Chapter 277 Where did these big ground rats come from!
Each of them has sharp front claws, pointed teeth, is fat, and moves quickly.
The key is more!
Hundreds and thousands!
In the valleys, they can be found on trees, and on the treetops.
Everyone was stunned.
"What is this?" Sanbao asked. He had never seen it before.
Liao Huaiyu also shook his head, "I don't know either."
The two fat monks didn't know either.
Xiao Yuanbao was even more confused.
It was still the fortune teller Liu who had the insider's opinion. "It seems to be a kind of gopher. This kind of gopher is very large and has tender meat. It is usually a favorite food of wealthy people. I have seen them before when I visited wealthy people's homes, but this is the first time I have seen so many of these big ones."
Little Yuanbao shouted, "Where did you come from, you big rats? Why are you destroying the people's food supply? Why don't you leave immediately?"
The moles moved in a rustling manner again.
This time he went into the cave again.
Because the little white hair was in a hole and came out.
The fur is full of holes and the body is covered with dust and leaves.
As soon as Little White Hair came out, the big ground rats went in again.
As soon as the little white-haired boy went in, they came out again.
They were so agile that Little White Hair couldn't catch even one.
The two fat monks were quick and caught two. However, as soon as they caught the gophers, the other gophers came over and surrounded them, biting them so that they had to let go.
Monks cannot kill, and they dare not really kill them.
Liao Huaiyu and Sanbao both stood there without moving.
The sister didn't move, and they didn't move.
Little Yuanbao said, "Don't fight! Don't fight! Let's go ask them why they are staying here."
She had already seen that although the ground rats were scared, they had no intention of leaving.
"Tell me, why don't you leave? Why do you steal the food grown by the farmers?"
“Chichichi!”
“Woof woof woof!”
…
After a chaotic exchange.
The big ground rats couldn't understand what Xiao Yuanbao said, but through translation into dog language, the two sides finally communicated with each other.
Little Yuanbao tilted his cute little head, "The big ground rats said that you, Daye Temple, have captured their leader. They want to go into Daye Temple to rescue him, but they can't get in. They can only wait here and ask you, Daye Temple, to release their leader! They left immediately..."
"What? Why is Daye Temple catching groundhogs? Are you mistaken? Daye Temple is a place where people observe fasts!" replied witch Liu.
She eats fast every day and her mouth is almost dry.
The two strong monks looked at each other and said, "Let's ask the abbot, maybe it's possible. Because today is the beginning of the fasting festival, many nobles will come to Daye Temple to burn incense and eat. However, some nobles cannot eat real fasting meals, so they will bring some food with them and cook it just for them, pretending to be vegetarians. Of course, this is the treatment only for the biggest pilgrims in Daye Temple, not for ordinary people, ahem!"
"Our temple spends too much money on incense and oil every year. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, we provide free meals to the poor, and we also provide free medical treatment and alms to the poor, etc. We are unable to make ends meet, so we have to make concessions on a case-by-case basis..."
Two strong monks explained.
Xiao Yuanbao and the others are not loyal fans or defenders of any Buddhist sect, so they just said "oh" twice.
"Then go back and ask if they caught the mole..."
"Hurry back! If you're late, you'll probably be in trouble!"
A strong monk ran back to the temple first.
There was only one left, so he carried the small ingot back with him.
When Xiao Yuanbao and the others arrived at Daye Temple, they learned that they had indeed found a giant ground rat.
It was brought by the owner of a big trading company in the county.
The chef in the backyard was just about to bleed the rat, but the rat was very ferocious and started fighting with the chef in the backyard. It took a few monks working together to subdue it. Then they heard that reinforcements had arrived from outside the temple to rescue it.
During the fight, the groundhog was injured, and Abbot Huiqing came out personally to treat its wounds and compensate it.
The ground rat bared its teeth.
Very fierce.
Not leaving yet!
Until Xiao Yuanbao and the others came back.
Little Yuanbao asked, "Why don't you leave yet? Your brothers are waiting for you in Shanwowo!"
This big gopher is much bigger than the group of gophers that Xiao Yuanbao and her friends saw in the valley!
Bigger than Little White Hair!
A gopher this big looks like a piglet.
But it is much more ferocious than a piglet.
Given its appearance, someone still dares to catch it and eat it. He must be a ruthless person.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" The big ground rat was rolling and playing at the gate of Daye Temple, making a squeaking sound.
Fortunately, it is the back door and there are not many pilgrims.
But it also has a bit of a provocative meaning.
"Little White Hair, what did it say?"
Little White Hair, "Woof!!"
Dog Translator is online again.
There were bursts of chirping and barking.
Little Yuanbao understood what it meant. "You accuse Daye Temple of murder? Is Daye Temple morally flawed? You want to punish the monk who wanted to kill you? Abbot, you guys decide..."
This is not within her scope of business.
No one expected that a mere gopher could be so vengeful!
They all looked at the presiding abbot at the same time.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the favoritism in Daye Temple was exposed, and the abbot Huiqing was somewhat embarrassed.
He had no choice but to agree, "Okay, all the monks in the kitchen who were involved in this matter will be beaten with ten sticks."
There are martial monks in Daye Temple, and the ten sticks they use are real sticks, not just fancy ones.
Ten beatings with the cane are enough to keep a monk bedridden for several days.
The big ground rat that was playing around on the ground stopped making noise.
He stopped, with a ferocious look on his face and his eyeballs rolling around.
It's like weighing the pros and cons.
"Chirp, chirp!" It seemed as if he was still unwilling.
The little white-haired boy looked at it impatiently, "Woof woof woof!"
Host Huiqing asked, "What is it saying?"
Little Yuanbao replied, "It said it doesn't trust you bald donkeys, and asked you to beat it in front of it. Our little white-haired one scolded it for being ungrateful, and said that you people in Daye Temple keep your word, and asked it not to go too far and push its luck..."
People...
I feel that this pet is so caring.
Compared to those messy and ferocious beasts, they are much more sensible.
Today is the day of fasting in Daye Temple. There are many pilgrims in the temple. It is definitely not appropriate to use the caning here as it will attract onlookers and damage the reputation of Daye Temple. Also, if the monks in charge of the kitchen are beaten with the cane, they will all get out of bed. Who will prepare the fasting meals for so many people?
The punishment will be completed today.
Since the abbot has promised the Earth Rat in public, he will certainly fulfill his promise instead of arguing at this critical juncture.
If we really want to talk about being punished, then in fact he should be punished as well, because the monks who prepare meals in the kitchen are just doing their job.
They, the people in power, turned a blind eye and that’s why what happened today happened.
"After today's incident, our Daye Temple will definitely conduct self-examination and punishment. Not only will the monk who cooks the food be punished, but our abbot will also be punished together, so that it can rest assured! If it is worried, you can let it stay here. After the fasting day, let it watch the beating, and then it can leave." Huiqing presided over the Aikido.
Little White Hair translated it.
The big ground rat didn't want to stay in Daye Temple any longer and bared his teeth fiercely at the little white-haired boy.
