Chapter 1371: Brat Subduing Brat
When Fangzheng heard that, he couldn’t hold it in any longer and began laughing maniacally again.
At this moment, he once again made his goal clear. He wanted to do good, both big and small, but he had to learn how to be insightful and do things that were provided long-term benefits. That was the fastest way to earn merit!
After laughing enough, Fangzheng composed himself and took a deep breath. He leisurely went to look for Red Boy.
Fangzheng knew that Red Boy had gone to the square to dance. Therefore, he headed straight for the square…
However, before Fangzheng reached the square, he stood there and began rubbing his eyes. After a few looks, he grinned. “There’s actually such a thing?”
He saw Red Boy standing in the square, looking at another child with a helpless look. The child was slightly bigger and taller than Red Boy.
The child constantly came close and raised his hand to hit Red Boy or kick him with his foot before immediately pulling away.
As for Red Boy, he looked helpless as he clenched his fists. Clearly, he was holding back.
Seeing his disciple being bullied, Fangzheng could not ignore it and immediately went over.
Upon seeing Fangzheng come, Red Boy immediately ran over and shouted, “Master, that punk is too cheap. He keeps hitting me. Are you not going to do something?”
Just as Fangzheng was about to say something, the child chased after him again. However, a middle-aged woman who wasn’t too tall followed after him. She held a lollipop in her hand while she held a children’s water bottle. Clearly, she was the guardian.
Before Fangzheng could say a word, he saw the child run over and kick Red Boy.
Red Boy looked up helplessly and asked Fangzheng, “Master, he kicked me again!”
Fangzheng said, “Kid, how can you kick someone? That’s not right.”
After the child heard that, he thought nothing of it. Instead, he looked up and said, “I’m beating him. So what?!”
Fangzheng’s brows nearly pricked up when he heard that. Why would a brat dare to challenge him?
Before Fangzheng could say a word, the middle-aged woman ran over and protected the child. She glared at Fangzheng as though Fangzheng was bullying the child. She grumbled, “You are already a grown-up. Why are you fussing over matters with a child? You are even a monk. Can you be a little more well-mannered?”
Fangzheng was instantly rendered speechless. What had he done? He hadn’t done anything! On the matter of manners, who was the one without manners?
Red Boy said, “Master, see that? Their entire family is like that.”
Fangzheng nodded and said to the woman, “Female Patron, let’s be reasonable. Aren’t you going to do a thing when your child is hitting someone?”
The woman chuckled. “Did he hit you?”
Fangzheng shook his head and said, “He didn’t hit This Penniless Monk, but he did hit This Penniless Monk’s disciple.”
The woman said, “That’s right. They are children. Aren’t they just messing around? Yet, you take such matters to heart. Why are you so petty as a monk?”
Fangzheng: “…”
At that moment, the woman’s child picked up a rock and ran over to strike Red Boy on the head. Red Boy looked pitifully at Fangzheng and said, “Master, this child is too ruthless.”
Fangzheng said, “Patron, your child can’t do that.”
The woman was given a fright in the beginning, but when she saw that Red Boy was fine and that Fangzheng was speaking ill of the child, she immediately flared up. “Monk, why are you doing this? Isn’t it just a strike? What’s the big deal when children are messing around? How can you consider it a fight? Can that be considered as hitting someone? It’s just for fun!”
Fangzheng said, “If this continues, it will injure the child.”
The woman pursed her lips and said, “Children are all very thick-skinned. Besides, your child’s skin is thicker. I don’t see him injured after so many beatings.”
Fangzheng shot a glance at Red Boy and saw that the brat kept striking Red Boy’s head with a rock. Red Boy narrowed his eyes, looking helpless.
Fangzheng sighed. “This Penniless Monk is not worried about This Penniless Monk’s disciple. Instead, This Penniless Monk is more worried about your child.”
The woman looked at the pitiful and obedient Red Boy before looking at the brat who had the upper hand. She immediately chuckled and said, “It’s fine. My child also has thick skin. Let the children have their fun. We as adults shouldn’t care.”
Fangzheng pressed his palms together and nodded slightly. “Since you say so, This Penniless Monk doesn’t have much to say. Let the children play.”
With that said, Fangzheng changed his honest and pitiful look from before. He grinned at the woman and smiled diabolically.
The woman looked at Fangzheng’s smile and had an ominous feeling. However, she did not find anything amiss.
After such a long time, her child had always had the upper hand. The young monk was so cowardly that he didn’t even dare fight back. Therefore, she didn’t believe that her little tyrant would suffer.
Hence, the woman smiled. “That’s right. Let the children play by themselves. Look how happy they are.”
The brat was still hitting Red Boy, constantly pushing the envelope.
When Red Boy heard that, he asked Fangzheng, “Master, can I play with him?”
Fangzheng turned his head and said with a smile, “Go ahead. Find that childhood joy of yours. Don’t go overboard. You know what I mean.”
“Don’t worry, Master! I’m obedient and gentle!” Red Boy immediately smiled when he heard that. He cracked his knuckles and showed his pearly-white canine teeth as the child who was hitting him. He said, “Little friend, I’ll play with you, alright?”
The brat smacked a rock on Red Boy’s head before saying, “I’m not going anywhere. I’ll just hit you.”
When the woman saw this, she smiled and said, “See, these two children are having so much fun.”
Fangzheng nodded without a word.
Red Boy didn’t address him as master as he said to the brat, “Let’s play a game. Why don’t you hit me once and I hit you once?”
The brat shook his head. “No, only I will hit you. You are not allowed to retaliate.”
Red Boy grinned and thought to himself, “This child isn’t an idiot!”
However, Red Boy immediately said, “Do you know how to fly?”
The brat was taken aback before he shook his head. “No, do you?”
Red Boy did not answer but said, “I can let you fly. Do you believe me?”
The brat became interested when he heard that. “Really? Then let me fly. As long as I can fly, I won’t hit you. I’ll beat up others with you!”
Fangzheng was instantly rendered speechless when he heard that. This child was a habitual criminal! It was no wonder the child’s parents did not care.
Red Boy chuckled. “No problem. Come over. I’ll let you fly.”
As the brat approached Red Boy, Red Boy suddenly took action. He grabbed the child’s collar and shouted, “Fly! Bastard!”
The brat let out a shriek and flew into the sky!
Upon seeing this scene, the woman dropped the water bottle in shock. She screamed, “My child! I’ll fight it out with you!”
