Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Pushed by the turbulent current, the boat moved forward as fast as an arrow and soon arrived at the entrance of the waterway that was glowing with a strange green light.

Zhang Qiling, Wu Sansheng and others were on edge, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to engage in battle at any time.

However, Wu Xie, who was protected by everyone, was not at ease. He raised his head curiously, looked left and right, trying to see the surrounding environment clearly.

"Why is this place so green?" Wu Xie couldn't help but mutter.

However, at this moment, they suddenly heard a low roar coming from a distance, as if some huge creature was approaching.

Everyone suddenly became nervous and looked ahead vigilantly.

"Ah! There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"

A deep voice came from behind Wu Sansheng, immediately attracting everyone's attention. It was the burly man who was dancing and roaring like a delicate girl.

Wu Sansheng turned around to check and slapped Da Kui to wake him up. "Are you going to die? Just a drop of water scared you like this? You've grown so big for nothing!"

Da Kui also calmed down after being beaten.

"Ah! Uncle San, where are you looking?"

Wu Sansheng was frightened by the sudden noise and turned around to find that Wu Xie was pointing at the wall where there was a suspended crystal coffin.

"Third Master, there is another crystal coffin over there! No! Why is the coffin empty?" Pan Zi saw another crystal coffin on the other side, but strangely, it was empty inside.

At this time, Wu Sansheng and his friends realized something was wrong, swallowed their saliva, and waved behind them, "I don't think this ancestor will accept the newly collected donkey hoof, Da Kui, bring me an older one."

Wu Sansheng waited for a long time but didn't get what he wanted. When he turned around, he saw Da Kui collapsed on the edge of the boat with his eyes rolled up and foaming at the mouth.

"Made, next time I bring you out, I deserve to be eaten by those ancestors."

Pan Zi hurriedly went over to search the backpack, took out a black animal hoof-like object from it and handed it to Wu Sansheng.

The boat moved forward slowly and finally arrived at the corner.

Wu Sansheng held his hoof in one hand and a knife in the other, while Pan Zi held a gun in one hand and guarded Wu Sansheng and Wu Xie.

Zhang Qiling and Zhang Dahai sat next to Hua Yu with their hands around their knives.

Unfortunately, they didn't see anything strange until they left the cave. Only a figure in white clothes and disheveled hair was kneeling on the riverbank just a few steps away from the cave entrance.

There were a lot of black beetles crawling on that thing, as if they were eager to crawl towards them, but they could not cross the river and could only wander by the water.

"Get out of the cave quickly and don't look back at her."

Hua Yu looked at the man in white kneeling there with pity in his eyes.

Wu Xie thought there would be a big battle to satisfy his curiosity, but nothing happened. When he heard "don't look back", he became even more impatient and couldn't help wanting to look back while rowing.

The result was predictable. He glanced over from the surface of the water and found that the thing that had been kneeling there before was now lying on his back.

Hua Yu stopped Zhang Qiling from knocking him out. In his opinion, curiosity really kills the cat. If he was not taught a lesson, who knows how much trouble the rest of their journey would bring to them.

Wu Xie has received higher education since he was a child, so he never thought that he would encounter a real ghost. He always thought that what his third uncle told him before were all stories and fabricated.

Wu Sansheng and Pan Zi were rowing hard in the front. When they came out of the cave and saw the setting sun, they were still sighing at their good luck as they managed to come out safely.

Before Wu Sansheng could say a word, he heard a "bang" behind him. Looking back, Wu Xie had hit his head on the raft, and there was a faint white smoke coming out of his back.

When Wu Sansheng saw this scene, he knew that his eldest nephew must have been unable to restrain himself and looked back.

Wu Sansheng had to be cautious, rubbing his hands and asking nervously: "Mr. Hua, this. My nephew is ignorant and children are very curious. I don't know what to do?"

Hua Yu leaned lazily in Zhang Qiling's arms, "Don't worry, when we get ashore, we can just use grapefruit leaves to dust off the bad luck. I guess it's just a few days of bad luck! It's nothing life-threatening."

Wu Sansheng didn't hesitate any more after hearing this, he grabbed Wu Xie's clothes and slapped him in the face. Wu Xie's face instantly turned red, and soon a bright red slap mark appeared on his face.

Wu Xie woke up slowly under the effect of the big ear seeds.

"Ah! There's something fishy about Third Uncle! There really is a ghost! He's right beside me..."

Wu Xie turned his head to look at his back, but there was nothing there. He also looked at the water surface but found nothing either. "No! Third Uncle, I really looked just now..."

At this time, Wu Xie reacted and realized that he couldn't look back. He couldn't suppress his curiosity and had to look back. Isn't this confessing himself?

Wu Sansheng shook his red palms while looking at Wu Xie who had just woken up, and said with disgust: "You still know! I thought you were stupid because of studying! How could our Wu family produce a fool like you who can't do anything! With your condition, how can you inherit the family business in the future!"

