Chapter 352: Don’t Stay in the Rain

The more the boss thought about it, the more scared he became.

If the one fighting with the monkey-faced monster outside was another golem, then it wouldn't be a bad thing. At least if someone was to suffer, it would be everyone's fault, not just me.

If the golem in the iron cage in the cellar really ran out, things would be very troublesome.

Their family had imprisoned the other party in the cellar for a long time, which was considered a big feud. If they waited until the other party finished fighting with the monkey-faced monster, he would inevitably retaliate against them.

Thinking of the weird things his ancestors did, the boss couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart. His ancestors were okay at the beginning and were considered normal. They just farmed, made money, and took exams to pass the imperial examinations. But later on, they became more and more weird. They started killing people, practicing evil methods, collecting all kinds of weird objects, and harmed many people.

Those ancestors were quite capable and did not suffer any retribution in this life. They basically lived out their lives in peace and stability, which can be considered a good end.

However, God is watching what you do. Perhaps he had done too many immoral things and God could no longer bear it. His family gradually died out, and in his generation, he was the only child left, and he was also troubled by infertility.

Now, it has even brought about a fatal disaster.

Moreover, it’s not just a problem with the golem. If the golem runs out, will the person who was tricked into entering by it be able to come out as well?

It seems that the guy is not an ordinary character. If he comes to cause trouble, he won't be able to withstand it!

Under the double crisis, the boss felt a huge pressure, so he came to the ancestral hall, knelt on the futon, wrapped his hands with gauze, and prayed sincerely: "Ancestors, I am the only one left in my Du family, and now I have encountered disasters. I pray for the blessing of my ancestors, and I must get through this difficult time!"

"In the future, I will definitely do more good deeds, more kind things, and accumulate more merits. I will never let that killer on rainy night help me kill people again..."

Just as he was praying devoutly, a familiar voice came from outside: "Boss, long time no see, how are you?"

The boss shuddered and turned his head to look, only to see Su Ming, wearing a green raincoat, standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall and walking towards him.

He forced himself to remain calm, with a surprised smile on his face: "You, you came out? That's great!"

"Just now, after you entered the stone door, I don't know what happened, the stone door closed by itself. I was so anxious at the time that I put a finger in to try to open it again, but it was no use." His face showed a bit of annoyance and shame, and he sighed, "Alas... It's all my fault. I didn't understand this stone door left by my ancestors very well, and I almost killed you. It's all my fault!"

As he spoke, the boss showed his hands, which were wrapped in gauze and had his little finger missing, as a self-torture tactic.

At this point, all he could do was play the victim and tell a half-truth to see if he could get away with it.

Su Ming smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, boss. I came here to get my umbrella. It should be with you, right?"

Seeing that the other party did not immediately start to blame him, the boss breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "Yes, it's right here. I'll get it for you right away."

Su Ming followed his boss from the ancestral hall to the two-story building.

The boss handed the green umbrella to Su Ming. Seeing that the other party really believed his words, he gradually relaxed.

He began to worry about the golem instead: "Is that monkey-faced guy a professional exorcist? Can he get rid of the golem?"

Su Ming: "To me, that golem is a professional monkey chaser. I hope he can help me get rid of the monkey-faced merchant."

The boss was speechless. He thought that the monkey-faced monster and the man in front of him were in the same group. Now it seems that this is not the case. Not only are they not in the same group, but they are enemies.

He hoped that the monkey-faced monster was stronger and could get rid of the golem. This would be the best outcome for him.

Knock knock knock—there was a knock on the door.

An old voice came from outside the gate: "Is the master home? I am a herbalist coming down from the mountain. It is raining heavily now, so it is inconvenient to travel. I wonder if you can let me stay here for one night?"

The boss muttered, "What bad luck! All these evil spirits have come to our door."

Su Ming: "I'll go open the door and invite the person in."

The boss' eyes widened with horror, "No! No! Don't keep anyone here on rainy nights. This is the rule of the town. If we break the rule, we will all be in trouble!"

Su Ming smiled, with a bit of joking on his face: "What a broken rule! Others have worked hard on their journey, and it's raining heavily, so what's wrong with staying here for a night? You are a big boss, and there are so many empty rooms in your house, why not do a good deed? If you are rich and unkind, you will be punished."

The boss thought quickly: "I can give him some money and let him stay in a hotel. It's absolutely impossible to let him live here."

Su Ming looked at the boss and said in a calm voice: "If I say yes, then yes, what do you think?"

Then, without giving him a chance to speak, she opened her umbrella, walked out of the house and headed towards the courtyard gate.

Seeing this, the boss's expression changed. He realized that what he said did not completely gain the trust of this person, otherwise, the other party would not do such a thing.

At this time, a bodyguard ran over in a panic and said to the boss: "He, he, he wants to let that person in, what should we do?"

The boss frowned: "What should we do? What do you think we should do?"

The bodyguard showed a bit of ruthlessness on his face and made a pistol gesture: "I would just kill him directly."

The boss was in a state of headache: "If it were that simple, everything would be fine!"

He didn't think that a musket could deal with this mysterious man. On the contrary, it might completely anger him and further intensify the conflict.

Seeing this, the bodyguard could only worry: "What should we do? Should we really let him let the people outside in and let them stay overnight?"

The boss had a headache, but finally made a decision: "The town has been in chaos lately, let's hide in the ancestral hall first and avoid the limelight."

The ancestral hall contains swords and guns, as well as various items for warding off evil spirits obtained by the ancestors. It is effective against both humans and ghosts.

This is the method he has thought of, and it is the safest one at the moment.

Seeing that Su Ming had let the person in, it was a thin old man wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a medicine basket. At this moment, he was thanking him profusely: "Young man, thank you so much for letting an old man like me come in to avoid the rain. I am really causing you trouble..."

As he spoke, he also looked around the environment and exclaimed: "It's great! This yard is really well built!"

Su Ming: "Come on, I'll take you in. There's not much else here, just a lot of rooms. You can choose which one is suitable and stay in it."

The herbalist was terrified and waved his hands quickly: "Ah! As long as I have a place to stay, I am very satisfied. I will leave when the rain stops. I dare not be picky, I dare not be picky! It would be bad if I dirty this good place."

Su Ming had brought the herbalists to the boss and said, "It's okay. It's dirty. A house is for living. Isn't that right, boss?"
