Chapter 109: Escape

Time always slips away inadvertently, the month I said at the beginning, now there are only seven days left, seven days later, is she really going to marry Xie Chongning?

"Miss, are you ready?" Biyue urged outside the door.

No one cares about a marriage in the first place, so why do you have to go to the temple to pray for blessings? Although Mu Yu was puzzled, he couldn't stand Shen Mei's instructions.

In order to reassure her mother, she didn't think much about it, so she agreed, maybe in her mother's opinion, she married Xie Chongning for a lifetime, so even if it was a marriage that looked like a god, she had to go to the temple to pray for blessings.

Mu Yu picked up the cloak on the hanger and draped it on his body, "Okay, let's go." ”

Sitting in the carriage, she looked at the direction of travel that didn't seem to be the direction of the Lingyin Temple, "Where are we going?" Aren't you going to Lingyin Temple? ”

"Madame said to go to Hanshan Temple." Biyue blinked.

"Hanshan Temple?" Mu Yu frowned, glanced at the road outside, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the weather began to cool, and people who went to the temple to pray for blessings and worship would also choose the Lingyin Temple near the distance in order to save trouble.

Besides, this Hanshan Temple is at the foot of the mountain, and you still need to climb the mountain, and her mother never chooses Hanshan Temple on weekdays, so why did she go to Hanshan Temple to pray for blessings today?

"Mother can say why she wants to go to Hanshan Temple instead of Lingyin Temple?"

Biyue shook her head, when Mrs. Chu said that she went to Hanshan Temple, she also thought that she had heard it wrong, and repeatedly confirmed that it was indeed Hanshan Temple, and then conveyed it.

"It may be that Hanshan Temple prays for a more effective marriage." Biyue only guessed.

Mu Yu nodded, he did have a soldier recently, but it was just an ordinary blessing, and it was just to make his mother feel at ease.

This is for the marriage to pray for blessings, there are many things to pay attention to, the old abbot stood aside and explained one by one, Mu Yu entered the Buddhist hall alone, and Biyue and the guards guarded the door.

Mu Yu glanced back at Biyue at the door and asked the abbot, "Can't they come in?" ”

The old host smiled kindly, "If there is too much noise, the Buddha may not be able to hear your blessings, Miss, the process that the old man just said, Miss has remembered it?" ”

The old host asked the Buddha Hall to kneel for an hour, gently recite the Heart Sutra, and when he was about to leave, he said what he thought in his heart, and the Buddha would bless him.

Although a modern person believes in cause and effect, she has never believed in gods and Buddhas, she nodded lightly, "I remember." ”

The host nodded, "Then the old man will take his leave first." ”

The empty Buddha hall, the silence was a little terrifying, and she also had a feeling of being watched, she showed that she had patrolled the place, and there seemed to be no place to hide.

The strangeness of being spied on made her feel creepy, she slowly raised her head, and met the eyes of the Buddha statue, the big Buddha was made of gold, and the eyes were inlaid with black obsidian, and there was nothing abnormal.

The five-zhang tall Buddha needs Mu Yu to keep his head up to see the top of the Buddha's head, but it is so far away, but the Buddha's eyes seem to be looking at her all the time.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound behind the Buddha's body, "Who?" Mu Yu asked vigilantly, turned his head and wanted to bring Biyue closer to the Buddha Hall, but just to wait for her to speak, she suddenly felt a force in her neck, and fainted as soon as it was dark in front of her.

The man dressed in black caught her, put her on his shoulder, and carefully led her out of the Buddhist hall, without attracting the attention of Biyue outside the door.

An hour passed, and Biyue knocked on the door of the Buddha Hall without waiting for Mu Yu to come out at the door, "Miss, it's almost time, we should go back." ”

There was no response in the room, Biyue knocked on the door again, and reminded again, but she still didn't wait for Mu Yu's response, Biyue slammed open the door of the Buddhist hall, and in the empty Buddhist hall, where was there still her own young lady.

"Someone, Miss is gone!" Biyue rushed into the Buddhist hall with the guards and began to rummage around, there was no shadow in the Buddhist hall at all, but the back window of the Buddhist hall was open.

"You go and look in the back, and I'll look for the abbot." Biyue panicked, could it be that someone took advantage of her inattention and kidnapped Miss?

Where did the old abbot think that there would be such a change, and he ran behind the little novice namly, "Oh, how could it be? How can people not see? ”

"Have any strange people come to your temple lately?" Biyue asked.

Xiao Shami, who came with the old abbot, shook his head, "Back to the girl, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, no one came to Hanshan Temple to worship, and the last time a guest came to the mountain, it was half a month ago." ”

"Miss Biyue, there is no young lady in the backyard, but there are a series of footprints on the ground." The guards searched carefully, but there was only one clue.

"By the way, there is a small garden connected to the back window of the Buddha hall, we came to water the flowers this morning, and the ground is still wet, and this is how the footprints should come." Xiao Shami said happily.

