In the Qiuxiang Vegetarian Restaurant, everyone heard the middle-aged man's story, and probably understood the business form of the owner of the vegetarian restaurant.

It can be said that the two old ladies did not have bad intentions, and they used their own stores to open a charity restaurant and provide many migrant workers with a large number of dishes, which in itself has a good starting point.

It's no wonder that so many volunteers take turns to come here to help, first of all, everyone is working with a charity attitude.

Therefore, Qiuxiang vegetarian restaurant, just with its simple decoration, can win the popularity of many customers.

There are not only migrant workers who have just gotten off work, but also taxi drivers, courier boys, and shopping mall salesmen.

Not only that, but at the restaurant cash register, there is also a huge donation box.

As can be seen through the transparent glass, all the change added up is obviously one or two thousand.

"It looks delicious. Lu Weiwei smashed her mouth, pointed to the cooking window and said: "These vegetables look quite fresh, why don't I go to the dishes?" ”

"Then I'll go with Senior Sister Lu. Yuan Shasha also recommended herself.

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll find a place with Senior Brother Wang and sit down first, just there." ”

Gu Chen pointed to a corner by the window.

"Okay, Xiao Yuan, let's go. Lu Weiwei nodded in agreement, and then led Yuan Shasha straight to the food window.

It didn't take long for the four vegetarian set meals to be served on the table.

"Senior Brother Gu, look at these dishes, they are really rich in categories, I originally thought that I couldn't eat too many good dishes for 6 yuan, it seems that I was wrong, they are really doing charity. ”

Listening to Lu Weiwei's introduction, Gu Chen used chopsticks to remove the dishes on the plate, and found that there were all kinds of home-cooked vegetables.

Lu Weiwei beat seven or eight kinds of vegetables at one time.

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment: "With such a way of eating, this boss won't go bankrupt, right?"

"Probably not, people are also doing charity, the big deal is to go to the merit box to donate some money later, just make up for the meal. Lu Weiwei's thoughts are still very simple.

Yuan Shasha also said: "Yes, anyway, we don't take advantage of others, it's a big deal to donate some money." ”

Seeing that there were so many rules for several people to eat, Officer Wang couldn't help but complain: "It's true that people do charity, but sometimes they do a little bit of charity. ”

"Lao Wang. Lu Weiwei glanced at him and hurriedly reminded: "Okay, let's talk about this after eating first." ”

"Yes. Yuan Shasha also agreed.

Officer Wang snorted coldly, didn't speak, and directly used chopsticks to flick the materials.

But when he took the first bite, Officer Wang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Well, what is this a vegetarian dish? Zhen Nima is delicious, 6 yuan is simply too worthwhile, I will have to refill the dishes later." ”

Looking at Officer Wang's smashing his mouth and gobbling up, Lu Weiwei said with disgust: "It's really terrible that this is uneducated, I can't say a few words of praise for delicious dishes, and my mouth is foul." ”

Yuan Shasha didn't say anything, just covered her mouth and snickered on the side.

I feel that Officer Wang's appearance of eating is too interesting.

Then Yuan Shasha set her eyes on Gu Chen's body again.

However, unlike Officer Wang's gobbling up, Gu Chen sat upright when he ate, although he ate quickly, but Gu Chen took a bite and never smashed his mouth, and he looked very quiet when he ate.

Yuan Shasha even suspected that Officer Wang might have been sent by God to foil Gu Chen.

When everyone was only halfway through their meal, Officer Wang had already gone with an empty plate to refill the dishes.

After coming back, he devoured again, couldn't help but glance at the three people around him, and asked with a mouth full of food: "Aren't you hungry?

Seeing that Officer Wang looked ugly, Lu Weiwei was also angry and said: "I said Lao Wang, just because we can renew the dish doesn't mean that we have to refill the dish, this one is enough to eat, and I haven't seen you eat so much." ”

"Haha, that's right, maybe it's because the food is too delicious. Officer Wang saw that there were very few people around him who continued to eat, and he was also a little embarrassed for a while.

