A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 59 The Second Brother's Hometown

Jin Wanliang glanced at Wu Cheng: "If you want to sell this to me now, it'll only cost 10 gold coins."

"What happens next?"

Jin Wanliang didn't answer, and Jerry made two more squeaking noises.

Wu Cheng couldn't understand the rat language, so he looked at Jin Wanliang.

"It means that the growth cycle of this red water chestnut is very short, and now is the time to harvest it, and there will be no more after that."

Wu Cheng was dumbfounded.

I've been afraid of water since I was a child and never wanted to go near water. Now I have to choose between earning 100,000 yuan and eating this treasure.

Never mind, I'll just eat it anyway.

Ten gold coins are not very meaningful to Wu Cheng now. It would be a waste to recycle them. It would be more useful for him to consume them.

Since he'd already consumed two Qi-replenishing pills worth 1 million, why would he care about this little bit? He scooped the red water lily out of the water, examined it in his hand, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "How do you eat this?"

"Just eat it, meow, or you can wash it in the water." Jin Wanliang gave Wu Cheng a disdainful look.

The following line, "wash it in the water," is probably a sarcastic jab at Wu Cheng.

However, Wu Cheng actually washed it in the water, then frowned and put the red water chestnut in his mouth. A spicy smell hit his nose, and tears streamed down Wu Cheng's face.

Jin Wanliang laughed and meowed, while Jerry chimed in, squeaking and rolling around on the ground.

Wu Cheng groaned inwardly. It seemed Jerry wasn't his pet at all, but rather Jin Wanliang's. He guessed that Jin Wanliang had only taken Jerry into the cat house because he felt lonely and bored there and needed a companion.

After finally managing to eat all the red water chestnuts, Wu Cheng hurriedly went to find water to drink.

Although Wu Cheng can eat spicy food, he can't eat anything too spicy. This time, the food he ate was too spicy, so he decided to dilute it with water.

Drinking water to relieve spiciness is wrong in the first place, and this water lily grows in water. Soaking it in water for so long has not reduced its spiciness. How can water relieve this spiciness?

As a result, Wu Cheng drank a bellyful of spicy soup and was extremely depressed.

Just then, Xiaoqin arrived carrying some household items and groceries. Seeing Wu Cheng lying on a bench, sunbathing his belly, she couldn't help but chuckle: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Cheng couldn't very well say that he had eaten water chestnuts, so he said, "I just felt that the knowledge I've learned is too diverse and too much, and it's been moldy since I haven't used it for a long time, so I took it out to air it out."

"Then you can keep drying the sun, I'll go cook for you." Xiaoqin said as she went to the kitchen.

"Don't do it anymore, I'll leave in a bit," Wu Cheng said.

"Where are we going?" Xiaoqin asked, carrying a kitchen knife.

"I need to go to the countryside."

"Going on a trip? I want to go too."

Wu Chenggang wanted to tell Xiaoqin not to go, but when he saw Xiaoqin carrying a knife and looking murderous, he thought that since this trip was also a kind of sightseeing trip, it wouldn't matter if he brought Xiaoqin along.

After making some preparations, the two left the old house and returned to the city to meet up with the second brother and the others.

We boarded a long-distance bus, which drove all the way to the second brother's hometown, Sixia.

There are many place names related to temples in Longqiu City, such as Sixia, Miaoxia, Miaohou, Dianhou, Jingtang, etc., but no one can say for sure what kind of temple or monastery it is.

However, there is verifiable evidence regarding the temple in the second brother's hometown. The temple is called Fuhu Temple. It is said that before the fall of the Nine Plains Star, there was an unnamed temple here called Shengtang Temple.

In some unknown era, a high-ranking monk came to the temple. This monk began to preach, and not only ordinary people went to listen, but also birds and beasts came to listen to the sermons.

One of the tigers would go there every day and lie under the eaves of the temple to listen to the high monk preach. After the high monk finished preaching, the tiger would leave on its own.

That's why the temple was named Fuhu Temple, and since then, the temple has become very popular and continues to this day.

The second brother always speaks of his hometown with a sense of pride, especially in front of his girlfriend, where he becomes very expressive, nodding and gesturing wildly.

Wu Cheng listened with great interest, but Jin Wanliang meowed disdainfully: "What Buddhism? This cat doesn't believe in these things. If we're talking about the authentic teachings, we have to talk about the authentic teachings of Taoism."

Wu Cheng dared not respond to such words and pretended not to hear them.

The car drove slowly, passing through bamboo forests and entering a cool, refreshing world.

It has to be said that the air quality in this place is really good. It is worlds apart from Longqiu City outside. Even Wu Cheng's old house in the suburbs is a level below this place.

Looking at the green trees and mountains outside the car, Wu Cheng couldn't help but sigh. He thought that when he had money in the future, he would also build a forest here, build a hut on the mountain, and live a life free from worldly affairs for a few days.

The only thing that annoyed Wu Cheng was his second brother, who never stopped talking.

After finally arriving at our destination and getting off the bus, we found ourselves standing by the roadside in the middle of nowhere.

"Second brother, where do you live?" Wu Cheng asked.

The second brother scratched his head and pointed to the distant mountains, saying, "It's right there. Our village is at the foot of the highest mountain, and the medicine market is located there too."

Wu Cheng suddenly felt as if thousands of alpacas were flying, their hooves stepping on his head.

"Are you kidding me? This is like trying to run a mountain only to find it too far away."

"My biggest flaw is that I'm too honest. I never brag, never lie, and I don't like to joke."

Wu Cheng couldn't hear a word the second brother said: "I'm fine, I can leave, but are you sure these two girls can come this far with us?"

The second brother laughed and said, "It's alright. I specially prepared transportation to welcome you."

Just then, a donkey cart appeared in the distance, with two donkeys pulling a flatbed cart toward Wu Cheng.

"This is the transportation you arranged?" Wu Cheng was stunned.

What era are we living in? There are still places where animal-drawn carts are used as a means of transportation.

Wu Cheng had always thought that such a pristine village had disappeared from the map long ago, but he never expected it to still exist. No wonder everyone in the dormitory called Lao Er a phoenix that flew out of the mountains.

"That's right, isn't it amazing? Let me tell you, you can't enjoy this kind of treatment anywhere else. Two little donkeys pulling a cart, in ancient times, that would be the treatment of a prime minister."

Screw that prime minister!

Wu Cheng no longer wants to be prime minister; he just wants to kill the second son.

Seeing Wu Cheng's state, the second brother quickly begged for mercy: "Brother, we're in my hometown now, you have to give me some face. I'm the only college student in the mountains, and I'm coming back with my girlfriend, it's a real triumphant return."

Xiaoqin chuckled to herself, "Brother, actually riding in a donkey cart is quite nice. These days, city people can hardly experience this kind of treatment anymore. A horse-drawn carriage ride around a scenic area costs 80 to 100 yuan."

Wu Cheng was helpless. Seeing his second son's pitiful look, he could only shrug and say, "Let's go, get in the car."
