Chapter 265
"You deserve something for saving Sun Mengmeng . There is quite a lot of merit regarding this matter . It's still possible to draw . However, you later transmitted the image of the human traffickers to Lu Liang . The case isn't over and there will be results in the future . If those human traffickers are caught and the children rescued, the merit will merge with what happened today . If you chose to draw, that means you are take the initiative to admit that the matter is over . As a result, the subsequent merit will have nothing to do with you," answered the System leisurely .
Fangzheng was stunned . He never expected that to be the case! Fangzheng felt that no matter how he dissected what the System said, he was being scammed! It was clearly not giving him the option of letting him draw! With such great benefits in the near future dangling before him, only an idiot would draw now!
Although he kept criticizing deep down, Fangzheng gave up on the draw .
After returning to the mountaintop, Fangzheng caught a whiff of fragrance before he entered the monastery . It was the fragrance of bamboo!
"These two rascals . They were feasting while I was out risking my life to save others?!" Fangzheng was incensed .
Lone Wolf exclaimed, "It's completely unfair! It's unlawful! Abbot, you have to teach the two of them a lesson!"
"They? Other than Monkey, is there anyone else there?" Squirrel suddenly popped his head out from Fangzheng's clothes .
Fangzheng was surprised . Only then did he recall that Squirrel had joined them . Squirrel had done nothing the entire time . . . "Squirrel, what have you been doing all this time?"
"I went with the two of you to save Mengmeng? However, the both of you ran too fast and I couldn't stand on your shoulder . I hid inside your clothes to hide from the wind . It was warm, comfortable and snug, so I fell asleep . . . " Squirrel's voice turned softer as he reached the latter half of the sentence . His tiny paws were playing with each other, he was clearly embarrassed . . .
Fangzheng was rendered speechless . The little guy even acted bashful . But indeed, he would have been more suited to stay at home!
After entering through the main door and into the backyard, he saw Monkey sitting in a chair, one leg raised over the other as he peeled the bamboo shoots . There was a hoe not far away from him and in a box, there were a bunch of them that had not yet been peeled . There were peeled bamboo shoots placed to the side . However, the bamboo shoots were missing something . . .
Monkey finished peeling one . Then, he snapped off a piece and threw it in his mouth . It tasted fabulous . Fangzheng now understood why the bamboo shoots were incomplete .
Monkey jumped in fright upon hearing noise . When he saw that it was Fangzheng and company, he ran over . "Abbot Fangzheng, did you save her? Also, I'm preparing lunch for all of you . Look at all I've done!"
Fangzheng patted Monkey on the head, "Not bad . The table is still broken and has not yet been fixed . Return the hoe and while there, go to Sun Qiancheng's house to borrow a hammer and a few nails . Er . . . Forget the hammer, the nails are more important . "
Monkey did not think much of it as he ran off . He did not see that in the monastery behind him, three heads—a bald head, a dog's head, and a squirrel head, one above the other—stretched out . They watched Monkey run until he disappeared from their sights before grinning .
Fangzheng smiled, "Alright, the one that did not do any work has gone down the mountain . It's time to have a celebratory feast! Let's begin!"
Hence, the trio ran into the backyard and picked up the bamboo shoots . They wiped them clean and began munching . They tasted fragrant and sweet . The more they ate, the more they wanted . It was addictive . . . Fangzheng gave Sun Qiancheng a call, informing him about the nails . Since he had found his daughter, a few nails was fair to ask right?
They enjoyed wolfing down the bamboo shoots but as Monkey was not human, he only took half an hour for a return trip unlike a human who would take more than an hour just to climb up the mountain .
