Cao Xueke suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Mom, Xueke is fine. There is no need to go to the hospital and there is no need to spend money."

Li Xiang rubbed Cao Xueke's head and said, "Okay, Xueke, be good. You don't have to worry about things at home. Go to sleep well."

When Cao Xueke woke up, the couple stopped talking about this topic, not wanting Cao Xueke to hear it.

The next day, Cao Can went out at dawn. In fact, the mine only started working at nine o'clock every morning, but Cao Can went there very early every day and even left the mine early. The boss didn't say anything about this. I liked his approach very much and praised Cao Can several times at conferences. Cao Can did get a little more salary...

However, on this day, Cao Can was called by his boss and then sent to the county to buy some things. Cao Can followed the car to the county seat and was generous enough this time to give him fifty yuan for lunch. There are two people in total, and each of them is twenty-five, which is not too small. After the two purchased a batch of supplies, it was already noon.

"Brother Cao, do you want to go to dinner?" Xiao Zhao, who was driving, said with a smile. He often goes to the city to purchase goods, so he is very familiar with and relaxed, not as rigid as Cao Can.

Cao Can shook his head and said: "Everyone is gone, who is looking after the goods? You go ahead, I'm not hungry."

"Don't worry, no one will steal from us. Besides, the security in the county is still very good. Do you really want to go?" Xiao Zhao asked.

Cao Can shook his head, and Xiao Zhao had no choice but to go by himself.

Cao Can didn't bring any big cakes this time, and his stomach was growling. Not far away, in front of a steamed bun shop, a large basket of steamed buns was just about to start cooking. The waiter shouted loudly: "Here comes the steaming buns!"

With a shout, the lid of the pot was lifted, and the steam was steaming. At the same time, the aroma of white flour steamed buns wafted over, and Cao Can's stomach growled even more. Cao Can turned his head away and looked down at the ground.

After a while, a woman passed by with a little fat boy. Then the little fat boy waved his hand and threw away the steamed bun with a bite, and shouted: "It's not delicious, Mom, I want to eat frozen chicken!"

"You stinky kid, what a waste! Just now you shouted to eat, and now you don't eat?!"

"It smells delicious, but it doesn't taste that good. I won't eat it. I want to eat frozen chicken!"

"Okay, okay, you little ancestor, I'm really convinced by you."

The woman was very helpless and took the fat boy away.

Cao Can looked at the steamed bun on the ground, and then at the two people walking away. He immediately picked up the steamed bun, wiped off the dust on it, and took a bite. In the end, after only two bites, there was another person in front of me, it was the man selling steamed buns.

"Is something wrong?" Cao Can looked very cautious, as if he had been discovered as a thief.

The waiter smiled slightly, took out a bag of steamed buns from behind, with some pickles and a bowl of porridge in it, and said: "Our boss said that we made too much for lunch today and can't eat it. Let's eat together..."

After saying that, the clerk looked towards the other side of the shop, where a chubby middle-aged man was sitting. Seeing Cao Can look over, he waved his hand kindly and shouted: "Brother, it's too hot outside. Let's sit inside and eat." !”

After hearing this, Cao Can stood up, bowed to the boss and the waiter and said, "Thank you. My clothes are dirty, so I won't go."

The waiter smiled and said: "It's not dirty, just sit here and wipe it off after a while. Let's go."

Cao Can refused to go anyway and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude. The waiter was helpless and had no choice but to give up. He went back and said something to the boss. The boss scratched his head and shouted: "Brother, if you are hungry in the future, come to my place. I always make too many steamed buns here and no one buys them. Let's eat together." .”

Cao Can saluted again to express his gratitude and sat aside to continue eating steamed buns and pickles. This was the most delicious meal he had eaten in recent months!

At this moment, I heard someone saying something behind me.

"Really? Jiang Ting, are you telling the truth? Is the Yizhi Temple so magical? People who can't conceive can have children just by asking for them? And, are there so many magical places?"

"Of course, can I lie to you? But few people believe this. Anyway, I saw it with my own eyes... Let me tell you, the One Finger Temple is really magical, at least I can I know several times that science cannot explain things." It was nurse Jiang Ting who spoke.

"I've heard about it too. A lot of friends have been talking about it recently. I don't know if it's true or not. I really need to go and see it if I have the chance... You said bamboo grows in the Northeast. Isn't that amazing?"

"I've also seen faces covered with moles and hair..."

The two of them walked away while talking.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Cao Can raised his head, with a glimmer of light in his eyes as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

The scene changed again. Early in the morning, before dawn, Cao Can went out with his daughter Cao Xueke, who was still sleeping, borrowed a motorcycle and went straight to the foot of Yizhi Mountain...

Seeing this, Fang Zheng sighed. He finally understood why the two of them came so early every time. Cao Can had to rush back to the mines to make money, so he had to come early and go back early.

At this time, Cao Can was kneeling in the Buddhist hall in his dream, praying silently in his heart: "Bodhisattva, please bless my daughter and let her get better. For her, I am willing to risk my life." ... If it really doesn't work, please wish that my subsequent plans can be implemented perfectly. I will no longer be with them in the future, please wish them safety... "

Fang Zheng shook his head slightly. As he expected, Cao Can had already made final preparations. Coming to Yizhi Temple was just his last hope. If it could not be realized, he would definitely embark on the road of no return...

However, Fang Zheng still did nothing. Instead, he withdrew the magical power of Yi Meng Huangliang and continued to chant sutras and knock wooden fish.

Cao Can was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't figure out why he recalled so many things just now. Then he shook his head, stood up, and left with Cao Xueke.

When Cao Can was about to walk out of the temple, Fang Zheng finally spoke: "Donor, this poor monk has a question for you."

Cao Can was stunned, pointed at himself and said, "Master, you want to ask me?"

Fang Zheng smiled slightly, clasped his hands together and said, "Exactly."

Cao Can said: "Master, I... I never went to school."

Fang Zheng ignored him and continued: "Yesterday, the poor monk saw a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water. The female mandarin duck drowned and died. The male mandarin duck was very sad and the other one drowned. Why is this?"

"Master, can mandarin ducks drown to death? Also, do we... have mandarin ducks here?" Although Cao Can has never gone to school, he still knows common sense.

Fang Zheng smiled and said: "I saw this in the animal world. As for whether it will drown, what do you think? A living person can be suffocated to death by something that still has hope, let alone a mandarin duck that can swim?"

Cao Can was stunned. Fang Zheng's words irritated him a bit, but he was not sure if Fang Zheng was talking about him. He continued to think about Fang Zheng's question, and then said: "I think that in the heart of the male mandarin duck, the female mandarin duck is everything. When the mandarin duck dies, his heart dies and his life is gone, so he should die along with him."
