Chapter 207: A kind-hearted person? The tool finally worked.

"Da Mai, are you ready?" Chen An strode into the dining hall, looked at Da Mai who was sitting there leisurely drinking tea, and asked with a smile.

Da Mai smiled and responded, "It's all done, Brother Xiaowu, do you want to take a look?"

"No, I have great faith in your ability..." Chen An said, then he picked up the teacup and took a sip. He couldn't help but sighed, "I have to say, Comrade Ma is amazing in this regard." Then, he couldn't help but joked, "Master Ma, I'm told you can't forget your teapot wherever you go."

"Xiao Chen, these are the utensils for eating. You must carry them with you." Uncle Ma smiled heartily, his face filled with joy. It can be seen that he was in a very good mood.

Chen An looked at the watch on his wrist and suggested, "When we are done, let's pack up and go back. After all, it will take quite some time to get down the mountain."

"Xiao An, you are not planning to go down the mountain, are you?" Xu Hongdou asked with eyes wide open and a look of disbelief on her face.

"What else can I do? We don't know when we'll come next time. If we don't walk to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the cable car ourselves, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?" Chen An's eyes were full of anticipation and determination.

"As the saying goes, it's easier to go up the mountain than to go down. I'm fine, but I don't know about the two ladies?" In fact, this was exactly what Master Ma meant. Naturally, he would not object to Chen An's suggestion. He looked at Xu Hongdou and Damai with a questioning look in his eyes.

Xu Hongdou turned to look at Damai and asked for her opinion.

Barley's eyes were gleaming with eagerness, and he said excitedly: "I, I'm fine, but I'm worried about being a hindrance..."

Xu Hongdou waved her hand proudly and said with a smile: "All votes passed, pack your bags and set off..."

"Wait a minute, Hongdou, I'm going to go over there to see the cat and say goodbye..."

"Then I'll go too. Xiao An, Ma Ye, you guys pack up..." Xu Hongdou took Da Mai's hand and went out, not forgetting to turn back and give them instructions.

Ten minutes later, on the way down the mountain, Da Mai was showing her shooting results today with great interest, "Brother Xiao Wu, next time you go out, you must bring Xiao Mai with you, otherwise it will be too boring for it to stay in the room alone."

"This is just reminding me of something bad. Didn't you often stay alone in your room every day before?" Chen An teased with a smile.

"It's different, I can read books, play with my phone and use the computer, but it can't do those things." Da Mai pouted and explained seriously.

"Da Mai, I just checked, there are forty-six cats in total, and the cats in the temple are all very docile." Chen An said with a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Hongdou looked at Chen An with dissatisfaction, frowning slightly, thinking that this guy was laughing at her for being boring.

"No, you two don't think that the temple keeps so many cats just to eat and do nothing, do you?" Chen An raised the corners of his mouth, with a hint of mystery in his eyes.

Master Ma laughed and said, "I know this. The so-called bodhisattva's heart and thunderbolt means are nothing more than this."

"Master Ma, I'll leave it to you to educate them. Things are not as simple as they seem." Chen An patted Master Ma's shoulder and said with a smile.

Ma Ye cleared his throat and explained with a smile, "The number of rats in the world far exceeds that of humans. They are rarely seen in cities because rats are timid and do not dare to go out during the day when there are many people. They live in dark and humid places. But in the deep mountains and old forests, rats do not have these concerns."

"The monks in the temples are forbidden to kill, but the rats reproduce at an incredibly fast rate. If we don't stop them, not only will the food be stolen, but the buildings will be eroded by rats. To a certain extent, it will even disturb tourists and affect the incense..."

"Think about it, it feels warm when you enter a temple and see a group of cats lying there, but what if the yard is full of mice?"

Xu Hongdou and Damai suddenly realized and said, "So the fundamental purpose of temples keeping cats is to prevent rats?"

