Chapter 22: The Raid

Seeing that Li Qiuling was about to pounce on her, Lu Yalan accepted it when she saw it, and her smiling appearance was in stark contrast to Li Qiuling's impatience: "Yo, you really don't know wow! Then you are really pitiful, the news I received is still from the Zhao family, you often go to the Zhao family, and your maid didn't inquire?"

Li Qiuling's maid couldn't help but shrink one after another when she heard this, and happened to be seen by Li Qiuling, who turned around, and she still didn't understand something, so she slapped her hand and greeted her.

Lu Yalan took advantage of Li Qiuling's lack of time to take care of herself, and hurriedly pulled Hongxing to trot all the way, hearing the crisp slap behind her and the maid's cry of pain, she smiled slightly.

The events of the day of the dispute, she thought about it countless times later, and she remembered clearly what actions and demeanors everyone present, so naturally she would not forget the maid who plucked Li Qiuling's ruthlessness.

I can't clean you up, so let your master clean you up, since you dare to be embarrassed, you must be ready to be retaliated against!

Hongxing was stunned by her own young lady, and before she could react, she was pulled forward in a daze. After a while, she woke up like a dream, and dragged the young lady with her backhand to run ahead.

The two of them kept running until the front hall did not stop, and after going out of here, they went forward to the mountain gate, where Li San and his family were waiting.

Lu Yalan held her heart that was beating violently because of running, and gasped, Hongxing was better than her, only her hair was a little messy in running, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Pilgrims in the front hall came and went, and occasionally someone looked at the two smirking girls curiously, Lu Yalan didn't take it to heart, she smiled to herself, and the two seemed to have a small world by themselves.

Not far away, there is a Sanskrit sound floating, there is the smell of incense and candles in the air, the Buddha of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is kind and kind, wearing a golden gauze and smiling at the world.

Everything was peaceful and peaceful, and Lu Yalan's mood also brightened.

"Bang-"

The dull sound seemed to come from the mountain gate, and it was much smaller when it arrived here, but in the quiet and solemn place, the sound expanded countless times, scraping people's eardrums painfully.

The people in the front hall were all quiet, and someone was caught off guard and pinched off the incense that was about to be given to the Buddha, and Lu Yalan was also startled

"Miss?"

Hongxing was a little frightened, and couldn't help but get closer to Lu Yalan, the two of them didn't know what was going on, so they could only rely on each other to give each other a little comfort.

There was silence, and everyone looked out the door. After a while, there was no movement.

Someone whispered, "Maybe something heavy fell to the ground!"

The pilgrims retracted their attention and began to focus on the matter at hand. The main hall was restored to liveliness.

Lu Yalan's heart was slightly lowered, but-

"Bang-bang-bang-"

The dense sound sounded again, and it was getting closer and closer, and then someone finally reacted, and vented his fear hoarsely: "qiang!

The pilgrims were silent for a moment, and then the swarm ran out of the hall.

"Ahh

"Runβ€”"

"Bandits! Bandits are coming!"

The panic spread to more people, and in an instant, everyone in the hall was infected by the panic, and subconsciously followed the people in front of them to rush outside the hall. The crowd scattered, like a flock of sheep chased by a beast, struggling to flee into the distance with fear.

Lu Yalan held Hongxing's hand tightly so as not to be scattered by the crowd, and there was only one thought in her heart that echoed repeatedly: Hongxing, this crow's mouth, is a good spirit but not a bad spirit!

Lu Yalan was involuntarily carried by the crowd and squeezed out of the hall, only to feel that the place where she was holding her hands with Hong Xing weighed a thousand catties, and it seemed that everyone was trying to separate them.

Just when Lu Yalan's palms were sweating and she was about to lose her grip on Hongxing's hand, the pressure suddenly relaxed, and they squeezed out of the door.

Lu Yalan took a deep breath and looked around blankly. She didn't know what was going on, and she didn't know where she was going, so she hesitated for a moment before being dragged in one direction by Hongxing.

She couldn't help but look back.

The entrance to the main hall is still crowded with people. Lu Yalan saw that when a girl wearing a fashionable cheongsam crossed the threshold, she tripped over because the high heels were too high or the skirt was too narrow.

Everyone was desperately trying to escape, and no one noticed that a life just disappeared without a sound.

