When Squirrel heard that, he immediately raised his paw and said adorably, "Then shall we move to the south?"
Fangzheng: "…"
After a night of fooling around, Fangzheng chased all of them off the roof and went down himself. He originally wanted to hide and pretend to be aloof, but he ended up being foiled by these disciples.
After returning to his room, Fangzheng chatted with Zen Master One for a while before falling asleep.
After an uneventful night, Fangzheng opened the door the next morning and saw that the sky had turned dark. The northern wind blew, filling the sky with snowflakes. It was unknown if it was snowing or not.
Before Light Snow, although the northwestern winds were strong, they rarely blew continuously. But after Light Snow, the northwestern winds were commonplace. Strong winds howled, dark clouds churned, and snow danced in the sky. It was quite a sight to behold.
Fangzheng tightened his collar and called out to Monkey. He went out to strike the bell and drum.
As it was a cloudy day, it was impossible to tell when the sun rose. Anyway, the sky had already lit up. As for the villagers at the foot of the mountain and the people in the distant Songwu County City's suburbs, they were already used to waking up to the sound of the bell and drum. As for what the roosters thought, no one seemed to consider the problem …
From afar, Mt. One Finger was covered in silver. The trees, the leaves of the Frost Bamboo, the roofs, and the walls were all white. As a wisp of smoke curled up, the cold and silent mountaintop seemed to come to life.
While eating, Red Boy took out his cell phone and shouted, "Master, yesterday's news. Quick, look. Patron Chen and his family are on the local news. Patron Chen even said he wanted to thank you … I think our monastery will become famous again. Unfortunately, this crappy mountain path is too difficult to walk. Once the snow falls, people can't come up at all. "
With that said, Red Boy shook his head and sighed.
Fangzheng appeared indifferent. He had long thought things through. With so much merit, there was no chance for him in this lifetime. Since there was no hope of renouncing asceticism, he might as well be a monk striking the bell every day. Hence, he said with a smile, "There's nothing we can do about it. It'll be fine once spring comes."
Red Boy thought about it and agreed. Hence, he put down his cell phone and quickly ate his meal.
After breakfast, Fangzheng received a call from Yang Hua.
"Abbot Fangzheng, it's getting cold. Mantou and bean buns are ready. Do you want to come down and eat?" It was a mess on Yang Hua's side, as though there were many people. He had no choice but to shout at the top of his lungs.
With this shout, the silent Mt. One Finger's dining table instantly turned even more silent. A few pairs of eyes stared at Fangzheng as though they were emitting stars.
How could Fangzheng say no when he saw the yearning in their eyes? Hence, he said with a smile, "Alright, This Penniless Monk will head down in a while. Haha …"
Upon hearing that, Squirrel was the first to jump up. "Yeah! I'm not eating anymore, I'm going down the mountain to eat bean buns! "
"I want to go down the mountain to eat steamed buns. I want to eat ten!" Lone Wolf shouted.
Red Boy chuckled and said, "I can finally eat something different."
Salted Fish opened his mouth and said, "Reverend, I request to join the Foodie team!"
Fangzheng waved his hand. "Approved! Jingxin, you're in charge of taking care of Salted Fish. Remember, you're Salted Fish. Don't let anyone discover you! "
Salted Fish exclaimed. "Don't worry. No one will discover it! Trust me. It's safe! "
Hence, Red Boy, Monkey, Lone Wolf, Squirrel, and Salted Fish swept the food on the table at an unprecedented speed. Then, all of them took the initiative to pick up the table. In no time at all, they cleaned the table until it was sparkling. Even the kitchen was wiped spotless. Then, as though they were lining up, they stood in front of Fangzheng and looked at him with eyes filled with anticipation.
Fangzheng didn't waste his breath as he waved his hand. "Set off!"
"Charge! The Foodie Team is going down the mountain!" Squirrel rode on Lone Wolf's head as he roared and charged down.
Red Boy dragged Salted Fish's tail and followed. Salted Fish yelled on the ground. "Reverend asked you to take care of me, not drag me! Reverend, can't you do something to this brat? Someone died? No, a dead fish? That's not right either … A dead salted fish? That's not right either. A dead carp … "
Dong!
Before Salted Fish could finish his sentence, he was struck in the head by a rock on the ground as he cried out in pain. Unfortunately, Red Boy had no intention of ignoring him. Salted Fish struggled a few times and realized that he couldn't escape. Fangzheng had no intention of interfering either. Finally, the fellow used his fins to prop up his chin and lay on the ground, allowing Red Boy to drag him away.
Monkey didn't follow. Instead, he followed behind Fangzheng, looking like he was a monk.
With regards to this, Fangzheng was rather pleased. Although the monkey was lively deep down, he was quite decent when he put on an act.
Fangzheng led a group of disciples down the mountain and entered the village entrance. He saw a huge snowman piled up there.
As Fangzheng walked past, a voice suddenly sounded from the snowman. "Brother Fangzheng, do you know who I am? Do you know where I am? "
Fangzheng was instantly amused when he heard Mengmeng's shout. Although One Finger Village was becoming more and more lively, with people who had gone out returning, there were more young people and children. However, how could Fangzheng not know the familiar tone that had a lisp? "Laughing, Mengmeng, change your voice the next time you want people to guess."
"Ah … You guessed it just like that? Then guess where I am, "Mengmeng shouted, unwilling to give up.
Fangzheng shook his head. This was a trick he had played before. Was this little guy testing him again? Fangzheng circled around the snowman and indeed, there was a tiny door behind it that was covered by a paper shell. When he opened it, he saw a pair of raven-black eyes. It was Mengmeng, who was dressed in a red down jacket and looked like a tiny meatball.
Fangzheng carried the little guy out as Mengmeng immediately pouted. "How did you find me …"
Fangzheng laughed out loud. "It was a guess this time. Next time, I definitely won't be able to find you if you hide here."
"Really?" asked Mengmeng.
Fangzheng nodded.
Mengmeng smiled in delight. At that moment, Squirrel handed her a pine nut, making her smile even happier. However, Mengmeng quickly shook off Fangzheng and climbed onto Lone Wolf's back. Monkey hurriedly helped her up. Then, Lone Wolf howled and ran off with Mengmeng and Squirrel. Monkey followed to prevent Mengmeng from falling.
Red Boy chased after Lone Wolf with Salted Fish in tow. From afar, he looked like a tiny mountain king dragging a spiked club in the shape of a salted fish down the mountain. He even looked rather mighty.
Fangzheng smiled and followed. After walking for a short distance, Fangzheng heard a commotion in front of him. It was a huge group of children. It was unknown which family they belonged to, but they were gathered together and looking curiously at Mengmeng who was riding on the lone wolf. All of them were eager to give it a try, but they were afraid of Lone Wolf and did not dare go forward.
Mengmeng raised her head like a queen, feeling rather smug.
