C87 (1/2)

Xiaowan opened his eyes, jumped up from the bed and rushed towards the door, wanting to see if her wish had been fulfilled. Ling Chaofeng grabbed her and said: ”You're just going to run out like this?”

She leaned against the window and looked down. Indeed …

The couple quickly dressed up. When they went downstairs, Ershan and the others also came out, opening the shop door, only to see ten or so people lying on the ground in front of the inn. Susu was afraid and hid behind Da Qing, while Da Qing used his leg to touch the people lying on the ground, causing them to be unconscious.

”Xiaowan, take a look, isn't that the customer who stayed at our store last time? And that person, he was the one who collected the antiques at the town's entrance.” Susu ran over and said excitedly, ”We just arrived here and they're lying on the ground. We don't even know where they came from.”

Ling Chaofeng went forward and checked, and sure enough, the two guests from before were there as well. Although they had their eyes closed, they could still recognize them, there were antiques people from the town, some were selling antiques in the mountains, and some were trying to raise the price.

Xiaowan ran to the stable and shouted, ”Master, come and see.”

Everyone followed the horse and saw a heavy chest placed at the foot of the horse. Inside the chest, there were all kinds of money bags. The amount of silver in each bag varied, it must be the money they stole from breaking in the gates.

Aunt Zhang looked around, and Amitabha recited, ”Is this Bodhisattva showing his power, or a hero secretly helping out? How could there be such a good thing in the world?”

Everyone was very happy, the Xiaowan even more so, proudly opened a purse, weighed the silver ingot in it, and said, ”This time the unconscious official has nothing to say.”

Ling Chaofeng was looking at her silently. The others seemed to be happy, and did not realize, why did Xiaowan know that there was such a box in the stable. And what did she say last night when she was kneeling in front of the window? She had just woken up, as if he knew what could have happened, and was so excited that she was about to run out and see.

”Shopkeeper, should we send it to the yamen or sell it to the slave traders?” Uncle Biao asked.

”Let me think. First, tie them up tightly and pile them in the backyard. Don't let anyone see them.” After Ling Chaofeng finished, he went upstairs alone.

Xiaowan followed along as she said happily, ”Hubby, let's see how they will make things difficult for you now.”

Ling Chaofeng was inexplicably serious. ”Could it be that Bodhisattva has appeared, or a friend from the underworld is helping me? This is a story for the future. I have to think about how to deal with the County Magistrate now.”

Xiaowan was a little guilty, afraid that Ling Chaofeng would see through her. Furthermore, she was too excited just now. If Master asked her what to do, if she could not tell him clearly, could it be that he had to tell him about the Jade Ring's magic? That would not do, she still wanted to keep this ring.

She made up her mind. No matter what, she would pretend not to know.

”Late.” Ling Chaofeng stopped and looked at his wife deeply.

”Hmm?” Xiaowan tried her best to look fine.

Ling Chaofeng frowned, looking at his wife's beautiful face in front of him. He suddenly felt that he had gone too far.

Maybe it was because of his curiosity that Xiaowan saw the boxes in the stable or because she really made a wish to the heavens and thought that she could do it. She was always so lively, and anything was worth being happy for a while.

He was the most clear about the background of the Xiaowan s, and that was all.

Ling Chaofeng's vision went blank, and that strange feeling ran away again. It was just that every time it happened, it would happen in an instant. But in an instant, he felt nothing and returned to normal. He would not think about what was going on after this feeling passed.

Moreover, at this moment, he felt that his wild imagination had let down the Xiaowan.

”I'm hungry, hurry up and get the Uncle Biao to make breakfast.” Ling Chaofeng said, ”We will discuss on how to handle this matter.”

The Xiaowan heaved a sigh of relief and ran downstairs happily, yelling, ”Uncle Biao, I want to eat noodles.”

Uncle Biao entered the kitchen, and in a few breaths, he fried a bowl of soy sauce and noodles. He cut the cucumber shredded onion, and with the green bean soup that he cooked last night, the whole family was completely full.

Xiaowan rubbed her stomach as she went to the backyard and took a look, but she still couldn't wake them up. Naturally, this was all thanks to her.

When everyone was discussing the arrangements for the next few days, Xiaowan was filled with thoughts on how to make a wish with the Jade Ring.

She had to consider whether these people would be able to see the people here after they were ”captured”, and what she would do if something went wrong and someone ran away or the county magistrate let them go.

Thus, Xiaowan carefully thought through the details of this matter in her mind and made her wish in one breath. For example, these people were still unconscious, so when this matter was resolved, they would naturally wake up.
