Chapter 6 Shelter from the Rain
'Boom' autumn thunder rolls in the clouds.
The Lu family's carriage has not yet been repaired, but the dark clouds are waiting for no one, and the wind is blowing.
Wei's mother met with the two housekeepers and the mother-in-law to discuss, and decided to vacate the carriage to pull the luggage and the rough mother-in-law to let Lu Lu take the first step, they remembered that there was a Taoist temple a few miles ahead that could be avoided for a while.
And the two carriages here were left to guard the housekeeper and the maid.
Wei's mother and Chuncao hugged the landed deer and got into the carriage, urging the coachman to hurry up and whip up, while the autumn rain was still brewing.
Whoa! The rain fell suddenly, like a splash.
Crackling on the window lattice, Lu Lu rubbed his arms and shouted: "It's so cold!" ”
Chuncao took out a single cloak and put it on her and said, "Miss, don't freeze." ”
"An autumn rain and a cold. Miss, fortunately, prepare autumn clothes, otherwise, I am afraid that I will catch a cold when I rush back to the house on this cold day. Mother Wei pulled the jacket on her body and smiled presciently.
Lu Lu felt that the carriage was still rushing desperately, and the rain outside seeped in through the cracks in the window.
It turned out that this carriage was for luggage and for the rough mother-in-law and the girl to sit on, the quality was not very good, and the furnishings were even simpler, so the early autumn rain leaked in little by little.
"Mother Wei, what should I do? Rainwater is leaking in! Chuncao leaned against the window and cried, half of her arms splashed with a lot of rain.
"Bear with me, it's almost there." The situation on Wei's mother's side is not much better.
The coachman outside may also let the autumn rain urge, desperately drive the horse, and he can't tell whether it is sweat or rain on his head, in short, just when he is soaked all over his body and his eyes are about to make the rain paste unable to open, a lightning bolt struck, cutting the rain line and illuminating the line of sight ten meters away.
Qingyun has arrived!
Chuncao took out an oil-paper umbrella, lifted her skirt first, jumped out of the carriage, and put down the stool.
Mother Wei sent Lu Lu out, and also raised an umbrella and hurriedly walked towards the gate of Daoguan Mountain.
The rain came quickly, urgently, and heavily.
Lu Lu stepped on the rain, lowered his head and held the hands of Chuncao, and stepped up the steps of the Taoist temple without squinting.
"Stop!" There was a loud shout from under the steps.
The three of Lu Lu's master and servant raised their eyes at the same time.
In front of the solemn hall gate, two big men with swords stopped in front of them with fierce faces.
Wei's mother wondered: When will the Taoist temple have such a fierce god guarding the door?
However, she quickly laughed and stepped forward to explain: "We are from the Lu family in Yicheng, unfortunately it rained halfway, so we temporarily borrowed Guiguan to avoid it." Please make it easier. ”
"Lord Duan rests here, and the idle people retreat."
Bah? Lu Lu almost burst out.
What kind of bullshit Lord Duan, if he rests, others can't enter? How can this be reasonable, too bullying! is a proper official who bullies the people, but I am afraid that he is an arrogant and domineering corrupt official.
"Why?" Chuncao was also very big and shouted: "He rests on him, why can't we avoid it?" ”
"Spring grass." Mother Wei scolded Chuncao and continued to discuss with Xiaoxiao: "Two of you, it's convenient, the rain is so heavy, our master and servant just ask one side to take shelter from the rain and clean the land, and it will never cause more trouble." ”
Lu Lu glanced at the two guys who were blocking the way, lifted his skirt and stepped on the steps.
'Bang' knives out of the sheath.
Lu Lu bowed his head and ordered: "Chuncao, call for help." ”
Chuncao was stunned for a moment, but she was clever, let go of her throat and shouted: "Kill!" Help me! Someone! Kill! ~”
She was still in the period of voice change, her voice was sharp and sharp, and her voice pierced the tranquility of the Taoist temple.
Daqi is a country, there is a view in the township, there is a way in the town, and the incense is still vigorous.
Qingyun Temple is located next to the avenue outside the city, and there are naturally many pilgrims.
