76 Seventy-six

Yan Mingyu and Green Leaf were dragged into the darkness in a blink of an eye.

Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Molan tacitly glanced at each other, and they were very proud to see that their plan had been completed seamlessly.

At this time, Du's mother ran over from the door and said in a panic: "Big lady, the little monk in the front yard came over with a wooden barrel to put out the fire." ”

"What's the panic? Let's just say that there are many mosquitoes in the mountains, you are afraid. set up the tent, but who knew that he touched the oil lamp. Mrs. Cheng said.

"Yes, yes, yes." Du's mother should be repeated.

After a while, the little monk in the front yard rushed to the fire and extinguished the fire with quick movements.

At the same time, the abbot also arrived, and the abbot repeatedly inquired about Mrs. Cheng's situation.

Cheng Molan said: "Thank you for the abbot's concern, my mother is fine, but she was a little frightened." ”

"Good at fighting, good at fighting." The abbot clasped his hands together and said, "Donor, since the fire has been extinguished, then check whether the personnel of your mansion are harmed, and the temple will also do its best to heal." ”

Mrs. Cheng looked frightened and said, "Mother Du, you check the servants and maids to see if anyone is injured?" Mrs. Cheng deliberately glanced at Du's mother, Du's mother nodded, checked slowly, and felt that she had enough time to rub before asking, "What about Mingyu?" Mingyu, Mingyu! Du's mother shouted a few times.

No one answered in the courtyard, and the maids and servants found out that there was really no Mingyu in the courtyard.

"Green leaves aren't there, either." Someone said.

Saying this, the maids and servants looked around one after another, but they really didn't see Yan Mingyu and Green Leaves, so they couldn't help whispering.

"Did you see Mingyu and the green leaves?"

"Nope."

"Did you see that?"

"No, I put out the fire just now, how can I have time to see them."

"Shouldn't it be playful, play out?"

“……”

"Look around in the yard." At this time, Mrs. Cheng opened her mouth majestically.

A group of maids hurriedly searched for them in the corners of the courtyard.

After a quarter of an hour, nothing was found.

The maid and maid were puzzled, they all entered the courtyard together, why did there be a fire, and Mingyu and Green Leaf were gone?

Mother Du came out of the room of the two and said, "Big lady, Mingyu and Luye have run away." ”

"Ran away?" Cheng Molan asked rhetorically, knowing everything in her heart, she still made a surprised look, and the maids and servants were really surprised.

"Yes." Du's mother said: "The burden in the room is gone. ”

The maids and servants were astonished.

"Did they really run away?"

"Possibly. The two of us were the youngest, and they were playful. You see, along the way, the green leaves are chirping, and they are very excited, and this son will not accept his fate, isn't it normal to run out? Still young and ignorant. ”

"That's right. I took all the baggage away, I must have run away, and I don't want to be a maid anymore. ”

"Maybe I met some official man outside the temple today and followed."

“……”

The more the maids and servants talked, the more outrageous they became, and all of them fell into the ears of Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Molan, and instead of stopping them, they were willing to listen to this remark.

After hearing this, the abbot instructed the little monks behind him: "There are many fierce beasts in Dayin Mountain at night, and they are extremely ferocious. Go and look for the torches overnight, and find the people as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, Abbot." After the little monks answered, they all went back to the courtyard, held torches, and went to the mountains to find people.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Molan didn't stop it, and they couldn't find it anyway.

It was Mrs. Cheng, who folded her hands and saluted sincerely, and said slowly: "There is an abbot of Lao." ”

The abbot replied, "Amitabha, all living beings are equal. ”

"Yes." Mrs. Cheng said.

At the end, the abbot said, "Let's rest first, and after finding the two female donors, come and talk to the donor." ”

"Thank you, Abbot."

After sending the abbot away, the courtyard door was closed, and Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Molan entered the room.

Mother Du said to the maid and servant: "There are many beasts in the mountains, Mingyu Luye is young and ignorant, don't follow the trouble, it is dangerous to go out of this yard." ”

"Mother Du, there are so many beasts in the mountains, will the green leaves of Mingyu have already ......" Someone asked, and he didn't dare to say anything after asking.

"I heard wolves howling before the fire."

"Isn't that Mingyu Green Leaf dead?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Du's mother shouted, but her heart was indescribably comfortable, she could finally get rid of Mingyu's cheap hooves, and when she thought that Yilou was originally going to make a room for the eldest young master, the result was Mingyu's reason, Yilou not only lost her reputation, but also ended up bleak, Du's mother hated Mingyu, and when she thought that Mingyu might have been bitten by a fierce beast in the mountains, a turbidity in her heart automatically dissipated, but it was a pity that the green leaves had to be buried with her. However, even if Green Leaf was not taken away by the man in black, just because she saw someone kidnapping Mingyu, the eldest lady would not let her go, and the left and right blamed Green Leaf for her own bad life.

The maids and servants were immediately silent.

"Let's go to sleep, I have to serve the eldest lady and eldest lady tomorrow, don't stop doing business for the sake of the two little maids." Saying that, Du's mother went to the room where Yan Mingyu and Luye lived, her room was both fire and water, and she couldn't live in it for a long time.

At this time, as soon as Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Molan entered the room, the two discussed.

"Mother, the abbot has sent someone to find Mingyu." Cheng Molan couldn't help but worry.

