Chapter 45: Ghostly Idea

In the middle of the night, Chen Afu was dreaming when she was awakened by Jin Yanzi scratching at her with the tip of her wing. The bright moonlight shone through the little window, making Jin Yanzi's tiny, green, pea-sized eyes glow mischievously.

In surprise and joy Chen Afu exclaimed, "You're back? And where is Qi Qi?"

Jin Yanzi chirped softly, "Qi Qi is already back in the room. I came to give Mommy Fu a big gift."

Afu was taken aback, "What big gift are you giving me?"

Jin Yanzi chirped, "While I was robbing that nasty man's house who had been visited by the gold thief, naturally, I had to seize the gold. This is an unexpected windfall, and I wanted to honor my mommy with it."

As she finished speaking, she flicked her wing, and out tumbled two large gold ingots. Before Chen Afu could even speak, Jin Yanzi flew off to rest in the New Courtyard.