Biyue followed the guards to the backyard, and after the guards saw the footprints, they wisely chose to bypass them, so the footprints were relatively clear, but Biyue stared at the footprints for a long time, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

This footprint is not big, and the imprint is not deep, which is in stark contrast to the footprints of the guards next to him, which are obviously the footprints of a woman! Could it be that Miss was not kidnapped, but didn't want to marry Master Xie, so she secretly ran away?

But this is just speculation, Biyue can't judge by herself, so she can only send some guards to watch over the scene, and go back to tell the old lady about the matter.

As soon as the news reached the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion was in a mess, Mu Heyun didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and sent away most of the guards in the mansion to go out to look for Mu Yu, Shen Mei was anxious, and looked at the door restlessly.

However, Mu Yi was relatively calm, "You said that the footprints in the garden of the Buddha Hall are the footprints of a woman?" Definitely? Is it the mark of the shoes that Miss wore this morning? ”

"I'm not sure that this shoe print must have been left by the young lady, but the footprint is a woman, and the guards also walked on the dirt floor, and the footprints can be seen to be small and shallow."

Mu Yi understands her sister's temperament, such a reckless thing, her sister can't do it, if she was against her marriage with Xie Chongning, she would have expressed it a long time ago, how could she suddenly choose to run away from the marriage before the marriage?

"Let's go to her room first." If my sister really chooses to run away from marriage, she won't be prepared for nothing.

Mu Yi opened Mu Yu's wardrobe and jewelry box, "Biyue, come and see, is Miss missing something?" ”

Biyue immediately nodded when she saw it, "There are several hairpins missing, and there are two pieces of clothing." ”

"Missing?" Mu Yi narrowed her eyes, could it be that Cheng Yu'er was really ready to escape from marriage a long time ago?

"But...... Miss, these commonly used hairpins are still there, and what is missing are a few more expensive ones. Biyue muttered suspiciously.

When she went out in the morning, the young lady obviously didn't stay with anything, and she kept watching before the young lady walked into the Buddhist hall, so when did the young lady take her own things?

A few hairpins can be carried on the body, but what about the clothes? Could it be that you wear it on your body too?

Mu Yu is really gone, and the people sent by Mu Heyun did not get any news, but Xie Chongning also took people and joined the army looking for people.

At this critical moment, Mu Yi did not hide the news he knew, and shared it with Xie Chongning without reservation, "I think you also know the character of the rumor, although the current clues all point to the rumor's escape, but I always feel that there is something strange in it." ”

Xie Chongning was silent, and personally took a look at the footprints left by Hanshan Temple with Mu Yi, and compared with the footprints left by the guards, the footprints left were small and shallow, and they were indeed not left by adult men.

"Yu'er's clothing and jewelry are indeed missing." Mu Yi continued, "But Rumor won't be so reckless, even if she doesn't want to marry you, I believe she won't choose this way of saying goodbye without saying goodbye." ”

At present, it seems that the clue has been interrupted like this, Xie Chongning squatted on the ground and touched the soil in the garden, "Has it rained recently, why is the ground wet?" ”

"Little Novice said they had just watered the flowers in the morning." Mu Yi replied.

"So coincidentally?" Xie Chongning sneered, took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the soil on his hands.

If it weren't for Xie Chongning's reminder, Mu Yi wouldn't have realized what was wrong, but when Xie Chongning emphasized the soil, Mu Yi also found an abnormality, "It stands to reason that it is going to be winter, and there is no need to use so much water to water the flowers, it is easy to frostbite the flowers." ”

So this dirt was deliberately done by someone, and deliberately left this series of footprints that seemed to be women's, in order to misunderstand them, this is Mu Yu himself escaped.

"If someone deliberately falsified such evidence, what exactly are they trying to do?" Mu Yi couldn't figure it out anymore, who didn't want to let Yu'er marry Xie Chongning?

There was a faint smile on the corner of Xie Chongning's mouth, and when Mu Yi asked, he looked back.

"It's not me!" Mu Yi couldn't understand what Xie Chongning meant, "Although I don't want Yu'er to marry you, I don't need to direct and act by myself, let the whole family worry about Yu'er's safety." ”

"I know it's not you." Xie Chongning replied slowly.

Coming to the temple to pray was proposed by her mother, and her mother didn't have so many twists and turns, so the only one who would do this, except for her father, Mu Yi couldn't think of anyone else.

"But this is just a speculation at the moment, and it's not certain that the rumors will continue to be found." Xie Chongning turned his head, speculation is just speculation, and there is no evidence to prove that Mu Yu is missing, and it was his own person who did it.

When Mu Yu woke up, it was already dark, and when she opened her eyes, she looked around quietly, there was no one in the room, and there was food on the table.

Who exactly? She was kidnapped for no reason, and the house was comfortable, and it seemed that the people who brought her here were not prepared to hurt her.

With this realization, she became bolder, "Is there anyone?" ”
