Chapter 201 Another Duck Leg Rice



With the help of the vice president and Qing Xunzi, the problem was naturally resolved and the war ended.

In just half a day, nearly one million wild beasts were killed or injured, and even more humans were killed or injured.

The academy is close to Daxia, so the people on the border escaped. Because the Qingtian Sect is on the edge, the Goulongbang clan did not suffer many casualties. But the Nanshang and Tianmeng countries were not so lucky. Their sacrificed soldiers and civilians piled up like a mountain, and the academy teachers and adventurer elders died. These two words seem simple, but the two countries need to give countless gifts. But no matter how many things there are, they cannot be compared with the value of teachers and elders.

The wild beasts withdrew, but humans did not dare to return. It would take another ten days or half a month to clean up the bodies of the wild beasts on the border. During this time, countless refugees appeared, just like the border war with Nan Shang.

In the ruins of Linxi City, the elders of the Adventurer's Guild had already left, leaving only the students of the academy looking towards the Wild Beast Forest. Among them, Xia Xiao stood there the longest, looking thoughtful.

What methods did the master and the vice-dean use to calm the anger of the wild beast? He could hardly imagine it, but when the senior urged him again, he walked under the talisman formation and prepared to return to the academy.

It was afternoon, and even in autumn it was a bit hot. But when they returned to the academy, even the wind became gentle and cool, blowing away the restlessness of the world, taking away the bloody smell and fatigue from Xia Xiao and the others, and replacing it with a faint woody fragrance of the dark green forest, like the peach wood beside the mountain road.

This battle was easier than anyone thought, especially for the people from Daxia and the southeastern part of Nanshang, who only managed to resist the first wave of the wild beast army. This was considered a first-class mission, which was enough to keep the rest busy for nearly a month. But even if the people who stayed in the academy regretted it, it was useless. This test was originally about luck and courage. They were not brave enough, so they were not even qualified to try their luck.

After taking a few breaths of the academy's air, they finally came back to life. They were used to the water in this pond, and the air outside was dirty. Xia Xiao and the others went back to wash up, but Ah Zhu was concentrating on her fried duck leg rice. Ju Mang returned to the contract space, and she could only look for Hu Bugui.

"Master, is there lunch now?"

Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang ate egg noodles. She hadn't eaten anything yet and only drank a bowl of vegetable soup in the morning.

"Yes, I'll take you there."

"Thank you, Master."

Hu Bugui rarely shows up at the foot of the mountain, but today he brought a foreign woman to the cafeteria, which was a bit strange. But when Ah Zhu took off her worn cotton jacket, revealing her patched floral skirt, many people became excited again. Patches only represent poverty on ugly people, but on a sunny girl, they only represent seeking help and her noble and pure character.

Doudou was running on the ground, extremely excited. He looked up at Azhu and listened to her asking the master.

"Why did Ju Mang disappear under Xia Xiao's control?"

"Because Ju Mang is Xia Xiao's contracted beast, he will enter and exit the contract space under the spiritual seal."

"Can I have it in the future?"

"Not necessarily. After you finish your meal, I will take you to a good place. You will know the direction of your practice. Warriors have contracted beasts, but talisman masters do not."

"I want to be a warrior. Can Doudou be my contracted beast?"

The little yellow dog, which was only two palms in size, kept barking, as if to express its determination that it would be very fierce when it grows up. For this reason, it deliberately bared its teeth, but its teeth were not sharp, and it fell down while running, and rolled on the ground for a few rounds. Ah Zhu bent down and held its little butt with his slender palm. It shook its head and followed up happily.

"It's hard to say. We have to wait until it grows up."

Doudou, who is not a wild beast, cannot be a contracted beast, but Ah Zhu is too much looking forward to it, and Hu Bugui does not want to be so cruel to reject it. Ah Zhu does not know Hu Bugui's intention, and thinks there is hope. Suddenly, he feels that the future is bright and a bright future is ahead.

When the uncle in the cafeteria saw Hu Bugui, he reminded him that the duck leg and the braised egg on his plate were the largest, there were a lot of fresh vegetables, and the pickles and rice were plenty.

"If it's not enough, add more. I'll give you enough."

This is the canteen rule, Hu Bugui knows it, but the uncle told it to Ah Zhu. Since fifty people were eliminated some time ago, it has been much easier to prepare meals every day, and the uncle and his brothers have a lighter task. But the number of duck legs remains the same, and the spiritual contracted beasts have a good time, and today it is Ah Zhu who enjoys it.

Fearing that Ah Zhu would feel embarrassed and also for the sake of quietness, Hu Bugui took her to sit in the corner of the cafeteria. Two wooden plates with large duck legs were placed opposite each other, and the braised egg on top was split in half, giving Doudou just half.

"Eat it, you're welcome..."

Before Hu Bugui finished speaking, Ah Zhu started talking. She was not polite. Only when you are full can you have the energy to do things!

Ah Zhu put Doudou on the bench beside him. Half a boiled egg, some duck leg meat and rice were his hearty lunch. When he was in the village, Doudou had never eaten such good food except during festivals. Seeing that he was enjoying his meal, Ah Zhu also began to enjoy his first lunch in the academy.

There is no free lunch in the world. She has eaten the meal here, and she will remember this kindness whether she stays in the college or not.

