Chapter 12: A Fork in the Road
After a while, I returned to normal, immediately grabbed the reins, told the horse to stop, jumped off the horse's back, hurried into the carriage, dragged the body of the toad spirit out of the carriage, and then comforted my sister.
My sister's face was full of tears, and when I pulled up her dress, she leaned on top of me and fainted because of her weakness.
"Whoa!"
In the dim sky, the rain was also sprinkled at this time, and Ming Beilin urged impatiently, so I could only help my senior sister to lean against the back of the carriage, and then took out a long skirt in the baggage to wipe the blood in the carriage.
After I had wiped the blood away, he got into the carriage, and he sat on one side, his chin slightly tilted proudly, looking at me condescendingly.
"Repair the temple!" When he saw me sitting on the sidelines, he spoke.
I looked at the bloody clothes in my hands and came back to my senses from my trance.
"I don't have a silver tael, I heard that the village spent nearly fifty taels of silver to build the land temple." I looked at the arrogant man in front of me and said.
"Humph! How can this god succumb to that kind of broken temple? If you want to build a river temple, it must be built with a thousand taels of gold. His tone was not small.
I stared at him for a moment, and I had a plan.
"Shen Beilin, no, Lord Shenjun, although I don't have any money, my master has it, and when I find my master, I will definitely repair the temple for you." I looked at him with a flattering smile.
He stared at me with disdain: "Your master, if you really have a thousand taels of silver, why do you want to live in that broken wooden house?" Do you want to play tricks on this god again? ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" I waved my hand desperately.
In his heart, he thought that this Ming Beilin is quite smart, although the master has collected a lot of evil over the years, but he has not collected much money, and he always said that he wants to repay his debts.
So, a lot of the work is just to help, to get a money that is only enough to make ends meet.
"Lord Shenjun, my master said, wealth is not exposed, living in the village is also to hide wealth, you don't know, now the world is chaotic." I watched him coax.
Seeing Ming Beilin's deep pupils staring at me, I felt like I was in cardiac arrest, and I was afraid that he would see some flaws.
I could only grit my teeth and pretend to be calm.
His body leaned towards me, and the refreshing breath rushed towards me.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, this Divine Monarch will really kill you and end the Red Luan Knot!" His voice was extremely low, but it was full of murderous energy.
"Xiyan, don't dare!" I lowered my eyes with a weak heart.
When he heard this, he snorted coldly and sat down again.
At this moment, the horses outside neighed, and the carriage began to sway from side to side, and I was sitting opposite the North North with my head down, but the carriage swayed, and I threw myself directly into the arms of the North Moon.
His embrace, with a chill, made me feel inexplicably reassured.
"Get out of here!" Beilin reprimanded in a low voice.
I hurriedly struggled to lean back, but Beilin shook his robe in disgust, as if he was worried that I would stain his robe.
"What a thick fog?" When he shook off his robe, I lifted the curtain and found a thick fog outside.
The horses couldn't tell the way ahead, so they began to get flustered.
I hurriedly pulled the reins and asked the horses to stop, this out of the village to Yancheng, there are two roads, the master said before, the road facing west, there is a fog very fierce, can not go.
Now, looking at the long fog, we must have just been at a fork in the road, and we went wrong.
