Just when Ren Quan thought that his call would fall on deaf ears, Pei Yaozhou's deep voice was heard.
"You'd better have something extremely urgent to report, or forget about your year-end bonus."
Ren Quan's hands were shaking as he held the phone. He felt that this matter was quite important, but what if Mr. Pei San thought it was not important? Wouldn't all the cash have to say goodbye to him?
"Don't scare him, the child is so pitiful." Shen Ruoxi's voice came from the other end of the phone again.
Yes, madam!
Ren Quan felt that the voice was like the sound of nature. As expected, his wife was his god and the only light on his thorny road!
"I'll give you one minute to make this short. There are 59 seconds left..."
Ren Quan immediately spoke up: "The mayor of Nanping Town called me and said that something strange happened when they were building the Hope Primary School."
"There's a piece of land they were planning to build a teaching building on, but they couldn't get the foundation down. They asked several masters to look at it, and they all said it was a haunted place and there was nothing they could do."
"I think this is where the children in town go to school. The sooner it's completed, the sooner the children can enter the campus living room. For the time being... it can be considered an urgent matter."
In the end, Ren Quan felt a little lacking in confidence.
"It's a big deal for the children to go to school. There must be something wrong with the feng shui. I'll go take a look this afternoon." Shen Ruoxi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
At this moment, Ren Quan just wanted to kneel down, kowtow to his beloved wife, and shout, "Wife, you are my God!"
*
In the afternoon, Pei Yaozhou accompanied Shen Ruoxi to Nanping Town.
The mayor didn't expect that just a few words from him could lead to the invitation of two giant Buddha statues, and he felt flattered.
Shen Ruoxi wanted to go over and take a look, but was nervously stopped by the mayor.
"Miss Shen, that place is too weird. Anyone who has been in there has fallen ill after coming out. You are a rich lady, so it's better not to go there."
Shen Ruoxi took out a bunch of talisman paper and handed it to the mayor: "Dissolve the talisman paper with water and give it to the person who is sick because of this. They should be cured tomorrow."
The mayor stared at the talisman in his hand, standing there in a daze until Ren Quan came over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Mayor Zhang, Mrs. Xin is absolutely right!"
The mayor's mouth twitched, and although he nodded and said "OK", he was still full of doubts in his heart.
However, he still handed the talisman paper to the people around him and did as Shen Ruoxi said, just as a last resort.
And when he saw that his attempt to stop her was fruitless, he had no choice but to follow Shen Ruoxi to the construction site where Hope Primary School was located.
When the villagers at the construction site heard that Shen Ruoxi was going in, they were like frightened birds and rushed forward to stop her.
Even Aunt Wang came to dissuade Shen Ruoxi.
"My daughter, listen to Auntie and don't go in. Mayor Zhang has already asked the town to invite a high-ranking monk. We can't joke with our lives."
Shen Ruoxi smiled and held Aunt Wang's hand: "Don't worry, Auntie, I know what's going on. The sooner this Hope Primary School is built, the sooner your granddaughter can go to school."
Aunt Wang was touched that Shen Ruoxi took the risk for the children in the village.
Seeing Shen Ruoxi walk in despite everyone’s obstruction, everyone shook their heads.
"If a big, strong man like us goes in, we will be too sick to get out of bed when we come out. If a young girl like Miss Shen goes in, I'm afraid something bad will happen!"
"We've said everything we need to say. If she refuses to listen, what else can we do? Besides, her husband won't stop her, so there's nothing we can do about it."
"You can't say that. Miss Shen took the risk for our Hope Primary School. When they were recording the variety show before, Miss Shen and Mr. Pei were the ones who saved money and donated the most!"
Aunt Wang was worried and went straight to Pei Yaozhou: "You are Ruoxi's husband, right? We are not kidding. We really can't go to this place, especially for a girl like her. Please persuade Ruoxi to come back!"
Pei Yaozhou frowned, obviously worried, but he did not stop Shen Ruoxi.
"I won't interfere with her decision, but I will protect her." After saying that, Pei Yaozhou followed in.
Seeing this, everyone sighed and lamented.
"They are all good people, but unfortunately they don't listen to advice!"
The mayor's hands were shaking, and he deeply regretted making that call to Ren Quan. If anything happened to Mr. Pei San, would he be able to continue investing in the town?
…
When Shen Ruoxi stepped into the foundation of the teaching building, she felt that the surrounding magnetic field had changed slightly.
Although she was surrounded by steel and concrete, she vaguely saw a familiar room. The layout of the room was exactly the same as her master's room.
She slowly walked to the end of the room, and suddenly a ray of light fell down, and a crisp "ding-ling" sound came to her ears.
She squatted down, looked past the shadow in front of her, and dug the soil on the ground with her hands where the light fell.
Suddenly, a warm feeling came from the fingertips.
Shen Ruoxi's eyes flashed, and she sped up the digging. In the soil, there was actually a pure ink-colored jade pendant with a dragon pattern, and this jade pendant was very familiar to her.
It was the jade pendant that her master always carried with him!
Why is Master’s jade pendant here?
And why did she happen to dig up this jade pendant?
Does this have any special meaning to her?
Did Master foresee all this?
Many questions swirled in her mind.
"Ruoxi." Pei Yaozhou's worried voice came to his ears.
Shen Ruoxi turned her head to look at Pei Yaozhou, revealing a reassuring smile: "I'm fine, I just found an old item."
When Shen Ruoxi picked up the jade pendant from the soil, the phantoms that had just appeared before her eyes disappeared in an instant, and even the subtle changes in the magnetic field disappeared.
Everything is back to normal.
So weird!
It was as if the master had deliberately led her here and led her to find the jade pendant.
What is the connection between these?
Half an hour had passed, and outside the construction site, everyone was in a heated discussion.
They suspected that something had happened to Shen Ruoxi and Pei Yaozhou, and it was even possible that they were too weak to collapse inside and could not get out.
After discussion, we decided that the best way was to send someone in to pick them up.
However, no one is willing to be the one to respond.
Finally, Aunt Wang slapped her thigh and said, "You grown men are not as brave as young girls. If you don't go, I will!"
Having said that, he wiped his hands on his apron and walked in bravely despite everyone's attempts to stop him.
But just as she entered, she saw Shen Ruoxi and Pei Yaozhou holding hands and walking out from the direction of the teaching building together.
Aunt Wang hurried forward, looked Shen Ruoxi up and down, and asked in surprise: "Girl, are you okay?"
