There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

Chapter 25 The boat returns 05
Shen Huihe's faint smile froze on his pale face, but deep down he was wondering how could Li Yun, a wealthy and well-off man, have such an innocent, simple, frank little follower!
"Aunt Miao, actually we -"

Aunt Miao interrupted her: "Ms. Shen, we, the master and the servant, are going to Jianchuan Mansion. We have different routes, and it will take a long time, so I can't bother you anymore. Thank you, Mrs. Shen, for your kindness. Then I took my leave."

Zhenniang grabbed her sleeves and blinked her small round eyes that were as bright as stars. The corners of her eyes were scarlet, and her face was full of reluctance.

Shen Huihe squatted down, smoothed the soft hair on her forehead, and comforted her softly: "Mother Zhen, it's okay, Aunt Miao is with you."

Zhenniang turned around and looked at Aunt Miao who was packing the remaining luggage of the two of them.She was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and gently held her wrist, motioning her to lower her head.

"Zhenniang, what's wrong?"

"Ms. Shen, when you encounter water, your hair will grow. Just let nature take its course."

Shen Huihe was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Zhenniang, what are you—"

Zhenniang shook her head with a smile: "Ms. Shen, see you later."

"Mother Zhen, see you later." Shen Huihe's smile filled his eyes, sincere and reluctant.

Two days later, in the mountains and forests.

"Ms. Shen——"

"Ms. Shen——"

"Ms. Shen——"

Shen Huihe walked in front, and Liu Wei followed her step by step, still talking about Mrs. Shen.

She sighed helplessly and turned back to look at him: "Okay, okay, Awei, my ears are about to get calloused. Can you please stop for a moment?"

"Ms. Shen, one bite will make you wiser. I really know that I was wrong." He raised his hand and held the sword in salute, frowning slightly, and the bleak look on his face lingered.

He told her in detail that the fence that originally sealed Black Corner Village was broken by his horse, and that he sneaked out without the permission of his young master and caused trouble.

Mrs. Shen is his savior. In any case, this matter started because of him. The search for the Earth Dragon Vine is his responsibility.

"Okay, okay, I'll just forgive you." Shen Huihe stroked one side of his forehead, his face full of helplessness, "Okay, Awei, but you don't have to follow me along the way. Do you think I'm capable of this?" How can we still suffer a loss?!"

"Ms. Shen, although your teachings are profound, people in the world are sinister. It's always good to have one more person to take care of you. My young master said that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Madam Shen, I must help you find him. Earth Dragon Vine.”

Shen Huihe looked at the handsome young man speaking such righteous, mature and elegant words, and felt a little emotional and cherished.

She may have conquered more demons and ghosts over the years than Li Yun has killed Beidi people!What's more, he is such a frank, innocent and unreserved young man like him when he first entered the world!
"Okay, okay, let's stop saying these docile words. I'm just a straight person, so don't feel wronged." She raised her eyes and looked at the sky to one side. The sky was gradually getting darker, and there was still a sky in the distance. Thin wisps of smoke rising from the kitchen indicate that there are fireworks.

"It's getting late today, let's go find a place to stay as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, Madam Shen, I have been walking for two days and two nights, and I can finally find a place to rest." His slightly frowned brows suddenly brightened, and an innocent smile gradually spread to the corners of his eyes.

The two walked side by side, chatting incessantly.

"Mrs. Shen, since I have grown so old, this is the first time I have seen a Taoist lady with such powerful magic skills like Mrs. Shen!" His tone was high, with a hint of admiration and joy in his clear voice. . "You are only thirteen or fourteen years old, how many powerful people have you seen!" She smiled noncommittally.

Liu Wei chuckled a few times and said with a stunned look on his face: "I, although I am young, my young master used to be a famous and powerful figure."

"Oh, I have been traveling around the world for so many years, but I have never heard of your young master Li Yun's name!"

Liu Wei was startled, and even more excitedly jumped for joy: "I think Madam Shen has never been to Guanzhong, Chang'an or the Beidi Desert. My young master used to be a frightening general who could defeat a hundred enemies with one!"

Shen Huihe curled his lips and rubbed one ear in disgust: "Since he is a general, why is he so lonely now that he becomes the leader of a small caravan? Ah Wei, you can't talk nonsense!"

"I, I won't lie!" He paused, looking anxious but slightly flinching, and said with some difficulty, "My young master, he, he is, but -"

"But what?!"

"Forget it, forget it!" Liu Wei waved his hand, his eyes returning to rationality, "Let's talk about it someday!"

Shen Huihe only thought that he had a childish nature and was eager to protect his master, and patted his shoulder nonchalantly: "That's all, let's talk about it later when you want to."

After running around for three days and three nights, the two finally found a dilapidated inn next to a private road - Pingjiang Inn.

"I have invited you two guests. Would you like to have tea or stay at the hotel?" The boy in front of the door had just taken care of one or two horses in the stable and turned around to greet them enthusiastically.

"Sir, are there any guest rooms?"

"Yes, yes, please come in." The boy welcomed the two of them into the inn.

This inn is even more shabby than the outside. There is a lot of dust accumulated on the cabinets and tables. The cool breeze is coming from the window boxes on both sides, and the wind is leaking, which makes the edges of the window boxes clank.

"Find us two clean guest rooms!"

The two of them followed the boy as they walked inside, bypassing a short corridor with a broken roof that leaked light, and finally arrived at their private room.

"East Room [-] and East Room [-], please take a rest. If you need anything, just call me."

"Okay, thank you little brother. Can you boil some pots of hot water for me?" Shen Huihe also gave him a few more copper coins.

"Okay!" The boy accepted the silver with a smile and ran away.

Although this guest room is shabby, it still has a soft bed, which is better than sleeping in the mountains and forests, exposed to the wind and sun.

Pushing open the small window at the back, what comes into view is a simple small green pond. Although it is not big, the surface of the lake is clear and quiet. The small fish and shrimps swim around in it, making small ripples. Free and carefree.

She was leaning on the edge of the bed, and was about to straighten the talisman under her sleeves, when she suddenly stopped in her hand, and there was an unexpected object in her hand that did not belong to her.

It’s a lotus pattern finger ring that’s only half the size of a finger!
How did this ring end up in her hand? !And it's still in her sleeves? !

Did that little lady give it to you? !
