Zhang Yan, who had burped from wine, had already stood up and walked out as he said: "The senior brothers you mentioned have already ordered people to make arrangements."
When he reached the door, he paused for a moment. Zhang Yan looked back at Wei Yang and said solemnly: "Although the head brother and I suspect that the other party has probably sneaked into Dahe City, this is just a guess. Maybe the other party is still there. It’s really hidden somewhere outside the city, so you all should be careful when you go there.”
Hearing the care and love in Zhang Yan's words, Wei Yang smiled slightly and cupped his hands at Zhang Yan's back: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will be careful."
As night falls, in the Du's restaurant on the street, the owner Du Wuzheng, who has been busy for most of the day, is putting away the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks in preparation for closing time while enduring the nagging of his mother-in-law.
"Tell me, why did you accidentally give that person such a precious incense candle while praying for blessings during the day? You know that such an incense candle is worth one or two silver coins. We two worked so hard for three days. Only then can you earn enough money for an incense candle."
As she said this, Mrs. Du, the boss lady, saw that her man was just immersed in packing things and paying no attention to her, and she couldn't help but said anxiously: "I can tell you, you have to change your temperament of giving away money and giving alms when you don't see the suffering of others. If there's anything else, I won’t be done with you next time…”
Listening to his mother-in-law's nagging, Du Wu couldn't help but grin and responded with two "ums". He had heard this kind of nagging countless times, but his mother-in-law looked so reluctant now. But every time he really gave away something, in front of outsiders, she never said a word of objection.
"boss!"
The couple was about to close the door when they suddenly saw a figure appearing at the door. Du Wu and his wife recognized the person at a glance by the light.
"Hey, it's you, little brother. Come here now. Is there something wrong?"
The person standing at the door was none other than Huang Huai, who had walked back here unknowingly.
It was already approaching evening, and Huang Huai couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about what happened during this day.
Now he came to find Du Wu, naturally to repay Du Wu for giving him incense and candles during the day. For most of the day, Huang Huai listened to the words of those who had been blessed earlier.
If it was as he guessed, if there hadn't been the obviously good incense candle given to him by Du Wu at that time, I'm afraid he would have been like some unprepared people and could only receive a few blessings. It will be as great as it is now.
Even Huang Huai has found out that such an incense candle is worth at least one tael of silver, and one tael of silver in this big river city is enough for a family of four to cover ordinary expenses for ten days and a half.
He had accepted Du Wu's favor in vain, and even paid her a meal for nothing. If there was nothing in return, it would be very embarrassing for him.
Looking at Du Wu and his wife, Huang Huaidang took out a silver ingot about the size of a walnut from his arms and handed it to Du Wudao: "Thanks to the boss for giving me incense and candles during the day, I didn't miss the opportunity to be blessed by God. , this is a little thought, please accept it, boss."
Looking at the silver ingot handed over by Huang Huai, Du Wu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's just a piece of incense candle, not something valuable. My little brother is alone, so he must have money with him. Du must never accept this money."
Du Shi, who had been nagging Du Wu just now, waved her hand and said: "They say that it is not easy for a poor family to get rich when going out. Little brother, please put the money away quickly."
Apparently both the couple saw the baggage Huang Huai was carrying and saw that he had no companions, so they guessed that Huang Huai was out alone.
Seeing that the two of them refused to accept it, and even attracted the attention of some passers-by while pushing and shoving, Du Wu and his wife introduced Huang Huai into the store and made it clear that they would not accept the ingot of silver that Huang Huai gave them.
Huang Huai pondered for a moment and put away the money, then took out a palm-sized mirror from the package and handed it to Du, "Since you two are unwilling to accept the money, please be sure to accept this."
When Huang Huai came to this world, he was well prepared. He had a silver ingot, a gold bracelet, a small glass mirror, a bag of salt wrapped in yellow paper, and a handful of salt that he took out from the Zizhenguan kitchen. There are about a few dozen grains of rock candy, plus a string of artificially cultivated fine pearls. Although there are not many things, if you look at 99% of the ancient world, it can be said that they are all valuable items. Sufficient to handle most situations.
"Hey, this is the glass mirror sold by Wanbao Building in Dahemen. How many taels of silver does a slap like this cost?"
Du Wu and his wife had obviously seen glass mirrors before, so they were not too surprised by the glass mirror Huang Huai took out.
Huang Huai's heart moved when he heard this. It seems that glass has appeared in this world and can even be sold normally. Although the value is as he expected, it is worth dozens or hundreds of taels of silver, but it is still of little value. If he was trying to make money from the price difference between the two worlds, the glass mirror alone would be enough for him to make a lot of money.
Du Wu rolled his eyes at Du Shi, who was looking at the mirror expectantly, and said to Huang Huai, "Little brother..."
But this time, Huang Huai didn't wait for Du Wu to speak. He put down the glass mirror and turned around to leave. He walked out of the store and said: "It's just a glass mirror. Compared with the blessings from God for brother Du's help, it's nothing. If you two don't accept it, wouldn't it make me feel uneasy?"
By the time Du Wu and his wife reacted, Huang Huai had already walked away quickly and disappeared into the night.
The couple looked at each other, and Mrs. Du rubbed the glazed mirror with fondness on her face and said to Du Wu: "This little brother is a man of repayment. As the head of the family, this mirror..."
Du Wu looked at the streets where the number of pedestrians was gradually sparse, and said with a hint of worry on his face: "Since that little brother insists on staying, madam, just accept him."
At this moment, Mrs. Du noticed something was wrong with Du Wu's expression. She followed Du Wu's gaze and looked outside, and couldn't help but said: "Master, what are you..."
Du Wu withdrew his eyes, closed the shop door first, and then whispered to Mrs. Du: "Didn't you hear people say during the day that more than a hundred people in Niujia Village were wiped out overnight? It is said that it was the work of the possessed god. , if the other party enters the city..."
When Du Shi heard this, her expression changed greatly. She almost dropped the mirror in her hand in fright. Her eyes were full of panic and she said: "Master, please don't scare me. This...if this is true, I don't know how many people will die." Man! That little brother just now..."
Du Wu said with an annoyed look: "That little brother looks like a foreigner. He left in a hurry just now, but he forgot to remind him. Now I just hope that he can be vigilant and find a safe place as soon as possible." Let’s settle down.”
Mrs. Du held the glazed mirror and comforted her: "Don't worry, my boss. That little brother will be fine."
As she said that she seemed to have thought of something, Mrs. Du pulled Du Wu and said, "Come with me and burn incense to pray to the house god we invited, asking him to keep our house peaceful and free from the evil spirits and evil spirits of gods and demons."
Du Wu followed Du Shi to the backyard. Seeing the uneasiness in Du Shi's eyes, he couldn't help but comfort Du Shi's mood and said: "Don't worry, it's not like there haven't been possessed gods in the city who have killed people in recent years, but the real victims are almost all those nights. Homeless homeless people with no place to live, or people whose homes are not guarded by statues of gods such as the God of House Control and the God of Family Protection.”
While talking, the two of them had already walked into the backyard, and soon came to a specially arranged room. When they opened the door, a faint scent of incense filled the air.