“On the one hand, adopting stray cats shows one’s kindness, and on the other hand, it can be used as an opportunity to remedy the rat infestation and demonstrate one’s drastic measures. It’s three birds with one stone.” Master Ma put his hands behind his back and nodded slightly.

Xu Hongdou nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that many things cannot be judged on the surface alone. There are often deeper reasons and considerations behind them."

Barley also agreed: "Indeed, just like the things we usually think are simple or take for granted, in fact, there may be unknown truths."

Master Ma smiled bitterly and looked at Chen An, "Little Brother Chen, I think you should have made it clear what your purpose was in throwing out this idea, right?"

"Master Ma is indeed an old hand." Chen An touched his nose awkwardly. Seeing Hongdou and Damai looking at him, Chen An had to explain, "Kindness is a virtue and a very good quality, but it should not become our own weakness. The road ahead cannot be smooth sailing, so when others take advantage of your kindness, it is crucial to strike back with thunderbolt means."

Xu Hongdou reacted and couldn't help but look at Chen An. This stinky little brother was reminding her that even making short videos is not always smooth sailing. Her weaknesses are actually quite obvious. This guy should just say it directly, instead of taking advantage of the issue to make a fuss.

Da Mai thought about his previous helplessness against those black fans and thought about Brother Xiaowu's method. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Was he too kind, so those people ridiculed and laughed at him unscrupulously?

As for Ma Ye, it goes without saying that he was once limited by his own morality and kindness, which led to all the people who took advantage of him when he failed. Even his fellow villagers and friends who he once took special care of were also trying to gain connections with him. Their purpose of using connections was not to help him out of the predicament, but just to hope that he would pay them back first. It was ironic to think about it.

In the small restaurant, after a busy afternoon, they finally had a break. Xie Xiaochun observed Nana for a long time and always felt that she was not in good shape today. Now that he had time, he lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong? Is it because Xiao Chen and the others went out to play?"

Nana shook her head and smiled, "No, I've been there once before..."

"So what's going on with you? You had several problems at noon, and you were distracted?"

Nana hesitated for a moment, "Can you tell me what happened to Xiaochun in the hot pot restaurant that day?"

Xie Xiaochun was a little surprised. He didn't know who told Nana about this. He hesitated and asked tentatively, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

Nana sighed, "Two beautiful ladies came to see Xiao Chen today. One of them is very pretty, no less beautiful than Hongdou."

Xie Xiaochun looked extremely surprised. Seeing Nana's expression, he comforted her, "Nana, you don't have to worry too much about it. When I saw Xiao Chen that day, I just threw his phone number away. He is not interested in those two women. Besides, as the most beautiful girl in the restaurant, you have to be more confident."

Nana looked at Xie Xiaochun with an indescribably complicated expression, "I know all this, Xiao Chen told me, but it's easy for a girl to chase a boy."

Seeing Nana's look, Xie Xiaochun finally realized what was going on. His confidence was frustrated, but it was normal when he thought about it. After all, let alone Nana, even Hongdou's reaction at that time was very wrong. It was obviously a posture of defending against the enemy.

After thinking it over, Xie Xiaochun decided to tell Nana what Xiao Chen had told him that day, so that she wouldn't be in this situation now.

"Nana, listen to me..."

Nana's originally depressed face changed from confusion to astonishment after hearing Xie Xiaochun's words. Her brows frowned from time to time. Thinking about everything that happened after she met Chen An, her expression gradually became ambiguous and her eyes became a little red.

Xie Xiaochun was not a person who could keep things to himself, so he felt much better after he said it out. However, looking at Nana's expression, the curiosity that was originally on the tip of his tongue was suppressed back into his stomach.

Nana thought about the causes and consequences of everything and suddenly realized that Xiao Chen must know her identity. She now wanted to find Chen An immediately to find out.

"Nana, are you okay?"

Nana couldn't help but smile sweetly, "Xiaochun, thank you for telling me so much. I'm fine now, don't worry about me."
