"Wait a minute, let me lock the door. It was Dong Niang who spoke, and then, I heard the sound of a string of keys.

"What is there to lock, the one inside, has been hungry for five or six days, and has not eaten or drunk, even if she is allowed to go, she can't even get out of this attic now, let alone go downstairs. It was another mother-in-law's voice, listening to the sound, it seemed that she had snatched the key in Dong Niang's hand, and was about to go downstairs with Dong Niang, "Let's go, Dong Niang look, the smell of burning and smoke are floating here, and everyone in the building has gone to put out the fire, and we also hurried over to help put out the fire, but don't burn this garden." ”

After speaking, he said: "The eldest lady is really kind this time, but she is only hungry for the one above...... In the past, for those who were disobedient, it was a matter of whipping them horizontally and vertically. ”

“…… It's not for the sake of arrogance. ”

"Hmph, I think it's reluctant, the two little ladies who came back this time...... Don't really come from everyone...... It's so good-looking......"

The sound was faint until it disappeared.

Even, until the footsteps were gone.

Only the clamor of firefighting came from the east.

The smell of burning has always stimulated the groggy Zheng Sui, who is cold, hungry and thirsty, twice in advance, she tried to make a sound, but found that her lips were so dry that she couldn't make a sound in her throat.

I heard from the mother-in-law outside that she had been locked up for five or six days.

Five or six days, why have there been so many days, and the fifth brother hasn't sent someone to find her?

Perhaps, no one would have thought that she and Yuan Sanniang would be sold to the Red Mansion.

Thinking of this, Zheng Sui reached out and held on to the wall. When I think about it, I just feel weak and body together. His legs trembled, and he became unsteady on his feet, and at last he fell to the ground.

Sure enough, as the woman said, now, she wants to get out of this little attic.

For a while, Zheng Sui's heart was like ashes. Panting for breath, he rested against the wall for a long time until he had recovered his strength.

With the belief that you want to live. Try to stand up again,

It's probably because she wants to live too much, she doesn't want to die so inexplicably, and she doesn't want to die in this filthy place. No matter how bad it is. She can also understand more or less what kind of place this Red Mansion is.

Dong Niang has some words, and she is very right, that lady spent a lot of money to buy them back, and she will never let them die so easily.

The lady has a saying, and it is also very right, begging for death, but for a moment.

All at once. Then exhaustion, three and decline.

The thought of begging for death. She thought about it, but now, she wanted to be alive.

There are many reasons to live, and the first ones that flashed in her mind were the fifth brother, Ayah, and her grandmother and grandfather...... The thought of these people who loved her made her unable to die, and several times made her want to give in.

The desire to survive was too strong, Zheng Sui tried a few more times, and finally stood up again trembling slightly, like an old man with an old dragon clock, leaning on the wall and walking out of the door.

This way, there were only a few steps, but Zheng Sui walked for a long time, and when he arrived at the door, he made a thud and fell to the ground again.

This time, Zheng Sui didn't get up again, slowly stretched out her hand, moved the door, squeaked, the door was not locked, and there was no one guarding the door, the light was extremely dazzling, so she hurriedly looked away, looked back at the house, the dark room, let a beam of strong light shine in from the outside, to illuminate a few points, the empty room, nothing.

Zheng Sui somewhat understood, why every time Dong Niang went in to ask her, only removed a little gap, and after coming in, she immediately closed the door, she thought that Dong Niang was like this, in order to prevent her from escaping, it turned out that she stayed in the dark room all day, and her eyes suddenly couldn't adapt to the bright light outside.

After a while, after getting used to it, Zheng Sui's eyes still didn't dare to open them, and only squinted slightly, looking at the qiē in front of him.

About five steps away from the door, is to set up a quetai, one side of the quetai, there is an exit, there is a long ladder to go down, the front of the quetai, through the sparse railing, the green trees are shady, especially the weeping willows are the most, one by one, the branches are tall, the branches are flourishing, there are pavilions and pavilions between them, but they can't see really.

The balustrade is a wooden pillar, all painted with a layer of green paint, and around the platform, there are hanging bells, the wind blows, and the jingle rings, and lately, she often wakes up in this kind of dinging.

Slowly getting up, holding on to the door frame, the wooden door panel clattered and banged against the wall.

Zheng Sui leaned against the door.

The light was bright, but the clouds in the sky were very thick, and the sun hid in the clouds, appearing and disappearing, and suddenly it was gone, and all at once it was full of light.

