Chapter Eighty-Eight: Something Happened

At the foot of Araki-an Mountain, a small courtyard by the stream of Maple Leaf Village.

"Brother Darkwing, the mung bean soup is ready, come and drink it."

"Okay"

Dark Wing put down the hoe in his hand, clapped his hands and took the mung bean soup handed over by Ling'er: "Well, it's fragrant, it's really fragrant." ”

Darkwing gave Ling'er a thumbs up.

At this time, a Buddha horn sounded outside the courtyard:

"Amitabha!"

"Eh, Aunt An, come in, come in, I just stewed mung bean soup, you can drink a bowl too."

Ling'er beckoned to the nun outside the door, the aunt who had gone down the mountain to find a doctor. Then he went into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of mung bean soup and handed it to Aunt Nuan:

"Aunt An, aren't you only on the fifteenth day of the new year to go down the mountain? How did you get down the mountain today? ”

Aunt Nunnery recited the sound of the Buddha, took Ling'er's porcelain bowl, and said, "There is an urgent matter in the nunnery, so I can't wait to go down the mountain." ”

"What's the urgency, can we help?"

Aunt Nunnery glanced quickly into the courtyard, bowed her head and said, "There is a noble man in the nunnery who suddenly has a high fever, so the host sent me down the mountain to the clinic in the village and invited the doctor up the mountain." ”

Ling'er said: "Then this matter can't be delayed." ”

Ling'er turned her hand and handed the cabbage she was carrying to Darkwing, who had just finished drinking the sugar water. There is a rice cooker in the cabbage, as well as some dishes and chopsticks:

"Brother Dark Wing, you give the mung bean soup to Brother Mo and they will send it over, and I will accompany Aunt Nunnery to the clinic."

"Great!"

Darkwing wiped his mouth and walked out with the basket.

"Wait"

Aunt An quickly put the mung bean soup in her hand on the table of the Eight Immortals on the side, stepped forward to stop Dark Wing, turned her head and said to Ling'er:

"Ling'er, who did you ask this donor to give the sugar water to just now?"

Ling'er blinked: "Brother Mo, Brother Ji, they." What's wrong? ”

"Amitabha"

Aunt An folded her hands and read a sentence, and then quickly explained: "It's really a Buddha who is destined to be born." ”

.......

......

Ten minutes later, Ji Yun and Lin Zhimo were called back by Dark Wing, and after listening to Aunt An's explanation, Lin Zhimo stood up excitedly:

"How so? Didn't my mother say that my sister went to France for further study? How can it be in your nunnery and get seriously ill? ”

Aunt Nunnery recited a sentence of Buddha and said: "Donor, what the poor nun said is true, now the Lin donor is in our nunnery, if you don't believe it, you can directly go up to the poor nun and take a look." ”

Aunt Nunnery got up, nodded slightly to everyone, and said, "Master Lin Shizhu is very sick, I have to find a doctor for her quickly, and the poor nun will retire first." ”

"Wait"

When Aunt An, who turned around, heard this, a smile flashed on the corner of her mouth.

Ji Yun stopped Aunt Nunnery and said, "Dark Wing, bring your medical kit with you, and accompany Zhi Mo to go up the mountain to take a look at the nunnery." ”

Zhi Mo was slightly surprised: "Seventh brother, aren't you going with us?" ”

Every time my sister has an accident, Seventh Brother is three points more nervous than others, this time my sister is so sick, why is Seventh Brother indifferent?

Ji Yun turned around and looked at the room where the giant cocoon was placed in the main room, and his eyes flashed: "Dark Wing knows medical skills, just let him go." ”

......

......

Araki-an.

A nun hurriedly pushed open the gate of the nunnery, and staggered towards the Chaoyang Palace: "Oh no, no, host, something is wrong!" ”

Knocking on the futon, the host of the wooden fish stood up with a calm face, and did not speak, but went directly out of the main hall, turned around and entered the small door, and when he arrived in the backyard, Fang said:

"There is a loud noise in the Chaoyang Palace, bruises, and you will go to the supervisor to receive the punishment of ten lashes in a while."

The nun who was called bruised had a bitter face and replied in a low voice, "Yes"

"Tell me, something happened that made you forget even your respect for the Bodhisattva."

Qingzi's face turned pale, and he said with a trembling mouth: "Presiding, Antang....... Dead! ”

The presiding officer turned the Buddha beads in his hand for a moment, not angry and arrogant:

"What's going on?!"

......

......

Half an hour later, Qingzi walked out of the small gate leading to the descent of the mountain from Araki-an, and replied to the host who was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard:

"Presiding, the body has been brought back, just outside."

The host quickly turned the Buddhist beads in his hand and said, "Carry it in." ”

Two strong nuns came in carrying a wooden plank, on which lay a corpse covered with a white cloth, and the presiding officer gave the bruise a look.

Qingzi uncovered the white cloth of the corpse, and what caught his eye was the corpse that was covered in blood, and looking at his facial features, the deceased was Liu Wumei.

The host squatted down and carefully examined the corpse, and then said, "Isn't Liu Wumei responsible for carrying water today?" How could you fall into the back mountain for no reason? ”

Qingzi said: "We don't know the specific reason, it happened to be my turn to cook today, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the fifth sister come back with water." ”

So I went to the creek where I usually carried water, and found that there were two buckets on the edge of the cliff where the stream passed, and I looked down at the cliff and ...... The fifth sister was found to have fallen under the cliff. ”

Qingzi said cautiously: "Maybe, it may be that the fifth sister accidentally fell to the cliff." ”

The host glanced at a new scratch on the fifth sister's neck, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Gather the people of the whole nunnery." Meet in the backyard. ”

Araki-an is a well-disciplined nunnery, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the backyard is lined up according to seniority.

"Today, those who have been out of the nunnery must take three steps forward, and those who have not been out of the nunnery must find someone who can testify for themselves."

After some tossing, only Cyanzi, Shizuko and Anzi came out of the nunnery.

According to the calculation of the time when Qingzi went out, the possibility of her committing the crime was ruled out, because when she found the fifth sister, the body was already cold.

The host looked at Shizuko and Anko, who looked at each other with calm eyes:

"Tell me what you two did this morning?"

Shizuko, as usual, said plainly:

"In the morning, Anzi and I finished our morning class, and when we went out at seven o'clock, we went to the bamboo forest in the backyard to dig a basket of bamboo shoots, and returned to the nunnery at seven forty, and then we processed the bamboo shoots in the backyard and never went out again."

The host looked at the bruises.

Qingzi had been staying in the backyard, and he nodded, "Shizuko and the two have indeed not gone out since they came back." The fifth sister didn't go out to fetch water until after eight o'clock, so ......"

So the suspicion of Shizuko and the two was ruled out.

Qingzi breathed a sigh of relief: "Host, it seems that Liu Wumei was careless and fell off the cliff." ”

The host did not speak, but closed his eyes and turned the beads.

The courtyard was quiet for a long time, and suddenly Shizuko on the side spoke: "Presiding, the people from our nunnery haven't arrived yet." ”

Qingzi blinked: "It's all here?" Oh, by the way, and Aunt Nuan, but she went straight down the mountain after the morning class, and she didn't have any suspicion. ”

Shizuko didn't speak, just glanced behind her quickly.

Behind him is the room where Aunt An and Ye Manwen lived.

The host stood up suddenly, looked at Liu Wumei's body on the wooden board, and said lightly: "Sort out the remains of the fifth sister, carry them to the Chaoyang Palace, and do a ritual tonight." ”
