Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fangzheng said, “Patron, This Penniless Monk is only an ordinary person. Patron, there’s no need for that.”
“You’re not ordinary. You’re a living Bodhisattva!” the old man said excitedly.
Fangzheng felt helpless. All he could do was get Monkey to serve tea and let the elder take a sip to calm his emotions.
When the elder composed himself, Fangzheng said, “Patron, why are you looking for This Penniless Monk?”
The elder thought for a mont and said, “Abbot Fangzheng, my na is Wei Dabao. My house is in the mountains around here. Sigh... I ca here for my wife. Her heart isn’t good. She had a relapse two days ago and was sent to the hospital. She nearly died...”
At this point, Wei Dabao’s tears fell...
“Can’t the hospital treat her?”
Wei Dabao said bitterly, “The doctor said that although there are ways to treat her after having the dical knowledge that you left behind, many things are still in clinical trials. Many drugs are still being tested due to technological limitations.
“Furthermore, the studies are very scattered. My wife’s illness happens to be a problem that has yet been resolved. The most effective solution now is a stenting procedure. However, the cheapest one would cost 15,000 yuan, and the imported ones would cost about 30,000 yuan, or even 40,000 yuan. My wife needs three stents, and the lowest price would be a 100,000... I’ve already sold everything I can...
“To be honest, when I saw many people entering the mountain, they were talking about finding Abbot Fangzheng, so I ca holding out so last hopes.
“If I find you, my wife still has hope. If not... Sigh...”
At this point, Wei Dabao let out a long sigh. “We still have a coffin at ho. We can just bury ourselves together... It’s tiring to live...”
When Fangzheng heard that, a look of anger flashed in his eyes. He said, “Among the dical skills I left behind, there’s guidance on all the technical difficulties of the cardiac stent. It’s not a difficult problem. Why is it still so expensive now? Especially foreign ones, why are they so much more expensive?”
Wei Dabao said, “There’s nothing we can do about it... I heard from others that they have the technology and they can na their price. Even if our country imports them with zero tariffs, the prices remain ridiculously high... It’s not just this kind of stent. So of the drugs that we have yet to co up with are also very expensive.
“Also, these drugs seem to be more expensive than those sold to other countries... Also, I heard that the price has been increasing recently. Don’t you think it’s infuriating?”
When Fangzheng heard that, he felt his anger rise!
Back when he left behind his dical skills, he did not care too much about it. However, he did not expect that after two to three years, the dical treatnt in the country had not improved much. However, he could understand that theory and practice were two different things. Many high-end dical products required extrely precise equipnt. One wrong step could lead to negative effects.
If they couldn’t save people but ended up harming them, it would be terrible.
The country was doing it to et strict requirents...
However, the foreign companies were too despicable. They took advantage of the fact that China was lacking in dical and technical expertise and actually tried to scam China!
Did they really think that this country of etiquette had no anger?
Fangzheng said, “Patron, tell your wife that This Penniless Monk will go to your house to treat her a while later.”
“Ah? Really?!” Wei Dabao exclaid in surprise and then exclaid in joy.
Fangzheng nodded slightly. “Yes.”
Wei Dabao was ecstatic. He was so excited that he didn’t even know where to place his hands. He stood up and was about to leave, but sothing was definitely wrong. He turned around and was about to kneel down...
Fangzheng hurriedly stopped him and said, “Patron, forget it if you want to kneel. If you really want to thank This Penniless Monk, say a few nice words.”
“You are a good man... A good man...” Wei Dabao cried and laughed.
Finally, Wei Dabao hugged Fangzheng as tears stread down his face...
About ten minutes later, Wei Dabao left his address and left under Red Boy’s lead.
The mont Wei Dabao left, Fangzheng’s expression turned solemn.
Scrapped Car said, “You seem very angry.”
Fangzheng said, “This Penniless Monk isn’t angry. This Penniless Monk is furious!”
“Uh, what’s the difference?” Scrapped Car asked.
Fangzheng said, “Things will be fine with anger after calming down. However, fury needs venting.”
As he spoke, Red Boy entered again. However, he brought a middle-aged man with him.
“Abbot Fangzheng, hello. I’m a staff mber of the Guangxi City governnt. My na is Li Xuan. It’s a pleasure to et you,” Li Xuan said.
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. “Patron, you are being too polite. Patron, This Penniless Monk summoned you to ask about sothing.”
Li Xuan said, “Abbot Fangzheng, feel free to say it. In fact, the Guangxi City governnt wants to maintain contact with you. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. As long as it’s legal and reasonable, we will try our best to satisfy you.”
Fangzheng smiled. “This Penniless Monk doesn’t want anything. All he wants is for you to bring a ssage back.”
Li Xuan asked curiously, “What is it?”
Fangzheng whispered a few words. Li Xuan first wore a look of surprise before he was overjoyed. Following that, he said bitterly, “Abbot Fangzheng, I would definitely call anyone who tells that a lunatic, but since it’s said by you, I can’t guarantee anything. All I can do is pass the exact ssage. As for whether it will work or not, it depends on the higher-ups.”
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. “Thank you, Patron. This Penniless Monk believes that they will be happy to see this result...”
Li Xuan nodded. After morizing Fangzheng’s number, he got up and left.
After Li Xuan left, Fangzheng felt a lot more relaxed.
After a while, Fangzheng pulled Red Boy over and asked, “How much is the incense money?”
Red Boy’s eyes turned into crescents when he heard the ntion of money. He chuckled and said, “Lots! A boss threw wads of cash at Salted Fish. Salted Fish nearly fainted... If it wasn’t for the fact that he’s afraid of you beating him up, he would have left with him.”
Fangzheng smiled. “This useless Jingzhi. Leaving with just that bit of money... However, you can ask around. If soone offers a suitable price, sell him.”
“Master! I protest! Here I am being slapped with money, and there you are discussing about selling in the backyard!” Salted Fish shouted indignantly.
Fangzheng smiled awkwardly. “I was just joking. Look, the heavens didn’t even strike .”
Salted Fish looked up at the sky and indeed, there wasn’t any lightning falling. He pursed his lips and said, “You passed... Master, I need to drink so water. Sitting here feels like a live target.”
With that said, Salted Fish ran to drink water...
Fangzheng hid in the backyard. From ti to ti, he would sneak out to take a look at the front yard. Seeing the increasing amount of money, Fangzheng also bead.
Before long, Fangzheng’s cell phone rang. Fangzheng took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
