Chapter 289: "Brother Shepherd."...
"Yingying and I didn't go home after class today." Wenbao was still a little embarrassed to say this obvious thing.
After much hesitation, she chose to omit some details. "I originally wanted to go up the mountain to worship the gods..."
"There has been unrest in the mountains recently. You are so bold." Chen Zhizhi tapped Wen Bao's forehead anxiously and angrily.
Wen Liangyi naturally chimed in. Although he was stern, his words were filled with concern. "Let's see how your sister teaches you a lesson."
"Sister Zhizhi is right." Wenbao scratched his head, his face flushed with embarrassment. "We got lost as soon as we entered the mountain. It took us a while to find the gate to the Wutong Ancestral Temple."
Zhao Qiying's eyes flickered, and though tears still stained her cheeks, she suppressed her panic and testified for Wen Bao, "That's right, that's right."
Wen Yu frowned and thought for a moment. It was said that the mountains were full of magic circles set up by Zhu Shiming to control the monsters. It would be impossible for Xiaobao and Zhao Qiying to break them with their strength.
Then how could the two of them successfully climb the mountain just after getting lost?
"Xiaobao." Wen Yu squatted down, bringing her eye level with Wenbao. "Did you meet anyone during the daytime climb up the mountain?"
For example, there is a certain Zhu Shiming who calls himself an immortal master.
Although he insisted that he had never met Wen Bao and Zhao Qiying, this was really strange. He might be trying to shirk responsibility and avoid the issue.
"How did Aunt know?" Wen Bao was surprised and happy, her eyes shining brightly, as if in her eyes Wen Yu was now an all-powerful and omnipotent person.
Wen Yu raised an eyebrow, knowing Xiao Bao had misunderstood. However, she didn't rush to explain. Instead, she replied vaguely, "Hmm?"
"Today, we went up the mountain thanks to a shepherd boy who led the way." Wen Bao held Zhao Qiying's hands, as if asking for confirmation, "Is that right, Yingying?"
Zhao Qiying was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and held Wen Bao's hand, "Hmm... Hmm!"
"Shepherd boy?" Wen Yu turned to look at Yu Chang beside him and answered doubtfully.
Wen Bao nodded repeatedly, and couldn't wait to explain to Wen Yu, "That's right, thankfully we have the shepherd boy leading the way, otherwise Yingying and I wouldn't know how long we would have to wander around in the mountains."
"What do you mean by shepherd boy? If he leads the way, you should follow him?"
Chen Zhizhi held Wenbao in one hand and Zhao Qiying in the other in a bad mood.
"You two little guys have used all your usual cleverness to fool around with the teacher and cheat on your lessons, haven't you?"
"Ouch, ouch..." Wen Bao snatched back the sleeve from Chen Zhizhi's hand and defended himself aggrievedly, "Sister Zhizhi misunderstood."
Zhao Qiying stopped crying and whispered in a sob, "Brother Shepherd wants to send me and Shengsheng down the mountain, but..."
"Just what?" Wen Liangyi knew that Zhao Qiying couldn't be impatient or urged, but he still couldn't help but ask immediately.
Wen Bao clenched her sleeves tightly with both hands, and the wrinkles on them twitched like her heart, which was filled with fear at the moment. "But I think since I'm here, it would be a pity if I don't go up the mountain..."
The main reason was that she had something important to ask of the Goddess of Spring. She had dragged Zhao Qiying to skip classes and go up the mountain, so there was absolutely no reason for her to turn back halfway.
"Wen Xiaobao!" Chen Zhizhi was extremely angry.
When she thought about how Ah Heng must be blaming himself right now, she felt that Xiaobao was an ignorant guy.
Wen Bao knew he was in the wrong, so he rushed to Wen Yu's arms to seek her support, "Aunt!"
Picking up Xiaobao with ease, Wenyu reluctantly acted as a peacemaker, "Zhizhi, stop making trouble."
It's a good thing that Wenbao and Zhao Qiying are safe and sound.
Everyone was laughing in front of the statue of the God of Spring, their faces filled with joy at having survived a disaster and regained what they had lost. They were finally able to relax for a moment after having suppressed their emotions all day.
The main hall in front of him was bustling with activity. Dan Qing blinked and looked at himself, then at his master. No matter how he looked at himself, he felt redundant.
Fortunately, fortunately, there is Zhao Gong and her mount...
But before he could finish his thoughts or breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Zhu Zhao's figure flash into the door.
"..." The corners of Dan Qing's lips twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to call his master, but after stealing a few glances at the Emperor, reason told him that it would be better not to make a sound.
Although the master wasn't usually very amiable, he still had a touch of gentleness beneath his indifference. How could he be like this today...
His complexion is like frost and snow, and his face is like a glacier.
Inside the Wutong Ancestral Hall, Zhuzhao took the opportunity to interject, "I told you before, I've never met the person you're talking about."
"I don't know who refuses to believe it." He seemed very dissatisfied with Wen Yu's previous misunderstanding.
Wen Yu glanced at him, too lazy to argue with him. Seeing Bu Wenjun chasing after him and grabbing Zhu Shiming back in two moves, she shrugged indifferently, lowered her eyes to look at Wen Bao in her arms and asked, "Xiao Bao, what happened next?"
In response to Zhuzhao's protest of "Hey, hey!", Zhao Buwen lazily covered his ears, then took out a small fish from the fish basket and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Hmm, hmm——” Zhuzhao’s eyes widened in disbelief, and it seemed as if he wanted to say something.
Zhao Buwen smiled apologetically and put his index finger to his lips, "Talk less and eat more."
She is good in every way, but it would be even better if she had a mute groom.
