Chapter 12 Fork in the Road
After a while, I returned to normal. I immediately grabbed the reins and asked the horse to stop. I also jumped off the horse's back. I hurried into the carriage, dragged the toad spirit's body off the carriage, and then comforted my senior sister.
My senior sister's face was full of tears. When I pulled her dress, she leaned against me and fainted because of her weak body.
"Crazy!"
The dim sky was also drizzling with rain. Ming Beilin urged impatiently, so I could only support my senior sister and lean against the innermost part of the carriage, and then take out a long skirt from the bag to wipe the blood in the carriage.
After I wiped the blood, Ming Beilin entered the carriage. He sat on one side, his chin raised his chin proudly and looked down at me condescendingly.
"Build a temple!" He saw me sitting aside and said.
I looked at the bloody clothes in my hands and came back to my senses from the trance.
"I don't have any silver. I heard that the village spent nearly fifty taels of silver to build that land temple." I looked at the arrogant man in front of me and said.
"Hmph! How can I live in such a dilapidated temple? If I want to build the River God Temple, it must be built with a thousand taels of gold." His tone was quite large.
I stared at him for a while and had a plan.
"Ming Beilin, no, Lord God, although I don't have any money, my master has it. When I find my master, I will definitely build a temple for you." I looked at him with a pleasing smile.
He stared at me with contempt: "Your master, if you really have a thousand taels of silver, why should you live in that broken wooden house? Do you want to play with this god again?"
"I dare not, I dare not!" I waved my hand desperately.
But he thought in his heart that Ming Beilin is quite smart. Although his master has been apart from many evil spirits over the years, he has not collected much money. He always said that he would pay back his sinful debt.
So, a lot of work is just helping and getting money that is only enough to make a living.
"Sir God, my master said that wealth is not exposed, and living in the village is to hide your wealth. You don't know that the world is now in chaos." I looked at him and deceived him.
Seeing Ming Beilin's deep pupils staring at me, I seemed to have a sudden heartbeat, and I was afraid that he would see some flaws.
I could only grit my teeth and pretend to be calm.
His body leaned towards me, and the refreshing breath rushed towards me.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will really kill you and end the Red Luan Knot!" His voice was extremely low, but full of murderous aura.
"Xiyan, don't dare!" I lowered my eyes with guilt.
He snorted coldly after hearing this and sat down again.
At this moment, the horses outside neighed and the carriage began to sway left and right. I was sitting opposite Ming Beilin with my head down, but the carriage swayed and I rushed directly into Ming Beilin's arms.
His arms were filled with a chill, but it made me feel at ease.
"Get out!" Ming Beilin whispered.
I quickly struggled to lean back, while Ming Beilin shook his robe in disgust, as if worried that I would dirty his robe.
"What a thick fog?" When I shook off his robe, I opened the curtain of the car and found a thick fog outside.
The horse couldn't tell the way ahead, so it began to become panic-manic.
I quickly pulled the reins and asked the horse to stop. There were two paths to go out of the village to Yancheng. My master said before that the path facing west had heavy fog and could not leave.
Now, looking at the long fog, we must have gone wrong at the fork in the road just now.