Lu Yalan didn't dare to look at it anymore, turned around and ran forward.

"Arran!"

When she was dragged by someone, Lu Yalan subconsciously wanted to fight back, and then reacted that it was Mrs. Mu, and she hurriedly stopped.

Mrs. Mu pulled Lu Yalan and Hongxing to the corner, and asked with concern while looking up and down, "How is it, are you injured?"

After such a thrilling scene, at this time, seeing the elders unabashedly concerned about Lu Yalan, Lu Yalan's nose was sour, and her eyes were a little red.

She knew that now was not the time to cry, so she forcibly suppressed her tears and asked in a loud voice: "Aunt Mu, why are you here? Are you okay? What about your family, why aren't they around to protect you?"

Mrs. Mu patted the back of Lu Yalan's hand to soothe her nervousness, "I originally wanted to come over to see you off, but I didn't let them accompany me, who knew that there would be bold bandits going up the mountain." ”

She glanced around at the panicked crowd around her and sighed: "There are chaos at this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to find anyone." Where's your family?"

"I told them to wait for me at the mountain gate, because if the bandits rushed up, they would either flee or be killed. ”

Mrs. Mu's calm attitude affected Lu Yalan, and she asked earnestly, "Aunt Mu, what should we do now?"

Mrs. Mu sometimes seemed a little naΓ―ve, but when something happened, Lu Yalan subconsciously felt that she was very reliable and wanted to rely on this elder.

"The bandits have qiang in their hands, the warrior monks of Qianyun Temple may not be able to resist for long, there is only one mountain gate in and out of here, as long as the bandits stay there, no one can get out, after all, this place is far away from Yancheng, and I don't know when the news will reach Mu Dashuai's ears. ”

Mrs. Mu had already considered the specific situation when the SAO chaos appeared, and now that Lu Yalan asked, she analyzed it in an orderly manner.

"If the bandits kidnap tickets are okay, and our safety is still guaranteed, I'm afraid that these people will burn and loot when they come in, then I'm afraid that the daylily will be cold when the army comes to suppress the bandits. It's not easy!"

This white and chubby rich lady showed wisdom and courage beyond men at this time, and she did not know what kind of experience could create such a woman who enjoyed wealth and could afford ideas.

Lu Yalan's mind flashed, and she forced her brain to follow suit.

She thought about it and analyzed: "The bandits' attack on Qianyun Temple is nothing more than robbing money, in order to get more money, they should not deliberately kill people who can afford the ransom, so the security of the rich should be greater than that of ordinary people." ”

"Moreover, the bandits dare to attack Qianyun Temple, which shows that they are numerous and greedy, and they are not afraid of the encirclement and suppression of Zheng Mansion..... So, it's likely that they'll kill everyone here after reaching their goal. ”

The people in the temple were panicked, men, women, old and young screamed and scurried, some children could not find their parents, some women fell and were trampled on, and the cries and shouts were intertwined into a hell on earth.

And Lu Yalan, the girl who couldn't even say a word of interrogation when she was divorced half a month ago, showed extraordinary calmness at this time, and she could deduce so many things with just simple clues.

In a trance, Mrs. Mu seemed to see the calm and wise woman who was screaming and panicking more than twenty years ago, and the person was also so calm at that time, and finally escaped with everyone.

She sighed secretly, the Lu family is misleading, if it can be cultivated well, how could Yalan be divorced by a scholar who only knows how to talk about it?

Mrs. Mu quickly came back to her senses, looked at Lu Yalan's face and said worriedly: "Now I can only look at the speed of the army coming, and I can't do anything else." Hongxing and I are safe for the time being, but you, you have to find a way to cover your face. ”

Lu Yalan's face is covered by thick bangs all the year round, and few people notice Shuli's face under the bangs, but now she sees that her life is no longer guaranteed, in case this face is seen by the bandits, she will suffer a lot of sins before she dies.

Lu Yalan was silent, no one had praised her appearance, so much so that she had forgotten that at this time, this face was a burden.

She was a little at a loss, her eyes began to drift around unconsciously, and suddenly, the rouge that was thrown on the ground not far away made her gaze stare at her.

"Miss, why are you going?"

Hongxing wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lu Yalan.

In a moment she picked up the rouge and ran back, and even Mrs. Mu was curious, not knowing what was the use of holding this thing.

