" My gold!!!"
The four eyes 'sobbing voice rang out, causing the entire night to fall silent.
"Master, what gold?"
Jiale asked with a frown.
Other than Ren Wei and Ikyu, no one else knew about Si Mu's little treasury. Even his disciple, Jiale, who had followed him for many years, was the same. That was why Jiale was suspicious.
Awkward!
Ren Wei wiped away the nonexistent cold sweat. He also remembered that the chest of gold bars was still inside. However, the flames were extremely strong and could not be extinguished. If this continued, wouldn't the gold bars be burned?
"Gold? Could it be that the Taoist priest still had gold inside? This was going to be difficult. This flame could not be extinguished even with water. They could only wait for the flame to extinguish before they could enter.”
But soon, Ren Wei thought of a way to help him out. He pretended not to know and comforted Si Mu," Taoist priest, true gold fears no fire! I believe the gold will be fine.”
"True gold is not afraid of fire? That's right, true gold fears no fire!"
Hearing Ren Wei's words of comfort, Si Mu's sobbing voice suddenly froze. He also knew that true gold was not afraid of fire, and his face instantly became filled with joy.
Ren Wei felt a little guilty when he saw that Taoist Priest Four-Eyed trusted him so much. He had read books before, so he knew that true gold was not afraid of fire. The meaning of this phrase was to describe a person with good quality or firm will who could withstand any test.
Ordinary flames would melt gold, let alone Ren Wei's extraordinary flames.
In other words, the gold could be melted by the fire!!
It was not good to stay here for long!
"Ahem, Taoist priest, since the house has been burned down, I'll go back first. I live in Ren Town. If you need anything in the future, come find me.”
Ren Wei shuddered at the thought of Daoist Priest Four-Eyed burning half of his life savings and bid farewell to Four-Eyed and the others.
Of course, if the gold was really melted, Ren Wei also planned to let Si Mu come to him. He would compensate Si Mu as compensation.
Seeing Ren Wei suddenly leave, Four Eyes and the others expressed their understanding, but they all asked him to stay. No one followed Ren Wei into the town.
Because they were not Ren Wei, they had a home in the town. The place they lived in was only the one in front of them. In addition, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed had to wait for the flames to extinguish, so they could only find a place nearby to sleep.
Ren Wei naturally smiled and rejected the urging of Four Eyes and the others. What a joke. It would be fine if the gold bars were not melted. However, if they were melted and he was still here, wouldn't Four Eyes want to beat him to death?
A few hours after Ren Wei left, when the fire was extinguished, Si Mu quickly got up and brought Jiale to look for the gold bars.
However, after the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the four eyes screamed in pain.
"Damn it, my gold!!!”
......
"Ah Qian!"
Ren Wei, who had just arrived at the Ren residence, sneezed. He felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Cousin, I'm back."
Ren Weicong felt relieved when he saw that there was no face of the four-eyed Taoist priest around. Then, he shouted at the Ren residence.
The first thing he did when he came to look for Ren Tingting was to inform her of his safety and not let her worry about him.
"Cousin!"
In the next moment, a beautiful figure appeared in front of Ren Wei. It was Ren Wei's cousin, Ren Tingting. Today, Ren Tingting was wearing a sky-blue dress. Her long hair fluttered behind her. The beauty of a Chinese woman coupled with an exotic charm made Ren Wei's eyes light up.
"Cousin, where did you go? I heard from Ninth Uncle that you went to catch a female ghost. Are you injured?？”
Ren Tingting pounced into Ren Wei's arms like a fairy. Her eyes were filled with tears and she looked extremely sad. However, she did not forget to carefully check Ren Wei's body. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she found that there were no injuries on Ren Wei's body.
Ren Tingting was already worried when she heard from Ninth Uncle that her cousin had gone to catch a female ghost. Moreover, she had not seen Ren Wei for two days. Ren Tingting was afraid that something had happened to Ren Wei.
After all, Ren Tingting only had Ren Wei, her only true relative left!
"Alright, stop crying."
Seeing tears in Ren Tingting's eyes, her delicate and pitiful appearance made Ren Wei protect her endlessly. He hurriedly walked into the Ren residence with Ren Tingting and dotingly wiped away Ren Tingting's tears.
Ren Wei did not expect Ren Tingting to be so dependent on him now. It had only been two days since they last met, but when she saw him, Ren Tingting's small hands grabbed him tightly as if she did not want to let him go.
"Cousin, are you angry because I didn't give it to you?”
As soon as they entered the hall, Ren Tingting first asked the servants to prepare food for Ren Wei. When Ren Wei sat down, Ren Tingting came to his side and said so.
Her shy tone and blushing face made Ren Wei, who had just sat down, a little dumbfounded. For a moment, he did not understand what Ren Tingting meant."What?"
But the next moment, Ren Tingting's words made Ren Wei cough.
"Cousin, I know you're very angry now, but, but you don't have to leave me like this. I'm so worried."
Ren Tingting blushed and muttered softly. Looking at Ren Wei's dumbfounded and silent face, she thought that her cousin was still angry. Her small face was extremely nervous. Then, as if she had made an important decision, she said again,"Cousin, you can stay in the Ren residence tonight.”
Puff!
The meaning was obvious. This time, Ren Wei understood.
It turned out that ever since Ninth Uncle mentioned the drawbacks of Ren Wei's True Yang Tactics, Ren Tingting had been feeling extremely shy. For a moment, she did not dare to look at Ren Wei in the eye and did not take the initiative to speak to him for the entire day, afraid that Ren Wei would impulsively execute her on the spot.
But a few days ago, Ren Wei suddenly went out and said that he was going to catch ghosts, but could he catch ghosts for two days?
As such, it was inevitable that Ren Tingting would think that Ren Wei was angry with her.
"Ahem, you're thinking too much."
Ren Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry after he reacted. He patted Ren Tingting's little hand and comforted her. He felt that Ren Tingting's mood had improved a little, so he quickly changed the topic." Cousin really went to catch ghosts. Don't think too much. By the way, is there anything else in the Ren residence?”
Ren Tingting was only 16 years old now, and she was his cousin. Ren Wei could not help but feel a sense of guilt. Of course, the most important thing was that it was daytime!
The Republic of China was a conservative period. Ren Tingting would never do it during the day. Therefore, Ren Wei could only change the topic. Otherwise, who would vent his anger?
That feeling of being neither up nor down was very uncomfortable!
However, Ren Wei didn't reply or reject what happened that night.
Looking at Ren Wei's righteous answer, Ren Tingting's originally shy face turned even redder. She felt extremely ashamed of her initiative and wished she could bury herself in Ren Wei's strange embrace.
Could it be that she had really misunderstood her cousin?
After a long time, Ren Tingting finally recovered from her shyness. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and said to Ren Wei,
"Cousin, I have something to tell you. Tan Baiwan, a wealthy businessman from Taishan Town, is looking for you.”
