Chapter 22 There’s a lot of movement
Even though Wen Wan is a modern soul, her thoughts are more open than those of the ancients.
However, with such a shy posture and being surrounded by a circle of people, I still feel very embarrassed.
Shen Yu was the first to react. He gently placed his palm on the back of her head and pushed her head into his arms.
"Don't look up."
Shen Yu whispered.
Wen Wan was startled, and then a warmth rose in her heart.
At the critical moment, he also knew that there was merit in protecting the face of her daughter's family.
The young master is only twelve or thirteen years old. He has never seen such a restricted scene. His face is red and he is speechless.
The married women didn't have any scruples, and they all burst out laughing.
"Be a good boy, you are still young. This little husband has good arm strength. This little lady is so lucky."
"That's what I say, but this is a pure place for Buddhism. Doing such immoral things is blasphemous."
"I think if they can't give birth to a son, it must be because of blasphemy."
"Young people, you still have to be restrained. Please add some sesame oil money later to make amends to the lady who gave birth to her child."
The buzzing comments fell into Wen Wan's ears, and even though she was thick-skinned, she was a little unable to resist.
Her head buried lower and lower.
Shen Yu glanced down at her, and then glanced at the people at the door with sharp eyes.
He didn't bother to waste any more words, so he raised his toes and kicked the little black snake that had just crawled out of the hole.
Everyone saw a dark thing rushing toward them. Upon closer inspection, they saw that it was a small black snake.
"There is a snake!"
The timid person turned pale with fright and did not care to watch the excitement. The crowd immediately dispersed.
The little black snake was thrown on the threshold, struggling twistingly and crawling towards the wall.
"You can come down now."
Shen Yu said softly.
Wen Wan raised her head slightly and got off him when the alarm was cleared.
There was still a blush on her face that hadn't faded away in time, and her skin looked pink and had a warm jade texture.
Shen Yu's eyes darkened, his throat felt dry, he swallowed and looked away.
Wen Wan patted him on the shoulder cheerfully, "Thank you just now. Thank you for your quick response, otherwise I would be very embarrassed."
Shen Yu responded gruffly.
After gentle calculation, the entrance to the ancient tomb was actually directly below the snake cave.
Wen Wan couldn't help sighing, "How much hatred is there. Not only did they build temples to suppress them, but they also attracted creatures like black blue birds and black snakes to come to this place."
Shen Yu frowned slightly, but in the end he didn't explain much.
Wen Wan doesn't want to know too much. The more she knows, the faster she will die.
She turned around and asked: "There are so many people offering incense right now, so it's not a good time to open a tomb. What are your plans?"
Shen Yu also knew that there were too many people, "It's only two days' journey from the border town, which is quite close. I can transfer people from the border town, but..."
He paused and said meaningfully: "Once my people move, others... will follow."
The other people he mentioned should be other forces.
Although Wen Wan didn't know what they were looking for, since it could be snatched by so many people, it must not be easy.
"So?" Wen Wan asked, pursing her lips.
Can't you tell the result directly?
It's so annoying.
Shen Yu tapped her forehead with a finger, "You are so impatient."
"It hurts!" Wen Wan slapped his hand away and glared at her fiercely.
Shen Yu lowered his voice, "Anyway, we have disturbed the quiet place of Buddhism, why not just disturb it completely."
Wen Wan: "..."
The way he looked at her gradually turned cold, and his expression became gloomy, as if he was holding back some evil idea.
Wen Wan felt a chill run down her spine for no reason.
"Let me think about it, you still have to have a bottom line as a human being. You can also believe what ghosts and gods say when necessary..." Before she could finish her words, Shen Yu walked up to the beam and kicked it. .
She knew he was so powerful, but she didn't expect him to be so powerful.
"Click"
One of the top beams was broken into two pieces.
The entire side hall was crumbling. Before the house collapsed, Shen Yu grabbed Wen Wan's waist and jumped out.
The huge noise quickly drew everyone in the temple out.
In the crowd of onlookers, someone recognized Shen Yu.
"Ah, isn't this the young man who gave birth to a son with his wife in the side hall just now?"
"Giving birth to a son in a side palace? You can do such a thing! How shameless."
"Look at how angry the Bodhisattva is, and the gods brought down the house as punishment!"
"Heavenly Bodhisattva, if you didn't smash these shameless wild mandarin ducks to death, it would be a pity to lose a good side hall."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
With Shen Yu standing in front of her, Wen Wan didn't see the mean faces of the crowd, but the offensive words still reached her ears word for word.
Shen Yu frowned and hid her behind him without leaving any trace.
The masters from the temple rushed over, their faces livid, and they couldn't control their anger even after chanting a few Zen words.
Seeing several masters rolling up their sleeves to take action, Shen Yu quickly spoke.
"Masters, calm down, it's my fault. I'll find someone to repair the side hall immediately, and I'll make sure it's exactly the same as before!"
"In addition, I will donate another thousand taels of sesame oil to make amends to the Bodhisattva."
Money can make the world go round. As soon as he said these words, everyone took a breath of cold air.
One thousand taels of sesame oil is enough to feed and clothe the masters in the temple for several years.
Afraid that the masters wouldn't believe it, Shen Yu took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it over on the spot.
"I came out in a hurry this time and didn't have that much on me. I will make up for the rest later."
"Masters, don't worry. I will go find the craftsmen overnight and will repair the side hall within ten days."
The house has collapsed, the thing has happened, and the perpetrator is able to compensate, which is considered a blessing from the Bodhisattva.
The masters had no choice but to accept this compensation plan.
The old master was well-informed and had seen the evil people's hearts. He was afraid that he would never come back, so he ran away like this.
"You have nothing to prove. Why don't you invite your wife to stay in our temple for one night? After you bring the remaining money and the repair craftsmen tomorrow, we will take your wife back."
This means treating gentleness as "collateral".
Human nature is not incomprehensible.
Wen Wan felt that it was understandable for Shen Yu to keep her, after all, she was not his real wife.
To him, she was a tool that could find the dragon's cave.
It's a good deal to use tool people in exchange for the trust of the masters.
"No."
Unexpectedly, Shen Yu refused without hesitation.
Even Wen Wan looked up at him in surprise.
Shen Yu's voice was cold, "My wife is fragile and can't take care of herself. I'm not worried about staying here alone at night."
Delicate and unable to take care of herself...
This reason is, well, very nice and considerate.
The old master frowned, "But..."
Shen Yu took off his jade pendant and said, "This jade is worth thousands of gold. I will pledge it here as a token."
The old master was also very knowledgeable. He took the jade pendant, looked at it, and agreed with a smile.
Shen Yu held Wen Wan's hand and left the Empress Temple.
After going down the mountain, Wen Wan couldn't help but ask:
"Why didn't you agree to my master's promise to keep me here just now? Are you... worried about me?"
