Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Chapter 157 What she said is what I mean

Lin Jiu and the other two said goodbye hastily and headed straight for Renjia Town.

As soon as we entered the town, it happened to be dinner time. Various restaurants, noodle shops, and roadside pancake stalls were emitting the aroma of food.

Qiu Sheng, who had worked all morning, was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back.

However, looking at the two people in front of him walking hurriedly, he didn't dare to stop to buy a piece of bread.

He took two quick steps to Lin Jiu and asked:

"Master, why are you in such a hurry? It's not too late to talk about it after dinner."

Lin Jiu: "Dogs are aggressive, and bats might be too. Let's hurry on."

Qiu Sheng looked around in confusion, "Master, we're almost out of town, where are you going?"

Jingzhi followed silently. Anyway, Lin Jiu was smart and his steps were firm. It was obvious that he knew where he was going.

After avoiding a few fighting children, Lin Jiu did not slow down his pace. Looking at the people on the street who were not on guard, his heart gradually became heavier.

"Go to the church at the end of town."

Based on the principle of bats' gregarious nature, he expected the two he caught to fly back here.

Qiu Sheng hadn't come along last time, so of course he didn't know about the bat incident. He muttered quietly, "What are you doing in church? Master, have you converted to a foreign religion?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by a chestnut.

Lin Jiu: "Believe your boss! Are you going or not? If not, go back to the charity cemetery. I'll bring Wencai out next time!"

"No!" Qiu Sheng ruffled his hair and curled his lips. "I need to learn more skills. Wencai is enough for him to look after the charity cemetery."

Lin Jiu: "Then stop talking nonsense."

……

Just as the three of them caught a glimpse of the cross on top of the church from afar, they heard a noisy sound coming from the front.

Lin Jiu's eyes narrowed, and he quickly quickened his pace and jogged over.

"Hey, why are you like this?"

"I've given you a lot of time." Ah Wei picked up his baton and pointed at the notice on the wall. "Everyone, move out today."

After saying this, he summoned his men to go around collecting firewood.

Seeing a familiar figure approaching from afar, Awei greeted him with a flattering look on his face.

"Uncle Jiu, how come you have time to come here?"

Last time in prison, he saw Lin Jiu's abilities clearly, and couldn't help but admire him.

Thinking of this, he approached with a big face, "Uncle Jiu, how about you take me as your apprentice?"

If he could also exorcise demons and ghosts, wouldn't his position as captain be secure?

His cousin would also look up to him and might even be willing to marry him.

Lin Jiu gave him a sidelong glance with a forced smile, "Captain Wei, you're joking. How can I, Lin, be worthy enough to be your master?"

Seeing that he was still trying to argue, Lin Jiu changed the subject and pointed to the notice of arson on the wall, "What is this for?"

Awei: "Didn't you say it was burned?"

"When did I say burn it?" Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment, then said, "I said burn the bats, I didn't ask you to burn down someone else's church."

Awei: "My men said they saw bats flying here. It's safer to burn it. It's just a ruin anyway."

At this moment, a young nun jumped out with an angry face. "Hey, there are no bats! And what do you mean by ruins? This is our church. You set it on fire without our consent. I will sue you at the government office."

Ah Wei spread his hands indifferently, "Why don't you report me to your god? Go back to where you came from. We don't believe in your god here."

He put his elbow on Lin Jiu's shoulder and said with an expression that Lin Jiu was his support:

"We all believe in the Faith here!"

"Go away!" Jingyi slapped Awei's elbow away, "Why are you leaning against it? Go lean against the wall!"

"You!" Awei was about to get angry, but when he thought of her skills and the nightmare of the last time he cut Zhui Zhui, his legs trembled and he swallowed the word "crazy woman" into his stomach.

Jingzhi hugged Lin Jiu's arm with a wronged look on her face, "I'm the only one you can lean on."

A blush gradually appeared on Lin Jiu's face.

He coughed lightly and shook his arms to try to break free, but Jingzhi held him tightly.

There was no other way, so he could only take her forward and walk in front of the old nun. "We can tell whether there are bats or not at a glance. Please be flexible. If there are no bats, I don't think Captain Bway will force the fire, right?"

This "hmm" was addressed to Awei.

Ah Wei nodded like a lackey, "Of course, you heard what my master said, get out of the way, my gun has no eyes!"

As he spoke, he pulled out the gun from his waist and loaded it with a click.

The young nuns, who were standing in a row in front of the ruins, were united in their determination. They screamed in fear and hid behind the old nun.

"Mother, what should I do?"

"Yeah, he has a gun, why don't you let them see it."

Just as they were discussing, Awei's act of forcing himself to be his master not only made Lin Jiu and Jingzhi roll their eyes, but also made Qiu so angry that his veins were throbbing.

"Hey, my master said that he only wants me and Wencai as his disciples in this lifetime. Forget it!"

Jingzhi agreed, "Yes, I don't agree either."

Ah Wei snorted, raised his chin, and pointed his nose at Jingzhi and Qiusheng, "What's it got to do with you? I only need Uncle Jiu's approval to become your disciple."

Lin Jiu: "What she said is what I meant."

Ah Wei said with a flattering face: "Hey, Uncle Jiu, don't be like this, I am also very talented..."

He moved forward and tried to fight, but Jingzhi stretched out his arms and surrounded Lin Jiu tightly behind him like an eagle catching chickens.

She made a scissor hand gesture and reached out to Awei, threatening him with a petty look, "It seems you're still not afraid. Come over here again and I'll cut it off for you!"

Lin Jiu covered her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

At this moment, she didn't know what she did, Lin Jiu's face turned red like a monkey's butt, his hands trembled, and he quickly let go of her and strode towards the middle of the nuns who had made way for him.

Qiu Sheng looked at his master's messy steps, and with a curious look on his face, he approached Jingzhi and asked, "What did you do? I think he's about to catch fire."

Jingzhi shrugged, smiling slyly, "I'm not going to tell you!"

Then, he followed Lin Jiu closely and walked into the ruins.

Just then, Shi Cheng ran over from the street.

"Captain Wei! So you're here! I had a hard time finding you. Hurry up and bring a few people with me up the mountain. Uncle Jiu has found a good spot and is waiting for you to come and dig the well!"

"Why--" Before he could finish his words, Awei changed his mind and thought, since he had made great contributions in digging the well, what if Uncle Jiu was willing to accept him as his apprentice?

Anyway, the work is done by his subordinates, so just go!

"Let's go!" He waved his hand at Shi Cheng, then pointed to two soldiers and said, "You two follow Uncle Jiu. If he says he wants to burn it, you better be quick. Don't worry about those nuns. Just light this place on fire!"

Lin Jiu had no time to deal with him. He was always alert to this place and took every step with extreme caution.

The church had fallen into disrepair and was in ruins. Grayish-white bricks were scattered on the ground and cobwebs covered the walls.

I looked around everywhere but didn't find any bats.

There was only one room behind the old nun left to check.

"Drive in and take a look," he said.

The old nun said, "No! This is the priest's retreat room. Ordinary people are not allowed to go in!"

This time, Lin Jiu didn't need to take action, but Awei's two soldiers took over.

They loaded their guns and said, "Get out of the way."

The old nun raised her hands and said, "...You can still take a look, but I don't have the key. You'll have to find a way to open it yourself."

Qiu Sheng immediately picked up a brick from the ground and said, "Well, this is easy. Just make way. I won't blind you."
