The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism-Chapter 1413: Free Lunch

Squirrel was excited when he heard that. He asked, "Did he lose a lot of weight?"

Red Boy said, "What made you think so? When I caught him, he couldn't even fit the steam tray. He was really fat…"

When Squirrel heard that, his eyes, which were filled with fighting spirit, immediately turned blank. "He traveled 108,000 li and ate vegetarian every day. But he was still fat?"

Red Boy tricked him in all seriousness. "That's right. That's why losing weight has nothing to do with exercise or eating habits."

Squirrel said, "What is it related to?"

Red Boy said, "It has something to do with one's physique. Some people can become fat just by drinking water."

Squirrel rubbed his face bitterly. "Don't tell me that I can't even drink water?"

Red Boy patted Squirrel. "Senior Brother, if you don't drink water, you will die. I'm only telling you the truth. Exercising, eating vegetarian, and losing weight is useless. Therefore…"

"Therefore, I've decided! I'm angry! I'm not losing weight! I want to eat pine nuts! I want to eat many mushrooms!" With that said, Squirrel ran out angrily to find pine nuts and mushrooms.

Monkey leaned against the wall as he watched Squirrel leave. He gave Red Boy a thumbs up and said, "Junior Brother, impressive! If Senior Brother really loses weight, we won't have any snacks in the future."

Red Boy said, "There's nothing I can do about that. Senior Brother's nest has been empty for several days. I have to think of a way to rush him. Hehe…"

Monkey said, "Hehe… Junior Brother, who's that fellow who didn't lose weight after traveling 108,000 li while carrying heavy weights?"

Red Boy said, "Piggy from Journey to the West."

Monkey: "… You trickster!"

At that moment, Fangzheng had enough rest. He got up and greeted Salted Fish. "Jingzhi, let's go. Follow me down the mountain!"

"Master! Don't you want us anymore?" Red Boy hurriedly ran down the mountain and hugged Fangzheng's thigh as he looked pitifully at Fangzheng.

Fangzheng said, "Due to your poor performance last time, I've taken away your right to go down the mountain. Do your best to make up for it on the mountain. I'll bring you down the mountain when I feel that you are about done."

"Master, I think I've already changed my ways. I've been pondering over it just now. I really know my faults." Red Boy refused to give up.

Unfortunately, Fangzheng did not buy his words. He found a black cloth and wrapped up Salted Fish before heading down the mountain.

Red Boy stood on the mountaintop as he watched Fangzheng leave. He said with a look of sorrow, "I was abandoned by Master. I'm so sad…"

"Junior Brother, Second Junior Brother is back. His tiny pockets are bulging." At that moment, Lone Wolf came over and whispered.

The moment Red Boy heard that, all his dispiritedness was swept away. He said sneakily, "He's back? Let's go, Senior Brother Jingzhen. I'll have to trouble you to get Senior Brother out to have a heart-to-heart chat. I'll share a portion with you later."

"No problem!" Monkey patted his chest as a guarantee.

The three fellows chuckled and left.

Before long, Squirrel's angry bellow came from the monastery. "Where's my knife? I'm going to kill someone today! Ahhh…"

At the foot of the mountain, it was Fangzheng's first time walking out of the mountain. He didn't know if without experiencing it himself. There were mountains after mountains. There wasn't even a proper path. He completely relied on the defensive capabilities of the Mountain Moving Treasure Wheel to charge forward. Otherwise, ordinary people would have given up long ago.

After walking for a day, the man and fish came out of the mountain. Fangzheng hurriedly carried Salted Fish on his back and cast an obscuration spell. Then, he sat on the roof of a truck and set off. Fangzheng had no idea where he was going.

Three days later, Fangzheng looked at the unfamiliar place and asked, "How much rations do we have left?"

Salted Fish whispered. "Master, it's been three days. We had our last meal this morning. If we don't prepare anything to eat, we will have nothing to eat."

Fangzheng nodded in acknowledgment.

At that moment, Fangzheng saw a store in the distance. There was a sign hanging at the store's entrance. On it were the words: "Everyday, the 88th and 188th customer will eat on the house!"

Fangzheng's eyes lit up when he saw it!

At this moment, the shop had just opened. The boss was packing up the stuff at the entrance. Clearly, there were no customers inside!

Fangzheng was immediately amused as he said with a smile, "Our meal is settled!"

Therefore, Fangzheng wasn't in a hurry to leave. He sat on the stone platform opposite the restaurant with Salted Fish. Fangzheng counted the customers…

Just as Fangzheng was counting, Salted Fish shushed him. Fangzheng subconsciously looked to the side and saw a child come not far away. He squatted down. The child was a little nervous as he stared at the entrance of the restaurant with his large eyes. That gaze…

If not for the lack of killing intent, Fangzheng would have suspected that the child was planning on blowing up the restaurant to exact a blood vengeance.

At that moment, a customer came. The child immediately lowered a finger. He was clearly counting.

Fangzheng was stunned as he scratched his nose. He whispered to Salted Fish, "Hey, there's someone here to vie for the food."

Salted Fish whispered. "Master, if you let me out, I'll scare him away in short time."

Fangzheng slapped black cloth bag and scolded jokingly, "Why are you angry at a child? Didn't you see the two customers who went in just now? Since he didn't see them, we're definitely going to win based on his incorrect count. You definitely won't lose out on today's meal."

"What do we do if I don't have my share?" Salted Fish was a little worried. After all, he had often heard Lone Wolf tearily talk about how he starved when he left the mountain…

Fangzheng chuckled. "If you don't get a share, I'll prepare a double feast for you when we return!"

Salted Fish immediately said, "It's a deal!"

Fangzheng grunted and fell silent.

As time passed, more and more customers came to the restaurant. Fangzheng squatted there and silently counted.

Finally, when the eightieth guest arrived, the child suddenly turned around and ran.

When Fangzheng saw this scene, he scratched his nose. He couldn't figure it out. He mumbled, "Could this child be counting for fun? He doesn't want a free meal?"

Since that was the case, Fangzheng did not stand on ceremony. He waited quietly for the remaining customers to appear. He wanted to be the 88th customer.

After waiting bitterly for some time, the eighty-seventh guest finally appeared. Fangzheng hurriedly stood up and strode towards the restaurant, in case the spot was snatched.

Fangzheng's quick arrival attracted the store owner's attention. After all, an adult had been waiting by the door since early in the morning. Anyone would have noticed and taken a note of him.

Upon seeing Fangzheng come, the store owner revealed a helpless and kind smile. Clearly, he did not dislike people who came to eat for free. He was an honest merchant.

Upon seeing this scene, Fangzheng felt a little embarrassed. He wondered if he should repay him in the future.

At that moment, Salted Fish said, "Master, look behind!"