Gu Chen said: "Yes, her family's food is really delicious." ”

Officer Wang patted Gu Chen, and then pouted his chin at Lu Weiwei: "How is it? Everyone Gu Chen said that it was delicious, but if it was delicious, I couldn't eat more? I won't be fined if I don't have any leftovers, everything is within the rules." ”

"Boom. Lu Weiwei rolled her eyes and continued to bury her head in eating.

At this moment, a monk wearing a monk's robe walked into the store after looking left and right at the door.

When a clerk found out, he hurriedly stepped forward to the Buddha: "Master Xingyun, haven't you had dinner yet?"

"Not yet. The monk named Master Xingyun couldn't help but smile.

"Then hurry up, find a vacant seat and sit down first, and I'll serve you the food." "The clerk seems to be a little familiar with the monk called Master Xingyun.

However, after looking left and right, I realized that it was the peak dining season at this moment, and the tables in the store were already well connected.

But when the clerk looked in the direction of Gu Chen, he found that there was still a vacant seat in the seat next to Gu Chen.

So he hurriedly beckoned Monk Xingyun to go to the corner: "Master Xingyun, you sit here, squeeze with these people, there are no extra vacant seats now, are you sorry." ”

"It doesn't matter. Monk Xingyun said, and took out a 10 yuan folded note from his pocket.

The clerk looked at it, and immediately frowned: "Master Xingyun, what do you mean? You come here to eat, it is the honor of our Qiuxiang vegetarian restaurant, how can I accept your money? If the boss knows, maybe I will say that I have lost my money." ”

"Huh. Monk Xingyun shook his head and said, "Everything must have rules, the so-called no rules are not a circle, as a Buddhist disciple, you must keep it in mind." ”

He glanced at the merit box on the cash register, and immediately said with a smile: "6 yuan is the meal fee, 4 yuan is the donation, a total of 10 yuan." ”

Speaking of this, Monk Xingyun presented a 10 yuan bill with both hands.

The female clerk couldn't bear Monk Xingyun's insistence, so she nodded and said, "Okay, you sit down first, I'll go and get you food, and by the way, I will inform the boss that they are still shopping in the market." ”

"Well, then there's the Laborer. After Monk Xingyun saluted the female clerk, he turned around and went to the corner.

But when he saw that there were four uniformed policemen sitting in the corner, Monk Xingyun couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly calmed down, nodded slightly at everyone, and then sat next to Gu Chen.

The four of them stared at each other.

Suddenly, a strange monk came, which made the atmosphere seem a little restrained.

Lu Weiwei looked at Monk Xingyun's bald head for the first time, then the robe, and cloth shoes, and then asked, "This master is not a native of Jiangnan City when he hears the accent, right?"

Monk Xingyun nodded silently: "That's right, my hometown is in the north, and I was transferred to the Jiangnan City temple to work." ”

"Can a monk still be transferred?" Yuan Shasha didn't understand these things, and asked weakly.

Monk Xingyun smiled slightly and said indifferently: "This is normal, and the presiding abbot of the temple is often transferred. ”

"Then do you have a high salary?" Lu Weiwei was curious for a moment.

Officer Wang glanced at her, and hurriedly reminded: "People's salaries are equivalent to the level of civil servants, and they have to be linked to incense, do you say it's high?"

"Hehe, it's good, it's good, the monks don't talk about how much money they have, just enough for it. "Monk Xingyun spoke softly and looked kind.

At this moment, the clerk just now quickly brought a material package to Monk Xingyun, and said respectfully this time: "Master Xingyun, I have prepared all the meals you want, you can use them slowly." ”

"Thank you, donor. ”

After the monk Xingyun bowed, he began to eat quietly.

After Gu Chen finished eating with everyone, he didn't leave immediately, mainly because he heard the clerk say that the boss hadn't come back from shopping, so he thought about waiting.

But more than ten minutes have passed......

After Monk Xingyun finished his last bite of food, he picked up the rice grains that had fallen on the table, and then stuffed them into his mouth, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and sit quietly next to Gu Chen.

