Chapter 908: 908
With this in mind, Fangzheng's mind began to wander . Is this considered a violation of the precepts? I gained a wife and child before renouncing asceticism . Well, I guess it doesn't count . This Penniless Monk is doing a good deed . But does this really count as having a wife? If so, how should I address her? Dear? Will I be beaten to death if I do that? Will the System strike me with lightning?
Fangzheng's face blushed… Although he was thick-skinned, that was only the case concerning certain matters . He was a rookie when it came to birds and bees .
It was Keke's mother who broke the awkward silence by asking, "Venerable Fangzheng, where do you cultivate?"
The question pulled Fangzheng back to his senses . Firstly, once it concerned anything not related to romance, Fangzheng's mind could turn active again . Sitting there, he began recounting his life story . He talked about Mt . One Finger, One Finger Monastery, and One Finger Village, as well as Zen Master One Finger . While listening to Fangzheng's playful stories from his youth, Keke and her mother would laugh from his occasional jokes . Instantly, the room turned warm, and the barriers between them slowly vanished .
Lone Wolf was slumped outside the door, secretly memorizing the embarrassing childhood stories Fangzheng told of himself . He thought, "This can be considered a chink in Master's armor . It's really not easy to obtain some dirt on him . I wonder if I'll be able to use it to exchange for an extra meal or two when we're back… Yeah, if I don't end up being beaten to death . "
After chatting an entire morning, Fangzheng also learned the name of Keke's mother . She was Zhang Huixin . Keke's father had passed away when she was one . He had died in a car accident while they were out on a family trip . Zhang Huixin was the only one who survived the accident . Later, due to various incidents, Zhang Huixin slowly severed her ties with her family, and she led her life with Fang Ke alone .
She originally imagined that the accident hadn't affected her physically . To handle the funeral of her husband, she became extremely busy, so she didn't go for a checkup to the hospital . To ensure their livelihood, she worked several jobs a day, only returning late at night . In the first few years, she even had to bring Keke to her work place… Finally, she succumbed to fatigue a few years later, and she was unable to stand again . Also, due to her fatigue, her cornea had problems . All she could see after a while was a blur, and finally, her illness developed into complete blindness .
From that moment, she had to rely on Keke as well as the help of her neighbors to barely survive . If not for Fangzheng, she wouldn't have known that Song Bin had taken away everything in her house . She would have also been at a loss as to how she could deal with a hooligan like Song Bin .
When Fangzheng heard this, he sighed . At the same time, he found fate miraculous . The scroll's mission had sent him there . If not for the scroll, he wouldn't have met Zhang Huixin and Keke . What would have happened to them in that case?
With this in mind, Fangzheng shook his head and dispersed those thoughts . He only needed to keep one thing in mind . Perhaps he couldn't save everyone in the world, but he had to help whoever he met .
The trio managed to chat until noon, when two rumbling sounds were heard . Only then did Fangzheng recall that it was lunch time! As for the duo in front of him, they both looked a little embarrassed .
Zhang Huixin hurriedly said, "Keke, is there anything left to eat at home? Use it for our meal . "
Clearly, she wanted to be a good host to Fangzheng .
Keke exclaimed . "Ah, I got Granny Zhang to stew…"
"Stew what?" Zhang Huixin asked when Keke suddenly stopped mid-sentence .
"Chicken . Chicken stew . She hasn't brought it yet . I'll go get it…" With that said, Keke planned on heading downstairs . Fangzheng was worried for her safety, so he said, "This Penniless Monk will follow Keke . Jingfa, you watch the house . "