The duck legs were fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but a little hard. Young people have good teeth, so they like to gnaw on something.

Ah Zhu was reluctant to finish the duck leg directly, it was too fragrant, so she took a bite of the meat, ate several mouthfuls of rice, and then ate some pickled radish with red oil. She repeated this process over and over again, and when she finished the meal, there was still half of the big duck leg left in her hand. She held the duck leg with both hands and bit off the fried crispy joints and bones, not wasting anything.

In Hu Bugui's mind, all the girls who came to the college ate elegantly. The duck leg rice was their nightmare. It was big and hard to chew. They had to use their hands to chew it, but it would be embarrassing. So, they all took it back to the dormitory. Some of them didn't even eat it, or only took a few bites of the meat. They didn't understand the fragrance of the meat on the bone, but Ah Zhu could experience it.

Although Ah Zhu was not very elegant, she did not eat in a hurry. She chewed very slowly, as if she did not want to miss any fragrance between her teeth.

"Master, why don't you eat?"

This girl, she only thought of me after she finished eating? Hu Bugui smiled and shook his head, pushing the duck leg rice in front of him forward. It seemed that his expression was not obvious enough.

"I don't want to eat this, you eat more."

Although Ah Zhu was greedy, she also wanted to add more rice, some pickled radish and red oil, but not the duck leg. She was afraid that if she ate too much, others would have nothing. Her grandmother taught her that people should not be greedy and should think about others. So even if Hu Bugui insisted, she did not take the plate over, but just took her clean plate to add more rice.

"Uncle, give me some rice."

The uncle who was reading a book by the window smiled even more when he saw how clean she ate.

"Well, does it suit your taste?"

"Mmmm, the duck legs are super delicious. Even though they are fried, they are not greasy at all."

"If you like it, have another one."

Ah Zhu waved her hand quickly, she could eat, but she couldn't do this. The uncle saw this and had some good feelings for the girl who had just arrived, so he handed over the wooden plate persistently.

"Don't worry, the academy doesn't need a duck leg."

Ah Zhu looked back at Hu Bugui, who nodded, and then she took the wooden tray and bowed deeply. This action scared the uncle. This girl was so unfamiliar, she must have been recruited as a special case. She was a top person, a dragon among dragons. He couldn't bear this courtesy, so he pointed to the thermos basin on the side, hesitating for a long time, and then said:

"It's not enough, there's more."

Ah Zhu said quickly that it was enough, and if he added more, he would not be able to finish it. Farmers' children value food the most, just as the emperor's children do not know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

"Master, the people in the academy are so nice."

"Is it good enough to give you food?"

Ah Zhu refused to eat the food in front of him, so Hu Bugui started to eat it himself. With his few remaining teeth, he could hardly chew the duck leg. But the taste remained the same, still so fragrant.

A hundred years ago, he repeatedly attacked the talisman array above the academy to get in, and then he lay exhausted in the square. After waking up, the teacher told him that he could become a member of the academy. He was very excited and went to the cafeteria under the guidance of the teacher, eating dozens of plates of duck leg rice in one breath. Thinking of that considerate teacher, who has been buried in the mountains, he couldn't help but sigh that time flies!

The plate was placed in a corner, and Ah Zhu wiped the table and chairs. She was full of energy, touched her slightly bulging belly, and said to the uncle in the cafeteria that she would see him in the evening. The uncle had never encountered such treatment before, and he was a little flattered.

When they left the cafeteria, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang came over. They had changed their clothes and looked natural, not as tired as they had just been through the war. They had eaten egg noodles before, so they were not here to eat. When they saw Hu Bugui, they saluted and were extremely respectful.

"Senior, can Ah Zhu stay?"

Ah Zhu hugged Doudou, and didn't expect that they would care about him so much. But if it weren't for that bowl of egg noodles, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang really wouldn't have been so idle.

"Her situation is special, and the vice president needs to make the decision personally."

Speaking of the vice president, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang could only look up at the top of the mountain, but the top of the mountain was too high, how could they get up there? Although Hu Bugui had the ability to reach the sky, he could only walk to the middle of the mountain. It should be said that now, except for the eldest sister, everyone else could only walk to the middle of the mountain. It was difficult to get to the top of the mountain, and it was difficult to get down after getting up there.

While Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang looked up, Ah Zhu had been led out of the extremely low cafeteria by Hu Bugui and walked towards the square in front of the Qingwa Building. He was going to find the senior sister, because only she could directly meet the vice president. Hu Bugui was somewhat expectant, and Xia Xiao, Shu Shuang, and more people who knew about it were also waiting for the ending. What kind of magic did this seemingly pretty girl have that made the academy make an exception and accept her as a disciple?

With the aroma of duck leg rice all over his body, Ah Zhu strolled in the woods and couldn't help asking his master, "Where are we going? Why are there no fallen leaves in the peach forest? Why is this mountain road straight ahead?"

"Can you see that this mountain road is straight?"

Ah Zhu looked at it several times and nodded after he found it was straight. This mountain road is not only straight, but also vertical. But if it is a road, how can it be vertical? It would be very tiring to walk on it. Ah Zhu did not ask this question because it was too stupid. But Hu Bugui secretly marveled, this is a true genius!
