Chapter 18: Smashing the wall and digging a hole
Lingmu rolled his eyes at Ah Ren, and said disdainfully: "You shark is too ignorant, Miss is obviously a demon, who said that demons have demonic energy." ”
"Aren't all demons demonic?" Ah Ren's eyebrows were twisted together, demons have demonic energy, isn't this common sense?
"There are exceptions. Mengli tugged at the corners of her mouth, stretched out her right index finger, and a cluster of blue flames jumped out.
"It's demonic power!" Ah Ren looked at the flames in surprise.
Lingmu rolled his eyes again, making a fuss.
Actually, it's really not that Ah Ren is short-sighted, and it is indeed common sense that demons have demonic spirits. It's just that Mengli's situation is a little special, and the demonic energy in his body has been inexplicably contained, but it looks like there is no demonic energy. It's just that what is contained, Mengli doesn't know, and the demon king refuses to say.
Mengli put away the small flames, looked at Ah Ren and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"That Taoist priest is too powerful, I can only wait for another opportunity. Ah Ren frowned and said unwillingly.
"He thought you were dead and gone. ”
Ah Ren's eyes widened, "Really?" and he was about to get out of bed.
Lingmu pressed him back with one hand, and said unceremoniously: "Why are you going? What can you do like a bear?"
Lingmu pouted, this merman really has no brains, and she wants to die again before her injury is completely healed, and it is better to die if she wastes her hard work.
"If you want to take revenge, take care of your injuries first, your mother may not want to see you scarred. Mengli said lightly.
Lingmu looked at his young lady's expression, and knew that the young lady was afraid that she was thinking about the demon queen again. After the death of the demon queen, the demon king forbade no one to spread anything about the demon queen, and the young lady now doesn't know who her mother is.
"Yes...... I was impulsive. Ah Ren said ashamedly.
"Then you have a good rest, and I'll come back tomorrow morning. Mengli looked at Ah Ren and said with a smile.
Ah Ren nodded, "Okay." ”
Mengli instructed Lingmu to stay and take care of Ah Ren, and walked to Yufu alone.
The defensive shield didn't work for her, and Yumeli leapt lightly into the courtyard, hiding behind an old tree. Looking at the maidservants walking back and forth, Mengli quietly changed her clothes and hairstyle. Looking up and down, there was no problem, and he walked to the front hall.
The twilight was dim, and compared to the tranquility of ordinary people, the Yu Mansion was lively. Because the merman has been destroyed, Master Yu, who has no worries, decided to celebrate tonight.
The front yard is decorated with lights, and the whole Yu Mansion is really jubilant, I don't know, I think Yu Mansion is the New Year, or is it marrying a daughter?
Mengli took a turn in the front yard, which was not yet set up, so it was not interesting, and turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Passing by a room, Mengli heard what seemed to be a voice inside, so she walked over lightly.
Mengli reached out and gently pushed open a little crack in the window and looked inside.
"Madame, put this away. Master Yu said, handing a small box to Mrs. Yu.
Mrs. Yu took it and opened it gently, and there was a white earring lying inside. Mrs. Yu was surprised and said, "Master, isn't this the shark man before?"
"Yes, I thought that my eldest mother was about to get married. The merman is dead, so there is no need to worry that any more merman will want to retrieve this earring and hurt the eldest mother. These earrings are worth a lot of money, so they might as well be used as a dowry. ”
"It's okay, the eldest lady will be happy. Mrs. Yu happily put it away, "By the way, didn't Lin Jian have another earring before this?"
"There is indeed one, this pair of earrings was divided between me and him at that time. Master Yu pondered.
"It's a pity, I'm afraid that Lin Jian's one would have been used by him to gamble for money, otherwise, he could still find a way to make a pair for the eldest mother. Mrs. Yu sighed.
Master Yu seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said: "No! If Lin Jian really does it, a shark bead of this shape will inevitably cause some fluctuations, and it is impossible to be silent." 'M afraid...... That earring was killed before Lin Jian could do it. ”
"Yes, sir! Mrs. Yu said excitedly, "We have to find it as soon as possible." ”
Master Yu nodded, "Well, tomorrow I will call someone and go to Lin Jian's house to rummage through it." ”
Mengli took a few steps back and shook her head slightly.
It's really a lack of people's hearts.
Lin Jian himself has no children and no daughters, and after this death, the old house naturally returned to the county government, and Master Yu was unwilling to blatantly rummage through the earrings. So, with his friendship with the county lord for many years, Master Yu actually bought Lin Jian's old house at a very low price.
As for how could Master Yu get along with the county lord? Since Master Yu started from shark beads, the jewelry and jade business has become more and more prosperous in the past few years, and the combination of government and business is indispensable. The county lord has made a lot of efforts for it, and naturally he has gained a lot of benefits.
Master Yu got the old mansion and immediately ordered the housekeeper to gather people to go to Lin Jian's house. There were not a few things left in the old mansion that had been pawned by Lin Jian, and a few family members had rummaged through them in a few clicks, and there was nothing of value.
Master Yu thought, then Lin Jian would definitely not put this important thing on the surface, maybe hide it in a hole in the wall?
So, the family began to smash the wall again.
Fortunately, there were many people, and it was smashed in less than half the morning, but there was still no trace of the earrings.
Master Yu thought, which corner of the yard might it be buried?
So, the family began to dig the pit again.
As the area that was turned over became larger and larger, Master Yu's face became darker and darker. Although Lin Jian has a lot of ghost ideas, he won't hide until he can't find it even if he turns over his home. Could it be that he was really taken by him?
Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Master Yu had no choice but to give up and leave with his family.
And this whole day, Mengli, Ah Ren and Lingmu didn't come to see this excitement, because Mengli didn't agree to kill Master Yu directly, so the three of them nested in the house and came up with a new plan.
Mengli pursed her lips and killed it directly, how boring it is, right?
A few days later, the most prosperous streets of Shengcheng resounded with crackling and deafening firecrackers. Passers-by rushed to join in the fun, but they all sighed and shook their heads.
This jewelry store is actually located opposite Mr. Yu's jewelry and jade shop, which will definitely not last long. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Yu master and the county master have long been combined with government and business, and how many jade shops have closed down in this city for so many years. The owner of this shopkeeper must be a foreigner, so he probably doesn't know it yet.
Just when everyone was about to leave, a little guy jumped out of the door and shouted: "Cuiyunxuan has opened today with a big reward! Half price for the whole venue, the first ten customers who shop for 1,000 taels or more will give a shark pearl!