Lu Yalan waved the rouge in her hand and smiled mysteriously, "We can't pretend to be poor, but we can pretend to be patients." ”

As she spoke, she tried to draw on the back of her hand with rouge, and within a moment, the back of her hand was covered with a dense red rash, which looked red and swollen from a distance, not to mention how terrifying it was.

The red apricot was suddenly.

The third aunt in the Lu family's big house gave birth to a son in her early years, but the child contracted rubella when she was seven or eight years old, and she was not revived in the end.

Because that child is a rare person in the Lu family who is willing to play with Lu Yalan, after he got sick, Lu Yalan and Hong Xing sneaked into the bedroom to visit.

The red bumps all over the face were densely spread all over the body, looking disgusting and terrifying, which scared the two people who were still young at the time and screamed, and the third aunt who rushed to hear the news drove them out.

For a long time after that, as soon as Lu Yalan closed her eyes, she saw the child's appearance covered with red rashes.

Rubella, also known as urticaria, is not contagious, but if it is too dense and terrifying, it will also be prohibitive.

Pretending to be a measles patient can not only hide her face, but also keep people from approaching her. This is the best method that Lu Yalan can come up with at this time.

..........

The qiang voice became weaker and weaker, and finally it was completely inaudible.

Everyone in the temple understood that the bandits had entered the monastery.

"Dangdang Dang"

The great bell that hung in the open space was struck as if it were striking the hearts of all.

Then, the voice of a bandit came: "Master Yuan's mercy is compassionate, and he has interceded for you." Today, we only rob money and do not hurt your life, as long as you come out obediently and hand over your belongings, our boss will keep you safe. ”

"Of course, you can also choose to continue hiding, but once we catch you, don't want to leave Qianyun Temple alive. ”

The bell tower of Qianyun Temple seems to have a special structure, which can transmit the sound far away, and the bandit stands on the bell platform and shouts, no matter how far or near he can hear it clearly.

It's just that people are not stupid, who believes the words of the bandits, maybe there is a glimmer of life when they hide, if they go out, they will really become fish on the sticky board.

The bandits shouted several times, and when they saw that no one came out, they looked at Liu Huzi who was standing aside.

Seeing that he waved his hand, the bandits who followed him rushed out and began to search for people everywhere.

Under the offering table in the front hall, a fat rich man dressed in gold and silver was pulled out.

I don't know if it's because I'm too fat to squeeze out the door, or because my legs can't support my huge body and I can't run fast, the rich man entered the Qianyun Temple before he ran out of the front hall bandits, so he got into the belly of the table and hoped to block it.

At this time, the rich man was pointed at with qiang and howled like a pig: "Don't kill me, I have money, I'll give you all the money, don't kill me!"

Liu Huzi frowned impatiently, and with a wave of his hand, the rich man was taken to the open space in front of the hall, and then there was a "bang-".

Blood splashed everywhere, the rich man's cry stopped abruptly, and the huge body smashed heavily in front of the Buddha hall, splashing countless dust, making a dull sound no less than the previous qiang, and the blood flowed down, soaking the rich man's satin vest and soaking the floor in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

The rich man could not speak, nor did the bandits, and the whole hall was only the whining of the wind blowing through the clearing, and the temple was silent, only the sound of the rich man's blood bleaching in the ears of those who were secretly watching.

It wasn't until Master Yuan's mournful roar sounded that the person who was hiding woke up like a dream.

"Your words don't count. ”

Master Liyuan's robe was stained a rich red with blood, and I don't know if it was his own or someone else's. He stood in the middle of the corpses of the warrior monks who died in battle, and glared straight at Liu Huzi: "You said that as long as we give up resistance, we will not kill the pilgrims in the temple!"

Liu Huzi laughed wantonly: "Hahaha." Monk, you are stupid to chant Buddha and believe the words of the bandits. ”

Seeing Master Yuan's face turned ashen, the bandit leader who shook the whole country changed his words: "I, Liu Huzi, respect heroes and heroes the most, monks, you can take the lead and risk your life to protect irrelevant people, I respect you as a man, and I will naturally keep my promises."

"But if these people don't cooperate, it's no wonder I'm not going to blame!"

Liu Huzi deliberately amplified his voice, and the threat in his words came to his face, and he swept around the seemingly empty temple, signaling the people standing on the bell platform to shout again.