Bursts of scorching smell and smoke blew in the wind from the east.

Zheng Sui slowly moved out of the house, looked around, and saw a cloud of fireworks in the east, very thick, and the people were even more oppressive, running in and running, carrying water to put out the fire, going in to rescue people, and even seeing the eldest lady shouting hoarsely outside, the pale head servant in the courtyard, and even the girls were all busy there, it was a two-story building, upstairs, there were still girls crying for help, and even, the male guests rushed out in disheveled clothes.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Sui hurriedly looked away.

This garden is very large, there are more than ten pavilions in the garden, the Chengfeng Garden in the east comes over, there is a big lake, the weeping willows on both sides are shady, the view is magnificent.

In the far west, there is the attic where she is, and further west, there is a wall one foot high, and on the other side of the wall, there is a temple, but the temple is not large, it is a little barren, overgrown with weeds, and the branches are luxuriant, and they are about to cross the wall.

Zheng Sui only moved to the west, holding on to the railing, and soon sat on the ground, through the garden, his eyes kept patrolling the garden to go out of the door, it was impossible to go out from the front door, there were the most people, and he was facing the street, he could only go out, and he would soon be discovered, and he would be caught back, and the back door, she just looked at it, and there were two mothers-in-law in the handle, just from her, to bypass the lake in the middle, to get out, although now in the west, there is no one at all, but to pass through the big lake, it is difficult not to be discovered.

Not to mention, she doesn't have that much strength to walk such a long way.

Zheng Sui closed his eyes and leaned his body completely against the railing. A gust of wind blew, making her shiver with cold, and her hands couldn't help but hug her chest a little. The coat on her body has long been taken off, and even the jacket worn inside has been removed, leaving only a plain middle coat.

I don't know how long it took to be tired, and my whole body was cold.

The smoke seemed to be much less, and he opened his eyes again. The fire on the east side of Chengfeng Courtyard is much smaller.

I don't want to think about it, I'm afraid that it won't be a quarter of an hour. The fire can be extinguished, and the two mothers-in-law will return, and when the time comes, it will be impossible for her to escape.

Escape. The word came to mind.

Zheng Sui was stunned. But suddenly she had the strength to climb the railing and get up, she wanted to go out, she couldn't sit like this anymore.

I looked at the back door in the garden again, and the two sturdy mothers-in-law, even if she had the strength to walk over and avoid the sight of people, she could not defeat the two mothers-in-law. The wound on the forehead has not yet healed completely. Still in a faint pain, Zheng Sui stretched out his hand and touched it, and in a blink of an eye, his eyes finally fell to the tall mulberry tree behind him.

The leaves are luxuriant and the branches are thick.

Maybe give it a try.

I didn't allow her to think too much, and I didn't have time for her to think about it, so she held on to the railing and got up slowly, her teeth biting her chapped lips, her hands trembling uncontrollably, and her heart trembling with it.

More than a foot.

It's so high, if it was on weekdays, she wouldn't dare to jump.

The railing was very low, only up to her knees, holding the big wooden pillars around the platform with both hands, and slowly stepping on the railing with both feet, making a creaking sound, and her feet couldn't stop trembling, only to hold on, her eyes were forced not to look below, this time, she didn't rest again, when both feet stepped on the railing, the wooden pillar, and even shook slightly, her eyes closed, she used all her strength to stand up, jumped hard, and threw herself forward.

There was a thud, accompanied by the sound of leaves, and the whole person fell down.

On the face and hands, the branches scraped the skin, the hot pain, this huge pain, made Zheng Sui sober up a lot, but behind the back made the trunk of the tree, the whole person seemed to be hanging in the air, this cognition, so that Zheng Sui did not dare to open his eyes, the back was extremely uncomfortable, Zheng Sui stretched out his hand, wanted to grab something, but moved slightly, the center of gravity was unstable, the whole person fell down again, Zheng Sui hurriedly opened his eyes, it was too late to grab the trunk in front of him.

There was a thud, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Fortunately, it should have rained in the past few days, and the soil on the ground was very soft, so she supported the ground with her hands again to slow down the momentum, but Rao was so, and her hind buttocks were still violently hit by a huge momentum.

I was tired and in terrible pain everywhere.

In just a few days, the pain in the body is hundreds of times greater than in the past 14 years combined.

