Chapter 113: 95 Monks (Second watch of the night) _2

“Hmm.” He nodded his head with a smile.

His smile was gentle, but it wasn’t the motherly type of gentleness Yao family exhibited. It was the kind that could make one dizzy-headed and blush.

Unfortunately, Gu Jiao was naturally not shy.

Because he looked good, Gu Jiao took a few more glances, but her heart was calm.

Upon hearing his words, Gu Jiao responded: “You’re quite kind…”

She hadn’t finished her sentence when he pulled out a dagger and killed the wild rabbit with one stroke.

Gu Jiao: “…..”

After the monk killed the rabbit, he asked Gu Jiao for some water to wash it, and started grilling it over a fire he built.

Gu Jiao was a bit dumbfounded.

Killing for food, could this be a phony monk?

“Do you want some?” He cut off the most tender piece, skewered it with the dagger and handed it to Gu Jiao. “Sharing is caring.”

Gu Jiao: Isn’t this when you’re supposed to thank me for saving you?

Gu Jiao hadn’t had much for lunch and was a bit hungry. She accepted the rabbit meat and took a bite.

It wasn’t bad, but not particularly good either. It was a bit of a waste of ingredients.

“Ah, I forgot to add salt.” The monk slapped his forehead, pulled a small bamboo tube out of his wide sleeve, removed the lid, and began to sprinkle salt on the rabbit meat.

“It should taste a lot better now.” He cut off another piece and handed it to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao accepted the meat and after adding the salt, indeed the taste was a lot better. She asked, “Did you save it just to eat it?”

The monk replied assuredly, “What else?”

Gu Jiao’s mouth twitched, she wondered which monk from the temple this could be? How is it that she had never seen him before?

The monk gestured to a trap nearby: “Do you want to eat snake meat? If you want, go and pull it up.”

Gu Jiao asked, “Why don’t you pull it up yourself?”

The monk sighed, “I’m afraid.”

Gu Jiao gazed at him curiously, “If you were scared, why did you kill it?”

“I didn’t kill it.” The monk paused for a moment, correcting her, “It died from biting me.”

Gu Jiao: “…..”

“Why on earth did you bite it?”

“It bit me first!” The monk declared righteously. Pulling up his left pant leg, he revealed a leg swollen like a pig’s trotter.

Gu Jiao was simply dumbfounded.

You got bitten by a snake, and you bit it back? What are you playing at?

The snake must have never imagined that it would be bitten to death by a human one day!

And you’ve been bitten by a snake and you’re still in the mood to eat a roasted rabbit? Do you not know that you are about to die?

The monk, as if sensing Gu Jiao’s thoughts, sighed, “I know.”

Having said that, he fell to the ground with a thud, spat out some black blood, and passed out!

Gu Jiao: “…..”

What on earth kind of monk is this?!

The snake that bit him is a highly toxic silver ringed snake. Luckily, Gu Jiao’s first aid kit contained antivenom for this snake’s bite.

The antivenom, a serum derived from horse blood, contains foreign proteins and can easily cause an allergic reaction.

Time was of the essence, so Gu Jiao had forgone administering an allergy shot, bracing herself as she injected two doses of allergy medication.

When the monk woke up, he was no longer on the grassy lawn. He found himself sitting under a large tree, as rain poured down from the sky.
