Salted Fish said, "Master, you have been feeling very melancholic these few days."
"Yea…"
The two fell silent once again. As the night deepened, the street lamps turned dim. Fangzheng walked alone on the streets, making the buildings appear lonely… From time to time, he would look at the stars in the sky. The loneliness in his eyes suddenly dissipated. Fangzheng mumbled, "No matter what people say, I believe that they are looking at me."
Salted Fish was baffled. They? Who are they? Zen Master One Finger? Or was it Fangzheng's parents?
After walking for a long time…
"Master…" Salted Fish suddenly said.
Fangzheng said weakly, "Speak."
Salted Fish said, "Master, let's return to the mountain."
Fangzheng said in surprise, "Don't you like being off the mountain?"
