When Salted Fish saw this, he grabbed the bowl and began eating. His mouth was wide open, and it was unknown if he had chewed or not. In any case, he finished the huge bowl of rice in a few mouthfuls. Then, he put down the bowl and looked at Squirrel sideways, indicating that he had finished it all.
Squirrel looked at the bowl and then at Salted Fish. He grinned and turned to leave.
At that moment, Monkey placed a rice ball the size of a real fist on the table and said, "From the looks of it, you don't need this."
"Yes!" Salted Fish subconsciously shouted before snatching it and finishing it on the spot!
"I have more. Do you want it?" Lone Wolf suddenly looked up and shouted.
Just as Salted Fish was about to say yes, he immediately realized that there was something wrong with the fellow in front of him! This fellow didn't have hands, and his claws weren't nimble. How was he to make rice balls? More importantly, this fellow's claws were running around on the ground. When he peed, he used his claws to dig into the soil …
With this in mind, Salted Fish's nodding head immediately turned in a circle and shook it.
However, it was too late. Lone Wolf placed his huge rice bowl on the table and pouted. "There's still some left. I couldn't bear to eat it."
Salted Fish looked down and his face instantly darkened! Indeed, there was still some left. The rice was spread at the bottom of the rice bowl and around it. To eat the rice, one basically had to lick it the entire time! Although it was called eating, it was no different from washing dishes.
Salted Fish hurriedly shook his head and said, "There's no need. I'm full."
"Are you really not eating?" Lone Wolf asked suspiciously.
Salted Fish shook his head immediately.
Lone Wolf licked his lips and said, "It just so happens that I'm not full." Then, he held the huge rice bowl in his mouth and began eating.
Upon seeing this scene, Salted Fish didn't mock him for the first time. It was also the first time he felt that such a crude way of eating and tasteless eating equipment was actually pretty good.
After returning to the Heavenly Dragon Pond, Salted Fish didn't splash around. Instead, he lay on the water's surface and pondered over his life.
In fact, he had always treated himself as an outsider despite having been in Mt. One Finger for so long. He had always dreamed of being an ancestor on Mount Numinous. He had always felt that he was superior to everyone here. He was also very critical of everyone in the monastery. This was not good, that was not good. No matter how he picked, there was never a good place for him.
He didn't feel any sympathy for Squirrel's mistake. Instead, he was more interested in watching the show.
But what he had experienced tonight had touched him quite a bit. He didn't know what he had realized, but he knew that some of the scriptures he had heard from Buddha in the past had suddenly made him more enlightened. He seemed to have understood something. He felt a warm current flowing through his heart. It was warm and comfortable …
"Why haven't I felt this before? How magical … "Salted Fish mumbled.
Inside the monastery, Squirrel sat on Lone Wolf's head as he watched Red Boy build a snowman. He scratched his head and asked, "Eldest Senior Brother, Fourth Junior Brother, why did Patron Ma lend them money despite knowing that they aren't good people? Isn't he just looking for trouble? "
Red Boy curled his lips and said, "Some people don't deserve sympathy. They're good people and deserve to suffer."
The squirrel frowned as he looked at the sky and mumbled, "But I feel that it would be great if I had such a relative."
The moment that was said, Red Boy and Lone Wolf were taken aback. On careful thought, it seemed like they liked such a relative.
At that moment, Fangzheng's voice sounded. "Amitabha. When did a good person become the target of criticism?"
As he spoke, Fangzheng pushed open the door and walked out. He chuckled as he looked at the three animals.
Red Boy said stubbornly, "Master, I didn't say anything wrong. Isn't Patron Ma the one who's silly? He clearly knows that such people aren't reliable, yet he still lends them money … "
Fangzheng shook his head. "He's silly, but This Penniless Monk doesn't mind having too many silly relatives. Do you have any? If you do, give This Penniless Monk a stack. "
Red Boy was rendered speechless. He carefully thought about the people around him. He didn't have a single such friend or relative! At that instant, Red Boy felt a little envious of Ma Jiangping. He also understood what Fangzheng meant.
Fangzheng continued. "Patron Ma is different from many people. He left home from a young age and lived alone. He has no wife or children his entire life. He's all alone, and as a result, he's a little antisocial. But the more such a person is, the more he yearns for familial love and recognition. Ma Jiangping and company might not be good people, but Patron Ma still tries his best to protect them … However, he doesn't realize this himself.
A person who gives his heart is forever worthy of respect. As for the bitter consequences in return, it's the other party who's in the wrong. We shouldn't scold the good, but condemn the evil. Similarly, we should help the good and punish the evil. What we want is for there to be more people like Lame Ma and fewer people like Ma Jiangping. That is justice. "
Red Boy, Squirrel, and Lone Wolf fell into deep thought.
After an uneventful night, the next day, the sky gradually brightened amidst the gongs.
Fangzheng got his disciples to tend to the monastery and the snow that had fallen on the mountain path. As for himself, he went down the mountain.
While walking on the mountain path, Fangzheng silently contacted the System. "System, can I try the lottery?"
"Of course. You did very well this time. You used public opinion to spread the concept of kindness. It was very influential. Unknowingly, you changed many people's understanding of public opinion. Indirectly, you also saved many people. Therefore, the merit you gained this time is not small! If you try the lottery, you should be able to get something good, "said the System.
Fangzheng's eyes lit up when he heard that. He hurriedly said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's try! "
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained a new divine power — Solicit Donations! "
"Pfft … Solicit donations? You call that a divine power? "Fangzheng nearly blew his top when he heard that! Wasn't the so-called soliciting donations just a form of begging? This required a divine power? He really wanted to beat the System to death.
The System chuckled. "Why? Do you dislike it? If you dislike it, I can take it back for you. "
"This …" Fangzheng's eyes widened. Had he been scammed? This did not conform to the System's usual routine. Wasn't the System's products supposed to be excellent? According to past experience, it was unlikely he would suffer a loss!
"Do you accept it? If you don't, I'll take it back, "said the System languidly.
Fangzheng hurriedly exclaimed, "Yes! Of course! "
"You will thank me. Hehe." The next moment, the introduction of the divine power flashed in Fangzheng's mind. After reading it, Fangzheng widened his mouth and immediately beamed. "Haha! So that's how it is. So that's how it is. Wonderful, wonderful. It's indeed good stuff! Uh, why is there a note? "
After reading the note, Fangzheng's smile came to a halt. However, after some thought, he shook his head. "Forget it. This isn't too bad."
With that said, Fangzheng happily went down the mountain. Fangzheng found Lame Ma and called him out.
