I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 290 - 279: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole
"Alright, brother, I was wrong!" Don’t deny him the roast chicken!
"Too late!"
An Jian: "..." A careless move!
"Did you call me here just for this today?"
This time, An Jian was truly uneasy!
Jiang Mingyue understood completely, gazing at An Jian with a half-smile.
An Jian felt a chill down his back from being stared at.
"Ahem... Brother, tell me, how can I make up for my mistake today?"
See, when sleep comes, a pillow is sent.
"Isn’t this... not good?"
This time it was An Jian’s turn to get anxious, thinking of the taste of that roast chicken, he regretted it. Fortunately, there was a chance to take a regret medicine, and he would seize it by any means.
"Alright, why not! I’m off today. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Why the heroic sacrifice stance?
"Actually, it’s nothing much." Just need to go on a trip with me.
The two arrived at Qiong Bamboo Temple, surprisingly, the temple gate was closed.
"Huh! This squatting occupier has taken the owner’s stance."
"Even in times of peace, antisocial people still appear, their actions are not inappropriate."
"Should we knock?"
"Beggars probably wake up late, right?" After all, they have nothing to do.
"Yes, they probably go to beg around mealtime. Have you heard about the furthest places they’ve gone to beg?"
After all, with over a dozen beggars, it’s not easy for the people of Nanxi City to support them all year round. Charity is something that requires one to fill their own stomach first.
An Jian paused.
"What’s wrong?"
"It’s strange, they’ve lived in the temple for a year, but I’ve never heard of beggars wandering and begging in Nanxi City, and nothing has ever happened here."
Jiang Mingyue recalled yesterday’s summary: "Maybe they couldn’t beg for much, and decided to hunt and dig for wild vegetables in the back mountains."
"What you said makes sense, given the current scarcity of resources, being able to eat half-full is already good enough, where is there extra to spare? If they could receive charity, not many would starve."
"Why not climb over the wall to take a look?"
An Jian: "..." Truly brothers, heroes think alike.
Just as his brother finished speaking, he ran over, kicked the tree trunk, did a spin, grabbed the top of the courtyard wall like a swift snake, then pulled himself up, and was already sitting steadily on the wall.
An Jian: This guy is definitely his brother without a doubt.
Jiang Mingyue, sitting on the wall first, didn’t look back at An Jian who was still below, only gazed around the temple like the highest definition camera, scanning each corner.
Huh? Beggars practicing martial arts?
After replicating his brother’s wall-climbing move, An Jian admired his brother even more, now standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Qiong Bamboo Temple was originally built modeled after Mount Song Shaolin Temple, having a martial arts training field isn’t strange."
Jiang Mingyue retracted his gaze, and gave his brother a smile.
An Jian shuddered directly, "Ahem... Indeed, beggars practicing martial arts is odd. So, these people are problematic, maybe I should call someone to wipe them out... I mean, bring them back to investigate?"
"What’s the reason for arresting them?"
An Jian: Better not expose it so quickly!
"Alright, let’s just head in openly."
The two landed and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time, as they were considering going back on the wall again, the door creaked...
Oh! The side door opened, the two exchanged glances, unwilling to admit they were fools.
The awkward realization of foolishness lasted less than a second before they were surprised by the person who opened the door.
"Little monk?" An Jian thought he might have gone the wrong way and stepped back to check the door sign, confirming it was Qiong Bamboo Temple, not Shaolin Temple.
The little monk looked about seven years old, not outstanding looking, at least, an existence lost in a crowd.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, the protruding front tooth became unforgettable.
"Amitabha Buddha, visitors are there something you need from our temple?"
This serious demeanor did have a hint of monk’s awareness. If he washed his face, and his hands weren’t dirty, considering his age, one could temporarily set aside some preconceptions, unfortunately!
"Huh? This is clearly my home, little monk, how are you squatting here?"
Visibly, the little monk’s mouth opened wide, front tooth in C position, instantly bringing fame to its owner.
Then the little monk got pushed aside, as An Jian returned home.
Jiang Mingyue: "..." She was still too naive.
"Brother, you saw it, right?"
Jiang Mingyue: "...I saw it, brother you really" are suited to be a king of the hill.
Upon entering, under the eaves, there were beggars lying or leaning, as if it wasn’t them bare-chested practicing martial arts just now. If ignoring the newly applied charcoal, they suited idol drama extras, after all, it doesn’t require acting skills.
