In the guest hall, a young novice of six or seven years old stepped forward and clasped his palms together and said, "Female Bodhisattva, the fasting is not proper, please come back later." "Pandan returned the salute, withdrew, turned around in the courtyard, looked around, only to see that several red plums in the courtyard have bloomed, and there are pine and cypress, even though it has entered winter, but also looks extremely prosperous. Xianglan felt that this plum huā bloomed well, and had the heart to fold one and insert it in the bottle to offer to the Buddha, so she walked to the plum tree, reached out to pick the huā on her head, and suddenly felt that someone was peeping at her, and her heart was cold, and she turned around sharply, but she saw that there was no one around, only a few sparrows fluttered their wings and flew to the sky.

Doberman hid in the doorway, and then secretly turned sideways and looked out through the crack in the door. I saw a beautiful woman wearing a big red gorilla felt cloak standing under the plum, just looking at the silhouette of Nana, this time the child turned his head, revealing a white jade-like face, his complexion was shining, and he was more and more amazing. The tips of Du Bin's fingers itched, and he said secretly: "I haven't seen it for many days, but there is more color than before, and it is strange that a romantic guest like Lin Jinlou has made this little lady have a soft leg, and she will be taken captive tomorrow, so that the Hou Ye will reward her to me, if not, I should always be allowed to taste it." ”

Here, the Qin family and the Wang family served Mrs. Lin once, and then they went back to their rooms, and they didn't have to wait for a meal. In the afternoon, Mrs. Lin, Wang, and Lin Dongya went to the high-rise building behind to listen to the play, and played everywhere, but the Qin family still went to worship the Buddha. In the evening, Mrs. Lin had exhausted her energy during the day, and the mountain wind blew, so her body was not good, and the doctor prescribed a prescription and drank it to sleep peacefully. The Qin family was afraid that something bad would happen, and on the second day, when they saw that Mrs. Lin was a little stronger, they divided half of the people to escort Mrs. Lin home.

Nothing happened for a while. Stay until the evening of the second day. All will be resting. Xianglan lived in the outer room of the bedroom of Qin and Lin Dongxiu together with the red note. After serving the master, the red note blew out the light and fell asleep by herself, but Xianglan couldn't sleep, sat up in her clothes, took out a peony and sprinkled the burden of huā, and held it in her arms. This is a few months ago she sewed a stitch and a thread carefully, and said to others that the needlework was made for the birthday of Master Taihe, but in fact, it was compared to her own body. Mrs. Dingyi has now gone to the temple in Yangzhou to become the abbot, and she originally planned to sneak away from the Lin family. First went to the nearby Jingyue Nunnery to find her senior sisters, and went to Yangzhou together to join the master, and after a few years, when the matter faded, she would pick up her parents, but she was stabbed by Lin Jinlou, and threatened with the lives of her parents, which directly cut off her thoughts. Xianglan sighed, if she can't leave for a while, it is better to offer this dress to the monks of the temple, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of soft footsteps. I saw Lin Dongxiu coming out of the house, and Xianglan was busy standing up and lighting the lamp. Lin Dongxiu waved his hand and said softly: "No need, I can't sleep, I heard movement outside, and asked someone to come over and talk." As he spoke, he sat next to Xianglan.

It turned out that Lin Dongxiu also couldn't sleep. Since she was a child, she has envied Lin Dongqi and Lin Dongyan since she was a child, and they were born from his wife's belly, and they have a competitive nature, but it is difficult to stand out among the sisters. Lin Dongqi knows that Gu Quanren's face is good, but Lin Dongya intentionally or unintentionally pressed her, and her words were stinging, which made her a lot of idle anger on weekdays, and secretly resentful, and now Lin Dongya is about to do something shameless, but she can let out the evil breath in her chest, and she is more likely to pick up a good marriage in vain, this good thing for the fisherman's profit, why is she happy? It's just that she feels that her conscience is uneasy, and she feels that something is wrong, and she can't say it.

Xianglan said in a low voice: "I see that you don't use it much at night, I'm afraid that you will be so hungry that you can't sleep well, and Mrs. still has half a box of snacks, so the girl will use two pieces of tea." With that, he got up and went to the table to serve tea and pick up another snack box.

Lin Dongxiu stood up, exhaled deeply, slowly paced to the door, and said secretly: "That drama said that he would do it tonight, I don't know when he abducted the third sister and eloped." ”

Xianglan came over with tea and said with a smile: "What do you see?" Looking out from the crack in the door, the third watch has been turned over at this time, only to see a half-moon hanging on the canopy, and the courtyard seems to be sprinkled with a layer of silver frost, crystal bright. Suddenly, seven or eight figures suddenly appeared on the roof of the opposite wing, and landed gently and skillfully in the courtyard, each holding a bright and flickering big knife in his hand. When they came to the courtyard, the leader made a gesture, and the person who entered went to the east wing first. In that room were living Wang and Lin Dongya.

Xianglan's heart jumped, she hurriedly covered her mouth, turned to Lin Dongxiu and said, "It's not good, there's a bad guy, girl, don't make a noise, go get dressed." As he spoke, he went to shake the red note, and walked quickly to the inner room to call the Qin family.

