Chapter 22: Midnight

Night soon came, and the lights in the temple were still not extinguished, but the pilgrims had gone, and it seemed extremely quiet.

In the wing, the candle flame was faint, someone knocked on the door, and the people outside the room said, "Miss." ”

Autumn opened the door and the man entered.

Gu Rong was sitting in the house drinking tea when she saw him coming, "You're here." ”

"According to the instructions of the young lady, people have been arranged at the exit at the foot of the mountain, and I have brought two good people up the mountain."

Chunfeng fluttered down on the courtyard wall, "Miss." ”

"Come into the house and talk."

The room in the east pavilion was as bright as day, there was no light in the room, and the night pearl was placed on the shelf for lighting, and the chessboard on the table was halfway down.

"Shizi." The man in black who blocked the door during the day said, obviously Chunfeng alarmed him.

"Mother went up the mountain this time to pray for my father's health and not to make extraneous branches."

"Yes!"

Liyun made another son, broke the chess game, and the sunspot suddenly collapsed, he smiled, "The prince seems to be absent-minded, and the old man narrowly wins." ”

The person on the other side picked up the black piece, put the black chess piece back in the urn, and said, "The abbot is concentrating on cultivation, but I am too involved in my heart, no matter what the reason, my skills are not as good as others." ”

Amitabha Buddha said, "How is the prince's health recently?" ”

"It's not as good as before, it's all old problems left over from the war, and my mother's trip is also asking for peace of mind."

The two packed up the chessboard, and a new game had begun.

On the other hand, Chunfeng had to order him to enter the house and said, "A total of thirteen people are hidden in the flowing waterfall in the back mountain, and their meals have been tried by themselves. ”

"Thirteen?"

"Miss don't worry, you will definitely bring people back!"

"To live."

"Yes!" The three of them said in unison.

"Let's go." She was the first to go out of the house, and Xiaocui hurriedly tied her cloak, "It's windy at night, and Miss don't get caught in the cold." ”

"Miss......" Chunfeng stopped her, and stopped talking a little.

Seeing him hesitating, Gu Rong knew that things must be different, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"My subordinates just came over and found that there are many masters hidden on all sides, but the breath is not as good as Dongyue Road."

"How many?"

"There are no less than ten people, they have a strong breath, and they are masters!"

It must be tricky to make Chunfeng a master, she thought for a while, and in order to grasp it, she said, "Transfer people up the mountain." ”

"Yes!" Chunfeng had to order him to leave the house and quickly go down the mountain to gather people.

Gu Rong stepped out of the house, only to feel that the sky was full of stars, so beautiful, the moon was like a disk, hanging high, like the night of Lushan, she missed it in the depths of her heart, and she didn't know if the master and mother were in good health?

Stepping out of the courtyard door, I turned a corner and heard someone talking in the distance, as if I was admiring the moon.

She didn't want to disturb her, and was about to avoid it, but she didn't want the person in the distance to suddenly stop her and ask, "Is the girl also here to admire the moon?" ”

The woman looked to be about forty or fifty years old, dressed in dark gold, and she had a smile on her face, as if she was quite happy that she had met a woman who had come to admire the moon in the middle of the mountain temple this night.

The atmosphere in the air was suddenly and inexplicably cold.

"Miss!" September whispered in her ear.

Qiu Yi also solemnized his face, "There are masters!" And more than one!

Qiuyi and September glanced at each other, and they were not afraid of the crowd, but the young lady was weak......

Could it be that the masters around here are all for the woman in front of them?

Gu Rong's heart flashed this conjecture very quickly, and she walked towards her with a smile, saying, "The little girl was attracted by this star and moon, and she didn't want to disturb Madame, I'm really sorry." ”

"I'm really bored and panicked, if the girl doesn't dislike it, why don't I be the two of us together, an old man and a young companion?"

Gu Rong happily agreed and helped her, "Although Madame is older than me, her demeanor is still the same, she must have been a beauty when she was young, what about the old words, isn't this teasing the little woman." ”

Jiu Jiu and Qiu Yi followed behind her, but when she saw Gu Rong waving her hand, she said, "Go ahead." ”

"Yes!"

The two left, Gu Rong helped her, and the woman looked at the moonlight and sighed, "I'm getting older......"

