"How much are your wines worth? I'll replenish them all for you. Can you let me go first?"
As soon as Teng Zhu finished speaking, the boatman threw his head back and laughed, "Pay me for the drink? Let you go?"
"Idiot! Who cares about your little money! Haven't you noticed that I deliberately made you drink?"
The boatman spoke harshly and stretched out his hand to Teng Zhu, "Be honest with me. If you don't want to suffer, hand over your things quickly!"
Teng Zhu was stunned. He never imagined that the boatman who looked so kind just now would suddenly look like a different person!
She couldn't accept it and looked at the boatman blankly, "Grandpa, do you want money? These are all personal belongings. As long as you ask, I will give them to you. There is no need to tie me up."
"What a stupid girl!" The boatman glared, "I don't care about your little money, what I want is the secret to unlocking the bone hairpin!"
"Stop being so nagging! Hand over the formula quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel!"
Teng Zhu was startled, and then he realized that the bone hairpin that he had been holding on to before was in the boatman's hand.
"That's my grandfather's thing, give it back to me!"
Teng Zhu struggled and tried to snatch away the bone hairpin.
But the rope tied to her body was too tight and there was no way to break free!
"Nonsense, of course I know it belongs to your grandfather," the boatman looked at the bone hairpin in his hand and said proudly, "That old guy Teng Ming would never have imagined that thirty years later, this hairpin would be back in my hand.
!”
"Hmph, what's this called? You can't find anything even if you wear iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all to get there!"
"You...who are you?"
Teng Zhu panicked. Thirty years ago, she was not born yet. What was the identity of the boatman in front of her?!
"Are you afraid? Haha, as long as you hand over the formula for the bone hairpin, I will never hurt you."
The boatman chuckled and said, "Now you are the fish on the chopping board. Let me tell you, I am Teng Ming's senior brother, Teng Tong."
"Little girl, do you think your surname is Teng?"
"Let me tell you, Teng is not our real surname, but the surname we adopted after becoming a master."
"Our master is the high priest who is feared by everyone in Lingnan. His mastery of voodoo skills is unrivaled."
"In the early years, he only had one apprentice by his side, and that was me, Tengtong."
"Later, I followed Master around and picked up an abandoned baby on the road and brought it back to Master."
"Master promised to take in the abandoned baby, raise him up, and name him Teng Ming."
"I am eight years older than Teng Ming. I take care of him like a brother and a father. It can be said that without me, he would have froze to death on the roadside and been eaten by wild dogs."
"But that evil thief in Tengchong is so scheming that he actually made Master look at him differently and took away my position as the leader!"
The more Teng Zhu listened, the more panicked he became. He never thought that he would meet his grandfather's senior brother!
And from Tengtong's tone, it seemed like there was a lot of unpleasantness between him and his grandfather.
Teng Tong felt Teng Zhu's questioning eyes and looked over with sadness, "Thirty years ago, Teng Ming and I received tasks from master respectively, and the winner can take over the position of head."
"As a result, Teng Ming tricked me into making a fool of myself in front of my master. Not only did I lose my qualifications to inherit the position of master, I was also kicked out of the master!"
"Since then, I have exiled myself in the country and have never returned to my old home."
"I didn't expect it. God is wise. It turns out that Teng Ming has been taken away. Hahaha, what a retribution!"
"I feel much better knowing that his life is worse than mine!"
"You little girl, you are wise, tell me the formula of bone hairpin quickly, otherwise, I will be rude to you!"
