Su Xun glanced at the slender and powerful hand that was tightly wrapping his soft hand. Obviously, I also took it just now, but the feeling of this time is different, the place where it touches seems to be warmer, and the thin callus in the palm of the hand also feels obvious, and there is ...... This is also more nervous.

Listening to his own heartbeat, Su Xun nodded with pretended not to care, and followed Xiao Rui forward slowly.

Xiao Rui arrived at the entrance of the dark ladder, but he was not in a hurry to enter, and first took out a bead the size of a pigeon's egg from his waist, which emitted a faint light blue light in the dark, it was originally a night pearl, and it was enough to see the stairs under his feet through this light.

The two of them carefully climbed the ladder step by step, and the secret passage at the bottom of the well was a little cold and damp, and it was inevitable that some insects and ants would be born, but it was also strange that whenever they approached, the insects and ants would quickly run away, as if they had met a nemesis.

Is it because you are afraid of the light of the night pearl?

Su Xun was puzzled, but when she smelled a stench, she couldn't allow her to think of anything else.

The smell is complicated, as if it is mixed with several flavors, and people want to be nauseated when they smell it, and the further down they go, the stronger the smell becomes, and when they finally come to the bottom, Su Xun also knows why it stinks!

I saw that in that dark and damp corner, not to mention the and urine, there were about twenty women sitting there, their clothes were ragged, huddled together, and their hands and feet were not only tied, but their eyes were also covered with cloth, and their mouths were stuffed with strips of cloth, and the only thing they could do was to hear the sound.

At this moment, when they heard the footsteps, they thought that the prostitute monk was coming, and many of them trembled, and their mouths let out a miserable scream of "woo woo".

Seeing this scene, Su Xun felt depressed for a while, and really wanted to turn her head away from looking, but she still held back her nausea, took two steps forward, and hurriedly called: "Lotus Mist, is Lotus Mist there?"

Hearing this crisp voice, the women were obviously stunned, and there was silence in the dark room. After a while, a figure seemed to react and struggled to its feet.

This figure looks familiar, it is Lotus Mist.

Su Xun was overjoyed when he saw that it was Lianwu, and quickly stepped forward and squatted down, helped her remove the strip of cloth that covered her eyes and mouth, and reached out to untie the rope, while worrying: "Lianwu, are you okay?"

Lian Wu was imprisoned here last night, although she was not defiled, but she knew that it was sooner or later, and she had already made up her mind to die, but she didn't expect to see her girl here and now......

She looked at the thin figure in disbelief, although this person was disfigured, but this figure and voice were so familiar, she shook her head lightly with teary eyes, and muttered in her mouth: "Girl, girl......"

Su Xun untied the rope, calmed Lianwu for a while, then helped her get up, and said to Xiao Rui who was standing aside: "Brother Shizi, let's leave here first with Lianwu." ”

But as soon as these words came out, the women who were originally silent made a "whine" sound again, and some even sobbed. Yes, I finally hoped that someone would come, thinking that there was hope, but when I heard that they were going to leave no matter what, how would I want to?

"Girl, what should they do?" Lian Wu couldn't help but speak, she really knew too well what would happen to these people if they stayed.

Hearing this cry, Su Xunzi couldn't bear it, she didn't see the tragic situation of these people, and there was even a little girl who was only seven or eight years old inside, but at present, there were many obscene monks outside, and it was definitely impossible to rescue so many people at once, so she could only go back and report to the official anonymously and let the government save them.

Su Xun pursed his lips and was about to speak, when a shout came from above: "It's not good, how did the secret passage in the well be opened, go and call the uncles!"

I didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly!

Su Xun was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui was not flustered, he handed the night pearl in his hand to Su Xun, and ordered in a deep voice: "Stay here and don't move." Without waiting for Su Xun to react, he walked out quickly.

Looking at the distant back, I don't know if the light of the night pearl is too cold, Su Xun only felt cold and resolute, and there seemed to be a bad aura around him, which made people dare not approach.

Seeing that Xiao Rui went out, Su Xun was not idle, and ordered Lianwu to help those women loosen their ties, she knew Xiao Rui, he would never do anything that he was not sure of, right now, he should have thought of a way to solve those lewd monks.

Thinking so, while I was busy untying the rope, I heard the sound of swords colliding on it, but I was inevitably worried.

I don't know how long I waited, but it seemed to be slowly quieting down.

"Girl, why didn't you move all of a sudden?" asked Lian Wu in a trembling voice.