Gu Rong saw that she didn't mean to say anything further, and stood quietly beside her. Sometimes people are like this, they want to be accompanied by someone inexplicably, but they can't talk about the reason for the companionship, the two of them look at the moonlight and have their own thoughts.

Tonight, no matter what, we have to keep her.

Gu Rong took the initiative to speak, "I don't know Madame, do you like music?"

"Listen occasionally."

"When the moonlight is in the sky, it is also a beautiful day, why don't you let me play a song for my wife?"

"That's good, of course." The woman smiled and said, "Come on, go and get the harp." ”

After a while, Youyahuan went and returned, brought a yaoqin, handed it to her, Gu Rong took the qin, and several people walked to the pavilion, Gu Rong tuned it slightly, and played Si Jiangyue.

The sound is soft, light and melodious.

The woman looked at Gu Rong in the pavilion and said approvingly, "If my daughter can have half of her gentleness and sensibility, how good it would be......"

The guard shook his head at the thought of the man sleeping in the chamber, but fortunately the woman did not see it.

Gu Rong played two tunes for her in a row, and chatted about tea art for a while, and then simply ripped off the purse on her waist and talked about needlework. ”

"What time is it?"

"The hour has passed."

How fast did time pass?

Gu Rong got up with her and said with deep apologies, "I never thought that the night was dark, so Madam should go back to her room to rest." ”

The woman nodded, feeling a strong affection for Gu Rong, and took her purse, "This purse?"

What does it mean to like?

Gu Rong smiled, "I embroidered this purse myself, and I will give it to my wife tonight." ”

"I don't know which daughter the girl is?"

She replied, "Wang." ”

"But Wang Yan, Lord Wang's family?"

"It's Brother Ling."

The woman nodded, more satisfied with her.

Gu Rong smiled, "It's not far away, why don't I send Mrs."

The woman gladly agreed.

Gu Rong sent her to the gate of the courtyard and watched her enter the courtyard, so she went back to her yard, but saw that only Xiaocui was guarding outside the house, obviously Chunfeng and Qiuyi had not returned yet.

It's been more than two hours, isn't there an accident? Gu Rong was a little worried, she didn't hesitate anymore and went to the back mountain alone.

The road is not far, after walking for a while, she can hear the sound of the water, but there is no figure in sight, she has doubts in her heart, boldly walked forward, gradually farther and farther away from the mountain temple, stepped across the small bridge, only to see the torch in front of her suddenly rising, Gu Rong was startled, she didn't see clearly under her feet, she stepped on something she didn't know what it was, and there was a sharp pain in her feet, she instantly turned white, bent down and endured the pain, I don't know who put the beast trap, hid in the grass, and was stepped on by her.

Gu Rong secretly said bad in her heart, and endured the pain and moved sideways to the tree, but fortunately, the grass here grew densely, so she was able to hide.

She leaned against the tree and panted, took out the handkerchief in her arms, bent down and bit her knees, broke the trap with both hands, and then used the handkerchief to treat the wound and bandage it simply.

She didn't dare to move for half a minute, she wanted to concentrate on what they said, but she was not close to eavesdropping to no avail, and she scolded herself in her heart I don't know how many times.

Gu Rong leaned under the tree worriedly, the wound on her ankle was painful, she took a deep breath, and suddenly a foreign object fell on her eyebrows, Gu Rong reached out and took it off, and saw that it was a green leaf.

There's someone in the tree!

"Who's there!"

She was looking up at the tree, and when she heard this roar, she secretly said that it was not good, and she didn't care about anything else, and whispered to the people in the tree and shouted, "Help me, save me!"

A dark shadow flashed in the tree, and she was picked up in the blink of an eye, and disappeared in place.

The big man who lit the fire arrived with a torch, but he didn't see anyone, thinking that the old man was very distracted, and he didn't want to turn the torch, and the place where Gu Rong was hiding just now was covered with blood.

"Big brother! Someone!"

"Give me chase!"

Gu Rong was being held, and seeing that the people behind her were about to catch up, the stream was so wide, and the bridge was so far, she hadn't thought of a way yet, the person holding her asked, "Will it be water?" ”

Yes?

"I ......" She hadn't finished a word, but she felt as if her mouth and ears had been poured into water, her nose was choking and it was difficult to breathe, and the man had already jumped into the stream with her.

Gu Rong only felt stuffy, and exhaled heavily, and all that poured into one mouth was water.

She doesn't know how to water!