Today's heavy rain, the pilgrims couldn't rush back for a while, so Master Duan's men rushed to the back side of the courtyard, and they heard a frightened scream from the sound of the rain, and they all poked their heads out to take a look.
The two sabber men were stunned.
It's really hard to start, especially in broad daylight. What's more, the other party just wants to avoid the rain, and the reason couldn't be more legitimate.
However, they were ordered by Duan Ye to stay here, and it was impossible to let people in casually.
"Let them in." Suddenly, a clear voice came from inside.
The knife was sheathed, and the big man dodged away: "Go in." ”
Lu Lu rolled his eyes, eating hard and not soft bastards!
The main hall was warm and clean. There was also a strong smell of incense in the air.
Lu Lu raised his eyes slightly, and saw many people sitting in the hall, all of them strong and fierce, and saw them coming in, looking vigilantly.
They consciously walked to the corner to shelter from the wind, and Wei's mother dusted off the raindrops on Lu Lu's clothes and read, "Miss, Fang is too reckless." You must not be so willful in the future. ”
Chuncao said happily: "If not, we would still be outside in the rain." ”
"These people don't know the details, if they are serious, we will be more than lucky." Mother Wei still had palpitations, but she saw the knife out of the sheath with her own eyes.
"The Taoist temple is pure, no matter how cruel a person is, he must be merciful." Lu Lu smiled slightly.
Mother Wei's eyes widened in surprise.
It turned out that the young lady had already calculated, and when she calculated that they would not really pull their knives against each other in the land of Taoism. That's why Yong Chuncao screamed loudly?
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, it's ...... after this incident" Wei's mother slipped her old eyes and saw clearly that there was a faint murderous aura around these people, and all of them had unkind faces.
Lu Lu didn't answer her words, anyway, take a step and take a look.
Those who are always afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, the more they worry, the more they suffer.
"Hey, this is Miss Lu Zhuang?"
A slightly familiar voice sounded ten paces away.
Lu Lu listened to the voice of the voice of the most spiritual, and after a little thought, he argued that this voice seemed to be one of the three teenagers rescued on the riverbank that day.
Sure enough, Wei's mother was shocked and asked, "But the military master who entered the house a few days ago?" ”
"Little Wang Ping. Wei's mother, right? Wang Ping smiled and stepped over.
When Lu Lu heard it: Oh no! It's time to goof!
The last time I showed them, it was Miss Lu who wore ugly makeup, and she must not let him see her true face today, otherwise the crime of deception will be deducted, and they will not be able to eat and walk around.
She raised her sleeves to hide her face and avoid it, so that Wang Ping would not see it.
Chuncao thought that the young lady was reserved and shy, so she rushed ahead to block Wang Ping's sight.
"Miss Lu, I'm glad to meet you." Wang Ping bowed his hand.
Lu Lu replied shyly, hanging his head timidly and turning sideways slightly, not saying much.
Wei's mother was very relieved: this is the behavior that the eldest lady should have, and the quick teaching of emergency indoctrination these days seems to have worked.
"Master Wang, you, are you also sheltering from the rain here?" Wei's mother greeted politely.
Wang Ping smiled: "Mother Wei is polite, call me Wang Ping, but I can't afford to be a master." The small one is to accompany us to return to Beijing and rest here in case of rain. ”
"Oh, is that Lord Duan who rested here?" Wei's mother suddenly realized.
Wang Ping smiled dryly and arched his hand: "It's not an exaggeration to know it, and I still look at Miss Lu's lot." ”
"The military master is polite." Lu Lu pinched his throat and returned the salute in a soft voice.
Cut, it sounds good. Even if she is not an acquaintance, Miss Lu, three ordinary women shelter from the rain, no matter how you say it, you can't turn them away, right? This will send someone to inspect it, and if it is found to be an acquaintance, it will apologize, which makes people even more despised.
Lu Lu didn't give Wang Ping a positive look from beginning to end, and of course he didn't want to see it much.
The freckles on his face, as well as the dumb look, Wang Ping didn't forget it.
He chatted with Wei's mother a little more, but it was not good to stay too long, so he went back to his life.
