Chapter 364 If You Starve to Death, Don't Eat the Food That Comes with Lamentation

"Gulu."

"Gulu."

"Miao!"

"Awoo!"

Three days later, in the lobby of an inn called Laifu in White Ridge City, Great Xia Liao Prefecture.

Xu Han and Chu Chouli held a steamed bun, while Xuan'er and Aowu held a steamed bun.

However, none of them had the intention to swallow. They all turned to look at the old man at the side table, their eyes wide open and their throats squirming.

Compared to the four pitiful little dinners, the food on the old man's table could be said to be extremely luxurious.

A bowl of delicious roasted pork, a plate of steamed fish that sold well, and two steamed chicken drumsticks. The old man was eating as if no one else was watching, and he was still unaware of the four gazes he had given him.

"That" Chu Chouli carefully moved his head over and licked his face. "Old Master, can you finish eating so many things?"

Master Wei , who was enjoying his meal, raised his head to look at Chu Chouli and said with a smile, "Brother Chu, to tell you the truth, this old man's body has no growth. It is precisely this old man's appetite that is astonishingly good. An old man who is proficient in medicine once said that with my appetite, I can live until all my old friends die."

As Master Wei spoke, he picked up a fat roasted pork from the table and slowly put it into his mouth. His lips and teeth wriggled, and some grease flowed down the corner of his mouth, causing Chu Chouli to swallow another mouthful of saliva.

Xuan'er and Aowu stretched their necks and stared at the old man with widened eyes, as if they wished they could rush over and snatch the roasted meat from him right now.

The silver that the old man had given them had almost bottomed out under the expense of food and room expenses over the past few days.

Without the help of Chu Chouli's means of livelihood, the lives of these people could be said to be extremely miserable. In the previous few meals, they could still order bowls of pickled vegetables, but today, only this big white steamed bun was left.

Chu Chouli's hatred for the old man was completely forgotten. He licked his face and stepped forward again, saying, " Master Wei , someone from Chu has something to say when he speaks of this way of health preservation."

'"Your friend must be a quack. The older he is, the less desirable he is. Eating too greasy is not good for your health. Look, although you are old and strong, you still have to pay attention to these things. It's better to eat less greasy food."

"Is that so?" Hearing this, Master Wei immediately looked at Chu Chouli with an excited expression. However, he did not forget to lift the chicken leg on the table and put it into his mouth to bite off a piece.

"Miao …"

"Awoo …"

"Gulu…"

This action inevitably caused everyone to feel a burst of envy.

"But that old friend of mine was a famous divine doctor at that time. The villagers who came to see him almost broke his threshold." Master Wei's mouth was full of drumsticks and his words were vague.

Seeing that the food on the table was getting fewer and fewer, Chu Chouli was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

But on the surface, Chu Chouli had a selfless appearance. At that time, he said solemnly, "Hmm? Someone Chu has traveled all over the world for so many years, and he knows more than half of the influential people in Jianghu. Who exactly is the divine doctor in your mouth? Why don't you say it out loud? Someone Chu will see if he is worthless."

"I've been too old. I'll think about it." Hearing this, Master Wei tilted his head and pondered for a while before frowning and saying, "It seems like it's called something … What … Kun didn't say anything …"

"Kun is speechless!" The old man spat out the name, and Chu Chouli slapped his thigh without thinking. He said with an indignant expression, "Yes, yes, yes, it is this Kun who is silent. Let me tell you, I have heard of this person. A famous quack doctor, apart from pretending to be mysterious, has done countless wicked things to treat dead people!" "The old gentleman must have not walked on the martial arts world for a long time. There are many sects chasing after him now!"

Hearing these words, Xu Han broke out in cold sweat. He thought to himself that Chu Chouli was going too far for a chicken drumstick.

"Is that so?" Master Wei seemed to have really been fooled by Chu Chouli. His mouth slightly slowed down as if he was intentionally letting go of the chicken drumstick. Such an action undoubtedly stirred the nerves of the hungry people on the side. Xu Han was accustomed to living a bitter life and was able to leisurely eat steamed buns, but Xuan'er and Chu Chouli didn't have the strength to do so. Their gazes moved along with the chicken drumstick, and their eyes seemed to be filled with envy, as if they wished they could bite that thing into their mouth right now.

"Isn't that so?" Seeing that the old gentleman was hesitating, Chu Chouli immediately took advantage of the hot iron to continue saying, "Therefore, it is better for you not to eat such greasy things as the old gentleman."

"But there are so many things. If I don't eat them, wouldn't I be sending out heavenly creatures?" The old man hesitated.

"Sigh, I, Chu Xingxia, have been righteous for so many years. I have relied on this heroic spirit of treating my friend with all my heart. Don't worry, old man. I, Chu Xingxia, am obliged to do so." Chu Chouli patted his chest and sat down next to the old man's seat. His face was filled with heroism as he walked up the mountain and down the sea of flames for the old man.

After saying that, Chu Chouli even stretched out his hand and aimed at the remaining drumstick, wanting to take it.

"Ah, Brother Chu, I appreciate your kindness, but since these things aren't good for people, then let's not eat them anymore." At that moment, the old man stretched out his chopsticks and stopped Chu Chouli's hand.

"Isn't this a waste? Look at the current world, the people are in a sorry state…" Chu Chouli hurriedly said at that time.

"How could it be wasted?" The old gentleman smiled faintly. With one chopstick, the chicken leg flew to Aowu's mouth. Aowu, who had been drooling for a long time, naturally caught it. As for the steamed fish, he gently pushed it and landed at Xuan'er's feet.

"Look, isn't this good enough?" The old man said as he stretched out his chopsticks and swallowed the last piece of roasted pork into his stomach. He said with a smile on his face.

Then, under Chu Chouli's wide-eyed gaze, he stood up and carried the big wooden box on his back. He said, "This old man will go to the street to see if there is a suitable place to set up a stall. Brother Chu, please enjoy your use."

After saying that, he didn't even bother to look at Chu Chouli's indignant expression as he turned around and left the inn's entrance.

…

Inside the inn, Chu Chouli looked angrily at a cat and a dog that were eating perfectly, and then at the steamed buns in his hands.

Hero Chu immediately felt sad. He threw down the steamed bun in his hand and pointed at Xuan'er and Aowu and cursed, "It's said that you won't eat the food that comes with lamentation if you starve to death! How come you guys have no backbone? What about the integrity you promised? A mere fish and a chicken drumstick can make you do this. How can you be of great use in the future?"

Chu Chouli's words were filled with righteous indignation, and he completely forgot about his previous calculations.

When the cat and the wolf heard this, they raised their eyes to look at Chu Chouli, their eyes filled with confusion.

However, in the next moment, they put aside all this confusion and lowered their heads to fight against the food in their mouths.
