Chapter 87 Begging with Style (2/2)
Seeing the two of them disappear at the intersection, Hao Ning shook his head. This Bodhisattva, Zhang Chihang, really did not have the benevolence in legends. He was not a good figure who enlightened people, but a guardian warrior that gave severe warnings. After thinking for a while, he felt that it might be another way of enlightenment. Just as he was about to step forward and greet them, he heard a ”beep” sound, and an electric motorcar sped past him and Zhang Chihang. The electric motorcar drove very quickly, but due to the warning ahead, Hao Ning was not scared. He turned around and saw a take-out deliverer whose back was clear to see.
As it was going downhill, the electric motorcar rode too fast, and the deliverer didn't notice the brick on the road in front of him. Hao Ning wanted to remind him, but it was too late. The brick was uneven and a little tilted. After the motorcar reached upon it, it immediately bounced up and smashed into the deliverer's face, causing him to flip over the motorcar, and the motorcar also fell onto his leg with a thump.
”Ouch!” When Zhou Yuan saw it, he immediately ran over to look. Hao Ning also quickly followed, ”are you OK?”
The brick had already smashed the deliverer's glasses on his face, and there were a few wounds on his face from which blood flowed down, but the deliverer did not care about that. Instead, he immediately took out his phone to check if it was broken, and then turned to look at his motorcar, only to realize that his legs were being pressed down by the electric motorcar. He forced a smile at Hao Ning and Zhou Yuan while enduring the pain, and said anxiously, ”Hey bro, could you help me lift the motorcar?”
”All right. Don't move!” Zhou Yuan immediately responded and lifted the motorcar together with Hao Ning.
The motorcar was quickly lifted, and then Zhou Yuan immediately helped the little brother up, ”Are you OK?”
Hao Ning also pointed to the nearby No.6 Hospital and asked the deliverer, ”Do you need us to take you to the hospital?”
”No, I'm fine. There's no need to go there. ”The deliverer smiled and said to Zhou Yuan, as he jumped in front of the motorcar and opened the trunk. There were all food juice spilling and shaking within it, red or yellow.
When the deliverer saw this, his previously smiling face immediately turned into a crying one. As he cried, he wiped his face, and tears on his face mixed with the blood. ”Oh my God. What should I do? It's all mixed up like this. The customers will give me bad ratings. It's too late to go back to the restaurants to remake these dishes. God! What should I do? ”
The deliverer was injured more severely than the woman, but he did not cry. He did not complain when his face was injured, or his leg was pressed down, but he cried when he saw the food spilling in the trunk. Hao Ning couldn't help but feel sad. The price of the food in the trunk added up to less than 100 yuan, but it still made it difficult for this young man.
This was not a matter of money, but rather the negative ratings that customers would give to this young deliverer for his late. Hao Ning had some understanding of this aspect. If a take-out deliverer got a negative score, it would be equivalent for him working for days in vain.
”Who said it is spilled. It's fine. You didn't see it?” Zhou Yuan suddenly said to the deliverer and handed over a tissue, ”Your eyes are clouded by blood just now. Wipe your eyes, and you will see everything is fine.”
”Really?” The young man took the tissue and wiped his face, then looked at the trunk and found the food and soup inside was wonderful and obediently stayed in the trunk. ”What? How could this be possible? I just had a bad fall. It must be Bodhisattva's blessing! My mom told me that this jade Avalokiteshvara statue would work!” The deliverer took out an Avalokiteshvara statue from his neck, placed it on his chest and bowed to it. Hao Ning took a glance and knew that it was fake. It was not made of jade, but plastic instead.
”Bodhisattva is on your side,” Hao Ning sneaked a glance at Zhang Chihang who did not smile but slowly walked over. He muttered in his heart, ”But with his temper, I don't think he will bless you.”
After experiencing this, no matter how foolish Hao Ning was, he knew that this ”moment god” in front of him had used his talent to ”change” the deliverers' dishes to the original state. Since the deliverer had stopped crying, Hao Ning did not say anything more.
”Good luck~ Good luck ~” The little brother's phone rang. When he saw the number, he quickly picked it up, ”Hello, who is it?”
”Who is what?” The person on the other end of the line was very impolite, ”The meal I've ordered should have arrived at 11: 55, now it's 12. Why hasn't it arrived yet?”
”I'm sorry.” The young man hurriedly bowed and apologized with an apologetic smile, as if the customer was right in front of him, ”There were some problems on the way. Please wait for a moment. I will be there soon.”
