265: Damn it!

"What should we do? Should we report it to the President?"

They looked at Zheng Jishi.

Here, Zheng Jishi was the only leader besides the Guiding Teacher and the President.

Moreover, Zheng Jishi always helped everyone and taught, so he had a certain prestige in the Student Union.

Now that something had happened, everyone wanted to hear his opinion.

Zheng Jishi said seriously, "Don't alert the enemy yet."

"The enemy? Where is it?! I'll kill it directly!"

Someone said this.

Zheng Jishi: ...The Guiding Teacher was right, the Student Union really needed to promote culture.

Look at these people, they don't understand idioms, but they also don't understand metaphors!

Forget it... Zheng Jishi sighed.

"Let's not let him discover that we've found he has a problem. We'll pretend not to know, on one hand to mislead him, and on the other, to see what he ultimately wants to do.

We'll report this matter to the President in the afternoon or evening when we see him.

Absolutely, absolutely do not act on your own initiative.

The Guiding Teacher said that we are a new thing in a period of development, and we are easily suppressed by old things. We must protect ourselves."

The others nodded.

"Okay!"

...Hu Lai, who was carried into the room, closed his eyes.

He was at the Late Stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

Although his physical strength was decent, he didn't have the power of Divine Sense that a Qi Refining Realm Cultivator could mobilize, so he didn't know what the people outside were doing.

Hu Lai's heart was itching!

What were the people from the Student Union doing?

Had they discovered him?

Were they secretly plotting which method to use to kill him?

Was it slow slicing? Or beheading?

Hu Lai shivered.

Just as he was lost in wild thoughts.

Zheng Jishi and other Student Union members came in.

Zheng Jishi said to the villager, "Elder, this is some food I brought. Please distribute it to everyone. Also, remember to give some to the fellow villager who has fainted from hunger on the bed first."

The elder hummed in response.

At such a close distance, Hu Lai heard clearly, his heart filled with a hint of bitterness.

He had gone to such great lengths to enter this village; how could he be exposed so easily!

After Zheng Jishi finished speaking, he walked out and instructed the elder, "Elder, please mix some sand into the food I gave you."

Although the elder didn't understand, since this "Great Benevolent One" had said it, he just had to do as he was told.

A moment later.

The elder held Hu Lai and began to put things into Hu Lai's mouth.

Hu Lai, sitting upright, being embraced by the elder, was not a very good experience.

At the tip of his nose was a faint aroma from the food.

In a famine year, having food was already good enough. Hu Lai didn't dare to be picky, so he opened his mouth, letting the elder stuff food and water into it.

After one bite.

Hu Lai: ???

He immediately stood up and spat out the contents of his mouth.

"Ptooey! Ptooey, ptooey!"

After spitting it out cleanly, he saw a room full of people staring at him and inwardly cursed, realizing his infiltration had failed.

But he still wanted to salvage the situation.

Hu Lai chuckled sheepishly, "Uh... I don't know when sand got into the food. I didn't mean to waste food."

"We understand, we understand."

Zheng Jishi said with a smile.

"We all understand, you don't need to worry."

"Right, right."

Hu Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

Good thing they hadn't discovered him.

This Student Union was a bit foolish.

When Zheng Jishi left, he had a smile on his face.

One of the Student Union members asked, "Mr. Zheng, why did you put sand in it?"

Zheng Jishi smiled and said, "To confirm once again whether he is truly a disaster victim."

"Is he?"

"He is!"

"What's the principle?"

Zheng Jishi said, "Generally, disaster victims are starving. Let alone sand in their food, even if there's a bit of excrement, they wouldn't care.

Look at this person, he directly spat out the food in his mouth and didn't pick it up to eat again. This cannot be a disaster victim."

Everyone suddenly understood.

They gave him a thumbs up.

"It has to be Doctor Zheng!"

"As expected of someone who can be a teacher."

"Brilliant! Brilliant!"

Zheng Jishi waved his hand, not showing off.

"This is nothing. It's all something I learned and became familiar with by reading books during my studies, seeing how others did things."

A member asked, "Books teach all this?"

"It doesn't teach, but it records the wisdom of many people."

"No wonder everyone talks about reading!"

This member suddenly felt that although reading was difficult, once it could be applied, it could accomplish great things.

From now on, he had to study and read diligently.

In the afternoon.

Hu Lai sat up from the bed.

He saw a little girl run towards him.

"Are you here because you don't get enough to eat?"

The little girl, with two pigtails sticking up, asked curiously, her eyes wide.

Hu Lai grumbled, "Who would want to leave their hometown if they could eat their fill?"

But the next second.

The little girl hesitated and struggled, then pulled out a piece of candy from her pocket, opening her palm to show it to Hu Lai.

The girl looked up, her eyes as clear as a pristine lake.

"Eat candy, eating candy won't make you dizzy. Doctor Zheng gave this to me. I didn't want to eat it, but if you're going to faint, I'll give it to you."

Hu Lai was stunned.

"Go give it to your parents. I need to rest."

"Doctor Zheng said my father and mother went to a very, very far place, and I have to wait until I grow up and my hair turns white before I can see them."

Hu Lai knew this meant both of them had already died.

The child didn't understand and still held some beautiful fantasies.

Hu Lai looked at the piece of candy in the little girl's dirty palm, feeling terribly distressed.

I deserve to die!

I actually spoke in a Yin and Yang manner to such a good little girl!

I deserve to die!

She even wants to give me precious candy from a famine year!

Hu Lai fell into guilt.

He took the candy, broke it in half, and handed one half to the little girl, saying gently, "We'll each have half. Remember not to tell anyone!

If you tell, others will snatch your candy and all your other things."

"Ah?!"

The little girl was startled, took the candy, and quickly promised, "I won't tell!"

As she spoke, she picked up the candy wrapper that Hu Lai had just thrown on the ground and wrapped up her half of the candy.

Hu Lai frowned, "Aren't you going to eat it? It's so hot, the candy will melt."

The girl shook her head.

"I won't eat it. I can eat my fill. My father and mother haven't eaten yet. I want to save the candy for them."

Hu Lai: ...The candy in his mouth suddenly lost its sweetness.

It turned out that what he was holding in his mouth, what he thought was sweet, was precisely the girl's bitterness.

This candy, the girl wanted to save for her parents... I deserve to die!

Hu Lai cursed inwardly, his heart filled with sorrow.

The little girl skipped away.

Hu Lai adjusted himself, got out of bed, and symbolically stumbled a bit.

He walked out of his room.

He saw Zheng Jishi and his "team" wearing masks, taking pulses, examining, and prescribing medicine for some Patients.

Hu Lai went over.

"I'll help you!"
