Chapter 614 A way to survive
For most of the next day, Fu Qingzhou wandered around the refugee camp.

When Fatuo led everyone in reciting the Sutra of the Hundred Disasters, he sat among the crowd, fanning himself and smiling with his eyes squinted.

When the monks gave out porridge, he would also drink it.

On weekdays, he would wander around in the crowd, chatting with people. When the refugees saw that he was a monk, they would ask him about Buddhist scriptures, and he would explain them on his own, but his explanations were completely different from the "Hundred Evils Sutra"... The refugees found it strange, but seeing that other monks did not dare to mess with him, they were also skeptical.

The children's games had just begun, and he was not in a hurry to do anything else, nor was he in a hurry to save people.

The medicinal materials and bodhi heart fruits are limited, so his medicine must be saved for the critical moment.

"Hurry up, hurry up, have you made it? Give me some more."

Fu Qingzhou quietly entered Liang Guangchang's tent and urged him, "We used some last night, and it's almost gone. Prepare it first."

Liang Guangchang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and poured a bowl of freshly cooked medicine soup into the wine gourd.

But as he drank, he started talking.

"Master Fu, the medicine we have here won't last much longer."

He said slowly: "You...maybe you should use it sparingly."

Fu Qingzhou was not surprised and nodded: "Is it because there are not enough other medicinal herbs, or not enough Bodhi Heart Fruit?"

"The bodhisattva heart fruit is not enough."

Liang Guangchang said frankly: "Fatuo has handed over all his Bodhi Heart Fruits, but it is still too little. After all, we still need to add ingredients to the rice porridge every day."

"Um……"

Fu Qingzhou pondered and said, "Today is the fourth day, and it's not long until the seven-day period is up. As long as we can ensure that there is enough medicinal soup in the next few days to mix with the rice porridge for the refugees to drink, it will be enough."

"So what's your plan?" Liang Guangchang frowned and asked, "Continue to play the role of Jigong? By doing this, you can..."

Before he could finish his question, the tent curtain was suddenly opened. The two men shut their mouths at the same time and turned their heads to look - only to see that it was Fatuo who came in.

When he opened the curtain, he turned his head and smiled calmly, "My fellow apprentices, please do your own things first. I have something to say to Doctor Liang."

When the curtain was lowered, Fado immediately changed his expression and said flatteringly: "Oh, Lord Fu, I guess you are here~"

“You are really amazing!”

He raised a thumbs up and flattered her: "Your method of letting the kids find evidence is brilliant! Who wouldn't believe a group of kids who accidentally found evidence and said something? As long as they believe it, get angry, and fight back, all the evils and difficulties are nothing!"

Fu Qingzhou was too lazy to respond and asked leisurely, "Is that what you came here to talk about?"

"no no."

Fatuo smiled and said, "That's right... You are here to expose the tricks of Huijue and Yuanzhao, right? So even if the refugees and children can't find evidence themselves, you must tell them the truth, right?"

Fu Qingzhou raised the corner of his mouth: "Of course."

"This is it."

Fado rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly: "Then...what should I do?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and asked knowingly, "What should I do?"

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Fatuo swallowed his saliva and said, "That's right, what about my life? If the refugees knew that we monks spread the disease, they would tear us to pieces, right?"

Fu Qingzhou laughed again: "Are you scared?"

"I'm scared, really scared!" Fado nodded his head: "Master Fu, you said you would protect me... At least when that day comes, can you, can you leave me a way out?"

Fu Qingzhou did not respond immediately, but just looked at him calmly.

Ning Wushu came to see me yesterday and told me that she wanted to send Fado to the border army and send him to the Northern Frontier Army to redeem himself. It was obvious that she felt that this man was somewhat talented and could play a significant role under the control of military discipline.

But Fu Qingzhou felt...

With Fatuo's current sins, he should be beheaded five times. To let him off so easily is really too easy!

"Okay, I'll protect you."

Fu Qingzhou smiled at him and said, "When that day comes, I will definitely save your life."