It's just that right now, Zheng Sui can't care about this, she only knows that she wants to go out, she can't stay here, there is only a wall, as long as the two mothers-in-law come back and find that the leaves and branches of this tree have fallen on the ground, it will be easy to find her.

This temple, she has not even heard the bell once in the past few days, and it is a deserted temple.

When Zheng Sui got up, he noticed a huge pain in the bare part of his feet, and he reached out to touch it, sweating on his forehead.

Gritting her teeth again, she tried to walk a few steps, limping out, as for the terrain, she had seen it for a long time when she was on the platform before, and she could see it clearly.

Now that it finally came out, she remembered that Yuan Sanniang had told her that she would go out to find Wuhou, and Yuan Sanniang was still inside, and after finding Wuhou, she would have to let someone save Yuan Sanniang.

There was a little more faith in my heart, and I felt like I had a little more strength in my body, and the steps under my feet became faster and faster, and I couldn't take care of any pain.

Outside the gate of the temple, the plaque reads Jeokenji Temple, and the handwriting is slightly blurred.

Seeing these three words, Zheng Sui was shocked, it was indeed a deserted temple, but she didn't expect that they were in Jingkou, and the fourth uncle's family was in Jingkou, but she had never been there.

At this moment, Zheng Sui regretted a little, if she had come to the fourth uncle's house with Shiro before, at least now, she could go directly to the fourth uncle's house.

No wonder Fang just walked out of the temple and was covered with mulberry trees.

Joanji Temple is a famous Buddhist temple in Kyoguchi.

In the past, when you look at the local chronicles of Kyoguchi, there is a record of this famous Buddhist temple.

As for the final desolation of this temple, it is a matter of this dynasty.

It is said that the temple in the former dynasty of Xiao should donate the residence, the temple built, not only the mulberry tree in the temple, especially the mulberry tree in front of the Buddha hall, the tree is the largest, it is said that there are two people hugging the thickness, and the previous dynasty Ming Emperor, this mulberry tree appeared strange, the five large trunks born horizontally, the leaves and mulberries on each trunk, the color is different, the whole tree looks colorful, especially the mulberry fruiting season, the tree is full of colorful fruits, it is very good-looking, so that the temple is famous for this mulberry tree, in the Gaomen family of Jiankang, there are people who have come to see the style, for a long time, so people are proud of the wonder, there are also monks and people who believe in Buddhism, and call this tree a sacred mulberry.

As soon as this name opened, there were more people who came to watch and give money and offerings, and this temple even compared the Jianchu Temple, Jiming Temple and Qixia Temple in Jiankang City, and it was in the limelight for a while.

Joanji Temple, which also became famous.

The sacred mulberry tree is regarded as the blessing of the town temple and attracts many people who believe in Buddhism.

As for the founding of the country by Gaozu of this dynasty, after hearing about this, he was very disgusted, thinking that the Dingyuan Temple was suspected of confusing people's hearts, so he ordered Wang Qin, the servant of the Yellow Gate at that time, to cut down the tree.

It is said that on the day the tree was cut down, the sky was dark and the wind was strong, and after the tree was cut down, red sap flowed out.

The devotees gathered in front of the temple wept and meditated in front of the temple for three days before leaving.

Later, Gaozu ordered that all the monks in the temple should be returned to the laity, and the temple was abolished.

This is the past, Zheng Sui came out of the temple, the door is slightly lightly covered, the door panel is mottled, the old decay is strict, the door is facing the street, sparse and sparse There are a few pedestrians coming and going, but Zheng Sui's messy green silk is full of injuries, especially a middle coat, and he walked out of the temple, which is particularly eye-catching.

Someone turned back.

Zheng Sui pretended not to care, and still limped towards the street.

Generally speaking, there are Wuhou Xunluo in the market.

Just walked two steps, as soon as he looked up, he saw a group of people riding horses from the north, the shadow of the leader was a little familiar, Zheng Sui hurriedly walked a few steps, fixed his eyes, and his heart was ecstatic, as if he saw a little dawn in the dark, and all the worries in his heart were suddenly relieved.

Finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't care about the clearing of the soldiers who opened the way, and went straight forward.

I just wanted to shout, opened my mouth, only made a hoarse sound, couldn't pronounce a word, so I had to wave my hand, but unexpectedly, the soldiers who came to Qingdao stretched out their hands and pushed them brutally, and pushed them down on the side of the road, after Zheng Sui fell to the ground, he struggled twice as if he had exhausted his strength, couldn't get up, and fainted.
