Elsewhere in Black Mountain City's exclusive retailer for Porsche, a woman nearly smashed the phone out of anger . "That darn monk was actually pulling a prank on me!"
Although Xiaorong was cursing, she knew that it was all her fault for being overly eager . She had interrupted Fangzheng at every critical juncture, causing the huge misunderstanding! However, she had a nagging feeling that she had been tricked by the asshole monk!
"No, I can't take this lying down . I have to find out where the asshole is . Hmph, not short of fifty thousand? He even asked about the car's capabilities and wanted to test-drive a Porsche Angel that is worth more than ten million? Fine, wait and see! I'll be selling you a plane next time . Let's see if you still have any reason to reject me!" Xiaorong roared inwardly . Simultaneously, she wondered if she should make a trip to see what the prankster looked like .
And at that moment in time, Fangzheng had already arrived in front of his Crystal Rice paddy . He sat under the Frost Bamboo's mother bamboo . He did not bring the wooden fish this time and peacefully recited the scriptures . The mother bamboo gently swayed in the wind, as though it could understand Fangzheng . The Crystal Rice sprouts also finally emerged out of the water's surface in the Crystal Rice paddy . They had an extremely beautiful green .
Late into the night, Fangzheng was just about to sleep when his cell phone suddenly rang .
Fangzheng helplessly picked it up without looking at the number . He was a little confused when he heard the voice of a child over the phone, "Hey! Is that daddy?"
Fangzheng was immediately rendered speechless as he replied, "Hey, This Penniless Monk is really not your father . "
"Ah… Oh, sorry," the child's disappointed voice sounded before he hung up .
Upon hearing the child's disappointed voice, Fangzheng lost his sleepiness . He lied in bed feeling a little conflicted . He did not have parents from a young age . Although he did not have a lack of love, whose love could replace true parents? Having good food to eat and a roof over one's head could not be compared to the companionship offered by parents . That was every child's wish .
"Maybe I should acknowledge him . He might be very happy that way . But I don't even know his name . If he finds out the truth, wouldn't that be very awkward?" Fangzheng shook his head and turned around before dozing off to sleep .
Early next morning, Fangzheng's phone rang again while he had his meal . Fangzheng was prepared and when he saw the number, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief realizing that it was not the boy . The person who called was Jing Yan…
Fangzheng was about to pick up the call when he realized that the other party had stopped the call . After some thought, Fangzheng called back . The ringtone was not the default dull one but a polyphonic ringtone . It was a song that sounded heavy and a little sorrowful . Fangzheng only heard it twice before his heart began palpitating . Instantly, scenes of Liu Fangfang in the birch forest appeared in his mind .
"White snow blows over the quiet village . Pigeons fly in the hazy sky . Two names carved into a birch tree…"
"White snow blows over the quiet village . Pigeons fly in the hazy sky . Two names carved into a birch tree…"
Fangzheng listened to it quietly as he reminisced . As he appreciated the charms of the song and listened to the story it depicted, the tune stopped . A languid voice sounded, "Hello . Master, you are early . "
Fangzheng said, "Amitabha . Patron, it was you who called This Penniless Monk first . "
"Ah!? Did I? I was switching off the alarm and accidentally touched it . Sorry about that," Jing Yan sounded a lot more awake in an instant .
Fangzheng was rendered speechless . He never expected that to happen . However, Fangzheng asked out of curiosity, "Patron, what song is your ringtone? This Penniless Monk likes it a lot . "
"Birch Forest . I found it by chance on the Internet . This song matched Granny Liu Fangfang very well . Although there are dissimilarities, I like it . I like the feeling it gives . "
"It's indeed very pleasant and meaningful . By the way, how is Patron Liu? Also, what about the dock?"
"Hehe . Master, don't worry . The dock won't be demolished . It was to be demolished because the dock was dirty and messy . If the dock wasn't removed, the other places could not be touched . But there is no problem anymore . The government has decided to transform it into an area that pays tribute to our patriots . It will be a place where we can cherish the memories of our patriots together . Also, the city plans on establishing a nameless patriot tombstone . In the future, people can do tomb-sweeping there on Tomb-Sweeping Day . It will not only be the place for Granny Liu and others to await the return of the patriots but for all of us to wait together .

In the future, people can do tomb-sweeping there on Tomb-Sweeping Day . It will not only be the place for Granny Liu and others to await the return of the patriots but for all of us to wait together .
Now, the government is sending people to begin restoration and reinforcement works on the old dock . Furthermore, there will be people hired to keep the old dock clean . And after this matter was made known, the local residents responded with fervent support . They came forward to clean up the streets . Now, it's not dirty but very clean instead . Only the buildings are a little old, but that's good too . They remind us of that era .
Auntie Liu has returned to her hometown . She's well and the villagers take very good care of her . Her family has accepted her back, and her days are pretty good . "
Fangzheng was extremely shocked . Although he wished that the government would retain the dock which had sent off and awaited the patriots, he had not beared much hope . After all, many things could not be changed simply because of a single person . He never expected that the government seemed to place an emphasis that far exceeded his imagination on the matter .
Upon hearing the good news, Fangzheng let out a Buddhist proclamation, "Amitabha! Very good indeed . "
The two exchanged a few words before Jing Yan said, "Master, I'll talk to you another time . I have an interview today . I need to get up . Bye . "
Fangzheng did not ask further and hung up as he began eating his meal .
Red Boy had been listening while sitting across Fangzheng . He swallowed his last mouthful of rice when he saw that Fangzheng was done with the call . He grinned and snorted, "Master, chatting with a female patron? You seemed to have quite a happy chat . "

Fangzheng pricked up his brows when he heard Red Boy's eccentric tone . He said solemnly, "Jingxin, are you done with your meal? If you are done, go fetch some water . "
Red Boy glared at Fangzheng aggrieved, but Fangzheng continued slowly eating, unfazed, as though he did not care if Red Boy kept staring at him . Red Boy twitched his nose and said, "I'd definitely kill you if not for me not being your match!"
Then, Red Boy sullenly went to fetch water .
Having seen Red Boy fetch water before, the construction workers no longer found it an odd sight when they saw Red Boy come down again . However, they watched him come and go pitifully . It left Red Boy very uncomfortable . However, he was arrogant and could not be bothered to speak to the mortals .
After Fangzheng finished his breakfast, he came in front of the temple hall . He switched off his cell phone before walking into the temple hall to strike the wooden fish and begin his scripture recital .
The bodhi tree in the yard was getting more lush as its crown grew larger . It swayed with the wind as leaves scattered . Beneath the tree was Monkey, dressed in a monk robe, as he slowly swept the leaves . Squirrel was diligently sending pine nuts into his personal villa on the tree . The entire world seemed to be immersed in serenity .
