"Think of other ways? What else can I think of? Forget it, I'll just die of hunger when I return to the mountain, "grumbled Fangzheng. Although he said that, his mind raced. He had to think of a way to survive the winter. Two bags of rice amounted to fifty kilograms. If he ate sparingly, it was not impossible for him to last three months. But here came the problem. He was not the only one at home. There was still the glutton, Lone Wolf. With him, there was definitely not enough rice to eat.
Fangzheng was vexed but he could not think of a good solution.
After returning to the mountain, he poured the two buckets of water and Lone Wolf's two buckets into the Buddha Vat. However, it was only a tenth full!
Fangzheng nearly cried on the spot as he exclaimed, "System, you are definitely doing this on purpose! You are deliberately making such a huge vat to scam me! "
"A friendly reminder. You can choose not to fill the vat. However, there are benefits to filling the vat. "
"Benefits? What benefits? " After Fangzheng experienced the benefits of the Crystal Rice, he was completely convinced of the benefits the System mentioned. He was extremely curious.
"It's a secret."
"You …" Fangzheng cursed inwardly, "F * * k you!" Then he obediently went down the mountain to fetch the water. Thankfully, Fangzheng was strong and had martial arts to protect his body. Although he ate Crystal Rice mixed with Putong Rice daily, it had a certain effect on his blood, flesh, and meridians. His body became stronger.
Now, although he was carrying two buckets of water, he was still able to run as fast as he could. The steep steps were like flat ground under his feet. As he ran down and up, Fangzheng suddenly realized that it was rather satisfying!
After running back and forth ten times, he finally filled the Buddha Vat.
However, Fangzheng did not find anything special about the Buddha Vat despite looking all day. He asked out of curiosity, "System, what's going on? Where's the surprise you mentioned? "
"Isn't it a surprise to fill such a huge vat of water in ten trips?" said the System matter-of-factly.
"F * * k you!" cursed Fangzheng.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning flew in through the window and struck in front of Fangzheng!
"F * * k you!" cursed Fangzheng decisively.
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck in front of him!
The abbot opened his mouth, "You …"
Ka …
A bolt of lightning was brewing in the dark clouds outside …
"We agreed not to do it thrice a day. Amitabha. It's good indeed. I'm done." Fangzheng flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.
The dark clouds outside immediately dispersed.
At that moment, Fangzheng felt his pants sink. He looked down and saw Lone Wolf sticking out his tongue as he whimpered incessantly.
"Thirsty? You drank a lot of water at the spring. Okay, okay, here you go. " After Fangzheng said that, he got a big bowl of water and poured it into a bowl that was modified from a flower pot.
Lone Wolf leaned over and stuck out his tongue to drink. In the end, he drank faster and faster. After a while, he finished the big bowl of water. He even licked the bottom of the bowl! After making sure that there was nothing left, it burped and leaned over, whimpering.
"You're still drinking? You're already dripping from the corners of your mouth … Uh, are you being greedy? "Fangzheng was puzzled. Was the water that delicious?
With the Crystal Rice as a precedent, Fangzheng's brain was no longer a block of wood. He hurriedly ran back and got a bowl of water. After drinking a mouthful, his eyes lit up and he ignored everything else as he gulped down the water …
When the water entered his mouth, it was extremely sweet. More importantly, it was refreshing but not cold. When it entered his body, all his organs seemed to be activated. His organs were like withered grass or old trees that had been in a drought for a long time that had suddenly encountered rain. They crazily absorbed the water and released the vitality of life as they sprouted …
After finishing the bowl of water, Fangzheng rubbed his tummy. He was bloated, but his face was filled with satisfaction as he exclaimed, "Awesome!"
Fangzheng never expected that he, who had drunk water his entire life, would find water more delicious than any other beverage! He had always believed that the Water from One Finger Spring was the best mineral water, but now, in comparison, the water was completely undrinkable!
"Wu Wu …" Lone Wolf whimpered beneath his feet.
Fangzheng said impatiently, "Alright, alright. I'll let you drink. I'll let you drink."
Fangzheng was not a petty person. Since the water was truly delicious, and it was not that the wolf had turned silly from drinking it, he decided to drink as much as he could! If he could not afford rice, he could at least afford water.
After getting Lone Wolf a huge bowl of water, Fangzheng began to ponder over what was wrong with the water. Clearly, the spring water at the foot of the mountain did not have such a taste. Then, the problem lay with the Buddha Vat.
"System? Are you there? "
The System did not respond.
"Aiyah, you are still angry? System Bro, don't be angry. Let me ask you a question. Is your surprise that the water will taste better after the vat is filled? "asked Fangzheng.
"When the Buddha Vat is filled with water, it will release the essence of the sun and moon, as well as the wishes of all living beings. It will purify the water into Unrooted Clean Aqua. Unrooted Clean Aqua does not have any mortal impurities. When it is drunk, it will be extremely sweet. It will nourish the body and stimulate the body's vitality, "said the System.
Fangzheng was relieved when he heard that the System did not show any signs of anger. At the same time, he realized that the System did not seem to have any feelings. It was like a fixed program that strictly abided by it. As long as he did not violate the rules, it was very easy to talk to him.
With this in mind, Fangzheng felt relieved.
"Can't I not fill it to the brim?"
"The Buddha Vat's special effects will not take effect if it is not filled to the brim."
Fangzheng fell silent as he touched the money in his pocket. He sighed and mumbled, "I need to save money. I need to quickly find a master to fix the well. That way, I won't have to worry about the problem of water."
With that said, Fangzheng's stomach grumbled. He was hungry. Although he had drunk quite a bit of water, water was still water. It could never replace food.
He washed the pot, poured the water, washed the rice, and cooked it!
At the same time, Fangzheng shouted, "Lone Wolf, there's not much firewood left. Get some dry wood."
Lone Wolf, who had been a little lazy a moment ago, ran out with a whimper. Fangzheng scolded him in a joking manner, "You looked like a dead dog when I asked you to fetch water. But when I asked you to gather firewood for food, you immediately became lively. Are you a fox?"
Lone Wolf wagged his tail and ran off. Not long later, he returned with a thick tree trunk. Fangzheng raised his ax and cleaved it into tiny pieces. He stuffed them into the stove and began burning them. At the same time, the man and wolf chatted casually as a way to relieve their boredom.
However, after a while, Fangzheng and Lone Wolf fell silent. They kept taking deep breaths.
"How fragrant! That's not right. I didn't use much Crystal Rice. Why is this rice so fragrant? "Fangzheng gulped a mouthful of saliva and mumbled.
Lone Wolf whimpered as he pointed at the Buddha Vat. Fangzheng said, "Are you talking about the water in the Buddha Vat? That's right. This water is so delicious. It will definitely add points when cooking food. From the looks of it, that's the problem. I wonder what rice cooked with Crystal Rice and Unrooted Clean Aqua will taste like. "
The moment that was said, Fangzheng and Lone Wolf gulped a mouthful of saliva simultaneously. All their gluttonous thoughts ran out …
