Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Robbing To Mitigate Your Sin
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The middle-aged driver alone could not stop these people.
A few middle-aged women with waistlines as thick as buckets pulled the middle-aged driver to the side.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the rabbit cages were moved to the ground.
The middle-aged driver sat on the ground, saying that he would call the police to arrest these people.
“Master Purdue, there are more than ten rabbits who can’t hold on anymore…” Sister Wang said it with a sad expression.
“Amitabha.”
[Merciful Flight Purdue] heaved a long sigh and said compassionately, “The dead have passed, so let’s find a place to bury them. Tomorrow, I will recite the scriptures to help them cross over to the afterlife.”
“Everyone, please work harder. Rescue the remaining rabbits as soon as possible and place them in the nursing garden behind the temple.”
“We’ll choose an auspicious time to set them free.”
With that, [Merciful Flight Purdue] walked to the teary middle-aged driver and reached out his hand. “Don’t cry, good sir. I and all the other kind people are doing this to save the common people and to save you.”
“I will dispel the evil aura of the world.”
“Please forgive me if I did anything wrong.”
“As for the rabbits you were transporting, we are not robbing them. We are protecting them.”
“As long as you have the necessary invoices, we will buy them at the original price.”
Hearing this, the driver immediately stood up and asked, “Are you really willing to buy it at the original price?”
“Amitabha,” said [Merciful Flight Purdue], “we are doing good deeds. What’s the difference between robbing and charity if we aren’t paying?”
“Hurry up and get the documents. We never do unreasonable things.”
“We would rather suffer than let others suffer.”
“We’ll give you the money for these rabbits.”
Hearing this, the driver wiped the tears off his face and climbed back into his seat.
A moment later, he got out again.
There were a few more documents in his hand.
“Dr. Chen, and chat, did you see it?”
“The good deeds of [Merciful Flight Purdue] have never hurt anyone.”
“Everyone was just anxious earlier because they were worried that the rabbit would not be able to hold on and die in their cages.”
“That’s why we were a little reckless.”
“Actually, we’re all good people. Everyone has a heart as good as gold.”
Ah Hui took the opportunity to start promoting their version of Buddhism.
All living beings should be saved and treated equally.
The attitude of the viewers changed.
Some viewers sneered and scoffed.
Based on what they had done just now, it would not be an exaggeration to say these volunteers were bandits.
Even if they wanted to buy the rabbits, they had to get the driver’s approval.
Yet, they rushed into the truck and took the rabbit away without prior agreement.
Was this a good deed? Was this a heart as good as gold?
On the other hand, some viewers felt that it was not unforgivable.
As long as the driver did not suffer any losses, his previous recklessness was not unforgivable.
“Everything that [Merciful Flight Purdue] did was in line with Buddhism and his compassionate heart.”
“We volunteers are not lunatics, nor are we criminals who disrupt social order.”
“On the contrary, there are so many businesses in the world that the driver can do, but he insists on doing something that is immoral.”
“[Merciful Flight Purdue] brought us here out of compassion to save the rabbits and, at the same time, help the driver alleviate his sins.”
A few volunteers standing behind Ah Hui applauded her speech.
What they did was something they assumed was a good deed.
Even if countless people didn’t understand them, they would still persist.
Chen Yu looked at the scene before him with a smile that was not a smile, as if he were staying out of it.
At this moment, a scream was heard from the livestream.
“Are the rabbits in your truck made of gold or silver?” Sister Wang demanded with an exaggerated expression. “You want 300,000 yuan from us?”
Hearing the price of 300,000 yuan, Ah Hui came to the front with her phone.
The viewers saw the documents in [Merciful Flight Purdue]’s hands through their phone cameras.
They were the purchase receipt, payment receipt, and other invoices.
On the payment receipt, it was written that these rabbits were high-quality foreign breeds.
The unit price was 300 yuan, and the quantity was 1,000.
A total of 300,000 yuan.
“You think it’s expensive? I think it’s expensive too.”
“There’s no other way. These are all high-grade rabbits, with the import price already high.”
“Life is getting better and better, and the middle class has become picky. They don’t eat ordinary rabbit meat anymore, only this kind of imported, high-quality rabbit meat.”
“What can I do when the purchase price is already this high?”
“I can only earn some middle-man fee by selling a truck of rabbits.”
“If some of them die along the way, not only will I not be able to earn a single cent, but I will have to pay for it.”
The middle-aged driver glared at Sister Wang.
“Since you want to do charity and set these rabbits free, then pay up.”
“This is extortion!” Sister Wang snarled. “No matter how expensive a rabbit is, it’s still a rabbit. It’s impossible for it to cost 300 yuan each.”
“Sister Wang, don’t waste your breath on him. Let’s just give him 100,000 yuan.”
“100,000 yuan is enough to buy your truck of rabbits. Don’t be ungrateful.”
“We are buying these rabbits from you to plant fruits of virtue. You can also benefit from them.”
“Everyone, don’t stand around. Quickly send these rabbits to the nursing garden behind the temple.”
Hearing that the crowd was about to move the rabbits away, the middle-aged driver suddenly found the courage to push away the people blocking his way and rush to the rabbit cages.
He bent down and grabbed a fist-sized stone, gritting his teeth as he shouted at the crowd not to approach.
“These rabbits are my life! If you dare to snatch them away, I’ll fight you to the death!!!”
“300,000 yuan. No less, not a single cent less!”
“In order to buy these rabbits, I have to mortgage my house to the bank. If you only give me 100,000 yuan, 1 will lose everything!”
“Not only will I not be able to pay the bank loan, but I will also not be able to pay for my parents’ medical fees and my daughter’s milk powder.”
“If you want to force me to death, I’ll fight you to death first.”
The middle-aged driver looked like he wanted to live and die with the rabbits.
Then, he talked about the situation at home.
He had elders and children in his family, and the whole family depended on him to support them.
100,000 yuan wasn’t even enough for the purchase price.
“All living beings suffer and are bound by worldly matters. Amitabha.”
[Merciful Flight Purdue] walked forward and said, “Good sir, put down the stone in your hand first.”
“To be honest, we only prepared 100,000 this time.”
“I didn’t expect the price of these rabbits to be this expensive. I wonder if you can lower the price appropriately on the account that all living beings are equal.”
“Buddha once said that it’s convenient for others to make things convenient for oneself. What do you think, good sir?”
The middle-aged driver was stunned.
“Everyone, stop arguing.”
[Merciful Flight Purdue] looked at the driver deeply, turned around, and said, “Everyone, listen to me.”
“Every family has their own difficulties. Although this good sir has done evil deeds and committed murder, it was for the sake of his family.”
“Buddha is merciful. There is no one in the world who cannot be saved, and there is no one who cannot be forgiven.”
“We saved these poor rabbits and then set them free to accumulate merit for ourselves.”
“However, if it causes trouble in the lives of others because of this, it won’t be good.”
“Everyone, don’t you think this is reasonable?”
[Merciful Flight Purdue] asked..
