Fangzheng took out the sled once again and strapped it on the extremely unwilling Lone Wolf. "Go, go!" "Oh!" Amidst the sounds, Lone Wolf pulled the sled.
Deep into the night, Fangzheng opened WeChat again and chatted with Fang Yunjing, Ma Juan, Zhao Datong, and company before falling asleep.
After an uneventful night, Fangzheng continued his daily routine the next day. He had his meals and cleaned the temple hall.
It was quite relaxing but soon, this tranquility was broken by a series of footsteps. Fangzheng looked up and immediately frowned. Li Fengxian was here again!
"Little Monk, I'm here again." Li Fengxian beamed when she saw Fangzheng.
Fangzheng stood up and pressed his palms together, "Amitabha. Female Patron, are you here to pay respects to Buddha or is there something else?"
Li Fengxian shook her head, "I'm here today to thank Master for saving my life."
Fangzheng obviously did not believe her. If he had really saved her life, the System would have long rewarded him. There would have been no need for the woman to personally thank him. Fangzheng shook his head, "This Penniless Monk only did it casually. There's no need to call it a favor."
Li Fengxian said, "That won't do. If not for you getting someone to send me down the mountain yesterday, my old illness would have acted up and it would have cost me my life. Therefore, regardless of the situation, I have to personally thank you today. "
Fangzheng said, "Amitabha. Patron, you are too kind."
"Little Monk, why are you so unhappy? Aren't you curious as to how I should thank you? " Li Fengxian's beautiful eyes darted around as though they could speak. She believed that any man would understand what he meant!
Fangzheng only saw Li Fengxian's eyes flicker as though there was a generator installed in them. Electric beams shot out, causing his heart to race. Fangzheng shook his head, "It's just up to fate. This Penniless Monk does not place much importance on gains and losses." However, he thought to himself, "All talk and no action. Aren't you tired? Are you going to give me money or do something? Hurry up … You're waiting for me to die. "
"Monk, why don't you know how to flirt? Why don't you guess? "Li Fengxian asked with a flirtatious smile.
Fangzheng immediately showed her the back of his fair head and turned to leave. He thought to himself, "I haven't cleaned up the monastery yet. There's a lot of things waiting for me. I don't have the time to guess with you …" He said, "Patron, take your time guessing. This Penniless Monk still has matters to attend to. I'll be leaving first."
"You … Little monk, stop right there!" Li Fengxian shouted anxiously.
Fangzheng turned his head and asked, "Female Patron, is there something else?"
"Little Monk, I heard that your monastery is quite efficacious," asked Li Fengxian.
Fangzheng nodded. "Any monastery is efficacious. It's efficacious with sincerity. But our temple only has the Child-Giving Guanyin, if you wish to have a child, burn incense inside and pray sincerely, it will be efficacious. If you don't wish for a child, then there's no point in going in. "
Li Fengxian was speechless. She had wanted to get closer to him by praying to Buddha. However, there was only a child-giving Guanyin inside. Why did she go in? She didn't want children …
However, Li Fengxian immediately said, "Little Monk, to tell you the truth, I've encountered a huge problem in my life. I wish for you to resolve it for me. What do you think? "
Fangzheng shook his head decisively. He was filled with questions himself, so how could he resolve them for others? Wasn't that a joke!? Hence, Fangzheng said, "This Penniless Monk's cultivation is still shallow. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. If there's nothing else, This Penniless Monk will be leaving first. "
"Wait, what's the rush? I haven't even told you my problem. How do you know that you can't help me? As the saying goes, a bystander sees things more clearly. Perhaps you can? Do you really want me to continue being sad until I end up on a path of no return? " Upon saying that, Li Fengxian secretly pinched the back of her waist. Immediately, tears welled up in her eyes. It was a pitiful sight.
Fangzheng did not know that Li Fengxian was resorting to self-harming. Since she was already crying, he decided to listen.
Therefore, Fangzheng and Li Fengxian sat down once again. However, what left Li Fengxian depressed was that the monastery was so poor that they could only sit on rocks. It was truly depressing. It had been cold the entire day yesterday, and she still had to be cold today. She was pissed!
Li Fengxian said, "Little Monk, I'm miserable …" Then, she looked at Fangzheng.
Fangzheng remained motionless.
Li Fengxian continued, "Sigh, as for me, my mother died when I was young. My father sold me. You can't imagine it. When I was ten, my father brought me to a market. Then, on a tiny street in the market, he sold me! I still clearly remember that I cried until my voice turned hoarse. I kept begging him not to sell me. I cried … I cried … I fainted from crying.
In my dream, I saw my father return and bring me home. Back then, I really did not hate him. Instead, I was very happy.
But when I woke up, I realized that things were not as they were. I had been sold! I had really been sold! I had been sold by my biological father!
The person who bought me was an old bachelor in the city … Thankfully, the old man did not plan on raising me as a child bride. Instead, he raised me as a daughter. My subsequent days were not too miserable. I did not go to school, nor did I have any new clothes to wear.
When I was fourteen, the old man fell seriously ill. After all the money in the family was spent, he passed away.
I buried him, and then … I walked the streets alone. I did not know where to go. Later on, I met a benefactor in my life. Although she wasn't a good person, she taught me how to survive as a woman.
I used the method she taught me to survive. Although it was a rather despicable life and I was looked down upon by others, I still managed to survive.
Little Monk, to tell you the truth, I lied to you. I'm not a doctor. I'm a … Forget it, I don't even have the face to say it out loud.
I know that you are clean and I'm dirty. You look down on me. I did not expect you to look up to me. After all, no one in this world looks up to me … Even I look down on myself. But I want to live … Live until the day I meet that heartless bastard again and give him a middle finger! I want to use my actions to tell him that I can still live without him! "
Upon saying that, Li Fengxian was taken aback. Her original plan was not to say that. She had not used the story she had long prepared and had gone off topic. However, when she looked at the calm and smiling monk in front of her, she felt her heart turn calm for some reason. The restlessness in her heart immediately dissipated … Thinking back to her past life, sorrow welled up from the bottom of her heart as tears streamed down her cheeks.
Fangzheng sighed and gave a Buddhist proclamation. "He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over."
"Handkerchief?" Li Fengxian was taken aback. Did people still use handkerchiefs in this day and age?
Fangzheng said, "This is the only thing This Penniless Monk's parents left This Penniless Monk. This Penniless Monk does not even know who his parents are. This Penniless Monk was raised by the old monks in this monastery from a young age. This Penniless Monk has been fed by hundreds of families and slept in hundreds of beds. However, This Penniless Monk knows one thing. The reason why trees grow taller than grass is because they yearn for sunlight. The reason why flowers are prettier than grass is because they wish to become prettier so that more people can appreciate them. This Penniless Monk did not go to school either. This was said by my master, or should I say, my father. Today, I'm giving it to you. "