As he said that, the deliverer hurriedly held the phone with his shoulder and closed the trunk in a fluster. Then he jumped onto the front of the motorcar and prepared to leave.
”No need! I'll file a complaint against you! ”The phone was immediately hung up, and the last sentence was, ”You'll get a bad rating!”
”...” The young man's anxious face suddenly turned desperate. He blankly stood on the platform by the road, looking at the hospital in the distance.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately wiped his hands off his clothes. After wiping a few times, he suddenly remembered that the clothes belonged to the company, so he immediately blew off the traces on the clothes, and then opened his zipper, pulled out his clothes, rubbed his palms onto his clothes until they were clean, and finally used his undergarments to wipe away the marks on his company clothes. Then, he took out the plastic Avalokiteshvara statue from his neck and placed it on his palms, and closed his eyes devoutly as he muttered something. The young man trembled as he read it. Tears flowed silently from the corners of his eyes.
”Stop reciting,” Zhang Chihang walked over and said to the little brother while beaming. ”That guy is wrong about reading his watch, did you? It's 11 o'clock, not 12. ”
When Hao Ning heard the voice, he turned his head back, and seemed to see a small figure of the Thousand Hands Thousand Eyes Avalokiteshvara behind Zhang Chihang that flashed past, and then disappeared.
”How is this possible?” After the deliverer heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Chihang, ”When I just came out of the restaurant, it was already, what? Why is it still eleven?” The young man glanced at the electronic watch in his hand. It displayed 11!
”Did you turn the time back for an hour?” Hao Ning also looked at the time on his phone, and knew that this Bodhisattva had ”revealed his mana”. Other than him, who else could have the ability to control time?
”Don't think so much, lad,” Zhang Chihang patted the deliverer's shoulders lightly, ”Work is important, hurry up and go!”
”Bro, you're such a nice person!” The deliverer stood up and bowed towards Zhang Chihang. Hao Ning rolled his eyes inside, thinking that the deliverer would have to swallow his words if he saw the way Zhang Chihang scolded a person just now.
”Bodhisattva will bless you. Ah? My leg doesn't hurt anymore? My mother is right! This Bodhisattva is spiritual! Brother, you are also a good person, Bodhisattva will protect you! ” As he spoke, he quickly jumped onto the electric motorcar and drove away.
”Hello, Mr. Zhang.” Seeing the little brother ride further away, Hao Ning then greeted Zhang Chihang, ”You only changed his time …” Hao Ning was clear-minded. Zhang Chihang changed the deliverer's time only, not the customer, so he would still be complained as he arrived there.
”What are you talking about? I don't understand. ” Zhang Chihang laughed, ”The entire country is now at 11, I already said that all of you got it wrong.”
”Shit...” Hao Ning looked at the clock on the tall building which was indeed 11 o'clock. It seemed that this Bodhisattva either hid his mana or showed a great one. He even changed the time of the entire country. He concealed his abilities so deeply. Then, thinking back to how Zhang Chihang treated that woman and his ”judgment”, he could not help but tremble, ”Mr. Zhang, will you make that woman unable to reincarnate?”
”You mean the thing that the woman suffers a horrible death?” Zhang Chihang looked at Zhou Yuan with a plausible smile, and then looked at Hao Ning, ”She has her fate in her hands. I cannot control it. I was speaking high.”
”Damn... A monk should watch his words.” Hao Ning was speechless at this Bodhisattva's casual attitude, so he did not hesitate to change the topic. ”Mr. Zhang, why are you also sick?”
”Sick?” Zhang Chihang looked at Hao Ning. He thought for a while and laughed, ”Right, I'm sick. Achoo, Achoo!”
Only then did he seem to remember that he was sick, so he started to sneeze as he told Xiao Hong, ”Let's go to the hospital now. Otherwise, it'll be too late.” As he said that, he hurriedly headed to the hospital. Xiao Hong quickly helped Zhang Chihang by wiping his mucus on his nose and told Hao Ning, ”Hao Ning, we'll see you at the hospital in a while.”
”What the hell is this Bodhisattva doing?” Hao Ning watched as the two of them walked further and further away. Zhang Chihang's sickness did not look fake, but why he said ”Right, I'm sick” And what did he mean ”or it'll be too late.” They had never heard of a Bodhisattva getting cold, and looking at Xiao Hong's expression, Zhang Chihang's condition should not be a big deal. The two not only didn't seem nervous, but they were also actually a little happy.
