70 Chapter 70 The Gourd Temple
The next day, Su Xun slept until noon and woke up.
Last night, she and Lu Baozhu both had their own concerns, and even if they closed their eyes after chatting, they couldn't sleep. In the end, it was the water pear who kept vigil and brought a tangled lotus elephant foot smoker, lit the agarwood, smelled the fragrant and comfortable smell, and gradually fell asleep.
It's just that she didn't expect to wake up so late, and Shuili didn't even wake her up, but maybe she saw that she was sleeping too soundly, and she couldn't bear to call her...... I can't wake up at all.
And right now, the house is quiet, she is the only one, Lu Baozhu is in good spirits, I don't know when she got up, it is estimated that she went to the hospital early in the morning to "harass" Zhou Chenyu.
It's really a pair of enemies......
Su Xun sat on the bed, sighed secretly, got out of bed with a pair of jade feet, casually pulled the pink soft silk shoes, and slowly walked towards the vanity mirror. She knew that Shuili was waiting outside, after all, she had to wait for her to get up in the past, so the girl was at ease, but at this time, she was not in a hurry to call Shuili to come in and dress herself.
Su Xun walked to the dressing mirror and looked at himself in the brass mirror by the hazy light through the window paper.
I slept well this night, a delicate face was red in the white, and it looked very good, but at this moment Su Xun's attention was not on her face, she turned her head slightly, her jade white hand touched her earlobe, and a "green plum" fell from her hand, shaking it gently, and looked at it carefully, the more she looked at it, the more happy she became, but it made her want to try it immediately.
Can...... What if this earring is not hers? This question has bothered her all night, and she no longer has the courage to ask Xiao Rui for clarity like last night, just thinking that if Xiao Rui doesn't say it, she won't ask, just treat this earring pendant as a gift to her.
But although I have made up my mind in my heart, I am still upset when I think about it.
Su Xun pursed his pink lips slightly, put the green plum earrings on the table, and involuntarily played with the small buns on his wrist.
At this time, I heard a knock at the door, accompanied by the voice of Shuili: "Girl, are you up?"
Su Xun knew that she had been waiting for Shui Li for a long time, she collected her thoughts, stood up and hurriedly responded: "Shui Li, you come in." โ
Shuili listened, gently pushed open the door with hot water and walked in, her steps were hurried, her expression was as usual, as usual, waiting for Su Xun to clean her face, rinse her mouth, and comb her hair.
And when the buds on Su Xun's head were combed, Shui Li subconsciously glanced out, as if she saw something, and suddenly looked panicked, and said softly: "Girl, can you let the slave go out for a while." โ
Su Xun didn't seem to notice the panic, she took a pair of pink pearl silver hairpins from her makeup, looked at it, and said, "Go, come back immediately." โ
"Yes. Shui Li answered, and hurried out of the house, but she did not go far, but walked towards the little maid standing in the courtyard, cowering.
Shui Li frowned, walked up to the little maid, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you were waiting outside the yard, why did you come here?"
The little girl was only eleven or twelve years old, she was timid, and when she saw Shuili, she seemed to be angry, she hurriedly lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and her whole body trembled slightly, and she said in a voice like a mosquito: "Sister Shuili, I, I didn't mean it, I was in a hurry to ......."
Shui Li hurriedly interrupted: "Let's go, this is not the place to talk, let's talk about it when we go out." As he spoke, he grabbed her arm and took her out.
But after only two or three steps, a crisp voice came from behind him: "Shuili, I'm not very interesting, tell me something." โ
Su Xun stood at the door and glanced at the two figures in shape, in fact, as soon as Shui Li entered the door, she noticed that Shui Li was a little absent-minded today, and always pretended to look out casually, as if she was waiting for someone. Right now, it's this little girl who is waiting for her. This little maid is also familiar, it is a rough maid in the house, it seems to be called Xiao Lu, and I have often seen it at the eldest brother these days.
And Su Xun originally saw that Shuili had a intention to hide it, thinking that it might be a private matter, but he didn't want to interfere, but for some reason, when he saw Xiao Lu, he felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.
"Mizuri, bring Midori in too. Su Xun suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and after speaking, he turned around and went back to the house.
Shuili has been serving the girl for a few years, she knows her temper, if she really wants to understand something, she will definitely ask the end before stopping, and Shuili does not dare to go against the girl's will, only stiffens her body, and leads Xiaolu to the house.
Su Xun saw that the two of them had entered the house, but he was not in a hurry to ask, he took a sip of the warm rose honey water, and then looked at the two, and first said to Shuili: "Shuili, you tell me what happened?"
Shui Li really didn't want to talk about it, so she lowered her head deeply, took a deep breath, and said, "Girl, it's really not a big deal, don't ask." Having said that, there was a slight tremor in his voice.
