One Punch Monk

Chapter 25 The Ghost Story of the Stupid Kid

Green tiles on the long street, a small town in the afternoon.

The lazy sun was warming the body, the doors and windows of the shops on both sides of the street were wide open, and some vendors were sitting by the stalls in front of the door, holding various miscellaneous snacks in their hands.

Both sides of the street were bustling with people, there were passers-by and groups of people chatting on the side of the road, and hearty laughter came from time to time.

"Benefactor, how do you sell this steamed bun?"

A young monk waved to the peddler who was enjoying the shade on the steps.

The peddler hurriedly stood up, looked up, and said enthusiastically.

"Xiaolongbao five cents a drawer, how many drawers do you want?"

Shen Budu thought for a moment, although he came to visit He Taixu, a patient, but the stupid children in the hospital must also eat, and there must be more than one drawer.

"Ten drawers, two drawers of each type for the monk."

The peddler didn't take the bun, but looked at it carefully and said in surprise, "Hey, you are a master of Budu!"

"It's the little monk."

"Master Budu, last time my mother was sick, you were the one who took good care of her. Now she is much better, and she often tells me about your kindness. I can't take this money from you."

"This is not very good, let's take it."

Shen Budu was a little bit embarrassed, but the peddler insisted again and again, and finally he had to accept it, but he didn't intend to eat other people's steamed buns for nothing.

Instead, he took out a wooden sign. The wood was taken from the fox demon's grandmother's collection. It has the effect of warding off evil spirits. He has personally recited the "Truth" and enlightened it, which can keep ordinary people safe.

The peddler happily took it, and simply handed him a stacked food box to carry the buns, and asked him to return it before sunset.

Shen Budu opened the food box and took a look. It was filled with Xiaolongbao with various fillings. The Xiaolongbao was about the size of a child's fist, and there were crystal clear drops of water hanging from it.

Shen Budu's eyes lit up, he picked up a steamed bun and put it in his mouth.

He took a bite, and felt that the dough was very soft, and the filling inside was also very sweet, and he thought it would be loved by patients and children.

Walking into the medical hall, and coming to the backyard, before he could bypass the screen wall, he heard He Taixu's desperate voice inside.

"Today, there are fifteen pheasant rabbits in the same cage, and there are four full of them. How about the pheasant rabbits? I have told such a simple question several times, why don't you understand?"

He Taixu, who had paid a high hospital fee, stared angrily at the stupid kid who was squatting at his feet at this time, cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead, and beads of sweat the size of peas slid down his temples , looking very pitiful.

Like a parent tutoring homework.

Guoguo didn't cry or fuss, just widened her eyes and looked at He Taixu with eyes full of thirst for knowledge.

What a wise look.

"That... can you tell me again?"

He Taixu "jumped" to his feet and jumped to his waist.

There was really nothing he could do while supporting his waist, he sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it, that's all for today, go back and rest first."

Guoguo responded again and again, and hurriedly got up from the ground and ran out, she didn't dare to stay for a quarter of an hour longer, if she stayed a little longer, she felt that she might be directly skinned alive by He Taixu.

Just as Shen Budu walked through the threshold, He Taixu's voice sounded again.

"Oh my mother, my waist is about to break!"

Hearing He Taixu's exaggerated groans, Shen Budu almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Sure enough, seeing He Taixu's waist bent, his face was also very ugly. It is estimated that the strenuous exercise just now had hurt his waist, otherwise he wouldn't have so painful.

"Cauldron!"

Guoguo bumped into Shen Budu's body, she rubbed her nose, rubbed it, and put her nose on the food box.

"It's delicious!"

Shen Budu touched her little head and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"Chicken and Bunny are locked up! Cauldron, let's save them!"

"And then? Rescue and then think about how to eat?"

Guoguo tilted her head: "How do you know about the cauldron?"

He Taixu supported the bed and sat down, sighed deeply, and said dejectedly: "Master, Brother Wei already can't understand this child. Is it because Brother Wei can't understand, or this child really can't understand?"