"later……"
Wen Bao couldn't help but glance at Zhao Buwen behind her. She had never seen this sister before.
"Later, the shepherd boy escorted Yingying and me all the way up the mountain. But when we entered the Wutong Ancestral Temple, I don't know where all these things came from..."
As he spoke, Wen Bao's tone became noticeably weaker, and he was clearly shocked by what he had seen during the day.
The tears that had just dried on Zhao Qiying's face suddenly slid down again, "Shengsheng! I'm scared!"
"It's okay! It's okay, Yingying!" Wen Bao didn't know where he got the courage from, and comforted Zhao Qiying seriously, "Those monsters are gone."
Even so, she still felt a chill down her spine when she recalled the scene at that time.
"Even so, you still refuse to go down the mountain?" The shepherd boy glanced at Wen Bao curiously, with confusion between his furrowed brows.
Wen Bao forced himself to stand up despite his weak legs. He looked at Zhao Qiying who had fallen on his butt beside him, and helped him up in a few seconds, letting him lean half of his body on himself.
"I, I have something to ask the Goddess of Spring." After thinking it over, Wen Bao explained in a low voice.
Behind the mountain gate, a monster with a green face and fangs was staring at her and Zhao Qiying motionlessly, as if it was about to rush over and eat them alive.
What's this……
Could it be the bodyguard of the Goddess of Spring?
But she had been to Wutong Ancestral Temple several times before, and had never seen such a scene...
"It's really the most important thing." Wen Bao muttered to himself, thinking of what his sister said last night.
She repeated this sentence unconsciously, not knowing whether she was trying to convince the shepherd boy or herself.
The shepherd boy stared at her for a moment, sighed faintly, and finally gave in. "Then remember—"
…
"What do you remember?" Chen Zhizhi, who was listening attentively, asked hurriedly.
Wen Liangyi, who was standing beside her, also had eyes that sparkled with anticipation. "What else did he say?"
On the other hand, Wen Yu and Yu Chang remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
"He told me to stay in the main hall and never leave this threshold." Wen Bao raised his hand and pointed to where she had just sat.
It was as if the fog had dissipated and all the unclear questions were answered.
Wen Yu turned his head and glanced over, suddenly understanding.
Gathering Feng Shui internally and blocking out evil spirits externally...that is the threshold.
Wen Bao and Zhao Qiying inside the gate are protected by the golden body of the God of Spring. The many monsters and beasts outside the gate dare not approach them no matter what, thus ensuring their safety.
No wonder Wenbao didn't dare to step out of the door no matter how anxious he was after seeing her just now.
Wen Yu suppressed her laughter and scratched the tip of Wen Bao's nose. He was quite alert and deserved praise.
"Thank God, you weren't taken away." While Chen Zhizhi was lecturing, his face was full of relief for surviving the disaster.
"Brother Mu Tong is right." Wen Bao smiled and couldn't help but praise, "This threshold really has a miraculous effect."
Yu Chang's eyebrows twitched, and he glanced at Wen Bao perfunctorily.
The threshold doesn't have any miraculous effect. It just borrows some luck from the statue of the God of Spring.
Moreover, with so many people disappearing one after another in the mountains, it's truly bizarre that anyone would still come here to graze their livestock.
"Where did the boy go?" Yu Chang's voice was flat, without any emotional fluctuations.
But Wen Yu knew that he had tried his best to get close to Wen Bao.
Yu Chang doesn't like to talk much, so it's rare for him to speak like this.
Wen Bao, for some reason, suddenly flinched. "He, he sent us to the main hall and then went home."
Now that she thought about it, the shepherd brother only said that she would be fine if she stayed in the temple, but he didn't tell her how to go out or how to go down the mountain?
Faced with Yu Chang's low mood, Wen Bao began to stutter when speaking, and only then realized how rash the decision he made in a hurry was.
I wonder if the Goddess of Spring can hear her wish...
She took such a big risk to go up the mountain to worship the gods, so she must get what she wants.
Please, it must, must work.
"Hmm..." Yu Chang replied calmly, but after a pause, he said, "Xiao...bao."
"Ah..." Wen Bao responded blankly.
What kind of address is this, Lord Yu? She was flattered and overwhelmed.
Not only her, but also Chen Zhizhi and Wen Liangyi beside them looked at each other in confusion. Lord Yu seemed...
How should I put it? It seems different from yesterday.
Unlike Yu Chang's doubts, Wen Yu was now immersed in the good result that Wen Bao and Zhao Qiying were safe and sound, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps it was a shepherd boy who was familiar with the situation in the mountains and happened to pass by here and saved Wen Bao and the others. No matter what the process was, as long as the current result was good, she would thank God.
"Sister..." Wen Bao murmured belatedly.
Her sudden voice broke the silence of everyone, and Chen Zhizhi spoke first.
"Do you still remember your sister?"
Chen Zhizhi was extremely grateful in his heart, but pretended to be angry on his face and joked with Wenbao seriously.
"I thought you had forgotten your own name, so how could you remember your sister?"
He is only seven or eight years old now, but he doesn't know his place. If he is not restrained, he will be in big trouble when he grows up. He might even poke a hole in the sky!
"Don't look at me, don't look at me." Wen Liangyi has been following Chen Zhizhi since he was a child, so naturally he is speaking for her now. It's time for Wen Xiaobao to learn a lesson.
"No, Sister Zhizhi." Wen Bao stared outside the hall without blinking, as if in disbelief. "It's really Sister, and..."
Looking at the people who appeared in front of her, she even suspected that she was hallucinating because she was scared by those monsters.
Wen Bao couldn't help but think...
It was worth her trip, the Goddess of Spring is really effective.
