The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Fangzheng dug his ears and said indifferently, “Patron, did This Penniless Monk’s disciple hit you? Why are you shouting if he didn’t hit you? Why are adults involving themselves in games between children? Why are you so petty?”

When the woman heard this, her face turned red with anger. Wasn’t she the one who had just said those words? She never expected that it would be redirected back at her.

However, the woman didn’t care about that. She rushed forward and grabbed Fangzheng’s collar.

Fangzheng did not dodge and allowed her to grab him as he chuckled. “Patron, why are you grabbing This Penniless Monk? Don’t you want your child anymore?”

“Child? Oh right, where’s my child?! Where’s the child!?” The woman wailed.

Fangzheng pointed up to the sky. When the woman heard that, she began crying. She pulled Fangzheng and shouted, “Return my child! Return my child!”

Fangzheng wasn’t in a rush. He continued chuckling at the woman. “Do you still want the child?”

“Yes… yes!” shouted the woman.

At that moment, the woman came back to her senses. Her mind was a lot clearer. Who could throw another person into the sky for so long without him dropping? Even if he was launched by a cannon, he should have fallen after such a long time.

Since ordinary people couldn’t do it, the monk in front of her… She immediately thought of Fangzheng. Although she didn’t know the monk in front of her, she still believed that he was no ordinary person.

Hence, the woman hurriedly said, “Master, return the child to me.”

Fangzheng asked with a chuckle, “Patron, you were the one who said that it’s fine for children to play around. They are just messing around. Why do you care? Besides, isn’t your child back?”

The woman subconsciously looked up and saw a tiny black dot gradually enlarge. The screams grew louder.

“Help me!!!!”

“My child, save my child. He’s about to die!” The woman screamed hysterically.

The commotion attracted the dancing middle-aged women and the others who were strolling with their children. Everyone looked up and saw a child fall from the sky.

Everyone exclaimed in shock…

At that moment, Red Boy took a step forward and extended his hand to catch the child!

Everyone fell silent as they rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

The woman was the first to regain her senses as she shouted, “My child!”

As she spoke, the woman pounced at Red Boy. However, Red Boy turned around and laughed. “Fly!”

Swoosh!

The child howled and flew up into the sky, turning into a small black dot in an instant. No one knew how high he flew!

The woman screamed almost at the same time…

When the others came back to their senses, they widened their eyes in disbelief. The scene before them was too magical!

The woman grabbed Red Boy with one hand and grabbed Fangzheng with the other. “Return my child! Return my child!”

Fangzheng patted the woman’s arm and said extremely calmly, “Patron, the children are playing. Can you have some manners?”

The woman cursed loudly, “F**k your playing! Return me my child! Otherwise, I’ll fight it out with you!”

Fangzheng sighed. “Jingxin, they need some silence.”

Red Boy nodded. “Alright! I’ll let her fly as well!”

The woman immediately let go when she heard that. She shouted, “Don’t! Don’t! Master! Master! Master! I was wrong! Return my child to me!”

Red Boy shook his head. “That won’t do. What if he comes down and hits me again? Let me tell you, my tolerance is limited. If he uses a rock to hit me again, I’ll use a rock to hit him. Just like that…”

As he spoke, Red Boy smacked the ground with his palm, producing a hole in the cement!

It scared the woman so much that she broke out in cold sweat and her legs went weak. At this moment, she finally realized that she had messed with the wrong people. All her years of spoiling her child had caused today’s situation!

Seeing that it was about time, Fangzheng nodded at Red Boy. The next moment, Red Boy extended his hand. The moment the child fell, he grabbed him and gently placed him on the ground.

The child didn’t cry. He stood in his spot and stared straight at Red Boy before looking at his grandmother…

When the woman saw this, she hurriedly ran over and hugged the child as she cried, “Nu Nu, are you alright? How does it hurt? Tell Granny.”

The child finally reacted and burst into tears.

Back when he was thrown into the sky, all he did was cry out in fear. Now, he was completely crying… The way he looked at Red Boy was filled with fear. He no longer dared to use a rock to hit him. Just a glance from Red Boy made him cry louder. He kept hugging his grandmother tighter.

When Red Boy saw this, he smiled in satisfaction. Hehe. “Every item has its weakness. How dare you show off to me again?”

Fangzheng patted Red Boy on the head. “Don’t be smug. Go back and copy the scriptures.”

Red Boy immediately turned listless when he heard that.

Fangzheng said to the woman, “Patron, you encountered This Penniless Monk and This Penniless Monk’s disciple today, so it was only scary but nothing dangerous. In the future, if your child were to use a rock to beat someone who is powerful, the outcome won’t be limited to flying for a while. Spare the rod and you spoil the child. You might spare the rod, but someone will naturally help you beat him up. Think about it. Would you prefer disciplining him with restrain or wait for him to provoke an outsider who will seek revenge without any qualms?”

“Master, you’re right! This child is indeed too naughty. He beat Niu Niu to tears yesterday.”

“The day before yesterday, we broke our child’s toy car.”

“My child doesn’t even play with him. He’s too mischievous. He always hits people.”

“It’s only because he’s our neighbor that we let him be. If he were in school, he might be in for trouble when he encounters someone unreasonable.”

“Indeed. If you discover any mistakes, you should discipline them yourself. Otherwise, if you wait for society to discipline him, it might mean hospitalization or jail. That would be disastrous.”

…

At this point, the woman was no longer as overbearing as before. She just nodded like a chicken pecking at grain.

It was only now that she realized that she had always thought that her child’s mischievousness was adorable. If no one else made mention of it, it was because they liked it. Now, she realized that her child had caused public harm and no one liked him. It was just that no one said it out loud and secretly distanced themselves from them…

Although she could not tell what was going on at the moment, she still felt a lingering fear when she recalled the matter.

At this moment, someone shouted, “Nu Nu’s father is here!”

Everyone turned their heads and saw a burly, muscular man with a fiendish expression charge over! That bald head was bigger than Fangzheng’s head!

When everyone saw this, they immediately retreated, afraid that they would be embroiled in the ensuing war.

When the woman saw that her son was here, she immediately got up and ran over with the child. Then, she said something to Nu Nu’s father.
