth Gao said with a bitter smile, "Abbot Fangzheng, to be honest, if it were someone else, I definitely wouldn't be bothered. Do you know? It's been a day, and I've basically been repeatedly answering this question. Let's go. Let's sit over there and talk. "
Fangzheng hurriedly nodded. Old Fifth Gao needed to lower his head to speak to him, so it wasn't too much of a burden for him. However, Fangzheng had to raise his head. If he were to talk for an hour, he would probably have a stiff neck …
The two policemen were local policemen. The moment they saw Fangzheng, they were immediately amused. They warmly invited Fangzheng to take a seat.
"Abbot Fangzheng, it's great that you are here!" A slightly plump policeman said with a smile.
Fangzheng smiled as well. "Officer Li, look at what you are saying. You still believe in such things?"
Officer Li shook his head and said, "Although I'm wearing these clothes, I'm also a native of this land. I've been in the village all year round. Even if I say I don't believe it, I still feel a little creeped out. Besides, everyone says that this matter is extremely sinister. In this day and age, what doesn't one wish to be safe? You are the most famous accomplished monk here. With you here, those evil spirits will definitely not dare to cause trouble. This makes me feel at ease. "
The other old policeman's surname was Zhao. Officer Zhao sighed and said, "Abbot Fangzheng, you didn't come yesterday. If you had come, you wouldn't have thought that we were being alarmist. That person collapsed just like that … Although we are policemen, policemen are also human. If we were to really be messed with, we would collapse as well. Although we are prepared to sacrifice ourselves at any time in this line of work, we still feel a little flustered when facing such unknown things. "
Officer Li said, "What are you talking about? What sacrifice? We want to live well. "
Officer Zhao nodded immediately. "Yes, yes, yes … Live well."
Old Fifth Gao nodded as well. At the same time, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry. If anything happens, I'll be the one to bear the brunt."
"Bullsh * t! If anything really happens, the two of us will bear the brunt. You are tall, and your legs are long. You can run fast. Besides, we still have to rely on you to save people, "Officer Zhao scolded jokingly.
Fangzheng said, "Patrons, aren't you being too pessimistic?"
"Abbot Fangzheng, it's not that we are being pessimistic, but this matter is really strange. Furthermore, it happened after dusk. We couldn't see anything at all, but that person collapsed silently. There was also the chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs. They didn't even make a sound or struggle the entire night. There was no movement at all. When we woke up, they were all dead. Now that I think about it, I still shudder. Last night, that thing killed all the chickens and ducks. Do you think it will kill again tonight? "Although Old Fifth Gao was tall, he still wore a look of worry.
