There is a well in the courtyard used as a stove in Biyun Nunnery, and just now Chunxiao followed the dumb girl to fetch water for Aunt Ying's body, which was the water that was carried from that well. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He Linwan walked over to take a look and found that the wellhead of the well was covered with a stone slab. The stone slab covers most of the wellhead, leaving only two gaps one palm wide, the sun is abundant today, the light shines directly into the well, and it is the spring dawn through the gap to see that there is water in the well.

When the dumb girl saw them looking at the well, she came over and gestured at them for a while.

Chunxiao recognized the gesture of the dumb girl, and suddenly her face changed, she jumped back three steps in a row, and said with a white face: "You, you, you said that this well has drowned several people, so the people in the nunnery don't drink the water in this well?"

The mute girl nodded.

Chunxiao hurriedly said to He Linwan, who was still standing next to the well: "Girl, you hurry up and stay away, the grandmothers said that the dead well is full of yin qi, and I am afraid that there will be unclean things!"

He Linwan didn't seem to care much about Chunxiao's words, but she nodded and walked away.

At this moment, a little nun hurried over and shouted, "Found it!" We found a bat snake under the bed in the front room. ”

"Did you really find the snake?" Chunxiao was shocked when she heard this, she glanced at the little nun, walked up to He Linwan and asked in a low voice, "Girl, could it be that Master Yinggu was really poisoned by a poisonous snake?"

He Linwan walked to the front yard: "Take a look." ”

The nuns in the nunnery all gathered in the front yard, and were pointing to something on the ground in a circle and whispering something, and when they saw He Linwan walking out, they immediately made way of a gap so that He Linwan could see clearly what was on it, it was a dead bat snake.

"Greeting, the snake was hiding under the bed in an empty chamber just now. Ru Fang Shitai stood aside and said.

He Linwan glanced at the snake corpse, his eyes swept around the group of nuns, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who found out first?"

"It's our senior sister Huizhen. Several little nuns said in unison.

A nun about thirty years old stood up, holding a burning stick in her hand, glanced at He Linwan, bowed her head and said, "It was found by the poor nun." ”

He Linwan glanced at the stick in her hand and suddenly asked, "Can monks kill?"

Hui Zhen was stunned, and hurriedly said: "It hurt Aunt Ying's donor, I'm afraid that she will continue to harm other people......"

He Linwan seemed to just ask casually, but he didn't care much about her answer, and just said to everyone: "Put this snake away first." ”

The nuns seemed relieved when they heard this, and hurriedly went to find a sack to hold the snake corpse.

He Linwan looked at Mrs. Rufang, who was standing under the eaves of the porch and did not come, "Although Master once said that he would hand over his funeral to Mrs. Shi, but I still have to go back and tell my mother about this matter, my mother and Master have been friends for many years and have a deep relationship, she must come to see Master off in person to feel at ease." ”

For example, Master Fang recited a Buddha name, "This is as it should be, He Shizhu should go down the mountain." ”

He Linwan nodded, looked at the dumb sister again, and said softly: "I will take Chunxiao back first, and come back with my mother tomorrow morning, you will stay here to take care of Aunt Ying's body, I am not at ease with other people." ”

He Linwan's arrangement was reasonable, the dumb girl thought about it and nodded, and gestured to He Linwan: The slave maid sent the young lady down the mountain and came up again.

He Linwan did not object, nodded at Master Rufang and the nuns present, and then left with Chunxiao and the dumb girl.

As soon as Chunxiao stepped out of the door of the nunnery, he asked in a low voice: "Girl, are we really going back like this?" The slave always felt that there was something strange in this nunnery, and Aunt Ying also died unexplained, although they found the bat snake, but ......"

At this time, it was noon, and the sun was the hottest time of the day, even if the mountain wind was slightly chilly, there was some fine sweat on He Linwan's forehead and nose, and she interrupted Chunxiao's words a little impatiently: "Okay, don't be suspicious, Aunt Ying is indeed a symptom after being poisoned by snakes." ”

Chunxiao reluctantly shut up, didn't dare to speak anymore, and followed He Linwan down the mountain.

In Biyun Nunnery, watching the backs of the three masters and servants disappear in front of the nunnery, Senior Sister Huizhen suddenly said, "What were they doing in the backyard just now?"

The little nun who had just gone to the backyard to call He Linwan and the three said, "When I went to call them, I saw them standing by the well. ”

Hui Zhen's brow furrowed suddenly.

Ru Shi Tai glanced at Hui Zhen and sighed: "I don't think they have found anything, let alone ......"

Before Ru Fang could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Hui Zhen's cold voice, and there was a bit of ruthlessness in her voice that was incompatible with her identity, "Put away your unnecessary mercy! After living in the nunnery for a long time, do you really think you are a sister-in-law? If you dare to say more, I will send you to be the companion of Liu Yinggu's traitor!"

When Master Fang heard this, he recited a Buddha name and lowered his eyes. Several young nuns were also frightened, and only dared to look down at their feet.

Hui Zhen snorted coldly and glanced at the two slightly older nuns.

He Linwan walked down the mountain silently, Aunt Ying had just died, and it was normal for her to be in no mood to speak because of her grief. When he walked halfway up the mountain, He Linwan's footsteps suddenly stopped, Chunxiao originally followed closely behind He Linwan, and after He Linwan stopped, she didn't react for a while and almost bumped into it.

"Girl, why did you stop?"

He Linwan didn't speak, she grabbed Chunxiao's arm and led her to jump into the grass beside the mountain road, and at the same time, an iron-headed arrow broke through the wind, grazing Chunxiao's neck and nailed it into the trunk of a wild peach tree beside the road, and half of the arrow shaft sank into the tree.

Chunxiao touched her neck in a daze, and after reacting, she screamed in fright: "Someone is releasing arrows! girl, someone is releasing arrows!"

Before Chunxiao could speak, a few more arrows shot in their direction, He Linwan kicked Chunxiao and rolled on the spot to avoid the dark arrows shot from behind, after all, this is a mountain road that can only accommodate two people in parallel, He Linwan is a little embarrassed.

He Linwan lay on the ground and raised her head slightly, she glanced at Chunxiao, who was kicked aside by her and was temporarily unhindered, and then looked at the dumb girl who found that she was not hiding behind a tree, and the three of them were not injured. In the distance, there was the sound of clothes brushing against the bushes, and their attackers were approaching, and at least three of them were catching up with them, and I don't know how many were hiding in the shadows.

He Linwan sighed, but they still noticed it.