His words made Wu Xie feel helpless, but he didn't know how to refute. Wu Sansheng continued, "But you can tell from the antique shop your family gave you that you are not cut out for business. You should find a factory to work as a screwsmith as soon as possible!"

This sentence deeply hurt Wu Xie's heart, and he felt that he was greatly insulted. But he did not show it, but just lowered his head silently, secretly determined in his heart to prove his ability.

Wu Sansheng seemed to be completely oblivious to the aggrieved expression on Wu Xie's face, and continued mercilessly: "When I was in charge of that antique shop, although I didn't make a lot of money, I could still make a small profit. But when it came to you, you couldn't even pay the water, electricity and gas bills. Fortunately, the shop is ours, otherwise you would have gone bankrupt a long time ago, right? Maybe now you can only wander under the overpass and keep company with those homeless people!"

After saying that, Wu Sansheng looked up and down at Wu Xie's thin body, and the disdain in his eyes was self-evident. He even mocked, "Look at you, your limbs are weak, you don't know the difference between grains, you can neither write nor have martial arts skills, you are simply a useless piece of shit! Even if you were allowed to wander under the overpass, I guess no one would be willing to take you in!"

When Wu Xie heard these words, his face flushed red, and his heart was filled with shame and anger. He wanted to find a place to hide immediately and never face this cruel reality again.

Soon, the ship docked.

The group packed up their things, and Zhang Dahai deflated the raft and put it away.

Wu Sansheng stood on the shore and looked around, and found a butt behind the big willow tree by the river.

Wu Sansheng walked up and patted the child on the shoulder. Before he could say anything, a shrill scream rang in his ears.

"what!!!!!!"

Wu Sansheng covered his ears and walked up to the child, "Child, stop screaming. I have something to ask you." As he said that, he took out a red bill and waved it twice in front of the child.

The child's expression changed immediately when he saw the red bill. He took the bill with a smile on his face, "Uncle, what do you want to ask? I know all the gossips about the people in this village. Even if you want to ask about the young widow, I can point them out to you one by one."

Wu Sansheng was speechless after listening to what the child said.

"I'm just asking if there's a hotel in your village. We've come a long way and we want to find a place to rest and have some good food. Don't worry, we'll be there for you."

"Our village just had a road two years ago, so there is no hotel. However, there is a guesthouse that was built by the village chief and everyone when the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau came."

Wu Sansheng looked at his group of people who were injured and fell down, and said without further ado, "It's a guesthouse, so it's a guesthouse! Is there hot water?"

The child gave a thumbs up and said, "Of course we have it! Not only hot water, but also internet and electricity."

Wu Sansheng let the child lead the way in front, and they followed behind the child.

As the child passed by a wheat field, he shouted, "Dad, I'm taking people back to the village guesthouse."

There was an echo coming from the wheat field, and the sound of wheat being harvested.

Only then did Wu Sansheng feel relieved. After all, a child suddenly appeared in this remote place with no adult around him. It must have been very strange.

Arriving at the village guesthouse, Wu Sansheng asked around and found out that there were only two rooms left. Wu Sansheng originally wanted to share a room with Panzi Da Kui and Wu Xie, and Hua Yu, Zhang Qiling and Zhang Dahai.

"Please help me go to the village and ask if there are any better places for villagers to live. This is the deposit." Hua Yu took out a stack of money and handed it to the woman standing in front of them.

The woman had never seen so much money before, and she felt like she was seeing a god being worshipped, and she wanted to offer it as an offering.

"Okay, okay. I'll find it for you right away."

The woman turned around and yelled in their local dialect, "Dog, go to the village chief's house and ask if there are any clean and tidy rooms. A wealthy man is coming to live here."

The child responded and ran out like a gust of wind. After a while, he came back and shouted excitedly, "Yes, yes, the village chief and others are ready to welcome us! They are just waiting for the big money man to come."

Hua Yu and a few others followed Gou Zi to the village chief's house, which was indeed several times better than the guesthouse, with blue bricks, red tiles and cement floors.

"This is your room, please feel free to use it." Gouzi introduced enthusiastically.

Hua Yu and others walked into the room and found that it was fully equipped and very clean and tidy, making people feel very comfortable.

"Thank you, little friend." Hua Yu smiled and touched Gouzi's head, then handed Gouzi a hundred-dollar bill.

"You're welcome. If you need any help, you can come to me anytime." The dog nodded obediently, then turned and left.

After washing up, everyone gathered in the lobby of the guesthouse to eat.

Since I didn't have a good meal today, I just ate some biscuits and hot water along the way. Now there are delicious dishes such as braised chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, hot and sour potato shreds, steamed fish, etc.

Wu Sansheng

He Panzi opened a bottle of white wine and drank it with Zhang Dahai. Wu Xie also wanted to try it, but Wu Sansheng slapped his hand away and handed him a bottle of milk.
