The young monk touched his shaved head cutely and said, “The vegetarian meal is ready. I came to tell you and invite you to eat.”contemporary romance

Chu Qingzhi pointed to the kitchen, “Someone has already prepared the meal.”

“Oh.” The little monk seemed a bit disappointed, lowered his head, and said, “Then, 1’11 take my leave.”

Chu Qingzhi couldn’t bear to see the young monk disappointed, so she quickly stopped him, “How about I eat two portions?”

The young monk immediately became happy again. “Alright, 1’11 go get it for you.”

How could Chu Qingzhi bear to let a child bring her breakfast? She hurriedly said, “I’ll go with you to get it.”

The young monk said happily, “Ok.”

Chu Qingzhi put down the basket and informed Tang Jinghong before following the young monk to the dining hall.

In the morning, with the birds singing and the air fresh, they walked along the shaded paths. Many visitors resided in the temple, and as they walked, they saw people heading towards the dining hall—men, women, old, young, a diverse group.

The young monk tugged at Chu Qingzhi’s sleeve and said in a childish voice, “Miss Chu, our vegetarian food is very delicious. You have to eat more later.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Okay.”

The dining hall was filled with the aroma of steamed buns and bread, enticing appetites.

Chu Qingzhi took a sniff. “It smells quite good.”

“Right?” The young monk said proudly, “First Master made breakfast today. His culinary skills are the best, so I called you over to eat.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Thank you.”

As they entered the dining hall, it felt like an ancient cafeteria. Long tables were lined with various vegetarian dishes: steamed buns, bread, stuffed tofu, noodles, potato cakes, rice cakes, and white porridge.

In the middle of the hall, there were tables and chairs where some people were already seated, eating and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.

The young monk brought Chu Qingzhi to the long table with food, looking up at her with a generous smile, “Miss Chu, what would you like? I’ll buy it for you.”

Chu Qingzhi was curious, “Why are you so kind to me?”

The young monk’s expression turned a bit sad. “Because you look like my mother.”

It seemed like many of the temple’s children were orphans. Chu Qingzhi gently touched the back of the young monk’s head, “1’11 come back to see you. 1’11 even have the eagle bring you food. How about that?”

The young monk was surprised. “You can make an eagle listen to you?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “Yes, I’ll show you later, okay?”

The young monk nodded heavily, looking forward to it. “Okay.”

At this moment, a bowl fell to the ground with a clang behind them. It shattered into pieces and splattered everywhere.

Then a person fell off the stool and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Clang, clang… Immediately after, people fell to the ground one after another for no reason. The entire hall immediately fell into panic. The screams of the girls and the cries of the children made the hall even more chaotic…

Chu Qingzhi pulled the young monk to the edge. Something was clearly wrong. She would see what was going on first. “Don’t be afraid.”

The young nodded and appeared very calm. “Miss Chu, I’m not afraid. I’ve seen more dead people!”

This made Chu Qingzhi’s heart skip a beat. Did this little fellow get picked up from the pile of dead people by the monks in this temple?

Just as Chu Qingzhi was about to say something, a group of men stood up from the corner. Each of them held a sword, and their bodies were filled with killing intent and their eyes were fierce…

One of them said, “Call Tang Jinghong over. Isn’t he the general who cares about the world? 1 want to see if he will use the map to exchange for the antidote.”

Chu Qingzhi looked over. These people were the group of people who searched for the map in the temple with them last night. She didn’t expect them to reveal themselves.

A monk ran out quickly with cold sweat on his forehead, afraid that everyone would die if he was late.

Most of the people in the hall had fainted. A small number of people who had yet to eat breakfast were still standing. When they heard this, their flustered hearts calmed down.

The young monk looked up at Chu Qingzhi but didn’t say anything. He just watched attentively.

Chu Qingzhi wanted to ask the young monk what he was looking at, but the hall was extremely quiet now. When she spoke, she would attract the other party’s attention, so she didn’t say anything.

The young monk retracted his gaze and gently hugged Chu Qingzhi. He missed his mother so much.

Chu Qingzhi patted the young monk’s back and comforted him silently.

After Tang Jinghong heard the monk’s words, he rushed to the dining hall without a word.

Tang Jinghong walked into the dinning hall calmly and swept his gaze across. Seeing that Chu Qingzhi was unharmed, he turned his attention to the culprit.

His gaze was cold and sharp, and his voice was filled with killing intent. “What condition? Tell me!”

Thinking they had the upper hand, the leader of the group arrogantly replied, “Give us the map, and we’ll give you the antidote.”

Tang Jinghong’s voice was cold. “What if I don’t?”

The man said fiercely, “Then they will all die, and you will be the culprit who killed them!”

Tang Jinghong sneered, “Funny. According to your logic, 1 become the culprit even if I didn’t poison them. Meanwhile, you, who actually poisoned them, became their savior?”

Seeing that they couldn’t suppress Tang Jinghong’s aura, the man became agitated, “No matter what you say, if you don’t hand over the map today, there’s no chance for any of them to survive.”

A woman beside him knelt down in front of Tang Jinghong. “General Tang, please save my husband.”

Then, another person knelt down…

“General Tang, please save my son.”

“General Tang, please save my wife.”

These voices rose and fell, followed by sobs…

Tang Jinghong looked around and took out a map from his pocket. He pretended to be very unwilling and helpless. Then, he threw the map over. “Give me the antidote.”

The man immediately threw the antidote to Tang Jinghong. “General Tang, thank you.” Then, he quickly left.

They had originally planned to kill Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi, but they were afraid that they might not be Tang Jinghong’s match, so someone came up with this plan.

However, from the looks of it, it was going quite smoothly.

After obtaining the map, the few of them did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately returned to report.

On Tang Jinghong’s side, he gave the antidote to the monk and asked him to detoxify everyone. After dealing with the matter in the dining hall, he brought Chu Qingzhi back to the courtyard.

In the end, Chu Qingzhi did not get to eat the vegetarian food that smelled especially fragrant..
