Chapter 366: 366
Meanwhile Lone Wolf did not have hands, and his paws were not the most adequate tool for the task at hand . People found it disgusting if he used his mouth, so this fellow who usually carried a basket was no longer required . Since he had nothing better to do, he ran around to search for mushrooms before getting Monkey or Red Boy to pluck them . Of course, he could get Squirrel to help when he found smaller ones, and as for bigger ones…
Therefore…
"Master, it's odd . There are many mushrooms that seem like they aren't growing in the ground behind us . Each is prettier than the other," Lone Wolf suddenly popped up and said .
Fangzheng blushed . He couldn't tell him that he was the one who had thrown those away, right? But who was to eat them after they were picked up? He did not wish to waste the power of another meditation bead!
At that moment Red Boy shouted, "Senior Brother Jingfa, those mushrooms aren't delicious . Anyway, I don't like them . I suffer from allergies if I eat too many of them . This is something Master knows about, so we can only throw them away . "
Squirrel immediately ran over when he heard the word 'throw . ' He grabbed Fangzheng's leg and climbed into the basket . He burrowed his head into the pile of mushrooms and rummaged all day before popping his tiny head out . He lamented . "Was my super huge mushroom thrown too!? Master, if the both of you aren't eating them, can't I eat them?"
Monkey ran over as well and found that a few of the mushrooms he had picked were gone . He added . "My beautiful mushrooms are gone too . Master, you can leave those for me if you don't eat them . "
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng really regretted having to continue plucking the mushrooms . Wasn't this just giving himself more trouble!? At the same time, he secretly cursed Red Boy for being the worst kind of teammate . Lone Wolf, Squirrel, and Monkey did not understand each other . Even if Lone Wolf discovered something, Squirrel and Monkey would not understand what he said . It should have been easy to sweep the matter under the rug .
But with Red Boy speaking without a thought, his words were understandable to Squirrel and Monkey! Wasn't this just piling on more trouble for no reason? Since it was Red Boy's fault, Fangzheng scoundrelly relegated the entire problem to Red Boy . He put down the basket and said, "Jingxin, I'll leave the matters here to you . Pick the things you want to eat . This Penniless Monk just recalled that something needs to be done . Bye for now . "
With that said, Fangzheng immediately took wide strides and escaped .
The naive Monkey and Squirrel immediately turned their fiery sights on Red Boy . Red Boy was dumbfounded . He had just felt deeply grateful for Fangzheng's kindness, but in a blink of an eye, he was being betrayed? This master he got for nothing was just too good at betrayal, wasn't he?
At night, Fangzheng sighed together with Red Boy as they looked at the basket of colorful mushrooms .
Squirrel and Monkey were afraid their mushrooms would be thrown out again, so they refused to leave the kitchen!
Helplessly Fangzheng could only boil two pots of mushroom soup . One pot was filled with ordinary mushrooms, and the other pot was filled with water . However he later used A Golden Millet Dream to make Squirrel and Monkey hallucinate, making them believe that their mushrooms were done . When they drank the soup, they found it tasteless . They cursed at how the mushrooms only looked pretty but tasted horrendous . They swore never to eat them again .
Lone Wolf did not care about them and drank the soup in his bowl . His head was stuffed right inside the bowl, having the time of his life drinking .
When Squirrel and Monkey saw this, they immediately tried the real mushroom soup and could not help themselves from gulping the soup down . Unfortunately Squirrel was only so large . After he desperately drank two ladles, he lay on the ground clasping his stomach, unable to move again . He mumbled, "It's so delicious . "
Fangzheng and Red Boy exchanged a smile and did not say a word . They were secretly amused .
Days passed and soon, May was almost over .
