Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

"Okay, you don't want to eat vegetarian food anymore?" Chen Xuyan looked at Wei Siqi who had been sitting on the steps in a daze for who knows how long.

Wei Siqi's expression was still full of indignation. "I am their master, why would they lie to me?"

Chen Xuyan did not directly answer his question, "So in your eyes, I am also your slave?"

"That's not what I meant!" Wei Siqi waved his hand.

"You and I have been classmates for many years, and you are still my good friend. I have never looked down on your family."

He was a little surprised why Chen Xuyan asked this?

Chen Xuyan sat down beside him and handed him two wild fruits. "They are the same as me. They are not your family's slaves. Didn't you say that your father was only cooperating with them temporarily? This cooperation will eventually come to an end. I think your father must have wanted to recruit them, but failed. Now it seems like some kind of deal has been reached."

Wei Siqi was a little surprised. "You mean, they don't want to stay in our house at all? Then what are their identities?"

This is very strange. Even though they are so rich, they still don't like me? Then what kind of master do they want to choose?

Chen Xuyan shook his head. "I don't know their identities, but I think their skills are no less than Brother Shu's. Every move they make is like that of trained soldiers, perhaps even veterans of the battlefield."

Jin Yonghuai, who was eavesdropping in the corner, quietly took two steps back with the two bowls of vegetarian food in his hands.

"Have you been to the battlefield? But, but our last battle was five years ago. The civilians and soldiers who lost their land were buried alive by the barbarians. How could anyone survive?" Wei Siqi's face was filled with disbelief.

This incident also made the people very disappointed in the court, but the emperor kept using the excuse that the treasury money had to be used for disaster relief and that he was unable to afford the military expenses. In fact, everyone knew that the reason for not recovering the lost land was simply because the court felt that this place was remote, mostly desert, and useless, and it was lost.

They completely disregard the disappointment and frustration of the common people.

Not to mention the money for disaster relief. After going through layers of exploitation, when we arrived at the real disaster-stricken areas, let alone helping them rebuild their houses, it would be great if they could even have a bowl of porridge as thin as water.

But it seems that these people did come to his house more than four years ago, but they were rarely seen in the past few years. His father only let them do important things and would not let them interfere in other matters.

He felt a little strange when he saw Li Wentao and the others for the first time.

what on earth is it?

Chen Xuyan took a bite of the wild fruit and grimaced at the sour taste. "Tsk, don't eat it either. It's sour."

"This is just a guess. What can I, an ordinary scholar from a farming family, know?"

"Are you still an ordinary person? You are the only scholar in our Houyun City for several years. How many people envy you?" Wei Siqi also took a bite of the wild fruit.

He immediately threw it into the mud, "So sour, I thought you were lying to me."

"Let's go eat vegetarian food. There are so many people coming to Guangyun Mountain. I'm afraid we won't have anything to eat later."

Chen Xuyan stood up and patted the mud off his clothes, "Let's go."

—Outside the hospital

"Hey, where have you been? We finished eating a long time ago and have been looking for you for a long time." Jin Yonghuai handed over the two bowls of vegetarian rice in his hand.

Chen Xuyan took it and said, "Thank you."

"Thank you." Wei Siqi was almost starving to death.

He no longer cared about his appearance at this moment. He just picked up the food and followed them, eating as he walked.

Wei Siqi glanced at the room they were staying in. "Why are we living in such a remote place? This place is so sloppy, the quilt is moldy."

Fortunately, the house was cleaned.

Chen Xuyan put the vegetarian meal back on the table and said, "It rained a few days ago, so it's not surprising that the quilt is damp. We can just take it out to dry in the sun later."

He lifted the quilt and took a look, "It's not mold, it's just damp."

"How would I know? I've never seen a moldy quilt, only moldy fruits. They smell almost the same." Wei Siqi sat on the stool indifferently.

He looked back at the door, "Where's Jin Yonghuai? What's he doing?"

"They said they were going for a walk and didn't know when they would be back. The other two were going too, and they even took my brother with them." The vegetarian meal tasted really good, and the ingredients were very fresh.

It seems that Guangyun Temple is quite generous in its purchases, probably because of the large amount of money from incense offerings.

In a short while, they both finished eating.

Wei Siqi felt that all the fatigue in his body had dissipated a lot.

"Let me tell you, I just heard them say that Guangyun Temple is very spiritual. It seems that it suddenly started about a year ago. Several noble ladies in the capital came here to pray for children and they all succeeded. There are also young ladies who came here to pray for marriage and they all succeeded in marrying into high-ranking families."

His voice gradually faded as he spoke. "I've heard that even the royal family comes here to pay their respects."

However, the abbot of this mountain is really a good person. He did not prohibit ordinary people like them from going up the mountain to worship, and the accommodation fee he charged them was not high. Compared with the ordinary guest rooms in the capital at the foot of the mountain, it was much cheaper.

Have a little conscience.

Chen Xuyan nodded and said, "Is this mountain the highest mountain around the capital?"

"Yes." Wei Siqi was a little confused about what his focus was.

How did we get to the highest mountain?

"Then do you know where the tallest tree on this mountain is?" Chen Xuyan looked at him seriously.

"Are you kidding me?" It was the first time that Wei Siqi saw Chen Xuyan joking seriously.

How come even his jokes sound like serious matters?

Chen Xuyan shook his head firmly, "This matter is very important to me."

......

"It's so hard to find. Why is it on the top of the mountain? I'm really afraid of falling down and dying." Fortunately, there is no one on the top of the mountain, otherwise if someone passed by and just brushed against it, something would be wrong.

The mountain is too steep and the rocks are not solid. It's really strange how the tree can grow so tall.

No wonder Guangyun Mountain is so legendary.

Before Wei Siqi could catch up with Chen Xuyan, he had already turned around and was about to go down.

"Let's go, we're done." Chen Xuyan took the 'letter'.

Wei Siqi looked bewildered. "Is it something important? Are you done with it?"

He clearly didn't see anything. He just saw him squatting under a tree and digging something for a while, but he couldn't see clearly what it was.

"Let's go quickly, the wind is strong on this mountain." The wind made him shiver.

The sun was shining, but the wind was quite strong.

......

"Buddha bless me, may I soon become rich and powerful, so that I won't have to study anymore."

"May my father, mother, and grandmother be safe and live a long life."

"May Chen Xuyan pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official soon."
