Chapter 136: Something Happened
Xu Shi suddenly sat down on the ground, as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted, and muttered in his mouth: "Master, wife, everything that the slave can do, everything depends on the will of heaven!"
The carriage was quiet, and the old lady was sitting in the carriage at this time with her eyes closed and recuperating, with a very tired expression on her face. Next to her, Mama Liu half-squatted on the ground, beating her legs for a while.
After a while, the old lady suddenly said, "You say, will the Xu family do something stupid?"
Mama Liu was stunned for a moment, her hand that was beating her legs paused, and she looked at the old lady's face out of the corner of her eye.
The old lady still had her eyes closed, as if she were recuperating, as if she were talking in a dream.
Mama Liu didn't dare to think like this, and thought about it for a while before replying: "The Xu family is a smart one, and the old slave believes that she will not betray you." ”
"That's fine. ”
The old lady muttered this, but did not speak again.
After leaving the city and walking on the official road for a while, the team turned into a path dedicated to Jinglong Temple, and after passing the trail, they had to climb another mountain road to reach Jinglong Temple, which was located halfway up the mountain.
Qin Yue's carriage walked at the end, accompanied by Qing Ying and June. Mama Wu was left in the house by her. The Jiang family is about to give birth in two months, and experienced grandmothers are indispensable around him.
Qin Yue held his chin with both hands and looked at the scenery outside through the car window.
In fact, there is no scenery to see, all around is barren, even the tree trunks are bare, lining the world is more vast, and the field of vision is also broadened.
Qin Yue faintly saw a small black dot rushing towards him in the distance.
When I got closer, I saw clearly that it was a little Zhishang who was about seven or eight years old, and I saw that his face was covered with blood, and his expression was panicked. His clothes were in tatters, revealing scars on his back.
The little monk rushed into the Qin family's team regardless of it.
The accompanying guards hurriedly stopped him.
The little monk was shocked. The mouth repeated incoherently: "Killed...... Killed...... All dead...... All dead......"
This noise naturally woke up the old lady.
The old lady asked Mama Liu to come down and find out.
Qin Yue also pulled June out of the carriage. At this time, she had a faint sense of foreboding in her heart, only afraid that something had happened to Jinglong Temple.
The little monk shuddered. People are already scared and half-stupid, and they come and go knowing that they repeat those two sentences, and they can't ask anything.
The old lady had no choice but to stop the team and send Qin Yi to ride up the mountain to inquire about the situation.
Qin Yue pulled the little monk aside, asked Qing Ying to carry the medicine box down, carefully checked his wounds, and finally took medicine again, took clean clothes and changed for him, and then slowly asked what was going on.
Maybe it's because of your peers. The little monk looked at Qin Yue's stable eyes, and gradually became less afraid.
"Just now, just now, a group of wicked people came to the temple, and they killed anyone when they saw it, and the old abbots were all killed, and the senior brothers also died...... Wow...... Woo woo......" The little monk covered his face and cried, and continued with a sob: "They also set fire to the temple and burned it...... Master hid me in a rice jar. I, I took advantage of their lack of attention and quietly ran out of the stove...... Woohoo......"
You can imagine what a tragic scene it must have been!
Qin Yue sighed in his heart. The little hand touched the little monk's bare head and comforted: "Don't be afraid, we are from the Qin family." We've got a lot of guards with us, and they'll protect you. You're safe. ”
"But the old abbot and the senior brothers are dead...... "The little monk continued to sob, crying so much that his nose and tears flowed. It's very sad.
At this time, Qin Yi had already returned from Jinglong Temple and ran directly to the old lady's carriage.
The old lady leaned out most of her body and listened carefully to Qin Yi's report.
Jinglong Temple really had an accident, something big happened.
Except for this little monk, there is no living person in the whole temple. The once majestic temple has been burned to the ground, and the last roar of the ruins can be heard from afar.
The old lady stared for a long time before she said, "Qin Yi, you personally go to Shuntian Mansion and ask them to bring someone over quickly!"
"Yes!"
"Qin Hu, you can take a team of men and horses to ambush nearby and listen to the movement!"
"Yes!"
The team then quickly headed home.
Qin Yue was so frightened in his heart that he couldn't do it. Who would have done it?
Knowing that the female relatives of the Qin family would go up the mountain on this day, they chose to destroy the Jinglong Temple and kill all the people in the temple before they arrived. Such a ruthless method is not something that ordinary people can do.
Why did they destroy the Jinglong Temple? and brutally kill so many people? Was it against the Qin family to warn the Qin family? Or was it because of the disaster brought about by Huijue's identity?
The people behind the scenes obviously didn't intend to embarrass the people of the Qin family.
The Qin family returned to the Qin family all the way without danger.
The old lady went to visit Grandpa Guo in the East Cross Courtyard for the first time, and only when she heard the familiar sound of breathing did she put down the boulder in her heart.
Back at Jingyi Courtyard, the old lady called Xu Shi alone and asked her a few questions.
Xu replied in a deep voice, without revealing half of the flaws.
The old lady rewarded her with some fabric, and sent Xu Shi back to the east to guard the courtyard.
Qin Yue privately asked Qin Fen for questioning.
In order to ensure the safety of Grandpa Guo, the old lady specially left him to guard the East Cross Courtyard.
Qin Fen's face was solemn, and he lowered his voice and said to Qin Yue: "Not long after you left, there were two black-clothed people in the East Cross Courtyard. I was about to make a move, when I saw Aunt Xu talking to those two people, as if she didn't mean to do anything to Grandpa Guo, so I didn't startle the snake. ”
Qin Yue was taken aback, "You mean, Aunt Xu knows those people in black?"
Not only did she know her, but she seemed to be very afraid of those men in black, and she was very respectful in her words and deeds. ”
"It's kind of weird. Qin Yue thought in his heart, and muttered in his mouth: "Who is the Xu family? The reason why the man in black didn't attack Grandpa Guo was because he wanted to know something from his mouth?"
Originally, she went to Jinglong Temple this time, but she instigated the old lady to go. She did want to meet Huijue, and wanted to know some truth from him. But the people behind the scenes burned down Jinglong Temple with a fire, and they didn't know if Huijue was dead.
To be honest, Qin Yue didn't have much impression of Huijue, and the only two meetings were not pleasant. But he seemed to be peering at himself in secret, and seemed to know everything about her.
This made Qin Yue very uncomfortable.
At present, with the burning of Jinglong Temple, Huijue has also lost his trace, if he doesn't take the initiative to contact himself, he has nowhere to look for it, and all the mysteries are still mysteries.
Qin Fen pondered for a while, and suddenly said hesitantly: "There are some things that I don't know if I should say or not?"
"You say. ”
It is said that the Xu family was the personal maid of the Duchess of Xiao Guo back then, and later somehow married the old lady to the Qin family. Grandpa Guo was lucky to her because of a drunkenness, and then there was a fifth master. The old lady was angry and drove her to Zhuangzi, and returned to the house not long ago.
