Fang Zheng nodded and said, "That's it, Amitabha. Thank you very much for clarifying my doubts. Please walk slowly."
After saying that, Fang Zheng turned around and went back to the Buddhist hall.
Cao Can was stunned. What did this monk mean? Does the other party know what he is going to do? Thinking of this, Cao Can frowned, and after making sure that he had not told anyone what he thought, he left with Cao Xueke.
On the road. Cao Xueke asked innocently: "Dad, the female mandarin duck is dead, and the male mandarin duck has also died. It's so pitiful. If I were the female mandarin duck, I would hope that he can live happily... "
Cao Can paused slightly and asked in a low voice: "If the male mandarin duck dies, can the female mandarin duck be saved?"
"No...if the female mandarin duck dies, the male mandarin duck will be very sad and will die. Without the male mandarin duck, the female mandarin duck will also be sad and die..." Cao Xueke said, hugging the rabbit tightly in his arms.
Cao Can didn't say a word, and took Cao Xueke down the mountain, then rode his motorcycle back home, but he often got distracted on the way.
At this moment, Fang Zheng was also distracted, because today he opened his eyes and saw something he didn't want to see.
"Hey, Amitabha." Fang Zheng put his hands together and pronounced the Buddha's name.
When he got home, Cao Can didn't even enter the door. He put Cao Xueke down and went to work by bike. However, he did not see that Cao Xueke did not go home, but secretly carried a basket and ran out.
On this day, Cao Can was still working hard overtime, but the rumors he had heard before kept flashing through his mind. But every time he had an idea, he would think of Fang Zheng's question and Cao Xueke's answer. All these things were intertwined in his mind, and he was a little confused...
When Cao Can returned home, he saw Li Xiang sitting there crying...
Cao Can's heart trembled, and he ran over and asked, "What's wrong?"
After asking, Cao Can ran towards the house.
"Don't go in, the child just went to bed." Li Xiang called to Cao Can.
Cao Can breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and asked, "Stop crying, everything will be fine."
"It's not this, look at this..." Li Xiang pointed to a small basket of mushrooms on the ground. There were all kinds of mushrooms, and some were colored, so they were obviously poisonous.
Cao Can frowned and said, "Did you pick them? Some of them are poisonous mushrooms. Ordinary mushrooms can't be sold for more than a few yuan, and they're not easy to sell either."
"No, it was picked by Xue Ke." Li Xiang said.
Cao Can was stunned and remained silent for a long time before saying: "This child..."
"She looked very weak when she came back, so I asked her to go to bed on the kang." Li Xiang said.
At night, Cao Can sat on the kang, hugged Cao Xueke, and said, "Xueke, why did you go picking mushrooms today?"
"Dad eats pancakes every day, and Xueke wants to make delicious food for him. In the past, my father loved mushrooms the most... But then, my father went to work every day and had no time to pick mushrooms." Cao Xueke smiled sweetly, and Cao Can felt in his heart It's also very sweet, but deep inside, it hurts, a heart-wrenching pain. But there is still a smile on my face...
Li Xiang turned her head away, obviously suppressing tears.
"Dad, Mom, Xue Ke has grown up. I walked a long way up the mountain today and picked a lot of mushrooms. When I get older, I will go to school. I heard my uncles and aunts say that you can have good health after going to school. If you work, you can buy a lot of good-looking clothes and a lot of delicious food. When the time comes, Xueke will buy them a lot..." Cao Xueke waved her little hands, her eyes smiling like crescent moons. In my arms, the rabbit is missing one ear, but its head is lowered...
Looking at his sensible daughter in his arms, Cao Can finally made up his mind! anyway…
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, Fang Zheng stretched, cleaned the Buddhist hall, and had breakfast.
The monkey ran to open the temple door early, but it was empty outside. While eating, the monkey asked curiously: "Master, why didn't the two donors come yesterday?"
Fang Zheng said calmly: "If you come, you will come. If you don't come, you won't come. Why do you have to come?"
The monkey was stunned, scratched his head and said, "They usually come early."
Red Boy was much smarter. He rolled his big eyes and said, "Master, has something happened? Shall we go down the mountain?"
Fang Zheng smiled and asked, "What are you doing down the mountain?"
"Save people! If something happens to someone, shouldn't we, as Buddhist disciples, go and save people?" Hong Hai'er said very well, but only he knew what he was thinking.
Lone Wolf said with a flat mouth: "Junior brother, do you want to go down the mountain to play? Look at you, you are so tired from the rain every day, and you don't come out much during the day. Even if you go out, do you have the energy? Master, what do you think about me? Sample?"
Hong Hai'er was anxious. He was indeed pretending to be sick, but he had the ability to do so! No matter how nice the mountain is, it's only one-third of an acre, and you'll get tired of it if you stay there for a long time. After finally getting out, of course I tried hard and looked at Fang Zheng with tears in my eyes, waiting for Fang Zheng to make a decision.
Fang Zheng said: "Master said before, follow the order. The first time I went out with a pure mind, the second time I went out with a pure mind due to special circumstances, is this the third time?"
The lone wolf, squirrel, monkey, and red boy stretched their necks at the same time, widened their eyes, and looked at Fang Zheng expectantly.
Fang Zheng put down his chopsticks and said, "I have decided to take the monkey out."
"Oh, oh, oh, I'm dizzy. It won't rain tonight." Upon hearing this, Honghaier held his head and pretended to be a dead dog.
The monkey was startled. Although Red Boy was a bit of a loser, he still had to rely on him to restore the groundwater resources when it rained here. How could he do it if he didn't have to work? Monkey was about to say something when he heard Fang Zheng say with a smile: "Jing Xin, since you have a headache, go and rest. I am also very enlightened today, so I am going to recite his warm-up for three hours first."
Upon hearing this, Hong Hai'er immediately sat up straight, coughed and said: "Master, for the villagers at the foot of the mountain, for the righteousness between heaven and earth, for... for..." The child found that he was running out of words, and ended directly: "Anyway , I’m okay, I can hold on!”
"Can it rain?" Fang Zheng asked.
Honghai'er said: "Of course! It's a must!"
"Well, I learned Northeastern dialect well. Okay, let's eat." After Fang Zheng finished speaking, everyone continued to eat. After eating, Fang Zheng took the monkey down the mountain.
After getting off, Fang Zheng took the monkey and walked directly outside the village. Fang Zheng could more or less guess where Cao Can lived, because in Cao Can's memory, he saw many iconic mountains and roads, especially the mines. , there is only one mine in the entire Songwu County. From this, it is not difficult for Fang Zheng to guess the location of Cao Can's family.
Fang Zheng led the monkey out of the village and immediately started running. He had no choice but to run without transportation.
The monkey followed Fang Zheng with a miserable look on his face. If he had known that he had to run out, he would not have gone down the mountain. How long would he have run? Since it was still early, there was no one on the road, and there was no ride to take, so one person and one monkey could only run away.
