Chapter 71 Peanut Porridge
After Wu You finished speaking, he saw that everyone was silent and somewhat doubtful. He felt that his storytelling skills were not bad, so why did they all have this expression?
When you're out and about, you have to choose your own identity, and Wu You has no guilt about it at all.
"Moreover, Buddhism also says, 'One flower, one world; one realm, one Bodhi.' Li Lianhua and the other person both know this. You can ask them if you don't believe me," Wu You shifted the blame.
"Li Lianhua, is what Wu You said true?" Compared to Wu You, Fang Duobing was more willing to believe Li Lianhua.
Yun Biqiu and the other two also looked at Li Lianhua, wanting to hear if this was true.
Li Lianhua found Wu You's behavior somewhat amusing; she had never heard of such things before and was unsure how to prove it. However, she couldn't expose Wu You's mistake, so she could only agree, "That's indeed the case."
"It's actually true." Fang Duobing was somewhat incredulous; such an outrageous thing was actually true.
Yun Biqiu and his companions were also quite excited. They had learned such important information during this trip, making it all worthwhile.
Wu You observed their expressions without uttering a word. If it were truly a world secret, how could it be so easily known? Wu You was essentially reintroducing them a false concept of the universe.
"Afei, is what Wu You just said true?" Fang Duobing wanted to find a third party who knew the situation to ask.
"Hmm." Di Feisheng originally didn't want to respond, but Li Lianhua's hand was on his back. If he didn't do as Wu You said, he was afraid he would be slapped. So he could only reluctantly agree. Who knew what Wu You was talking about?
Everyone present was very excited to receive the confirmation.
Only Fang Duobing looked heartbroken: "How could I not know about something so important? Weren't we together?"
“Yes, Miss Wu, I noticed that Fang Duobing is quite close to you, and he also lives in this Lotus Pavilion. Why doesn’t he know this?” Yun Biqiu was also puzzled.
“Yes, Fang is sickly and won’t stay at Baichuan Hospital, but he came to live in this Lotus Pavilion at the foot of this mountain. There must be some reason for that,” Jiang Baihe chimed in.
Wu You stood up and patted Fang Duobing on the shoulder.
"You're still in your probationary period, so naturally I can't tell you anything casually. If it weren't for the presence of the three deans today, you wouldn't be able to get involved in these matters right now."
"Is it true? Does that mean I can also pursue the true meaning of the world with you in the future and unveil its mysteries?"
Fang Duobing was somewhat excited. It seemed that they had not abandoned him, and he could become one of them.
"Of course. Look at the mask on your waist. It's a token we gave you. Once you truly become one of us, you can wear it."
Wu You pointed to the little white dog mask on Fang Duobing's waist, reminding Fang Duobing.
Fang Duobing reached out and took off the mask: "So this has such a deep meaning. I didn't think of it before, and I even felt a little disgusted by it."
Looking at the mask that Fang Duobing kept hanging on his waist, which he hadn't taken off even after changing his clothes several times, Yun Biqiu thought it was pretty much the truth.
However, that matter is not important for now; Bhikkhu Yun has not forgotten the main purpose of his visit today.
He slowly walked to Li Lianhua's side, stared at her for a long time, and then spoke.
"Dr. Li, do we know each other? Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"
It's time for Li Lianhua to showcase her acting skills again.
Li Lianhua sat up from the rocking chair, stared at Yun Biqiu, and asked with a serious expression: "Have you met him before?"
Bhikkhu Yun affirmed, "That's right."
Li Lianhua guessed, "Could it be... that Abbot Yun has met my brother?"
"Your elder brother?" Cloud Bhikkhu asked, puzzled.
Li Lianhua stood up abruptly, grabbed Yun Biqiu's arms, and asked with some excitement, "Have you really met my brother?"
This action drew everyone's attention to the two of them. Seeing the others looking over, Li Lianhua awkwardly released Yun Biqiu's arm.
"Excuse me, Abbot Yun. Yes, I do have a twin brother. My mother named him Li Lianpeng and Li Lianhua. Lianpeng is the older brother, and I am the younger brother."
“We grew up in poverty. My older brother was taken away by an old man shortly after he was born and became his adopted son. I have never seen him since then.”
"However, I've also heard that my brother, the lotus seedpod, is very powerful. So there are people in this world who look like me."
Yun Biqiu chuckled, somewhat doubtful: "Li Lianpeng?"
Li Lianhua swore: "It's absolutely true, I never lie."
Jiang Baihe and the others exchanged glances. Yun Biqiu spoke again: "But Doctor Li, since you are from a poor family, I see that this Lotus Pavilion has an ingenious structure, exquisite carvings, and many mechanisms inside. It must be very valuable. Where did you get it?"
"It's just called Lotus Pavilion. I didn't build it; it was a gift from someone else."
"Who gave it to you?"
"That's not something I can say."
"It seems the person who gave it to you is very generous, giving away such a nice building. It seems he treats you very well."
"Of course."
"By the way, seeing that Doctor Li is weak, I specially asked someone to buy some peanut porridge from Zuijianglou to help him recover. Doctor Li, please try some."
Yun Bhikkhu took a bowl of peanut porridge from the food box and handed it to Li Lianhua.
This old man, as expected, had no intention of letting Li Lianhua go.
"Thank you for your kindness, Abbot Yun, but I have just had dinner, so I won't accept it," Li Lianhua politely declined.
"This is just dessert. If you don't eat it, Dr. Li, you'll be letting down my good intentions." Yun Biqiu handed the bowl to Li Lianhua again.
Just as Li Lianhua was about to take the bowl of peanut porridge, Wu You stood up, strode over, and snatched the peanut porridge away.
"Didn't I tell you not to overeat? Your body is weak, and you can't eat cold food. Besides, you should avoid eating foreign food, or you might be poisoned without even knowing it."
Wu You spoke to Li Lianhua as if no one else existed.
