Chapter 031: Missing

Chapter 031 is missing

Tong Xue looked at Tong Shuang and took one last look at herself, then turned around, bent down and picked up a small pestle, and ran towards the door with dexterity and neatness.

She stood still at the door, put down the small pestle, turned around and sat down calmly, with her hands on her cheeks, looking like she was watching a good show, and watched Tong Xue dying on the bed with crooked eyebrows.

Tong Xue bent down and sat up from the bed, kicked the oil lamp on the open ground under the bed, and then threw herself on the quilt to extinguish the corner of the quilt that had been lit.

Then she bent down, her teeth and hands together, untying the dead knot in her foot.

Fortunately, Tong Shuang's body was young, and the dead knot was not particularly tight, so it was quickly untied by Tong Xue.

After that, she quickly slid off the bed, avoiding the flames that had spread to the bed, and walked towards Tong Shuang with a hideous expression, untying the rope in her hand as she went.

She could see that the spirit that lived in Tong Shuang's body did not have any great ability, otherwise the expression on her face would not have changed from gloating to terrified when she gradually approached.

Walking to Tong Shuang's three steps away, Tong Xue picked up a vase from the shelf of Duobao Pavilion, lifted it, and threw it to the ground hard, then bent down to pick up a piece of broken porcelain crumbs and approached Tong Shuang.

"Sister, don't do stupid things! Now the noon urgency is to put out the fire, if I die, your sister will not live! The spirit was finally scared, and said in a trembling voice as Tong Xue easily pressed her shoulders and rested the broken porcelain piece on her neck.

"I don't have a bad memory, I still remember who set this fire! If you don't want to die, hurry up and return your body to me for embroidery, or don't blame my men for cutting your neck!" Tong Xue's eyes were round, and her face was full of anger.

At this moment, she looks like a little devil who came out of hell, how can she have the appearance of a half-year-old ten-year-old boudoir girl!

The spirit was frightened by her expression, rolled its eyes and fainted, and when she opened her eyes again, her sister Tong Shuang said to her with tears: "Sister, you can kill me!" ”

Tong Xue threw the broken porcelain piece in her hand, opened the latch, pursed her lips, picked up Tong Shuang, and stepped out of the threshold.

The two sisters ran to the middle of the courtyard in disgrace and collided with Cai Qing and Cai Lan, who rushed to hear the news.

"I accidentally knocked over the lamp when I got up at night, call someone to put out the fire!" Tong Xue wrapped Tong Shuang in her arms and said to the two girls.

Cai Qing and Cai Lan said yes again and again, one shouted for help, and the other escorted Tong Xue and Tong Shuang out of the yard and took them to a safe place to stand.

It didn't take long for the entire Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to be alarmed.

Tong Jingxuan rushed all the way over, and saw that the little girl was scooping water from the patio and fighting the fire in an orderly manner.

He instructed the girl to send the two to the Rising Sun Hall and stay behind to personally direct the firefighting.

It took more than an hour for the fire to be completely extinguished, and the entire Hanmei Pavilion was reduced to ruins.

Tong Shuang was obviously frightened, and she snuggled tightly in Tong Xue's arms all night, no matter how Tong Xue and Lu Shi comforted her, they always whimpered and cried.

Pearl boiled a soothing soup for the two of them to drink to suppress the shock, Tong Xue finished drinking, the whole person has calmed down, but Tong Shuang always buried his head in Tong Xue's arms, did not speak, and did not want to see people.

Mrs. Tai rushed to Mama Song, seeing this situation, she hurriedly put her right hand to her chest, recited a sentence of Amitabha, and then closed her eyes, began to pull the Buddha string in her hand, and recited the reassurance mantra.

Seeing this, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou recited the peace of mind mantra three times in a row, and finally calmed Tong Shuang.

"Embroidery is young, probably colliding with something unclean. Another day, I will take her to the Great Buddha Temple to find the host to have a look. ”

Mrs. Dingyuan felt that this fire was a little strange, and there might be a suspicion of monsters.

She believes in Buddhism, but also believes that evil is invincible, if there is really something unclean in the Hanmei Pavilion, then you can invite the Taoist monks to come to the house to see.

Mrs. Tai's move integrated Tong Xue's meaning, and she nodded again and again, "My granddaughter also feels that she has been having nightmares lately, and she doesn't sleep well at night. ”

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou pondered for a long time, and simply set a decision on the fifteenth day of this month, and took Lu and Tong Xue to the Big Buddha Temple to offer incense and ask for peace.

