Chapter Seventy-Two: Something Happened
After returning to the room, Wanyi called Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Gu and told them to let them sleep and close the door.
The two mothers-in-law were suspicious and hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, the slave's ears are sensitive!" It won't delay the girl's summons at night. ”
Wanyi didn't talk to them speculatively, thinking that even if there were really lewd thieves, people would not attack the two and a half old women, so she was too lazy to talk nonsense with them.
After a few more small talks, he let them go on their own.
When she was about to sleep, Wanyi told Liu Wu that when she got up at night, she must wake herself up.
Liu Fu comforted her: "Girl, this Cuizhu Nunnery is very safe, since its establishment to the present, I haven't heard of anyone who has an accident in this nunnery?" ”
"How do you know?" Wanyi raised her eyebrows, judging from what she had seen and heard in her previous life:
"This is a famous nunnery inside and outside the capital, and even the family of the Son of Heaven will come to pray for blessings. If there were any bad words, wouldn't it sweep the royal face? Even if there is something really going on here, it will be suppressed by the presiding officer of the nunnery. ”
Liu Fu did not agree with the girl's words: "What is this? As long as the monks in the nunnery do not do anything that violates morals and customs, and take the responsibility for safety in place, no matter how big the pilgrims are, it will not be considered to swipe the royal face. ”
"Okay, I can't tell you, you better go to sleep!" Wanyi smiled and gently pushed the catkins.
The catkins looked at the incense in the incense burner, and then returned to the bamboo collapse.
Nothing was said all night.
One night a few days later, it rained heavily all night.
The next morning, the rain stopped.
After breakfast, Wanyi was preparing to go for a walk in the bamboo forest behind the hermitage.
Who knows, I heard a noise in the hermitage.
It turned out that a sister-in-law named Miaoyan hanged herself last night.
When she died, she was not only disheveled, but also covered her face with a white cloth.
Seeing her like that, she was humiliated before her death, so she chose to commit suicide. And he must have felt that he had no face to face the Buddha, so he covered his face with a cloth.
The presiding teacher quickly ordered someone to ask the official to come over, and closed the door of the nunnery by the way.
Then he sat aside and gave Miao Yan a super degree.
Seeing them like this, Wanyi also knelt beside her reverently and recited the mantra of death several times.
Half an hour later, the adults in the Shuntian Mansion rushed over with the officials.
But last night's heavy rain washed away all the incriminating evidence, and Miaoyan was alone in a room.
It was because the headhunters were busy for a long time, but they did not find any strong evidence.
No one knows how the thief got in and how he got out.
Master Ci'an couldn't do it, so he had to arrange those officials in the side courtyard first.
Only then did he come to Wanyi: "Little donor, are you scared today?" ”
Wanyi shook her head: "I'm fine, please also ask Mrs. Shi to mourn." ”
The little girl was dressed in plain clothes, her expression was a little sad, and there was no trace of panic and fear on her white face.
I only saw that Mrs. Ci'an was inexplicably shocked in her heart, but she still had to ask some words: "Little donor, why don't you send someone to send you down the mountain?" ”
When Wanyi heard this, she showed a sad smile: "No need, I'm here to pray for my grandmother, how can I give up halfway?" ”
"But in the hermitage, something like this is happening...... now."
"If it's too inconvenient, I'm willing to go down the mountain." Wanyi's expression was a little lonely.
She didn't want to go back to Bofu at all.
However, Master Ci'an didn't understand the little girl's thoughts, and thought that the little girl was angry with her family, and blamed her family for not taking her back, so she didn't want to go down the mountain.
"Little donor, the old nun is worried about the safety of the little donor, as long as you are honest with the Buddha, it is the same wherever you pray."
Wanyi agrees with Mrs. Shi's words, but praying for her grandmother is just an excuse to send her out, at this time, how can she tell the truth?
"Mrs. Shi, it's okay, I'm not afraid! Besides, now that something has happened in the nunnery, how can I, as a pilgrim here, leave first before the matter is clarified? ”
Seeing that Wanyi said resolutely, Mrs. Ci'an had no choice but to stop mentioning the matter of leaving, but just told her a few more words and left first.
Because something happened in the nunnery, Mrs. Xu's master and servant, who also worshiped the Buddha here, were left behind.
When Wanyi went to find Mrs. Xu, she was closing the door and worshipping the Buddha inside.
It was after the maids reported outside the door, and after a while, she asked Wanyi to be invited in.
Mrs. Xu's room, like the other rooms, is simply furnished, and a statue of the Buddha is enshrined in front of the Buddha shrine on the side, and the cigarette smoke is in front of the Buddha.
"Is there something wrong with you?" Mrs. Xu played with the Buddhist beads in her hand and asked casually.
Wanyi looked at her for a moment before she spoke: "I was thinking, living next to you can be regarded as our fate." But this kind of thing happened in the nunnery, and I was scared, so I wanted to come and talk to my wife. ”
"Oh?" Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows and looked at her, with a smile on her face:
"If you're afraid, you should stay in your own room and be with your maid, instead of walking around like this."
Wanyi pursed the corners of her mouth, ignored her coldness, and chatted with her about the Buddhist scriptures.
Mrs. Xu doesn't seem to know much about the stories in the Buddhist scriptures. It seems that her so-called interest is also disguised.
Wanyi was afraid of her, and after seeing through her intentions, she suddenly turned her face, so she had to talk nonsense with her about the things in the capital.
Mrs. Xu was not good at teasing people, and finally got up after a perfunctory long time: "You drink tea slowly, I'll go to the clean room." ”
"I'll go too!" Wanyi hurriedly got up.
After Mrs. Xu's face shook a few times, she finally opened her mouth with difficulty: "What are you doing in a filthy place?" ”
Wanyi explained: "I also want to go to the toilet, but I don't dare to go, now that Mrs. Xu is here, I just want to be a companion." ”
"Then you go first, how about I let my two maids be your companions?" Mrs. Xu's hand in her sleeve was clenched into a fist.
"Mrs. Xu, aren't you going to the toilet? Wouldn't it be good for us to go together? Wanyi frowned, looking puzzled.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu let go of her fist and sat back down: "I don't want to go again," she said and called her two maids: "This girl is going to the clean room, you go and be a companion with her!" ”
"Forget it," Wanyi waved her hand: "Since Mrs. Xu doesn't want to go, I'd better go with my maid!" ”
After leaving Mrs. Xu's room, Wanyi went to the presiding officer Mrs. Ci'an and euphemistically expressed her suspicion that Mrs. Xu was a man.
Mrs. Ci'an, who recognized that she had read countless people, smiled at Wanyi: It must be that she is not used to being detained in the nunnery, and she will be in a trance after a long time.
She asked someone to get a few soothing incense, gave it to Wanyi, and comforted her that the government would definitely solve the case as soon as possible, so that she could just relax!
