The setting sun that had been washed by the autumn rain seemed to be covered by a golden veil.

In the distant sky above the bamboo forest, the birds suddenly flew up, leaving a trail under the dazzling sunset.

Shen Yao stared at the earth temple that had been burned to ashes, his eyes dark.

A moment later, someone supported a black figure and appeared in front of him.

"You saved me. I'm grateful."

"If not for my wife and mother's quick-wittedness today, I'm afraid they would have already died." Shen Yao's tone was very light, but he could not hide the anger in it.

The man could not deny it.

After all, he and his guards had been hiding nearby, so he had seen the previous scene. However, he was seriously injured now. If he really rushed out, they would probably die together.

Fortunately, those two women were exceptionally quick-witted.

"This jade pendant is my thank-you gift to you." The man was silent for a long time. Finally, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to him. His tone was sincere.

Shen Yao stared at the jade pendant, unmoved.

The guard who was supporting the man was instantly displeased. "I hope you don't fail to appreciate our kindness. Do you know that our master is..."

"Watch your words!" The man in black scolded sharply with a tense face.

The guard hurriedly lowered his head and apologized.

"I don't want this jade pendant." Shen Yao pursed his lips and said softly, "I hope you can promise not to let the villagers of Shanghe Village be harmed."

The injured man's eyes flashed when he heard this.

"... Okay."

With his promise, Shen Yao nodded slightly. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped.

"Hm?" Shen Yao frowned in confusion.

"Brother, can you keep your saving me a secret?"

Shen Yao lowered his eyes to hide the light in them. In the end, he said slowly, "The temple has been in disrepair for a long time. In addition, a rat overturned the candlestick, causing this fire..."

"Thank you." The man in black naturally understood what he meant and said gratefully.

The next morning.

Ji Zhao went to the central room of the Shen family early in the morning. She faced the statue of the local god and prayed with an incense stick.

"Earth God, I've already asked my father-in-law for help. He'll be looking for a craftsman in the next two days. At that time, I'll definitely renovate the entire Earth Temple," Ji Zhao said obediently with a smile.

"Ah Tao?" At that moment, Zhao Lanhua, who had just finished a set of Five Animal Play in the courtyard, called out to the central room, "Are you ready?"

"Mother, I'm almost done!" Ji Zhao tidied up the fruits and snacks in front of the Earth God before leaving the house in satisfaction.

"Mother, when you come back, don't forget to bring me a bag of osmanthus pastries!" Second Sister-in-law Shen leaned against the door frame with a big belly and said eagerly.

"Don't worry, I'll remember everything!" Zhao Lanhua hurriedly instructed, "Second daughter-in-law, if you need any help, remember to call your Aunt Guihua. Mother has already greeted her!"