Su Xun was also very worried in her heart, she only felt that waiting for a moment more would be torment, she thought about it, looked at the group of women who had been untied and were still close together, and asked softly: "Do you know that there are other secret passages here?" Naturally, she didn't have much hope when she asked this.

But as soon as these words fell, a woman hesitated and stretched out her finger to point to the table on the side, and said, "There, I, I saw a monk crawling out of there last time......

The words were a little flickering, Su Xun knew what the woman was hiding, but there were some things that she couldn't delve into, she didn't say much, her eyes lit up, she walked over there quickly, squatted down under the table and tried to knock a few times, the wall cracked, look at its size, just enough for a person to crawl, she looked inside, and got into it without hesitation.

Behind him, Lianwu was not worried that his girl would go out alone, so she gritted her teeth and hurriedly followed.

The secret passage leads to a bedroom, and when Su Xun removed the wooden plank and came out, he smelled a strange fragrance, and there were many whips, ropes, pillars and other things hanging on the bed and walls, and there were also a lot of porcelain bottles on the table......

It's not hard to guess what it's for.

Su Xun frowned, with a burst of disgust in his heart, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands and walked out of the house quickly, but standing outside the house, he felt that the mountain temple was really quiet and weird, as if there was no sound. What made her even more uneasy was that there seemed to be a smell of blood wafting from this mountain temple.

Involuntarily, Su Xun suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and walked forward following the smell of blood. One step, two steps...... The smell became stronger and stronger, and as soon as she stepped into the front yard, she was completely stunned by the scene in front of her, and her body was also cold.

Not to mention the bloody all over the ground, in the courtyard, more than a dozen corpses with monk's robes piled up together, and near the "corpse mountain", there was a long figure standing, and the bloodstained hand holding a fire was Xiao Rui.

As if hearing the voice, he couldn't help but glance back, his blood-red face, his eyes were fierce, and his body was full of blood, and he exuded a fierce momentum, like a bloodthirsty evil rakshasa general.

Su Xun looked at the familiar but unfamiliar face, and the uncontrollable fear erupted in his heart at this moment, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Xiao Rui didn't expect Su Xun to appear at this time, he looked at the pale little face, he was a little flustered, and hurriedly walked forward to Su Xun.

But as soon as he took a step, he saw that the thin man took a few steps back, and even accidentally fell to the ground, and the fear in his eyes could not be hidden, and he looked at himself vigilantly.

Xiao Rui's feet suddenly stopped, he clenched his hands, turned around and threw the torch towards the "corpse mountain", and flew away without looking back.

When Lian Wu was in a hurry to find it, she saw her girl's little face pale, her hands on her knees, sitting there in a daze, looking at the raging fire in the courtyard in a daze.

At the door of the house, Mizuri was standing there anxiously waiting for her girl to come back.

Naturally, the girl went to the mountain temple, except for telling Xiao Gongzi, she didn't dare to tell anyone else, and in the bottom of her heart, Shui Li believed that Xiao Gongzi could bring the girl back, after all, didn't he also save Young Master Su Jueze?

But now that the sun is waning, there is still no one in sight, Shuili is so anxious that tears are about to fall out, and she also wants to go back to the house to ask Mama Ji for help.

was hesitating, when he raised his eyes, he saw the two people and a deer slowly coming in the distance, Shui Li's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately greeted him with joy.

But as soon as she got closer, Shui Li's heart suddenly "chuckled", needless to say, the lotus mist was embarrassed, why even the girl looked a little wrong, her steps were empty, and her little face was miserable.

Shui Li couldn't help but worry: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" But I saw that the thin man shook his head lightly and replied, "It's okay." As he spoke, the whole person led the deer into the house as if he had lost his soul.

Seeing this, Shuili didn't dare to say much, and only gestured to Lianwu with his eyes.

Lian Wu bit her lip, but just shook her head, when she came out before, the girl had already ordered the matter of the mountain temple to be treated as if it had never happened, and it was not allowed to mention it.

Shuili frowned suddenly, but she couldn't let her think too much, so she heard a sudden "pop" in front of her.

When he looked up, he saw that the thin figure had fallen to the ground......

……

Su Xun woke up again and it was late at night.

She opened her eyes in a daze, only to feel a terrible headache, and couldn't help but whisper in her mouth: "Water, water ......" as she spoke, she covered her head with her hands and slowly straightened up.

