Fangzheng's mind was filled with such questions as well, so he wasn't in a rush to answer Red Boy. Instead, he led Red Boy out of the shade. The next moment, the two of them felt the warmth of the sun. When the warm sunlight landed on their bodies, the cold and humidity instantly vanished. They felt warm all over, just like the northeastern summer.
"Master? Where are we? This darn weather … I might as well have been cold or hot, "said Red Boy bitterly.
Fangzheng looked up into the sky and saw the sun that was clearly higher than the northeastern sun. "We should be in the south."
"South? Master, didn't you say that there's no winter in the south? The sun shines high in the sky and it's warm. Why is it completely different? " Red Boy often looked at his cell phone, but what he paid attention to was not geography. Occasionally, he would see descriptions of the south.
However, Fangzheng wasn't a southerner, nor was he an encyclopedia. Therefore, he wasn't too sure about the problem. He shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. However, the sun is higher than the north, so it should be the south. That's not important. Let me see where we are first. "
As he spoke, Fangzheng took out his cell phone and looked at the location on it. He grinned and mumbled. "We're really in Jiangnan."
"Jiangnan?" Red Boy was stunned.
"It's just a general term. It's just south of the Yangtze River. Our present location is in Hubei. Let's go. This is my first time here, so there are too many things I don't know. "
"Okay." Just as Fangzheng said that, a cloud floated over from the horizon. Fangzheng guessed that it was about to rain. When he looked at his cell phone, it was true. It was going to rain in the evening!
Fangzheng was dressed in white monk robes, and beside him was a young monk who looked like he was carved from jade. The two of them walked on the road and many people turned their heads. It was difficult not to see them, but Fangzheng was already used to such gazes. Red Boy? Back at One Finger Monastery, every tourist that came would give him a second glance or tease him. Therefore, he was even more thick-skinned than Fangzheng.
After turning a corner, they arrived at a relatively bustling street. The street wasn't that wide, and there were more pedestrians. There weren't any fences in the middle of the road either. There were shops all around, and people came and went. It was bustling.
Upon seeing this, Red Boy's eyes lit up. He tugged at Fangzheng and said pitifully, "Master, I smell barbecue. How about we eat some vegetables instead of meat? "
"Jingxin, recite to me what the Five Smells are," said Fangzheng with a serious expression.
Red Boy said bitterly, "Five kinds of meat. The 'Compendium of Materia Medica' says: 'Five kinds of meat are the five pungent spices. The school of Body Refinement regards garlic, garlic, leek, brassica, and coriander as the Five Smells; the school of Daoism regards leek, leek, garlic, brassica, and coriander as the Five Smells; the school of Buddhism regards garlic, spring onion, buckwheat, or small garlic, chives, and onions as the Five Smells. " At this point, Red Boy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Master, I'm not going to eat roasted garlic or chili. Can I eat some roasted vegetables?"
Fangzheng ruffled Red Boy's hair and brought him to a nearby barbecue shop. Just as Red Boy was about to rush over, Fangzheng grabbed him by the collar. Red Boy looked at Fangzheng, perplexed. Fangzheng said, "Take a look …"
Red Boy responded tersely. When he caught a whiff of the barbecue fragrance, he nearly drooled.
The barbecue shop's business was pretty good. Although it was daytime, there were still quite a number of people who came to barbecue. There weren't many types of roasted meat and vegetables, but they were sold very quickly. The vegetables mainly consisted of leek, eggplant, mushroom, and cabbage. Red Boy saw that the leek was definitely not edible, but the eggplant, mushroom, and cabbage could be eaten!
However, the moment he thought of the White Jade Cabbage, his interest waned. Therefore, he set his sights on the mushroom and eggplant.
The huge eggplant was split into two with a knife and placed on a rack to roast. Following that, layers of spices were added … Red Boy gulped as he looked at the next one with tears in his eyes. This was because the eggplant's spices were chili and garlic powder … Clearly, he could not afford to be late.
Thankfully, the mushroom did not have any of that. Even without the chili, it still looked very delicious.
Unfortunately, when the mushroom was done roasting and placed to the side, Red Boy nearly cried when the spices were added. The meat and vegetables were placed on the same plate. According to the rules …
"How is it?" asked Fangzheng.
Red Boy looked pitifully at Fangzheng. "Master …"
Fangzheng smiled. "Actually, I'm also an expert at barbecuing. If you wish to eat it, I'll roast it for you when we return to the mountain."
"Really?" Red Boy's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Fangzheng smiled. "Of course …" He subconsciously recalled the days when he was young and stole vegetables. Back then, he had dug out the cabbage hearts of other people's vegetable fields, plucked the heads of immature carrots, and dug out young potatoes … And these stolen goods clearly could not be brought back to Mt. One Finger for Zen Master One Finger to see. But what was he to do if he wanted to eat it? He could only do it himself! It did not matter if he did not have seasonings or vinegar. He could fool a few children into going home to get it. No pots and pans? That was fine. He could stack up the rocks, stuff the wood in, and light a fire to roast! There was no lack of tree branches in the wilderness. He could randomly get some tree branches and mix them with vegetables, roasting them happily. Although it was terrible in the beginning, his skills improved as he did it more often …
Unfortunately, after he grew up, he had not done any work for quite some time. Now that he thought about it, he was a little tempted. Therefore, he included this matter in his plans for the next five days.
With Fangzheng's guarantee, Red Boy immediately beamed. He originally wanted to have fun, but now he would ask from time to time, "Master, when are we returning to the mountain?"
Fangzheng did not stand on ceremony as he rapped him. "All you have is a heart to eat! It's simple if you want to return. Help me do the mission and find the mission target. "
"Okay." Red Boy nodded.
At that moment, a series of music sounded from afar. It seemed to be coming from a speaker, and the quality of the music wasn't that great. However, Fangzheng's expression turned odd when he heard the tune. There were still people singing such ancient tunes in this day and age? This was something he had heard when he was young. It could be considered a memory of the past. However, it did not belong to him. This was because it was the youth of Wang Yougui and company. To Fangzheng, the memories of that era were a little blurry.
As his thoughts ran wild, the singing approached …
"The wanderer misses you outside,
"Dear Mother
"Wandering footsteps travel the world
"Without a home
"The winter wind carries snowflakes
…
"Walking, walking, walking
"How many years have passed
"The spring grass is sprouting
"Another spring and summer …"
"Master, what song is this? Why does it make me want to beat him up? "Red Boy frowned.
