Chapter 247 Mr. Zombie 14

Seeing this, Uncle Jiu was about to get angry, but Ren Yinyin pushed all the money in front of him to him.

"Master, please keep it for me!" Anyway, the master would give her money for whatever she wanted to buy, so there was no point in keeping it.

When Qiu Sheng Wencai saw this, he felt sad and dared not complain. He quietly gathered the ocean in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Jiu had been watching them for a long time. He first praised the well-behaved little apprentice with satisfaction, "Don't worry, my dear apprentice, Master will keep it for you!"

Then, he held down Wencai and Qiusheng's money and shoved it in front of him, "Master will save it for you two, to prevent you from wasting money!"

"Master, I..." Wencai carefully pulled at his slightly worn and faded clothes, frowned, and said with a sad face, "I haven't bought new clothes for a long time! Look at this dress of mine now, it's become white and thin from washing, and there are several patches on it! If this continues, others will see my poor appearance and laugh at our sect!"

Uncle Jiu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he heard this. He recalled thoughtfully, "That's not right. I remember you just bought a new set of clothes not long ago. Why are you complaining to me now that you don't have anything new to wear?"

Uncle Jiu has always had an excellent memory and is well aware of his apprentices' daily expenses.

At this moment, Qiu Sheng, who had been standing silently nearby, suddenly came forward with a broad smile and said, "Master, please be kind and leave us a little more pocket money! I promise I won't spend it recklessly. I just want to buy some delicious food to honor you! Think about it, you work so hard all day, teaching us and answering our questions. If you can't even taste a delicious meal, it would be so heartbreaking!"

Hearing Qiu Sheng's sweet words, the tense expression on Uncle Jiu's face gradually relaxed. He nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Well, you still have some conscience. Well, for the sake of your filial piety, I will show some leniency this time and give each of you two dollars!"

As he spoke, Uncle Jiu took out a cloth bag from his arms, took out the six silver dollars inside and handed them to Ren Yinyin, Qiu Sheng and Wencai.

However, just as Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were about to happily take the money, Uncle Jiu suddenly retracted his hand. He looked sternly at the two apprentices who were staring at the money in his hands, and shouted in a deep voice, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you thank Master quickly? Don't you know the etiquette?"

After being scolded by their master, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai suddenly woke up from their dream and shouted in unison, "Thank you, Master!"

Seeing how well-behaved and obedient the two were, Uncle Jiu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, that's more or less okay. Okay, let's get on with our business!"

After handing four dollars to the two men, Uncle Jiu turned and walked into the house, preparing to find a safe and secluded place to hide the remaining money.

At this time, Qiu Sheng and Wencai, who stayed where they were, looked at each other, and turned around at the same time to glare fiercely at their junior sister Ren Yinyin who was laughing secretly.

Facing the gazes of the two senior brothers, Ren Yinyin was not afraid at all. Instead, he playfully stuck out his tongue at them, then grinned and said with a face, "Hehehe, it's no use for you two to glare at me! Even if Master doesn't give me money, I have plenty of money myself!"

Before she finished her words, she skipped away like a happy little bird.

……

Early that morning, when Ren Yinyin arrived at the charity cemetery, he saw his master sitting in the hall with a very unhappy expression on his face.

Wencai was cleaning while looking at Qiu Sheng who was sitting in the rocking chair...

Qiu Sheng was snoring all morning and had no idea that his master was glaring at him angrily.

Ren Yinyin walked forward and saw bright red marks on Qiu Sheng's neck as he slept on his side. She understood what was going on.

Even if you haven't eaten pork, at least you have seen a pig run!

Besides, the descriptions in those storybooks are very clear. Ren Yinyin is not a silly girl who knows nothing. How could she not know what that trace is?

If he had just lost Yuanyang, Uncle Jiu wouldn't be so angry!

It's normal for a grown man to have that thought!

However, Qiu Sheng's eyes were bruised and purple, and his face was pale and haggard. This didn't seem like he was with someone...

But I encountered a female ghost!

"He's still a playboy!" Wencai and his junior sister discussed in a low voice.

"What are you talking about?" Uncle Jiu had sharp ears. When he heard Wencai's words, he turned his head and glared at him.

……

It was not until the night fell completely and it was pitch black all around that Qiu Sheng slowly woke up.

He rubbed his eyes, looked up at the sky, his face changed instantly, he became extremely anxious, and without saying a word he stood up and prepared to leave.

Wencai, who was standing by, saw this and quickly reached out to stop him. He asked with concern, "Qiu Sheng, you've been sleeping for a whole day! What on earth has you been so tired?"

Qiu Sheng scratched his head sheepishly and answered hesitantly, "When I went back last night, there were constant lightning and thunder in the sky, and the rain was pouring down like a river bursting its banks. I had no choice but to quickly find a place to shelter from the rain... But it was cold and damp there, and I couldn't sleep well at all. That's why I'm so sleepy today."

At this moment, Ren Yinyin and Wencai, who were standing nearby, looked at each other, then pretended to be very confused and said, "Did it rain last night? Why don't I remember it at all?"

"Yeah!" Wencai also shook his head and agreed, "I remember it clearly. The moon was big and round last night, shining brightly on the ground. How could there be any thunderstorm?"

Hearing this, a flicker of embarrassment crossed Qiu Sheng's face, but he quickly covered it up with a dry laugh, muttering, "Haha, maybe the weather conditions are different in every place! Anyway, it really rained heavily over my place!"

After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to the two of them and hurriedly left.

When Qiu Sheng passed by Uncle Jiu, he paused for a moment, bowed hastily to Uncle Jiu, and said, "Master, I'll take my leave first. If I don't hurry home, my aunt will be worried to death!"

However, Uncle Jiu just snorted coldly and scolded in a low voice: "Huh, you are thinking about your aunt now?"

Looking at Qiu Sheng's impatient look, as if he wanted to fly back home immediately, Uncle Jiu shook his head helplessly and sighed inwardly.

Mesmerized!

……

"Wencai, Yinyin, you guys stay in this charity cemetery and don't run around. I will be back soon!" Uncle Jiu put on a Taoist robe quickly and neatly, holding the peach wood sword tightly in his right hand, and then chased in the direction of Qiu Sheng's departure without hesitation.

Ren Yinyin, who was standing aside, looked at Uncle Jiu's receding back, thought for a moment, turned to look at Wencai, and said, "Senior brother, I always feel a little worried. I want to go and take a look. Maybe I can lend a hand to Master!" Before she finished speaking, she rushed out of the gate of the charity cemetery as fast as a gust of wind.

Seeing this, Wencai couldn't help but reach out his hand anxiously to stop it, but his reaction was too slow and he could only watch Ren Yinyin disappear from his sight.
