Chapter 86: Disaster

When Xue Ying left, the temple was extremely empty. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

That was not her delusion, although she usually lived separately from the master in the temple, and she rarely intersected, but the decrease in the number of people was too obvious, so she noticed it at once. Strangely, the number of people who ate together at noon increased, and there were several more masters in the kitchen who were in charge of cooking. According to Mingfa, many masters in the temple have already gone to the disaster area to participate in the disaster relief, and the presiding master ordered to further reduce food and clothing, so the temple temporarily closed the other two kitchens and concentrated everyone's food and drink together.

It was also at this time that Xue Ying knew that there were originally three kitchens in the Ganxiao Temple, no wonder after Mingfa came back, Master Mingjue rarely appeared except for coming to inspect from time to time, and it turned out that she also had to manage the other two canteens.

During this time, many ceremonies were held at Ganxiao Temple, praying for blessings and reciting mantras for those killed in the earthquake.

One day, when the ceremony was being held, Xue Ying saw Master Mingtu from afar. She leaned against the trunk of the tree in the shadows, still holding the flute in her hand, but instead of tossing it around as usual, it fell naturally to her side. Xue Ying was about to go over to look for her, but she disappeared in a blink of an eye, making her almost think that she had a delusion.

On the day of leaving, Master Mingyuan "just happened" to go out to buy and sent her all the way back to the vicinity of Moon Lake.

Xue Ying was about to get out of the car, when Master Mingyuan suddenly stopped her: "Mingtu said, let you quickly grow your teeth, she will come to you." ”

Xue Ying was speechless: If you want to find it, you can find it, isn't she just a little ugly without her front teeth now, Master Mingtu, is she so entangled? What kind of brain circuit?

So far, only Aunt He'an and Qiaoya have come to pick her up. Although she returned to Jiuquan Beizhuang, the atmosphere in the temple was still suppressed in her heart, and Xue Ying was a little embarrassed, and she didn't talk much along the way. Qiaoya asked Aunt He'an very worriedly: "Miss, has she been with the nun for a long time, and everyone is stupid?"

Aunt He'an smacked her hard to warn, and then turned to Xue Ying and called softly, "Miss?"

"Huh?" Xue Ying replied a little absent-mindedly.

"The past is gone. ”

Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, and her spirit suddenly sobered up: "What?"

"Xixi is gone, three months ago. Aunt He'an said, "I went to Ganxiao Temple, and I wanted to tell you about it, but Master Mingtu didn't let me say it." ”

"Have you seen Master Mingtu yet?" Xue Ying was depressed, "I have been in the Ganxiao Temple for half a year, and she has never seen me. ”

"Why?" asked Qiaoya curiously.

"Say it's disgusting that I don't have front teeth and am ugly. Xue Ying pouted, "Don't talk about this, where did Xi Xi go?

"Xi Xi went to the southern suburbs, and the child was still left in the other courtyard for Aunt Shunzi to take care of, I originally asked Erlang to follow her, but she drove it back, and now there is only **** around her. ”

"Southern suburbs?" Xue Ying seemed to have heard this word somewhere.

"It's the same place where she bought a hot spring last year, and she went to supervise the construction of a hot spring villa. ”

Xue Ying nodded: She said that the Hot Spring Villa also has a copy of the past, and it is not strange that the former went to supervise the construction, but ......, "****? is the person who bought it from the grass platform team?"

Aunt He'an nodded: "**** was originally a servant of the Liang family, and he left the Liang family with his father in the past, but then he suffered an accident, everyone lost their martial arts, and he also suffered from disability. Later, the two lost contact and never saw each other again. It is estimated that he heard his father talk about such a person when he was a child, so he asked the young lady to try to find him back. ”

Xue Ying understands that Aunt He'an obviously has a lot to hide from her about her father in the past and the things of the Liang family back then. For example, in this incident, it may not be an accident that the former father lost contact with this ****, but it was intentional, so that when one of them was discovered, the whole army would not be wiped out.

The same goes for the list of other people who were handed over to her back then.

But she didn't ask, just nodded to show understanding: "Anyway, let a trustworthy person also come over to help, and then reply with a letter every ten days to report safety." ”

Aunt He'an shook her head: "In the past, we replaced all the people we originally sent. ”

Xue Ying frowned.

"She's hiding almost everything from us, miss, shall we send someone secretly?"

"Do you follow her?" Xue Ying shook her head, "No, I'll write her a letter when I go back, if she insists on doing so, then let her go." ”

Aunt He'an was worried: "But Xixi is still young after all, I'm afraid that if she doesn't think about it, what danger will happen?"

"At the beginning, she was just a dumb girl who was helpless, and she was able to escape for several months under the pursuit of two groups of people, but now she can speak, she has money, and her cronies are here, and nothing will happen. Xue Ying smiled bitterly, "She actually ruthlessly left the child to us as a hostage, it seems that she still can't believe me!"

"Miss doesn't have to be presumptuous, she is willing to leave the child to you, doesn't it just prove that she believes in Miss?"

"I hope so. Xue Ying let out a long sigh.

………………

Although there are natural disasters and man-made disasters outside, the life of Jiuquan Bezhuang is as quiet and peaceful as it is, like a paradise. And although the yield of wild fruits this year has decreased, the wine produced is particularly mellow, and I heard that Zhao Zhuangtou has opened a special cellar cave for storing the new wine made this year.

After returning, Xue Ying asked Qiaoya to pay special attention to the development of the disaster.

The place where the earthquake occurred this time was in the southwest, about ten days away from Anjing City, such a distance is not too far, once the people riot will soon affect Anjing City, so the imperial court also paid special attention to it.

"Originally, the imperial court sent two high-ranking officials to pacify the disaster area, but one of them embezzled relief food and medicine, and the other was so timid that he didn't even dare to leave the house, which made everyone miserable. Fortunately, within a few days, the imperial court sent another person to go, and that person took the imperial sword to behead the corrupt official and drove the timid one back to Anjing City for trial, which made the situation in the disaster area much better. Qiaoya wrung a towel for Xue Ying while reporting the news she had heard during this time.

Xue Ying wiped her face and asked, "What is the name of the official who went later?"

"His name is Cai Qi, he is the third young master of the Zhenguo Mansion, it is said that he has always been mediocre and unfavored, I didn't expect the emperor to be so discerning, he fell in love with him at a glance, and he is really a hero with a discerning eye!"

"That's good. How's the price of food out there?"

"Very bad!" Qiao Ya puffed out her mouth, "San Lang said, almost all the rice is mixed with sediment and sold at the price of high-quality rice, there is no problem with our self-sufficiency in Beizhuang, the people outside are almost hungry, there are people who have appeared in Zhuangzi to beg a while ago, Zhao Zhuangtou is afraid of chaos, and has sent people to set up a guardrail at the entrance of Moon Lake to prevent outsiders from entering the territory of Beizhuang. ”

Although it seems to be very ruthless, but this is a necessary move, after all, Beizhuang is a place to make wine, there must be a lot of food, if it is known by outsiders, come to steal and rob, even if Zhao Zhuangtou can be captured one by one, it is also an extremely troublesome thing.
