However, Fangzheng still asked the System, "How about it?"
"Labor in exchange for payment. Reasonable."
Fangzheng, who was in the terminal stages of laziness, nodded and said, "Sure."
"Bucket! Bucket! Master, where's the bucket? I want a big one! "Fatty was delighted when he heard that. It was fine if he was hungry. All he wanted now was to drink water!
Creak!
Fangzheng took out the water bucket he used to fetch water from the kitchen. It was a 1.2-meter-tall, half-meter-wide metal bucket and placed it in front of Fatty.
Fatty, who had been shouting excitedly, was instantly dumbfounded. He pointed at the bucket and said, "Master, did you take the wrong one? Are you sure this isn't your family's water vat? "
Fangzheng pointed at the huge water vat in the kitchen and said, "That's a water vat. Do you want to try?"
Fatty shot a glance at the water vat and immediately wore a bitter look. He cursed inwardly, "Holy sh * t! That's a water vat? That's a water vat? That's a pond, alright? Even I can swim if I jump in! "
Fangzheng naturally understood Fatty's difficulties. However, he still added in a sneaky manner, "This bucket is already the biggest one I have. If you think it's small, carry the water vat down."
"It's not small, it's not small at all!" Fatty hurriedly exclaimed. Then, he tried the bucket. It was made of metal and wasn't considered heavy, but it wasn't light either. One person could carry it. However, if it was filled with water … Fatty's face immediately crumbled. He shot a glance at Monkey who had his hands in his pockets and was whistling. He looked up into the sky as though he did not see or know a thing.
Fatty went forward and kicked Monkey's butt. "Do you want to drink water or not? If you do, work. Otherwise, don't even think of drinking water when I bring it back! "
Only then did Monkey say, "Master, I wonder how much water we need to bring back before we can drink freely?"
Fangzheng pointed at the Buddha Vat and said, "Fill it up. It'll be enough."
The quintet went over and looked inside. They were collectively dumbfounded! The water vat looked huge, but it looked even bigger from the inside!
Monkey gulped and said, "How many buckets will it take to fill it up?"
Fangzheng said, "About ten buckets."
"Master, how do you usually get this water up here?" Fatty refused to give up and tried to find a shortcut. He did not think that this weak monk would carry the water down the mountain by himself. As for the wolf, although it had a strong physique, a wolf was a wolf, not a cow or a horse. Its waist was naturally soft, so it definitely did not have the physical strength to fill the water tank by itself.
Fangzheng said, "Sure."
"Alone?" Everyone was stunned.
Fangzheng nodded. "Lone Wolf will also help me pick some."
Everyone was still somewhat dumbfounded. Such a huge bucket and such a thin monk looked rather normal on their own. But when placed together, it was a little out of place.
"Benefactors, are you still fetching water? If he wanted to fetch water, he would have to hurry. It's not easy going up and down the mountain. "
"What do you think? Are you in or not? "Fatty asked Monkey.
Monkey gritted his teeth. "Let's do it! You pick the big one, I'll pick the small one! "
"F * ck off, let's lift the big one together! It's tiring enough to go up and down the mountain. How about we make a big one after each trip? "Fatty scolded jokingly.
Monkey was a little hesitant, but when he saw Lu Xiaoya's hopeful eyes, he knew that he could not screw up. Thus, they agreed. There was no need for them to carry the buckets anymore. Each of them carried one end of the bucket and went down the mountain.
When Jiang Ting, Lu Xiaoya, and Ruan Ying saw this, they followed with all sorts of small basins. Lu Xiaoya chuckled and took a water cup.
Upon seeing this, Fangzheng was rendered speechless. Indeed, some people were very, very sneaky.
Fangzheng did not care when they would come back down the mountain. His rice was still in the pot. The speed of cooking rice in the pot was very slow. Furthermore, Fangzheng's cooking skills were not bad either. He knew when to use a gentle fire and when to use a forceful fire. Only by alternating between gentle and forceful could he cook the most delicious rice. This skill was something he had learned from Master One Finger. The mountain was poor, and One Finger was unable to produce anything delicious to satisfy Fangzheng's gluttony. Therefore, he had become an excellent cook.
Of course, it was also evident in a few simple dishes of rice and vegetables. As for the rest, even if he had the intention to study them, he could not afford the ingredients to practice.
Fangzheng adjusted the fire to a gentle one and came to the bodhi tree in the yard. He began reading the Buddhist scriptures quietly.
The Buddhist scriptures were not complete. Fangzheng did not know what the complete scripture was called. As half of the book was missing, there was no beginning or end to it, so he could not tell much. However, there was a section of scripture recited in the morning. It was very pleasant to the ears. Furthermore, when he recited it, it would indeed calm his mind and make his body feel comfortable.
Furthermore, with nothing to do, he might as well recite it a hundred times. The meaning would be revealed on its own, allowing him to review the past and learn the new.
At the foot of the mountain, Fatty, Monkey, and company finally arrived at the mountain spring. Fatty suddenly smacked his head and exclaimed, "Aiyah, are we dumb? That monk's water comes from here. Why do we need water from him? There's plenty here. We can just lie in there and drink! Why do we still need to carry water!? "
Monkey and company suddenly came to a realization. "That's right! Why the hell would we need to carry water? Why would we tire ourselves to death? Let's just drink it! "
Therefore, the quintet cheered and rushed towards the spring. They did not even bother with water buckets. All of them ran like wild horses.
Fatty roared with laughter. "Monkey, do you think this water will sell well if it is made into mineral water?"
"Definitely!" Monkey's eyes lit up!
"Let's go back and gather the money. Let's do it! We are going to be rich. Haha! That darn monk doesn't even know how to use his treasure. He deserves to be poor! He doesn't even give us a bowl of a thousand yuan. Now, I won't give him a single cent and he can still drink as much as he wants! Once I contract the spring, I'll make him spend money to drink the water! A thousand yuan a bowl! "
"Fatty, don't be so sarcastic. I think 1500 is just right, "said Monkey with a smile.
The two were immediately amused. The three women laughed as well. Jiang Ting said, "That Master is indeed a little despicable."
Lu Xiaoya chuckled. "But he's not smart. He actually told us about this treasure land. We are going to be rich, but he is going to be poor. "
Everyone laughed again and ran to the spring's side. Those who had basins or cups used cups. Fatty directly sprawled by the spring's mouth and stuck his head in to drink. Monkey squatted there and scooped the water with both hands.
A few seconds later, their smiles froze.
Then, they collectively stood up and began spitting.
"What's going on? Why is this water so disgusting? "Fatty yelled the most fiercely.
"Fatty, don't speak nonsense. It's not as disgusting as you say. It's much better than the mineral water we used to drink, but compared to Master's water, it's like night and day, "said Jiang Ting bitterly.
"Fine. Didn't you just call him silly? Now, from the looks of it, he's not silly at all! The place he told us isn't where he fetches water, "said Lu Xiaoya miserably.
Ruan Ying said, "Then what do we do now? Are we going to fetch the water? "
"Since we're already here, I can't take it lying down if I don't drink a mouthful of that water! Furthermore, we have to ask what's up with that monk's water. How can it be so delicious!? There's definitely something fishy going on. If he could fetch the water himself, there would be no need for us to fetch it from such crappy spring water, "said Fatty with a scoff.