Mrs. Cheng smiled, sat on the stool, picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip of tea and said, "Right now, maybe it has been thrown into the mountain to poison the snake and beast." Where are they going to find them with torches? If you find it, it might just be a pile of bones. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Molan was slightly relieved, thought about it, and said: "Mother, Mingyu has always been scheming, do you think she will escape from the man in black." ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled: "Escape? How to escape? On weekdays, no one is hard with her in the house, so she can be a little smart. When it comes to big things, things that require strength, she is just a little maid who has no power to restrain the chicken, you have just seen it, any man can cover his mouth and drag her away, how can she escape? ”

Cheng Molan suddenly said in her heart: "Yes, what my mother said is true." ”

Mrs. Cheng sighed: "Finally solved this, and I can have a good rest." We will go back early tomorrow morning and tell your fourth sister the good news. ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to tell her fourth sister, Cheng Molan expected how wonderful Cheng Shulan's expression would be, and began to look forward to tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the abbot waited at the door of the courtyard, and when he saw Mrs. Cheng coming out, he stepped forward and said, "Amitabha." ”

Mrs. Cheng asked, "The abbot has the whereabouts of Mingyu and Green Leaves?" ”

The abbot nodded.

Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Molan, and Du's mother's faces have changed, could it be that Mingyu is not dead?

At this time, the little monk behind the abbot was holding a tray, on which were an ordinary hairpin, two pairs of embroidered shoes, several pieces of torn cloth, two torn baggage, and two or three rouge gouache boxes.

Mrs. Cheng asked puzzledly, "This is?" ”

The abbot said, "Donor, please mourn, the beasts in the mountains are extremely ferocious. The two female benefactors had been in the mountain for a long time, and when the disciples found them in Tianming, one of the mountains was already stained with blood and incomplete bones, which was the evidence recovered from the scene. ”

The abbot's voice fell.

The maids and servants were all silent, they really didn't expect that Mingyu and Green Leaves, who were still alive yesterday, would die so tragically one night.

Mrs. Cheng looked at the hairpins, shoes, fabrics, baggage, and rouge gouache boxes on the tray, first surprised, and then couldn't say the comfort of her body, Mingyu finally died, finally died!

Mrs. Cheng forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said sadly: "Thank you Abbot for your help." ”

"Don't worry, in the future, the old man will set his daily life to be more than the two."

"Thank you." Mrs. Cheng said slowly.

When the maids and servants were still unable to return to their senses, Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Molan had planned to return to the house in advance, and the news also spread back to the Cheng Mansion a moment later.

At this time, Cheng Hualan and Cheng Shulan were playing chess together.

Hearing this, Cheng Shulan hurriedly stood up and said, "Second sister, the eldest lady is coming back." We hurried to get ready to go and greet us. ”

Cheng Hualan also stood up, couldn't help but think, and said that she would come back in the evening, and she would come back early this morning, could it be that Mingyu really slipped away under the nose of the eldest lady, and she immediately responded: "Okay." ”

Then the two of them went back to their yard to clean up and went to the gate of Chengfu.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of Cheng's mansion, they saw that Cheng Wentao was already waiting there, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"Big brother." Cheng Hualan and Cheng Shulan stepped forward to salute.

Cheng Wentao said: "Second sister, fourth sister, you are also here." ”

"Well, Mother is almost there?" Cheng Shulan asked.

Cheng Hualan couldn't help but look out.

"It should be almost there." Cheng Wentao also looked out, he originally went up the mountain early in the morning, yesterday he was in front of Mingyu, he burned his chest in anger and threw the water bag, and returned to the house in a fit of anger, tossing and turning all night, very guilty. Mingyu has always been quiet and sensible, but he lost his temper, which really shouldn't be, so he wanted to go to Dayin Temple early today and apologize to her in person.

At this time, Mrs. Cheng and the carriage appeared in sight, Cheng Wentao, Cheng Hualan, and Cheng Shulan hurriedly stepped forward, and after a while, the carriage stopped at the gate of Cheng's mansion.

"Mother." Cheng Wentao stepped forward and helped Mrs. Cheng out of the carriage.

"Mother." Cheng Hualan and Cheng Shulan saluted.

Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Molan got out of the carriage, and their faces were wrong.

Cheng Wentao, Cheng Hualan, and Cheng Shulan all found out, but it was not good to ask at the door, so they helped Mrs. Cheng to enter the house.

Cheng Hualan and Cheng Shulan looked back, and among the maids and servants, they didn't see Mingyu's figure, not even the green leaves.

Cheng Hualan secretly thought, could it be that Mingyu really escaped safely?

Cheng Shulan couldn't help but panic, what about Mingyu?

Cheng Wentao just thought at first, he could catch a glimpse of Mingyu at a glance, who knew that he looked for it again and again, but he couldn't see Mingyu at all, he turned sideways again, looked back openly, and still didn't see Mingyu, he held back the doubts and uneasiness in his heart, and only then did he ask when he arrived at the eldest lady's room: "Mother, where is Mingyu?" ”

Mrs. Cheng's face was not good-looking, and Cheng Molan bowed her head and was silent.

Cheng Wentao's heart tightened, his face was flustered, and he asked, "Mother, is something wrong with Mingyu?" 166 Reading Network
