Qingfo Temple is not far from Xiangling Town, and it is only half a day's journey to walk slowly.

A few people traveled in two carriages, and the formation was not huge, but it also let the people of the entire Xiangling Town know that the two daughters of Qufu went out together.

Some of the people who stayed alone in the darkness were also quietly following suit.

Qu Youying got into the carriage and was making up for sleep, Mu Jingzhu led the way in front, and the carriage was very quiet.

She couldn't sleep after sleeping for a while, she could expect some things when she went out on this trip, but how serious the crisis hidden in the shadows was, she couldn't estimate it, and all she could do was to make "Miss Qu" disappear as soon as possible.

In the midst of the bumps, the group soon came to the Qingfo Temple.

Because they had greeted each other in advance, the temple had already arranged a wing room, and they went to rest together.

Lunch was a specially prepared meal in the temple, Qu Youying ate a full meal, and then invited Qu Qiluo to go to the front to worship the Buddha in a decent manner.

She knelt in front of the Buddha statue, folded her hands, and muttered to herself, no one heard what she said, but what she saw was her three heavy kowtows after a long prayer.

After kowtowing, she stood aside and waited for Qu Qiluo.

There are a lot of pilgrims in Qingfo Temple today, and almost all of them are people at a glance, and Mu Jingzhu stays by their side at all times.

He saw Qu Youying standing still, and stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine." Qu Youying's eyes rolled, and she said with a smile, "I want to ask for a lot, can you accompany me?" ”

She said that she didn't care whether Mu Jingzhu agreed or not, she stepped forward and grabbed his arm, looking intimate.

"I'm going to find my mother's family, I'll be away for a while, I'll leave today."

She said this in a low voice, because she didn't want Mu Jingzhu to worry, so she hesitated for a morning, but she still planned to tell him.

Mu Jingzhu was dragged by her to the lottery, and after hearing this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said without thinking, "I'll accompany you." ”

"No, I can't. Once I disappear, I am afraid that those people will find my house, and you must stay and take care of my family, because I only trust you. ”

Qu Youying said and let go of his arm, picked up the sticker, knelt under the futon, closed his eyes, and began to make a wish.

Mu Jingzhu looked at her back, and the look in her eyes seemed to follow the rhythm of her shake stick, and the light and shade were blurred again and again.

It wasn't until Qu Qiluo walked to his side that he realized something, and turned his head towards her, but Qu Qiluo had already laughed, "Mu Gongzi's eyes are a little wrong when he looks at me. ”

"What are you doing with this arrangement?"

Although it was the first time she met face-to-face, this Qu Qiluo covered it up very well, but when she saw her again today, her previous cover-up was completely gone.

When I raised my hand, all but the face was a stranger.

Therefore, Mu Jingzhu no longer hides anything, and asks straight to the point.

"I don't want to do anything, it's her wish, I'm just pushing the boat along."

Qu Qiluo's answer was seamless, because they both knew that Qu Youying didn't want to be grounded in that kind of protective circle, she knew whether the rumors outside were true or false, and she knew what she was going to do.

Blindly avoiding can't play any role, so it's inevitable to go out of the house, but it's just an opportunity.

And Qu Qiluo gave her this opportunity by giving her the return gift of losing chess.

As for whether Qu Youying can survive those rumors, it depends on herself.

"If Mu Gongzi is really worried about her, he should know in his heart what he should do to minimize the loss."

Qu Qiluo raised his hand and brushed the hair around his ears, his sleeve slid down his wrist, and a flash of light disappeared.

Mu Jingzhu's eyes lit up, and he grabbed her wrist, "Are you her person?" ”

His grip was not small, but Qu Qiluo didn't feel any pain in his hand, looked down at the place where he was held, and continued to smile, "I can be or not, it all depends on your decision." ”

Mu Jingzhu's eyes suddenly sank, and said, "My decision is-"

"Jing Candle, you see, I drew a lottery."

Qu Youying took the bamboo stick to exchange for the signature, looked up and wrote three big characters on it, she excitedly went to tell Mu Jingzhu, but saw him and Qu Qiluo leaning together, slightly stunned.

Mu Jingzhu immediately let go of his hand and strode towards her, "Show me." ”

The signature on it is written very bluntly, saying that she will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune.

"Look, you're relieved, aren't you? Will you just promise me? ”

She begged in a low voice, but Mu Jingzhu didn't agree for a long time.

Qu Qiluo, who was on the side, saw it and said with a smile, "Sister is really lucky, but are you sure that this signature is not wrong?" ”

In a word, Qu Youying laughed, "How is it possible, it was given to me by Miao Zhu personally, it will never be wrong." ”

She deliberately bit the last sentence, the meaning of the inside, she believed Qu Qiluo could hear it.

"Since my sister has asked for a signature, then we can definitely go back safely this time, otherwise I am afraid that someone will demolish this temple."

"Haha, probably not!" Qu Youying pretended to be stupid, raised her sleeves to hide her yawn, reached out and rubbed her eyes, and said, "I'm used to taking a lunch break, but I'm sleepy now, no, I'm going back to rest for a while." ”

She didn't care about the two of them, yawned again and again, and walked to the back room.

Mu Jingzhu naturally followed, but Qu Qiluo said that he was going to walk around, and then went to listen to the host's lecture, so he left alone.

