The good weather of the past few days had made the fresh mushrooms inside Nanshan Temple dry and undamaged. Tian Yutang happily helped to string up the mushrooms with hemp rope and hung them under the eaves.

The wild chicken that Tian Yuqiao had brought back from the mountain had now been neatly picked up by Lady Wang with the intention of making some soup for the children.

”Mom, there are still some mushrooms with broken roots. We'll keep the stewed chicken to eat.” Tian Yutang said with a smile.

”Ai, alright. Mother will listen to you. It will strengthen your bodies. ”Sigh, what a pity. Ju'er and Tong'er are monks, they cannot eat meat.” Mrs Wang sighed.

Now that Yuan Tong's injuries had mostly healed, he could still occasionally punch in the yard. When he heard that Wang Shi Shi was going to stew chicken at night, he felt as if the saliva in his mouth was flowing in reverse.

However, he was still a young monk. Although he usually ate in secret behind his master's back, with his mother's help, he couldn't possibly eat meat in front of his parents, right?

As if noticing the disappointment in the little guy's eyes, Tian Yuqiao smiled and pulled him to the side. ”Does little brother Tong'er want to eat chicken?” Don't worry, you are still young. Your master and Buddha won't blame you. In the future when I find your master's fellow sect members, I will let the two of you remain vulgar and teach this temple to the true monks to manage it. ”

”I think we also have an uncle-master. He came by once that year, and I think he's called Junior Master Hui Kong.” Yuan Tong touched his little head and thought of a name with all his might.

”Un, that's good. When the time comes, pass your master's legacy to your Junior Master Hui Kong. You and Brother Qian'Er should eat less tonight. I'll get Yutang to leave some food for you guys in secret. ” Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.

Yuan Tong couldn't help but suck in a mouthful of saliva. It had been a long time since he had eaten meat. To a child, what principles, rules and the like didn't have much of a binding force. Moreover, Master never said that the two of them were monks. In order not to have to wash his hair, he just shaved his head.

As for the fact that he relied on the bald man's strength to change his fate, he was actually no different from a beggar.

As he thought of this, the guilt in his well-rounded heart immediately disappeared. At most, he could go and repent in front of the Bodhisattva in the future. However, he and his Senior Martial Brother had never eaten meat in front of the Bodhisattva. Every time they ate, they would roast meat on the mountain.

For dinner, Wang made a big casserole of wild chicken stewed with mushrooms and two potatoes. The smell permeated the valley, making people drool uncontrollably. Even Tian Yuqiao was no exception. She hadn't eaten a chicken in a long time.

This time, Lady Wang purposely cooked alone and gave Yuan Ji and Yuan Tong a plate of soya-bean sprouts. She also made a soy sauce for them.

”Alright, everyone, hurry up and eat.” Lady Wang smiled and greeted.

The round saliva was already dripping profusely. Smelling the fragrant scent of the chicken, he could only use his chopsticks to pick up the eggplant in front of him. Although the eggplant was tasty, his mind was filled with thoughts of chicken. He could not help but pick up the chopsticks.

Tian Yuqiao looked at the gluttonous expressions on their faces and said to Lady Wang, ”Mother, there's a small table in that room. It's not appropriate for us to eat meat in front of all the guests.” How about this, let the two of them go to the west wing to eat so that Bodhisattva won't blame them? ”

Only then did née Wang smack her forehead and say, ”Aiya, it's not your fault. It's all my fault for not taking things into consideration.”

Yuan Su and Yuan Tong quickly went to the west room and cleaned up a small table, carrying a bowl. Lady Wang, on the other hand, gave them a plate of stir-fried bean sprouts and eggplant strips.
