Chapter 72 Peanut Porridge Even Dogs Wouldn't Eat
Ignoring everyone else, Wu You carried the peanut porridge to Fang Duobing's side and asked in a very soft voice, loud enough for everyone present to hear.
"Fang Duobing, is your Baichuan Academy very poor?"
"Baichuan Academy is quite wealthy, where did you see that it was poor?" Fang Duobing really didn't understand.
“Look, this is it.” Wu You held up the peanut porridge for him to see.
"Peanut porridge? What does that mean?"
"I'm asking you, would you bring a bowl of cold peanut porridge to visit a sick person, to help them recover?"
"How could that be? Not to mention bringing a table full of good food, we should at least bring some medicinal herbs. How can porridge nourish the body?"
"Let me ask you again, when you visit someone you don't know well, you should bring some gifts on your first visit, right?"
"Of course. Even if you're not very familiar with each other, the host will still make time to meet you because of the gift."
"So that's it. I thought your Baichuan Academy was so poor that all you had left was a bowl of peanut porridge."
"This...this isn't...I'm not really sure about this either." Fang Duobing scratched his head, speechless at the behavior of the deans.
Meanwhile, Yun Biqiu, Jiang Baihe, and Ji Hanfo, who were standing nearby, felt somewhat ashamed after Wu You's words, realizing that they had indeed been rather careless in bringing the items they had brought on this trip.
If no one had said it, it would have been fine, but Wu You said it in a very soft voice, but everyone could hear it.
Wu You didn't tolerate them and shouted loudly, "Fox spirit, fox spirit, where have you gone? Come back quickly!"
This little yellow dog always runs around wildly after finishing its meal, disappearing from sight completely.
Before long, a yellow figure came speeding along the ground and stopped at Wu You's feet.
"Are you hungry from running around? Here's a snack." Wu You placed the bowl of peanut porridge on the ground next to the fox spirit's feet: "Eat up." He then patted the dog's head.
Wu You's actions stunned everyone, infuriating Yun Biqiu, Jiang Baihe, and Ji Hanfo, who pointed at Wu You, wanting to say something but not knowing where to begin.
The fox spirit thought that someone calling it back would bring good fortune. It sniffed the contents of the bowl, found the smell unpleasant, took a lick, and, finding it unpalatable, turned and ran back into the woods to continue playing.
Wu You saw the fox spirit only lick it once before running away, and without thinking much of it, guessed it probably didn't taste good. He simply took the bowl to a nearby tree, threw the bowl and porridge under the tree. It would still serve a purpose; it could become fertilizer for the tree.
Wu You turned around and saw that everyone in front of the Lotus Pavilion was staring at him. Wu You was not afraid at all: "What's the point of keeping something that even a dog wouldn't eat?"
"Fang Duobing, when you buy groceries in the future, don't buy anything with peanuts. Even fox spirits don't eat that, so it probably doesn't taste very good either."
Wu You wanted to tell Yun Biqiu and the other two that next time they came, they shouldn't bring peanut cakes or peanut candy again, and that they should cut off the source of the problem altogether.
"Oh, okay. But..." But why am I the one buying groceries? Fang Duobing was puzzled, but dared not ask.
"Dr. Li, since you are still unwell, we will not disturb you any longer. Farewell."
Yun Biqiu, Jiang Baihe, and Ji Hanfo felt that the atmosphere here was very unfriendly to them. They could not stay for even a moment longer, so they got up to say goodbye, picked up the Junior Master Sword, and hurriedly left.
Compared to the leisurely pace of their arrival, their return now resembled a fox spirit chasing after them.
Today's outcome was a defeat for Buddha.
"Youyou, thank you so much for today. I know that they came here today just for me."
Li Lianhua was truly grateful to Wu You. Apart from the problems she herself had created that put her in a difficult position, Wu You ignored anyone else who showed even the slightest bit of hostility towards her.
“You really should thank them. If it weren’t for Wu You, you wouldn’t have been able to take action against the people who came today, and you would have suffered some losses in silence.” Di Feisheng was still somewhat resentful about Li Lianhua’s threats to him earlier.
"What are you talking about? Li Lianhua, why are the three deans here for you?" Fang Duobing, who was out of the loop, was a little confused.
"Don't ask too many questions about the organization; you'll find out later." Having finally successfully fooled Fang Duobing, Wu You felt a great sense of accomplishment.
The next day was another good day for petting the dog. Wu You hugged the fox spirit, who had been bathed by Li Lianhua, and petted her back and forth until she was so comfortable that she lay on the ground and dozed off.
Wu You petted the dog only when the fox spirit had just taken a bath; its fur was all puffed up, making it look clean and adorable. If he didn't see it for a while, it must have gone off to play in the woods.
When it returned, its fur was covered in dust, with many thorns from the forest clinging to it. It shook itself, sending the whole dog flying into a cloud of dust, making it impossible to get any closer.
As he was petting her, he saw Qiao Wanmian and Xiao Zijin heading towards the Lotus Pavilion. Wu You immediately dropped the vixen and stood up. He shook off the dog hair sticking to his body before running towards Qiao Wanmian.
The fox spirit peeked at the fickle man, but didn't react, then continued to close her eyes and doze off in the sun.
"Sister A-Mian, you've come! Did you come to see me?"
Wu You ran towards Qiao Wanmian, ran to the other side, and took her arm.
Seeing Wu You's extremely skilled movements, Xiao Zijin wanted to tear it open herself, but she refrained.
"What kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging in public? Let go right now."
Wu You hid behind Qiao Wanmian, saying, "Sister Wanmian, Xiao Daxia is so fierce, I'm so scared." As she spoke, Wu You covered her chest, indicating that she was really frightened by Xiao Zijin.
Qiao Wanmian reached out and patted Wu You, then turned to Xiao Zijin: "Watch your words, you scared Youyou."
Xiao Zijin was so angry she stammered, "I...she..."
Wu You and Qiao Wanmian walked towards the Lotus Pavilion together. Wu You turned around and gave Xiao Zijin a smug smile.
Xiao Zijin was so angry she almost jumped up and down: "You...you just wait."
"Waaah, Sister A-Mian, Master Xiao... he threatened me, I'm scared." Wu You covered her face and cried, wiping away the tears that hadn't yet come out with her sleeve.
Qiao Wanmian glanced at Wu You helplessly, and Xiao Zijin said, "Zijin, don't be like this."
Seeing Wu You complaining to her face, Xiao Zijin disliked the person who had taken her A-Mian even more.
