The local people were tough, and they were not polite to the robbers. After tying them up, they were beaten up.
In order to rescue his daughter and deal with the aftermath, the middle-aged squire brought a group of local guards, maids, and a housekeeper. Without waiting for his order, the maids went to take care of the young lady. The housekeeper ran to the third brother, squatted down, and felt his breath. He was dead.
"Master, that one is dead. What should we do with these two thieves? Should we send them to the government or … "The housekeeper came to ask the middle-aged squire for instructions.
The middle-aged squire waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Forget it. Don't alarm the government. This is related to my daughter's reputation. We can deal with it privately."
"Yes." The housekeeper understood and left to deal with the matter according to the master's instructions.
The government in Foshan had always been weak. The squire was the main force to maintain law and order. What awaited the two thieves would be private torture, and finally, they would be quietly killed and buried.
"Dad!" The young woman, wearing the clothes brought by the maids, ran to the middle-aged squire, pointed at Old Time Tea and Famous, and said, "This cat and dog saved me. If it weren't for them, I … I'm afraid I would …"
Before she finished speaking, she burst into tears. The fear and grievances of the whole night had all turned into tears.
The middle-aged squire nodded slightly. He had a lot to say to his daughter, but it was not the right time and place. "I know. Go back with the servants. I'll take care of this."
The young woman was taken to a soft couch by the maids, and the servants carried her out of the mountain. She looked back frequently, reluctantly waving goodbye to Old Time Tea and Famous.
Old Time Tea and Famous had retreated far away. Seeing that the young woman was safe, they turned to leave.
At this time, the middle-aged squire cleared his throat, cupped his fists, and said loudly, "I'm Wu Mancheng. May I ask who taught this cat and dog? My benefactor saved my daughter, Wu Ning, and protected her reputation. I'm very grateful. Can you show yourself so that I can show my gratitude? "
He had witnessed the scene of Old Time Tea and Famous risking their lives to save his daughter. He thought that this cat and dog might have been trained by a hidden master. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be so understanding.
Even the cats and dogs trained by him were so amazing. Wasn't this reclusive master an immortal on earth?
Wu Mancheng asked several times, but no one answered.
After searching for a while, the soldiers of the Earth Protection Regiment confirmed that no fish had escaped the net and asked Wu Mancheng if they should return to the city.
Wu Mancheng pondered for a moment. Since his benefactor didn't want to show up, he wouldn't force him. Just as he was about to give the order to leave, he saw something flash in the rising sun. He asked the others to wait for a moment and walked towards Old Time Tea and Famous.
When he got closer, he was worried that the hidden master was watching from the side, so he didn't dare to neglect him. He first apologized to Old Time Tea and Famous, then bent down and stared at the dog tag on Famous's neck.
"Strange Pet Fate …"
He glanced at the reading order from right to left and found that there were two words that seemed to be right but were not. He did not know the meaning of the string of Arabic numerals below.
"Could this be the name of our benefactor?"
Famous didn't know how to answer, because there was no such thing as a benefactor.
Wu Mancheng thought for a long time and decided to go back for the time being. He had to comfort his daughter who was still in shock, get a confession from the two thieves, and warn his men not to talk nonsense.
Before entering the mountain to search, he vowed not to return to the city until he found his daughter, so he brought a lot of food and water with him. At this time, he ordered people to leave the food and water here, asked a few more times, and confirmed that the hidden master didn't plan to show up. Regretfully, he led his men back.
Old Time Tea and Famous were tired, thirsty, and hungry. After these people left, they picked up the roast chicken, smoked fish, beef, and other meat in the food.
After eating, they were very sleepy, so they found a place to hide from the wind and fell into a deep sleep …
They slept for half a day. When they were woken up by the abnormal noise, the sun was already in the west.
"Old Time Tea, wake up! Someone is coming! " When Famous slept, its ear was close to the ground, so sound traveled faster underground than in the air. It was the first to notice that a group of people was coming from outside the mountain.
Old Time Tea was sleeping in the tree. When it was woken up by Famous, it also saw the group of people. It jumped up to the highest point of the tree and observed the people's every move.
These people were led by the housekeeper in the morning. From their clothes, they seemed to be craftsmen. They carried wood, bricks, nails, and tung oil. The majestic team came to the area where they saved Wu Ning.
The housekeeper saw that a lot of the food left in the morning had been eaten, and it was all meat and smoked fish. He thought that the master had guessed correctly. He ordered the servants to clean up the leftover food and threw it away, and respectfully left new food.
The craftsmen had already begun to work. They were all skilled workers hired by the owner with a high salary, including masons, carpenters, oilmen, stonemasons, and so on. They worked hard to transport the building materials into the mountain, which was difficult for carriages and horses to travel through. They performed their duties, checking the mountain terrain, identifying the direction, and building the house according to the owner's requirements.
For a few days, these craftsmen stayed in the mountain. Soon, a model house began to take shape. It was located in the north, facing south, and looked particularly grand in the wilderness.
Old Time Tea and Famous looked at their every move in confusion. They didn't know what they were planning to do by building a house here. It wasn't right to say that someone wanted to live here, because the house didn't have a yard, so it couldn't defend against thieves and beasts. Also, this wilderness was not a place for people to live.
The housekeeper brought fresh food every day. Even if he didn't come himself, he would send someone else to do it. The simple food was for the craftsmen, and the fish and meat were for Old Time Tea and Famous.
Old Time Tea and Famous lived a very comfortable life. They ate their fill every day, lying in the distance and watching the craftsmen work. They guessed what these people were building a house for.
Wu Mancheng and his daughter Wu Ning didn't appear again. Such a big thing had happened. Whether it was officially or privately, there must be a lot of problems to deal with. Besides, Old Time Tea and Famous didn't save people because they wanted them to thank them, so they didn't care.
After a few days, the inside and outside of the house were completed, and the housekeeper led the craftsmen away. Before leaving, the housekeeper bowed to Old Time Tea and Famous from afar.
Old Time Tea and Famous were already tortured by curiosity. As soon as those people left, they rushed over, wanting to find out what was going on.
When they got close to the house, they looked up and saw a brand new black plaque with gold characters hanging under the eaves. On it were a few bold and powerful words: "Temple for the Righteous Cat and Chivalrous Dog!"
