Chapter 222: Elopement on a Rainy Night
Wu'er originally thought that this was also a meditation room, but she quickly glanced at it by the lightning outside, and found that this was not a meditation room, but a room where miscellaneous things were placed, and a hole appeared in the corner of the room, and a pile of miscellaneous things were piled up around the hole, scattered and scattered.
The wild monk walked over and took the embroidery girl's hand and walked towards the hole on the ground, and Wu'er followed closely, for fear that one would be accidentally thrown down.
The black cave is bottomless, the hole is not big, only enough for one person to enter, the wild monk walked down first, holding the embroidery girl with his backhand and not letting go, the embroidery girl followed him and carefully rubbed down.
Wu'er saw that the two of them were safe and sound, so she also raised her legs and took a step down, and only after her footsteps were solid did she find that there were steps under her feet, so she moved another step, and then walked down step by step with confidence.
When the three of them walked down about seven or eight steps in the dark, the wild monk stopped, and after Xiuniang and Wu'er came down safely, he took out the fire fold and wiped it a few times and lit it.
Wu'er quietly looked at the place where they stood, a hole as square as a cellar, and the hole was connected to a passage that stretched ahead.
Under the faint light, Xiuniang's face was a little pale, and her ten fingers coldly held the hand of the wild monk, silent.
The wild monk patted the back of her hand comfortingly, the embroidery girl understood what he meant, and hurriedly let go of his hand, the wild monk took the fire fold to the cave wall, and the other hand also touched it, I don't know what it was, only to hear a slight movement sound from the hole above the head, Wu'er looked up, only to see the hole slowly closed to the middle.
At this time, she seemed to hear the chaotic footsteps and human voices had come to the outside of the courtyard, and another lightning bolt streaked across the night sky, and when there was only the last gap left in the entrance of the cave, there was a commotion outside, and the heavy rain finally fell, covering up the sound outside, and Wu'er withdrew his eyes and looked at the wild monk.
Seeing that the entrance to the cave was closed, the wild monk lit a lamp in his hand and pulled the embroidery girl forward again.
The passage was slightly narrow, the three of them bowed their heads and bent down for about a quarter of an hour, the passage came to an end, the wild monk stopped, pulled down a hemp rope above the wall of the passage, he gently pulled a few times and stopped, only stood in place and waited, after a while, a hole was cracked in the top of the head, several people looked up, and there was a person at the top of the hole who stretched the lamp down.
Through the light, the man looked down, and saw the wild monk at a glance, he gestured, the wild monk nodded, the man retracted his head again, and after a while, there was a plop, and a thing was put down along the cave wall, Wu'er took a closer look, but it turned out to be a soft ladder.
The wild monk said to the embroidered lady: "Hold my waist tight, and I'll take you up." ”
Xiuniang hurriedly hugged the waist of the wild monk with both arms, the wild monk held the escalator with one hand, protected the embroidery with one hand, stepped on the soft ladder with a slight force, he climbed the soft ladder with agility, and only took a moment to get out of the hole.
Wu'er was a rough girl, she was used to doing rough work in the past, and she had two handfuls of strength in her hands, she looked at the rickety soft ladder, and saw that the embroidery girl was already on it, gritted her teeth and carefully climbed up as it was.
After Wu'er also climbed up, the man who had just probed pointed to the side and motioned for the three of them to go and sit down at the table, but he didn't know where to press, and the hole closed again.
Then the man spread the wooden planks on the side one by one, and after a while, he put together a bed, it turned out that the entrance of the cave was where the man slept.
After the man got it done, he walked to the table and babbled to the wild monk for a while, and the wild monk also gestured a few times, and as soon as the man understood what the wild monk meant, he turned around and walked out of the house.
It was raining outside, and it didn't seem to be as heavy as before, and the man went out of the house in the rain and into the darkness.
Wu'er stood next to the embroidery girl and lowered his head and thought to himself, this person looked thin and ordinary, and seemed to be mute, and the room was also extremely simple, and there was no clue at all.
There was a damp and moldy smell in this room, which made it unbearable for people to stay for a while, she couldn't help but look at her little lady with some worry, but saw that the embroidered girl did not show any impatience on her face, and Wu'er felt more and more strange in her heart.
Where did the embroidered girl know the thoughts of the maid around her, she just looked at the wild monk and smiled softly, and the wild monk was tickled by the smile of the embroidered girl, and his hands were unruly.
The door creaked open, and the mute man stepped into the door in a robe, still holding a big umbrella in his hand, the wild monk stopped his movements, and asked the mute with his eyes, the dumb man nodded hurriedly, and honestly waited for the three of them by the door.
The wild monk gently pulled up the embroidery girl and said, "You can go now." ”
The mute man handed the umbrella in his hand to the wild monk and took the lead and walked forward.
A few steps outside the house parked a carriage, the dumb man walked to the side of the car and opened the door, the wild monk saw that the ground outside was muddy and difficult to walk, so he handed the umbrella to Wu'er and told her to hold the umbrella, but he picked up the embroidery girl and walked to the car, the embroidery girl was so shocked that she almost exhaled, and she was afraid of being heard, so she covered her mouth hurriedly.
Wu'er took advantage of the wild monk to get into the car with the embroidered girl, quietly looked around, and saw that not far away was the side gate of Nanguan Temple, and vaguely guessed the identity of this mute in his heart, either a husband or a temple handyman.
The embroidery lady sitting in the carriage asked in a low voice: "Yelang, it is dark and rainy tonight, where are we going?" ”
"Embroidery girl and relax, you will not suffer a little." The wild monk smiled, but did not say where they were going.
It wasn't until the dumb man stopped after driving the car for a while, and the three of them got out of the car again, only to find that they had come to a passenger terminal, Wu'er knew that the west of Xiangyang City was a cargo terminal, so this place was closer to Nanguan Temple, and it must be the passenger terminal in the south of Dashou Mountain.
The wild monk waved his hand to the mute, and the mute quietly drove the carriage away from the dock.
The wild monk grabbed the embroidery girl and walked towards a boat parked on the dock, Wu'er saw this and hurriedly touched it from his pocket, pinched out some fine powder from his fingers, and quietly sprinkled it on the road beside him.

After Yin Ren returned to Li Zixiang's residence in the evening, he couldn't help but want to see Zhao Xian, so he went to knock on the door of Zhao Xian's wing, but knocked left and right and didn't see anyone open the door, let alone heard anyone in the house, he pushed the door open and walked in in confusion.
There was a letter on the table facing the door, Yin Ren's heart jumped, he ran to the table in a few steps and picked up the letter and opened it to read, gradually, he took it back with a smile on his face, and it was full of worry in just a moment.
After confirming that Ah Yan also left with Zhao Xian, Yin Ren thought about what Zhao Xian said in the letter, and had guessed what the two of them were doing, thinking that Zhao Xian was taking risks alone, he couldn't help but get anxious, and after thinking about it for a while, he walked out of the small courtyard and gave a few orders to Lao Hu, Lao Hu immediately drove the carriage to Xingfu again, and Yin Ren looked at the sky and turned back into the house.