Shui Li, who was waiting beside her, was yawning, and when she heard the movement, she immediately felt sleepy at all, so she quickly stood up and helped the girl to sit down, and hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over, and said softly: "Girl, drink water." And seeing that the girl took the cup, she still seemed to be a little distracted and drank water, and Shuili felt a little uncomfortable. After carrying the girl back to the house, he immediately went to call the doctor in the house to treat him. And the doctor said that the girl was fine, but she was frightened, and it would be good to take a few medicines and recuperate for a while, but when she saw the girl like this, where could she rest assured?

As for how the girl was frightened, Lianwu refused to say whether she was alive or dead, but she was not stupid, she knew that it must be related to the mountain temple, and it was inseparable from that Xiao Gongzi, otherwise why didn't he come back with him today.

However, Shui Li didn't dare to say these words to others, and she wouldn't say them in front of the girl, after all, what her girl needs most is to recuperate.

At this time, seeing that the girl had finished drinking the water, Shui Li hurriedly took it and said, "Girl, the slave and maid will go to get the medicine later, and let the girl drink it and rest early." As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and said, "Young Master Su Jueze and Miss Baozhu came just now, and they didn't bother when they saw the girl asleep, and Miss Baozhu also asked the slave to tell her that she would sleep in another room from now on, so that the girl could rest alone......"

Su Xun lay down and listened to Shui Li's words, but he didn't answer, at this moment, his mind was blank, and he didn't dare to think about anything, for fear of remembering that bloody scene again, and he was even more afraid of thinking of that person.

I just don't think about him, but my heart is empty.

What the hell is wrong with her? Maybe, she really needs to recuperate......

……

The weather is getting cooler, the golden wind is cool, but it is already autumn.

In the early morning of this day, Shuili came out of the kitchen with a bamboo basket, and walked to the girl's yard without hurrying - this month, she would send medicinal food to the girl at this time of the day, and the girl After this month's recuperation, the whole person's spirit was much better, at least she was no longer depressed, which made people feel distressed.

But speaking of which, a major event happened outside Zhuangzi in this month, that is, the gourd temple became an empty temple overnight, and it was burned with a fire. But after the two came back, they were tight-lipped, and even when Young Master Su Jueze asked, they only said that they didn't know.

And also...... That Xiao Gongzi has also been nowhere to be seen since then.

Naturally, Shui Li always felt that this was very closely related to the girl's fright, so she also specially explained that she was not allowed to mention Xiao Gongzi in front of the girl, for fear that the girl would be sick again.

Thinking about it, he had already arrived in the courtyard, Shui Li stepped forward lightly, walked to the door, and saw that Young Master Su Jueze came at some point, sitting on the edge of the bed, talking with the girl.

This month, Young Master Su Jueze's illness has been greatly cured, but there are too many wounds on his body, and there are some traces left in the end, but fortunately it is not the girl's family, and this scar is nothing, in Lianwu's private words, it adds to the manhood.

Shui Li glanced at the lotus mist standing on the side, and called softly: "Young master, girl." Then he walked in slowly, put the basket on the table, carefully took out a bowl of medicinal chicken soup and handed it over: "Girl, drink the soup." ”

Su Jueze saw it, but he took it and said, "Let me feed it, you guys retreat first." ”

Shuili and Lianwu listened, and hurriedly responded "yes" and walked out, but Lianwu was somewhat reluctant to give up, and was pulled down by Shuili before retracting his thoughts and bowing his head.

Su Xun sat on the bed, she noticed Lianwu's expression, after coming back that day, although she knew Lianwu's thoughts, but she still let Lianwu serve her eldest brother, first, she knew that Lianwu was simple-minded and would not do some pickled things; Don't be like her, there is no chance to get close right now......

"Are you thinking about Xiao Rui?" At this time, I heard the eldest brother say slowly.

"Huh?" Su Xun was stunned for a moment, pretending to be puzzled and responding, blinking his eyes, but he didn't understand. However, this month, she did think of Xiao Rui from time to time, at the beginning, she always dreamed of him killing people, which scared her to wake up from the dream, but the longer the time, the nightmare gradually disappeared, replaced by the scene when the two got along, so warm, so heartwarming.

Xiao Rui...... Actually, he's a good guy. Su Jueze thought about it and said again. In fact, I always knew that my sister's fright a month ago must have been caused by Xiao Rui, and Xiao Rui never appeared again as if he was trying to atone for his sins. It's just that in this month, he believes that his sister should think about some things very clearly, such as: how to face Xiao Rui in the future.

When Su Xun heard this, he was even more silent, is Xiao Rui a good person? He helped rescue many innocent people that day, but he also killed so many people with his own hands, but if you think about it carefully, those people he killed were all heinous people, and they were also to protect her. Just thinking about it, it seems that he is indeed not very scary, so if she were to see him kill people to protect her one day, would she still be so afraid of him?

