Xu Wu saw that the situation was not right, so he bowed to the monks and said, "Masters, we are new here and do not know the rules. We did not mean to offend you, so please forgive us."
The monks remained silent. The one who had been beaten angrily said, "I've already explained the reason to you, but you refused to listen and even resorted to violence. Do you think our temple is willing to take you in? I'm just following orders and doing my duty."
Then he said to the monk, "Take them to the government office and we'll have a hearing in court!"
When Xu Si heard that he was going to be sent to the authorities, he panicked. He got into trouble before he even found Xu Jiang. If he was put in jail, when would he be able to find Xu Jiang?
Xu Wu hurriedly tugged at Xu Si, signaling him to give in. Xu Si stiffened his neck and walked over to the monk he had hit after a long while. He turned away his face and bowed reluctantly, "I made a mistake in a hurry. Please forgive me."
The monk was young and still had some spirit. Seeing that he was reluctant, he turned aside and refused to accept his greeting.
Xu Siyimao's anger suddenly rose again. Xu Wu hurriedly stepped between the two of them and bowed to the monk.
"Young Master, we were wrong. I'm sorry to apologize to you."
Then he pressed Xu Si down and bowed deeply to him.
Xu Si looked at the monks around him, changed his expression, suppressed his anger, and forced a smile to apologize.
"It's my fault. If you are still angry, just fight back."
The monk snorted coldly and said to them, "If you don't want to be sent to the government, that's fine. Just stay in the temple and wait for the doctor to come and examine you, then take you to the government office to register."
Seeing him relax, Xu Wu responded quickly, "Let the master arrange it."
The monk was still unhappy. He rolled his eyes and said, "Since you are so bored and don't want to stay in the house, then go and work. The land in the back mountain hasn't been cultivated yet, so go and help cultivate it."
Xu Si and Xu Wu shouted in unison: "Open the mountain?"
The three were taken to the back mountain.
The back mountain was turned into farmland, and many refugees and beggars were working there. Xu Twelve carried three hoes and three hatchets and followed Xu Four and Xu Five.
The two men looked at the terrain of the back mountain, exchanged glances, and secretly discussed leaving the temple and returning to the city through the small path in the mountains while no one was paying attention.
Xu Twelve whispered a few words of advice, but was glared at by Xu Si and had to shut up.
The two monks led the group to a clearing overgrown with weeds and said to the three, "Here it is. First, cut down the trees and pull out the weeds. Then, dig up the roots and turn the soil. Clear out all the tree and weed roots. Let's get started."
Xu Si glared at Xu Twelve, and then Xu Twelve slowly walked forward and started to work.
Seeing that the monks were all staring at them, Xu Si and Xu Wu had no choice but to bend down and pretend to pull a few handfuls of grass.
After the supervising monk left, Xu Si made a gesture to Xu Wu. Xu Wu understood and walked into the forest with his body hunched.
Xu Si took a few steps and saw Xu Twelve still with his butt sticking out in the grass pulling weeds, so he went up and kicked him.
"Are you digging graves? Why don't you leave?"
Xu Twelve gnawed a mouthful of grass, climbed up with difficulty, and followed the two men tiredly.
The three men were looking around furtively, but suddenly a figure emerged from the forest and ran into them.
Both sides shouted out, attracting the supervising monk.
Because he failed to escape, Xu Si was furious. He finally found an outlet to vent his frustration and started beating up anyone who bumped into him.
Feng Miao was being chased and fled into the mountains. Seeing the bright light ahead, he couldn't help but feel happy.
The orphanage is ahead!
He ran towards the bright light, but he didn't expect to collide with three daredevils who appeared out of nowhere. Before he could figure out what was going on, a barrage of fists fell on him.
He was horrified. These officers actually chased him to the orphanage?