What he said was very vague, and it was also a blank check, but Fado did not dare to ask any more questions. A look of great joy appeared on his face, and he nodded frantically: "Hey! Hey! Lord Fu's words are as good as gold. I am very grateful for your words! Thank you very much!"

After saying that, he nodded, bent over, and slowly walked out of the tent.

"Young Master Fu."

After Fatuo left for a while, Liang Guangchang asked in a low voice: "This man is slick and sophisticated, and has a cunning mind. Aren't you afraid that he will do something secretly?"

Fu Qingzhou showed a calm smile: "Someone is watching him."...

When Fatuo left the tent, his face suddenly became gloomy.

But soon, he regained his composure and turned back into the gentle and compassionate monk he once was.

However, the monks who went back to the refugee camp with him found that Brother Fatuo's steps today seemed a little fast and hurried...

"Okay, don't come in."

After standing at the entrance of his tent, Fatuo whispered to the monks around him, "Don't let anyone in."

"...Yes." Several monks responded.

Fatuo strode into the tent, gritted his teeth, put his hands behind his back, and began to pace.

"How to do how to do!"

"Fu Qingzhou doesn't want me to live! He wants to destroy the bridge after crossing the river... Even if I really survive, I will inevitably lose my arms and legs! What should I do..."

He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and kept pacing around.

"Contact Yuanzhao? No, no... Fu Qingzhou is so capable. It was fine before, but now he will definitely send someone to keep an eye on me. No matter what means I use, he will definitely notice it. Then I'm fucking dead!"

"How to do how to do……"

Fatuo's bald head was covered with a layer of fine sweat beads. He sat down and kept scratching his head.

He can pretend to be a charlatan and deceive people, but this situation is what he is least good at dealing with...

When he was a security guard, he was so angry about his master beating him that the best way he could think of was to kidnap someone to vent his anger.

After accidentally tearing the body of a murderer, he could only flee far away and become a monk to avoid disaster, without any ability to solve the problem.

Including this time when he was coerced and lured into joining by Yuan Zhao, he had no choice but to go ahead with it.

This time he was in Fu Qingzhou's hands and he had no way out, let alone take the risk of being a double agent.

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded in the tent.

"You want to live?"

When he heard this voice, Fatuo was so shocked that he almost bit off his tongue!

If someone heard my secret complaints, I would be doomed!

He jumped up suddenly and looked back in fear at the direction of the sound.

But the person in the camp was not someone else, but the woman beside Fu Qingzhou... Ning Wushu.

She had sneaked into the tent at some point and was sitting on a chair at the back with a sword and a golden horse, with a half-smile on her face.

"You, you are..." Fatuo felt very disappointed.

"You said Qing Zhou wants you dead?"

Ning Wushu raised the corner of his mouth: "He promised to let you live, and he won't go back on his word. What are you still worried about?"

"No, no..."

Fatuo said with a sad face: "Even if I survive, if I am turned into a useless person, what difference will there be between me and being dead?"

"You're so scared..." Ning Wushu said with a smile, "Don't you want to find a solution? Whether it's contacting Yuanzhao or running away, you have to find a way for yourself."

"Oh, oh, you are really joking..."

Fado was sweating profusely and smiled apologetically: "How is this possible? I am very scared, but I can only go to Lord Fu to ask for mercy. After all, I have committed such a serious crime, and only he can protect me!"

"Oh?" Ning Wushu raised his eyebrows: "What if... I guarantee that you survive and are alive and well?"

Fatuo was shocked.

Then he quickly forced out another embarrassing smile: "Lady, please stop teasing me. I have no other intentions. I dare not disobey Lord Fu..."

"I'm not kidding you."

Ning Wushu smiled a gentle yet slightly cold smile: "I have two paths for you to choose from."

"First, I'm leaving now. Go find Fu Qingzhou and plead for mercy. See if he will relent."

"Second, you still follow Fu Qingzhou's arrangements, but when the conspiracy is revealed..."