Su Xun couldn't hear anything, and she was a little anxious, she put the cup down, and pointed to Xiao Lu again: "Okay, since she doesn't say it, then you can make it clear to me, otherwise I will go out of this house separately today." The voice was not loud, but the tone was full of seriousness, which made people listen to it.
Xiao Lu's body has not stopped trembling since she entered the house, and when she heard Su Xun say this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she didn't care about Shui Li's eyes at her, and she knelt down with a soft "poof" sound, bowed her head and said: "Girl, I just talked to Sister Lianwu last night, there is a temple on the mountain not far from here to pray for blessings, who knows that Sister Lianwu went in the middle ......of the night, but there is no one to see at this time."
What the?!
Su Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, what he meant by this...... Lotus Mist is missing?
"Shuili, is this true? Did you send someone to look for it?!" Su Xun stood up abruptly and asked urgently. In the end, Lianwu has been serving by her side for a few years, and she has feelings, and although Su Xun lives in a regular way according to the ancients, Xinzi is not a serious ancient, and Lianwu is not so much a maid in her heart, but a sister who is very good at taking care of people.
Shuili is also worried about Lianwu, but now she is more worried about the girl, she knows that her girl is good to them, but she is afraid that she is too good, but she will have trouble again. She thought about it for a while, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I have already sent someone to find it, the girl doesn't have to worry, maybe Lianwu will come back by herself in a while." โ
โโฆโฆ Sister Shuili, they said that they didn't see anyone along the way......" At this time, Xiaolu muttered, she originally came here to talk to Shuili about it. And as soon as she spoke, she saw Shui Li on the side glaring fiercely. With this fierce look, Xiao Lu couldn't help but shudder, quickly shut up, and swallowed the sentence "I didn't see anyone this time, I'm just afraid that my feet rolled down when I went up the mountain, and the fierce and auspicious ...... was less."
Su Xun is not stupid, where can she not understand the meaning of this, at this moment, she only feels uncomfortable in her heart, in fact, she doesn't understand who Lianwu went to the temple to pray for in the middle of the night? In the past few days, Lianwu has often served her eldest brother incomprehensibly, but she is more serious and careful than her own sister, so why can't she see that Lianwu likes her eldest brother?
But even Lianwu herself knows that this relationship can only be given, not demanded, and she should simply be blind and not say anything. But who would have thought that Lian Wu's sacrifice might even lose his life, and the eldest brother may not know about it now......
Su Xun was silent for a moment, but he seemed to remember something, and still asked without giving up: "Have you also found it in the temple?" paused, and said, "What is the name of the temple?"
Xiao Lu didn't dare to answer without permission, glanced at Shuili, and saw her nodding, so she nodded cautiously and said: "Back to the girl, I went to the temple early in the morning to ask the master, and they all said that they didn't see Sister Lianwu." Well...... And the name of the temple seems to be ...... It seems to be called the gourd temple. โ
And almost as soon as he heard the words "Hulu Temple", Su Xun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: Lianwu was not dead, but he was imprisoned.
Thinking about Lianwu just now, some other memories popped up in my mind for some reason, such as in this year, Zheng Cheng had a case that caused a sensation in the Da Cao Dynasty - the "Adulterous Monk Case".
In the name of praying for good fortune and being kind to charity, the mountain temple attracts many believers to go, and also shelters homeless little beggars to live for a night, but after a long time, there are often civilian young women missing, and those little beggars are no longer seen by anyone on the second day. Needless to say, these people were actually imprisoned, some of them would be sold, and some would be left in the temple for fun. Sadly, at first the people feared the Bodhisattva and did not dare to doubt the temple at all, until the beasts mistakenly captured a noble woman who was famous for coming to worship the Buddha and ask for a son, and those crimes were revealed.
And if she remembers correctly, the name of this mountain temple is called "Hulu Temple".
It's just that Su Xun didn't expect that the filthy place would be so close to him, and the lotus mist was still stuffed with it. But at the moment, Su Xun is not ready to tell others about this matter, nor does she want to report to the official to arrest people, first, she doesn't want this matter to make a big fuss, after all, her mother has not returned from Saibei, what scruples do she have; second, she also has to take into account the reputation of Lianwu, you must know that the chastity of a woman here is more important than anything, this time she was arrested, regardless of whether she has been โกโก or not, anyway, it is not clear with her mouth.
Therefore, the best way at the moment is to go to the mountain temple to rescue the lotus mist before making the next step.
Naturally, she is not stupid, she knows that if she goes alone, she will definitely take herself into it, and the only solution now is to let a person with good martial arts accompany her.
As for who to turn to?
The eldest brother's injury has not healed, Xiao Jingyu is estimated to have left Zhuangzi at the moment, and now he is probably the only one who can help......
Thinking about it, Su Xun bit his lower lip lightly, and instead of explaining, he just ordered: "Shuili, you take the wonton out first." As he spoke, without waiting for a response, he quickly left the house and ran out.
Go...... Find Xiao Rui.