Lu Weiwei was very curious for a while, and said that we are waiting for the boss to come over to hold them accountable for indiscriminately releasing snakes, but what is this monk doing here with enough food and drink?

I don't know how long it was, but then I heard a motor sound at the door.

Gu Chen looked out of the window, and the two old ladies in the video screen happened to come out of the elderly car.

Later, with the help of the clerk, the two took out a hemp bag from the back seat of the elderly car.

Lu Weiwei hurriedly touched Gu Chen's shoulder, and subconsciously reminded with her eyes: "Senior Brother Gu, sack." ”

"See. Gu Chen replied softly.

At this moment, the Nebula monk who was sitting in meditation also seemed to be passively disturbed.

He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the busy figures of the two old ladies.

Gu Chen didn't think much about it, he waved his hand directly, and everyone picked up the plate with understanding and walked directly to the recycling place.

Under the inspection of the clerk, all the plates were successfully recovered.

But at this time, Gu Chen walked directly towards a short-haired old lady at the cash register and took the initiative to greet her:

"Hello, I'm Gu Chen from the Criminal Investigation Group 3 of the Furong Branch, and I have something I want to know from you. ”

The old lady was stunned and a little confused: "What's the matter?"

Gu Chen looked left and right, afraid of affecting the business of the store, so he proposed: "Find a quiet place to talk about it, and this friend of yours." ”

Gu Chen pointed to another old lady.

Although the short-haired old lady didn't know what to do, she reluctantly agreed: "Okay, let's go and talk later." ”

She glanced at her partner and called, "Autumn fragrance." ”

"What's the matter?" asked the abstract-looking old lady.

"Just come here. The short-haired old lady beckoned, and then led Gu Chen's team to the back.

Everyone walked through a small passage to the back door of the restaurant.

When you open the door, you will find the backyard of the storefront.

After the short-haired old lady saw that the light was turned on, she saw that her sister Qiu Xiang had come over, and then she asked Gu Chen: "Comrade policeman, if you have anything, just say it." ”

"Good. Gu Chen nodded silently, turned on the law enforcement recorder, and then took out the transcript and asked: "At about 6 o'clock this morning, it was you who released snakes by the river in the central park of Dongshan Town, right?"

"Release the snakes?" The short-haired old lady was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded and admitted: "That's right, I released the snakes with my sister, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the two of them still had innocent faces, Officer Wang also laughed angrily: "You don't look at what it is, just fall to this river?"

"Let me tell you, just because you released a large number of snakes in Dongshan Town Central Park today, many tourists are now bitten by snakes, do you know how serious this is?"

"This ...... Why does this still bite people?" The old lady named Qiu Xiang was stunned for a moment, but insisted on her own opinion: "But we are doing a good deed by releasing them? If we don't save these snakes, these snakes are likely to be sold to a big hotel." ”

Gu Chen looked up and asked her, "Where did you snakes come from?"

"Bought at the wet market. Another short-haired aunt said: "When we were shopping in the vegetable market, we found a cart of small snakes for sale, so we went over and asked. ”

"I only knew that someone recently wanted to buy these little snakes into a big restaurant and make them into special dishes. ”

"How pitiful these little snakes are, and they are so cruel to make into a dish, so I discussed with my sisters, and we bought them all. ”

"So...... These released snakes were all bought by you in the vegetable market?" asked Gu Chen.

The old lady named Qiu Xiang nodded: "It's not, and this snake dealer is still sitting on the ground and raising the price, which has cost us a lot of unjust money." ”

Lu Weiwei just wanted to say that she deserves it, who will you pit if you don't pit you?

But looking back and thinking about his identity, he endured it again and asked her indifferently: "So, why did you choose to release animals in Dongshan Town Central Park?"

The short-haired old lady glanced at Lu Weiwei, and when she saw that Lu Weiwei was so young, she also reminded: "Maybe this little girl doesn't know much about release, and she is particular about time and place." ”

"For example, many people who are released will be released en masse on the first day, the fifteenth day of the new year, and the Buddha's Christmas. ”

"It doesn't matter if I can't remember clearly, we have a "Best Release Schedule of the Year", and there is the choice of release location, we have always felt that the river in the central park of Dongshan Town is a release river, where is the release of life if it is not there?"

