Chapter 22: A Big Movement
Even though Wenwan is a modern soul, her thoughts are more open than those of the ancients.
However, I still feel embarrassed when being watched by a crowd of people with such embarrassing movements.
The first one to react was Shen Yu. He gently placed his palm on the back of her head and pressed her head into his arms.
"Don't look up."
Shen Yu whispered.
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, and then a warm feeling rose in her heart.
At the critical moment, he still knew to protect the reputation of his daughter's family, which was still commendable.
The young master was only twelve or thirteen years old and had never seen such restricted scenes. His face turned red and he stammered, unable to speak.
The married women had no scruples and were all laughing so hard that they fell over.
"Oh my goodness, it's still good to be young. This young man has good arm strength. I am so lucky."
"That's true, but this is a Buddhist holy place after all. Doing something this immoral is blasphemous."
"I think they can't have a son. It must be because of blasphemy."
"Young man, you should be more restrained. Add some money to the incense offerings later to apologize to the Goddess of Childbirth."
Wen Wan heard the chaotic discussions, and even though she was thick-skinned, she couldn't handle it.
Her head lowered lower.
Shen Yu glanced down at her, then his sharp eyes swept over the people at the door.
He was too lazy to waste words, so he kicked the little black snake that had just crawled out of the cave with his toes.
Everyone saw a pitch-black thing rushing towards them, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small black snake.
"There's a snake!"
The timid ones were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they didn't even bother to watch the excitement, so the crowd dispersed immediately.
The little black snake was thrown on the threshold, struggling and twisting, crawling towards the wall.
"You can come down now."
Shen Yu said softly.
Wen Wan looked up slightly, and when she saw that the alarm was over, she got off him.
There was still a blush on her face that had not faded away, and her skin looked pink and had the texture of warm jade.
Shen Yu's eyes sank, his throat felt dry, he swallowed and looked away.
Wen Wan patted his shoulder cheerfully and said, "Thank you for what happened just now. It's all thanks to your quick reaction, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed."
Shen Yu responded gruffly.
After Wen Wan's calculations, she found that the entrance to the ancient tomb was right below the snake hole.
Wen Wan couldn't help but sigh, "What a huge grudge this is! Not only did they build a temple to suppress it, but they also attracted creatures like black birds and black snakes to come and ravage this place."
Shen Yu frowned slightly, but ultimately did not explain further.
Wen Wan didn't want to know too much. The more she knew, the faster she would die.
She turned and asked, "There are so many people burning incense right now, it's not a good time to open the tomb. What are your plans?"
Chen Yu also knew that there were too many people and too many eyes. "This place is 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 start moving, the others... will follow."
The other people he mentioned should be other forces.
Although Wen Wan didn't know what they were looking for, since so many people were fighting for it, it must be something extraordinary.
"So what?" Wen Wan asked, pursing her lips.
Can't you just tell me the result?
It's really frustrating.
Shen Yu tapped her forehead with his 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 already disturbed the Buddhist quiet place, why not just disturb it thoroughly?"
Wen Wan: “…”
The way he looked at her gradually became colder and his expression became gloomy, as if he was harboring some evil idea.
Wen Wan felt a chill down her spine for no reason.
"I've been thinking about it. As a human being, one should have a bottom line. If necessary, one can believe in ghosts and gods..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Shen Yu walk to the beam and kick it.
She knew he was so powerful, but she didn't expect him to be this powerful.
"Click"
A main beam broke in two.
The entire side hall was crumbling. Before the house collapsed, Shen Yu grabbed Wen Wan's waist and jumped out.
The loud noise quickly attracted everyone in the temple out.
Among the crowd of onlookers, someone recognized Shen Yu.
"Oh, isn't this the young man who just gave birth to a son with his wife in the side hall?"
"Giving birth to a son in a side hall? You can do such a thing! How shameless."
"Look how angry the Bodhisattva is, she sent down divine punishment and even collapsed the house!"
"Heavenly Bodhisattva, it's a shame that you didn't kill this shameless pair of mandarin ducks. It's a pity that such a good side hall was wasted."
With Chen Yu standing in front of her, Wen Wan didn't see the harsh expressions of the crowd, but the unbearable words still reached her ears word by word.
Shen Yu frowned and hid her behind him without leaving any trace.
The masters in the temple rushed over, their faces turned pale. They recited a few Zen sayings, but they were unable to control their anger.
Seeing several masters rolling up their sleeves to get started, Shen Yu quickly spoke.
"Masters, calm down. I'm wrong. I'll find someone to repair the side hall immediately and make sure it's exactly as it was before!"
"Also, I will donate another 1,000 taels of incense money as an apology to the Buddha."
Money makes the world go round. When he said this, everyone gasped.
One thousand taels of incense money is enough for the food and clothing expenses of the masters in the temple for several years.
Afraid that the masters would not believe him, Shen Yu took out a silver note of one hundred taels and handed it over on the spot.
"I came out in a hurry this time, so I don't have that much on me. I will definitely make up for the rest later."
"Don't worry, masters. I will go find a craftsman tonight and will have the side hall repaired within ten days."
The house has collapsed, the incident has already happened, and the person who caused the accident is able to pay compensation, which can be considered a blessing from the Buddha.
The masters had no choice but to accept this compensation plan.
The old master was knowledgeable and had seen how treacherous people could be. He was afraid that the boy would never come back, so he just ran away.
"Words are not enough. Why don't you ask your wife to stay in our temple for one night? Tomorrow, when you bring the remaining money and the repairmen, we will take her back."
This means that Wen Wan is to be treated as "collateral".
It's human nature, and it's understandable.
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 just a tool to find the dragon and determine the blood.
It is very cost-effective to use tools to 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 said in a cold voice, "My wife is delicate and can't take care of herself. I'm worried about her leaving her here alone at night."
Frail and unable to take care of herself...
This reason, well, is very good and thoughtful.
The old master frowned, "But..."
Shen Yu took off the jade pendant he carried with him and said, "This jade is worth a thousand gold coins. I'm leaving it here as a token of my love."
The old master was also an expert in knowledge. He took the jade pendant, looked at it, and agreed with a smile.
Shen Yu took Wen Wan's hand and left the Niangniang Temple.
After going down the mountain, Wen Wan couldn't help but ask:
"Why didn't you promise the master to keep me here? Are you... worried about me?"
