Chapter 282 She is the best at making money
Ruguan couldn't remember how long he had been with the young monk. During this period, many people came and went in the temple. Some were reluctant to see the young monk go, while others cursed him when they left, saying that he was a madman and an extreme idealist. More people bowed to him when they left, saying that he was a saint.
But no matter what the other party said, he would return the greeting respectfully and said nothing else, just like when he first welcomed them in.
The lives of the surrounding villagers have improved a lot, so life in the temple has also improved a lot, and the lives of the monks in the temple have also improved, but only he remains the same.
He always said that there was limited suffering in the world, and if he suffered more, others would suffer less.
Fortunately, although he was the one who lived the most frugal life in the temple, he was also the most respected one. Rich people were willing to donate money to him so that he could do good deeds, and more people asked to see him, hoping that he could enlighten all living beings.
Of course, as a tabby cat who has always been squatting beside him, her status is also very high. She often goes to people's houses in the village to watch TV. When she goes there, they will treat her with delicious food and drinks, and some families will turn on the TV for her to watch even if no one is there.
She seldom turned into a human. Some things were enough to have and did not need to be used often. In fact, she still liked to use the body of a cat, because with that, she could sleep in Wende's arms.
One time, she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so she went out for a walk and watched TV. She saw two naked people entangled with each other on TV, so she went back, turned into a human, and hugged Wende without wearing any clothes. As a result, he wrapped her in clothes, grabbed her by the back of the neck and threw her out.
Then she went to play with the most handsome male cat within a hundred miles, and brought the male cat to the temple to meow together. As a result, she was taken back to the Zen room by Wende by the scruff of the neck, and she listened to him chanting "Form is emptiness..." all night long.
He told her that once she became a human, she needed to get rid of her animal desires and learn to control her emotions.
Ruguan kept rolling her eyes at Wende, but Wende seemed not to notice and continued to preach to her. In order to cheer her up, he even used candles for the first time. Anyway, she fell asleep that day and didn't remember anything.
The days passed one after another, until one day, when Wende came back from a place called hospital, he talked to her about death.
Wende asked her if she had infinite life.
She just said casually that it is limited, but compared to humans, as long as the demon does not abuse its magic power, the lifespan will be very long.
She couldn't quite remember what Wende's expression was at the time. She only remembered his words. He said that he wanted to live longer, that pain was also a kind of suffering, and that he also wanted to keep her innocence a little longer.
Ru Guan asked him what he meant by naive and stupid, and whether he was scolding her.
Wende just smiled and said he hoped she could stay like this for the rest of her life.
Ruguan became even angrier, and she began to write with her cat's claws in a crooked hand, "I must become smart."
Later, Ruguan realized that if this was the price of becoming smart, she hoped to remain naive all her life.
Wende has cancer. Ruguan doesn’t know what kind of cancer he has, but he knows from what other people have written that his cancer is very painful but it won’t kill him immediately. He will live slowly and in pain.
This is in line with Wende's wishes.
This is what Ru Guan thought.
But she was so sad that her two paws became bald.
She can't cry, she can only feel sad.
I heard that changing one's lifestyle could alleviate some of the pain, but Wende had a stubborn temper and continued to practice hard and maintain simple control.
Every time Ruguan saw Wende waking up in pain in the middle of the night and then silently beginning to recite scriptures, she comforted herself in her heart.
It’s okay, it’s okay, this is his hope.
He has merits, so he won't die so easily.
So with almost no treatment, Wende lived for another ten years. The doctors said he was a medical miracle, and Ru Guan knew that this was the accumulation of his past good deeds.
However, no matter how great one's merits are, they cannot overcome the exhaustion of the body.
During a sutra recitation, the emaciated Wende collapsed and was sent to the hospital by villagers.
Then the news that he had cancer spread throughout the village.
I heard that it costs money to treat illnesses, and there are incense money in the temple, but Wende couldn't use it. At his insistence, he was discharged from the hospital. The doctor said that he was just waiting to die, but he just smiled and said nothing.
He told the doctor that there was only one thing worth cherishing, and there was no difference between death and life. If possible, he hoped to live longer, but that was just a hope.
Ru Guan looked at her when he said this, and Ru Guan understood that she was the one who understood him best.
He wanted to use his limited life to suffer as much as possible so that others could suffer less.
They returned to the temple. She didn't want to face him who was in pain all day, so she often strolled around the village. She liked listening to people at the entrance of the village talk, which was sometimes more interesting than TV dramas.
A man at the entrance of the village, smoking a cigarette, said, "Who knows if that old monk did something bad in secret to get this cancer?"
The people around him echoed, "Yes, he is the most sanctimonious person in normal times, but he plays the most extravagantly in secret. He is only a monk in his sixties, but he looks older than my great grandfather."
Ru Guan knew immediately that they were talking about Wen De.
Ruguan scratched them directly.
They told Wende directly, and Wende criticized her, so she scratched Wende directly.
That night, Wende fainted again.
This time she went with him in human form. She used the incense money to get him hospitalized, then used her magic power to protect his soul and asked the doctors to protect his body. As long as her magic power did not dissipate, Wende would not die. After all, what hospitals are best at is keeping the body alive.
She wanted to get money and cure Wende so that he wouldn't suffer anymore.
Those people were not worthy of him sharing their suffering.
Also, Wende is only fifty-five, not sixty.
She went to the gambling house, made money, was surrounded and fought, and earned back all of Wende's medical expenses and incense money.
Later, Ru Guan discovered that the money she won from gambling was not only small, but also attracted the attention of various forces. So she turned to making money for rich people and doubled their capital. Even if she only got 30%, it was still much more than what she had earned from gambling before.
Not only can she share the money, but she can also let them buy expensive things for her. If Guan finds out and wants to negotiate a larger share, it would be like asking for the lives of those men. But if she lets them buy luxury goods for her, they are happy to do so.
Strange, really strange.
She knew that doing so was very risky. There was a fixed amount of money in this world, and if she helped these people make money, some of them would inevitably lose money.
So she was blocked again.
The person’s surname this time is Bai.
Very impressive.