Guoguo looked at Shen Budu pitifully, as if asking, am I really stupid?
In order to prevent the child's fragile and young self-esteem from being destroyed, Shen Budu agreed to the former.

"It must be that you don't understand."

"You do what you want." He Taixu was very unconvinced.

"It's not impossible."

Shen Budu knelt down, looked into Guoguo's wise eyes, and asked, "There are fifteen chickens and rabbits in total, and there are forty feet underneath. Then Guoguo, do you know how many legs the chicken has and how many feet the rabbit has?" How many feet does a rabbit have?"

"I know, chickens have two legs, and bunnies have four."

"Well, you are really smart."

The corner of He Taixu's mouth twitched, knowing how many legs chickens and rabbits have, are they very smart?
"Then let's continue. Since chickens have two legs and rabbits have four legs, let the fifteen chickens and rabbits in the cage lift up one foot, how many feet are left to stand in the cage?"

Guoguo thought for a moment and gave an affirmative answer.

"Six."

"How about lifting another one?"

"Ten."

"That's right, the chickens are all sitting on the ground now, and the rabbits are still standing on two legs, so there are only five rabbits in the cage. If you subtract five from fifteen, there are actually ten chickens, right?"

"Yes!"

"Haha, I understand, the cauldron is so powerful!"

Guoguo was very excited and stuffed five drawers of steamed buns excitedly.

He Taixu was dumbfounded, how can this problem be solved in this way?The mage is indeed a genius!

Next, it's He Taixu's rainbow fart time.

He Taixu thanked Shen Budu for his help twice.

A call gave him an epiphany on the spot, breaking through to the peak of the seventh-rank foundation-building realm of the Taoist sect.

The other time was to fish him out of the vixen.

He Taixu's gratitude is indeed beyond words, it is really too much.

Then, he mentioned another thing.

"Master, Taiping County is weird."

"what happened?"

Shen Budu was giving acupuncture to He Taixu, He Taixu turned sideways and said to him.

"Yesterday, I heard from a patient who came to the clinic that his neighbor saw the flying head and it was crazy!"

"What is Flying Touman? Is it delicious?"

Guoguo was fighting with the eighth drawer of steamed buns, and asked vaguely.

"It's a kind of ghost."

"Damn it!"

Guoguo was excited for a moment, and finally shook her head in frustration.

"I haven't seen a ghost yet, I only heard about it from my mother, but..."

She tilted her head as if thinking of something, and said in a low voice, "I've seen a ghost upper body."

"Clam?"

The topic was diverted by Guoguo successfully.

"Tell me."

"It's the husband who taught me in the private school. I often see him being possessed by ghosts."

Wait, often?
"How did you see that?"

Shen Budu stopped the needle in his hand, He Taixu also turned his head curiously, wanting to know how the stupid boy hit the ghost.

The little girl said solemnly: "Because Mr. Liu is a very gentle person to me on weekdays, but every time he is caught by a ghost, he will use his last reason to say 'I didn't mean you', and then he will change. Start training me personally."

Shen Budu's hands trembled, and he suppressed his smile.

At this moment, He Taixu beside him suddenly started shaking violently, foaming at the mouth, as if he had a seizure.

"Oops! I shook my hand just now and accidentally inserted the wrong needle!"

Shen Budu quickly pulled out the silver needle, He Taixu stopped shaking.

No, Shen Budu suddenly realized that Guoguo mentioned a person just now.

"Mr. Liu? Is that a thin, middle-aged Confucian scholar with three strands of long beard who looks very gentle?"

"Yes."

Oh. It turned out to be a private school teacher. I should visit him in the next few days.

Shen Budu got up to say goodbye, and said to He Taixu.

"You can rest here and recover from your injuries."

He Taixu felt a little disappointed, but his body was really weak, and he had to stay here for a long time to cultivate, and he really couldn't leave Taiping County for a while.

"Well, I have to stay in the hospital for a while as a brother, but these days are too boring."

But what He Taixu didn't know was that,
He won't be bored right away,
Tonight will be his,
A night of horror.