Mu Jingzhu still felt that Qu Qiluo was suspicious, so after sending Qu Youying back, he went to find Qu Qiluo.

But he turned around in a big circle in the Qing Buddha Temple, but he didn't find anyone.

Thinking of the conversation between her and Qu Youying just now, she was shocked and immediately returned to the guest room.

Xiaoshu saw him running over from a distance, and was a little puzzled, "Mu Gongzi, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Where's Xiaoying?"

"After she went in, she didn't come out, and she should still be sleeping."

"That's not right." Mu Jingzhu walked to Qu Youying's door and said, "She never took a nap and didn't get up when she didn't get up." ”

As soon as the words fell, he pushed open the door, and the room was empty, and the mattress was cold, and there was no trace of sleep.

"Why is it gone? Before I had a cup of tea, I heard her talking in the room. ”

Mu Jingzhu frowned, "What did she say?" ”

"I first heard the sound of the stool overturning, and then I came up to ask, she said that she accidentally kicked over the stool while drinking tea, and it was nothing, and told me to continue to guard and wait for you to come back and tell her."

Because Qu Youying would get up and drink water when she was thirsty every time she took a nap, Xiaoshu didn't think it was strange and continued to guard there.

How do you know that people will disappear now?

"Could it be that someone has kidnapped Miss? But the voice just now was indeed that of the young lady. I didn't find anyone intruding either. ”

Mu Jingzhu believed that Xiaoshu did not speak, Xiaoshu's martial arts were not bad, if even he didn't find anyone approaching, then there were only two possibilities.

One is that the other party's martial arts are far above him, and the light skills are even better, so he can quietly avoid him and take away Qu Youying.

The other is that this person was mixed in with them from the beginning, because they were acquaintances, so when they went in and out, Xiaoshu would not be suspicious.

As his mind turned, he had already identified a possibility, but he still asked for confirmation, "Who else has been here during this time besides me?" ”

Xiaoshu immediately said, "The second miss and her maidservant came back, and the second miss asked the young lady if she was resting, and I said yes, and then the second miss left." ”

"She?" Mu Jingzhu asked again, "When was it?" ”

"Probably before a meal."

"A meal is half an hour, that is, the time of a cup of tea before you hear the sound in the small room."

Xiaoshu didn't know why Mu Jingzhu had to calculate the time like this, but he was right.

"Mu Gongzi, do you suspect that Miss's disappearance has something to do with Second Miss?"

Mu Jingzhu didn't speak, but nodded really.

Xiaoshu was puzzled, he said, "But the second miss's room is not adjacent to the miss, there is also a room in between, if the second miss wants to go to the miss's room, she must go outside, once she comes out, I will definitely see it." ”

"You have to go outside?" Mu Jingzhu stared at him and asked, "Can't you go behind the window of the room?" ”

"When you went to eat just now, I walked around here and found that the window of the young lady's room was sealed, and I asked the little master in the temple, and they said that since the day before yesterday, the window of this room has been broken, because the wood here is all transported from outside, and there is nothing in the temple to replace. Therefore, they informed the merchant who built it that it would take some time for the things to be delivered, so they sealed them up from the outside in order not to hurt people. Originally, this room was intended to be closed to pilgrims, but early this morning, they received news that Miss Qu needed a room without windows. That's why they arranged this room. ”

While Xiaoshu was talking, Mu Jingzhu had already walked to the window and studied it.

"It's true that materials are not ordinary things, and ordinary things cannot be replaced."

His sneer made the little book start to get goosebumps and a chill down his spine.

He stared at Mu Jingzhu's suddenly gloomy face, and asked thoughtfully, "Mu Gongzi, what did you think?" ”

"The nails on the seals on the windows are nailed twice, and the marks around them are very new, which means that the time is not long. The sound you hear of the stool turning over should be the sound of nailing wooden bars. Sure enough, at that time, Xiaoying left? ”

He said that Xiaoying was gone, not taken captive.

The little book is very clever and quickly learns the cause and effect from this.

He looked at the fact that there was no one outside, walked into Mu Jingzhu's side, and confirmed in a low voice, "What does Mu Gongzi mean that Miss left by herself?" ”

"Yes."

Mu Jingzhu knew what those rumors outside meant to Qu Youying, but he still wanted to protect her personally, and he also believed that she could only be safe if she was by his side, at least those people would not dare to attack her blatantly.

But he didn't expect Qu Youying's choice this time to be so decisive.

She used to tell him what she was going to do.

But this time, including coming to this Qingfo Temple, she didn't mean to tell him, for fear that the information in the main hall just now was said by her who didn't want him to think that she had been taken away.

Mu Jingzhu stared at the forest outside the window, his eyes were deep, and his body exuded an aura that no one should enter.

He suddenly reached out and covered the place of his heart, where for the first time he had the illusion that he would lose her.

That feeling didn't go away for a moment, but gradually deepened with her decision to leave.

He also knew that in Qu Youying's heart, since Shuifu, she had suspected what he had done.

He also thought about whether she would listen to the conversation between her and her that night, when he accompanied him, and the people over there appeared.

can come back from Shuifu, as always, she has not revealed anything at all. Even he couldn't be sure for a moment whether she knew or not.

Xiaoying, if you want to leave, should I open up and indulge you freely, or should I lock you up firmly. I want to talk about "Bone Physiognomy" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