Seeing that the old lady was reasonable, Lu Weiwei was also angry and said: "But you haven't thought about it? ”

"It's not that serious, little girl, isn't it just a matter of releasing a few snakes? Besides, if you don't mess with it, will it bite you? Snakes are all afraid of people, okay? Besides, we release some small snakes. ”

The short-haired old lady seemed to be strong, which made Lu Weiwei very angry, and she just wanted to reason with the old lady again, but was stopped by Gu Chen.

Gu Chen asked directly: "Let me ask you, are there any poisonous snakes among these snakes you have released?"

"Poisonous snakes? No, how can we release poisonous snakes? It's just some little green snakes, small flower snakes and so on, non-venomous. The short-haired old lady said.

Gu Chen said again: "But you are so arbitrary, have you ever thought about whether these snakes are domesticated or wild? If they are domesticated and not suitable for the wild environment, wouldn't letting these snakes die in the wild?"

"Also, even if it is a wild snake, but the living environment is different, and if you can't adapt to it for a while, it will also cause the snake to die. ”

"Ugh. When Gu Chen said this, the two old ladies were suddenly speechless.

After a while, the old lady named Qiu Xiang said, "It's not so serious, is it? ”

"Whether you have this or not, you don't count. Gu Chen directly adjusted the law enforcement recorder, and said: "Releasing life is a kind of good deed, but now many release behaviors have changed. ”

"You know, protecting endangered life and returning it to nature is a good deed. ”

"But in recent years, especially in the case of animals like yours, they have become more and more formalized and do not follow science. ”

Seeing the two old ladies with their heads down, Gu Chen continued to educate: "The original meaning of life release is to pay for it and release it back to nature when you see that your life is about to be slaughtered and persuasion is ineffective. ”

"This is not only good for the students, but also good for the ecological environment there, and this behavior is worthy of recognition. ”

"But your behavior today did not fully take into account the actual situation on the ground, and even if you want to release the animals, you can't choose to release them in a park with dense circulation?"

"Once the snake arrives in a new environment, it can't adapt to it at all, and this is not the place where they lived. ”

"In order to find a habitat, they can only skewer around, and in order to survive, they will look everywhere for food. ”

"In this way, the range of these snakes expands infinitely around them. ”

"Maybe one day, you are sleeping well, and suddenly a snake crawls on your bed, how do you feel?"

"This ......"

After being taught a lesson by Gu Chen, the two old ladies were stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that what Gu Chen said was very reasonable.

The two of them did have good intentions, but they didn't take into account the actual situation.

So the short-haired old lady asked, "But if we save these snakes, we must also release them." ”

"Then choose the deep mountains and old forests, or places with few people to release them, you just let them go like this, not only let these snakes run around, but also bite people indiscriminately, just today in one day, how many innocent people in Dongshan Town were bitten?"

"I'm like asking you, are you doing good or evil? Is this consistent with your original intention of releasing life?"

"I ...... We didn't know it would be like that. ”

also knew that the two of them released snakes, so they broke into a catastrophe, and the two old ladies were stunned and felt unforgivable.

But at this moment, a man's thoughts came from the back door, and a dark shadow came closer and closer.

"The release of the two old donors, as a kind of kindness, has been practiced in our country since ancient times. ”

Gu Chen turned his head to take a look, only to find that it was the Nebula monk who was sitting beside him before.

I saw him walking slowly with a smile on his face, and he preached in his mouth: "The ideas we advocate for the equality of all beings, abstaining from killing and protecting students, etc., save everyone's support, so the release of life can prevail." ”

"The so-called Buddha, with compassion, practice the karma of releasing life, that is also the truth. ”

Star ...... Master Xingyun?" Seeing that Monk Xingyun came to help him out of the siege, the two old ladies breathed a sigh of relief.

......
