Chapter 1265 Termites
Chapter 1265 Termites
"I won't choose any of them. It would be a shame if I went looking for them. Sooner or later, I'll be ignored. I won't go and make myself miserable. Don't think about it anymore. I don't like any of your ideas. You should just accompany me for a walk over there."
"Miss, you don't have to disbelieve me. With your noncompetitive character, you will definitely suffer in the future."
Hong Jiutong didn't want to listen to Jingjing talking about these strategies that were not strategies. She pulled Jingjing forward and said, "Jingjing, you and I grew up together. You know my personality very well. I don't listen to advice, and I won't listen to your advice either. Besides, we came to the temple today to burn incense and pray for blessings. This place is peaceful and a rare spiritual pure land. I am usually upset enough. Can't you let me get rid of worldly troubles here for a short time and get a moment of peace!"
"Okay, okay, just shut up. I won't say anything! Miss, please be happy and stop looking so worried all the time! You're not pleasing to others when you look like this."
Hong Jiutong immediately smiled at her maid Jingjing and said, "Do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, Miss, when you smile, you are prettier than those flowers!"
"You are the only one with a talking mouth!"
When people go to a temple, they visit each hall from front to back, paying homage and worshipping.
Only a few people did not follow the rules, such as Sui Dan, who also came to the temple for a bowl of vegetarian meal. He was the same as Cheng Youning. He went to the dining hall before the meal, got a bowl of rice for himself, and then squatted under a big tree in a side hall to eat.
At this time, Cheng Youning and several other children also came here with a bowl each, as if they had agreed to eat, "Dandan, you are here too!"
Sui Dan looked up at Cheng Youning and said, "Cheng Youning, you are here to eat vegetarian food too!"
"Yes, I like vegetarian food. Why don't you find a place to sit and eat? Why are you squatting on the ground?"
Sui Dan waved at him and said, "Let me show you something fun." Several children rushed forward, each holding a bowl in their hands, and squatted on the ground almost at the same time.
Hong Yuncong screamed: "Oh my, why are there so many termites!"
Cheng Youning was also a little puzzled. He looked at the steamed bread crumbs on the ground and said, "Dandan, are you feeding the ants? Master Daoqing said that giving alms is the greatest merit. When did you develop a kind heart?"
Sui Dan said, "You think I am your parent. I am overflowing with love. I will give alms whenever I want. These termites are eating this tree!"
Cheng Youning showed a surprised expression, "Then are you saving this tree? My master said that all things have spirits, and saving trees is also a good deed!" Cheng Youning said this, but in his heart he didn't quite believe that Sui Dan, who lived with cold-blooded animals every day, could be so kind.
"I think you have been taught a fool by your master Huang Chenming. If you continue like this, you can become a monk!" Sui Dan's words were full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction towards Huang Chenming. Then he casually took out the snake in his arms and put it on the ground.
"Dandan, you want to feed the snake with ants?"
Sui Dan raised his eyebrows proudly, "These termites are enough for my snake to have a good meal!"
Hong Yuncong questioned: "Your snake is a little small, but there are not many termites. Can your snake be full?"
"There are so many termites in this tree." Sui Dan took out a small bottle with liquid in it from his clothes. He dropped two drops on the steamed bread crumbs on the ground, and then the ants crawled faster. The ants on the tree also crawled down along several different paths.
Cheng Youning's eyes sparkled: "Dandan, what a good thing this is!"
"I asked for it from Yan Shizhao! Even though he is a fifth-rank military advisor, he likes to study some strange medicines on weekdays and can't get rid of his habits of a country doctor." Sui Dan's tone was full of disgust.
Cheng Youning chuckled: "Dandan, are you saying this because Lord Yan Shizhao is here to ask for your blood again?"
"This man is seriously ill. If I don't give him blood, he will go to the emperor and say that he wants to develop some tonic for the emperor that cannot do without my blood. I have already told the emperor that since this man is so keen on making medicine, why should he be a military advisor? Let him be the imperial physician!"
"Dandan, if he were the imperial physician, he would dare to drain your blood. You'd better not come up with such a bad idea and harm yourself!"
"That's right. I'm hiding from Yan Shizhao now. He will miss me whenever he sees me!" Sui Dan said these words to himself very preciously!
"Dandan, the potion you just dropped on the ground wasn't made with your blood, was it?"
"There's no blood, but there's my urine in it. This Yan Shizhao is a pervert. He asked me to give him two jars of urine for no reason! I even suspect that he drank my urine as water!" Sui Dan was so angry when he mentioned this. That good man would take his own urine and give it to others for no reason. This is too perverted! Even though he knew that this urine was used as a medicine, Sui Dan felt uncomfortable!
"Dandan, you're overthinking it. Your urine doesn't smell good. Unless he has some kind of illness, no one with a normal brain would drink your urine!"
"Is this guy easy to deal with? If he didn't drink my urine, then tell me what he did with my urine. He needs two jars a month. Two jars! Do you know how much water I have to drink every time I drink these two jars of urine?"
Cheng Youning suddenly had an idea and smiled maliciously: "Dandan, do you think he would give your urine to my little grandfather to drink?"
"Your grandpa isn't stupid, how can he drink urine? This is absolutely impossible."
Cheng Youning put on a mature look and said, "It's hard to say. I saw that ever since he came back from the border, he has been making some kind of longevity soup for my grandfather. My grandfather confided in private that it was the most unpalatable soup he had ever tasted. He couldn't drink it without pinching his nose!"
After listening to Cheng Youning's words, Sui Dan put one hand on his chin and kept rubbing it. After a long time, he burst into laughter: "Hehehe, Cheng Youning, don't tell me. According to your analysis, my urine should have found a place to go. Wait for me to return to the palace. I will tell your grandfather about this. Your grandfather is most afraid of these filthy things. If he knew that Yan Shizhao gave him urine to drink, he would definitely punish Yan Shizhao!"
"Dandan, I think you'd better stop complaining. Who is Yan Shizhao? How many civil and military officials are as sharp-tongued as him? This man can argue even when he is wrong. My grandfather gives him some leeway. He can make medicines, which benefits the country and the people. He can also make plans and have made many contributions. My grandfather loves talents. Even if he knew that Yan Shizhao gave him urine to drink, he probably wouldn't offend Yan Shizhao."