No, she didn't know......

Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui...... What the hell is she going to do with him?

Su Xun lowered his eyes, but his hand involuntarily touched the small bun on his wrist.

Su Jueze looked at his sister's appearance, and didn't say much, he wouldn't interfere in some things, and for now, he just wanted to be responsible for feeding his sister soup.

"Come, let's drink the soup first, it won't taste good when it's cold. Su Jueze scooped up the soup and handed it over.

was feeding the soup, but Lu Baozhu walked in, and as soon as she came in, when she was called, she went straight to Su Xun's bedside, grabbed her wrist, and put her fingers on the pulse.

Yes, Lu Baozhu was sick because of Su Xun, and she made up her mind to study medicine, in addition to accompanying Su Xun every day in the past month, she went to pester Zhou Chenyu when she was free, and finally she couldn't stand pestering people, and she also saw that she pasted the medical book and returned him, and she was still sincere, so she reluctantly agreed to Lu Baozhu's entry into the door.

Right now, look at her so seriously, she really learns well.

"The pulse is calm and gentle, not floating or sinking, neither strong nor weak, not fast or slow, and the rhythm is even, it should be fine. Lu Baozhu took a pulse, then pretended to stroke his beard, and said with a serious expression.

Su Xun listened, but he deliberately covered his chest, frowned slightly, and said, "But I feel tightness in my chest, Doctor Lu, you still prescribe me side medicine." ”

When Lu Baozhu saw Su Xun's appearance, he knew that she was pretending, so he only said, "Then I have to take a closer look before I can prescribe medicine." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to tickle it.

Su Xun was afraid of itching, so he immediately quickly dodged, and also went back to scratch Lu Baozhu.

Seeing that the two girls were noisy, Su Jueze smiled slightly, stayed for a while, and slowly retreated, letting the two girls say something considerate.

There was a lot of noise for a while, and Lu Baozhu was also afraid that Su Xun's body would be good, so he stopped when he couldn't bear it. She looked at the pretty face glowing with a slight red light, thought for a while, and said, "Yuan Yuan, I heard that Xiang Jiajun Ming'er, who went to pick up the envoy of the peace talks, is going to pass through Zhengcheng, let's go and take a look?"

Su Xun had also heard about this, and after hearing Lu Baozhu say this, Su Xun didn't know if she went to see if the excitement was fake, and it was true to go to the second brother. Originally, she really should have dissuaded her, but Baozhu has been much stronger these days, and she can't let her escape the problem for the rest of her life.

And she, who has been stuffy in the house for a long time, is indeed time to go out and breathe, yes, she nodded and responded: "Well, it's okay." ”

However, speaking of this peace negotiation envoy, Su Xun also had some doubts, according to the calculation of the days, the team should have arrived in Kyoto a long time ago, but then the situation continued all the way, and it was only a month to enter Zhengcheng.

But I don't know if it was really a frequent accident, or if the Western Xia envoy deliberately made things difficult?

And also...... Now that I have been in Zhuangzi for more than two months unconsciously, it is time for my mother to come back, and I hope she has a safe journey and no accidents......

The two talked again, and Lu Baozhu said that he would go back to the house to read, and the doctor would take the exam in a few days, so that Su Xun could rest.

Su Xun didn't leave her, and when Lu Baozhu left, he half lay on the bed, took a picture album and looked at it to relieve boredom, and from time to time took the preserved fruit meat placed aside and chewed it.

But she was obviously not sleepy at first, but somehow she felt that she couldn't open her eyelids after just reading a book, and fell asleep in a daze.

When Xiao Rui jumped in lightly from the window, he saw that the person was half-leaning on the soft pillow, and he was still holding a half-turned book in one hand, but his eyes were closed on the little face, and his breathing was steady, but he was sleeping soundly.

Xiao Rui stepped forward, carefully put away the book, covered the little man tightly with the quilt, and then looked at the sleeping little face, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch it, but he hurriedly retracted his hand, for fear of waking her up, but he couldn't even look at her. After all, after today, he will leave Zhuangzi and leave her, and he may never have the opportunity to get along with her like this in the future, looking at her so quietly.

That's right, this month, in fact, he has not left Zhuangzi, but of course he doesn't dare to appear rashly, he is afraid, he is afraid of scaring his little girl again.

He was too impulsive that day to kill people in her presence, even though those people deserved to die......

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to hurt you again. Xiao Rui muttered in a low voice, and couldn't help but lean over and lightly imprint on the full forehead.
