In April, a grand event occurred in Jinling City.

The Gu clan of Jinling giant spent a lot of money to build a Buddhist temple on the red leaf mountain on the outskirts of the city, the temple is grand, the Buddha statue is majestic, the temple is paved along the red leaf mountain, accounting for most of the mountain.

Mrs. Gu personally went to the Leiyin Temple of Mount Emei, thousands of miles away, and invited the Flawless Zen Master to preside over the Taoist monk, and named the new Buddhist temple "Little Leiyin Temple".

On the eighth day of April, it is the birthday of the Buddha, Xiaoleiyin Temple chose to hold the opening ceremony on this day, not only the monks of the nearby temples came to open the altar to preach the law, Gu also set up a soup kitchen, a free clinic hall to do good deeds.

For a time, the people inside and outside Jinling City poured onto Hongye Mountain.

Qu Muge is one of them.

Before dawn today, she was dragged up from the bed by her mother Cao, saying that she would take her to Xiaoleiyin Temple to open the light and exorcise evil spirits.

On the way up the mountain, the aunt of the Li family, who was traveling with her, looked at Qu Muge who had not woken up in a daze worriedly, and asked Cao's: "Hasn't Peach Blossom's illness gotten better?" It's been a long time, and I'm still dumbfounded. ”

Cao Shi glanced at Qu Muge, and said to Li with hatred: "This money-losing goods, I think it is a lack of clean-up, I and her father slapped her a few times, oh, honest." ”

"You can't just fight, you still have to treat the disease quickly." Li Shi lowered his voice slightly and said: "The Zeng family heard that the peach blossoms are evil, and the bride price is going to go back, I can't persuade them here, I originally planned to knock them again, this time and again, but a lot of money is missing." ”

"Hush." Cao Shi sneered disapprerovingly: "After this village, there is no such shop, just their little dowry, and then I want to get a daughter-in-law like Peach Blossom, let's dream!" It's not me who blows, the face of peach blossoms, there is no girl in ten miles and eight towns to compare, I regret that the bride price is less! ”

Qu Muge crossed over half a month ago to become a peasant girl Ye Taohua, a poor child who was about to be married off by his parents at the age of thirteen.

She woke up in a panic, asked questions that shouldn't have been asked, and said things she shouldn't have said.

After learning that he was about to get married, the resistance was too fierce, and he was beaten several times by the Ye family and his wife, and he was locked in the house.

During these days of being locked up, she finally calmed down, accepted and saw her situation clearly.

She didn't know why she crossed over, let alone if she could go back, and what matters now is to escape from the control of this ruthless couple and find a way to survive.

Only by living freely and peacefully can she think about the philosophical question of why she came here and where she will go.

Today, she went up the mountain to worship the Buddha, which was the time she had been waiting for to escape!

As the three of them approached Xiaoleiyin Temple, more and more people went up the mountain to open the temple.

Cao took Ye Taohua to line up in front of the mountain gate, and did not squeeze to the square in front of the main hall until noon.

There are many large incense burners placed in various directions on the square, and everyone is rushing to make incense and kowtow, and their mouths are chattering and praying.

Cao Shi knelt down and kowtowed a few times while Ye Taohua, grabbed a few handfuls of incense ash and smeared them on her face, and muttered: "Demons and monsters quickly retreat, demons and monsters quickly retreat......

Qu Muge was speechless for a while, if she could subdue demons and eliminate demons with just a few handfuls of incense ashes, she would definitely jump into the incense ash stove immediately, she didn't want to stay in this feudal and backward era!

After the incense and worship the Buddha, Li said that he wanted to ask his man for a peace charm for the monk to open the light, and Cao also said that he asked the monk to open the peach blossom, and the three of them walked to the circulation place in the side courtyard.

The door of the wing room of the circulation office was closed, and there were many donors waiting for the light to sit in the small courtyard outside, and the three of them also found a seat to sit down and line up.

After half a day of observation, Qu Muge probably already knew the topography of the temple, and she planned to wait for the Li family to go to the inner wing room to open the light first, and then crash into the Cao family and escape.

There is a latrine behind the circulation and a path leading to the hill behind the temple next to the latrine.

When Qu Muge was going up the mountain, he had seen the path near the hillside across the valley, as long as he ran to the back mountain and drilled into the wild woods of the Red Leaf Mountain, the Cao family would not want to find her.

She closed her eyes and thought back to the terrain she had seen when she went up the mountain, planning her escape route, and the more she thought about it, the more nervous she became, and her hands even trembled a little.

In order not to make herself so nervous, she distracted herself and listened to the small talk of the people around her.

At this time, the old and the young mother-in-law stood next to Qu Muge in line.

The young daughter-in-law supported the old man, and when she saw that there were many people, she was a little impatient, and complained: "Mother, there are too many people, let's come back another day." ”

The old man shook his head and insisted: "Today is the birthday of the Buddha, the days are good, and the things that are enlightened are more effective." ”

The young daughter-in-law whispered: "I heard that Mrs. Gu spent a lot of money to build the Xiaoleiyin Temple in order to accumulate virtue for General Gu. Every time General Xiao Gu wins a battle, slaughtering the city, killing and surrendering soldiers, burning, killing and looting, how can the temple built for such a person, Xiao Leiyin Temple be blessed by the Buddha......"

The old man's face changed, and he said, "Buddhism is important, and you must not talk nonsense." ”

After speaking, the old man thought about it and followed his daughter-in-law away.

The words of the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law also reached the ears of Cao and Li, and the two looked at each other, and Li took the lead in standing up and said, "Let's go too." ”

Cao Shi took a sip, pulled Qu Muge, and said, "Forget it, it's really unlucky!" ”

Qu Muge was a little panicked, if the Li family and the Cao family were not separated, with her thin body, she didn't dare to guarantee that she would be able to break free from the pursuit of the two.

How could a good plan be disrupted by a gossip?

was anxious, and someone outside suddenly shouted, saying that the Gu family's porridge shed was handing out silver!

As soon as they heard the news, everyone who was still burning incense, asking for signs, and waiting for the consecration rushed to the outside of the temple, and the Cao family and the Li family were no exception.

A godsend!

Qu Muge no longer hesitated, took advantage of the chaos to push the Cao family, turned his head and ran against the crowd towards the thatched house in the back mountain.

She was short and thin, and she got into the crowd in three or two clicks, and the Cao family found that she was going to run, and turned around to chase, but she was stopped by the crowd rushing out, and soon she couldn't see the shadow of Ye Taohua.

"You dead girl, come back to me! Where are you going? Come back! ”

Qu Muge ignored Cao's screams and ran as fast as he could.

Bypassing the thatched house, as she saw on the road, there was a path leading to the back mountain.

She kept running along the road, and just when she thought she was going to run away from the confines of the Little Lei Yin Temple, the mountain road turned and a courtyard paved with bluestone paved roads stopped in the middle of the road.

With a hillside cliff on the left and a temple wall on the right, it's a dead end!

How can there be such a big yard hidden in the mountains and forests?

Qu Muge's teacher is not good, this time he will die in a hurry!

She looked anxiously back and forth, and now she turned back and ran down the mountain, she would definitely be caught by the Cao family.

She couldn't turn back, so she had to grit her teeth, climb over the half-person-high bamboo fence in front of the small courtyard, and break in.
