Fangzheng activated his Heavenly Eye and scanned the old woman. To his surprise, he couldn't tell a thing! This also meant that the old woman wasn't dead or in any great calamity. When he activated his Wisdom Eye again, he saw that the old woman's golden glow was a lot more than the baneful aura. It was even more golden than the kindhearted lad's. She was a good person, one who was better than the typical good person.
However, Fangzheng also knew that the person in front of him was likely not the same person he was looking for. And helping the old woman find her was clearly a very strenuous and time-consuming matter.
With this in mind, Fangzheng looked at Red Boy.
Red Boy whispered, "It's not difficult to find her. I have divine powers to do it. However, my divine power searches for people based on their bloodline and soul. This old woman is too old, and her body is weak. If I extract her blood essence to search for her family, she will probably fall seriously ill. "
Fangzheng decisively gave up the thought of getting Red Boy to use his divine power. The old woman was obviously not rich. If she fell seriously ill, it would be equivalent to killing her.
"You don't know her?" At that moment, the last glimmer of hope in the old woman's eyes was extinguished.
Looking at the weathered old woman in front of him, Fangzheng wished to change the photo back and tell the truth. But ultimately, he didn't say it. Instead, he placed the photo in the old woman's hand and smiled. "Patron, This Penniless Monk really doesn't know your daughter. However, This Penniless Monk can help you search for her. "
"Ah … Ah?" The old woman was on the brink of despair, but when she heard that Fangzheng was willing to help, her eyes lit up. She felt a glimmer of hope once again as her eyes instantly turned red and moist. She choked. "Thank you …"
"Amitabha. Patron, you are being too polite. This Penniless Monk is only doing his best. However, This Penniless Monk isn't sure if he can help you find your daughter."
"Thank you, thank you …" The old woman didn't say a word as she thanked him profusely.
Helpless, Fangzheng could only allow the old woman to thank him. After she calmed down, he led the old woman as they walked. At the same time, he began conversing with the old woman. Through their conversation, Fangzheng learned that the old woman's name was Ma Guifen. She wasn't a native of Dawu City, but from Sichuan.
"Patron, didn't you call ahead to contact her when you came all the way here?" asked Fangzheng.
Ma Guifen shook her head. "I wanted to call her too, but I don't have a phone."
Fangzheng was taken aback. There were still phones in this era? Isn't this daughter too incompetent?
Red Boy muttered, "This old lady is really fierce. She didn't contact me in advance, nor did she give me a phone number or an address. She dared to cross China to look for someone."
Fangzheng raised his hand and smacked the back of Red Boy's head. Then, he handed the photo to Red Boy and got him to help find the person. Red Boy had no choice but to take the photo and ask everyone he met.
Although Red Boy's words weren't pleasant to hear, they were indeed reasonable. Fangzheng was a little impressed by Ma Guifen's actions. She was truly bold! Moreover, he was a little too rash in his actions. If he didn't, what would he have done?
"Patron, how long has Dawu been around?" asked Fangzheng.
"He only got off today," Ma Guifen said.
Fangzheng nodded and took out his cell phone to search. The train station was about two kilometers away. Ma Guifen had asked along the way and happened to bump into him. It had to be said that she was lucky.
"Why are you looking for your daughter?" Fangzheng was puzzled. Why had Ma Guifen come all the way here in such a hurry?
"I'm looking for her …" Ma Guifen looked up and was just about to say something when footsteps sounded from afar.
Almost at the same time, a voice sounded from upstairs. "Venerable One, run! There are a lot of them! "
The moment that was said, many people looked over. A shop owner hurriedly closed his door in fright.
"Boss, who are these people? Why are you so afraid? "a new attendant asked, perplexed.
"You just came here, so you don't understand this place. They are famous hooligans in the area. The one leading them has a snake tattoo on his arm. He's nicknamed Brother Snake. Although he doesn't take protection fees, he's famous for causing trouble. Fighting was a common occurrence, and he often accepted money to fight for others. He had even broken a person's arm before. We can't afford to offend such people, "the boss said.
"Ah? Then they are there to beat someone up? Heavens, wouldn't that monk be in danger? "The attendant covered her mouth as she looked worriedly at the white-robed monk. She thought to herself, "What a pity. Such a handsome monk is going to be beaten up badly."
"Why isn't that monk running? Is he dumb? "A young man standing beside the man who had given Fangzheng the pole said worriedly.
The man said, "He's probably scared out of his wits. Even Brother Snake is here. This matter will blow up! I never expected that a beggar would be able to get Brother Snake. Sigh … Let's make a call. "
"He's still fighting? I've already called the police. The police said they would arrive in five minutes, "the youth said.
"I'm not calling the police. I'm calling an ambulance! Brother Snake knows this area very well. The police can arrive in five minutes, but he can beat someone half-dead in two minutes. Then, he can run. This bastard won't give the police a chance to spoil things, "the man said.
"Tsk, that monk sure is pitiful." The youth smacked his lips and began calling the emergency services.
And at that moment, Fangzheng turned his head and saw a group of people running over with poles in hand. Leading them was the fake beggar who had his pants ripped off by Red Boy and had his identity exposed! The fake beggar led the way with a steel pipe in hand. His eyes were ferocious as he ran and shouted, "Darn Bald Donkey! Stop right there! "
Behind the fake beggar was a man with a mohawk. He was wearing an open checkered shirt, and his entire arm was exposed. There was a huge azure snake tattooed on it, making him look extremely ferocious. He held a solid steel pipe in his hand. The man's eyes weren't fierce, but Fangzheng felt like he was being targeted by a venomous snake. It was as though the fellow who was one step behind, like a lackey, was the true danger!
However, Fangzheng thought nothing of it. Even a great demon king like Red Boy couldn't do a thing to Fangzheng back then, much less a few mere mortals.
Fangzheng rubbed his bald head and turned to look at the others. Many people were given a fright by the group's actions as they hurriedly dispersed. Some people had already begun calling the police. Then, Fangzheng turned back to look at the fake beggars and mumbled. "There's no baldy running either? Is this person blind? This Penniless Monk didn't run either. "
Before Fangzheng could do anything, Ma Guifen suddenly stood in front of Fangzheng and shouted. "What are you doing?"
