As the monks were on their way to the canteen, Yu Tong looked around but didn't see a single Buddha statue.
However, there are many low stone statues on both sides of the road.
They were stone statues that were round and baby-sized, with hideous and ferocious faces, and they didn't look like good people at all.
Even the system came to its senses at this time and realized that this temple was definitely not a formal place.
A group of monks had already been sitting in the cafeteria. They were eating quietly and occasionally gathered together to chat in low voices.
Yu Tong has never been to other temples, so he doesn't know if all temples are similar to the staff canteen.
In the pure white cafeteria, there are a bunch of long black tables and chairs, and in the front is a row of food windows.
The monks took their white ceramic lunch boxes and lined up at the window to get their meals.
Chen Yanli was very unsociable and always stood far away from the crowd. He was even the last one in line to get food.
When Brother Chen was getting his meal, Yu Tong deliberately took a look outside.
Tofu, cabbage, eggplant, and beans are indeed all vegetarian.
The rice was normal rice, without any trace of meat.
The young monk who was serving food was very friendly. When he saw a rabbit head sticking out of Brother Fachen's arms, he specially took out a few unprocessed vegetable leaves and gave them to him to feed the rabbit.
Chen Yanli's reaction remained cold.
He took the lettuce leaf expressionlessly, turned around and was about to leave.
The little monk, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said, "Brother, the deadline is the day after tomorrow. Have you found the child you lost?"
Chen Yanli seemed not to hear his words and continued walking forward with an expressionless face.
Yu Tong's heart sank.
Brother Fachen couldn't hear this, but all the monks should know about it.
Perhaps some people are not thoughtful enough and occasionally forget that Fachen cannot hear.
But every "careless" person they met seemed to like to speak to him only when Chen Yanli looked away and could not see their mouth movements.
The fat monk is one, and so is the little monk who serves food.
Yu Tong wasn't sure if he was overthinking it, or if these seemingly friendly monks were really using this method to test whether Senior Brother Fachen could hear him.
Seeing the host, who was full of ulterior motives, start to sigh, the system panicked. [Is there something wrong with these monks? Is the situation really bad?]
Yu Tong nodded, "There's a problem, it's not good. Brother Chen, being targeted by all the monks, is no different from a wolf hiding among the sheep."
[Alas, falling to the wolves... Wait, did you say that the other way around?]
"Brother Chen has a strong desire for revenge. If no one stops him, he will kill everyone here once he finds the opportunity. By then, there's no telling how much the deviation value will drop."
"If the deviation value drops below 0, he will be punished by the main system. -20 means he is mute, and -30 is probably really deaf."
"I calculated that if we killed all these people, the deviation value would probably be over negative 80. How can I, a fragile little white rabbit the size of a palm, take care of my old man who is paralyzed, blind, deaf and mute?"
【……Hold. 】
Chapter 65 The Third World (2)
Perhaps to play up his deaf-mute persona, Chen Yanli ate quietly and ignored anyone who came to talk to him.
Yu Tong relied on the fact that he was just a little bastard. After eating the lettuce fed by the villain, he jumped and wandered around on the long table.
Chen Yanli, who was eating with his head down, glanced at him subtly but did not reach out to stop him.
The fat monk who had eaten melons with me under the tree in the afternoon was also sitting at this long table. He was lowering his head and whispering with a skinny monk who was a little older.
Yu Tong skipped over to him, eating the remaining carrot cubes in his bowl while eavesdropping with his snow-white ears.
He arrived a little late, and their conversation was nearing its end.
I could only hear what they seemed to be saying. The reason Junior Brother Fachen became deaf and dumb was because he had let the boy go, angering the heavens. Master asked the gods and Buddhas to punish him.
The fat monk and the old monk both felt sorry for Junior Brother Fachen, but they also felt that it was his fault and could not plead for him.
I just hope Fachen can find the little boy he lost within the stipulated time. If God blames him again, Fachen might lose his life.
Yu Tong munched on diced carrots and turned to look at Chen Yanli.
There were more than a dozen seats between the villain and the fat monk, and a few young monks were sitting in the middle and talking.
Even if Chen Yanli's ears were fine, he wouldn't be able to hear the conversation between the fat monk and the other person.
This shows that the fat monk didn't say these words intentionally for Chen Yanli to hear.
He and the old monk beside him were really worried that Junior Brother Fachen would be punished by God for not being able to find the boy.
A question mark slowly floated in Yu Tong's mind.
If the monks really cared about Chen Yanli, why did they test whether he could hear before?
Wait, if the boy can’t be found within the specified time, Brother Chen will die?
Yu Tong remembered that when he was serving food just now, the little monk in charge of serving food seemed to have said that the day after tomorrow was the deadline.
Most of the day has passed, and there is only one day left tomorrow.
Yu Tong rubbed his ears irritably.
The start of this dungeon was so rushed that he had no time to figure out the situation and was pushed around by the plot the whole time.
The two monks were touched by the little rabbit's actions. While chatting, they also hugged Yu Tong in their arms and touched him.
The fat monk sighed, "Junior Brother Fachen is too soft-hearted and can't judge people well."
The old monk put down his chopsticks and shook his head in agreement, "He couldn't bear to see others cry. I heard that he let the child go because the woman cried and begged him to save her child."
"That's what I heard too. That female donor is just messing around. Her family sent her here for treatment, and we were kind enough to help her, but she always thinks we're going to harm her and even calls us evil monks."
"How many patients are awake? It's a pity for Junior Brother Fachen. He won't even be able to recite sutras in the future."