Lin Dongxiu thought it was Lin Dongya's good friend who took her to elope on the night, and Xianglan made a fuss, but when she got to the crack in the door, she saw that there were more than a dozen tall men standing in the courtyard, and she suddenly lost her soul and stumbled to the bedroom, and when she saw that the Qin family had gotten up, she said with a crying voice: "Mrs., there is really a villain, and he is carrying a knife in his hand, what should I do?" Great, didn't the eldest brother leave the guards and the courtyard?"

Qin Shi also panicked when he arrived, and hurriedly grabbed a cloak, only to hear a slight sound at the door, it seemed that someone was prying the latch, and the red note had already softened his legs, and he was shaking with Lin Dongxiu.

Xianglan said secretly: "The nurses didn't move, I don't know what happened." Her hands and feet were cold, and her heart was pounding so much that she was about to jump out of her throat, but when she saw that the women in the room were all flustered, she calmed down and said in a low voice, "While the villains don't know that we have noticed, let's sneak out of the back door of the meditation room, and there is a door in the backyard, leading to the monks' dormitories, where a few small novices live." This morning, the old lady went home and took away about 20 guards, and there were more than 20 people in the front yard at this time, so let's tell them to hurry over and save people. After speaking, he turned around, picked up the thick cotton monk's robe that he had sewn and draped it on his body, covered the door of the bedroom of the meditation room, walked to the back pantry, and saw that there was a door, opened the latch and gently pushed it open, seeing that it was quiet outside, he was busy helping Qin Shi out, several people staggered, and after a few steps, they heard a terrible scream, vaguely like Zidai's voice, and cried loudly: "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! I'm just a girl, the lady and the uncle's concubine are in the next room, there is a debtor, don't find me! ”

This bark caused a burst of dog barking, and the yard instantly became chaotic, and then Zi Dai was silent. Shutong and Zidai were in the same room, and it was unlucky to think about it, and Lin Dongxiu only felt a chill all over his body.

Xianglan's heart sank, such a loud noise, how could she alarm the courtyard and the guards, but it was quiet outside, it was obvious that the other party had already prepared, so she gritted her teeth, grabbed Qin's arm, and rushed forward without looking back, and took a look, only to see that the small door in the backyard was locked, only to hear the movement behind her getting louder and louder, and there was a faint sound of kicking the door and footsteps, Lin Dongxiu's cheeks were full of tears, and he was about to cry, crumbling, and unsteady on his feet. In a panic, Xianglan suddenly saw a firewood stack in the corner, towering, and immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly helped the Qin family to climb the firewood pile.

Fortunately, because it was the inner courtyard of the temple, the wall was not high, so the four of them climbed to the top of the wall, jumped down with their eyes closed, and fell on a soft mud ground planted with huā grass. Xianglan looked around and said: "Because we went to this temple, the monks were all driven away, and even the abbot went to live elsewhere, and the rest were less than ten years old Xiao Shami, which was really unbearable. ”

Xianglan has become the backbone of these four people, everyone should not be, support each other to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Xianglan pierced the window paper, reached in to remove the buckle on the window, and held Qin and others to get in, and finally when it was her turn, the red note reached out to pull her, but Xianglan said: "There is a second floor in the Zangjing Pavilion, you go up and hide, they can't find it here for a while." As he spoke, he closed the window.

Qin Shi hurriedly asked, "My son, what are you going to do?" ”

Xianglan said: "Sooner or later, they will search here, can not sit still, I went to the bell tower to ring the bell, the monks of Qixia Temple were staying nearby, listen to the bell and know that there is something wrong in the temple, as soon as they come, the wife will be saved." ”

Qin Shi was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Xianglan's hand: "But when the gangster heard the bell, he must come to arrest you!" You also come in and hide, there was such a big commotion, and the guards in the front yard should also hear it. ”

Xianglan shook her head: "I'm afraid the guards in the front yard are useless" Qin's face changed, but seeing Xianglan smiling at her, she lowered her voice and said: "If I want to have a good one, I still ask my wife to treat my father and mother well, and I can find someone to support them in their old age."

Qin Shi was stunned, but the red note cried, choked up and said: "Great benevolence and righteousness, Xianglan girl" covered his mouth, trembling all over, and had cried into tears, but saw Qin sliding down the wall and sat on the ground. The red note hurriedly pulled it and cried in a low voice: "Mrs., please take care of yourself, let's go upstairs first, don't let down Xianglan's heart." He picked Qin up and walked towards the stairs in the dark.

Qin Shi seemed to be stupid, and sighed for a long time and said: "I mistreated her before" Tears rained down before he could say a word.

Lin Dongxiu followed behind, already crying with tears on his face, and he stuffed his fist into his mouth and couldn't speak. She never thought that things would be so unbearable, it was obvious that her third sister was going to elope with the play, how could it attract gangsters? Knowing this, she should have told the Qin clan from the beginning, but the matter has come to such a field, she can't say a word, she can only bite her lip and let the tears roll down.

The half moon hangs high, and the cold wind kills. Xianglan ran to the bell tower, panting and holding the stairs to the top, holding the bell hammer towards the bell, only to hear a "knock knock" bell ringing wildly, which was deafening, and Dubindon changed color and shouted: "Oh no! "Immediately led people to the bell tower. (To be continued......)
