"Sell it, sell it for a good price, if the price is not right, you can't sell it. That's it now, no more talk, I'm dead," said the liar.
"Well... that." The old man hesitated.
"What's wrong?" asked the liar.
"Can you call me mom again?" the old man asked with a bit of pleading.
There was silence on the other side.
The old man became more and more nervous, holding his breath and not daring to take a breath, for fear of accidentally missing the call.
Fang Zheng, Red Boy, and Squirrel stood on the edge with nervous expressions on their faces.
Squirrel looked curiously at the red boy beside him, whose face was flushed because of nervousness, and said: "Junior brother, you are such a good person. You are more nervous and excited than me."
"I'm so excited. Master is pinching me! Master, if you're nervous, can you pinch yourself? What are you pinching me for?" Hong Boy's face turned red and he shouted unhappily.
Fang Zheng was stunned and said in astonishment: "Did I pinch you? Oh, I pinched you wrongly. No wonder I always felt something was wrong. I pinched myself with all my strength, but it didn't hurt... Amitabha, it's okay. Disciple, you are thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Not afraid of pinching.”
"You are as strong as a pair of pliers. Who wouldn't feel pain?" Hong Boyer shouted angrily as he looked at his arm that was red from pinching.
If there is anything else to say, Squirrel said: "Master, do you think the liar will agree? After all, the secret has been exposed..."
"This liar is so boring. When he lied to others, he screamed loudly, but now he is silent. What on earth is he going to do?" Red Boy scolded dissatisfied.
Fang Zheng said: "It's easy to say that it's worthless, but if you get distracted, it will be more difficult."
"You mean, he wants to scream sincerely?" Hong Hai'er said in surprise.
The squirrel said: "This..."
Just when the two little guys looked unbelieving.
A deep and powerful voice came from the phone: "Mom!"
"Hey!" A boundless smile instantly bloomed on the old man's face. All the tears at this moment no longer represented sadness, but happiness!
"Mom, thank you..." the scammer said and hung up the phone.
The old man was confused. Why did the child thank her
At this time, there was a knock on the door. It was someone from the community. The old man looked at these acquaintances, and before they could speak, he took the lead and said, "I'm moving."
"Aunt Liang, we didn't force you to... uh, what? Moved?" The community elder sister was about to start her speech. She had carefully prepared her speech for several days, but found that it seemed that it was no longer needed! I was caught off guard and a little confused.
"I'm moving, Xiao Wu. Thank you for taking this time. Since my son left, I have become a strange old woman and have caused you a lot of trouble. I know how good you are to me. If you hadn't come to see me every day I, the one who washes clothes and delivers rice and noodles, I have long since died. But, I have been unable to open the knot in my heart, and it suddenly opened today. Thank you..." The old man stood up and bowed to them.
Everyone in the community was stunned at first, then quickly helped the old man, and then everyone burst into laughter.
"Aunt Liang, don't say this, this is what we should do." Several people in the community sat down, some went to boil water, some put down the dishes to cook, turned on the TV, listened to songs, chatted, and laughed. , the room that was originally lifeless and coffin-like suddenly became alive, energetic, and full of fireworks, and the room seemed much brighter.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng, Red Boy, and Squirrel looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and left secretly.
After leaving the community, Honghaier said with a smile: "Master, you are basically useless this time... Are you a little disappointed?"
Fang Zheng clasped his hands together, bowed slightly to the community behind him and said, "Amitabha, if all the suffering in the world does not require the help of poor monks, it would be really good."
"Master, why do you feel so contrary to your will when you say this?" Hong Hai'er rolled his eyes and didn't believe it at all.
Fang Zheng didn't say anything. He grabbed the squirrel and threw it in Hong Boy's face. Then he flicked his sleeves, and the two of them and the squirrel disappeared down the street and went back to Yizhi Mountain!
In fact, Hong Hai'er was right, Fang Zheng had not yet reached the state of enlightenment. But Fang Zheng didn't lie either. He really hoped that one day, the world would be full of love and everyone could live happily and friendly in this beautiful world. But Fang Zheng is still a little selfish. If there are no bad guys, where can he earn merit? Therefore, although Fang Zheng wanted to do it, he also didn't want to do it. It was quite contradictory.
Contradiction does not mean lying, so it is not struck by lightning.
At the same time, in a basement in a city along the coast of China, a man suddenly closed his computer, leaned back on his chair, lit a cigarette, and started smoking. One stick, two sticks, three sticks...
After he smoked out a pack of cigarettes.
The man scratched his hair, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hello? Who is it?" An old voice sounded.
When the man heard this voice, his heart trembled, and tears fell down uncontrollably. As if he had exhausted all his strength, he said one sentence: "Mom, I miss you."
"Ah...A Xing? Is that you, A Xing?"
"It's me, Mom, I miss you."
"If you miss me, come back. Mom knows you are busy, but no matter how busy you are, you must have a holiday..."
"Yes, I will go back to see you tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, okay... Our old hens are getting fat. Come back and let's stew the chickens! Also, your uncle's house sent a fish yesterday, and mom is still raising it in a big tank. Come back, Just right…”
"Well, I'll go back right now. I'll go back right away." The man kept nodding. In fact, his mother didn't know that his uncle had called him and told him about this fish. This fish was given to his mother a week ago to replenish his health. However, his mother was reluctant to eat it and wanted to keep it so that he could eat it when he returned.
He didn't feel much at that time, but today, he suddenly realized that he almost missed the most important thing in life!
Without saying anything, the man packed his bags and vacated the house. He boarded the train home the next day, waved to the city fading away behind him, and murmured: "Goodbye, my past." , from now on, be a good and filial son..."
Fang Zheng didn't know this, and he didn't get any reward. After all, he didn't do anything except witnessing the incident.
On the way up the mountain, Fang Zheng was humming and singing, and was just about to order another hot pot. All in all, he was in a good mood, very good!
"Master, you didn't get any hair on your way down the mountain this time, why are you so happy?" Hong Boy asked in confusion.
"You are happy when you get it, but you are not happy when you don't get it? How can you be happy when you worry about gains and losses? The poor monk didn't get it, but he got it, but he couldn't see what he got." Fang Zheng said.
Red Boy and Squirrel looked at each other, looked at Fang Zheng with cute expressions, and asked, "Master, what are you talking about?"
Fang Zheng: “…”
