Fangzheng shot a glance at Lone Wolf. Yang Hua looked at the tiny basket hanging from Lone Wolf's mouth and said with a smile, "Digging for wild vegetables?"
Fangzheng said with a smile, "That's right. It's spring, and the wild vegetables are out. It's time to adjust the taste."
"Alright, just you wait." Yang Hua ran into the yard and took out a tiny hoe the length of a forearm. It was a tiny hoe that was specially used for meticulous work. It was also a divine weapon for digging wild vegetables.
With this, Fangzheng immediately felt like he could do something big.
He separated from Yang Hua and went straight for a river.
The banks of the river were golden lands where wild vegetables grew the most. Every spring, the villagers would return there to dig for wild vegetables. And in this season, there were usually no wild vegetables. March was just the beginning of the snow's thaw. It was still cold, so wild vegetables had to stay hidden for the winter. However, for some reason, the temperature on the banks of the river was higher than the surroundings. The Wormwood sprouts that usually only appeared in May or June began appearing in March. This was also Fangzheng's favorite wild vegetable.
With the hoe in hand, Fangzheng skillfully dug out the Wormwood sprouts that had just emerged from the soil. He did not dig them out completely, but left the roots intact. This way, they would quickly grow back to prevent them from becoming extinct.
Fangzheng dug as Lone Wolf followed with a basket in his mouth. However, his eyes would roll back from time to time. Clearly, he had no interest in the lush green grass.
Squirrel watched Fangzheng dig for a while before he suddenly jumped to the ground. He began digging with his tiny claws and soon, he dug out a Wormwood sprout. Then, he smugly climbed onto Lone Wolf's head and waved the Wormwood sprout in front of Lone Wolf. Finally, he gently threw it into the basket. It was as though he was saying: "Look at you trash. I can dig, but can you?"
When Fangzheng saw this, he said with a smile, "Since you can work, don't be lazy. Finish digging quickly and return to make delicious food for all of you."
However, Squirrel immediately sprawled on Lone Wolf's head and stuck out his tongue. He looked like he was exhausted and refused to move.
Fangzheng prodded the fellow's tiny belly and said, "You are a glutton. If you don't work, you won't have lunch."
The squirrel immediately jumped up and waved his claws to express his displeasure. Then, he jumped down unwillingly. Feeling his fat ass, he dug one tree after another and became Fangzheng's coolie.
The man and squirrel dug for wild vegetables, but soon, Lone Wolf couldn't take it anymore. It was too uncomfortable to follow behind. He threw down the basket and ran off while Fangzheng wasn't paying attention. He ran into the bushes and jumped around. It was unknown what he was up to.
Fangzheng could not be bothered with the retarded wolf. Ever since he met Lone Wolf, Fangzheng finally understood why huskies looked like wolves. They were a bunch of idiots. Gluttonous, lazy, crafty …
Fangzheng continued digging as Squirrel came down. He looked at Fangzheng with watery eyes, as though he was saying: "Can I have some fun too? That fellow has gone off to play … "
Fangzheng said, "It's fine if you want to play, but lunch …"
Squirrel immediately turned around and began digging!
Fangzheng was amused when he saw this. These guys were truly gluttons!
As the two dug, they suddenly heard a wolf howl behind them. Following that, there was a strange squeaking sound. Fangzheng turned his head and saw a huge monkey running with a basket in hand. Lone Wolf chased after it with a howl and snatched the basket, splattering the wild vegetables all over the ground.
As for Monkey, he ran up a tree and squatted on it. He waved his fists and said, "Darn dog, come up if you have what it takes. Let's fight for three hundred rounds. I'll give you a handicap of three moves. I'll beat you until your parents can't recognize you!"
When Fangzheng heard the voice and the tone, why did it sound so familiar? On careful look, it was indeed familiar!
Before Fangzheng went over, Lone Wolf was indignant. He did not understand what Monkey was saying, but to steal the basket he was guarding while he was off guard? How could he do that? He was already being merciful by slacking off. If he lost something, would he not be able to eat dinner? Therefore, Lone Wolf roared and jumped. He wished that he could turn into a monkey and climb up a tree to bite Monkey until he couldn't take care of himself.
One of them was on the tree while the other was on the ground. As they cursed incessantly, one jumped and the other waved his fists. Finally, Monkey had an idea and pulled down a tree branch. Lone Wolf jumped and raised his pole to strike it. Pa!
Ow! Woo!
Lone Wolf's face immediately had a mark. He sat on the ground in pain and scratched with his claws.
When Monkey saw this, he cackled and clapped his hands. He jumped up the tree as well.
At that moment …
Bam!
With a dull thud, the tree shook. Monkey, who was feeling smug, lost his footing and plummeted down!
Monkey somersaulted in midair and cursed, "Who is it!?"
Lone Wolf's head appeared in front of him. Lone Wolf grinned, revealing his sharp fangs. He had a nefarious smile as though he was saying, "Stupid monkey, keep jumping! You must have landed in Grandpa's hands. Hmph! "
Monkey turned to run in fright, but he felt a pain in his ass. He said angrily, "Who is it again?"
Monkey turned his head and saw a fair-skinned monk. He had grabbed his tail with one hand, preventing him from running.
"You darn monkey. You actually followed me all the way from Mt. Baiyun to Mt. One Finger. Today, you have landed in This Penniless Monk's hands. Tell me, what do you want? Braise, cook, or fry. Choose one," Fangzheng threatened with a stern look. As for whether the monkey in front of him was the one on Mt. Baiyun, Fangzheng was unsure. Back then, he had only seen a red ass in the day. He could not see it clearly at night. Besides, Fangzheng was not a monkey. It was easy to go blind if he recognized a monkey from a different species. Therefore, he had only said it in passing.
"Master, you remember me?" Monkey was taken aback as he exclaimed.
Fangzheng was stunned. "It's really you?"
Monkey nodded in excitement. "It's me! It's me! It's me! "
Fangzheng raised his hand and threw Monkey to Lone Wolf. "Throw him deep into the mountains. This fellow is a thief. Be careful that you don't steal all your rice vats."
Lone Wolf was originally a little pissed at Monkey, but when he heard that Monkey was stealing rice, he was stealing his rations? How could he tolerate that? He might be able to tolerate it, but Squirrel on his head could not! He was gritting his teeth and waving his claws. He yearned to jump up and strike Monkey's knee.
Monkey jumped in fright when he heard that. He hurriedly shouted, "Master! Master! Master! I'm not here to steal. I have something to discuss with you! "
Fangzheng waved his hand as Lone Wolf's gaping mouth stopped in midair. It was just a centimeter away from grabbing Monkey's laryngoscope fur.
Fangzheng said, "Monkey, why didn't you just live a carefree life on the mountain? Why did you come to This Penniless Monk?" Fangzheng pondered. Could this fellow be addicted to eating Crystal Rice? That would not do. Although he received a lot of incense offerings, all of them were big eaters. If this carried on, he would go broke! Fangzheng had already made up his mind. He had to reject it!