After the fire, Tong Xue and Tong Shuang's sisters were temporarily placed in the west courtyard of the Rising Sun Pavilion, Tong Shuang was very depressed for a few days, and even the spirit in her body never appeared, thinking that she was frightened by Tong Xue's appearance that night, and the girl in the Rising Sun Hall was more than twice as many as the Hanmei Pavilion, Tong Xue was always careful, and it did not dare to act rashly.

Time in the anxiety of the bell slowly forward, this day finally arrived on March 15, Tong Jingxuan specially asked for leave, early in the morning to escort a female dependents to the Big Buddha Temple.

Tong Xue followed in front of Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis, first kowtowed to the gods, and then knelt on the futon in the main hall to listen to the presiding lecture.

"Master." Mrs. Dingyuan put her right hand to her chest and saluted Master Youming, "The old woman came today, and she is actually two granddaughters. ”

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou pushed Tong Xue and Tong Shuang to her, "Can the master take a look at my granddaughter?" ”

Master Ariake smiled and bowed his head.

He observed Tong Xue for a long time, and then set his eyes on Tong Shuang.

Tong Xue knew from his unchanged look for thousands of years that this "enlightened monk" was probably a god who was very good at acting.

Sure enough, after seeing the faces of the two, Master Youming said to Amitabha, "The two little donors, born with full foreheads and broad eyebrows, are blessed and will be able to be rich and noble in the future." Yet"

Tong Xue was impatient to listen to this divine stick, and interrupted him a little impatiently, "May I ask the abbot, is there a master with the Dharma name 'Jingzhen' in your temple?" ”

Master Ariaki was interrupted, and he didn't see any anger, he still smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "Your temple can't be called a monk of 'Jingzhen'. I wonder where the little donor knew about this number? ”

Tong Xue showed a disappointed look on her face, sighed and said, "In my dream, this master told the little girl that she could solve my confusion. ”

Master Ariake's unchanging kind expression for ten thousand years showed a hint of cracks, and he raised his eyebrows invisibly, "I don't know what confusion the little donor has?" ”

Tong Xue sighed even more, "I just don't know what to be confused about, so I want to find that master to help me solve my doubts." ”

Master Youming stared at her eyebrows for a long time, and said, "Amitabha", "Buddhism has clouds, evil has evil retribution, good retribution has good retribution, everything has cause and effect, do good deeds, do good deeds, you can overcome all suffering." If the little donor does more good deeds on weekdays, and plants good causes and bears good fruits, he must be able to solve the confusion in his heart one day. ”

This monk said a lot of things, no different from saying nothing.

Tong Xue had no choice but to respond in a good voice.

Finally sent the abbot away.

Tong Xue, Mrs. Tai, Lu and others leaned on lunch in the temple, and rested in the specially prepared room.

She and Tong Shuang slept on the same couch as usual.

Maybe it's because the temple is full of aura, which makes people's spirits also relax, this night, Tong Xue slept so relaxed that she didn't even know that Tong Shuang got up halfway.

Tong Shuang lightly lifted the quilt and climbed to the outside of the bed, dressed herself, walked to the door, rubbed her eyes, and muttered to her personal girl Lingzhi, "I want to go to the clean room." ”

Lingzhi said hello to Cai Qing, took Tong Shuang's hand, walked through the path in the courtyard, walked out of the courtyard gate, and turned right towards the clean room.

After Tong Shuang came out of the clean room, she saw that the garden was full of spring, and all kinds of flowers were blooming, and said to Lingzhi: "Good Lingzhi, I don't want to sleep now, you can walk around with me." ”

Lingzhi came out with Tong Shuang alone, and he didn't dare to take her around, so he shook his head again and again, "This courtyard is so big, if there are only two slaves and maids and girls, what if they are lost?" ”

Tong Shuang grinned and said, "Then I'll wait for you here, you go and call the nurse and Mu Zhi over, it's not the two of us." ”

Lingzhi saw that this place was only a few steps away from the courtyard gate, so he told Tong Shuang to stand under a peach blossom tree, and he ran back to the courtyard and called Tong Shuang's nurse and Mu Zhi.

As a result, when she hurried to the bottom of the peach tree after being taught by the nurse, where could she still see Tong Shuang's shadow!

"Wake up, girl! The second girl is gone! Tong Xue finally rested for the first dreamless nap in days, but was woken up by Cai Qing's hurried call.

"What happened?" She asked, squinting, still unconscious.

"The second girl is gone!"

Everyone thought that even if Tong Shuang was lost, he would not go too far, but who knew that after searching all over the area around the courtyard within a mile, Tong Shuang was nowhere to be seen, so the nurse panicked and hurriedly reported the news of Tong Shuang's disappearance to the Lu family.
