That day, Red Boy's rations were deducted. He lay pitifully in his cradle and counted the wood grains on the ceiling.
Monkey said, "Junior Brother, sleep early."
Red Boy rolled his eyes at Monkey. "Why don't you try sleeping on an empty stomach?"
Monkey said, "Alright, do whatever you want. I'll sleep first."
Red Boy laid there and slowly fell into a daze. Then, he fell asleep.
Red Boy could not sleep, but Fangzheng slept soundly. He had been tired for days and had not slept for days. Now, he did not know anything the moment he closed his eyes. He snored loudly and slept until the next evening!
Fangzheng got up and looked around. The sky had just turned dark as he mumbled. "I thought I slept the entire night. So I only slept for a short while. But why is my stomach hungry? Forget it. It's probably fake hunger. Time to sleep … "
With that said, Fangzheng lay down and continued sleeping.
Outside, Monkey, who had finished cooking, was puzzled. "Master hasn't come out to eat for a day. Could something have happened?"
Red Boy dug his ears and said, "Listen to that snoring. Does it sound like something happened? He probably isn't hungry. Let him sleep. "
The few animals nodded and distributed Fangzheng's portion of the meal.
In the middle of the night, Fangzheng woke up again. He rubbed his belly and mumbled. "I can't take it anymore. I'm too hungry. I can't take it anymore."
Fangzheng was puzzled as well. He did not have the habit of eating supper. Why was he so hungry today? When he ran to the kitchen, Monkey rubbed his eyes and asked, "Master, why are you here?"
Fangzheng said, "I'm hungry. Is there anything else to eat?"
Red Boy peeked his head out and said, "As per Master's teachings, we always lick the bottom of the pot clean, leaving not a single grain of rice. Therefore, Master, if you want to eat, you will have to cook again. "
With that said, Red Boy felt a little smug. How about beating me up the day before yesterday? Isn't this retribution? You cook, I'll sleep!
Fangzheng shot a glance at Red Boy. He knew what the brat's eyes meant at a glance. He nodded slightly. "Jingxin is right. Jingxin, don't sleep. Cook for me."
Red Boy: "…"
Hence, Red Boy went to cook for Fangzheng with a belly full of resentment.
A bowl of Crystal Rice was done. Fangzheng also took out some White Jade Pickled Cabbage from the Buddha Vat. He tore them into strips and scalded them with boiling water. Then, he clenched them tightly and squeezed out the water inside. Together with a bit of northeast sauce, Fangzheng felt especially good eating it. However, Fangzheng had expended too much of his energy over the past two days. His body needed to replenish itself.
Therefore, Fangzheng went out again and sprouted a spirit ginseng. He treated it like a carrot and held it in his hand. The spirit ginseng was dipped in sauce, and it tasted pretty good.
If the old Chinese doctors or tycoons outside knew that Fangzheng had eaten a spirit ginseng that could revive the dead, they would probably rush over and bite Fangzheng to death.
After having his fill, Fangzheng couldn't sleep.
Although he was tired, his body was different from ordinary people. As long as he had enough Essence Qi, he would recover quickly. A Spirit Ginseng, a bowl of Crystal Rice, and a plate of White Jade Cabbage. These were all great nourishment items produced by the system. His body immediately recovered, and he even recovered a little too much.
Instantly, Fangzheng felt his body heat up as he felt extremely energetic. Then, he suffered from insomnia.
"Jingxin, don't sleep. Have a chat with me." Fangzheng couldn't sleep, so he circled the yard thrice before finally waking Red Boy up.
Red Boy lay in the cradle with a look of resentment as he exclaimed, "Master, how can we sleep in the middle of the night? We still have to receive visitors tomorrow. "
"If I can sleep, why would I wake you? Come, get up. Let's have a good chat. "
Red Boy crawled up helplessly and asked, "Master, what do you want to chat about?"
When Monkey saw this, he gloated. "Don't be so impatient. It's a great honor to be able to chat with Master. Work hard."
Red Boy rolled his eyes when he heard that. Bootlicker!
Fangzheng nodded slightly. "Jingzhen is right. In that case, Jingzhen, come over and chat with me."
Monkey: "…"
Monkey really wanted to give himself two slaps. Would it kill him if he didn't speak up? It was so good to sleep in peace. Why did he have to say a few words? How miserable …
Therefore, Fangzheng sat at the kitchen's entrance with Red Boy and Monkey. He looked at the stars that filled the sky and breathed in the cold air of the northeast wind. "Both of you, speak."
Red Boy said in surprise, "Master, shouldn't you be the one speaking? We are here to chat with you. "
Monkey nodded as well.
Fangzheng shook his head. "How would I know what to chat about? It's so late at night and I can't sleep. Why don't the both of you chat? I'll listen … "
Red Boy and Monkey immediately wore looks of resentment. F * * k you, darn baldy. How can you be like that! You don't let us sleep in the middle of the night and get us to chat with you. But now that we are here, you want us to chat? Listen! mmP！
However, the two of them did not dare say it out loud. They exchanged looks and wore embarrassed looks. Usually, they did not feel anything when chatting, but now that they had to deliberately chat, they felt awkward from head to toe. They felt uncomfortable in all sorts of ways and their brains had gone haywire. They were completely at a loss for words.
Red Boy was still quick-witted as he immediately said, "Master, why don't you tell us a story?"
Monkey added, "That's right. Master, tell us a story."
Fangzheng thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright. Do you want to hear a long one or a short one?"
When Red Boy heard that, he found it a little familiar. However, he could not recall when Fangzheng had said it before. Hence, he said, "Master, tell us a long one."
Monkey shared the same thoughts. Since they could forget about sleeping tonight, he might as well let Fangzheng tell them a long one. That way, he could relax a little.
Fangzheng chuckled. "Alright, let's tell a long one. Once upon a time, there was a temple on a mountain. In the temple, there was a young monk who was telling two disciples a story. What was it about? It was about a mountain in the past. There was a temple on the mountain … What was it about? It was about … "
Upon hearing the story, Monkey's face darkened. As for Red Boy, he was enlightened as though he had just woken up from a dream. Indeed, this scammer was using this story to fool people again!
Hence, Red Boy recited angrily. "It was about a mountain in the past. There was a temple on the mountain …"
Fangzheng said, "Not bad. Jingxin, you actually learned it."
Red Boy looked at Fangzheng as though he was looking at a fool. "Master, who doesn't know how to tell such a repetitive story of yours?"
Fangzheng nodded. "Alright. Since you said so and your perceptivity is so good, go ahead and tell me. I'll listen. Remember, you are not to stop before daybreak! "
Red Boy: "…"
When Monkey heard that, he nearly rolled over in laughter. However, he ultimately held back and did not laugh out loud.
Red Boy looked up into the sky and thought to himself, "Sooner or later, I'll make this darn baldy tell me this story for an entire year!"
Then, Red Boy bitterly began the long journey of the story.
